Steaming Food for Hogs.


mer: "In any arrangement contemplating
winter use, the cooking room must have
ready access to the root cellar as we'll as
the corn crib, water tank or cistern, wood
shed and hog pens, in order to involve the
least labor of cooking as we'll as feeding.
It must be so constructed as to keep the
temperature above the freezing point; for
the reason that unconsumed cooked food
ought not to be fed in frozen condition,
and for the additional reason that corn in
the ear should be soaked thirty or more
hours in water as preliminary to the pro-
cess Of cooking By steam. This water soak
ing in the winter would have to be done in
the cooking room. In summer it should
not, If less convenient to feed for the rea-
son the farmer frequently wants to alternate
soaked corn with cooked roots or cooked
corn, as he may deem PROPER, from such
facts as he may encounter in the whole or
any part of his pisgery.
"For economising heat, the steaming
pan should be nine or ten feet loug-not
more than five inches deep, and the width
to correspond with ordinary sheet iron, of
which the bottom is made, which bottom
is made to turn up over the edges of the
side, and is secured by closely driven three
penny nails or eighteen-ounce tacks. The
sides of the pan should be of two.iuch hard
maple plank, dovetailed together in white
lead at the corners, and covered with lid
Of inch-pine boards, matched and battened
wish wood screws.
"The lid should have two.inch hole
for steam pipe and funnel hole through
which to fill the pan with water. This
steaming pan must be set in an arch of
brick or stone, with such chimney and
draught as to secure the best conditions to
combustion and best application of heat to
its bottom. The cooking box can be made
Of any size or material you may desire, but
should be steam tight; any small leaks
may be readily stopped with clay mortar
from an ordinary mason trowel. You can
give the cooking box q position above, or
at the side Of pan steaming, as may best
accord with general convenience.
at, however, you introduce your steam
at the side of your cooking box, you will
have to use false bottom in the box so as
to allow the steam to pass under the box
to be cooked.
"You can have your mess box seated
upon railroad trucks, to run upon wooden
rails from your steaming box to your hog
yard, with such appliances of force as may
be adapted to the grade betyeen the two
points.
"You can arrange to throw your steam
pipe into the "scalding box," or tub. in
butcheriug' and have such other slaugh-
tering couveniences as you need attached
to your cooking room.
Sin cooking potatoes for hogs, use one
third sugar beets, sweet turrips, sweet
pumpkins or Hubbard squash, so as to
have the sugar as we'll as the starch. This
though not indispensable is better than po-
tatoes alone, but either is a much better
food for hogs in warm weather than dry
corn, food that never should be given to
hogs, if water can be had to soak it.

COW lying among the brush. Thinking she
was asleep, they went up to start her home /:

and then Scizing the second, caught his
head in his mouth and bit it entirely off.

sumed his position by the body of the dead
cow. The man who was first attacked did
not die immediately, but had strength
enough left to drag himself a short distance
from the spot.
n the meantime, the man left at the
camp having prepared breakfast, went out
10 call up the companions. Finding their
trail, h. followed it uutil he saw the cow
wing in the bushes, and thinking he would
drive her home, he approached the spot,
when the bear, sprin2Ing upon him, ill.,
stantly killed him, manglinS him in the
most horrible manner. The surviving vic
tim. who was lying in the bush at a short
distance from the scene, witnessed his APP.

wounded that he was unable to give any
warning. The bodies were found a short
time aiterward and conveyed TO the camp,
where the survivor died during the ensuing
night. after relating the affair as we have
stated above. The bear is the same one
which has been in that vicinity for the last
ten years. it being known from its peculiar
track, having lost three of the toes from one
of its feet.
