Some Of the results in feeding pigs at
the Illinois Agricultural college farm are
summed up as follows by Professor
Hunt:
1t required on an average four and
one-eighth pounds Of sEelled corn to pro
duce one pound Of pork during an aver
age period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced thirteen and u half pounds.
1t required four and one-third pounds
Of corn meal to produce one pound of
pork, or one bushel of corn made into
meal and fed dry produced twelve and
three-quarter pounds of pork.
When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to fat
tening hogs.
Itrequired seven and one-third pounds,
or one-fourth bushel, of ground oats to
produce one pound Of pork, when fed
with equal parts by weight of corn meal
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels Of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
Corn fed pigs gained about four and a
half pounds per week, and ate about
twenty-one pounds Of corn per 100
pounds Of live weight.
The gain for the amount of food con-
Sumed decreased during fattening.
Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at twenty-eight cents
per bushel, for less than three cents per
pound.
An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused a very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
Indian corn is the most economical
pork producing material during the win
ter months in regions where extensively
grown.

prnnnrinc the Soil for seedinc.

The depth to which the plow should
be run depends on the character Of the
soil and the kind of crop to be grown.
Wheat and beans require deeper range
of feeding area than barley. The stiff
est and poorest soils generally need
more working than good land. Another
point to be kept in view is this, contra
dictory as the statement may seem: that
while tillage Ioosens a stiff soil, it has
the opposite effect on naturally light
and porous soil. This arises from the
fact that sandy soil, by being frequently
stirred. becomes finer and finer in its
grains or particles, which renders its
density greater and porosity less. The
harrows and clod cruSAer will have an
important part to play in the farm oper-
ations of the next few months. Any
roughness on the surface must be thor
-s4ghly wrought down. It Is impossible
to cover the seed satisfactorily with the
soil in lumpy masses, while much of the
plant feeding ingredients are thus locked
up. The advantages of fine filth are
manifold, but the principal Of these are
~ that it increases the absorbent and re-
tentive powers of the soil, and (2) that it
renders the inert materials, organic and
inorganic, convertible into soluble plant
food

be MADE. NO crop benefits more from a
frequent change of seed than potatoes,
and this is all the more commendable on
account of the increasing liability to dis
ease.
The use of new seed will do much TO
prevent loss in this way, while it invari-
ably results in substantially increasing
the crop An English authority claims
that the seed ought to come from an
earlier climate to later, but of infinitely
greater Importance is it that they come
from a sharp, warm soil to a heavier and
colder. Such change will in all likeli-
hood hasten the maturing of the tubers,
though its effect in this way will depend
largely upon the exposure Of the land in
which they are grown. With southern
exposure the old seed might attain ma
turity earlier than new from an earlier
climate under different circumstances.
A southern exposure will, in nine cases
out of every ten, bring the crop to ma
turity ten days earlier than any other.
The preparation of sets for this years
crop should not be put off till the hour
of planting. After being cut, if cut at
all, they should be spread out on the
barn floor or similar place several weeks
before being planted. The object of this
is to allow them to dry and form an arti-
fetal skin over the wound. This pre-
vents the juice of the potato from escap-
ing or being drawn out by the earth
They should on no account be laid aside
in heap or thick pile. They are liable
to heat and lose fertility when stored in
this fashion; 10 doubt many of the dis
appointing blanks SO often to be seen in
the potato crop are attributable to mis-
management of this sort. Many growers
sprinkle little gypsum over the sets
that are spread out in waiting for seed
ing time for the express purpose of en-
couraging the healing up Of the wound
where the potato has been cut.

ITO. 2-PLAN FOR FARMERS GARDEN.
place, they may be kept in a fairly
thrifty condition by keeping the grass
constantly short with the lawn mower,
and with the annual top dressing of fine
fertilizers which the ground will receive;
and thus the lawn mower becomes a tool
of real utility and economy, by allowing
these fruit trees to grow oS this portion
Of the ground which otherwise, if occu-
Sl6ie1 with tall grass, would render them
stumted and worthless.
Fig. 9 represents modification OF the
preceding plan, where the farm lane on
the left Is entirely separate from the
ornamental grounds, and still reaching
Ene carriage house and barn buildings.
The garden o. on the right is laid out SO
as to be cultivated by horse power, the
small fruits being planted in lines or
rows with the vegetables between them.
This vegetable ground is thus capable of
being pIowed every spring with two
horses, and afterwards cultivated with
one horse during the summer, at little
cost. and giving a much finer growth to
she small fruits and vegetables than they
could receive if the work had to be done
by hand. An average estimate places
the labor of keeping a garden clean with
the horse cultivator at less than one
tenth of the work when done by hand.

Seeding with Oats.

Oats are beyond question the best crop
to seed grass and clover with. It is not
so much the crop as the condition of the
soil and the time that favors the success
ful growth OF grass; oats secure the very
best time, and if that crop is properly
prepared for, it affords all the necessary
copditfons Of soil. If farmers would al
ways SOW their grass and clover seed
upon well MANFRED soil, fresh plowed
and well narrowed, we should hear no
more of poor catches and half sown
meadows, and if farmers would only
give their oat crop liberal quantity Of
manure, which it viii repay with good
interest, they can always get a good
catch of grass and clover on the land
