WHY THE PRICE OF Hoes Is so
HIGH.-The price of hogs is an inter-
esting topic. Why it has been so high
seems to be an unanswered problem.
Under the influence of several success
sive years of high prices, production
should be stimulated, and the stock in
creased but the fact is the supply of
store hogs is diminished instead of in
creased, and these continued high
prices have actually contributed large.
ly to produce this result, paradoxical as
this may seem. L have observed fol
several years that when prices were
high, farmers have been very anxious
to realize on every hog they could pos
sibly put on tie market, regardless OF
their future supplies, expecting the bot
tom to fall out next season. Result
large proportion of hogs killed do not
dress but little if any over one hundred
pounds. Suppose all these were fed
until they would dress three hundred
the effect upon present supply and fu-
ture store can be easily estimated.
Such course would certainly bring
down prices. This case is working with
full force this present winter, owing tC
the pressure of hard times and the ex
tremely low price of wheat; and 6
greater scarcity than ever is anticipa
ted for another year. believe by feed
ing fewer number, and bringing them
to greater weight, our profits would
be so much increased that we could sci
for much lower price per pound, ant
make as much as we now do, to sa,
nothing of the vastly better qualit.
furnished to the customers.

PICKING FRUIT.-It is easy to lose
money by the careless handling of fruit.
If there is neglect in the picking and
packing, much of the care expended in
raising goes for nothfug. Our most sue
cessful fruit men are those whose fruit
opens in the market in the hest shape.
Autumn varieties should be picked
when fully mature, but before they
show signs of softening, as they should
reach the retailer before they are in eat
ing condition. Use new barrels. Half
barrels are preferred for pears, though
many use crates. In either case the
package must be closed by pressure, SC
that the fruit will not shake. All good
fruit should be hand.picked.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1870-09-30

SAVING TOMATO SEEDs.-The seeds
of the first ripe tomato should be saved
with care, and, when dry, be put in a
paper and stored in safe place in some
dry out building,o or in some room in the
dwelling-house, in which there will be
no fire. There is danger of kiln.drying
such seed in a store.room, so as to de-
stroy their vitality. By selecting the
seed with care, tomatoes may be i'm.
proved in a wonderful manner. We
have variety-only one hill-which
are as solid on the inside as a water.
melon. They are as red as blood, and
as tender and luscious as peach of the
first quality. This great improvement
has been effected by exercising care in
the selection Of the seed from year tc
year.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1870-09-30

How TO PIT PEACHEs.-Almost
every person who attempts to separate
the two halves of peach, after having
run the edge of knife around it, over
the seam of pit, pulls the halves apart
at the stem end. Try separating the
parts by beginning at the end opposite
the stem. 1t may not make any differ
ance in separating "India-rubber cling
stones," but with free stones there is an
advantage. Some Yankee has invent
ed a "pitting knife" having the blade
bent so as to conform to one side of the
pit With this crooked blade the pulp
Is cut clean from the pit

FARMERS COLUMN.
s,enming Fodder for Cattle.

The question "does it ?"-asked
with reference to stcamiug fodder for
cows, Is one which is pressed upon ag-
ricultural editors with more aud more
force every year. When a notable In
crease in the price of hay occurs, it is
all the more important to farmers to
economize in every possible way. n
few facts will guide our readers to de-
cision relative to their particular cases
Ist. Cooked food goes farther than that
which is not cooked. 1t will be within
bounds to say that it will go a quarter
farther. If 100 pounds of dry hay will
produce six gallons of milk, it will pro
duce seven and a half if cooked. I'd.
The extra labor required to cook the
food properly, often costs more than the
gain in the quality of the food is worth.
81. The manure is worth less, in pro.
portion to the amount of food consum-
ed, because the food is more thoroughly
digested, and less is wasted. 4th. Cook
ing always pays, provided it is we'll
done, on sufficiently large scale, and
with economical apparatus. 9TH. The
best application of heat is usually by
means of steam generated close at hand
9th. Steam may be generated economi
cally at distance, and the cooking bC
done at the barn, provided the steam i.
either used for some other purpose neal
where the boiler stands, or very large
quantity is employed for steaming feed
sideration. Actual fires, or narrow es
capes, have occurred on most farm
where cooking by steam has been intro
duced. Care in putting up the appara
tins, and vigilance in its use are the onl.
security against fre.-American Agri
culturist.

A GOOD REMEDY.-We know OF
nothing better for cracks in cows teats,
TO which they are very much subject
when first turned to pasture, than glyc-
crime; one or twoappIieations of which
will heal them up. The teats should be
well washed with suds made of cas-
tile soap-iiself cleansing, healing APP
plication-and the glycerine put on at
night after milking.-Maiae Fdymer.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1870-09-30

GARDEN REFUsE.-Green stuff, such
as cabbage leaves, radish and beet tops,
and the like should not be allowed to
dry. Let them go while fresh to the
pig pen or to the compost heap. Young
weeds-and old ones ought not TO be
found in the garden-should have the
same destination. BY saving all the
refuse of the garden in heap by itself,
or putt ing it in the pig-pen, IA surpris'
Ing accumulation of valuable compost

Cows.-With the cool weather, but
ter-making and packing demand the at:
tention of dairy.women. The cows
should be fed pumpkins, without the
seeds, with some bran or meal to in
crease the flow of milk. They require
salt and abundance of fresh water. A
cow should never go thirsty, nor have
to travel far fer water; it checks the
milk secretion more than most people
are aware
