Pigs on Grain Farms.

On farms where much grain is grown and
only a few COWS are kept, it is usually not
profitable to keep large stock of pigs. The
common mistake made, however, is not in
keeping too maDy-but in not feeding them
literally. AS rule, the pigs are kept on
short allowance until they shut up to
fatten, after the corn is ripe, although there
can be no doubt that bushel Of corn fed to
pigs while on clover during the summer, will
produce double or treble as much pork as
bushel of new corn fed in cool weather in The
autumn when the pigs have nothing but
corn A few fall pigs can be kept in the
yards during the winter, to good advantage
especially If the cattle are fed grain. But it
is great mistake to stint young pigs through
the winter, although it must be confessed
that 1t is very common one. The sows and
any spring pigs that may be wintered over,
will pick up the lions share Of the scattered
grain and other food in the yards and while
it is often inconvenient to separate the young
pigs from the older ones, yet it is not diff
cult matter to make a hole in one of the sides
of the pens that will admit the young pigs
through and exclude the large ones-and in
this way the young pigs can be fed more and
better food. This is a very important point.
] be young pigs should be kept growing rap
idly through the winter and spring months.
They should be in q condition that most
farmers would pronounce =" too fat" Young,
well bred pigs, so wintered, can be summered
in a clover pasture at comparatively little
coet-and it is astonishing how fast they

MULCHISG BEARING FRUIT TREEs-There
is no doubt now by our most intelligent hor-
tieulturlsts about the practical advantages TO
be gained by mulching the surface of the or
chard and fruit garden This should be more
generally practiced in fruit-producing dis
tricts, for It is the least expensive and most
effective method of protecting the fruit trees
against the bad results often following the
frequent and sudden changes Of temperature
during the summer and fall months. when
the surface of the ground is left eX posed to the
direct rays of the sun. Again, when the
mulch is put two or three inches in thickness
the surface soil is constantly moist and loose,
even when no rain falls for term Of several
weeks, and the trees or fruit receive no check
for want of moisture and food under such
circumstances.
Ny methoSp IS to cultivate the spaces be-
tween the rows of trees in the orchard. using
a small one horse plough and cultivator, run
ming not more than two inches deep, during
the early part of the season. From the first
of July / have put on a heavy coating of salt
hay covering the surface as far as the branches
extend. After this there is no more trouble
with weeds and grass. There may few
scattered ones start up, but they are easily
destroyed.
Every fruit grower knows that two or three
weeks before the time of gathering the main
crop of fruit. fine specimens are constantly
falling off, or blowing off by strong winds.
W hen the ground is mulched the majority of
species are not bruised or injured for sale.
This saving alone, consider, pays me for the
trouble of mulching the orchard.
There is only one serious drawback to the
applications of mulch that is, the danger of
the hay or straw getting on fire when rem
dered dry by continual warm weItber.-P.

WILL FARMING PAY.-We see this heading
in our agricultural and other journals all
over the country, with all kinds of answers,
some of which are preposterous. The truth
is, farming is like any other business, and
will pay just IN proportion as it is well and
properly followed. A poor, lazy. an ig
norant, neglected. or an incorporate farmer
will find the business to "pay" badly
enough, and if he makes both ends meet at
the end of the year he will be lucky. But
if he follows the business carefully, energet-
ically and intelligently, there is none that
will pay more literally, or at least more
certainly. We look upon farming the
most sure, inviting and independent pursuit
that exists. No man qualified for 1t ever
" fails - or becomes poor. On the contrary
he is annually becoming richer, and his fami-
ly more comfortable and happy. Assurecly
farming will pay all who know how TO con-
duct it.-Ger Telegraph.

A hummer Day.

Sunshine over the meadow lands,
Kissing the crimson clover
And sunshine haunting the lily cups
That the yellow bees hung over
And sunshine over hazy hills
And over the dimplng river,
And wished that the sun and the sumner day
Might shine and last forever.
We walked down by the meadow path
The broad highway forsaking.
For the quiet Of that lovely spot
Seemed better for our love making.
And was silent and she was shy,
AS we walked down through the clover;
But we thought it the sweetest summer day
That ever the sun shone over
We heard the birds in the waving grass
AS they twittered to each other
About the nests they had hidden away
And the COO of each glad bird mother
And we thought we walked that summer day
Through the clover blooms together,
That at last the world was in perfect tune.
In the glad, bright summer weather.
1 cannot tell what said 10 her,
AS we walked knee deep in clover;
But know that the robins merriIy sang
Their sweetest of sweet songs over,
And down in my heart loves own bird sang
song that was glsdder, sweeter,
And its echo Joined with the worlds sweet hymn,
And made the day completer.
And when we came up the meadow path,
Our hearts sang over and over:
80, sweet, glad day for blossom and bird,
And for every blythe young loverln
And yet know not the words she said,
Or whether she spoke at all;
- Of all sweet days, that summer day
Axnt as the best OF all.

BROKEN BONES N FOwLs.-From one cause
or another, valuable chickens or older fowls
often break the bones of their legs. If they
can be set and held in position. they will
unite without much difficulty. The struggles
Of the fowl to walk, and the repeated falls it
gets, almost surely distort the limb so that
it is rarely possible TO make the operation
really successful. In my own experience,
set the leg Of Black Spanish cockerel, bro
ken below the spur-a compound fracture
and though it healed with twist in it, the
bird has been and is a serviceable stock
fowl. A noble Brahma cockerel broke his
leg in fight. The fracture was about the
middle of the Hbia (drumstick } 1t united
in two weeks, during which time the leg was
bound up, the foot being bound to the thigh
and served as a natural splint, the whole
bandaged and bound to the body. 1t seemed
as if there could be no motion in it. Never
theless, on unbandaging there was a shock
ing twist, and the bird was thought fit only
for the pot, but he afterward improved and
became servicea ble.-Er.

seed, fit your ground, Plant it well, then let
the sun and rain mature the crop. Why
trouble yourself to cultivate and care for the
growing corn Perhaps they may say, expe-
rience teaches them that there is more in cul-
tivating and caring for the crop than putting
it in. Well, just SO it is with the young
fruit trees. Have you set an orchard of
young trees either last fall or this spring
Let me tell you that your work is but half
done. Don't wait another week, if you have
not done it, but see to it that they are mulched
Immediately. By mulching | mean the plac-
ing from two to four bushels of coarse manure
around each tree, directly on the surface.
Don't let it quite touch the body of the tree,
but place it in a circle extending from two to
three feet all around the stem. If you have
not the manure, straw, leaves or even muck
will answer. If your tree has been well set
this will almost insure its life, and good
healthy growth. Without this mulch it may
live, but is almost as likely to die.
