BOILED CoRS FOR Hoes AND OTHER
SrocK.-W. Van Loom, writing to the
Prairie Farmer, says that he has prac-
ticcd feeding boiled corn tc his stock and
hogs, and is satisfied that he saves ono
hall; his grain, and gains as much more in
time )" that one hushel Of corn on the
cob, boiled, will produce as much as two
led raw, AND in ollc-half the tiur. In one
experiment he fed three bushels of boiled
corn, per day, TO twenty.sercn hogs. for
ten days. The average gain was two
pounds pei day. He then fed the same
lot of hogs on two bushels of Jaw corn
per day for twenty days-lhcy gained Il
mere tritlc over one pound per day. These
were small young hogs-largcr ones would

SALT FOR SwISE.-A correspondent OF
the .iAnulen der Lnndutrthschutt states
some interesting experiments to test the
use of salt in fattclling swine. lie Sc
Icciel two pairs of barrow hogs weighing
200 pounds apiece. One pair received
with their daily allowance of food two
ounces of salt; the other air, similarly
fed. nolc. hi the course oI week 1t was
4easiIy seen that the salted pair had amucll
stronger appetite than tic othors, and at,
ter fortnight the salt was increased to
two ounces apiece. After four months thy
weight of the salted hogs Was 800 pounds
apiece, while that Of the unsalted, five
weeks later, Preached only 800 pounds.
This experiment was repeated with almost
precisely the same results. The author
feeds young pigs, according to their age, a
quarter TO one ounce daily, breeding sows
very little during pregnancy, and during
the heatof summer withholds it i'll a great
degree from all as it induces thirst, and Ii.

"i:.ural " urges upon farmers to use every
means to adj to their manure heap. "A
good nany farmers waste about half OF
their ,,.llurr. or rather they do not max"
hal! MS much as they might. 1t is Just
about rs We'll to throw manure into the
creek. rs To throw il ont of the stable i'll
summer lime, ana let it lay and burn. 1t
should be mixed with some material that
will prevent its rapid fermentation and de.
s.r,lc;ion. Common earth and swamp
mncI: will do this. The farmer siiould
think Us much of his manure pile as he
does Of anything about his premises. /
knew o.c farmer who really seemed to
appreciate manure heap. He would
take hi, visitors to see his pile of compost
wi,Ias mach satisfaction as the lady would
show them to the par!or, Or exhibit her
flower garden. No cart or wagon and
team was idle on his farm. Some head
lands needed cleaning up, or the bitches
by the roadside were partially filed and
uvcrgrown with grass, and must be cleaned
out, or Il load of ashes or muck could be
obtained somewhcre,-all of which he dc,
cEare,l would make 'eopital stuff
"Now, hc it understood that farmer
who is lius looking out for his manure
pile, will make three times the quantity
am,! better stuff. with the same land and
stock, than the farmer who uses the ma
nurc he obtains without any efforts to i'll
crease the quantity, or any special regard
TO the quality. But it may be said that
by putting two lots of manure together,
ora quantity Of noid with manure, We
create nothing That each will contain all
the clements of fertility separate that they
would united This is true. The object
OF tie union is to prevent the loss OF val
u:.ble elements, and also to bring them to
condition TO be con,cnictly used, and in
state tit for the food Of plants"
