MANAGEMENT OF BREEDING
SOWS.

Journal of the Royal Agricultural
Society Of England contains Informal
ton that, being based on practical
experience, cannot fail to be useful.
He says on this point:
mo branch Of the subject is OF
more Importance than the manage
of breeding sows. After being served
they should have plenty Of exercise
in roomy yard or paddock; they
should be fed with a little bran or
pollard mixed with slops or wash
from the house in summer they
should have food-grass tares or
prickly comfrey. [ may mention
that well-fed pigs, getting up for
show, are exceedingly fond of com
frey-it is first rate food for any
kind Of pig. 1t grows luxuriantly,
and yields a constant supply through
out the summer. In winter, breed
ing sows should have a few wurzel
or turnips; but as they get near
to farrowing any green food must
be given sparingly, particularly if
the roots are at all frozen; and If
frozen much they should not be
given at all. When within three
weeks Of farrowing, with a view to
the secretion of milk, the wash or
food should be improved by the
addition of little bran or shorts, and
a little oat meal may be added with
advantage. It is desirable that the
food should not be changed immedi-
ately before or after narrowing.
When within a week or ten days of
narrowing the SOW should be put
into the Sly in which she is intended
to farrow, so that she may become
accustomed to the place. The feeder
should in all cases be with her when
narrowing and not a stranger, for
the voice or manner Of a stranger is
at once detected, and often unsettles
a SOW, which frequently results in
loss. Very little straw should be
given within a week Of narrowing,
and that quite short. [ do not
recommend chatf or cut straw, as
some breeders do have found it a
hindrance to the young during the
first day or two, through sticking to
their eyes and noses, whilst straw
which has been trampled by the
sows for a few days is both soft
and warm, and presents no obstacle
to the young pigs readily finding
the teats. Numbers Of pigs are lost
through bedding with long straw
before the SOW farrows. The
indications Of farrowing are very
apparent-the teats fill with milk,
the bearing or uterus presents a
swollen and red appearance, hollows
appear on either side Of the tail,
caused by the loosening or parting
Of the bones on either side of the
womb passage; the SOW also collects
available litter into a heap, called !
g. making their bed;" many sowsl
their food, and the appetite of
all diminishes. Pigs, of all animals,
require the least help during partu-
and the wisest course lis to
leave them to themselves. Az soon
as the SOW has farrowed and the
has come away, give (if
cold weather) a little chilled food,
but feed sparingly for the first two
adding to the food, after the
first day, a little opening orlpurging
medicine-say two ounces of salts
and two ounces flour Of sulphur.
This dose, while in nowise endan-
a change in the milk, will
keep the bowels open-a very neces-
sary condition at this period,-Lire

REMOVING DEAD BRANCHES.

Before all the leaves have fallen is
a good time to go through the
orchard and remove all the dead
branches. Although no sap passes
through them, there is always some
evaporation from their surface, and
their presence is a constant drain on
the vitality Of the tree. They may
be left where they fall during the
Winter, thus holding the snow from
being blown away, and becoming a
help rather than an injury.

COST OF ORANGE GROVES.

COST OF ORANGE GROVES.
A man in Los Angeles, CAL, who
has seven acres ~of-oranges jus, com
ing into bearing, says that up to
this time he has expended $40, 900 in
their cultivation. He expects a
rich harvest hereafter and everybody
will agree that he has earned it.
What would New England farmers
think of expanding $4,000 in get
ting seven acres to bearing apples
or other fruits? Possibly if more
money were thus invested in taking
the best care of orchards, the prof
it's of fruit growers here would equal
those of orange growers.
MILK AS FOOD.
The highly nutritive character of
milk is less generally appreciated
than it deserves. Its liquid charac-
ter gives many the impression that
it is not substantial food, and is not
suited to any except the very young.
But pure milk contains considerable
solid substance, not only the fat
which goes into cream and butter,
but albumen, which is just what is
needed for repairing exhaustion of
muscular and vitality.
Many eminent scholars and writer's
are extremely fond Of milk. More
than one has proved in his own
experience hat on this diet the
mind is clearer than on something
more solid but not more nutritious.
By law milk is required to have
twelve per cent. or more of solid
substance, and pure milk has at
least this and varyingu up to eighteen
per cent. in Jerseys and some other
native stock. Of this two to five
per cent. will be fat and with the
Jerseys possibly higher than this.
NORTHERN SPY APPLES.
In some places where apples gen
orally were failures this season, the
Northern Spy has borne fairly good
crops. 1t is several days later in
putting forth it's leaves and blossoms
than some other varieties. This fact
saves it from late frosts, and may
sometimes make it too late for in
sects, especially the aphis, which
attacks the young leaves just as they
put forth in the Spring. No variety
is more likely to overbear. The
branches which bend down are apt
to be loaded with small, inferior
and poorly colored fruit. Those
which stand erect will have fewer
but better specimens. Severe prun-
ing is necessary with the Northern
Spy from the inside Of the tree to
let in light and air. After it sets
into bearing, it can hardly be ma
nured too heavily. If the soil around
is rich enough the Spy will bear
every year a full crop that will need
thinning n season and a moderate
crop the year following.

PRUNING GRAPE VINES.

Any time after the leaves have
fallen will answer for pruning grape
vines. 1t is probably best to do it
in the Fall, SO that the vines will be
thrown down from the trellises.
Near the ground they will be COW
cred with snow and thus protected
from injury by sever frost. 1t is
not best in very cold climates to cut
back very closely. The bud next
the cut may be frozen, and it is
better to leave a longer stub and cut
back in the spring after the danger
has passed.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Long messages have been numerous this year, and the message of the Mayor of New Haven, which we publish this morning, is in the fashion. But it is interesting and read able
 The Mayor after some brief opening re- marks takes up very important matter and one to which altogether too little attention has been paid. He tells the Court of Com mon Council that by passing orders for more work of any kind than the money appropri- ated for that particular kind of work will warrant they throw upon the several com missions not only the responsibility of care fully and honestly expeuding the money ap propriated, but also wide discretion as to the comparative merits of the several inn provements so ordered. It is little surpris- ing to learn that there are at present unexe- cuted orders in the hands of the Board of Public Works which would neeessitate the expenditure of upwards of $200, ,000 more than the money appropriated will allow. The Mayor believes that it is the plain intention of the charter that the money appropriated at the end of each year should be limited within 'narrow bounds already expressed in tAS lGou Ol dppTOpflaLlOuS. 4H0f0 SuOuIu certainly be reform in this matter.
 Street paving receives attention from the Mayor. He shows that the Telford pave ment is a costly affair, and expresses hope that before the close of the year we shall have instituted a better and cheaper plan for the care of our streets. To which all the taxpayers will say Amenl The soaking of the Telford pavement with water in the summer is also noticed.
 The work of the Fire department, the Po- lice department and the Board of Health is reviewed and the condition and prospects of East Rock Park stated. The Mayor points out that the greatest need of the park at present is the acquisition of the land west of the line of View street, and stretch of land along the banks of Lake Whitney. Here is chance for some public spirited citizen.
 The Mayor comes out strong in favor of the completion of the plan for breakwaters in the harbor, and speaks good word for the public library scheme. He pays feel ing and appropriate tribute to the memory of City Clerk Crowley, and in his "Conclu. sion" gracefully compliments the Court of Common Council.
 The message, as whole, will make good impression. In it the Mayor shows that he has good knowledge of and good judgment concerning the city's needs.
