Corn and HOGS.

Farmers are frequently at a loss to
settle the question of the relative value
of cora and hogs. 1t is not always
loss to feed dear corn to cheap hogs, for
the reason that the hogs are on hand and
must be either prepared for market, or
they must be kept and increased in num-
Der to eat the coming cheap crop of corn.
1t is easy to calculate what one is doing
In hog feeding. If the hogs are the
right breed, thrifty and hearty as they
should be, every FIVE and six.tenths
pounds of corn should add one pound to
3 hog. Or, bushel Of corn should pro-
duee ten pounds of pork. If, they do
not do this there is either deficiency in
the hogs or bad management in feeding.
Then if one bushel of corn represents
ten pounds of pork, if pork be So per
100 pounds the feeder will be getting 80
cents per bushel for his corn. If pork
is 81, he gets 40 cents for his corn. But
if the winter be cold, and the hog quar-
ters bad, bushel will not produce five
pounds of pork, and in cold and muddy
pens it ia difficult to increase any, 80 that
time and corn are thrown away. And
too much of this kind of business is done
in Iowa. Our hog pens for winter are
not comfortable enough to enable the
owner to get 10 cents per bushel for corn
when feeding is done until late in the
winter. Hogs rust be fattened in
September and October and turned off
in November; or very warm quarters
must be prepared fo' them. There is
no disputing this fact, and farmers must
apply themselves to this business. Too
much of the caloric of the bodies of
hogs, horses, and cattle is blown of in
the winds which has to be supplied by
rich food which should 60 to increasing
fs., instead of expended in keeping up
the warmth of the body.

Railway Officials aud Pigs.

Count Bsranof, Imperial Commisarv
OF Railways in southern Russia, while
on recent tour of inspection over the
Lessov- SebSstopol line, in the Crimea,
heard complaints from all classes of the
inhabitants. At one particular station
strangely worded protest was addressed
to him by the spokesman of a group of
landowners. We cannot" vociferated
this gentleman, bear with the pigs any
longerW Which pigs do you meant
hope you do not sllude to the railway
officialsw "By no means, they are bad
enough; but it is the pigs that We Can no
longer endure" After a good deal OF
beating about the bush, the count sue
ceeded in getting at the following curl
GUS facts, The subordinate railway
officials along the line, compelled to sub
nit 10 exorbitant reductions from their
wages at the hands of toe cashiers
charged with the payment Of all current
expenses, found themselves 40 badly of

gether, they had taken to swine breeding
on great scale, encouraging their herds
to ACQUIRE n marketable fairness upon the
estate. contiguous to the line Of railway.
The circumstance that several valuable
farms have been laid vast by hordee of
hungry swine prompted the passionate
protest which, until It's true grounds
were revealed to him, no completely puz-
zled Count Barsnofi.

lawyer in the Pennsylvania courts, ne
once lost his Gaze by what he considered
a wrong ruling of the Judge. Nsgusted,
he banged his law books on the table,
picked up his hat and started for the

mouth. The judge feeling that his dig.
nifty was sssailed, rose impressively, and
said: "Mr. Stevensp Mr.. Stevens

Quarter.
A correspondent of the Calcutta Pho
neer, after describing An expedition
against body of Afghans under Sahib
Jan, where some twenty fugitiyes
ciambered to the summit Of a conical
hillock one hundred feet high in the
middle of plain where the action WAS
fought, says: This cavalry engage
ment was no light matter for the Second
PupJab cavalry, One man was killed on
the spot, and no less than twenty seven
Sewers were wOunded-four dangerous
ly, and ten severely-while twelve
horses were lost or disabled. Of The
enemy fifteen bodies were fonnd on the
ground, including that of Sshib Jan,
who, when holly pursued, begged for
quarter, declaring who he was ~ a
reason why mercy should be extended to
him. The Jemadar engaged with him
did not spare him, aud | saw his body
afterwards with frightful marks of
the saber upon it. Thswss not the end
OF the days work. The two standards
were still flying on the top of the cone,
and the part of a head could be seen now
and then. A sergeant of the Fifty
ninth took two shots st the head of one of
the men and hit him at 600 yards r1Age.
But there were several men there, some
twenty it is believed, and several
methods were tried to induce them TO
come down. The headsman of the vii
lage was asked if he thought they would
surrender if their lives were promised
them; but he replied that they would
not believe in our promises. The battery
tried firing double shell at high ele-
walton; and for this purpose Captain
Sartorius, with eight of his company
(Forty ninth regiment) advanced slowly
up the hill, their progress being covered
by Others, who kept firing at the top to
prevent the enemy from showing him
self till the last moment To onlookers
this was An anxious time, ~ Indeed it
must have been TO the little storming
party. We saw Captain Ssrtorius a
couple of yards in advance and to the
right of his men, sword in hand, nearing
the top of the cone. Directly the Chill
zais saw him, they darted out from their
place OF concealment--a sort Of basin
dug out from the apex of the cone and
sprsng down on the soldiers like fiends.
Captain Sartorius guarded the first
tut'car cut with his left hand, re.
ceiving nasty cut in 20 doing.
He and one of his assistants closed and
tumbled together to the bottom of the
| hill. He received another wound on the
right hand, losing his sword. Nei
If the antagonists we're disabled; luckily
Ssratorius was up first, and seizinu a
rifle with fixed bsyonet which he found
on the ground near him, he managed To
transfx the Ghilzai, who, however, in
spite of this, stopped down, and with his
dying effort, picked up stone which he
flung in Saratorius' face. When the At
ghans rushed over the top the Fifty.
ninth men, who behaved admirably, met
them first with volley and ben with
a bayonet, and in this manner dispatched

however; he received terrific tui'oa,

Az MILKING Time.

At milking time we do not want 10
much talking and running around the
pound or yard. We want all those
who are not milking to either stay away
or to act quietly or sensibly. We do
not want the cattle chased all around
the yard with a stalk or a heavy stick,
until they are tired enough to stand
still now, are your" but by being uni
fOrmly kind we want each COW to know
that we come to relieve her of her milk,
which we intend to do quietly and
quickly We want her to understand
that we are her best friend and never
intent on injuring her in any way. By
having only quiet, and experienced
mixers you will, reader, be surprised at
the great difference in the daily yield of
milk. 1t is scarcely necessary to caution
cleanliness st milk;ng-time, for all
should know it's great Importance, but
We must speak of the habit of moisten-
ing the cows teats to make the milking
easier. This may be the case, but when
this is persisted in the tests are apt to
harden and crack. The best plan is to
sponge them off just before milking with
pure water-warm in winter, cool in
summer when they have dried of,
do the milking and the teats will always
be nice.-Farqa and Ftrestde.

Winter DAirying.

1t is evident that farmers must make
preparations to do more dairying in
winter. Arrangements should be made
not only to have cows come in suitable
for that season, but warm, comfortable
and clean quarters provided for them.
And then have taken care of by careful
devotion to their interests. Clean beds.
curried frequently, aired in the sun on
warm days, provided with water not
below so in temperature, and if milk
warm far better. They must be pro-
vided not only with plenty of good
hay and corn meal, but feed once day
of roots. During the winter months
there are leisure and idle hands for this
business. But they will have to be e'!u
Gated to it. The present growth OF boys
in Iowa have not been taught to take
care of stock, and especially of cows, in
the thorough manner necessary for their
comfort and profit to the owne. All the
products of the COW are dearer in winter
than summer. Labor is cheaper, and
food but little dearer. Besides, the COW
has to be fed and cared for whether she
is giving milk or not. The additional
care and food necessary to make COW
exceedingly profitable during winter is
the best investment man can make on
the farm.
There is no richer and better food for
COW than faxseed. tits generally Civ
en- in the shape of oil meal. The only
virtue in it is the oil. Machinery has
become so improved that the mills leave
but little oil in the cake, 30 that one
bushel of seed has as much oil in it as
ten bushels of oil meal. So it becomes
farmers to raise and feed their own fax
seed. 1t can be ground mixed with
corn and oats at almost any OF our feed
mills in proportion. of one bushel of fax.
seed to three of corn and three of oats
This will be rich food for COWS, given in
limited quantities once a day. 1t makes
rich milk and keeps the cows in healthy
tone.
The boom In business will not be 10
great but farmers better utilize all the
means in their power to make the farm
and all the stock on it ~ available as
possible. And the COW stands at the
head. She is all profit. She furnishes
food for the family, butter and cheese
for the market, paying for groceries and
family supplies all the year round, fur
nishes calves for stocking the farm with
more COWS, and the steers to eat the crop
of the farm, and milk to raise pigs.
Stand by the cow-feed her literally
treat her kindly. She pays it all back
four fold. There is no animal on the
farm which makes such liberal returns
for kindness and high feeding.-Io.oa
