Cooked Feed for Hogs.

We have steadily commended that any
farmer could make his corn go twice as
far in feeding hogs by cooking it before
feeding, as to deal it out in the ear in the
old peIl-mell way of feeding raw in the
ear, sometimes throwing it in the mud
and sometimes feeding on a dirty floor.
Up to the present time we only have eX-
periments made on a very limited scale
in this matter, but these have all thus
far fully justified the opinion we have
repeatedly expressed, that boiled corn
can be made to 90 twice as far in feeding
hogs as dry whole corn will go, and the
feeding power of q given amount of corn
can be doubled with a vast deal less
labor than would be required to raise a
double or two crops of corn. Like any
other business, it will, of course, require
proper fixtures for grinding and boiling
the corn for feeding hogs on a full scale
in this way. As to the experiments that
have been made in this matter one of our
exchanges says:
ga long series of experiments made
by farmer who found pOrk-making the
most profitable part of farming, and
who submitted everything to weigh
ing and measuring, proved that the
value of corn was doubled by grinding
and scalding. Ninety pounds of hot
water were poured on sixteen pounds of
meal, in covered tub, where it stood from
twelve to eighteen hours, according to the
weather. He found meal mixed with
boiling water decidedly better than when
mixed with cold water. 1t never re-
quired more than five pounds of meal to
make pound of pork. His long-con-
tinued experiments, conducted with
careful weighing, gave the value of corn
in the ear at siXty-two cents, dry meal
eighty-seven cents, and cooked meal
SLIP. Another experimenter found that
it required little less than four pounds
of cooked meal to make Il pound Of
pork, and about seven pounds in the ear.
Still another eXperimenter found that
pork made from whole corn cost twenty
two cents a pound, while that from
cooked meal was only four and a half
cents pound. Several years ago Sam
uel H. Clay, of Kentucky, found by a
| series of experiments, that one bushel of
dry, ungrOund corn made five pounds
| ten ounces of live pork: while one bushel
of whole corn, boiled, made fourteen
pounds seven ounces"
Experiments like these ought certainly
| to etfarmers to thinking seriously about
| getting up the fixtures necessary for
grinding and feeding all the corn they
may have to feed to their hogs, when ten
acres of corn can by this kind of process
be made to go as far in feeding as q crop
of twenty acres will go when fed in the
old way. Care. of course, should be
taken by every farmer to provide him
self with hogs of the best breeds that are
known-goOd feeders, with good frames
| and such as are known to possess the
early maturity quality in an eminent
| degree. The Dy0Uer'S Journal

Veterinary surgery is looked upon
with much more favor than was the case
thirty or forty years ago. There are
now many more veterinary surgeons who
have passed regular medical college
course than there formerly were, and to
prescribe for sick horses or cattle is not
considered beneath the dignity of regU-
lar NJ. d. As animals have not usually

T. H. Hoskins says, in the RatrGt Ne'O
Yorker: 1.-The blackened sap running
down from where a limb.has been pruned
away, certainly indicates something
wrong. I once believed that it was due
to pruning at the wrong season. But an
old orchardist on Lake Champlain
dropped the remark in my hearing that
a hardy and healthy tree might be
pruned at any time without this result,
and that in any case where it occurred
the tree would be found to be black
hearted. My observation since has con-
firmed that opinion.
The Breeders Journal says that the
show ring has been the destruction OF
more good cattle than any other single
cause. The breeder who designs to show
selects the best for that purpose; selects
them as calves, shows them in the calf
class, shows them in the yearling class,
in the two-year-old and in the aged, if
they last so long. Many of these by this
time will be worthless. Another prac-
tee has been in vogue by professional
Snowman to go into different herds and
select the top for show purposes, paying
long prices. Many a herd Ga bull and
five cows has cost the exhibitor from
$4,000 to $50, 900, and a reputation
built up by these means that could not
be sustained by his own breeding.

Salt and Lime.

The following is recommended as an
excellent combination for fertilizing pur-
poses: Mix one busheI of salt with two
bushels of dry lime, under cover, and
allow the mixture to decompose grad
ually, thus forming an intimate chemical
union of the two materials. For this
purpose the mixture should lie at least six
weeks before use, or, still better, two or
three months, the heap being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty to thirty bushels per acre. forms
an excellent top dressing for crops. 1t
acts powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils. Fifty bushels applied to a
turnip-feld have produced as large a
crop as twenty loads of barnyard ma
nuFe. It is also very destructive to in
sects and grubs in the soil. Like salt, it
attracts moisture from the air, and has
been found useful against drouth. Its
decomposing power is remarkable, and
if three or four bushels of it are mixed
with cord of swamp muck the latter
will soon be reduced to powder Coarse
manure is in a similar manner decom-
posed and made fine. Sour, wet muck
thus treated aud eomposted with barn
yard manure constitutes z faFtilizaV Rlz

SLMLLIA.


In sweetest verdure near my home
A rose-bush grows to glad my eye:
Hts spreading branches form dome
As perfect as the arching sky.
Its leaves are soft and blithely green.
As virgin snow its blossoms white,
Its roses blush the lovely sheen
OF Nature bathed in morning light:
The sunshine gives their perfumes sigh
And breeZes kiss them passing by.
My bush, with love and light aglOW,
IS childhood's dream OF long ago.
One day a lowly larva sped
With toiling stretches toward my pet;
Anon it stopped and raised its head,
AS 'twere TO gauge the distance yet.
AT last it gained its goal of love,
And climbed with eager haste and keen
Until 1t reached q branch above,
And rested there in joy serene.
1tthought: mo more the earth I'll tread;
I'll wait my wings in pleasures bed"
.'Ah me, poor grub 1 said, with tears
"'TWas thus spent my early years.
Ere long this child of sun and rose,
The Pupa, spread its gaudy wings;
Its fathers light in beauty gloWs,
Its mothers love in curves and rings
AS free and feet as wind to roam,
With Wond ring pride in life so new,
One look it gave 70 native home,
Then OF to meadows fair it flew.
All day 1t rOamed md fruit and floW'rS,
And giddy Joy beguiled the hours.
''Poor winged rose, ] thought, ''ah me,
My manhood wasted time like thee"
At eve my truant came again
TkneW, for had watched il so;
But now alasl twas not as when
In gladsome flight l saw it CO.
Not all were flowers In his way,
A thorn had rent wing in twain,
And now upon the ground he lay,
In hopeless, helpless grief and pain,
In vain he tried to mount the air
Each effort ended In despair.
''Ah me, poor bruised and broken FRIEND
My own career had such an end.
mid sand and stones he found 10 rest
A hollow place and then plain,
And ever as he gained the crest
His efforts flung him back again.
The very wing. that still was whole
Was now, in need, his greatest foe:
AS pride misleads an erring soul,
1t turned him round to ways OF woe.
At length he worked his upward way,
And tired upon the mound he lay.
"Ah me, poor hayward thing" thought,
Like thee my peace was dearly bought"
The hapless insect, lost to bliss,
Had reached glade in mellow light;
This ended in a dread abyss,
And all beyond was dark as night.
He made no effort now to soar,
But rested there in calm content,
AS though he felt that life no more
Had aught for him but to repent.
He moved agan-'twaS Mercy's thought
His final rest was all he sought;
He reached the verge and fell from sight.
Like his, my day, and then? Good night

Our Foreign and Domestic Trade.

r The total export trade of the United
States has never yet reached one thouS-
and millions of dollars. In 1881 it was
only some seven hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars, but in the two previous
years our total exports were over eight
hundred millions per annum. Vast as
these figures appear to be they seem
small when compared with the returns
of our domestic commerce. The bust
ness of our railroads, lakes, rivers and
canals foots up some thirty-fve thousand
millions of dollars annually; that is to
say, for every dollar engaged in the for
eign trade of the country there are from
thirty-ive to forty employed in our inter
state commerce. This coming year we
will probably ship abroad nearly three
hundred millions of breadstufs, and
about the same amount of cotton; but we
shall send abroad less beef and pork than
we have done for the last two years. 1t
is estimated that we shall have crop of
i've hundred and seventy million bushels
of wheat. of which something more than
half will be consumed in the country;
but our corn crop, while it will exceed
that of last year, will not be equal to the
crops of 1879 and 1880. -Den1oreScs
