Food for Fattening Hogs.

There have been numberless discus
sions, and not few experiments made
for the purpose of settling the question,
"Does it pay to grind and cook food for
fattening hogs?" The surrounding con-
ditions and circumstances have much to
do in settling the question Of economy;
and while one farmer. under certain Cir
cumstances, could feed a considerable
portion Of cooked grain and receive salts
factory returns therefor, another, diff
ferently situated, might not be able to do
so without actual loss. Under favorable
circumstances many have thoroughly sat
isfed themselves that the practice of
cooking is largely profitable, and others
from experiments fully as careful have
arrived at conclusions directly the re"
verse. That it is practically profitable
On the majority Of farms to cook the
food for large stocks of swine is not gen.
orally conceded Among the reasons for
regarding cooking as impractical are
the scarcity of timber for fuel the extra
labor involved, and the general lack of
fixtures and facilities for cooking and
feeding the food in its ceokcl state.

Prepare for Your Tobacco Crop.

Now is the time to begin preparations
for tobacco crop, the first step of which
is to make the seed bed, which is done by
burning the ground sufficient to kill the
germs and seeds OF animal and vegetable
life. 1t should then be carefully spaded
and pulverized and the seed sown in the
same manner as cabbage seed are. When
fertilizing, Mr.. c. S. Phillips, of New York,
is authority for the statement that no
fertilizers containing chlorine matter
should be used, as it is detrimental to the
flavor and burning quality ofa cigar man
ufactured from tobacco thus fortified.
He says that the cheapest method OF fer
tilizing is by placing small quantity in
each hill either at the time of setting the
plants or after they have rooted Any
commercial fertilizer will do provided it
contains no chlorine matter. An essen
tial to a good quality of cigar tobacco is
lime in the soil, which should be supplied
if it contains none. By the operation OF
Phillips process Gan article on which we

Making Beef.

Making beef so that the better class Oh
consumers want it or do not want it, and
consequently so that it may be profitable
or improbable, is largely matter of
how the bones are covered says National
StOckman. Two calves-twins, for that
matter-may be taken from the same
farm by different men, fed the same
length of time, sold at the same age and
in the same market, and command diff
ference of a cent or more per pound-for
such things are done every day How
is this to be accounted for?
The butcher can explain it, and will
do so by telling you that with practi-
cally the same weight of bones in the
two animals he has in one case a beeve
which will dress sixty pounds or more
to the hundred weight. while in the
other he is glad to make fifty; that one
is rounded out with juicy, tender flesh
worth pound for pound more than that
of the other, even if the quantity yielded
was the same; that among people who
know the quality of beef at sight he can
sell one animal in half the time he can
get rid of the other; that while he is in
dependent of any but cash customers in
selling the one, he is often fain to even
trust the uncertain in order to sell all of
the other; that every pound of the
former he sends out advertises his bust
ness, while in selling the other he does
SO at the risk of injuring his reputation
among discriminating consumers.
While we might clearly cite other rea-
sons why the butcher is clearly justified
in paying much more for one beeve than
another, these will suffice; and now let
us see why the calves have such dis
similar outcomes. To make hong story
short, it is a matter which lies wholly
with the feeders. Given the same stock
and the same market, one has done his
work we'll, and the other has failed One
has used his food to advantage and the
other has wasted it. One has fed judi
ciously, literally, Systematically, and for
positive end, knowing every step as it
was taken; while the other has done his
work loosely, carelessly and irregularly,
losing by neglect at one point as much
as he gained at another, and getting
through without any special idea in con-
nection with the whole matter further
than to wonder why he is never as
lucky" as his neighbor. This thing is
being done over and over again every
day. Reader, in which way do you feed:

Saving Trees From Mice.

AS many farmers know, mice are often
destructive pests in orchards, and espe-
cially do young apple orchards suffer from
their depredations In countries where
snow abounds, orchardists, as rule,
depend upon tramping down the snow
around the trees for protection, and when
this is done directly after each storm,
there will be but little danger. But in
many sections other precautions must
of necessity be resorted to.
One of the surest safeguards against
mice in young orchards, says The Aneri-
can Cultivator, are strips of tin CT sheet
iron rolled in the form of tubes, having
them little larger in diameter than the
trees Old tin cans used for packing
vegetables, oysters and meats can be
utilized for this purpose to good advan-
tage These should first be placed in
fire until the solder which holds the
heads and fastens the sides is melted.
Two cans riveted together with malleable
tacks will make tube of sufficient length
to protect tree. They can be kept in
the form of a tube by means of small
wire passed around them and the ends
twisted together.
Some orchardists depend upon poison
placed in convenient receptacles in differ
ent parts of the orchard, where the mice
will be sure to find them. One method
sometimes practiced is to take straight
grained by spruce joist or scantling,
and with an inch and half augur bore
a hole about four or five inches in one
end, then saw the piece off an inch or
two above the point reached by the
augur Place quantity of corn meal in
which arsenic has been mixed in the
open end, then tack strip of single
wide enough to cover about one-haf the
orifice across the open end to prevent the
contents from running out. Prepare a
sufficient number of these to protect the
orchard, and place them among the trees,
elevating the solid end little, SO that the
water from melting snow will not be re-
tanned in the blocks. These blocks should
be gathered in the spring as soon as the
snow is gone, and their contents burned.
The blocks can then be packed away for
another seasons use. They can be pre-
pared under cover during rainy weather.
Where mulch of straw or meadow hay
has been applied to the young trees dur
ing the summer, it should be removed
before winter sets in, as it affords ex-
cellent shelter for the little pests.
