Converting Corn Into Pork.

Farm, Field and Stockman.
Pork and corn seem to be inseparable arti
cles. But unless the corn is properly fed the
pork will be expensive. Corn and pork only
90 together when it is desirable to fatten the
hogs. If corn is used in any other manner,
or for different purpose, the pork becomes
a very expensive product. We do not advo-
cate feeding corn in the summer to any class
of stock, and experience shows that while it
is invaluable to the pork raiser, and the most
convenient article he can use, pork can be
produced more cheaply when the corn is fed
in a judicious manner. Many farmers,
though aged, do not know that clover hay
can be fed with advantage to hogs
and yet such is the fact. We have
long separated the hog from all other
classes of stock, and denied him the privi-
leges of being fed on grass, outlay, ground
oats and other food that is more acceptable
to him during his growing period than corn,
and the consequence is that he fails under
the loDg-contInued diet of corn, and be-
comes susceptible to diseases that were be-
fore unknown. To keep the steer stuffed
with dry corn, which Is a concentrated food
and deprive it OF bulky provender of pure
water, would cause il to succumb in a short
time, vet this is just the treatment the hog
is compelled to undergo, simply because
corn is king" and supposed to be cheap,
when the fact is that when fed under such
circumstances it is very costly. What the
hog requires is a variety. including bulky
food, and corn will then perform an i'm
pOrtant service.

To Build a Cheap SiIo.

Whatever cheapens the cost of the silo, or

the introduction of the method, especially

College have shown that balloon frame of

outside with matched boards, and lined on
the inside with two thicknesses of one inch
matched boards, with layer of tarred paper
between them, thus securing partially air
tight enclosure, surrounded by a dead-air
space as protection against frost, is the best
and cheapest form of construction. If the
boards and timbers are satuated with not

of the silo viii be very much increased.
Silos are, in these respects, similar to ice
houses, their usefulness does not increase

How to Disappoint a Balhy Horse.

The Fitchburg Sentinel tells how a Leo
minister farmer cured his horse of a balky
freak by gentle means. He drove him, at
tached to a rack wagon, to the wood lot for a
small load of wood. The animal would not
pull pound. He did not beat him, but tied
him to a tree and "let him stand" He went
to the lot at sunset, and asked him to draw,
but he would not staighten tug.
81 made up my mind, said the farmer,
when that horse went to the barn, he would
take that load of wood. / went to the barn,
got blankets, and covered the horse warm,
and he stood until morning. Then he re-
fused to draw. At noon 1 went down, and
he was probably hungry and lonesome. He
drew that load of wood the first time asked
him. / returned and got another load before
l fed him. then rewarded him with q good
dinner, which he eagerly devoured. 1 have
drawn several loads since. Once he refused
to draw; but as soon as he saw me start for
the house he started after me with the load.
A horse becomes lonesome and discontinued
when left alone, as much as person, and /
claim that this method, if rightly used. is
better for both horse and man than to beat
the animal with a club"

MUNICH, June 19.-The excitement among the
Bavarian people over the death OF King Ludwig
remains una bsted. The lower classes up to the
hour Of the funeral to-day thronged the gates of
the royal palace, awaiting admission to the
chapel and exhibiting all the signs of sincere
gTlef and sympathy. People from the country
and the mountains fOcked into the city all day

ring for some service. When he reached the
coffin in the palace chapel he 1ell on his knees

Fruit Notes.
American Agriculturist.l


Newly planted trees usually have a strug-
gle for existence this month. twill be wise
to mulch these before dry weather begins.
The object of amulch is to prevent evapora-
ton of moisture from the soil, hence litter
of any kind, chip dirt, or even stones, will
answer. If the surface of the soil OF the
orchard can be frequently stirred and kept
light this will answer the same purpose as
mulching. Early varieties of apples and
pears keep but a short time after they are
gathered, and are readily bruised. If as
sorted and properly packed in crates they are
often more profitable than later kinds. The
greater the distance from market the harder
should peaches be when gathered, The
fruit should be firm when it reaches the
market. If strawberries are in rows, remove
the mt lch, cut OFF the runners and give a
dressing Of fine manure or some good fertil-
izer; pull up any weeds that are in the rows,
and return the mulch to keep down weeds.
If the soil can be kept cultivated the mulch
need not be returned until cold weather. AS
soon as pot-layered plants ara well estab-
lished set them out; continue to layer them.
Thinning the fruit to the extent of one
third or one-half will pay with choice ap-
Piles or pears Blight attacks without warn
ing; cut away the branch, or tree, as the case
may be, and burn.

Clover-Sick Land.
Farmers Magazine.l

Sir John Lawes asc-ibes what is called
'clover- sickness to the plant not having
accumulated a sufficient store of food in its
roots during the first year of its growth.
This, he explains, may happen from a
variety of causes-such as the roots of pre-
vious crops taking some years to decay, and
the want of sufficient alkaline salts in the
subsoil. He lays particular stress on the
fact that all our agricultural operations tend
TO accumulate the food of plants close to the
surface of the soil, while it is only such solu-
tie salts chlorldes and nitrates of soda
and lime which pass quickly in
to the subsoil and are car
ried away in the drainage water.
He also points out the fact that deep-root-
ing plant like clover, feeding on lime, has
little chance against creeping-rooted plant
like couch-grass, which feeds on silica, a far
more abundant product in most soils. 1t is
to be remembered, however, that there are
many forms of ''clover-sickness," and proba-
bly, as many different causes. One form of it
is due TO fungus, and "clover fungus" is
more common than is generally supposed.
Some German observers hold that clover
sickness is due to parasites in the soil, but
they have adduced no positive evidence of
this. AS, however, "beet-sickness'' has, in
certain instances, been traced to parasites in
the soil, it is quite within the range of posi-
bility that the future of clover may some
times result from a similar cause.
