IratteMing Swine.

1t Is generally conceded that there
should be no standstill period in the
correct system of feeding, but that
growth ought to begin with young
pigs and he steadily and continuously
increased until the animal is ready for
the butchers block. While everybody
nearly accepts the mo standstill'' sys-
TEN rs cUrya3t in theory, most farmers
in reality keep their pigs during the
summer months on very meager ra-
tions, waiting until cold weather to
begin feeding with view to fatten-
ing.
Growers who practice the plan of
making most of the summer season by
regular feeding, testify to the decided
advantage of this system. In very
cold weather, unless the hogs can be
well housed and kept at temperature
of about 60 degrees, what the animal
eats goes to keep up the heat, and the
food fails to produce the same amount
of fat it would in warm weather.
There remains no question but that 1t
pays to provide warm, comfortable
houses for swine during the winter
season in rigorous climates.
The excessive fat gained by excess
sive feeding of fat-producing food is
objected to by many consumers, who
prefer a larger proportion of lean
with the fat. The Lire Stock Journal
says on this subject that the hog is
naturally grass and root-eating ami
nal, but in its domestication, being
fed almost wholly in this country upon
concentrated food, has come the habit
of depositing this excess of fat. If
young pigs are kept upon food that
will grow the muscles and bones and
develop a rangy frame they Will, in
the opinion of the authority referred
to, possess so much muscle when half
grown that a moderate length of time
in fattening, even on corn, will not
pile on an excessive amount of fat
Pigs fattened in Canada partly upon
barley, but largely upon peas-a highly
heterogeneous food, yielding large
proportion of muscle--produce more
lean meat than do swine fattened al
most wholly upon corn-.an excessive
ly starchy and fattening food.-Nea0

Hydrophodia is so appalling a dis
ease, and so generally regarded as in
durable that any specific against it
must be hailed with delight. The
South American curare, or woorari, was
as first thought to be such remedy;
but experience proved its properties to
have been overated. Now from the
same continent comes another drug
which is claimed to be the long-looked
for antidote. 1t is called policapini,
and is an extract from Brazilian
plant known as jaborandi. 1t Is admin
istered by simultaneous injections in
the forearm, twenty grains being used
in six injections. In few moments a
profuse perspiration ensues, attended
by vomiting and this is followed by a
state of complete repose. A short
time after, the patient is entirely well,
Such, at least, is said to have been the
experience of priest at Caen, France,
who was relieved from an attack of
hydrophobia by the use of the new
remedy.
