swine in Summer

If hogs are furnished with good pas
ture, with variety of grasses, a good
upply of cool running water both to drink
and to bath in, and a moderate supply of
grain in some form, they are in warm
weather. in their natural element, and are
then in the best condition to ward off dis
ease and make rapid and profitable growth.
Many good swine breeders prefer not to
give their hogs any grain during the sum-
mer months, leaving them to depend en-
tirely on grass But my experience is that
there is no season of the year when it pays
better to feed grain to my hogs. 1t then
takes less grain to put them in market
condition and it also takes much less time,
enabling the farmer to market his hogs
early, before bad weather and the gIut in
the market, and the decline in prices that
usually occurs early in the winter.
Spring pigs designed for fatteuing
should in this latitude see the light the last
OF March or first of April to enable them
to obtain sufficient growth to be profitable.
There is no profit in the feeding and
growth of little pig or a young
one You lose the advantage arising
from the gain made when there is age
enough to eat more and cheaper
food. The farmer who raises pigs fo1
foasters or to cut up into quarters to sell

FARM NOTES.

If your work is v ell planned it aids very
much IN its execution.
Cattle deprived of salt will likely sichen.
Salt is necessary to the system.
If you want to avoid competition pro-
auce an article above it In quality.
Ashes give the best results when
broadcasted over the ground instead of in
the hills.
In New York and Michigan the spray
ing of the orchards as preventative and
protection from the codling moth has been
a success for several seasons.
For regular farming purposes, all things
considered. says a contemporary, it is
questionable whether a better breed of
cattle exists than the milking strains of
the Shorthorns.
A man who has spent many years in
numbering camps where a great many
horses are used has proved to his own sat-
isfaction that watering horses Immediate
ly after they have eaten is the most fire.

A ffteen-mile journey is an average

cow travel in poor pasture, nipping a
heavyweight of grass here and there to

to pay for it through the milk pail, says
the Mirror and Farmer.

Timely Praise.

Give praise where praise is due, and
when it is due. Few people realize the
widely different effects produced by bring
ing into prominence the good or the bad
points of mans character. To do the
former stimulates his powers, encourages
him to make fresh efforts, inspires him
with hope, and paves the way for the cor
rection of faults. To do the latter de-
presses the nature, produces gloom, des-
pondency and fear, and actually weakens
the very powers which are needed to bat
tie with the wrong. Just as the wise
physician, by building up the general sys-
tenn and healthful discharge OF functions,
does far more to eradicate disease than he
could by any direct efforts upon the dis
ease itself, so the cheerful encouragement
of all that is coed in the character of a
man will he more effectual In restrainip 9
faults than any direct attacks on the faults
and errors themselves.
There is one form of praise which is
specially acceptable, and even more bene-
fetal at times than direct words of ap-
prevail. 1t is the tacit trust and confidence
In the honor or the good intentions Of
others, which, while leaving them free to
act, inspires a strong desire to deserve the
trust reposed. No one VINO has tested the
power of this confidence will ever under
value it, The teacher in his school, the
employer with his men, the parent in the
family, will assuredly reap as they SOW in
this respect. If they are suspicious, ever
watching for derelictions of duty, and
standing ready to detect and denounce
them, they will fad plentiful crop. Ii,
on the other hand, they take it for granted
that those under their charge are truthful
and honorable, and in the main DESTROYS
of doing right, always treating opposite
conduct as exception to the rule, they
will instill an earnest desire to prove
worthy of the good opinion thus held. So
strong tendency is there in the man to
justify the opinion entertained of him that
1t frequently only needs continual repeti-
ton of any charge to make it really true!
The child who is always suspected and &C
cused of dishonesty may be provoked to
be dishonest; he who is always tainted
with being dull, or awkward, or selfish,
may soon be incapable of overcoming
these tendencies

Crowding Down Prices.

When the new wheat crop first comes
into market, the buyers and spectators
will endeavor to their utmost to crowd
down the price. There are SO many farm
ers who are under the absolute necessity
of realizing on their crops as soon after
harvest as possible that there is always an
opportunity for buyers to take advantage
of the situation and bear down the
price. There is danger of overerowding
the early market, forcing down the price
and giving all the advantage of the pros
pective high price to the SPECTATORS.
There is good reason for believing that
the wheat crop, both as to quantity and
quality, has been overestimated, and it
will be advisable for the producers to care
fully consider the question of holding for
better prices than are first offered.-Farm
and FIreside.

LOVEIN A COTTAGE TO-DAY.
NJ. B HILL.

Respectfully dedicated to Mrs. Kate Gannett
Doubtless love in a cottage is all very well,
If the cottage is modern Queen Anne,
If its roof is in peaks and its front is a swell,
And it's balconies various and many;
But the old-fashiOned, Yine-Coyered cot of the
past
Is thing she's not pining for-any.
She, of course, wouldn't wed absolutely for
pef:
For indeed she is not merCenary,
But matron of taste must environ herself
With the elegancies customary
Such as books and ceramics and pictures-alas!
To possess these the pelf's necessary.
For her books she would like of edition de luxe
(E'en the costliest and daintiest of such)
And her bric-a-brac genuine (repress your re-
Dukes
If the maid seems refined overmuch)-
She would no doubt require that her Sevres should
be French
And her Delft be the real old Dutch.
She would pictures of Raphael's third period
prefer
With Guido and Titan or two
But their cost she could hardly expect to iecur
Were she lowered with kings revenue;
So she might be content with a few BougRereaus
And perhaps wouldn't Millais escheW.
Now the youth who is intending this dam sci to
wed
Should his Golfers with sheckles first heap,
For, maiden so uper-fastidiousy bred
He must ever In ignorance keep
OF the practical meaning of one dreadful word
That's expunged from her lexicon-cheap.

like lambs does not use his stock to the
best advantage. If his feed is limited he
had better reduce the number of mouths
and feed more and longer, than to cut
short by slaughter too young. Pork, when
young and tender, is lighter according to
the same bulk than older and more matur-
ed. This fact must rot be lost sight of.
for what seemeth to be is not. 1t would
be well enough to work of a lot of Young
pigs IN this way if it were not desirable to
winter them. But for system or practice.
killing light pigs because they viii sell is
not good sense or economy. The gain
and consequent profit on pig after he will
weigh two hundred pounds or over is
than at any time before that weight is
made; hence the farmer who disposes of
his pigs when they have reached fifty or
one hundred pounds is not wise. We say.
then, start the pigs earlier in the spring.
How to make them grow the fastest
is the next thing to consider. If the
sows are not required to produce another
litter the same year it would be best to
let the pigs suck so long as the mother
will continue to give milk and feed them
at the same time. If this is practiced
the SOW may be fed all she will eat of
succulent food of which barley makes best,
with a regular allowance of shelled corn.
The pigs will grow faster if they could
go into a pen where the SOW could
not follow and be fed milk mixed with
wheat middlings. We would advise re-
moving the pigs from the mother at the
end of three months and combining them
for few days in pen until weaned, when
they ought to be allowed to 60 out upon
the ground and lie in the sun. We have
a fancy they will do better if the sunshine
can fall upon them. If confined on a
plank floor they will often get stiff in the
legs and then they no not have the health
full influence of the ground and a chance to
doctor themselves, following the prescrip-
tons of instinct and getting their medi-
cines from the laboratory of nature. Hogs
are blessed with good digestion and can
eat often. When young they ought to be
fed every two hours eating their mess up
clean. They never should be overfed.
Charcoal should always be accessible and
if it is they will eat considerable quaint
ity. Sulpher is good corrective
Farmer
