of the nutriment contained in the sour
milk, buttermilk and whey from their
dairy. This swill is generally fed in ir-
regular quantities; it is often given too
sour; it is poured into unclean troughs,
to be guzzled down with a certain
amount of filth; and it is not fed in con-
nection with solid food. All Of these
conditions rob the cheap and valuable
swiil from the dairy Of its real worth, and
pigs will gain very slowly upon It.
Waste milk and whey cost no immediate
outlay; if they are not utilized as pig
feed they will be thrown away. Do not
feed whey in excessive quantities; do
not feed it at all when it is very sour.
Buttcrmilk may be mixed with the whey
before feeding. A clear diet of butter
milk has tendency to make the pigs
costive and retard their growth. Keep
all Of this swill clean. Feed it in a sweet,
wholesome trough, while fresh. If it
gets cold. throw il away rather that Of
fer it to hogs.
In connection with the dairy waste,
feed a small quantity Of either corn meal,
ground barley or ground peas. As to the
limit of the meal ration, regulate this by
the apparent thrift Of the animals; but
very small quantity added to nutritious
swill is enough to make them develop as
fast as nature will allow. If they begin
to fatten diminish the grain and give
them a more extensive run. Remember
that hogs are grazing animals, so give
them bright hay in winter and the run Of
clover yard in summer. BY all means
keep them out of the mire; allow no filth
holes to exist in their quarters, Ia sum
mer furnish them with a troughful of
clean water at least once a day. Starting
with spring pigs there is no reason why
farmers may not, at low cost, make Of
them large shoats for fall fattening. A
pig which has had q natural, healthy
growth all summer is, without extra
feeding, partially fattened by fall

SUGGESTIONS AS TO SHEEP.

Several correspondents want to know
how | would select 200 ewes that would
yield annually 1000 pounds Of wool, writes
Galcn Wilson to the New York Tribune.
l would go to farmers in my own county
and find them. None would be for sale,
however, until after lambs are wcaned.
a farmer is sadly behind the times in
keeping sheep that shear only four
pounds. If they weigh over 100 pounds
each, better get pure bloodcd Dickin
son or Black Top Merino ram that weighs
at least $50, ana begin to breed up,
changing the ram in two years for one of
equal size and same strain of blood, but
Of a different family. The third crop Of
lambs would be what is desired. If,
however, the ewes weigh less than 100
clear them on. and either purchase a
"1O-lb" flock at once, or get heavy ewes
that can be made 10 produce such by
judicious breeding. If one admires
sheep with ''corrugatcd cuticlc," he can
produce,a ''ten pound' flock with wrinkIy
rams. But whatever ram is used to
breed up with, such as | have described

sheep one should learn the rules OF the
society Of record and insise upon strict
compliance Herewith. For instance, |
know a case where the rules of the soci-
ETY. say: "Rams, to be eligible for rec
ord, must weigh at least $50 pounds"
A ram possessing the endorsement of this
society is sent out which weighs less
than 1870. AS an advocate Of the sheep
industry, have feared that the depres-
sion in the cattle business would cause
50 many to go into sheep and wool pro
duction as to depress this business also;
but recent Strengthening of the beef
market has caused general discussion of
the situation by stockmen and livestock
papers, and til" tone Of these is. ''SticIl

come out all right, and quite soon.'' 1t
is probable that sheep will hold their
own for year at least, but not 90 higher,
although little advance in wool is ex-
pected.

FOOD AND CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.

In the East we do not have access to
cribs of cheap corn, such as Our Western
brothers are favored with for the pork
production, so we are forced to study a
more economical way of producing this
standard meat. | am strongly in favor
of every Eastern farmer raising his own
pork, but | want to see 1t accomplished
on a paying basis. If two-thirds of the
farmers outside of the corn belt, who
raise hogs tor family use, would figure
out the actual cost Of their hOme-fed
pork, they would find that it far exceed
ed the mOneyed worth of the commodity
IN their local markets. The principal
causes are slow development of the grow
Ing shoat, and the final cost of fattening
it. We must make the shoat grow
faster, and fatten it at nominal outlay.
First, pigs should not be taken from their
dam too young; they should suckle her
until they are at least six weeks old; the
SOW in the meantime to be fed a hearty
ration of milk producing food. Before
they are weancd the young pigs will
learn to feed in the trough with their
mother, and, at six or seven weeks of
age, thcy are capable OF maintaining Il
thriving state independently of her. At
this stage of their growth, pigs are very
easily stunted, and they need liberal,
nourlshlng diet, as a natural substitute
for the milk of their dam The males
should be castrated before they are
weaned, and no setback in their growth
is then liable to result. Whether the
time of year be cold or warm, the pigs
should always be furnished with dry,
comfortable quarters, under shelter, and
a straw nest. Nothing goes further to
promote healthy and vigorous growth Of
bone and muscle than a free run on good
pasture. Yet this fact is still ignored by
thousands Of farmers, especially in the
older States.
But what we are most interested in is
to promote rapid growth on cheap
diet. There are very few dairy farmers

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Take it easy on hot days.
Thin out the pears early.
A steel rake for garden work.
Better grow berries than brambles.
The Lang3haws are popular as fowls.
Side storing IS out Of date in most To-
caIities.
It is easy to run il old ruts, but it
costs too much.
If the soil is dry, cover seeds deeper
than when it is moist
Never forget that pigs in clover enjoy
themselves and grow.
Good queens are an important factor
in successful Bookkeeping.
The general-purpose fowl is unquca-
tionabIy the most popular.
Becl,ecpcrs do not agree as to the de-
STABILITY of Carnolian bees.
Pigs like peas, and peas agree with
pigs. Grow patch and try it.
Remember that the best time to cure
foul brood is during honey-fow.
The oldest of the distinctive American
breeds is the American Dominique.
The American breeds are priced be-
cause they are general-purpose fowls.
Remember that damp, cool cellar is
a bad place in which to store comb
honey.
Save the heller calves from your best
cows. From them get your good cows
by and by.
Hens that cannot drink whenever they
require it will not lay regularly, no mat
ter how we'll they are fed.
A half dozen coed COWS are worth
dozen poor ones, and it takes as much
food and care to keep a poor COW as it
does good one.
There exists a popular prejudice
against dark honey. 1t commands lower
prices than does the clear amber and
white honey.
Too much stimulating food causes
over-egg production. The result from
such course will be poor matches, weak
chicks and inferior stock
The American standard of excellence
recognizes only three breeds of American
origin-the Plymouth Rocks. Wyan-
dottes and old-fashioned Dominiques.

contamination of the blood, imperfect as

easy to prevent these consequences and re-
move their cause by a course of Hostetter's

direct result is disappearance of the pains
beneath the ribs and.through the shoulder
blade, the nausea, headaches, yellowness
of the skin, furred look of the tongue and
sour odor of the breath, which characterize
liver complaint. Sound digestion and a
regular habit of body are blessings also
secured by the use of this celebrated re-
