Summer Care of Hogs.

Many farmers seem to think that fall is
the only time in which pork can be made
protiably. In the winter they try to find
out how small an amount of food will
sustain life in their pigs. During the
spring they experiment in the same direc-
ton. In the summer they turn their pigs
out to grass in dry pasture, allowing
them to shirk for themselves, or else shut
them up in tight pen and feed them as
small an amount OF dry corn as is con-
sistent with their keeping alive. During
three-tourths OF the year hogs are kept on
short allowance, and, OF course, their
gain is very small,
About the time corn is harvested
farmers commence to rush things. Hogs
must now be tattened in "A hurry. Now
they receive about as many ears as they
have before received grains. They are
stuffed like sausage till their skins will
hold no more. They are fed so much that
they cannot digest half of il. The wonder
is that more of them do not die of cholera.
They grunt from fullness now as a little
while before they squealed from empti-
ness. From Il hungry, halfstarved crea.
ture the hog passes to u gourmand, The
farmer who was stingy of his corn before
is now prodigal of il. He is impatient TO
see the machine in motion that changes IL
into pork. He wishes it would work
faster.
This method of doing things is all
wrong. 1t is contrary to nature, reason
and economy, TO produce pork 10 the
best advantage, hogs should be kept
growing all the year. During no time in
the season can pork be made so cheap as
in summer, Glover is cheaper material

Raking the Common.

A pleasant scene was recently presented
in the quaint old town of Guildford,
Conn. 1t had been arranged that the
young ladies of the town should meet on
its common for the purpose of clearing
its surface of the dead leaves, etc, of the
past year. AT eight a. m, at the ring
ing OF the church bells, about 175 young
ladies came together in suitable attire for
the work. They wore on their heads i'm
mense splinter hats tied down with blue
ribbon, while their dresses were in
various colors to suit the taste of the
wearer. The handles of their rakes were
tied with red, white and blue, and with
these in their hands they made a most
grotesque but pleasing appearance as
they "raked together" on that charming
" old green" 1t was decreed by these
young maidens that no one of the other
sex should trespass on their ground. A
small fine was the penalty. One daring g
spirit, in attempting to run the gauntlet,
was driven from the field. When the
clock struck twelve, our young ladies
marched in procession to Congress Hall
to partake of a well-earned lunch True
to the instincts of a century since, no
music was tolerated but that of drum
and fife. The tune to which they marched
was that of "The Girl Left Behind
Me-" AT two p. m. Centennial oak'
was planted on the green, with suitable

to make It from than corn. Il grows with.
out cultivation or care. Hogs will eat il
where 1t grows, which saves the labor of
harvesting. 1t is common thing for
early pigs to gain pound day on clover
alone. There is not so cheap or easy way
to make pork as this. The addition of
one pound of soaked corn to their grass
food will cause a larger growth though
too much corn must not be given, for the
reason that they would neglect to eat
clover.
At all times of the year hogs should be
kept in good, growing condition. They
should never know hunger or be allowed
to run down. Their gain should be steady
from the time they are weaned till they
are slaughtered. During summer they
should have the run of good clover pas
ture, and receive grain in addition accord
ing to the state of the feed. They should
have shade, and If there are no trees to fur
nish it, sheds should be constructed. They
should have pure water in abundance. II
practicable, they should have place
where they can wade in clear water,
though bathing advantages are to be
classed as luXuries rather than as neccssi.
ties.
There is no doubt of the fact that farm
CTS 40 not SuI1Clently consider the al
vantage of change of food for hogs.
Next to man the hog eats the greatest
variety of articles of food. 1t delights in
flesh, grass, grain ane ,ruit, and when at
liberty to choose will devour them all at a
meal Hogs will always be more healthy
and gain better when they have variety
of food. In the East apples, potatoes,
roots and sometimes fish are fed to hogs,
ana il is well known that diseases peculiar
to hogs are fewer there than in the West,
where they receive little but corn to eat.
Ii is said that the best-tlavored pork in the
world is found In Germany, where great
variety of food is fed to hogs.
Hogs at all ages are fond of food that
contains sulphur 1t is doubtless for the
sulphur it contains that hogs eat soft coal,
and they appear to thrive on it. They are
also very fond of mustard, which contains
a good deal of sulphur. As this plant is
very easily raised, producing as much
feed as almost any plant that grows, there
would seem to be economy in raising it
for hogs. 1t may be said that it is more
economical to buy the sulphur in con-
ceDtrated form, but it should be remem-
bered that pure sulphur is not in a form
to be readily taken up by the system,
while that contained in mustard and other
plants is readily assimilated.-Rurdl Ne1e

Boys, Do Something.

WE want to say just word to the boys
of the farm. We have no sermon to de
liver, no leCture-just bare suggestion
and we hope every farmers boy will heed
it. Make a beginning for yourselves this
Centennial year. The time will finally
come when you must look to your own
eXertions for living. 1t is your wisest
course to fit yourselves early for the bat.
tie of life. Solicit from your father the
right to plant and cultivate some certain
plot of ground, be it ever so small, the
product from which shall be your own.
Prepare it most thoroughly, plant it with
care, keep it clean of weeds harvest the
crop and sell il, putting the proceeds at a
fair rate of interest so that when you "be-
come of age" you will be able to begin
your business career as independent, we'll
to-do citizens. Suppose you are ten, or
twelve, or fourteen years of age. Just sit
down and figure up what the mere triile
you may earn for yourselves this year, AT
compound interest, will amount to by the
time you are twenty-one years old! Then
If you add to it each year, in proportion
to your efficiency as farmers, you will be
astOnished at the result. Do not fear that
your parents will not second your every
effort. Nothing will please them so much
as to realize that you are really young
farmer, with great hopes of the future and
great ambition to excel. They know
that the farm house is the real home of
happiness and comfort, if within it are
found contentment and high aspirations.
The time has fully come when the lords
of the soil are the lords of the country.
With careful lives, with good education,
with even fair ability, the farm boy may
hold any and all positions, when in man
hoods prime, and it is to him that the
Nation, in these days of corruption, must
look for true manhood and true patriot
ism. The beginning of all this future
brilliant career is dependent upon early
selt-eXertiOn more than upon all other
things. Whether your parents are rich
or poor, does not NATTER it is individual
ity that wins. Strive to have and to be
something, while the bright sun of youth

A Good Way to EXterminate Quack
Grass.

THERE are many fields and sometimes
entire farms that are overrun with quack.
They are usually those that are poorly
cultivated and have considerable fertility,
as quack will not thrive in a poor soil,
Such land in general does not pay; yet it
has advantages of a first order were they
but known. The advantages are the fer
tility of the quack and the mellow condi.
ton of the soil resulting from the action
of its roots, with which the soil, if rich
one, is well stocked. There are not less
than fifty and from that to a hundred
loads of these roots to the acre. The one
need is to fallow such land as this. Plow
early in the season, Just before the grass
starts; plow pretty deeply so as to get
some mellow ground from below. This
will be good covering, and the plant
will be longer in working up through; but
do not let it show above the ground.
Plow just before the time. And so con
tinue during the season. 1t will require
three or four plOwings according to
whether the season is wet or dry. Har-
rowing between the plowings will be a
benefit. The object in all this is to keep
the quack from seeing the sun. 1t this is
done it will kill it. One season, flanked
by two winters, will do it, and effectually: /:
and there will be such a soil as it will de-
light the eye to look at, mellow, rich, the
roots rOtted and their substance incorpo.
rated with the soil; this is just the sort of
soil in which to put wheat in the fall or
to pass it over for spring grain. The
crops now will be doubled, and if the land
was badly cultivated before there will be
three bushels to one. The seed grown is
Clean for not only the quack has been de-
stroyed, but all other foul stuff with it,
IL is simple operation, but it wants to
be made careful one; the land wants to
be all, every inch of it, turned down, and
every time it is plowed. Especial care
must be taken when working around
stones and stumps or any impediments,
so that no green thing thing is permitted
in the whole field to appear. One sea

ing taken that no quack seed is sown.-

The DOOrkeeper's Letter.

The letter of the Doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives TO a friend in
his own State, which we rrint in another
column, is private one, and its publica-
ton, doubtless, is due TO some reprehen-
sible violation of confidence. Inasmuch,
however, as it has found its way into
print, and as we have ascertained by in
quiries in Washington that it is genuine,
we feel justified in copying it because of
the insight which it gives into the char
acter of an important public officer. We
say important, for the Doorkeepcr of the
House of Representatives has duties which
his name does not imply. He, in the first
place, gets salary of $2,5 0 year.
which ought TO render it possible to Sc
cure for the place man who at least
knows how to spell correctly. 1t is his
duty to make, before the meeting of each
Congress, a roll of the Representatives
elect when the Clerk and Sergeant-at-
Arms are absent or unable to perform that
service. During the recess the Door
keeper is in charge of the apartments of
the House of Representatives, and to him
is entrusted the business of providing fuel
and lights for the ensuing session. and
he is required to make to Congress a full
report Of all the public property in his
charge. When it is remembered that this
officer has also large number Of desira-
Bile places at his disposal (130, he says in
his letter., and that his opportunity of
serving persons who are interested in leg
islation is great, the necessity of putting
an honest, capable and intelligent man in
the position becomes apparent.
Mr.. Fitzhugh's letter shows that the
majority of the present House of Repre-
sentatives have not been more successful
in finding doorkeeper than they have
been in choosing a journal clerk and
clerks for the Ways and Means and
the Military Committees.-N. Y. Ereaing
