The popular idea that a hog can not
hurt itself by overlooking is erroneous.
Even if fattening, it is better to give
only what can be eaten up clean at one
time and at regular intervals. 1t the
feeding occurs at stated times each day,
the hogs will lie down and sleep in the
intervals, and this will fatten them
faster and be more healthful than keep
ing food before the animals all the time.
A mess of partially-eaten food left in
his trough is distateful even to a hog,
and makes him eat less in quantity and
with less relish than he otherwise would.

If water can be kept on the floor
within the reach of every COW in the sta
bleS, so much the better, and in the we'll
arranged barns of modern times this is
provided for; the more dry food the COW
consumes, the more water she will re-
quire, and itf therefore, follows that a
plentiful supply of pure spring water is
as essential in winter as during the hot
months of summer; indeed, nearly all
farm animals drink more water in win
ter than in summer, because during the
grass-growing season the water con-
tanned in green food forms a good sub
stitute, and makes water less of neces-
sity. Chicago Tribune.
Many farmers think that rs soon as
wagon felloes begin to shrink they must
go at once to blacksmith shop and get
the tire set. Instead of doing that
(Which is often damage to the wheels,
causing them to dish,) if they will get
some linseed oil, and heat it boiling hot,
and give the felloes all the oil they can
take, it will fill them up to their usual
size and tighten to keep them from
shrinking, and also to keep out the wa
ter. If you do not wish to go to the
trouble of mixing paint, you can heat
the oil and tie a rag to a stick and swab
them over as long as they will take oil.
