POTATOES As PIG FOOD.

Much of the value of potatoes as
a hog food depends upon the cook
ing. If ted largely raw they pro-
duce securing and do not all digest,
thinks n writer in the National
1--we Stock journal. This is due
to the fact that the potato is COM
posed so largely of starch as to
mako cooking an almost indlspen-
sable aid to digestion. A little
raw potato is beneficial to the h og's
stomach, when fed largely upon
corn. 1t Is laxative and cooling,
allaying the feverlsh tendency aris-
ing from the heating effects OF corn.
When fed TO realize the most bene-
fit from them for fattcnIng, they
should be boiled soft, and if grain
be fed with them, they should be
boiled together. Potatoes and corn
20 well together, the former giving
bulk and the latter concentrated
nutrimenI. The potatoes have
more value, judiciously fed, as pro-
noting health than for nutriment.
Although more nutritious than
other roots, the potato, neverthe,
less, IS per cent water, so that its
nutriment value Is far below that
of corn. In fact, it takes 3S3 pounds
of potatoes to be equivalent in nu-
trlment TO 100 pounds of dry corn.

FARM NOTES.


The idea has generally prevail
ed IN the past, and possibly more
by farmers than others, that for
the business of farming but little
intellectual training was necessary.
A willingness to work on in the
old routine that has been trans
united from the practices of the
past. was all that could be safely
relied on for success. This narrow
view, born and kept alive by lgno,
rance only, is mistaken fallacy
of the past, fast dying out, rather
than the sentiment Of intelligent,
present thought. The agriculture
of to-day is not based on manual
labor alone. The education of the
mental faculties, as well as the
training of the hand to work skill.
fully, is recognized as an essential
in fitting for the life work of the
farm, Upon these, intelligence
and labor combined, rest the hope
of progress in agriculture. And
yet it may be questioned if farm.
ers fully appreciate the value to
their children of home training
and education in tho work in the
business of the farm. Each year
there go out from the farms young
men and women to assume the
work of managing farms for them
selves. Are these young men and
women as we'll educated and train
cd in the work and business af-
fairs of the farm as they, the sons
and daughters of farmers, ought,
with their opportunities, to be2
We fear thore is yet too much OF
indifference in parents in teaching
their children the business of farm
ing, not only as a trade, but as q
profession. 1t ought to be kept
constantly in view that the tram
ing and education needed by the
farmer can be largely learned at
home, and that the practical
knowledge thus gained will be of
incstimable value-so much capital
with which to begin the business
of farming.-Maine Farmer.

Some farmers complain of hard
times. They tell US the market is
dull, often glutled, and there is no
money in the business. There's
none so blind as these who won't
see. We need a general stirring
up. Somebody ought TO read the
papers. Who doesn't. How little
we know of the needs of this great
country. You hear the hens max
ing r. great uproa-, and you think
the market is glutted with eggs
But bless you, We can't begin to
cackle off enough eggs IN this be-
nIghted land. We are importing
hundreds of thousand of dozen
eggs every year from Europe. And
here is another important item
From 1S70'71 to 1S79-'S0 we i'm
ported 62,432, 6Sl bushels Of barley,
at an average of 6,243, 26S bushels
per acre. From 1850 to 1885, we
exported 5O,344,654 bushels, or an
average of 1O,05S,931 bushels per
year. Figure it out, and see how
the importation is incl easing. Pre-
vIous to 1884, barley had averaged
$3.50 IN value against Sl0.SO for
wheat. Last year the figures were
SLAP for barley, and SS.38 for
wheat, If there isn't sermon for
you in these figures, then you mis-
took your occupaton.-Exchange.

An amateur breeder of poultry
was talking of his pets in our OF
fee few days since, and express
ing his surprise at their not laying
now, Notwithstanding his good
houses and abundant food. Ask,
ing him how and what he fed, We
were not a little surprised to learn
that it WAS his habit to feed them
whole corn, and all of it they could
eat; and took occasion to say that
IT was too bad, after all that has
been said and written respecting
corn as too fattening for laying
fowls, and the injurious effects Of
giving them too much, he should
be guilty of such an error. 1t but
illustrates an oitrepeated axiom,
however, that all need line upon
line, precept upon precept, here a
little and there a little, and to
have 1t repeated often.
Chemistry enables us to tell ex-
actly what is wanted to produce
an egg. Almost any ordinary food
that is not too fattening will keep
cock in good health and condI-
ton, but unless we give our hens
the right kind of food the supply
of eggs will grow less. If We feed
our hens nothing but corn they
become too fat and egg laying
ceases. Like all other domesti-
Gated stock, hens need a variety
of food, and II they are supplied
with these IN proper quantities, We
are much more sure OF getting
what we want. We may give them
any scraps from the table, either
cooked or uncooked, such as flesh,
vegetables or bread. Cracked
bones or oyster-shells are excel
lent, so is wheat, cotton-seed cake
and sorghum-seed, in limited guam
titles. Grass, clover, onions, cab
bage, etc, are relished and health
full. Rough sand and gravel should
be part of the supplies as well.
Hens have no teeth.
Too many amateurs feed too
much. Fowls should never have
more than they will cat up clean,
and cry for more. 1t Is natural
for all growing and breeding stock
to be hungry. The breeder, using
his intelligence, will soon discover
what is enough. They must al
ways be kept scratching, however,
and hunting, not gorged and sleepy
and idle. 1t must not be under
stood that in what we have said we
entirely dlscountenance the use of
corn. A feed at nights we always
prefer, but, if possible, only then.
If the houses are warm, but at the
same time well ventilated, they
will grind up and utilize a good
feed of corn before morning, and
then Justify call for breakfast.
Eggs are eggs nowadays, and we
do we'll TO see to it, that we so
keep our birds as that they shall
give us them just when others
don't know how TO get them. A
lady said 10 us this week, my
two Brown Leghorns are laying
right along, and want more, sim
ply for eggs. 1 keep the Plym-
outh Rocks for meat and eating

No Boon that Science has Conferred
Has been frought with greater blessings thin
thN which has accrued to the inhabitants of
malarisl ridden portions of she United States
and the Tropics from the use Of Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many
years has but too clearly demonstrated the
inetiiciency Of quinine and other drugs to ell
fectually combat tho progress Of intermittent,
coniestive and bilious remittent fcvers, while
on the other hand, it has been no less clearly
shown that the use of the Bitters, medicine
congenial to the fraiest constitution, and de
rived from purely botanic sources, affords a
reliable safeguard against malaria disease,
and arrest it when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general
debility and renal inactivity, it is also a most
efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are
improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors
from the blood, and enrichcs circulation
impoverished by mal-assimilation.

WORSE THAN MoRGAaEs.-Thert

WORSE THAN MoRGAGEs.-There
is in the estimation of some people
no worse thirg than a mortgage on
a farm. The interest is q great
cause of trouble and the payment
of the principal is fearful to con-
template. But there are worse
things than the mortgage on the
farm, worse than the payment OF
interest, and many worse thing
TO contemplate than the final pay
ment of it. Men borrow q good
deal besides money that is worse
to pay than a mortgage. They bor-
row a heap OF trouble, they fret
and worry and are anxious, and
make their wives and families do
the same. This breeds uphappi-
ness at home, discomfort among
the boys, leads to quarrellngs and
pickering and angry contentious,
and makes home anything but
home of peace and contentment.
Borrowing is not necessarily bad,
but the borrowing of trouble is the
most mIschIevous of evil.

Where it is convenient TO allow
your boy to own a colt or two in
his own right, says the National
Stockman, and where the young
fellow is sufficiently manly to APP
preciate the animal for what he is,
and shows sufficient pride to want
to make him all he can become, it
is both sensible and profitable TO
give the boy a chance. Personal
ownership of fine stock, with an
understanding of Its value, will do
more TO develop in the youth
liking for the farm and broad and
progressive spirit IN connection
with farming than perhaps any
thing else. Even q liberal educa-
ton will do less towards making
an enthusiastic farmer, filled with
the better side of his chosen busI-
ness, unless it is accompanied by
ASSOCIATION with the higher types
of domestic animals. Nothing is
better calculated to develop en-
thusiasm in the boy for good stock
than the ownership of fine horse.
