that these very small sums are given

Care of Brood SOws.

As we look to our brood sows for
profit in swine breeding, VT must
look after their health and comfort,
especially during the latter part of
winter and early spring. A brood
SOW should be provided with good,
clean and warm pens, not too small, as
she needs considerable exercise. She
should be fed a variety OF food, espe-
cially avoiding corn as the principal
part. See that for a week or more be-
fore narrowing time, she is not costive,
as this is the principal cause of so
many sows eating their pigs. We
should get acquainted with our brood
sows, and in cold weather be with
them at narrowing time. See that
your faro wing pen is sufficiently
warm to prevent young pigs FROM
chilling. A little assistance at this
time by the way of wiping the young
pigs with dry fl annel cloths, and help
ing them to nurse at once, and if the
weather is too cold, flannel cloth
may be gently held over them while
nursing, when after a little the fan
mel can be left on them and they will
rest comfortably. A SOW that has no
fear Of her master will pay no atter-
ton to him at this time. Many whole
litters have been lost in cold weather
for the want of little care as descr;b.
ed. For instance, litter of pigs COM
ing in cold weather without proper
care and attention, some will get to
nurse while Others will become chill
led and restless and wander around
the pen making a continuous noise,
which excites the sow, sometimes
causing her to get up and perhaps
tread on some which will increase the
excitement, and as result we have
sad sight to look on. In result of what
might have been a fine litter, we have
perhaps one or two shiverlng pigs,
with the rest scattered about the pen,
either chilled or trampled to death,
which is great damage to a young
SOW, as she should, if possible, raise a
pig to each teat in order to develop
her bag evenly. a sow that raises a
full litter the first time will most in
varIably have an even lot of pigs at
weaving time, while one that raises
only three or four at first litter. will
have at weaving time IN all future
litters, lew pigs that are larger than
the rest, as the teats that were sucked
at first will be better developed and
give larger few of milk than those
that were not. Some breeders claim
that these uneven litters come as
result Of poor breeding. While we
admit that poor breeding will cause a
breeder to have a great many poor
pigs, we know that little lack of
care a. the proper time, by way of
attention az birth, comfortable quar-
tiers, proper food, sufficient air and
exercise, etc. will cause an unequal
number. a breeder that looks well
after his brood sows and is very care
full in the selection of boar at coup
ling time, and then cares for the
young pigs at birth aud as they grow
and mature. will very rarely have a
poor pig. Strive to breed out any
little faults or defects you may notice
in your herd and bring them nearer
to your standard of excellence from
year to year, then your labor will be-
come source of pleasure as well as of
profit.

the various kinds IN their season,
might appear N abundance on their
tables, provided the necessary care
and labor should be given to produce
them. But this picture is 30. over
drawn; 1t Is, unfortunately, too true,
and it is not less true that il we INQUIRE
about the family fruit supply for
country tables we shall find this quite
as deficient. or even more so. There
is no necessItv for this condition Of
things, and it is opposed both to the
physical and financial interest OF these
families.
No part of the farm can make great
er returns for the labor snd other OK
penditures than the vegetable and
the fruit garden. If We inquire into
the cause of their neglect We shall
lind, IN many cases. that their i'm
portauce is measursbly comprehend
co, and the want Of them is felt. but
the labor and attention they REQUIRE
are some what different from that of
the farm crops, and, also, the garden
lnterieres TO some extent with the
farm work when it is not properley
planned ard managed, as for the
mos: psrt 1t might be. so as to cause
little or no inconvenience in the per
Torrance Of the regular work. And
for this purpose we now ask our coun-
try snd village readers who are direct
~ interested 10 give the necessary
thought for the preparation of good
garden at this season Of comparative
rest. What shall the garden consist
Of? How and when shall it be pre-
pared? Who shall have the direct
supervision OF il? These and other
questions can be considered and de-
cided upon, and when the time of &C.
ton comes there need be no DELAY.

Is Old Beef TOusht
Drover's Journal.

A CORES pondent says: Il wish
here to protest against the prevalent
idea that Old meat is tough. Never
was there greater fallscy. The age
of the animal has nothing to do with
it; and che fact is. the toughest and
most tasteless meat is that Of two
year-old steer, kept fat from birth
and then shipped tomarket, where he
will arrive in shrinking condition,
on the contrary, the most tender,
juicy, highest favored meat is that
of an old animal, COW, or even a work

How 10 Fatten Turkeys.

Nothing pays better 10 % sent 10
market IN prime condition than the
turkey crop. Many farmers do roi
understand this. Their turkeys grow
on limited range, get little or no
food at home during the summer, and
if fed at all with regularity it is only
two or thres week before killing. l
see these lean, bony carcasses in the
local market every winter and feel
sorry for the owners loss. Tkey have
received a small price for their birds
and still poorer price for the food
fed out. The average life Of turkey
is oul y seven moutns and the true
economy o. FEEDING is to- give the
chicks all they can digest from the
shell to the slaughter. II they get all
they can eat on the range that is well.
Usually this should BE- supplemented
by regular rations when they come
from the roo@t in the morning and
two or three hours before they go 10
roost at night. The food may be
slack L. the morning. SO tnat they
will GO to the range with good appe-
tltes, and fuller at night. They should
be put upon regular course OF fat-
teniDg food as early as the middle of
October when you propose TO Kill the
best birds at THANKSGIVING. The
younger and lighter birds should be
reserved for the Christmas and New
Years markets. They continue grow
ing quite rapidly until midwinter
and you will be well repaid for the
longer feeding.
There is nothing better for fatteR-
ing Than old corn, fed par ly in the
kernel and partly in cooked meal
mashed up with boiled potatoes. Feed
three times a day, giving the warm
zeal in Tie morning, and feeding in
troug hs with plenty of room so that
all the tlocks may have a chance.
Northern corn has more oil in ii than
southern AID is worth more for tur-
key food. Use milk in fattening if
you keep dairy farm. Feed only as
much as they will eat up clean. Guilt
vate the acquaintance Of your tu,-
keys as you feed them. No more
charming sight greets your vision IN
the whole circle of the year than a
large flock of bronze turkeFs coming
at call from their rocsts on o frosty
November morning. New corn is
very apt to make the bowels loose and
this should be guarded against. There
is usually green corn enough in the
fields to m?et their wants in the fall,
and cabbage and turnips need not be
added until winter sets in. If the
bowels get loose give them scalded
milk, which will generally correct the
evil. Well fattened and well dressed
turkeys will bring two or three cents
a pound more than the lean bird. II
will not only be better for the purse,
but for your manhood, to send moth
ing but finished products to the mar,
ket.

Magnitude of the ID airy Business.
Washington Star.

Few are aware OF the magnitude of
the dairy business and the damage to
thst business caused by the sale and
consumption OF counterfeit butter.
Statistics show that the value of the
butter. cheese and milk product In this
country last year was over $500, coo, 600
This is $3.50, 10000 more than the
entire cat crop of the country s4l0,-
600, 900 more than the pix iron prod
uct, 1857 coo, 900 more tban the iron
and steel product, Sl20,009, coo more
than the cotton crop that used TO be
called king, and 500, 100000 more
than the entire wheat crop of the
country. The amount invested in
mich cows alone is over 500 00e, 003,
which is more than the capital S ock Of
all the banking institutions In the
United States.
But this is not d question simply OF
dollars aad cents, but Of the greater
one of health, and the right Of the
people to have what they sup,
pose they are getting, and what
they pay for. Statistics show that
so, GOO, coo pounds of bogus butter was
made in this country last year, over
100000 pounds of which was
shipped from the city of Chicago
alone, and this year the probability is
that the quantity made will be much
greater

FARM NOTES.

Among agrlculturalaw thejhrm-
ing of the seed bed has become quite
the standard precept, and most farm
ers who take to talking Of wheat cult
ure mention this as an. important fac
tor, some even giving this IS the final
object to be obtained By six or seven
times narrowing before sowing. Firm
ing the soil takes prominence now
where formerly the desired attainment
was claimed 10 be a breaking up of TIE
soil particles, so that the roots could
getout of the contained plant fold, or
tue mellowing of the soil deeply for
the ad mission of air, that its ammonia
might be caught up and nitric acid
formed, and other desired chemical
&C ions promoted. Even the powder
ing of the silica of the plant has been
given as sufficient end for extra till
age.
A pIowman Says there are several
easy ways to prevent rusting of plows
and cultivators and TO keep the teeth
bright. One is TO give them coat of
thick Imewash as soon as they are
brought in from the field. Another
is II dissolve an ounce OF rosin in 4
ounces of iinseed oil, and while hot
NIX with quart Of kerosene and
stir veil. It's il laid on the smooth
iron with paint brush. Aaother
way is te dissolve an ounce of cam
phor in some turpentine and add to
to this four ouEc.s of pufverized black
lead or stove polish and mix well.
This may be rubbed on with q rag. To
remove rust from tools Or plows moth
ing is better than a mixture Of half
pint of oil OF vitroil poured slowly in
to quart of water, and apply this to
the rusted metal. Wash off with
water.
L!nseed meal is Laxative, while cot
ton-seed meal is the reverse. This use
of the former in the feed of horses, if
given in small quantities, three times
week, viii loosen the skin and
greatly assist the animal in condition.

fed more literally to mich cows and
growing stock.
In the feeding experiments al the
Kansas Agricultural College there &C.
CURED unintentionally a condition
that furnished fair test OF the effect
of temperature on fattenIng pigs. Ten
pigs were fed; nine were protected,
while one CHANGED to be in a proiec-
ton of the pen, leaving it wholly ex-
posed, In January there was a
severe cold spell. and the exposed pig
lost exactly SIX pounds in weight,
while each of the other nine that
were protected gained N amounts
varying from FIVE to ten pounds each.
This little circumstance is sufficient
TO show the importance OF keeping
fattening pigs WARM, or perhaps what
is equally as well and which If fol-
lowed by many, fatten before any
severe winter arrives
