FATTENING HOGS.
See that your hogs have dry, Iomfort-
able sleeping apartments, and when
called up from the woods that they are
regularly fed with slop and nbal, and
roots carefully administered, so bat they
shall have all they need without allow
ing them to waste their food, tie, will
speedily grow fat. This fattenipg pro-
cess, moreover, should be pushed for
ward before the hard weather sets, be-
cause as the cold strengthens more food
is required 70 keep up warmth in the
system, and Ito create flesh and fat. Look
also that the the hog pens are Uttered
with straw and corn-stalks, leaves, or

daily-making occasional changsa in Ehe
kind of food SO that it shall not pan upon
the appetite. Cut straw. fodder and hay
should be mixed occasionally with roots
and sprinklng of meal, and in this
manner the cows will be kept well up to
their milk through the winter. See also
that they are regularly sailed twice a
week; that they have daily access to fresh
water and that they are well bedded.
YOUNG HELPERS AND YOUNG CATTLE.
These should be so fed and SO housed
as to keep them in growing condition.
Their food, as in the case Of mich cows,
should be varied occasionally, although
it need scarcely be so rich or so album
dant. In addition to long proyerder,
they should have moderate feed of
grain once a day or else of bran and
cut straw. Salt and access to water are
also essential, and ample protection like
