WonMs IN Hoes. LIN the early set
Element Of Ohio. hogs were often
troubled with worms in the fat about
the kidneys, . worm in form, like the
rain or ish worm, as they are called,
about two inches long, the size OF a
large knitting needle, and so numer-
GUS that the kidney fat soon became
corrupted; when they got them bad
their hind parts would drag on the
ground. while they would crawl on
their fore legs, and soon die. ! had
a fine hog taken in this way, when
put two tablespoonfuls OF spirits Of
turpentine across the small OF his

which effected a cure. shut the hog
up and iattened him; when killed bis

GIVE YOUR PIGS A PASTURE.

1t may be a mistaken notion that has
found lodgment in my head, that fresh air,
light, sunshine, exercise and cleanliness
are as essential to perfectly healthy hog,
as to man, or any other of our domestic an
imals and acting on this idea | give the
pigs the run of the orchard, and they pay
we'll for the use of the land Their seasons
stint is to eat up all the windfalls, thus de-
stroying the worms and preventing them
from leaving the apple and secreting them
selves in the ground, as they otherwise
would, and going through their transfor-
nation state and coming out a perfect in
sect ready to deposit its eggs in the fruit
of a succeeding crop, and your hogs de-
stroy very many of those pests that kill so
many of our choicest apple trees. The
borers leave the apple trees and take ref
uge under the stones, and their await their
state of transformation but you will find
the hogs turning over the loose stones and
eating up the pests, and they stir up the
soil round the roots Of the trees and make
it mellow, and as you watch their move
mcnts you must admit that his hogship is
not by nature so filthy as many represent
him by the force of circumstances, that he
has to wallow in a small, filthy pen, five
by ten. Give him. dry sand bath in
which to perform his ablutions, and he will
wash himself as frequently and keep as
clean as any pork despising jew; and,
when you come to a final result, you will
have fine healthy porker, and your or
chard well worked over, and the poor
wormy windfalls all eaten up. Do not sup
pose we mean for the hogs to run in the or
chard TIL late in tie fall, not by any means
When the apples begin to ripen and fall
of, the hogs should be shut up in smaller
enclosure where they can take proper ex-
ercise, for we think sour apples given to
hogs when fattening them is injurious, as
it makes their teeth sore, and it is with
difficulty they can eat other food, but tboiled
with pumpkins, some apples are decidedly
a valuable food l.. HERsEY- -Maine

FATTENING ANIMALS IN A HURRY.

We have pointed out in former years the
tutility Of attempts to lay heavy masses OF
flesh on poor cattle by stutfing them with
rich food. Such attempts not only prove
to be failures but are always wastcful.-
The material consumed is nearly lost the
animals remain comparatively poor, and
the owners are convinced that tattening an
imals for market don't pay"
1t is perhaps we'll for the cause of good
management that all neglected treatment
of animals should result III loss to the
owner If he has starved his cattle, sheep
and pigs for year or more, he cannot atone
for 1t by sudden attempts to push them to
tatness. On the contrary the only true
way is to see that growth continues with
out cessation, summer and winter from the
earliest period of their existence till they
are finally sold in market 4 single check
given to this continued progress may ar
rest or retard it for months Our own OBJ
scrvations lead us to the opinion that the
whole profits resulting from raising and
fattening, when this continued progress is
kept up by careful, regular but not extrava-
giant feeding, are at least triple the amount
realized from early neglect and heavy feed
ing afterwards often the difference is
many times greater than here stated
There is nothing that should be more
strongly impressed on the mind of the
young farmer who makes the feeding of an
imals a prominent part of his business, than

ting growth throughout the whole course
of their existence. The most successful
pork-raiser with whom we are acquainted,
adheres strictly to this course not only
feeding his store pigs we'll and regularly
through fall and winter. but commencing
the tattenlng not merely in autumn. as is
too commonly the case, but early in the
spring.
1t is objected that this management is
too expensive. This objection is urged bv
those who find two or three months only to
consume more than they can afford They
feed heavily for a short time, but do not re-
ccive a corresponding return Of Increased
flesh " If two months feeding they in
quire, "costs Us so much money, how can
we ever afford to continue it for two or
three years Z" 1t is very tine they cannot
because the whole system they adopt is a
profitlcss one. Fortunately it does not re-

tnued growing condition of animals. Here

barley meal to a fine steer, gave weekly
increase in weight averaging lo pounds.
4 neighbor advised him to push him, and
eight quarts were accordingly fed daily.
The weekly increase of flesh was less than
when hereceived four quarts. The amount
being increased to twelve quarts per day,
he gained nothing at all. Several similar
instances have come to our knowledge, and
among others fine animal was recently
fed by a neighbor peck or more OF rich
meal per day Aftr thus urging on the
fattening process as he supposed, for sew
eral weeks. he was finally sold and proved
to be only few pounds heavier than when
purchased. The many bushels Of feed which
he had consumed and the labor of atten-
dance given him, literally went for moth
ing.
Successful feeders, who prove all their
experiments by weighing, have long since
ascertained that animals in fine condition
will lay on more flesh for the amount of
food eaten than those of inferior character.
Hence shrewd men will not purchase lean
and raw-boned animals for fattening This
fact serves to establish the truth that all
animals at all stages of growth should be
kept feshy. 1t may be scarcely necessary
to remind any intelligent manager that the
difference between attending to all the com
forts of an animal by cleanliness, good
wholesome food given regularly and in
moderate quantity, and negIecting all these
particulars, is simply the difference be-
tween those in fine healthy condition and
such as are feeble and raw-boned 1t may
be laid down as true, with scarcely an ex-
ception, that the farmer who carries on the
business of fattening at a loss, is one who
neglects at one time and over-feeds at an
other--CO Gent.

The WAY THEY MAKE BUTTER IN FRANCE.-
1t Is well known that cream may be con-
vertcd into butter by simply being buried
in the ground, but it is not generally known
that this mode is in common use in Nor
mandy and some other parts of France.
The process is as follows " The cream is
placed III linen bag of moderate thick
ness, which is carefully secured and placed
in hole in the ground, about foot and
half deep it is then covered and left for
twenty-four or twenty-five hours. When
taken out the cream is very hard, and only
requires beating for short time with a
wooden maIlet after which half glass of
water is thrown upon it, which causes the
buttcr-milk to separate from the butter If
the quantity of cream to be converted into
butter is large, it is left more than twenty
five hours in the ground. In winter, when
the ground is frozen, the operation is per-
formed III a cellar, the bag being well
covered up with sand. Some persons place
the bag containing the cream within a
second bag, in order to prevent the chance
ot any faint from the earth This system
saves labor, and is stated to produce a
larger amount Of butter than churning. and
of excellent quality, and is, moreover, said
never to fail--,loprnal Society of Arts.

THE APPLE-WORM.

This insect is becoming truly formid-
able, and large share of the small crop of
apples Of the present year is spoiled by it's
injuries. We have already noticed the
new contrivance of DR. Trimble for destroy
ing it by means of hay ropes passed round
the trunks of the trees at midsummer I'M
der which these insects pass to the pupa
state, and are then easily killed. This
remedy is no doubt useful as far as it goes,
but we question if it will prove any thing
more than a useful auxiliary. Swine in
sufficient numbers to eat all the fallen fruit
from the moment it begins to drop until it
approaches full maturity, will doubtless
prove very effectual But those who have
large orchards will find it difficult to as
semble swine enough to do the entire work
in complete manner. 1t may be neces-
sary, therefore, to resort to oshcep-the only
objection to which, is their propensity to
bark the trees encircling them with board
boxes, or rolls Of bass wood bark peeled
from saw-logs will be easier and better
than to allow the insects to ruin the crop.
Sheep soon become fond of halfgrown ap-
pies, and eat them readily. No orchard
should be permitted to run to grass until
the trees have attained good size and
even then nothing of larger growth than
the short herbage Of sheep pastures. The
top-drcssing of manure which these animals
will give the orchard will prove another
advantage. An additional scattering of
manure from the yard in autumn will make
up the deficiency of growth occasioned by
a covering Of turf. Go. Gen.
