AROUND THE Farm.
FEEDING CLOVER.

Prot. w. j. Besl, OF the Michigan Ag
riculturai College, says, In the DctrOt
Tribune, that alt is usually more profits
bic to ieed off crop OF clover, and ploS
under the stubble, than to pillow under
tops aud all The stubble and roots
have been found to do nearly as much
good "a the whole crop. If sown with
oats, tue clover will not usually be Of
much use To turn under the first year
If sown without any grass seeds, use
six TO ten quarts of seed 10 the acre"
FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.
The prevalent idea that pigs should be
kept constantly growing is good one.
1t is not best TO stuff pigs rs full! as they
can hold, and especially those just
weaned. Corn is altogether too difficult
to digest for young pigs, and at most
sCouid only be given In small proper
lions. A great deal better plan is 20
iced milk, ard this sparingIy, adding
wheat bran sca!dcd tpigs like warm slopG
his can be increased as The pigs be
come accustomed TO the change OF diet.
The wheat bran and milk supply the
phosphates which build up che pigs
lran.u, whI,c little corn will supply toe
at forming material. AT no time should
p,gs be starved or sIinted; but it Is im-
portrait to remem Der that they may be
dwar.ed by feeding too much ana too
rich lood, and WITH Us bad results as
feeding too little. Care is needed in
teeding any kind of young animals, and
he pig being especially pigish in his
greed, is particularly liable to injury
from eating too heartily. BoliVeT, If
you have airy pigs that are scaly now,
give three small tessponfu!ls of sulphur
to each pig,::in little milk, Cor about two
weeks; keep them sheltered. Let US

WATER FOR cows.
Cows, to yield the best returns, should
always have ready access to good water.
Thi. is almost indispensable, for 1t Is
next to impossible to make good butter
without an abundant supply OF pure
ws,er. Those having pastures when
ne water tails in dry time, have prob
,tly observed how rapidly their COWS
shrink their milk when wa,eris scarce
nd thes3 animals do not get their usual
supply. Inducing to drink large qusn-
,tIts OF wster will increase the how OF
mllk certainly, but TO what extent the
quantity OF mix may be increased with
NJ. ri Irv u the quality, by Inducing
the animal to take an abundant supply
OF hQud, we are not prepared to say.
But we are satisfied that milk OF good
guilty may be increased by this method.
GETTING or WITH WORK.

work, to lun it over in the mind vel! be-
forehand. Did you ever rise In the

No mstter what you are going to do, you
can do it better by thinking well over it
beforehand.
