FOOD FOR FATTENrNc SuINv

FooD FOR FATTENING SWINE
Deitz's Experimental Farm Journal
says that the practice of feeding the
offal of the bucher's shop to hogs rem.
ders the pork unfit for food and
should be discouraged They should
be fed corn. oats, peas and beans,
with occasional roots, such as pota-
toes, turnips and beets. Perhaps hogs
thrive best when fed on the waste of
the dairy, with cooked peas or bar>
ley, and are known to increase in
weight from two to three pounds
per day. Young pigs thrive best on
skim milk, oats and barley, with o
little ground corn or pea meal.
Hogs require clean and comforta-
BILE quarters in we'll built and wa
ter proof sly, with sleeping room
cut off from the feeding place. The
trough; should be of strong oak boards,
portion partitioned off for fresh wa
ter. In the sleeping apartment
little rye straw should be thrown,
and exchanged for clean from time
to time. When fattening, hogs
should not have an excess Of water,
but just enough to slake their thirst.
Being omniyorous, hogs devour al
most everything that is given them
to eat, and oftentimes disgusting and
improper food is given them. Al
most any place is thought good
enough for q pig, no matter how
damp, dark and filthy it may be-
This is a grave error, however, as
from such filthy dens come diseases
of the skin, swelling of the Joints,
dizziness, loss of appetite, and intes-
tines infested with worms and
parasites.

TOPPING CoRN.-The former prac.
tice OF topping corn is now generally
dlsapprovod by intelligent farmers.
The practice was to cut the stalks as
soon as the kernel of the ear was
making it's effort to mature the corn.
1t has been proved by fair and con-
elusive experiments that by he old
practice the corn was less in weight,
less in quantity and sweetness, and
VIII not come to maturity as soon as
1t does when cutting the stalks is
postponed until after the milky sub
stance ceases to enter the kernels of
the ear. That sweet substance is
matured in the corn blades by the
chemical process, and goes through
another process before it enters the
Kernel. 1t is therefore very unwise
to cut off the tops and the blades at
the time when nature most needs
them.
When the corn is ripe the best
practice is to cut the butts at the
bottom, and thus save the whole for
fodder. The butts, cut in due sea-
son, contain more nutriment than the
tops-and there is no difficulty, with
a little practice, Ia husking the corn
in the barn.

Eawdust for Bedding.

The London Field contains the
following account of an experiment
with this material: "Having used
sawdust as bedding for horses for
length OF time, results of my exper-
fence may not be unacceptable to
some OF your inquiring readers. l
litter the horses on it to the depth of
six or to nine inches, raking off the
damp and soiled surface every morn
ing, and spreading evenly little
fresh, removing the whole only four
times a year. Its advantages apo
pear to be many, of which l will
state few which give it. in my es-
timation its great superiority over
straw. 1t is much cleaner and more
easily arranged, and of course much
cheaper at first cost, making in the
end excellent manure. 1t is peculi-
arly beneficial TO the feet, afording
them cool porous stuffing, a substi-
tute for the soil or earth we always
find in the boots of horses at grass.
and presents the nearest resemblance

Horses bcdded on sawdust are also
freer from dust and stains than when
on ordinary litter (simply because
sawdust is hotter absorbent, per-
haps, and testify their own approval
OF it by frequently rolling and lying
down Tor hours in the day. 1t has
also the recommendation of being un-
eatable, an advantage which all in
charge of horses with the habit of
eating their litter will readily admit"
