TEN ORPHAN PIGS.
How They Were Raised at the AgricuIt-
uraI College It Amherst.

How They Were Raised at the AgricuIt-
uraI College at Amherst.
One of those accidents to which all
breeders of livestock are liable lately
occurred at the Agricultural College
at Amherst. A superior small York
shire SOW gave birth to twelve pigs,
sucked them for about twelve hours,
and then, from some cause not fully
determined, went out into her yard,
laid down and died almost Immediate
ly. One pig had been stepped upon
and killed meantime and another was
so weak and inferior that it was put
out of the way. The other ten we de-
cided to raise. The first proposition
was to feed them from bottle with
rubber nipple, such as is often used
for orphan lambs But the labor in
cident to this method was so apparent
that it was not attempted. We pro-
ceeded, instead, to teach the pigs to
drink as soon as possible. For this
purpose, two boxes were provided,
filled with straw, a blanket thrown
over each box, and the pigs placed in
one of them. They were then taken
out one at a time, and while being
shifted from one to the other box each
was given a spoonful of sweet and
warm cream from cows milk. A
couple of hours later they were again
changed from one box to another, and
fed with a spoon en- route. An Ayr
shire heifer, recently calved, was Sc
lected and kept at the table as base
of supplies. The new milk was then
taken from the heifer and fed to the
pigs while warm. Then as soon as
the pigs got to expecting food when
shifted from box to box every
three hours, a saucer of warm
milk was used, their noses held to this,
and a spoon assisted in feeding. But
by care and a little patient training,
the ten pigs were taught to drink well
from the saucer within twenty-four
hours. In less than three days all were
feeding from a little trough, as if six
months old. Another accident reduced
the number to nine. These nine were
fed every four hours for a week or so,
and they grew and waxed fat aston
ishingly. Then the feeding was re-
duced to six hours apart and finally to
eight hours. Soon they became no
more trouble than an equal number of
full-grown swine.
These pigs for time grew faster and
looked better than another lot of about
the same age, sucked by fine dam.
A period then came when, although
too young for much besides milk, they
ceased to thrive on new cows milk.
The facts were such as so lead me to
believe that the milk of the COW is de-
ficient in some particular element of
the sow's milk. This is a subject
which must be closely studied; it is
work suited to the experiment station.
In time this period was passed, the
pigs got old enough to eat grain of
several kinds, and then grew well. As
these nine pigs, at three months old,
are worth one hundred dollars or more,
we think the trouble well paid for. The
special success was in teaching the
pigs to feed themselves from dish at
such an early age, thus reducing the
necessary labor = Toronto GkO0e.

bright light only, discovers and chooses

long, dclicately constructed nostrils.
sheep are even more dainty than cattle
IN selecting their nonrishment, and, like
all other animals, depend almost entirely
upon the sense Of smell. Lambs, after n
long-separation from their mothers, will
seek them out in large herd. But ex-
perience goes TO show that sight and
hearing are auxiliary TO scent in some
cases, as lambs frequently fail to recog-
nize their mothers after the latter have
been shorn.
The influence OF various odors upon
animals is we'll known. If ancient OBJ
servers are TO be believed the elephant
loves sweet perfumes and the smell OF
flowers, and the she goats OF the eau
casus are so delighted with the odor OF
cinnamon that they eagerly follow per
son having it in possession. Belonging
to the family of friend were two cats
from which it was impossible TO hide q
package of dried cetmint, OF which
they we're, after the custom OF cats,
particularly fond. When 1t was
changed from one place to another IN
the house they soon announced the
fact by mewing and clawing at Its new
abode. Cat thyme (7eUcritfD1 mdrH7'),
q native OF the shores Of the Mediterra-
mean, is another herb so seductive to fe-
line nostriIs that they tear it to pieces
with ayidlty to obtain the odor The
oils Of cumln aud anise are used TO entlce
rats to their destruction, and the latter Is
a valuable aid in the capture of some
species OF fish. Shares baited with APP
pie will lure rabbits from their beaten
runways in the snow. while the turnip IS
equally attractive to the Opossum.
The flesh of the polecat is used
by the trapper as the best bait
to catch the animal Itself, and
the willy trapper is well acquainted with
infalIible odors which attract his game
from great distances. Insects are guided
to the fruits and flowers upon which they
feed largely by the perfume they exhale.
The widely -distended nostril OF the
turkey-buzzard argues strongly IN favor
OF scent as revealing the whereabouts OF
the carrion and offal it feeds upon, and
nothing could be more firmly convincing
that such is the case than that they
readily find liRhtly-buried carcasses as
soon as decomposition begins.
The deer chamOls, and other Wild
game are warned from sfar of the hunt
err approach 10y the scent borne to them
upon the wind, aud flee for their lives.
Cattle below and run, horses snort and
tremble, at the smell Of blood, and both
give undoubted evidences of their
knowledge of danger. Rabbits. when
snow covers their food supply and
they are suffering from the want
OF it, will not nibble the bark from
young trees which have been rubbed
with blood or animal fats Foxes will
not visit their holes where their young
are if a human bang il in the vicinity,
however well ne may be concealed, but
give mouth to their wild cry OF distress
and warming az safe distance. Birds of
many kinds forsake their nests and eggs

In June, 1872, he was commissioned a
captain. He served on the Colorado,
North Atlantic squadron, in 1914 ;
rs judge-adyOcate in the marine corps,
1S74-'75 as a fleet marine officer, South
Pacific station, 1876; and at the South
Atlantic station, 1876-'77 acted adju-
tant in the marine corps from October
to December, 1877. tie was on duty in
the marine barracks at Norfolk from
December, 1877, to May, 1878, and was
member OF the Board of Inspection from
Nav to July, 1878. This indefatigable
public servant was judge-advocate,
Navy Department, from July, 1878, to
June, 1880. On June 9, 1850, he was
commissioned Judge-Advocate General,
with the rank OF colonel. His present
appointment is for the term Of four
years.
Colonel Remey's term OF service In the
responsible Office which he now holds
will doubtless prove as efficient and
creditable to him as the former one.
