SWill for Young Pigs.

There Is no better food for young pigs after
weaning than good SKINNED milk with 1T
tie sweet, moderately fine wheat bran and
corn meal stirred into It. There should not be
a large proportion of meal in the mixture at
first, nor so long as the pig Is making growth,
though corn meal is excellent to finish Off fat
spoiled by over feeding with corn or corn
meal 1t is impossible to get q good growth
on such food alone. Clear milk would be bet
ter, but milk pays larger profit when given
rather too bulky for n sole dict; 1t distcnds
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 over. feeding.
tie at a time and often. They always will put
n foot in the trough. and food left before them
a long time gets so dirty that 1t may he entire
ly unit to be eaten. But one of the worst
methods of feeding milk to pigs to have 1t
stand in sour swill barrel, mixed in along
with cucumber parings, sweet c0bs, and other
kitchen wastes. Till the whole mass is far ad-
Vanced In the fermentation state. sweet milk
is good, and milk that Is slightly sour may be
better, IL may be even more easily dlSSested:
but milk that has soured till 1t bubbles, till
the sugar in 1t has turned into alcohol or into
vinegar is not a fit food for swine Of any age,
and certainly not for young pigs that have
just been taken from their mother. hog
will endure considerable abuse, will live in
wet and filthy pens, will eat almost every
sort Of food, and often thrive fairly well, but
fed upon wholesome food will pay u much bet
ter profit to the owner, and much Swceter
pork for the barrel. Nearly all the diseases
which hogs are subject TO are caused by cold,
wet pens, or by sour. inferior swill. Better
throw surplus milk away than keep 1t Till IT
rots, and then force 1t down the throats Of
swine. Farmers should keep swine enough 10
take all the wastes of the farm while In q
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 without the use of Il swill bar
rel to store and sour ii in. a swill barrel in
summer is a nuisance on any farm. We could
never find good place to keep it, where 1t
would not draw flies or breed flies. In winter
1t would be less Objectionable, but it is nni-
sance at all times and In all placcs.-NeW En-

Improve Your Swine.
Cotton Plant.

A pig that will make go pounds In ten
hogs viii cost too much, as they do not diges
and assimilate their food. and hence must ea1
more than the pure bred hogs in order to at
tain the same weight. Therefore improve the
swine. The cost OF young boar Is q very
small sum compared with the increase in the
weight. 1t requires but a few moments cal
culation to discover the difference between
feeding good and inferior stock. The gain o.
only Is pounds on single hog will otlen pay
pound gained In proportion 10 feed allowed Is
clear profit. We arc surprised that farmers
have not noticed this long ago.

sickness and adversely. A noble dog, which
belonged to a colnrade who died in the line OF
his duty, became the pet and protege Of tho
society, and was made useful in collecting for
the widows and orphans fund in the way

travel upon all trains along the line, was
everywhere welcome, and favorite.

The Eggs That Mover Hatch.
There's young man on the corner,
Filled with life and strength and hope,
Looking far beyond the present,
With the whole world in his scope.
He is grasping at tomorrow,
That phantom none can catch;
To-day is lost, He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder
With worn and weary face,
With searching, anxious feature,
And weak, uncertain race.
He is living in the future,
With no desire to catch
The golden now. He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's world of men and women,
With their life's work yet undone,
Who are sitting, standing, moving
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future,
But not content to snatch
The present. They arc waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
