Food for Swine

Green food is essential to the health of both
SOW and pigs. / am quite partial to pumpkins,
artichokes, alfalfa. Fresh water the purer the
better, should be ut all times within reach. For
young pigs mix up slop of ground barley or
corn, mixed with bran or shorts from the MILL j
feed also corn and barley that has been soaked
"a to A. hours. In warm weather do not let il
become too sour.
To grow pigs successfully and profitably re-
quires that they should have good appetite,
good digestion and strong assimiating powers,
which cannot he found in any breed without wig.
Orous health. If pig is kept for a considerable
time in cold, wet, dirty pen, on bad food and
short allowance until the character and quality
of secretions are changed, and the general growth
of the pig isehecked, the pig will not make good
breeder. BY subsequent good care and feed, this
pig may grow to be fine looking hog, and as
breeder, may not show the check il has received,
hut the abuse will be pretty sure to crop out in
its offspring, causing late maturity, deficiency in
size or fattening qualities.-Rmdl HOrid.

Buckwheat.

One Of our exchanges says: There are few
products grown upon the farm that are more
profitable than buckwheat. The labor Of cult
waiting and harvesting the crop is less than is re-
quired of almost any other, while it will grow ON
poorer soil than almost any other; yet its utility
is admitted by ALL No one despises bnckwhcat
grdle cakes n cold morning in winter. Ground
with corn and oats it is very desirable feed for
pigs For poultry it is one of the hest grains for
producing eggs, and surpassed by none excepting
refuse eggs. As plant for bees it is only equal
ed by white clover. Buckwheat requires light,
warm soil, mellow and not over rich, or IT will
run too much to straw. 1t is an excellent crop
for green mannring; in this respect IT is only
surpassed by clover. 1t might be turned over in
season to sow winter wheat, rye, or for seeding
down. The time for sowing is from the LIST to
the 18th of july at the rate OF about n bushel Ia
the acre, and a good yield will he abont twenty
five bushels to the acre, but it not unfrequently
falls a. low as fifteen. The straw makes good
bedding. though il is claimed 10 be good fodder,
but cattle will not eat il unless il is steamed and
n little meal added. Few farmers having the
means of steaming. the feeding properties of the
straw will be of little value. There are two
rieties the black and the silver hull. The latter
is preferable for flour, it is much whittier than
the black kind, which will be preferred where
the grain is required for feeding purposes.

Care of Horses.

One cause of collie in horses is giving cold wa
ter while they are sweating; ANOTHER, allowing
the horse to drink large quantity of water after
n heavy feed and then driving at fast speed, or
again permitting it to draw a heavy load under
similar circumstances. Another cause Of collie is
feeding the horses grain when very hungry. This
animal generally eats very fast when hungry,
and large portion of grain thus passes into the
stomach without being masticated, and finds its
way into the intestines, where il swells and fer
ments. When hOrs. has travelled long jour
ney il is best to give il little hay before it is
fed with grain. YOuatt says: "Some of the
oats are imperfectly chewed by all horses, and
scarcely at all by hungry and greedy ones
Careful attention To the feeding and working of
horses would save them from many diseases with
which they are now liable to he attacked. 1t is
poor economy to feed grain to horses which they
do not masticate, if no other evils attended it,
for it is only the thoroughly masticated food
which renews the energies wasted by labor. In
England, horsemcn are rolling oats III order TO
insure their masticatiOn. New oats should not
be fed TO hard-wOrked horses, nor old, musty
ones; the latter should be kiln-dried before be-
ing fed.-RHral UOrId.

.for the farmer.
Gtapkinp Wheat

We have often said that, after all of The cx-
rense and toll OF the season. in raising crop OF
wheat, the profit is frequently all lost in bad
stacking And vet there is need of il. il the
middle Of the stack be kept full enough and solid,
there il but little danger from wet. Nearly every
man who thinks he is good stacker rs par'ien-
lar 70 place his bundles close together on the
outside courses. and then put the loose straw and
rnnph bundles in the middle. Being much more
,,,ilsht in the middle than the outer edge, 1t
will settle more even if all partsof the stack are
hacked alike. But il is seldom that this is the
ease Hence the middle STILES until the outer
ends of the sheaves stick up instead of down. In
tl,is condition the water runs TO the middle oil
the stack and then down just where the heads OF
grain are concentrated. Eight years ago we
knew a Young beginner who had strained every
nerve 10 raise good crop, and succeeded. lie
made fine looking stacks Of ii, but was careless
in packing solidly the middle, although aPpar-
entity it was high enough at all times. The stacks
were large and high. The middIes settled two
or three feet more than the outsidcs. There came
n heavy rain. Soon after we called his attention
10 the fact that his stacks were wet and wheat
spniling lie could not believe it. But on thor
ourh examination he found il was too wet 10
tlresII or too wet 10 leave. lie finally got a ma
chine 10 try it not two-thrs of il was threshed;
not a buslIel of understandable wheat was obtain
ed Most of il was fed out to the stock at a lit
tie profit and the balance rotted in the bins. He
had bought a farm and paid part. This failure
of the crop defeated him in meeting his engage
ments Struggling TO overcome this failure of
his wheat he paid high interest, and finally
failed. abandoned his farm with what he had
paid, and went TO Dakota to begin anew and
grow up with the eountry.-foua Register.

THE WORN NUISANCE on OUR TEEEs.-That
coal oil will cause instant death to these
pests in the shape of worms which ravage our
shade and fruit trees, is proved beyond all doubt.
Last season the Horticultural Society instituted
a series Of experiments with coal oil an insect
exterminator and it was fond to be the most
valuable article for this purpose yet discovered.
4 brush of stiff feathers made, and portions Of
the infected trees smeared with the oil, in addi-
ton to placing a small quantity on the nests, and
death ensues. The effect of the oil on the pests
seems miraculous one touch of the deadly sub
stance TO the nests spreading desolation in all
directions

A Cure for Car-Sickness.

Many persons, especially ladies', are great suil-
crers from that form of nausea and headache
known Us 'car-sickness.r A journey by rail has
for them all the discomfort and suffering that
ocean voyage has to the majority of travellers.
4 lady who had occasion to take a short trip on
the Lowell road-and she never travels by rail
for pleasure-was, rs is usual with her, as thor
Oughly sick ever a landsman is ON the "heav
ing deep by the time she had ridden dozen
miles. The conductor of the palace ear, who
was apparently very familiar with such cases,
told the sufferers companion that n sheet of
writing paper, worn next To the person, directly
the chest n preventive of the
trouble in nine eases out of ten. He had recon-
mended il to hundreds of travellers, and rarely
knew it to fail. The prescription seemed to
work like ''charm," hOrse-chestnut carried
in the pocket to ward off rheumatism, q red
string around the neck to prevent bleeding at
the nose; but it was simple, and could Mt least
do no harm. For the return trip n sheet of com
mon writing note paper was fastened inside the
clothing, directed. Result: perfectly COM
Portable journey, without hint Of the old sick
ness that had for years made travel by rail
horror. 1t so like superstition or happy
accident, however, that the lady would not
cept it real until subjected to a more severe
test. This came in a days journey to New York,
and the hardest trial of ala night trip in an
''allegedn<sleepins ear. Both were taken in
triumph. Tie ''charm" worked.
The lady writes: ''The day journey was u
perpetual wonder and delight to me. could
sit up and read aud look at the landscape through
which we whrled, and act as other people do.
And still didn't feel ready to confess TO n cure

always been a horror to me. But even here the
spell worked. | ate heavy supper in the

got up comfortably, and dressed with as level
a head and as steady hand though had
been in my own room. Read until breakfast
time-a thing had never before done on the
cars-and was hungry for my morning meal. Il
is really wonderful, almost too good to be real.
For the first time in my life have experienced
the pleasure in travelling. | wish that conduc-
tor to he specially thanked. l wish, also, that

POULTRY IN THE ORCrARD.-lonng chickens
and ducklngs will get large part of their liv-
ing from insects, if they have the opportunity.
1t is good plan to give up the fruit-yarl, or 4
part of the orchard, to poultry. Chickens and
ducks want shade as well as sunshine, and thrive
better for it during the summer. They are al
ways on the watch for worms and millers, and
greedily dcvour every insect that falls from the
trees. They are fond Of fruit, and consume the
windfalls which harhor the insects that are 50
destructive to fruit. 4 brood of chickens left
under an apple tree afflicted with canker worms
or caterpilars, will reduce the stock, and finally
eNterminate them. One of the most successful
fruit-growcrs we are acquaited with, keeps poul-
try constantly under his trees. The apples and
pears fair, and he has paying crops every
year.
