FARM AND GARDEN.
HOG TALK.
An Ohio Farmer Gives His Views About
Feeding and Fattening Swine.

An Ohio Farmer Gives His Views About
Feeding and Fattening Swine.
The old way of keeping hogs until
eighteen months or two years before
marketing them, has passed. H'he
sooner pig can be made to weigh two
hundred and fifty pounds after he is
farrowed the more money there is in
him. In order to do this, his pigship
should be fed from birth. When only
two or three weeks old he will begin to
look around for something to cat
besides what he gets from the dam.
Have pen so situated that the pigs
can go in and get some milk and
soaked corn, out of the way OF the sow,
and give them only what thoy will eat
up clean, increasing the quantity as the
pigs grow up. l have been feeding
soaked corn to my pigs until this sum-
mer. 1t takes some time to she'll the
the corn and our season was a very busy
one, on account of the backward spring;
80 we had to dispense with all the un.
necessary work that was possible and not
neglect the pigs. So we feed ear corn,
soaked oats, and middlings, and never
had pigs to make more healthy,
vigorous growth. The corn would put
on the flesh; the oats and middlings
give them growth and make bone.
Milk when it can be had, is the best
of feed and should be fed as soon after
being skinned or churned as possible,
before it gets too sour. 1t can be given
In moderate quantities after the pigs
are four weeks old, and if some mid
alings are mixed it will only add to its
value. | would not advise the feeding
of much milk to the SOW until the pigs
are at least three weeks old, as it will
have tendency to scour them, and
when they get bad dose of chat it is
some time before it is overcome, and
sometimes never. Not overfeeding the
sows or pigs is the best preventive and
the only one that will keep the pigs
from getting the scoura,
With the above feed, properly given,
and the run of grass lot, pigs of most
any of the pure breeds will pay the
breeder we'll for all the feed and care
that can be given them. l might say
right here that young pigs should not
be allowed to run in the wet grass in
the morning when the dew is on. I
have known this to make them up.

THE ROOT CROP.
its Importance In Farm Economy Should
Not BE Forgotten.

its Importance In Farm Economy Should
Not BE Forgotten.
IL you have not silo, actual or pros
pective, do not forget the root crop in
the pressure of spring planting. Root
growing is bugbear with many whose
backs ache at the very mention of the
subject, but the difficulties and labor
are overestimateG. This crop requires
more patient tedious labor than does
corn or potatoes, it is true, yet there is a
"lSnack" in managing it as in doing
every thing else, and this is not very
difficult to learn. To succeed with the
least labor, much time should be spent
in careful preparation of the soil. Any
land that is in first-class condition for
potatoes is suitable for roots; clover
sod, plowed last fall, Will give the ideal
conditions. Remember that the cheap
est cultivation possible is before tho
seed is planted. Use the disc harrow
and roller freely, repeatedly cutting up
and pulveriZing the soil until it is as
mellow as garden. As to varieties,
there is no need of quarrelinP. The
sugar beets furnish the most concen-
trated nutriment, and the mangels the
largest amount Of water; the later va
riety is satisfactory to many who are
after sueeulence rather than real nutri-
ment. For horses carrots are preferred.
As to date for planting the rule OF
closely following corn is a good one,
though if the land is in the best of con-
dition and the season favorable the
planting may follow corn two or three
weeks. Have the drills wide enough
apart for horse cultivation, planting the
seeds about four inches apart in the
drill, thinning out gradually during
cultivation until the plants stand foot
apart in the row. Destroy weeds by
shallow cultivation, often repeated, as
soon as the seed leaves have formed.
He who waits until the weeds show
green over the field will early be dis
gusted with root-growing. We need not
stop at this time to discuss the position
roots occupy in the list of food articles
or how they should be fed. The time is
at hand for planting and he who has a
root cellar we'll stored the coming win
ter will have an opportunity TO learn
how to dispose of the contents to his
flock and herd. Roots in the cellar,
like money in the bank, represent
most satisfactory condition of affairs
both are wonderfully vailable.-Breed-

KENTUCKY BIBLES.
Three Copies OF tho Book Arc Sent to th
Big Mon of Corea.

Three Copies OF tho Book Arc Sent to the
Big Men of Corea.
There has been from the very begin
ming of missionary work in the Hermit
nation desire to present Bible to the
King. The time came seemingly. The
Minister of the Left was given copy to
take to the royal palace. He did so,
told his Majesty what it was and then,
in the presence of the King, to show his
disapproval and contempt, tore it to
pieces. His act had royal sanction.
When the Royal College was opened in
1886 all references in the textbooks to
God were carefully struck out
Prince Ming Yong TX was the first
Corean Ambassador to the United States.
During his visit to the United States a
distinguished gentlemen from Ken
lucky, high in social and official life,
presented the Prince, as the chief prod
uct of that State, high brand of old
bourbon. Some was also sent to the
King.
The Christians of Kentucky naturally
felt that whisky was not the only prod
uct of their State and resented the un-
warranted act of the self-appointed rep
| resentative. They wanted to show that
they had other and better things than
bourbon.
They had to wait several years, but
their opportunity came. Corea sent her
| first representative to Washington in
the winter of 1887. He was received as
| the Minister of any other country, and
was deeply impressed with our Chris
tian civilization. Instead of finding the
scum of society believers and attend
ants upon the services of the church, he
found the highest officials devout wor-
shippers. Seeing was believing. The
| preconceived notions of the Coreans had
to be modified. Christianity was not de-
| grading and only fit for coolies, as they
were taught at home, but refining and
ennobling and adapted to the wealthy
and intelligent as we'll as to the poor
and ignorant. The change that came
over the embassy was gradual, not in
| stantaneouS.
Bibles and churches were found part
and parcel of our civilization, and not a
mere accident. When our friends in
Kentucky wrote to the foreign secretary
of the legation asking his aid to show
Corea that their State produced some
thing else besides whisky, and the mat
ter was presented to the Minister. the
proposition was looked upon with favor
and he accepted the task of presenting
a Bible to his King; Three Bibles, one
for the King of Corea, one for the Min
lister and one for the Foreign Secretary
was sJnt to Washington, whence they
! in due time reached the throne. The
presentation was made, accepted, and
the friends in Kentucky are to be con-
| graduated. d.-Independent.

No feature OF newspaper-the weekly,
in it's regular visits to its readers. as we'll
as the daily to those whose pursuits and
tastes desire intelligence every twenty -four
hours-is of more importance than that
which conveys reliable commercial infor-
nation. To compile and arrange such in
formation, and accompany it with accurate
comments and conclusions, is an editors
work of the highest Importance. He is
often exercised to know exactly what to
say, especially in the fiuctuations-tb the rising
and falling quotations-in the principal
markets where our staple products fiud
their controlling inhue noes as to values,
and must needs fall back upon the best
authorities he can find. Of those of standard
value, is the Cincinnati Price Current,
which is always accurate. As price,
current and commercial review, it fills all
the features, and that is saying great
but it is true. To know the amount
of information thus furnished it's readers,
the paper must be seen. Every man who
desires TO learn all about the state of trade
in grain, breadstuffs and provisions, and
the metals, petroleum, cotton, &C., in Il Q
United States and the world over, will
surely get it by reading the Price Current
regularly.

he is too good Democrat aud party man
