Good and Poor Hogs.

Did our farmer readers ever take a
slate and pencil in an evening and
estimate the true difference between
a good and poor breed of hogs? All
have seen and acknowledge there is
a difference, yet the larger moiety of
farmers do not fully realize the am
pie margin in favor of the best hogs.
The increasing demand for hams and
lard in all parts of the world shows
that hogs that yield largely of these
profitable parts are in demand. The
consequence is there is a range in the
market at this time in St. Louis from
$3.50 to $3.50, and at Chicago from
$500 to $500, showing difference
Of per cent. in favor of the good
hog. Nor is this all. While the i'm
proved breeds of hogs can be made
as easily and with equal food to aver
age at fifteen months old $50 pounds
as the "greaser" hog will IT'S pounds
or little better hog will 225 pounds
If farmer has fifty head Of the lat
ter class to sell now he will get, at
$500 per cwt., $l125. If he has fif-
ty "greasers,' which are too numer-
Gus in the country yet, he will get
500. But if he has fifty of the best
Poland China, Suffolk, Berkshire,
&C., which have cost no more and
which rendered a large amount of
satisfaction, he will receive $245O.
These are figures that can not be dis
puted, and are within the reach of
every farmer who has 100 acres of
land in cultivation. The number,
weight or price is not over-estimated.
And in raising them there is no SO
per day to be paid to harvest hands,
nor that ever-dreaded season called
threshing. We would not urge any
one to go into wild speculation in
hogs. But raise your own pigs and
corn, and then there is no debt to
meet when they are sold. Fifty hogs
is reasonable lot for a small farmer
who proposes to feed all his grain on
his farm. Now let any one look
carefully over these figures, and if we
are wrong give better statement
through these columns. Any man
who raises fifty acres of corn can
have fifty hogs to sell every year, and
still have grain enough for his other
stock.-M0te Register.

Tho Care of Machines and Imple-
ments.

AS a rule, machinery in the hands
of farmers is worse used than thai
belonging to any other class of mer
who employ this aid to their labor
There are many reasons why a farm
machine wears faster than other ma
chinery, but, if it was carefully cared
for as it might be, there is no doubt
that it's average life Of usefulness
would be doubled. One of the rea
sons for rapid wear is that, when il
use farm machines must perforce be
employed in open air, often in fields
remote from shelter. This fact
makes it of the first importance that
they be carefully housed when not in
use.
Very few farmers have shelter suf
ficient for housing the large machines
as cultivators, reapers, harrows, hay
rakes, ETC., without taking them
apart. This, however, is so easily
done that, when once it is understood
it will thereafter seldom be omitted
How to do it has already been de
scribed in the Western Ratrol. We
need, therefore, do no more than sug-
gest, atthis time, that all the bearings
be cleaned, and that every portion OF
the iron work not painted be oiled
with animal oil. If this be done and
they be put away where it is entirely
dry, there will be no trouble the next
season when they are wanted fol
use.
The polished surface of plows, cul'
tivators, hoes, and other bright i'm
plements after being cleaned should
be rubbed with a cloth saturated with
oil, or with what we have found bet
ter, and which will require no clean
ing before putting in the ground,
with lamp black and kerosene. just
thick enough SO that it will spread
easily with a brush. But if this be
used, the surfaces so covered must
not be handled nor be subject to rub
bling, since it rubs off with the least
touch.
Every implement and machine on
the farm should have good coat Of
paint at least once in two years, and
the proper time to lay it on is in the
fall or early winter. The trouble in
years past with farmers has been
that they found it difficult to mix and
temper lead-paints, and the so-called
mineral paints having some of the
colored earths for basis were found
to be nuisance because worthless
OF late years, however, there have
been paints manufactured and put on
sale tempered for use, of any requir
ed shade, having for their bases pure
lead or zinc and oil. Any farmer
may readily cover any ordinary sur
face, as well as the professional paint
er can do it.
Those farmers who have not here
tofore been in the habit of painting
should begin now with their nipple
ments. We advise them to buy q
can of paint, one ordinary brush and
a sash brush, and cover the surfaces
of such tools as may be getting dingy

KEEP FEW BEEs.-Evcry farmer
should at least keep one or two colo
MES of bees so as to have honey oc-
casionally on the table, and there is
no good reason why most farmers
should not keep enough to have hon
ey common article of diet. Mil
lions Of pounds Of honey go to waste
every year, just for want of bees to
gather it. 1t is estimated that one
acre of good buckwheat in blossom
will yield twenty-five pounds of hon
ey per day. When Eastwood is in
blossom the yield is immense and
wherever white clover abounds, there
is sure crop of honey. Nothing
but Ignorance can accoun. for the
great scarcity of Bookkeeping farmers.
Nowadays the women are begin
ming to take this matter in hand
The good wife who posts herself on
the subject need have no great trou-
BILE in obtaining honey enough to
place upon the table whenever COM
pany comes, and some for everyday
use, besides.

Gin all this there may be reason
for national congratulation on both
sides, in the short-sighted point of
view. Our people must be fed and
one must be thankful to all who will
aid us in SO doing. But alas! it will
be an evil day for England when she
will have to depend entirely upon the
foreigner for the staff of life. More
over, such consummation will in
volvc the disappearance of that peas
antry which has ever been the back
bone of the population-the very life
and soul of the armies on which we
have depended for security, power,
and honor among the nations"
