ally increasing so as to get the hogs on
full feed by the time the corn is ripe.
Aside from the fact that it requires
much less food to produce pound OF
pork in warm than in cold weather,
there is the further advantage of hav-
ing your stock ready early, to enable
you to take advantage of good prices
l have often known farmers to sell
hogs in October for more than they
would have brought if fed two months
longer. There is no question that the
cheapest pork is made from young
animals and the best way to feed a
pig is to keep in gaining rapidly from
the start. This has been demon
strated repeatedly. One experiment
conducted at the Michigan Agricultur-
al College, was continued for twenty
weeks, divided into five equal periods.
During the first four weeks it required
3.81 lb. of meal to make pound of
gain in live weight, the pigs being two
months old when the experiment. be-
gan. The second period, 4.O5 lbs;
third, 4.22 lbs.; fourth, 5.24 lbs;
fifth, 5.98 lbs. Other experiments at
the same school showed practically
the same results.
From long experience in the care of
hogs deduce the following as the re
quisites of profitable pork making: 1.
Good stock. 2. Good care, which i'm
plies intelligence and humanity in
treatment, and that the pigs be kept
thrifty from the start. 8. As rule
the shortest period in which we can
attain given weight will give the
greater profit, exceptions tc this rule
being when hogs are wanted to con-
sumo clover or to follow cattle. A. By
a judicious use of grass and other
green or bulky food the cost of pork
can be reduced. 5. A greater gain can
be made in a given time by feeding
slop from mill feed in connection with
corn than from corn alone. 6. 1t costs
much less to make given weight of
pork in warm than in cold weather.

THE FARM AND FIRESIDE.
Some Recipes.

MoLEs.-To remove these, seat the
patient in a clear, strong sunlight.
With sun-glass, costing from $3.50
to SIS, brings the concentrated rays of
the sun'to bear on the excrescsnce for
five or ten minutes. In three Or tour
weeks the mole will scale off and q new
skin come on. If the mole should not
be entirely removed by the first appli-
cation, repeat. No scar will be left.
This is vouched for by a physician
who has tried it repeatedly.
LEMONS FOR MALARA.-Dr. Crud-
ELI, of Rome, gives the following di-
rections for preparing a remedy for
malaria which may be worth trying,
as it is said to have proved efficacious
when quinine has given no relief. Cut
up a lemon, peel and pulp, in thin
slices, and boil it in a pint and half
of water until it is reduced to half O.
pint. Strain through a linen cloth,
squeezing the remains of the boiled
lemon, and set it aside until cold.
The entire liquid is taken fasting.
My Remedy for Indigestion.-I had
dyspepsia SO bad that lost 25 lbs. in
about three months. Take rennet, as
prepared for making cheese, cut off a
piece of the dried two inches square, or
about that, and soak it in a gill of
water with 1-2 teaspoonful of salt.
Soak it half an hour before meal; and
drink it off, ten minutes after eating.
Eat meals regular; nothing between
meals, and not too full meals, it is a
lack of gastric juice, and the rennet
acts as substitute. I only took it
about ten days, then had not occasion
to take it again for six months. A
great many Of my friends, and stran-
gers have given theremedy have been
cured byit.
EGG PE.-Good for dinner and in
stead of meat. Make two very thin
cakes of Indian meal, flour and soda,
just as for any corn bread, and wet it
with sour milk, and bake them in a
quick oven. Make gravy of one tea
spoonful of butter, the same of flour,
a cup of milk, and salt and pepper.
When it is boiling drop in cold, sliced,
hard-boiled eggs; leave them in long
enough to heat, but don't let them
boil up or they will fall to pieces.
Butter one of the hot Indian cakes,
lay it in a round pan or dish, pour on
the gravy and eggs, and lay on the
other cake, buttering it on the top and
sprinkling on pepper and salt.

Clover.the Great Restorer. !

American Rural Home
In many sections of the country
clover has long been considered the
king of green manures-the great re-
storer of fertility on over-cropped
worn out lands. An Ohio farmer
AYERS that hundreds of farms-and he
might truly have said thousands and
myriads-that were about worthless
have been rescued from dilapidation
and ruin by clovering. It is an accept
ed truism that as long as "clover will
CATCH" the farm can soon be restored
to paying fertility, and by a good ro-
tation is even getting more productive
and profitable; for after some years OF
such treatment the land will bear
harder farming-that is, two or three
crops may succeed a good crop of
clover before laying down to clover
again. Rough, new land should be
subdued by the use of large clover.
Nothing so effectually rots out stumps
and kills weeds and sprouts, and pre-
pares the land for the plow and good
paying crops.
Wild, new lands should always have
it sown on the first grain crop put
down. 1t saves q vast amount OF
labor. for in few years it so tames
the ground and clears it of enemies to
the plow that it works like old ground
and is good for full crops. One great
error is often fallen into, and that is
following the old tradition that a
bushel of clover seed will do for eight
acres That may have been enough
to clover land partially when it was
new, but whoever aims at getting up
his land in speedy and profitable
way should SOW a bushel on four
acres, so that his land may be thor
oughly shaded.

What Not to do for Sick People.

Don't make fuss. Don't hustle,
don't fidget, don't prognosticate.
Don't hold consultations in or about
the patient room, recounting all your
own and your neighbor's experiencein
what you suppose to have been like
cases. Don't NEEDLE and advise and
experiment. We all need great deal
more letting alone than we get, and
when we are sick it is one of our prime
needs. If mortuary lists were honest
ly tabulated, weshould find that more
people have been bored to death than
have died from neglect. The pest of
the sick room is the inevitable friend
who drops in to "cheer up" the pa
tient, the glistening eyes and flushed
cheeks which such ministrationsevoke
being hailed as the evidence of success
by the well-meaning persecutor.
Don't tease the patient with ques-

BUCKwHEAT FOR HORSE FEED

therefore be good feed for horses. In

Table Manners.

Good manners at the table are al
most an infallible evidence of refine
ment and careful breeding. A safe
general rule to be followed there, as
we'll as elsewhere, is that of considera-
tion for the feelings of those about you
"a desire to avoid giving offense by
uncouth or coarse actions. 1t is well,
however, to remember the following
timely precepts: Eat and drink leis
urely, and without noise-it is not
appetizing to have the hog-trough and
it's accompaniments brought vividly
to mind at meal. Do not scrape
your plate, tilt it up to get the last
drop, or wipe it dry with a piece of

you mix messes on your plate, it looks
as if your desire for hash had not been.
gratifed. Carrying your mouth to
the food instead of the food to your
mouth, indicates an acquaintance
with chop sticks or something worse,
Taking chicken or other bones in your
fingers is uneoiIth and might imply
ignorance of the uoe of knivessand,
forks. Loud talking, or mysterious
whispered conversation are both in
bad taste for obvious reasons. Discus
sions of distempers, medical treat
ment, etc., is trenching on dangerous
ground. Avoid sneezing by pressing
your finger against your upper lip un-
der the nose. Keep your elbows at
your sides and your hands in your lap
when you are not eating, and do not
lounge in any way, or tip back your
chair. Many other points OF etiquette
must be learned by observation
