Hoes WANT SULPuuR-W Whether
hogs require sulphur as an esscnsial
to their health, or whether it is
sought by them as condment, may
not be known for certainty. But
one thing is sure, they devour it with
greed whenever it is to be found. 1t
is for this puaposc, proba ", that
they eat large quantities OF soft coal,
which contains q large amount of
sulphur. Perhaps this the most eco
nomical method of supplying hogs
with sulphur during the winter, when
they require a good deal Of carbon.
But in the summer, it is better to
feed it to them in substances which
contain less carbon, on account of
their producing less heat. Mustard
is one of the best things for this pur-
pose, and on that account some of it
should be sown in every pasture in
to which hogs are turned. II hogs
are kept up, or are in small yards, t
is we'll to supply them with the wild
mustard that grows in the fields or
highways, or to cultivate some Of the
better varieties for them. They will
eat its leaves, flowers seeds and
stalks.

1t is q very old process, and should
be no mans exclusive patent or

performed about July 1st
The principle is to obstruct the
sap, and cause it to develop fruit buds
instead Of wood.
OF course these fruit buds are sub

to late spring frosts like ary others
