Wintering Pigs.

| have found that il costs much or more TO
winter a young pig as it does an old hog, and
have abandoned the practice Of wintering any
thing but breeders. A breeding SOW may be al
lowed to have n litter of pigs in the spring
which can be sold, and the old will get in fine
condition, almost if not quite fit for butchering,
on clover, cOrnstalks and roots. And we count
the income derived from the pigs an extra
gain. There is always n demand in the spring
for young pigs at from 81 TO 81 each, for fatten-
ing, and higher price for breeding stock, which
makes the profits on breeding SOW equal TO that
of a COW, with n great deal less cost of keeping.
BY little painstaking can a farmer make
a market for his pork at a price more remunera-
tive than what is usually paid for it in the car
cass. Town people will buy and eat more pork
if they know that it has been grown and fatten-
ed on wholesome food. We could have sold in
Schenectady for ten cents pound 4 ton of spare
ribs produced our farm, if We had them. Our
head cheese sold at the same price. and ex-
pect to realize from II TO II cents for the bacon
hams and shoulders The highest price which
was paid in our local market for pigs seven
cents per pound. The lard was sold at from :
10 10 cents per pound, according to quality. Our
pigs cut so that they can he wholly market
ed in the above forms. Pigs grown and fattened
as have described. produce meat not only of
the healtheSt character. but of the very best IA
vor. which Of course increases the demand for

for the farmer.
Fatten Your Own Stock.

The meat production in the United States
could easily he absorbed to the extent of feeding
100 00O, 600 of population. II will never he dOue,
81 long % the average farmer is content TO sell
his grain, leaving the meat, beef especially, in
the hands of comparatively few who make spe-
cialty of fattening stock. The same is true in
the case of sheep, though not to the Same de-
gree. But for some reason the American farmer
and, indeed, the American people, do moi take
kindly TO mutton. The taste should be eduea-
ted in this direction. In all our hill country,
sleep should he the most profitable of farm
stock, and particularly in the hill region of the
South, where early lambs may be turned of at
low cost, to be eagerly bought in the northern
markets. So swine should be carried to the full
capacity of every farm, both North and South.
There is a worlds demand for well-fattened
and healthy pork, and always will be. Where
corn, the most profitable use it can be put 70 Is
in fattening steers and hogs for market. If the
farmer, cultivating eighty acres and upward,
should study these meat problems carefully as to
profits in a series of years, taking into consider
alton the increased value of his farm over that
where the coarse grains were sold, he would
not be long in recognizing the fact that his true
interest lay in carrying as much live stock as
his land would feed.
Our most wealthy farmers are those who have
given their attention to the production of meat,
butter and cheese. They always will be. In
stead of producing comparatively little more
meat than is required for home consumption,
our export should be in this direction, rather
than in the export of grain. The first course
brings the most money, and continuously en-
riches the soil. The latter policy never made
the farmer rich who persisted in it year by year.
In the end he must lay out all his profits for fer
tilizers while the stock farmer gets his profits
enough year by year to keep his soil mp to its
usual fertility.

Patching Hogs.

Hogs should have the best attention now. Eve
~ day they should be made TO increase in weight.
Warm, dry quarters and plenty Of feed and wa
ter should be supplied to them. Pork is pork
this year, and he who has plenty Of hogs will
have money TO put in his purse.
An Illinois farmer in an exchange says:
Farmers who have swine in numbers find dali
Is employment in shocking corn for them. ! am
told that the stock of hogs now in farmers
hands is unusually small, and that in all prOba-
bility prices will rule high. There is visible
tendency among farmers to dispose of their hogs
as early as practicable, owing To the scarcity
and high price of corn, but with plenty of corn,
much of which is poor and soft, il is probable
that more profit will he realized where they are
kept for n later market. The present prices
here (abont eigth cents pound alive) is not
high, when the scarcity of real good hogs is ia
ken into consideration, and the general light
Weld and poor average quality of the corn crop.
One excellent farmer and successful swine
breeder whom have lately visited in this coun-
ty, is feeding large quantities of wheat bran to
his fattening hogs. This feed, prepared by mix
ing il with water a few hours before feeding, is
given in connection with corn. both kinds Of
feed being supplied in large quantities are
eaten readily without waste. The object of this
method of feeding is to furnish a cheap variety
of food, and of quality that will promote heal
thy action of the bowels, and encourage growth
am told that some considerable experience
with feeding wheat bran at prices ranging from
SO to SIP per ton, has resulted very satsfacto-
rily where the above system of feeding is prac'

Making and Using Cold Frames.

4 cold frame is intended merely tn preserve
plants during the severe winter weather, and not
for growing them. Ii consists Of two boards
running parallel about six feet apart, and nail
cd TO posts. The rear one should be IL inches
high, and the front one inches, to give the
sashes, which are placed lengthwiSe from one to
the other, the right pitch. The cold frame may
he of any desired length, and should be built
where II can have shelter frum The northwest.
A high Close board fence is almost Indispensable
for this particular in some localities The sashes
slant to the south and southeast. The cabbage.
lettuce, and caulifiower plants are first grown
in the open ground aud transplanted W hen about
month old, to the cold frames, in which they
are TO remain through the winter. Each sash,
by feet will cover $40 cabbage or caulifiower,
and $40 lettuce plants. These plants are near
ly hardy, and only need to be protected from
sudden changes of temperature. In clear winter
days the sashes may be tilted at the rear end in
order TO give the plants abundant air. All the
management of the cold frame must keep in
view the fact that its object is not to promote
growth. but TO keep the plants m a perfectly
dormant state. In the So tn, ridges Of earth
serve the purpose, and take the place of cold
frames used in the North If the soil in the
frames is TO he used for growing other plants,
after removing the cabbage, lettuce, ETC., to the
open ground in spring, il shonld he both rich
and mellow.

Exercise and Malaria.

sng the tendency nowadays to assign malarial
poison as 4 cause for all kinds Of physical dis
turbances: This fashion, rs it may row be
called, Of assigning malarial poison as cause

came known as 4 specific for malaria when TO
this agency were referred only the periodic fe-
vers These frvers, intermittent and Telnitteni,
were found to leave behind, after the fever pro-
per had taken its departure, certain conditions,
especially of the liver and spleen, which condi-
tons produced a variety of obscure symptoms,
all of which were helped by the same remedy
which cured the fever, and, being given for
these obscure troubles, it was soon given for all
obscure troubles resembling them, and it was
found TO be of service III all; hence, reasoning
from effect to cause, it was inferred that all were
of malarial origin. person eats heartily and
exercises little; he soon finds himself ill; he has
headache, pain in his side, languuT, and a yarie-
ty of uncomfortable SENSATIONS. Quinine is ton
ic, and aids digestion; he takes it, and-What
more natural conclusion than that his symptoms
are due to malaria, being relieved as they are by
the great anti maarial remedy! Thus quinine
became, AS il is to-day, an ingredient of nearly
all prescriptiOns-the great cure-all. 1t also be-
came great aid in diagnosis, and i'll many cas-
es settled the question, convincing the prOpos-
ell patient and the wavering physician that ma
laria was the great bottom fact in the in

clothing aud exposure TO cold and heat, worry
and care, idleness and oyerwOrk, OyereNcite-

Blanching The Celery,

We last month described the manner of bring
ing tho leaves of the celery into an upright po-
sition, or handling as the gardeners term it.
The stalks still green, and not fit for use I'M
til they have been whitened or "blanched.'
This is done by the complete exclusion Of light,
which is usually effected by q banking up of
earth Any other method that will completely
shut out the light will answer. The banking
up is done with spade, one person on each side
taking the soil from between the rows and form
ing a steep bank against the plants, covering all
except a few inches of the longest leaves; this
bank is ten or twelve inches wide at the bottom,
and shOuld be compact and smooth. In three or
four weeks after banking the celery may be
uesd. Only that which is needed early requires
to be banked; the stock for winter use is blanch-
ed in trenches, or in boxes, and needs only the
handling 10 bring the plants into the proper
shape. A trench is dug in dry place, 10 inches
wide, and deep enough to contain the whole
plant that the top will be level with the sur
face The celery is placed in the trench, pack
ing it as close rs possible, in an erect position.
When cold weather comes the celery, which IS
not injured by moderate frost, must be cover
ed with straw or leaves, the thickness of which
must he increased as tho weather becomes cold
er. For family use celery is often stored in box
rs ia the cellar, but the cellar must be cool.
Boxes are made nine or ten inches wide, of any
convenient length, and of height little less
that that of the plants; the bottom is covered
with an inch OF two of sand soil, and the Gel
ery placed in il as in the trenches. The taking
up and storing of the main crop, in the latitude
Of New York, is left until the middle of next
month. but in more northern localities il should
be done earler.-.4m. 1grieHiturist.

Marketing Poultry.

Poultry which it is not intended to winter, are
to be Patterned before really severe weather comes
on; otherwise money will be lost on them. They
will barely hold their own in December feed
which caused them to increase rapidly in weight
a month earlier. Those who have watched tho
market, know that autumn prices usually are
highest a little before and little after Thanks
giving. say before the middle Of November, and
soon after the first Of December. The reason is
that those who fattcning poultry keep them
back for 4 short time before Thanksgiving day,
and before Christmas time, in order to get them
in prime order for sale at those times. The re-
suit is usually an overstocked market, and plenty
of cheap poultry. Soon after the first of Janua-
ry, prices 90 up again, aud well they may, for
one OF two months feed has been consumed and
very little weight added.
Capons grow rapidly. and their growth takes
mp the food. 80 that We have TO wait until growth
stops, before they fatten. II is well, therefore,
that this delicious class of poultry shonld not
make its appearance before the first of Fehrna-
ry, when the game laws prohibit venison, quail.
and other choice game from being exposed for
sale. At this time, consequently. fat capons and
pullets meet good market, and during
Lent, when considerable portion of the Chris
tian world abstain from meats, there is a sharp
demand for the highest priced meats 10 grace
the table of the rich ON sundays. IL is Therefore
