Early Fattening Of Animals,

The philosophy of increase of fat in animals
is, that the digested food not needed to sup
ply waste in the system, is laid up in the form
of fat around the muscles, ready to be absorb
ed again into the circulation if needed. Waste
is induced by combustion in the lungs, OF the
digestcd food, to supply animal heat Hence
The same amount of food given IN warm wealth
er will. if digested, ford greater surpnlS Of
fat than when fed in cold weather Hogs or
other auimals intended for futteniug should he
shut up this month. Many advocate making
the size of the fattening pen so small that the
animal will have just room to stand or lie
While confinement favors rest disposition TO
fatten, too close quarters are not heaithful
for the animal which needs moderate exercise
to promote digestion. The quality of the flesh
produced must be somewhat impaired by any
confinement that interferes with the health
The appetite may be kept up by change of food
frequent supply Of green vegetables, such as
corn, cabbage leaves pea-vnes, and the refuse
of the garden Cooked food digests much N ore
easily than raw, and is IN a condition to yield
more nourishment, and is also better. reliShed
by most kinds of stock. Cleanliness in the
fattening pens should not be overlooked
Although pigs proverbiaIly are filthy, they are
not really SO; they do not delight in the
efluvia of their own droppings, as any one can
see by noticing that they generally appropriate
one portion Of the pen to filth. An occasional
washing and scrubbing with soap suds will con-
duce much their thrift-all animals keep in
condition more easily when the skin is kept
clean and healthy.

SELECT SEED Corn THIS MoNTH-The best
seed will be likely to produce the best crops
next year Pass through the corn field tnis
month and select the fullest and most forward
ears, from stalks bearing two or three ears, and
in some way mark the hills. AS sooa as Suficl-
emily ripened they should be gathered, braided
together by the husks into " traces. " and hung
in dry place. If this plan be followed up,
there will be an improvement in the quality,
quantity, and early maturity if the tther pro,
cesses of cultivation are properly attended to-

COUNTRY BoYs.-Country lads often feel
that their lot is a hard one They see city
bred youngsters on their travels and their
sprees at the age of fourteen veritable young
gentlemen, with finished exterior, a cigar and
a cane. The young farmer at the same age
finds himself with hoe in hand and a cheap
straw hat on his head sweating among the hills
of corn. He is frequently enviOus Of his city
brother-whSking past him in the cars with
kid gloves. delicate ringletS, and plenty Of
money in his pocket
Mind your coru, boy hoe it ont clean, keep
steadily to the labor you have in hand, do it
well, and in time your good days will come too
II you find farming is not suited to your taste
or your strength, or circumstances if YOU like
mechanism better or have a capacity for bust
ness, whatever eventually yOu may engage in
it is all the same you have begun right. The
city blades have begun wrong, and in due time
you will see it. Their fathers and mothers

not escape from its effects, these he must en-

do the city business. Observing men have
often stated this fact, and inquire into the origin

fnd it to be so. All external circumstances
are in favor of the son or the clerk succeeding
to the trade of the old firm but the son seldom
almost never dies in the position of partner
of the house. Why is it? Simply because
habitual industry in wanting, and habitual in-
diligence is not wanting With all the exter-
nal odds against it, the country furnishes the
cities their principal business men. If intelli-

cheerful and contented, the chances are that
