Rect Crop For Hogs.

But very small percentage of farm
ers grow root crops for food for their
stock. Occasionally patch of carrots
or mangolds are found, but as a general
thing they constitute no part Of the stan
dard farm products. Still all experience
points to them as among the most econ.
omical crops to be fed out upon the farms
and at the same time they constitute a
healthful and nutritive article Of diet.
In recent letter to the Rural World,
w. ]. Neeley, of la Sale county Hi
nois, says that last year he grew five
acres Of mangolds, which yielded about
thirty-one tons to the acre. He says that
hogs are very fond of them, and in the
fall will, when the other food is scarce,
eat them, tops and ALL He thinks one
acre of them will produce as much food
as five acres Of corn. Mr.. j. 5. Tibbits
writes to the lfehigaa Farmer that he
raised sugar beets for his hogs last year.
He is ready to believe them a very valu-
able food for flttening hogs and superior
t-riiy other root efcr sss--Asesk, o. al al
kinds.

Trarp,as SaS

An exchange says: It Is very annoy
ing after having set out a nice lot ofswcct
potatoes or cabbage plants to sec them
cut down one by one by cut worms. We
have tried ashes, lime, SCOT, and, in fact,
everything we have ever heard Of, but
never found anything effectual except by
accident, we found three or four of the
worms one morning gathering under a
small board which had been left by some
children on n sweet potato hill. Acting
upon his hint, We placed some small
pieces of board, large chips, ETC., all
through the patch, and we trapped them
by hundreds. The boards must be lifted
early in the morning, and on very warm
days abont noon. A little care for few
days viii clear these pests out of the
garden. One trial will satisfy any per
son of the merits of this plan.

How 20 ,IiIk a Cow.

Prof Law, Of the Cornell University,
in treating garget, says; Diseases of the
teats viii sometimes induce garget, as
when they have been injured by the reck-
less use Of the teat tubes, or if the milk
is only partly drawn of, in consequence
of open sores, resulting from foot and
mouth disease, cow-pox, or warty growths.
But the retention of milk in the udder is
not the only evil attendant on bad milk
ing. Some mixers seize the root Of the
teat between the thumb and forefnger,
and then drag upon it until it slips out
of their grasp. In this way, teat and
udder are subjected to severe traction for
an indefinite number of times, and in
rude hands are often severely injured.
The proper mode of milking is to take
the teat in entire hand, and after press
ing it upward, that it may be welled fill
ed from the capacious milk-reservoir
above, to compress it first at the base
between the thumb and the forefnger,
then successfully by each three succeed
ing fingers, until completely emptied.
The teat Is at the same time gently
drawn upon, but any severe action is al
together unnecessary and highly injurious.
These remarks on the mode of milking,
and those on milking clean, are of more
moment than many at first suppose; and
in some localities, more cows are ruined
from faults Of this kind than from all
other causes which are specially on the
udder.
