Patching Hogs without Corn.

The present year is n remarkable one
for fattening pork in the West. That
old standby article, corn, i by 10
means plenty this season; and if it is
fed to hogs at present prices ii should be
put In the best condition for making
the most pork possible. tmay not pay
10 grind and cook corn to be fed to hogs
when it is only worth twenty cents per
bushel, but when it sells for eighty or
ninety cents there is little question
about the economy of thus preparing
Il.
But there are other things beside
corn. from which porl, can be made, ~
The New England farmer well knows.
The crop Of potatoes this year is very
abundant, and If pains are taken to boil
aud mash them with n little meal, or
wheat bran or niddlings, very good
pork can be made from very little or 10
corn. The same is true Of beets, carrots
and other esculent roots. Hogs, too,
are very fond Of boiled pumpkins and
squashes and will leave corn to go to
them. Wind-falls of apples and other
fruits can also be converted into pork.
The meal of oats, buck wheat, peas and
beans are all used by our neighbors in
the Dominion for making pork, and
there Is no reason why they may not be
thus rendered available by us. There
has been a good deal of barley raised
this season, and owing to the unfavora-
BILE weather much Of it has become So
Aackened that it will not be bought by
she brewer; rather than sell it at an ex-
eremeiy low price, grind it up and feed
u to the hogs. Its color is 10 objection
for pork making. -Prairie FtlrHsr.

Hunting The Uoodcock.

The Noolco1k Is very eccentric in its

skill J; AMI, second, the reward us success
Is so satisfactory. The young birds fall
comparatively an easy prey, but an Old

direction not ANTICIPATED; and if not
very expert and self posse ssed the
chances are you lose your shot. At an
other time the bird, upon being alarmed,

swiftness of the wind; again lie will

Impure water.

Few Of ~ are eof the deleterious
eflscts Or impure water, or how prons
water Is to imbibe the impurities of the
air. Many of us think If the water is
clear and cool itmust be perfectly pure,
though 1t has stood in close bed room
twenty-four hours;a but this Is fab FROM
true. If pitcher of water is set in a
room for only a few hours, 1t will absorb
nearly Nil the respired and perspired
gases In the room, the air OF which will
have become purer, but the water utter
~ filthy. The colder the water is, the
greater tho capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperatures, a
pail Of water can contain great amount
OF ammonia and carbonic acid gas; and
IT. capacity to absorb these gases is near
y doubled by reducing the water to the
temperature Of ice. When the interior
ofa dwclling-house is freshly painted,
the occupants will be greatly relieved
Ofthe unpleasant odor by placing wide
and shallow vessels containing water
In the rooms. This plainly shows us
that water kept in room over night is
totally unfit for drinking purposes, and
should not be used to gargle in the
throat; also that large pail of water
standing IN room would help to puri-
~ the atmosphere, but should be
thrown away the next morning. 1t al.
20 teaches us the reason that the water
from pump should always be pumped
out In the morning before any Of it is
used. We are lamentably ignorant of I,
many Of the properties of air and water,
two of the most important elements of
nature.

Corn and Hogs

| from one Of our best posted stool
| men who has lately made protractet
! trip through Southern Iowa, and al
over Missouri and Kentucky, we have
| learned some items of interest concern.
ing the corn and hog crops i'm the sec.
tons named. - III Iowa, he says, it Is the
universal testimony Of farmers that corn
will b. as good a yield to the acre as in
the crop Of last year, and that the num-
Der of acres is at least one fourth greater.
1t was well forward at the time Of the
first frost, and was not hurt i'm the least
sThe quality will probably not be quite
so heavy as the old corn, but still it is
good, heavy grain. This Is spoken, for
Southern Iowa, but it can be set down
as tue of the whole State. Its safe to
ceed by several millions OF bushels that
oflS6S. S..
As to hogs, our Informant says Iowa
is full of them, Notwithstanding the
high price of pork last fall and winter
took to market great numbers of those
usually kept for stock. The farmers,
wisely anticipated good market, made
especial endeavors to supply the de-
ticiency by more extensive, breeding.
