Hogs can be kept as free from
disease as other farm animals, and
all that is required to do this are
the same hygienic conditions and
the same intelligent, rational treat
ment that is accorded to sheep, cat
tie and horses. Clean ground food,
pure water, clean quarters and
troughs, well ventilated shelters,
mature animals only for breeders,
these are essentials of health and
thrift in swine.
In common with all animals, hogs
need a variety OF food, and this is
rarely found in the fattening pen.
Here there is too often nothing but
corn. Make variety in some way.
Turnips and pumpkins should
always be raised tor the fattening
hogs; AID in addition they should
be fed waste potatoes and apples.

n-Breedlng.

There is no doubt bat that in
breeding fixes types and 1t hxeS
other things also. 1t is "A nice thing
to know Just how far ln-breeeins
can be safely carried. There Is one
law which always goes with II,
,reekness. the outward form may not
show it ut all, and the bodily growth
and development may appear all
right, but be not deceived; there Is
a latent weakness, ifnot develop
ed one. ltmay all be internal and
is quite likely to be in the lungs,
digestion, heart, or nerves.
Inbred animals will not bear the
exposure or any of the privations
that these of stronger blood will ell
dure. They are more liable to di-
sease, and to break down from
slight causes. This is not theory.
We have tested these things and
made careful observations. Swine
will show the deleterious effects OF
in breeding the soonest of any AMI
mails. The human family stand
first on account ofthe mental equili-
brium tc be maintained, which close
blood does not sustain. The same
law is measurably true with animals.
There may not be detormity OF
body but there will always be a
week point, and stupidity in brain
faculties We are sorry to see so
much close breeding in Jerseys.
There will be sorry fruits by and by,
Jersey breeders talk about the high
percentages of some one popular
blood, il, an animal, just as though
they Were talking smart and sensi-
BILE, when in reality they are adver-
Using their own folly, which some
day they will harvest.

Hens are early risers, and do not
like standing around on one foot
waiting for their breakfast. The
morning meal is the most import
ant one Of the day.
One reason why pullets do not
lay in the fall is that they are fed
with the fattening fowls, and the
food is not suitable for egg produc-
ton.
To prevent the hens pulling their
feathers feed meat and keep them
busy at work scratching for their
grain food. All kinds of fowls will
pull feat lers if kept closely confin-
ed and not kept busy with exercise.
Two points in winter feeding are
of the utnos: importance. The first
is to avoid feeding warm stimulating
food, and the other is, force the
fowls to take plenty of exercise
while securing their food.

Transplantlng.

The question is asked if it makes
any difference whether the same side
of the tree is set to the north as it
stood iii the nursery. In answer,
we may state that abundant exper.
fence shows that no difference what
ever occurs however the trees may
be set, ii it is only few years old;
but in removing old trees, which
have stood for many years, the
same side should be set to the sun
as before. The bark OH the north
side, having for long time remain
ed in the shade, will not always
bear the suns rays so well as the
side which has been long insued to
them, and sometimes, not always,
the shaded bark is injured, black
ened or killed by the sudden expos
ure. 1t is not often that such large
trees are removed, but when they
are, it is safest to preserve the same
points Of the compass.

Five Good Rules.

First, never lose any time. l do
not think that lost which is spent in
amusement or recreation some time
every day; but always be in the
habit of being employed. Second,
never err the least in truth. Third,
never say any i'll thing of any per
son, when you can say a good thing
of them; not only speak charitably,
but feel so. Fourth, never indulge
Yourself in luxuries that are not
necessary. Fifth, do all things
with consideration, and when your
path to act right is more difficult,
feel confidence in that Power which
is able to assist You, and exert your
own powers as far as they will go.

Farm Notes.

NOt0os
The total land surface in Maine
is 10, 132, 800 acres, of which amount
34.2 per cent, or a little more than
one-third, is included in the farms
of the state.
Eggs packed in salt took the first
prize offered for preserved eggs at
Birmingham (England) Dairy show
last year. The salt and lime meth
cd is the one most used by the large
dealers.
Feed the morning meal to your
fowls warm. Scald the meal, boil
and mash the potatoes or turnips,
and mix these for the early days
feed.
Oats and rye are very similar to
each other in composition. To
make a good feed for horses, corn
should be mixed with them. A
bushel of rye, two bushels of oats
aud five of corn, ground together,
will make excellent food.
The common idea is that any one
can farm. No greater mistake can
be made. 1t requires the highest
intelligence and many other good
qualities to make successful agri-
culturist.
To cure black knot in plum and
cherry trees, cut out excrescences
and give the wound a coating Of
turpentine or wash it with strong
solution of chloride of lime.

In commencing the feeding of
grain to sheep this winter let the
start be made on limited quantity
and be gradually increased as the
animals become more used to grain
rations Too large a quantity at
first may cause fever and loosen the
wool, or make brittle place in the
fleece.
Sheep should have salt frequently
and regularly, but it is not always
best to allow them constant access
to it, especially those that are close.
ly confined and highly fed. Too
much salt will induce scours, and
there are always a few animals
which will eat more of it than is
good for them.
