il, as is too often the case, the milk Is fed
cold
The hest pork is, however, made from
spring pigs narrowed in March or April,
aud kept continuously fit for the butcher all
the summer, on a clover pasture, with
enough milk, wheat middlings or oat meal
to keep them thriftily growing. There is,
we believe, more money in caring for lot
Of thrifty young pigs, feeding them most
Of the grain grown on the farm, than there
is in any other way Of disposing Of it. By
the purchase of bran or mill feed and some
linseed meal the capacity of the farm for
producing a large amount Of wholesome
pork can be greatly increased and land
thus managed could not help growing rich

to it in the manure heap.

grent change has occurred in popular
taste for pork What used to he considered
best is not now in demand The change Is
in part doubtless due to the weaker diges-
ton of modern men aud women, u no do
not work So hard nor 50 much IN the open
air as their fathers and grandiathers did.
Even now, il we 20 to localities where log
cling is done in winter we find that men
engaged in this rough out Of door work
like best the heavy fat aud corn-fed pork
that used lmost universally to he consid-
cred best Their explanation is that such
pork is heartier, or, as they say, it stands
by them longer than that less firm and diff
cult of digestion. For the great ma jority
of stomachs such pork is worth more To try
up into lard than II is To eat as meat. The
exclusive corn diet necessary in making
this extra heavy firm pork detracts greatly
from its flavor, as well as from its dIgesti
bihty
Much has been learned about feeding of
late years, and this must be put in prac-
tice by farmers unless they would see pig
and hog meat less and less used as food
The chief requirement in making sweet,
healthful pork il u keep tbs pig constantly
growing, by feeding such variety and kinds
of food as will from the first make bone
muscle rather than fat, On no account
must the pigs digestive organs be too Sc
verely taxed. That induces "A constant fe

There is no better food for young pig,
than milk. But in winter milk is usually
scarce, aud il is necessary % supplement il

The progress Of ideas as connected with
farm practices is far more rapid than farm
ers get credit for as the work goes along.
We have only to look back over "a few years
of time to learn that great changes in meth
DDS aud practices have taken place and have
settled down into the position of common
practice. THIS change has been very marked
IN the business of growing and fattening beef.
1t is more plainly illustrated in the West
with its larger operations, though it has
taken place here as well as there 1t was
but "A few years ago that it was the general
understanding that an animal must be four
years old or more before he was fitted for
the butcher and for the consumer. Prof
Sanborn showed that a pound of growth
could he made on less food and at far less
cost on growing animal than on an old
one in fact that it was a law of growth
that the younger the animal the greater the
growth per day and the less food per day
called for He further showed to the sat
isfaction Of all feeders that the growth Of
steers the third year, and later on, did not
pay its way. The Chicago fat stock show
soon adopted the then remarkable plan Of
offering no prizes on beef cattle so old as
four wears thus taking the ground that
there should be no encouragement given to
keeping steers up to that age Growers
soon caught up with this idea and came to
accept the action as wise and proper.
A still further advance in the same di-
rection is now noted So early as 1897

the same reason that obtained with the

PMd1NIN FRIDAY
THE HOUSEHOLD.
4 marry SUNDAY
How the Day Why be Made the Plea
nntest Of the Week.

nntest OF the week.
That is profound philosophy which coun-
sells parents to make Sunday the happiest
day Of the week And the chief requisite
TO this is that they give themselves to their
children-at church as well as at home. The
Sunday school must not be allowed TO usurp
the place Of the church service The child
nestled in the family pew at his mothers
side, holding his fathers hand, enters nat
urally from the shelter Of warm human
love into the mystery Of divine love, and
the house of God very early becomes to him
the gate Of heaven.
For little children it is a pretty plan to
set aside for Sunday use the most attractive
toys. the favorite pictures and stories, the
sweetest child songs and hymns, and to join
with them more than ever in their plays
and their quiet moods, until, when they
wake Sunday morning, they shall exclaim,
with four-year old Of our acquaintance,
"Oh, I'm so glad it's Sunday :"
Music is the heritage Of the family Sun
day Not church hymns aud Sunday school
songs only. but the music of the masters as
/
out words the story Of human life, aud tell
it religiously because truly and profoundly
that speak to the children as plainly Ms to
the elders that open heart to heart, and
intensity in each his own living and long
ing.
Books belong to the family Sunday. Not
the thief Of childhoods Sunday hours, the
Sunday school library book, not sickIy or
precocious story papers, nor sordid secular
papers, nor scrappy religious ones, but real
books, and all the real books, poetry as well
as books of devotion, essays and biogra
phies, and every other kind Of book that
sets the heart throbbing with IA wish to be
something greater and better than We ever
have been before And often some one vii
read aloud while the chairs draw together
the reader pausing all the way along foI
the childrens questions, and the common
tary of the parents, and for "Reminiscences,
and hopes ahead.
