Food for Young Pigs.

The value of skinned milk from the dairy
for feeding young pigs, has hardly been esti-
mated high enough by the majority of farm
ers. Corn meal is selling now at only about
cent and third per pound. We have not
found it worth that. and yet, if we should sell
all our milk and buy meal instead, it is doubt
full II the pigs would make as much pork for
the money as if a portion of the milk had
been retained. A dollars worth of meal, at
the above price, may feed pig longer time
than the milk would have done, and yet it
does not follow that the meal is, on the whole,
the cheapest or best food.
Cows milk, after most OF the cream has
been removed, seems 10 come very near sup
plying the pig with the best substitute for its
natural food, while corn meal, although rich
in fat and heat, is so concentrated and so
wanting in elements which are especially
needed by very young or growing animals,
that it is worth really less than many would
suppose. Corn meal, besides being wanting
in the elimen.s of growth, packs and becomes
hard and indigestible in the stomachs of
young animals, unless it is mixed with milk,
bran or some other less concentrated food,
that may act as diyider in keeping the par
ticles separate, so that the fluids of the stom-
ach can come in contact with all parts of it at
once.
1t requires but moments consideration 10
see that solid ball of corn meal in the stom-
ach Of a young pig or other animal, cannot be
acted upon by the gastric juice, except at The

To My Naples.
BY WILLIAM c. RICHARDS.

Your time is come my tall and straight imbed ma
Whose boles the wrathful winds have blenched, not
We've DONE at last with fross and SHOWS as staples
Or hailed them for while to Punishment
This is your hour; ye shall no more be fouted
With leafess honors by the Wanting spruce
Whose verdant arms old Winters legions routed,
While all your blazoned banners drifted loose.
While emerald tints are deepening in the brake;
And odots, resinous no more. but musky,
Steal from the beds where the young violets wake.
mark your slender twigs against the azure
GROW bossy with the rounding of their gems,
And soon soft leaves will veil each fine embrasure,
Ana crown your ample brows with diadems.
For every blast that through the spruce went Groom
A gentle breeze your tender breasts shall stir;
Your grateful shade shall WOO the lovers incoming,
When he will read sweet parallels to her
So sweet the midday silence shall be golden
q OF thrush and oriole, in the morn that sing;
Less dear their notes than those both and olden
Which Love syoung ecstasies to youBg hearts bring
And So my naples, tall and verdure-crested,
fe shall fling back the foutings of the spruce,
TIL the bright Ministries in your bosoms nested
With happy even-songs to strife give truce.
Hove you all, trees, that round my garden
Stand sentries 'twixt me and the common air.
Nor less the spruce than maple count warden,
To shut without the Ill, within the fair.
Graud winter trees that draw your friney curtain
To shield my cottage idols from the snow,
sing in strains nor grudging nor uncertain
Your sombre vigilance while tempests blow.
And il praise you, naples, in my rhyming,
And brush the spruce's light reproach away,
bid you heed how gifts depend on timing,
And tees, like all our treasures, have their day.

Houdau Hens.

In my opinion, the Houdan is the best Of
all for actual profit; now for the proof As
socn as they are out of the egg and dry, they
are ready to run with the hen; and almost
any kind of soft food will do for them. They
do not want to be fed with silver spoon, OF
nursed like baby and be fed on pap. re.
peat, almost any kind of soft food will do fol-
them, and they will thrive well, being very
haroy. They feather and mature quickly,
for l have had them to lay at 81 months old,
with ordinary care, while a mongrel Matched
at the same time, with the same feed and
care did not lay till some six weeks later, and
such eggsl why, the great big Brahmas' eggs
don't begin with them. / think thev 1.-THE
Houdan1 can beat anything in the poultry
line for weight OF eggs. They are good win
ter layers with ordinary care, and to keep
any hens laying in winter they must have
care. Most of us can recollect what bad
winter. we had last year, ice and snow on the
ground for about four months. I recollect
my pets were not out of their coops for weeks
at time. but they laid faithfully right along,
and had chickens Matched on the 22d Of
January, ard about thirty more of the same
kind on the Goth of February. 1 know some
breeders will differ with me about their being
good winter layers, but have Tried them,
now, this is the third year.
NOW, about the meat part, which consider
cannot be beat for flavor, except in the Dor
king. Neither can they be beaten much in
making flesh. I exhibited cockerel seven
months old that weighed seven pounds, and
have had them weigh twelve pounds to the
pair at six months old. recollect Brahma
fancier coming to look at them he would not
believe me about their weight until they were
put OF the scales. And think there is more
actual meat on Houdan than almost any
other kind OF fowl of the same weight. Well
do ] recollect the first one killed. After
had plucked it, handed it over to my wife
to draw. She called my attention to it, as
she thought something allied it, as she re-
marked, "it has not got much more than half
the insides of other fowls"
have been in the poultry business from
boyhood up to the present time, am now
thirty-six years old and have had experience
In almost all kinds, but have settled down on
the Houdans as being the most proftabl of
them all. rs

Ianuring i'm the Hill,

Abiding to the old and almost universal
custom of manuring in the hill, the Massa-
chusetts Ploughman says that farmers of the
early days did not stop to study the effect Of
shovel full of manure in hill of corn. if so
he would have found that the minute fibrous
roots of the plant soon pushed out beyond the
mass of the coarse manure in the bill, and
spread around through the soil to consider
able distance from the main stalks. Now we
know that the minute diffusion of fertilizing
substances throughout the soil promotes the
continued growth; that after the first early
start of the plant, after the fbrous roots have
had time to extend, coarse manures placed in
bulk in the hill are less effective than they
would be if more generally mixed in with the
surrounding soil. Hence the Ploughma an
believes in applying farm manures broad least
near the surface, finely pulverizing and in
cooperating them as much with the soil as
possible, and using some good concentrated
fertilizer in the hill to give vigorous start to
the plant. In this kind of hill manuring all
good farmers will also be inclined to believe.

A Word of Caution,

In an article on the question of plant food
and the use of special "formula fertilizers"
which has taken up considerable space in the
agricultural journals of late, the Scientific
Farmer gives little plain advice which all
would do well to heed. 1t says: "We would
caution farmers not to rush heedlessy and
enthusiastically into large expenditure in this
direction, but rather to feel their way by the
trial of few acres only, this year, conform
guidance, looking forward to greater profits
another year, with larger area of crops,
should the present years experience be salts.

outside. Digestion, in such case, must go
on like the melting of cube of ice, and as
the stomach was not arranged for doing its
work in that way, it breaks down after short
time. Indigestion follows such feeding, and
as consequence, the food that is taken in is
not fully utilized, and of course, does not
give an ammount of growth corresponding
with its nutritive value when properly pre-
pared or judicously mingled with other food
that is less concentrated.
Farmers know that milk is good for pigs.
They know, too, that skinned milk is a
waste product of the dairy, and unless fed to
animals, would generally be wasted. Ihey
feed the mix because they happen to have it,
but would not buy it instead OF corn meal.
We believe that, at cent quart. 1t would
be cheap food to buy to mix with meal for
feeding to pigs for the first few weeks after
weaving. Many pigs have been spoiled by
being confined to corn meal diet while young.
In feeding young pigs or calves, groacth and
not fat should be the object sought. -Ne,u

Bee Notes.
In most locations. bees will be placed upon
their summer stands this month. 1t is desir-
able, Though not essentially, that each hive
occupy the stand it did last season Where
possible, set out those farthest from each
other at the same time, as in the confusion
of the first flight they are more likely to mix,
and in returning to draw largely to one hive.
Choose still day, and at least as warm as
6Odeg. Towards evening, after the bees be-
come quiet, close all ventilation, except at
the lower entrance, and that partially, if
large, When movable frames are used, all
combs should be removed, except those oc-
cupied by the bees. If hanging frames are
used close fittino division board shOuld he
put in. Moderate feeding is desirable to slim
ulate breeding. If honey is abundant in the
hive, the Gaping may be broken, when the
bees will remove the honey to the center of
the hive with desired effect. Rye-meal should
be placed where the bees may have access to
it from the very first, and continue the supply
until it is refused; using dishes Of size cor
responding to the number of colonies. The
amount of meal taken by the bees will de-
pend upon the supply of pollen.-Bee Editor,
