at first on warm or cooked feed, composed
of middlings, corn meal, artichokes, or
other roots, with q small quantity of lin
seed meal or cotton seed meal. If nice,
thrifty pigs are wanted, the sows must
give plenty of rich milk, and they must
be fed very literally. Especial pains
should be taken to get the pigs to eating
as soon as possible, and a separate pen
with small troughs and suitable feed
should be regularly provided for them.
Remember that pork well started is half
made. The pigs should be kept grow
ing, so that they may weigh 300 pounds
or more before the list of the next De
cember at which time they should be
butchered. do not think it pays to
winter any hogs except choice breeders.
The profits of hog-raising will be
much increased if such crops are fed as
the hog can harvest for themselves
Artichokes give as cheap food as clover,
and they can be utilized for winter feed
ing when there is no green clover. Bous
singault, the French chemist, proves by
analysis and numerous feeding tests, that
artlchokes are worth more than turnips
for feeding stock; that they are equal to
potatoes, and worth half as much as corn,
while they yield at least twelve times as
much as corn, with no more cost for
labor in cultivating. The artichoke patch
should be as near the pens as possible,
and small portion Of the patch fenced
off with a portable fence at time to en-
courage clean digging. The hogs should
at all times have access to the artichokes
but a few should he dug each fall and
piled in the cellar or near the pens, COW
cred with straw and boards, for feeding
in the pens when the ground is frozen.
When clover comes the allowance of corn
and other feed can be somewhat de-
creased, although it never pays to stint
your pigs. Two patches of artichokes are
necessary; one to be kept in cultivation
while the other is occupied by the hogs.
Chufas, or earth Almonds can be used
for fattening hogs in the fall, and the
hogs will willingly do all the digging;
but artichokes, clover and green corn
feed, stalks and all, are the best thing to
make pork with. OF course some corn
should he husllcd for the last few weeks
Of feeding in the pens. ArtiChOkes
cooked with the feed for young pigs will
nearly take the place of skinned milk.
But the most important thing to bear in
mind is that the pigs must be kept con-
stantly growing by providing warm, clean
pens, and feeding literally with a variety
Of feed best suited to their age and con
dition
Make the hogs do nearly all Of the
harvesting of their own feed. Utilize
clover and the grasses as much as posi-
bic for the summer feeding; have your
hogs ready for market before very cold
weather comes. When the hogs are fat
and the weather cool butcher them at
once, and if the price is too low put TO
pounds of fresh pork in a barrel with
plenty of rock salt, and you will have
300 pounds Of mcrchantable salt pork,
which you can keep to sell at any time

AZ a convention of Iowa dairymen the
folloWin" hints were elected: Blue grass
and white clover are the best forage
plants for dairy pastures. For winter
feed give two-thirds corn and onc-third
oats, substituting bran when the latte is
high An Illinois dairyman feeds green
corn fodder when COWS begin to fail in
summer: in winter he feeds ground corn,
oats and bran in equal parts with Hun
garian lie thinks Hungarian superior
to timothy, and that potatoes, turnips,
etc, are not suitable to produce good
butter. In regard to washing butter
different creameries have different plans.
One dairyman detailed his plan, which
he found to produce the best results, his
butter bringing the highest prices in the
city Of New York. His plan is to get
the butter in the tubs thirty minutes
after leaving the churn. After drawing
off the buttermilll he puts in as much
water at a temperature of fifty degrees
rs there was cream, Washc, all the but
termilk out puts on the butter worker,
salts with one ounce to the pound, all at
once. He docs not care about compact
ness, but there must be no milk in the
butter. That is the point which he in
sists is the most important. lie churns
at temperature of siXty-threc degrees i'll
winter and ffty-eight degrees in summer.
The cause of white humps and ilccks in
butter was considered and the conclusion
arrived at was that white Jumps are pro-
duccd by washing the butter AT too low
a temperature, and that white flccks are
the result of too much acidity in the
cream.
One plan for preparing cream for
churning was as follows: The cream
gathered each day was put into a vat and
warmed to siXty-tiyc degrees. At this
point it was held twenty four to thirty-siX
hours, when the whey was drawn off and
the cream churncd. A few favored this
plan, but the ajority were ayersc to al
lowing the cream to reach that condition
before chuming one New York dealer
vigorously opposing the sour-crcam sys-
TEN, and predicting that the day is not
far distant when all marketable butter
will be made from sweet cream. \ very
successful dairyman stated that he brings
his cream to q certain state of acidity,
but not TO the point where they separate,
and gets more butter in this way than he
can from sweet cream. AS to the man
ner Of delivering cream to the factories
it was the Judgment of some of the
speakers that what is wanted to make the
system great success is a refrigerator
wagon that will carry cream without
change of its temperature.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD,
Wood 4 she's.

Wood ashes are one of the most valu-
able fertilizers that farmer can apply to
his soil Ash from the wood of the
beach is said by chemists to contain
ninctysix pounds of potash, thirty three
pounds of lime, six pounds OF magncsia,
three pounds of phosphoric acid, beside
sulphuric acid to the bushel of sixty
pounds. From this it will be seen how
great their manuiial value is. For root
crops of all kinds, grasses, clover, etc,
they will be found just what is needed
to stimulate and feed the crop. The ash
is the mineral element of any vegetable
structure, and therefore indispensable to
its growth. The farmer who will sell
his ashes is actually parting with 50
much of the fertility of his farm. AS
an application to reclaim marsh land, the
effect of ashes is often wonderful. The
burnt lands in the Huron peninsula will
have their productiveness greatly in
creased by the burning of the forests
that covered them; and farmers there
will receive great benefit in the future
from the clearing of the lands and the
depOsiting of the ashes from the burned
forest upon them. -.NichigaH Farmer.

What the Matter Was.

Johann Strauss, the composer, has
been troubled for some time by severe

attributed to fatty accumulations around

friend of the composer and his family.
being called into a consultation, came to
the conclusion that the diagnosis that
had been taken was incorrect, and that
the musicians illness was caused by eX-
ceSsiye smoking of strong cigars; and
this view has been proved correct by the
results OF treatment designed to counter
act the poisonous effects of nicotine.
There is probably no country in which
the medical profession are themselves so
much addicted to the use of tobacco and
where the injurious effects of the use of
the weed upon the human system are so
little understood as in Germany, pre-
