Early Patching Of Animals.

From the American Agricultural.
It is quite as important to fatten and
market economically the products of the
farm, Us it is to raise them. A pound of
beef,pork or poultry, can be made much
c seaper in the early ::fall months, than
later in the season, when large part Of
the rations must go to keep up animal
heat. There is no sleight of hand in
laying fat upon an animals carcass. 1t
must come out of good, .honest food in
the rations fed. The temperature in the
latter part Ofsummer and early autumn
il in favor of the best use of all the fat
tening articles Of food, while there is
enough OF green food to sharpen the an.
petite, aud keep up good digestion. We
have found green corn stalks, especially
sweet corn, an excellent article in the
stye, to be fed in connection with corn
on the cob, and corn meal, and other
rations. We have never seen pork made
more rapidly than with this kind of
feeding. 1t will be safe to feed all that
the swine will eat up c]ean:and no more.
Slack up the feed q little when anything
is left in the trough. This will require
u little attention, but the pigs will grow
80 fast, that one can afford to linger by
the stye few minutes, once a day, to
see the fat accumulate. Corn is high
this season and we want to make the
best use of it.
The best poultry men We know begin to
give extra iced in September. when they
mean to kill in November. The Thanks.
giving market is pretty sure to be good
one, and brings ready cash. The small
potatoes boiled, and mixed with Indian
meal and not water, make an excellent
feed for turkeys and other poultry. The
rations OF corn and other grain, I'M
ground, may be reserved to the last few
weeks Of life. Turkeys should have
their liberty all through the extra feed
ing. Some poultrymen shut up their
geese and ducks, but We doubt the
economy of this method. With Il
good run they will have a great
er variety of food, and thrive better with
an access to a pasture with pond or
brook, while they are receiving full feed
for market. All that the iatteniDg ami
mails will eat clean is good rule for the
last month of feeding.

people Of New-England plant their gar.

should be planted soon as possible after
the frost Is ont, and the late garden not

Many women entertain theories as to

few care to record their methods in a

Cheap Water Filter.

Very many families desire some mex.
pensive device for flterine 10 and
other waters to be used for cooking and
table use. A cheap and very efficient
filter may be made by using a spirit or
wine cask. placing it on end, with the
head removed, and having = faucet at
the bottom to draw off the clear water.
To fit it for filter, take the removed
top bead of the cask, and with small
bit bore holes all over it, then place
four clean bricks or blocks of wood on
the bottom, and on these rest the per-
forated top. Now fill upon it about four
inches of charcoal chop ped into small
bits the size of peas, and over this place
. layer of clean sand six inches deep.
Impure water poured into the cask on
top of the sand will become clean and
sparkling after little while, or as soon
the charcoal and sand. This filter will
not need renewing oitener than once in
two or three months.-Science News.
