OIL MEAL FOR HOGS,

One of the best rations that can be
made up for growing pigs is fifty per
cent. middlinss, twenty-five per cent.
corn meal, fifteen per cent. wheat bran
and 10 per cent. oil meal. A brood SOW.
especially one that has farrowed, needs
ration that will aid her to furnish a
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 a ration
as possible. With the brood sows, es-
pecially, coed care must be taken to
feed we'll. In fact, after farrowing 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. It should be used in connec-
ton with bran, middlings, corn meal,
ground oats or some other ground feed.
Oil meal is rich-more so than corn
meal or any of the ether 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 objections to feeding
it dry is that much of the ground feed
will not be thoroughly masticated and,
therefore, will not be digested or assim-
Hated, and this implies more Oh less
waste Of food.
To fatten hogs. oil meal can De used TO
good advantage with corn. While corn
is one of the very best foods that can be
supplied TO fattening hogs, better re-

A RARE PRIVILEGE.
A United States Officer to Serve With
a German Regiment.

German Regiment.
The papers at Berlin, Germany, have just
printed brief statement that Lieutenant
Powhattan H. Clarke of the Tenth United
States Cavalry, has been detailed to serv.
with the Westphalian Hussar Regiment
No. II. This is the first instance of a
United States army officer being detailed
to serve in German regiment and the
fact that he is permitted to join the West
phalian Hussars shows the kindly feeling of
the German Government and that there is
no jealousy on the part of the military au-
thorities there
Lieutenant Clarke is kinsman of Lieu.
tenant-General Won Versen, the commander
of the Third Army Corps. General Won Yer.
sen offered to see what hs could do toward
getting Lieutenant Clarke a chance to learn
by actual service the practical cavalry
work of the German army, provided the con-
sent of Mr.. Proctor, the United States Secre-
tary of War, could be secured. When the
matter was laid before Mr.. Proctor, the Sec.
rotary of War gave his consent to the pro-
position. The matter was laid before Gen.
eral Won Kaltenborn, the Prussian Minister
of War, and he gave his consent, and &C.
cordingly the detail was made.
The Westphalian Hussars are stationed at
Dusseldorf and there Lieutenant Clarke will
join them. William Walter Phelps the
American Minister there called upon the
Minister of War and handed to him letter
from Secretary OF War Proctor thanking
him for his interest in the matter and for his
kindness in consenting that an American Of
Scer should serve in the German army.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE.
Seventy Persons Murdered and Mu-
tilated in Madagascar.

The latest mails from Madagascar bring a
report that the Sakalavas of Morrombo have
massacred the Governor of Tubear and fifty
seven Hova soldiers, after the Sakalava
King had promised the Governor an
audience. The victims bodies were
horribly mutilated. Thirteen Hova
customs officials were also MUIR
dered. The inhabitants of Tubear fed
in terror to the French colony on the Island
of Nossi-Be, near Madagascar. AT last &C.
counts French gunboat was cruising along
the Madagascar coast, waiting for Hova re.
Inducements.

suits can be secured by using some.
thing else with it, and oil meal, BEING
richer and fully as good for f4:teainT
can be used to good advantage ut this
time.
Hogs kept in good condition durin,

having the run of a clover pasture and
fed literally on corn and oil meal.-St.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
REMEDY FOR eRoUNpHoes.

These pests may be easily got nd OF
in this way: Make cartridges Of common
gunpowder, with paper rolled into tubes,
and pasted; load each with two ounces
of blasting powder, and fit the fuse long
enough to reach as far down the burrow
as may be. Fill the holes with earth
and fire the fuse, of course, getting out
of the way of the explosion. A dog to
watch, lest the animal may get away,
which is not likely, would be convenient
to have around.-Nep York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AMI WARDEN NOIESs
Game chickens are of little if any use
to farmers.
Two or three geese to one gander is
about right.
Swelled eyes, with running at nostrils,
indicates roup.
Crop-bound is often caused by lack of
gritty material.
Sore on top of the head may generally
be traced to lice.
Corn -and-cob meal makes a good feed
for young goslings.
Manage to make change of grain diet
at least once week.
Sloppy feed should never be given to
very young chickens.
Removing the animal to warm, dry
quarters will help any disease.
In commencing to keep ducks many
make the mistake of keeping too many.
Wheat can be fed to chickens very
proftably as soon as they are able to eat
it.
With fowls, as rule, the better plan
is to feed first and then water after
wards.
1t is often best to allow fat hen to sit,
as getting reduced in flesh will make her
lay better.
A good preventive of g4pes is to spade
up the ground and sprinkle air slaked
lime over it.
Geese, turkeys and guineas need
g n
they are kept confined.
Ducks should always have water con-
venient when they are eating or their
nostrils will get clogged.
A little care in feeding the turkey hens
and keeping them tame will often save
considerable loss of eggs.
Make hole in the large end of an egg
and let the yolk run out and then fill
with plaster of Paris. This makes a good
nest egg.
Sore eyes is sometimes a complaint
with young chicks, and arises from colds.
A drop of glycerine rubbed on the eye
is the best remedy.
Never feed chicks for the first twenty
four hours after they are Matched, the
remnant of the egg continuing to furnish
nourishnent for that length of time.
In selling fat wethers each one must
decide for himself whether the money IS
in shearing or selling unshorn. We
know flock masters who hold there IS
just as much money in selling with the
wool on.
To produce the best sitting hen, one
that will remain on the nest, hatch well
and tenderly care for chicks, cross a
vigorous Pit Game cock with Partridge
Cochin hens. It also produces q gooG
table fowl.
In selecting mares for the seasons
breeding, get those that are sound
healthy and vigorous, of good form, size
and disposition, then breed then to
vigorous, thrifty stallion of some OF the
better breeds.

''The climate of Southern California In

The cquability is constant, and the dry
