q right to expects handsome reduction in

the party has had to depend on home

FATTENING HOGS.

The quickest and most economical
way of fattening hogs is to have a
lot of ground set apart expressly for
the purpose-the size to correspond,
of course,to the number of hogs-and
plant the same, consecutively,in corn,
taking care, at the proper time, to
cut the tops and pull the blades
Then about the first of November
turn in your fattening hoges to help
themselves. By this means all the
time and labor of pulling, shocking,
hauling the corn, building pens and
feeding your hogs are saved, and by
turning your stock hogs matter your
fattening hogs are disposed of, not
grain of the corn will be lost, and
the droppings of the hogs improve the
land.

SUB-SOIL FLOWING.

A. L. F., Summerset county, Me-,
asks our opinion concerning the
practice of subsoil blowing. 1t is to
be recommended where the underly'
ing soil is. equal to that on the sur
face. In the case of a strong, deep,
loamy soil, that for years has been
plowed but three or four inches in
depth, large number of roots will
be found two feet or more deep;
these with a portion of the salts con-
tanned in the lower soil can advantage
ously be brought to the surface.
Where the upper layer of soil has be-
come filed with vegetable matter, then
a mixture of few inches of the un-
dersoil, whether clay or loan of a
sandy or clayey nature, will have a
beneficial effect. On the other hand
if you propose to subsoil in a location
where there is only sand or gravel
! to bring to the surface, then you will
simply make the poor exchange of a
few inches of good soil and fairly
productive, for worthless and en-
tirely barren soil. We have in mind
an amateur farmer who, having read
of the wonderful effects of subsoiling,
determined to test its merits and
plowed under a thin sod, bringing to
the surface only gravel. After the job
was completed his field appeared like
a new graveled road, though as an
agricultural experiment it was fail
ure. The soil, though thin, which
he had turned under had taken ages
to accumulate, and had produced fair
crops of corn and barley. BY judici-
Gus management his land in it's orr
ginal condition would have produced
fair crop of grass. The material
now on the surface, worthless for pres
ent crops, would require hundreds of
cords of manure to fertilize. At the
outset it would neither produce
buckwheat nor clover. BY first APP
plying manure in liberal quantities,
then green manuring would aid in
supplying the needed elements of a
fertile soil. Judgment is necessary
in every farm operation. No set Of
unvarying rules will give remunera-
tive results. Before attempting sub
! soiling or even very deep blowing
make sure that the soil below the
surface is worth bringing up. In
many cases, it would be better il
it were possible, to sink the subsoil
still deeper, instead of bringing il
any nearer the surface. Ci.g

CUTTING POTATOES TO ONE EYE.

A Kentucky correspondent gives a
good account of cutting seed potatoes
to one eye, which leads me to give a
little experience that | had last sea-
son. had one potato, a Beauty of
Hebron, weighing two ounces, and
wishing to raise as many as L could
from it, l cut it to single eyes, some
of which were as small as grains of
corn, the result was that | harvested
Is pounds of potatoes, which was an
increase of nearly 1870 fold. However
as a general thing, am not in favor
Of cutting seed potatoes as fine as
many do.
