But one day the brilliant Republican cam

compelled to ask his opponent for post

was granted. Before the campaign ended
he had abandoned the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate con-

stronger, cheerier and more effective with
each succeeding week. He was elected.
One evening in December while entertain

The Proper Summer Diet for Young and
Growing Pigs.

The Proper Summer Diet for Young and
Growing Pigs.
There is no better food for young pigs
after weaving than good skinned milk,
with a little sweet, moderately fine
wheat bran and corn meal stirred into
it. There should not be large proper
ton of meal in the mixture at first, nor
so long as the pig is making growth,
though corn meal is excellent to finish
off fattening with. Many young pig
has been spoiled by overlooking with
corn or corn meal. 1t is impossible to
get good growth on such food alone.
Clear milk would be better. but milk
will pay a larger profit when given in
connection with some grain. Milk
alone is rather to bulky for sole diet;
1t distends the stomach too much and
gives the animal too much to do to get
rid of the surplus water. Many young
pigs are spoiled by overlooking. When
first weaned they should be given a
little at time and often. They ALWAYS
will put footin the trough, and food
left before them long time gets so
dirty that it may be entirely unfit
to be eaten. But one of the worst
methods of feeding milk to pigs is to
have it stand in sour swirl barrel,
mixed in along with cucumber parings,-
sweet corn cobs and other kitchen
wastes, till the whole mass is far ad-
vanced in the fermentation stage.
Sweet milk is good, and milk that is
slightly sour may be better, it may be
even more easily digested, but milk that
soured until it bubbles. till the sugar in
it has turned into alcohol or into yine-
gar, is not fit food for swine of any
age. and certainly not for young pigs
that have just been taken from their
mother. A hog will endure Consider
able abuse, will live in wet and filthy
pens, will eat almost every sort of
filthy food, and often thrive fairly well.
but pig that is kept in comfortable
quarters and fed upon wholesome food
will pay a much better profit to the
owner and furnish much sweeter pork
for the barrel. Nearly all the diseases
which hogs are subject to are caused by
cold. wet pens, or by sour, inferior swili.
Better throw surplus milk away than to
keep it until it rots and then force il
down the threats of swine. Farmers
should keep swine enough to take all
the wastes of the farm while in a fresh
condition and then supplement it with
good wheat middlings and corn meal.
Our own practice has been to keep pigs
enough to take the skinned milk each
day direct from the dairy room. with
out the use ola swill barrel to store and
sour 1t In. A swill barrel in summer is
nuisance on any farm. We could
never find good place to keep it
where it would not draw flies or breed
