his experience went, there was no
other remedy worth anything.
We think the facts in the case will
be found to be, that swine being ON
niverous feeders, require considera-
bic variety of substances for their
proper nourishment. This, the Vest
ern Farm journal has heretofore
stated, and also the fact that hogs
fed partially on butchers offal were
generally healthy. So, those hogs
having large range and able to turn
up the soil where the larva of in
sects and other flesh and roots are
found, are as rule healthy. Gorg-
ing them with flesh when attacked,
by loosening and evacuating the
bowels, will of course be beneficial.
We think, however, the true reason
of the prevalence of so-called hog
cholera, will be found in the fact
that, in the great feeding districts of
the west, swine are ted too exclusive
ly on corn or other carbonaceous food.
Plenty of clean and pure water, feed
ing literally while young on nitro
genous food are among the best pre-
servatives. The flesh of hogs so ted
is also superior to swine as usually
fed in the great corn zone of the
vest Western Farm journal.

Old SoWS for Rreedars.

Experienced growers ofswine have
demonstrated by actual trial and
years of observation that breeding by
young sows-that is, those not yet
matured in their own growth-should
be utterly discouraged. No sow
should be permitted to have the care
and nourishing of a litter of pigs
until her own body has obtained its
full proportions. Nature is the same
in its economy, whether manifested
towards the animate or lnanimate.-
The tree or vine should not be per-
mitted to bear much if any fruit I'M
til it has reached a condition that all
its energies are not required to grow
branches and top. A young mother,
If still under her natural develop
ment, will withhold from her litter
much that she might do for them did
she not consume by her own needs
and physical demands a percentage
that should 60 to them. The tenden-
py and result Of permitting this is
dwarfng of the breed. If contin-
ued in the same family for a few gen.
erations, they will fall off from fifty
to one hundred pounds.
An increased age of SOW is no OBJ
lection. Better keep her until she is
three or four years old before breed
ing be permittedI and having first
secured the stock or kind you desire
to grow, keep her as breeder until
she is dozen or even fifteen years
old, as pigs from old sows will aver
age much heavier than those from
young ones.

A Days Flowing,

This is aquestion upon which there
seems to be no definite, settled opin
ion. Some will say that an acre is a
days work for man and team. This
must evidently vary with the pillow,
the quality of blowing, the character
of the soil and the kind of team en-
ployed. Hence the estimate for a
days blowing can only be made APP
proximating detiniteness. Take a
man who makes burrows as crooked
almost as fence worm, and from
two to three inches deep, and some
foot and half wide, leaving unturn-
ed ground between the burrows, and
no man will say that such work
should be compared with blowing
done upin first-rate order, with good
pillow, straight burrows, turning and
tapping well, of proper depth, and
all with good team. The usual DAYS
blowing for this kind of work may
be set down as about al acre at an
average, and such man and team
as worth about $3.50, which is the
estimate for plowlng an acre of
ground.

American Meats in Scotland.

The Pail Mall Gazette says
'The importation of American cat
tie to Glasgow appears to be trade
of growing dimensions. Some in
formation on the subject is given in
the Dundee Advertiser, from which
it appears that the experiment was
first made in 1878, and on the 18th
of August of that year six cattle ar
rived at Glasgow from America
During four succeeding weeks
twenty-five cattle were brought, and
the number gradually increased till
it reached fifty per week in October.
The shipments Of cattle then ceased
until last year, when in June 100 to
$50 were.landed weekly. Thisrate of
importation was continued weekly
until October. Nothing further was
done in 1875, but arrangements were
made for the more vigorous prosecu-
ton of the trade this year. Accord
ingly, the shipment Of cattle was re-
commenced in July, and since then
from 100 to ESQ head have reached
Glasgow every week, exclusive of
deliveries IN London and Liverpool.
Last week l54 cattle were sold in
Glasgow, and brought on an average
f33 each. Never, it is stated, did a
lot reach so much on an average
Dead meat is also imported in large
quantities. The first sale was held
on the 5th Of June, when 100 car
casses of beef and seventy-two of
mutton were disposed of. Since
then about $50 carcasses on the aver
age have been sold weekly. Last
week 2lO carcasses were sold, and
on Wednesday evening there might
have been seen passing through the
streets of Glasgow to the cattle mar
ket the uncommon procession of
thirty-three lorries, each laden with
three tons of butchers meat. The
freight paid for carriage to Glasgow,
Liverpool, and London last week
amounted to $1,000. Altogether,
since the importation began, 1885,
600 pounds Of dead meat have been
sold in Glasgow market, and of these
365, dead and alive, were imported
from America. Cattle killed on
Thursday in New York are sold that
day fortnight in Glasgow, In the
course of q month or so the importa-
ton of live cattle will cease for the
winter, but arrangements are being
made for increasing the. dead meat
supply, and it is expected to be not
less all the winter than 200 carcasses
q week.

forms sort Of cushion under the
skin, giving it soft and mellow
feeling. When it is wanting, the
skin feels hard, and the hand, when
resting on the animal, feels very
much as if resting on the bare bones.
A soft velvety feeling of the skin on
on the rump and ribs, is strong in
dicatidn Of adiposc tissue in abun-
dance, which promotes ready fatting
and rich milk.
For reasons explained under the
description Of the udder, bottle
shaped bag is favorable to richness
of milk.
OF the different breeds for the
dairy it is said, generally, large breeds
are preferred where there is an abun-
dance of food easy of access, as in
the valleys of rivers, the plains of the
west, or the rich rolling pastures of
the kentucky blue grass region
They are also well adapted to the
less severe hills of the Eastern and
Middle States. The smaller breeds
have the preference III all billy re-
gions, and in all situations where
much locomotion is required to pro-
cure food. While adapting the kind
of stock to his location, the dairy
man should not omit to procure ami
mails whose former habits and fare
has been or nearly as possible like
those they are to receive athis hands.
The less change IN the habits of
mich COWS the better. In changing
places, where there is q wide change
in their treatment and mode of liv-
ing, it takes a long time for adult
COWS to become used to their situa-
ton. For this reason, cows which
are brought in to fill up diaries, often
fail for whole season to give their
accustomed mess, and sometimes for
the second and even the third. Ga
this account there is a decided ad-
vantage in raising stock on the farm
with which to replace the failing and
worn out members of the flock.-
The COWS which are raised on the
farm are worth one-quartermore than
those of the same natural capacity
which have to endure a long journey
and q change of food and habits, to
be placed in the dairy,
