If several littgrs OF pigs arc farrowod I'M
der the same root, the stall should have lot
adjoining that the sow and pigs can have
exercise when they want il. Ono large lot
for the whole building does not answer 50
well, for the reason that the littcra should be
kept separate lor few weeks.
The fence for each lot should be tight,
that the pigs cannot mix W. When but a
few days old the stronger will steal from the
weaker. If the litters are kept separate till
they begin to eat, they are noCso apt 10 form
this habit
The pig man should make it point to
compel young pigs to take exercise on cold
and chilly days, as they will lie and sleep too
much getting too fat. This compelling ex-
ercise should be attended TO till the pigs are
at least five weeks old.
Before borrowing sows are the better fo,.
an abundance Of exercise, and should have
all they will take: and as soon after this
event as they want to, let them return TO
their accustomed exercise. But DO not make
SOW take exercise by compelling her 10
forage for II living.
AT no other time in the pigs life will tire
Skill of the feeder tell with greater force
than during the first six weeks. The pout
is TO make the greatest possible growth with
oUl any backsclS, Sucu as dN>outery, rdeu-
matism or thumpa; this requires the great
est skill
Avoid dust i. the beds as well as ell filth.
While dust is injurious, more mag be said
against dampness which is fatal to thrift.
In renovating and changing beds for
young PIGS it is not best 10 make the bed en-
tirely new; remove part OF the DID and add
new. We notice that young pigs do not
like to 90 into a bed neWly laid with fresh
leaves or straw.

The limo to PlniY.

Southern Planter divides this work into
three divisiCns-fall, winter and spring
plowinG. Stiff lands should be well
broken in the fall, in order that they NAV
have the full advantage Of the pulveriz-
ing effects Of the winters frosts.
Moderately stiff land may he well and
probably plowed in winter at such
periods as the condition Of tho weather
Will permit, and the freezing which will
follow will break down all clods and give
q good pulveYization.

sandy loan it is always best to pillow in
tue spring, at the time Of planting or
rowing, 50 that the work of following,
preparation and putting in the crop may
all go on together, but when these opera
tons are going on caro- must be taken
that the land is in healthy and sound
condition-in other words, not too we
or too dry, as either would be injurious
to the crop. Sand will hold It's weight
IN water, so that the temporary absorb
ing power OF the soil depends on the
proportion OF sand it contains: but the
excess Of water is rapidly given of as
soon as the supply ceases, and the farmer
will have but short time to wait before
such land comes in order If too wet, and
1t rarely gets too dry to prevent proper
blowing and preparation. These are but
general rules, which each farmer must
apply to HIMSELF and. with a hnowleG~o
CT tho character of his land. he VIII have
no difficulty, except in his neglect to ap-
ply them with sufficient care.

COUNTY ROADS.
Suggestions About Their Improvement That
May BE Found Useful.


To carry out good system of roads in
tho county the improvement should be-
gin at n central point usually the county
seat, aflirms The World, which furnishes
tho following suggestions: From that
point one or more of the most important
roads should be selected for permanent
amendment. These should be kept up
year after year until the present unsat-
isfactory condition has been thoroughly
changed, not only to tho advantage of
farmers in conveying their products to
market, but in giving an increased value
to their lands.
Not every road can at once be recon-
structed or greatly improved, nor is it
necessary. Quite often farmers living
on byroads will leave home with a fair
load and get along much better than
they will after striking the main and
more Travelled road that leads to town.
Such main roads should, therefore, be
the first to have attention. Whatever is
done should DO with view to perma.
nence and availability for future i'm
provement if not thoroughly completed
ut the time. The roadbcd should not be
too wide and the road should be suf1i-
GENTLY raised and rounded so as to cause
the water that falls on it to run off
quickly.
Where the material is near at hand or
the necessary means can be had the most
used portions should be macadamized
and finished at once. In communities
not wealthy or thickly settled, the dirt
road must of necessity rcmain tho most
common form for long time, and where
properly graded, constructed and kent
IN repair, will serve the ordinary travel
OF average farming communities quite
well. Screened gravel and furnace Gin
dors furnish good covering for roads
and should be used wherever available.
However much may be done the two
prime requisites for Il good road should
always be observed. These are an easy
grade and the quickest possible radiance
OF the water that falls on the road.

from the American Agrcuturist.1
Too many farm horses are kept idle dur
ing the winter. Through 10 fault of theirs
they consume all the profit from their labor
during the summer. They would be all the
better for at least paying their keep during
the cold wcather-stronger more vigorous,
with better appetitcs and digestion, and in
ured 70 work when the pillow IS to be start
ed. IN the case OF brood mares, there is
the further reason for giving them exercise,
that it Is demanded Tor the good of their
loals also. If the mare has moderate, reg
ular labor, she Will have better appetite
and digestion, hence greater Vgor; and as is
the visor Of the mare during pregnancy, so
must be IN a Sreat measure the Yjgor of her
toai. As the mare must consume and di-
