HEALTHY HOGS.

The best manner of fattening hogs has
not been improved since | was a lad,
writes farmer to the New York Tribune.
They were turned into a clover field as
soon as the clover began to blossom,
Peas were sown in an adjoining field, In
August, when the clover began to fail,
peas were ripening A sufficient supply
for the animals was raked up and thrown
over the fence twice day. Wien the
peas were fully ripe they were raked and
stacked adjoining the fence, and fed out
as needed. When the peas were gone, or
when cold weather set in, the hogs were
taken to the pen at the barn and fed corn
about month ''to finish them off. u
There were pure water, plenty of shade
and temporary shelter from storms in the
field, and the animals were given salt
twice week. Wintered hogs of no par
rticular breed made weight of 400 tc
800, and the spring pigs $50. The con-
Iditions for growth of the animals and
quality of poflS-embracing pure air,
clean water, exercise and balanced rations
cannot be surpassed. Peas do best or
"a soil of medium fertility. They were
broadcasted, four bushels to the acre
and plowed in, the pillow running foul
inches deep; thirty to forty bushels al
acre was raised, and they filed niche il

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Trim your apple trees,
Cutworms do not like buckwheat.
Don't feed corn to sows with pig.
Don't take any chances on poor seed.
Sow bluegrass and red-top for lawn.
II you have not made your hot bed yet
do it now.
Peas will stand considerable frost !;
beans will not.
Spring calves should not be allowed to
lie down on wet beds,
There's no way of cleaning dirty milk.
Take an ounce of prevention,
The best way to keep hen from eating
her eggs is to make pot-pie of her.
Set out at least one tree during the
spring for each member of the family.
If you choose butter making, see that
your cows give milk rich in butter fat.
Cabbage, caulihower, tomato and let
tuce seed ought to be sown by this time.
It is best to remove the cream while
the milk is sweet, and ripen it after
ward.
Early varieties of grains, fruits or vege-
tables, are scarcely ever as productive as
late ones.
English farmers assert that there is no
question about sheep taking readily to
good sweet siiage and doing well on it.
Don't attempt too much. Hatch nc
more chicks than you have range, time
and money to keep healthy and strong.
During the warm weather spinach
should never be washed before shipping
it goes to market in much better order
dry.
Test every COW, and do not be content
with your herd until it averages 30(
pounds of butter, or $50 pounds of cheese
yearly per COW.
Select bull that is from family bet
ter in your line of dairying than you
herd. This is guaranty of improve
ment in the offspring.
An extra pit of ensilage provided

droughts and fierce heats wither an'
burn, will be good soiling crop.
Wherever the soil is in proper condi
ton to work and crumbles before tn
pillow, or when stirred by the fork o
spade, large share of the hardy seed
may be sown.
1t is the opinion of a prominent ento
mologist that arsenical poisons cannot i
any instance be as advantageously ap
piled for the destruction of insects in DIR
mixture as in water.
1t is claimed that wheat bran as foo
for cows does not provide the essential
for butter making; that, while the yiel'
of milk is large, the cream from it rise
slowly and churns with difficulty.
The best temperature in which to ripe
cream is about sixty degrees. 1t shoul
be kept cool, not below forty degrees
and the temperature be slowly raised to tn
desired point for ripening and churnine

WASTE OF FOOD.

Food is wasted when an animal is ex-
posed to excessive cold; when it is de-
prived of sufficient water; when II is COM
PEELED to drink ice cold water; when it is
worried, driven about, or chased by
dogs, and, in short, whenever it is not
comfortable, happy AID contented. Even
irregular feeding is a waste of food, and
sheep especially, which are nervous
creatures, will get poor in few days, or
will not fatten if they are fed at irregular
hours. In dairy, irregular feeding will
cause loss of milk and of course this is
really a waste of food, and waste of
food to which no thrifty farmer will
willingly submit.-American Agticultm-
ist,

POTATOES UNDER STRAW.

An Indiana farmer, who has been very
successful in growing potatoes under
straw, had his ground broken up deep,
and worked rich and well-rotted com
post thoroughly in the soil. "The soil
was now level and smooth. The seed
pieces were planted on top of the,soil in
straight lines ten inches apart in the lines.
The whole was then covered with about
six or eight inches of straw. During the
season the moles raised the soil some
what, but did not injure the potatoes. F"
He adds that liberal sprinkling Of I'M
leached ashes about twice during the
growing season is of great advantage.
Many vines when stretched measured five
feet, and the tubers were the finest he
ever raised.-Ne,g York Witaess.

years out Of five, evincing the fact that
as the forests disappeared temperatures
reached lower extremes. (6) ."The
tendency seems to he for winter weather
to continue later into the spring months,
and for autumn weather to continue much
later than formerly. Orchard crops are
much less certain" (0 "Deforestation
is causing drought, less rainfall and
heavier and more frequent winds. II has
also caused the failure of many springs
and shallow wells" (S) "Heavy and
destructive winds more frequent and Sc

longer continuance; heat of summer and
cold of winter often more intense, "-Ne,o

THE INFLUENCES OF DEFoREsTATroN.

Few subjects have claimed greater
share of public attention than the rapid
clearing up of the timber portions of the
country, as is evidenced by the action of
the General Government and those of the
States in encouraging tree-planting to in
some measure restore the loss. Heretofore
there has been general concurrence in
the belief that the rain supply was greatly
endangered, but more recent experiences
have tended to shake belief in that theory.
Other bad effects were also supposed to
result, and for this reason information,
gathered from State where the clearing
up has been of most extensive character,
will be of general interest.
In answer to questions on this subject
sent out by the Michigan Forestry Com
mission to intelligent observers in some of
the southern counties of the State the fol-
lowing brief abstract from the replies re-
ceived will serve to show their general
character: ~ "Peaches and the more
tender apples, once hardy, are not able to
resist the recent hard winters. i think
this colder climate is due to the removal
of forests. If the springs, brooks and
rivers have changed l have not noticed
it." (2) There is belief that we have
more frequent and severe winds than
when the country was newer. Formerly
there was gradual warming up of
things as winter merged into
spring. In latter years we have
more sudden changes, with greater
range of temperature" 81 81 coneede
that deforestation has let down the
forces of the upper air current 100 feet
or so and that it is five degrees colder for
want of forest protection" (4) "The
sudden changes and the extreme droughts
of the past ten years or more are, in my
opinion, the effect of deforestation. !"
(5) sin 1928 the whole interior of
Michigan was a dense forest. Down to
about 1854 peaches had been certain
crop. Since about that period the fruit
buds have been wintsr.killsd at least Tires

This subject is just now receiving much
attention. The Western Beekeeper says
that the attempt to make more reliable
and more profitable an already remunera-
tive pursuit by planting fer honey, is only
in keeping with the progress that apicus
lture has made; and if the unfavorable sea-
son Just past has developed nothing more
than to show the desirability of artificial
pasturage, 1888 will have no unirnport-
ant place in its development.
We believe that much lies in store for
our industry resulting from experiments
in this direction.
While oar country is abundant in natu-
raj flora, every section having its flowers
peculiar to it that bloom at different times
in the year, it may be seen that a longer
succession of bloom can be had by the
propagation of different,plants. Not only
so, but plants that are deep rooted and
particularly adapted todry countries, may
be equally well adapted to dry seasons.
Allow me to conjecture that if the en-
thusiasm would be put in this direction
that has marked other'departures of the
business, we would be surprised at the re-
suits. Flowers that nowH'bloom unseen, !"
so far as their practical adoption by the
Bookkeeping fraternity is.concerned, would
be brought into prominence. Yes, flow
ers that to-day "wastestheir sweetness on
the desert air" would be cultivated for
honey.
Rightfully the Government is lending a
helping hand in this direction. 1t can
afford it better than an individual, and
while we will watch with interest Pro-
fessor Cooks acres of Rocky Mountain
bee plant, Chapman honey plant, pleurisy
root, and others, we would not depreciate
the importance of individual experiment
ing and research.
Almost every bee-keeper naturally be-
comes and should be botanist, and in
vestigate fully the merits of the flora of
his vicinity, and those that would thrive
to advantage, and not only investigate
but let the results of his investigations be
known.

A crusade has been begun in Pennsylvania
by the different unions, against the practice
already becoming alarming of putting liquor
into candy The rock and rye drops, and

ones have been found coming from school
manifesting every symptom of intoxication
from the use of these pernicious sweets. The
manufacturers claim that SO little liquor is
used in these candies that ten pounds of them
would not cause drunkenness, but facts 60 to
prove the contrary. The liquor fiend is to be
