SOillNG THE HOGS.
A Method Which Should he introduced
by Every Progressive Farmer,

A Method Which Should he introduced
by Every Progressive Farmer.
There is one point in favor of the hog
which is not placed always to its credit.
and that is, unlike the horse, COW OF
sheep, it produces a number of young
at one birth. This fact enables those
who mako hog raising speciality to
rapidly increase such stock, and cheap.
ems the cost of production by reducing
the number of sources from which the
increase is derived. Taking this into
consideration, and also that the hog
will cat any thing that may be pro.
duced upon the farm, he is more
valuable animal than is ascribed to him.
Although the hog may be made to pro.
duce pork at a low cost, yet our farmers
have, as rule, for generations, adopted
the most expensive methods of feeding
that could be devised, and in so prac-
ticing they have also partially changed
the nature of the animal in order to
conform it to the requirements OF a
concentrated diet. May not this have
something to do with the introduction
of new diseases that cause disaster to
the swine Industry We believe the
time will come when corn will not be
fed SO lavishly, and that some other
kind of a hog will be preferred TO that
which Is always indolent and in con-
stantly diseased condition.
But while the clover pasture is recon-
mended as the best place for growing
hogs, our farmers are averse to allow
ing them to run upon it. Where there
are cows and other stock that demand
the pasture the hog has no place with
them. He can not be turned upon tho
pasture without ring in his snout to
prevent him from tearing up the earth,
and yet the roots to him are more pref
cradle than the stalks and leaves. We
think the better plan is to soil the swine
in q large yard, cutting grass and
weeds, and feeding all material that is
collected on the farm that would other
wise be wasted. Fed In this manner,
and on variable diet, meal of corn
once day would not be lost, while the
manure saved will pay we'll for the
labor. But for the fact that most farm
crs dread the labor required, soiling the
hogs would be an established method,
yet the manure from large herd, in
one year alone, would almost pay tho
expenses Of every thing but food

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins, and lower
part Of the abdomen, causing the patient
to suppose he has some election of the
kidneys or neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestions are present,
flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing
q very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
