Feeding Fatteniny Hogs.

1t has taken two weeks of careful Oh
servation to find out just how much to
feed fattening hogs and keep up their
appetites. 1t may be put down as an
established fact that when pig has not
a keen appetite it is not in a healthy
condition. Nine ears of corn day
were allowed TO each old hog at the
start and the number was gradually in
creased up to thirty six, or a basketful
for pen of eight. This is all that hogs
will eat of corn and keep up a vigorous
appetite. They have had each day an
armful of sweet corn stalks which they
ate greedily. A few raw pumpkins
have also been given which they rel
ished very much. When the corn
stalks are fed out. sorghum stalks will
be gwen. | consider these corn stalks
to be almost invaluable to feed in this
connection. Sulphur and charcoal have
been put in the pens. Pigs will eat of
these every day. Clear, cold water is
kept in the troughs all of the time.
These old hogs are now fairly started
Br fattening. The corn will make the
fat, and the green corn stalks and the
sorghum the necessary coarse material
to fill the bowels, and at the same time
Tighten the stomach. By this EXPIRES
sion we mean, keeping the stomach
from becoming packed with solid food
like corn meal, or clear corn eaten by
the pigs. For these reasons it is better
to grind cob and all, and corn should
always be ED in this wav to any animal;
something must be taken into the stom-
ach more than what is digestible. or all
OF the functions of the animal bevond
the digestive will be inactive. How
long can they remain in dormant con-
dition and be healthy? Not long. The
gastric juices can better penetrate food
mixed with some coarse material than
when in dense or compact form. Raw
roots, pumpkins or apples are most
beneficial to fattening animals for the
above reasons. They also help to cool
the blood. and prevent tho animal from
becoming feveriSh.-COr. Rural No

Those girls who break down in the

their own beds, dust their rooms and

China has but one missionary to ev-

eminent missionary writes that the
great demand is for women missionaries.
All the women of China are Buddhists,

that if they are good here they may be

Flower Color Changes.

Mr.. Grant Allen says that changes in
color of towers appear to follow a regu-
lar and definite order. All flowers, it
would seem, were in their earliest form
yellow; then some of them became
white; after that a few of them grew to
be red or purple; and. finally, COM
paratively small number. acquired
shades of lilac, mauYe,, violet or blue.
Even the successive stages OF a single
flower sometimes afford us hues of a
progressive law of color change from
yellow to blue. For example. an En-
glish forget-me-not, Myosotis rersicolor.
is pale yellow when it opens. gradually
becomes family pinkish, and ends by
being blue; and LGnfana noticed in
South America by Fritz Muller was vel
low on its first day, orange on the
second. and purple on the third. Such
changes are notrare among flowers, and
the color always varies in the same gen.
eral direction,
