The shape Of Pigs.

Ht H""pSV 4 sJs.
There is difference, writes Col L. ID.
Curtis, TO the Rardt Neic Yorker, in the
forms OF pigs, even in n fixed breed Some
will haze long body and some short
one; some will be higher on the legs and
some lower; some will have longer snout
than others. The last feature Is the least
important, although many persons make il
of the greatest consideration, while in fact
it is really the last thing to worry about.
II man is going to keep hogs TO please
his eye, he can fuss about an inch or so of
snout as much as he pleases, and make it
subject of great deal of talk and thought;
but If he is keeping hogs to make some-
thing out of them, and TO help enrich his
farm, that is another thing. For my part,
L like good, strong, and moderately long
snout. 1t gives the hog the appearance of
business, something cunning, while the
little piggy, studied off noses looks as
though that pig was finished, and so it ia,
SO far as much growth is concerned.
Growth is what we want in pig. Without
1t there Is no profit A pig with long
nose generally has long body. This is
good point, but it must be the only con-
sideration in our selection of a male The
hams must be carefully viewed, and if
they are not we'll rounded out, and deep
down, the pig is lacking IN a most valua-
Die part. he shoulders, too, should be
broad, and the back should be the same,
and well rounded, if we want lots of spare
rib. A flat sided hog will make more ness
pork in proportion, and will lack in thick
ness along the lire. The legs should
always be short, and this feature denotes
an easy keeper, because such n hog will
always be quiet one. 4 long-legged or
stilted hog will always be on the run, and
will never be satisfied with the best of
food. The male should be selected for a
special purpose. If the heard needs to be
improved in any special feature, that point
should be prominent in the male. but at
the same time he should be deficient in
some other parts; or while one feature is
being improved another, perhaps equally
as good, will be spoiled.

that will obviate many disappointments

FAR in the Garden.

Thirty years successful use of salt upon
all kinds of crops has proved its value to
me, says an English writer. 1t should not
be used III cold, heavy, or moist soils, and,
If any one does, he will be disappointed in
the result, as It's tendency is to keep the
ground cool and moist. 1t will do such
soil more harm than good. 1t should not
be cast upon very young and tender plants
OF any kind, as it will be very sure to kill
them. Judgment should be employed in
using so strong an agent. | had q friend
who heard me recommend salt on onion
beds, when | strictly urged that it should
be dragged or worked in before the seed
was sown; but, forgetting what | said, he
did not salt until the onions were about
two inches high, and it killed them all; but
sowing another crop properly ii turned ont
splendidly. Had he waited until the tops
were as big as large pipe stem he might
have covered the ground an inch
deep and his onions would have
done finely. Onions should be
sown on the same ground year after year,
MS they continue to improve. There are
yards hundred Years old, and their yield
would astonish the common grower. The
tops when cut off should be scattered over
the ground do not leave them in lumpsl,
as they make the best food for growing
onions; then SOW salt, and then put on a
coat of manure. Salt is not much of a
fertilizer in itself, though plants take it up,
as you can tell by tasting and by the stiff
fleming and glazing of straw of plant
grown in sailed ground. | think it acts
upon and assimulates the gross matter in
the soil, so as to make it available food.
1t should be in every garden.
