AMONG THE POULTRY.

ONE of the advantages with geese is
that if they can be given good pasture
range they will need little extra feed
Ing, at least during the growing sea-
son.
DRooPGNEss among the young chick
ems is almost a sure indication of
lice. A little grease or coal oil over
the top of their heads and under their
wings will usually remedy the trouble.
FROM this time on milk can always
be fed to poultry to advantage. 1t is
cheap and wholesome, and all that the
fowls will eat can be given with ben
efit-St. Louis Republic
WHENEVER the hens lay thin-shelled
eggs it is almost a sure indication that
they need lime. Generally fowls that
run ut large do not need to be sup.
piled, bat those that are conf sed must
have regular supply

WATCHING FOR DISEASE.
Tho Necessity of Maintaining Health!
Condition in the Pig Pen.

Tho Necessity of Maintaining Healthy
Condition in the Pig Pen.
A correspondent of the Swineherd
writes: 1.-The hog is like every other
animal, and even the human species,
subject to various diseases. An animal
predisposed to disease or of weak con-
stitution will impart to it's progeny
similar tendencies in greater degree.
Hence the necessity of having vigorous
healthy breeders, and maintaining a
strong, healthy condition. If my pigs
should be troubled with some ailment
that the older ones had last year, it
would be evident to me that they should
not be retained as the parents of my
next crop of pigs. l believe that much
trouble comes from want of care in Sc
lecting breeders; too often neglecting
to change the blood, causing in-and-in
breeding. If you start with vigorous,
healthy hogs it is much easier to pre-
serve health. If the diet is proper and
pure water plenteous and accessible
there will be but little trouble. But

disorders that might lead to something
more serious If not attended to. Keep
the bowels loose, without approa ching
diarrhea, and you are avoiding a rock
that is the cs use of many ailments.
The hog differ fir ON q boy in that he
knows what medicine he needs and is
willing to take it without coaxing if it
is put in his reach. For this purpose |
have for years placed in reach of my
pigs the following mixture: Take 1
bushel of charcoal, bushels of wood
ashes, one-Galf bushel Stacked lime, one
half bushel salt, pounds Spanish
brown, one-half pound saltpeter, one
half pound copperas. Pulverize the
ealtpeter and copperas and mix all to-
gether in a box and keep it where they
can have free access to it. To prevent
waste keep it moist, The hog that
don't feel just right will himself make
frequent visits to the medicine box. !
frequently give them changes in their
food. In the winter time someaoil meal
in slop of middlings A little clover
hay is appreciated. l believe that en-
silage will prove quite valuable for hogs.

tute for grass

OIL MEAL FOR HOGS.
1t Can Be Used to Excellent Advantage
| with Corn.

1t Can Be Used to Excellent Advantage
with Corn.
One of the best rations that can DO
made up for growing pigs is so per cent.
middlings, 25 per cent. corn meal 10
per cent. wheat bran and 10 per cent.
oil meal. A brood SOW, especially one
that has narrowed, needs ration that
will aid her to furnish large supply Of
milk When this is the case larger
quantity both of oil meal and bran
should be used, lessening the quantity
of corn meal and middlings.
At this season with stock of all kinds
it is quite an item to furnish good va.
riety. Generally stock of all kinds
have been fed long time on dry feed,
and it is necessary to furnish as good
ration as possible. With the brood
sows, especially, good care must be
taken to feed well. In fact, after far.
rowing it is hard to feed the sow too
much. The better the SOW is fed the
better the growth and thrift of the
pigs. One of the best materials to
use at this time is oil meal 1t should
be used in connection with bran, mid
dlings, corn meal, ground oats or some
other ground feed. Oil meal is rich
more so than corn meal or any of the
other materials. 1t can be fed dry,
thoroughly mixed with other materials,
in tight troughs to avoid waste. The
better plan, however, of feeding is to
mix well and make into slop with
skim milk, or at least to soak it until
soft. The objection to feeding it dry
is that much of the ground feed will
not be thoroughly masticated, and,
therefore, will not be digested or as
simulated, and this implies more or less
waste of food.
To fatten hogs oil meal can be used
to good advantage with corn. While
corn is one of the very best foods that
can be supplied to fattening hogs, better
results can be secured by using some
thing else with it, and oil meal, being
richer and fully as good for fattening,
can be used to good advantage at this
time.
Hogs kept in good condition during
the winter can be fattened rapidly by
having the run Of clover pasture and
fed literally on corn and oil meal. st.

When the trees are to be removed long
distances, the plan used in Fig should
be adopted. First dig around and
loosen the tree, care being taken not to
injure the roots by digging too near
the tree. Place the connecting pieces
(M) of the standards Or r. against the
tree, to which fasten by ropes winding
cloths or mating about the tree, to pre-
vent breaking the bark, One horse at
tached to the rope (B) will easily raise
the tree and ball of earth and place it
upon the stone boat or drag (P), upon
which it may be transplanted long dis
tances without injury 1t may be re-
moved from this vehicle to the hole

process.
