The American Pig.

The American people rear, fatten ana
consume more pigs than any other
people, and they may be supposed to
know the good qualities Of this little
animal. 1t furnishes a very large share
of the flesh of the people. Our forty
seven millions Of pigs also furnished
commercial products for export in 1881
of over one hundred and five and three
quarter millions of dollars. The aver
age pig exports, for the last six years,
have reached nearly eighty-four and
one-half millions. 1t leads every other
export except wheat and cotton. Ameri-
can farmers have studied the breeding
and feeding of the pig more systematic
ally, have handled them in larger num-
bers and more successfully, than the
farmers of any other country. The pig
has been the great resource of the pio-
neer in his contest with obstacles in set
ting our vast territories. The pig has
always been ready to furnish the money
for needed family expenses. In the
great corn belt, where, in the
early stages of cattle feeding they are
SO wasteful of the corn, the pigs follow
the cattle, and in merely picking up
leavings often pay more real profit than
the cattle. The pig is the greatest fer
tilizer of food among domestic animals,
and his flesh being consumed by fifty
millions, it is safe to say that not one
case of trichina occurs in million of
people.
This disease is extremely rare here,

food, they are guilty of a gross libel on
one of our chief food products. Our
Minister to Germany investigated the
reported cases of number of soldiers
suffering from this disease, and found
they had contracted it from eating Ger
man ham in the village near by.-Na-

Care Of Pastures.

Too many farmers think pastures can
take care of themselves, and no matter
how greatly they are robbed and denuded,
the cattle feeding on the pastures can
take care of themselves also. We have
heretofore urged the importance of al
lowing blue grass to grow several inches
high before stock is turned on it. and to
have no more stock than will allow the
grass to continue that high, with a
thick coating for the ground, keeping it
moist and the grass green. But all
kinds of pasture need care and feeding.
The grass crop on a well regulated and
| properly ordered farm is worth more
than the corn and wheat crop. And
yet all the care and expense are de-
voted to the cereals. leaving the grass
to take care of itself. This is unwise
husbandry and poor economy. There
! is no crop which responds more cor
daily and pays more literally for good
treatment by the farmer than his past
ure and meadow lands.
If a man keeps his moving land in
good condition, he will have an album
dance of hay in winter and spring, so
that he will not be compelled to turn
his poor cattle on his pastures before
there is bite for them. They tramp
the soil into mortar and gnaw the very
roots of the grass from the soil. In this
condition the ground is bare, soon bakes
in the sun, and there is a scanty crop
of grass the entire year. If hay is
plenty in the spring it is better for stock
than half feed on grass, and ten times
better for the pasture.
The thOughtless farmer scarcely lets
a spear of grass stick its head above the
snow-bank before he will turn his stock
in to- eat it, and poach up the soil. And
too often both pasture and meadow get
this annual treatment. The right way
is to keep both in good, rich and pro-
ductive condition, and then keep no
more stock than will eat in suitable
time and way the products Of both. If
there be too little hay and too much
stock the grass is sure to suffer the next
spring. 1t is almost impossible to
avoid it. There must be Judgment and
wise management to make farm prof
liable. There is nothing to be let alone
nothing to take care of itself. All OF
the time and expense must not be de-
voted to the grain crop. What is plant
ed should be done well and on soil we'll
prepared for it. But in order to have a
plenty of meadow and pasture, raise
eighty bushels of corn to the acre in
stead of forty. Or raise as much on
twenty acres as you do now on forty.
1t can be done, and should be. The
acreage of all the cultivated crops can
be greatly decreased without lessening
the product. In this way the grass
Lands can be greatly increased in acre
&c, and much more time allowed to
enrich it in various ways to double its
capacity. These are not idle words.
This system of management is what this
country must come to. More corn,
more wheat and more grass on less
acres. But grass being worth as much
per acre as grain, with one-third of the
labor, it is policy and wisdom to make
the soil more productive in the various
ways which good farmers know. and
then farm to more profit with less Ia
bor.-IoWa State Register.

Old Meadows.

A correspondent has meadow which
produces about a ton Of hay per acre.
1t has been down eight years, and the
clover and timothy have died out, and
their place is occupied with June grass.
He asks whether top-dressing with barn
yard manure, and reseeding will bring
it to bear good crops.
TOp-dressing would improve it very
much, but it would, doubtless, pay bet
ter to break it up and resecd fully. 1t
would not be advisable to break it up
this spring, as the tenacious roots of the
June grass would not be likely to get
t thoroughly rotted during one summer,
if, indeed, they were all killed. 1t
would be better to NOW it this year and
break it up in the fall, and next year
fallOw it, blowing and cultivating it
often, selecting the driest weather to do
the work. This will kill and rot the
June grass roots, and enrich the ground
for new service. The seeding will best
be done about the middle of August, or
as soon as the summer drouth is about
over. The loss of a grain crop, while
preparing to reseed, will be more than
paid for in the improved condition of
the soil. Ground which has laid long
to grass becomes exhausted of available
fertility, and needs thoroughly stirring
and aerating to facilitate the solution of
the undissolved plant food, which lies
dormant in the soil, unavailable and
useless, till made soluble by exposure
to the air. 1t is not good policy to let
either pasture OF meadow lie too long
without breaking up and pulverizing
the earth anew. Modern science, and
the best practice, agree in maintaining
that the quickest and cheapest way to
enrich most soils is to thoroughly cult
vate and stir them, to hasten the de-
composition of mineral matters which
serve as plant food. What may thus
be gained by following and the rOtting
of the grass roots, will put the meadow
in question in splendid condition for
crops for series of years. We would
advise keeping this fact in mind while
working the soil.
Ashes, leached or unleached, make
an excellent fertilizer for either meadow
or pasture if sown upon ground which
is naturally dry. They are as valuable
for the grain-grOwer as the dairyman.
Leached ashes by the load are worth
about twice as much as barn-yard
manure, and unleached twenty-five
cents bushcl. The immediate effect
of ashes is not equal to that of manure,
but it continues much longer. Coal
ashes are chiefly useful for their me-
chanical effect in lOosening compact
soil. National Lire Stock Journal.

A Pathetic Scene.

ure husband. who was addicted to dogs,
should abandon them, kick them out or
otherwise dispose of them. Mr.. Bangs,
her intended, loved skye terrier above
all the other pets. The skye accompa-
MED him to the church, and there, at
the door of the sanctuary, Bangs was
compelled to take last and fond fare
well Of the little beast. Tears came to
the eyes Of the most callous and strong
hearted spectators as they noted the
fond embraces of master and dog. The
bride waited in the vestibule, but Bangs
could not tear himself from the skye
until soulless sexton snatched the pet
and bore him out of his masters sight
forever. Only the fact that the bride,
Miss Singer, of sewing machine ante
cedents. has an annual income of $780,
