FATTENING PIGs.-It is most profitable to
make pork from young pigs. a bushel of corn
will produce more pounds of increase in weight
when fed to pig three months old. The cost
of producing given weight of pork ncreas-
es with the age of the animal. If is desirous
to produce an increase of one ton Of pork by
feeding one hundred swine, that increase will
be more cheaply obtained by feeding pigs un-
der six months of age than by feeding those
which are year old, or older ones. The man
who allows his young pigs to have scanty
allowance of food permits the opportunity for
profitable feeding to slip by and is Obliged to
produce his pork at an increased cost, by feed
ing when the swine are older.

SHOEING HORsEs.-Two evils result from
shoeing horses, which are never properly
guarded against. The shoes are allowed to
stay Oh too long, and thus the hoof becomes
cramped, and the horse liable to become lame.
Secondly, by frequently and carelessly pulling
off shoes, the hoof is liable to become broken.
All this can be avoided by care and attention.
but the better way is to do without shoeng
when possible. If the horse has tough, hard
hoof, there is no necessity for shoeing, for any
kind of farm work. Economy alone would de-
eide against shoeing when there is nothing
to be gained by it..

POWER OF IMAeINATIoN.-A good joke
is told of certain Dublin professor-a stick
ler for ventilation. Being recently put in a
room at hotel with another guest, he asked
to raise the window at night, as the air was
so close II can't raise it." said the guest after
working at the window for awhile. "Then

THE USE OF LEMoNs.-A good deal has
been said through the papers about the health
fulness of lemons. The latest advice as how
to use them 50 they will do the most good runs
as follows: Most people know the benefit of
lemonade before breakfast, but few know how
it is more than doubled by taking it at night
also. The way to get the better of a bilious
system without blue pills or quinine is to take
the juice of two or three lemons, as the appe
tite Graves, in as much ice water as makes it
pleasant to drink without sugar, before going
to bed. In the morning on rising, or at least
half an hour before breakfast, take the juice of
lemon in goblet of water. This will clean
the system of humors and bile with efficacy,
without any Of the weakening effects Of Gallo
mel or congress water. People should not il
ritate the stomach by eating lemons clear:
the powerful acid of the juice, which is al
most corrosive, infallibly produces imtama-
tion after awhile, but properly diluted, so
that it does not burn or draw the throat, it
does it's full medicinal work without harm,
and when the stomach is clear Of food has
abundant opportunity to work the system
thoroughly

MASUR1AL VALUE OF sTOCK.

This is an item that rarely enters into the
calculations Of farmers in estimating the prof
it's of stock raising And yet, as we shall see,
it is no inconsiderahle item where fertilizers
have to be purchased. The more stock far
mer keeps and keeps we'll the faster he can i'm
prove his land, or the more hay, fodder or
grain he consumes on his farm the more he
can amoduce. All that is fed to an ar,rnal on
the farm that is not carried off must remain
on it either as weight in the animal or value
in the manure, consequently all that is fed
that does not 60 to make upanmal tissue will
be sufficient if wisely cared for and judiciOus-
ly applied to the land, to make it produce AS
much again, as none of the elements are lost.
Changes take place on the earth, constant
transformations are going on and have been
for ages, and yet the weight OF the combined
elements Oh this planet remains nnateled.
The weight Of matter is the same, whether it
be flesh OF manure, or In the growing crop
that produced the flesh and the manure.
This thought furnishes Il basis for calcula-
tion. If it takes ten dollars worth Of fodder
of any kind. the ten dollars worth Of fodder
will be capable when converted back into the
elements that produced it to produce as much
more fodder abating what was converted into
animal fiber. Now we know that horse must
consume from three to four tons of hay or it's
equivalent annually, COW four-tifths as much,
> a sheep one-eigftii as much. Allowing one
third of this matter to 60 toward building up
the animals, while twO-thirls 60 into the ma
nure heap-a liberal allowance for waste
that which enters into the manure should be
worth to the farmer the half at least of what
the hay, fodder, grain, ETC., would bring in
the market. If the four tons of hay or its
equivalent are worth forty dollars, the manure
carefully saved and wisely applied would be
worth twenty dollars, and raise as much hay
or feed as twenty dollars expended in COM
mercial fertilizers.
Stock farms are we'll known to rapidly in
crease in fertility, partly no doubt on account
of the grain bought and fed to the stock, yet
largely to the manure which the coarse feed
furnished. The grain purchased and the ma
nure made enables the stock grower to in
crease the productiveness of his land though
he annually sells off stock or beef enough to
keep himself and family in funds, and yearly
increase the credit side of his bank account

MANUREs AND PLOwING.-Col. John H.
Dent of Georgia, writes to the Southern World,
that any farmer who stables eight head of hor-
ses, and pens ten head of cattle, and owns
sheep and hogs in proportion, and will hire an
active hand by the year as stock man, and
to perform no other labor but the collec-
ting and heapng of manures, and to litter the
lots, ETC., will make sufficiency of manures
provided properrotation Of crops is observed,
as we'll as to sow clover on your fields) as will
enrich farm of two hundred acres, without
having to buy commercial fertilizers. 1t is
as much a part Of a farmers duty to make
manure as to make fences. cultivate his crops
and house them This modern mania for fer
tilizers is only {; speculation inaugurated by
cotton planters to make heavy yields of cot
ton; it's one of these manias that will have
its day and time, and then die out. Farming
proper-that is mixed crops, consisting of corn
wheat, oats, potatoes, peas, grass and clover
enables one to do much for preserving and I'M
proving the lands by rotation as by turning
under clover and stubble. The advantages
are much greater than with the planter who
plants only corn and cotton crops hence. as
above remarked with the amount of stock
named, and hand to attend the collection of
manures as speciality, for two hundred
acre farm bought manures are unnecessary-al
required can be made on the farm.

WINTER CARE OF LIVE STOCK.-There
are few general rules for the care OF live
stock in winter, which are of universal appl-
action
First.-They should lie dry, whether bedded
or not. \ dry floor is far better than wet bed
ding. Spar or slat floors, through which urine
will quickly pass, and which give the animal
level standing place, are especially to be ad-
vised. A good degree of comfort may be had
on such floors, but a full supply OF dry litter
straw, leaves. swamp hay, etc.-certanly
makes all kinds of stock more comfortable
Second-Shelter saves fodder, wherever lum-
ber can be easily obtained, to a degree which
few practical men are aware of. The warm
cr the stables are, the better except perhaps
for sheep. But with close, warm stables, it
is essential that the manure heap should be
where it would not contalninate the air, and
that there should be perfect ventilation, 50
arranged as not to cause drafts of air,
Third.-As to feed This should be given
with the utmost regularity and uniformity
never more than will be all eaten up before
the next feeding time. Then the animals have
an appetite for their food, 50 that coarse fod
der may be first given, to be followed with
better, and by grain in some form, if this be
a part of the daily ration. This is no doubt
the most economical system, securing the least
waste and best digestion of all kinds of fodder
used in the ordinary way.
Fourth.-Grooming and care of the ami
mails are a most valuable means of keeping
them in health as well as of saving feed. The
skin an animal existing in a state of nature
is washed by every shower, brushed and card
ed by every bush, licked by its mates, rubbed
by the ground in rolling, and in various ways
kept free from accumulationS Of its own eXtoli-
ations, from the stoppage of it's pores by sweat,
and from it's own inherent dirt. \ healthy
skin means warmth, health, life, and vigor.
other things being about right, and we can Sc
cure this only by grooming.-Co " c. Weld.

Who Supports t.oa;a,s.

In the cities and in all the cities
in the towns aud in all the towns
and in every large village, can be
soon many young pen WHO 90 not
work, yet who dress very well. and
seem to live from year to year with
out any Of the cares and burdens
which the Industrious and the frugal
have to endure. Many have
wondered how they can manage to
keep up appearances. The Bine-
hamton Leader recently made some
observations which explain the
matter in many cases, aud where
they do not, the probability is that
the explanation is something worse
yet. 1t says:
Most of these idlerE sponge their
living from hard-working fathers,
mothers and sisters. They have no
respect for themselves, or any one
else, and their greatest develop
ments of character are laziness and
selfishness, They spend their days
in places that are not elevating to
any one, and nights in the company
of young girls who, if they were ac-
quainted with their character, would
loathe and scorn them. Woe to the
woman that becomes the wife of "A
man whose character corresponds
with the above.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-07-20

So great is the influence of a
sweet minded woman on those
around her that it is almost bound
less. 1t is to her that friends come
in seasons of sorrow and sickness
for help and comfort; one soothing
touch of her hand works wonders in
the feverish child; a few words let
fall from her lips in the ear of
sorrowing sister does much to raise
the load of grief that is bowing its
victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with the pressure of business, and
feeling irritable with the world in
general; but when he enters the cozy
sitting room and sees the blaze of
the bright fire, and meets his wife's
smiling face, he succumbs in q mo
ment to the soothing influences
which act as the balm of Gilead to
his wounded spirits, that are wearied
with combating with the stern re-
alities of life. The rough school
boy flies in a rage from the taunts
of his companions to find solace. in
his mothers smile; the little one
full of grief with it's own large
trouble, finds haven of rest on it's
mothers breast; and so one might
go on with instance after instance
of the influence that sweet-minded
woman has in the social life with
which she is connected. Beauty is
an insignificant power when com
pared with hers.

Agricultural Economies.

New York Tribune: The profit OF
the future is to come in avoidance
of wastes of the farm. As the
country grows older, land dearer
and immigration heavier, eompeti-
ton wakes fiercer in all agricultural
production. A ruinous share of the
hay is lost first in cutting when
ripened to woodiness or dried to
hardened stems, then in giving it
out to sustain life and animal heat
rather than for fat and flesh. Corn
is also thrown away by insufficient
or injudicious feeding. There is
enormous loss in keeping a poor
COW that yields 800 gallons of milk
per annum instead of one that pro
duces 600 at about the same cost.
One may bring the owner in debt
while the other affords handsome
profit on expense of keeping. A
cow that gives milk only from April
to November and runs dry when
forage is costly, and milk is dear;
should have a few months extra
feeding, and go to the butcher as
soon as possible. That a cow is
dry for more than SIX weeks is the
fault of the owner in not procuring
''the survival of the fittest," and
again in not supplying ample and
succulent food at all seasons, while
the milk habit of the young COW is
forming. The loss in milk and meat
by irregular feeding and a change
from fresh pastures to straw-stack
and coarse hay during an inclement
season, is an irreparable waste which
is projected into the succeeding
summer without regard to the
abundance of its pasturage.
The losses from negligence or
want of skill, in the preparation for
market, the manipulation or manu-
facture from raw material, is enor-
nous, Milk of the same quality,
of the same cost, makes butter at
fifteen cents and at half dollar per
pound. Mixed fruits sell in market
at half the value of assorted samples
neatly put up. The pig products
of famous Massachusetts, farm are
disposed of in New York city at
twenty-three cents per pound, while
similar goods from the average farm
command but fifteen cents. Skill,
taste, neatness and a well-earned
reputation Tor reliable excellence
get the highest rewards give better
dividends than the capital and labor
reDresented in the product on which
they are expended. There is solid
money in these intangible yalu-
ables. But the wastes that may be
avoided are numerous in every de-
partment of agricultural practice,
and cannot be limited at in a para
graph. They are illustrated in the
differing costs and selling prices of
adjoining farms in every neighbor-
hood of the land.
