WEAVING Pigs.

The time of weaving should not be de-
termined by the age of the litter so much
as how they are growing and eating, and
their possibilities to take care of them
selves. This period of preparation should
date from the day of birth. | will. how
ever, omit the first three weeks Of the
pigs life, taking it for granted that dur
ing this time the best of care and iudg-
ment has been exercised. We now find
the litter beginning to eat. and this is a
critical period of the pigs life. Their
stomachs are very tender. having been
used to nothing but pure sweet milk.
perfectly harmonized by nature. Their
teeth are tender, and they have not suffi-
Gent strength to properly masticate their
food. 1t thus passes into the tender
stomach, causing indigestion and fol-
lowed by securing. This is il natural
consequence, and not infrequently be-.
comes a serious matter if due care is not
taken while their stomachs and bowels
are in this irritated condition.
In a short time We find the pigs in a
normal condition and c~lalnoriny for
food. The sow's rations are increased:
a shallow trough is provided, and placed
where the pigs only can have access to it.
l begin by feeding sweet milk, gradually
adding shorts, ground oats. bran, oil
meal, etc, feeding at least three times a
day, but increasing as the age and de-
mands will permit. Surprising them to
be eight weeks old, we think the time for
weaving or separating them from the
SOW has arrived. We continue to in.
crease their feed, diminishing the feed of
the SOW. This, however, should be grad.
ual, continuing for a week or ten days,
when each litter is given a distinguish.
ing mark and recorded.-W. Green.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE CATTLE
AND HOG MARKET.

What Observations from the Chicago
Headquarters of the Hog and Cattle
Market Indicatc-Somc Breeders May
BE Sorry They Sold Their Stock.
If prices for cattle and hogs do not APP
preciate materially within the next four
or five months a number of men-men
who back their Judgment with their
money--will be badly fooled. At the
meeting Of the Indiana Swine Breeders
association an extensive feeder and ship
per of swine stated that he had contracted
hogs for the August market at five cents,
and last week it was related in our mar
ket report that cattle had been contracted
for June delivery at six cents. and MS it
is figured that this last shipper must sell
at $685. to realize on the venture it will
be seen what some ''lmen in the business
think of the future of the market. These
are what are termed in political parlance
''straws," and are popularity supposed to
show from what quarter and TO which
quarter the wind is blowing.
The Gazette has been among the con-
servatives so far rs representations as
to the course Of the market in the i'm
mediate future are concerned, although
never for Il moment doubling that cattle
would yet be cattle and hogs yet hc hogs.
It has never been admitted by this jour
nal that the sheet anchor of all success
full agriculture had been even 50 much
as ''started" from it's firm hold. although
the fact has been noted that winds of
such force have been blowing as to
brighten the timil and ever to cause Il
measu of apprehension among those
who in their sober moments realize how
firmly the anchor of stock hus'lundry
holds in our commercial life. But while
clearly of the opinion that the food of
live stock which has been steadily flow
ing toward this market for the past few
years IN; some day exhaust itself The
Gazette Ii S realized the vast extent of
the country devoted to hog and cattle
raising, ana has been loath to Tx Il limit

1t is no now prepared to set bounds
to this food, but it ventures to say that
there are many circumstances which

above as having an abiding faith in the
nea future of the markets are nor lean

remembered. however, that there are
not a few cattle now feeding for the
June market. but nevertheless The GA
zette feels warranted in advising strong
ly against the unnecessary further sac

This is III eminently conservative eiew to

Points of Int rest,

A correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer
writes that he is down on washing sheer
because it Injuries the sheep, does no good
toward cleaning the wool and hurts the
looks of it besides.
The government inspection Of food an
lmals is now so thorough that no swine,
sheep or cattle from any country on
earth are healthier than those shipped
from the United States, and Europe will
be compelled to admit it.
Late reports from the European mar.
kets for food animals tell the same old
story. Fat cattle are scarce, ALWAYS
scarce. The refrigerator beef trade has
hurt the live cattle trade: there is nc
doubt of that; yet the live animal ship
pers are not losing money us they were
some time ago.
"Talk to your horses; they will under.
stand you," says Gleason. the famous
horse trainer.
A sheep raiser at Mountain Home,
Ida, declares that he has green grass for
pasture nine months in the veal.
Put not your trust in pedigree and a
three cornered bull. Let the animal be
of standard form and the pedigree of as.
sured purity.-Breeder's Gazette.

A succession Of three pens, each smaller
than the last, will facilitate matters. II
the flock is a large one the pens may bt
double, as in the illustration. SO that the
dipping vat may be operated from each
side. Have the pens built near IL stream
Of water. so that the water ma be re.
plenished frequently. Have the heating
boiler close to the vat, so that the liquid
can be run along a trough or pipe easily
into the storage or dipping vat.
The illustration shows the kind of vat
recommended by Crozier, and is adapted
from his book. The three double yards
are shown. beginning at the bottom.
From the lane the animals are driven
into the larger yard, then into the smaller
ones as they are wanted. At the far end
of the last pen is a stage, sloping upward.
In pens just at each end Of the farther
side Of the stage are four sheep in decoy
pens, prevented from getting out by
wire netting, which, being as silly as
sheep, the victims that are to be dipped
do not see. They ascend the inclined
stage and go toward their companions in
the pens. Here, however, a vile picce
of deceit has been practiced on them.
The treacherous stage is a fitting plat
form, which Immediately turns with
their weight and precipitates them into
the tobacco water vat, where they are
instantly immersed all over by the fall.
1t is here that the attendant must seize
each sleeps head and hold it above
water, SO that the animal may not swal-
low the liquid.
For large hocks a vat twenty feet long
is needed. The vat is long and narrow,
so that the attendants may easily reach
across and into it. If the sleeps legs
were tied it could be dipped into the
liquid by means of a belt around its
body. AS each animal finishes it's bath
it is permitted to walk up a cleated floor.
ing to the drying yard. Here it is kept
till nearly or quite dry. This is especial.
ly necessary with ewes having young
lambs, which should not be allowed ac-
cess to the mothers until the tobacco
juice has dried.
A large quantity of water is needed
for focks Of sheep running up into the
thousands in number. Two boilers
holding 100 gallons of water each
should be ready near the tank at the
stream. In these the water is boiled
and the infusion is made. Do not let
the tobacco stems boil. The hot liquid
may he run off into the dipping vat and
cooled. For a large flock, however,
preparations must be made a day or two
beforehand, and storage watts containing
altogether 800 to 1000 gallons must be
ready to hold the infusion. Then there
will be enough for the flock.
The formula for tn dip is this: Fol
Il few sheep steep for ounces of coarse
tobacco and one of sulphur i'll Il gallon
of boiling water. When the hocks are
large take n pound of tobacco and
one-fourth pound of sulphur to four gal.

JUDGING SHEEP.
How to Test the Length and ineness of
a Fleece.

How to Test the Length and ineness of
n Fleece,
4 sheep grower who is growing for
wool as we'll as mutton should be a good
Judge of wool. so that he may determine
the comparative values of his f1eeces.
In Judging there must be u standard,
and this standard must have due regard
to tineneSs, to length Of staple and to
density. In Judging as to %tilleness COM
mence at the shoulders, as there the
finest wool is always to be found. This
may be taken as the standard and CON-
pared with the wool from the ribs, the
thigh AMI the rump, and the nearer the
wool from the various portions Of the
animal approaches this standard the bet
ter the fleece is. If the result is salts
factory it is pronounced rs to fineness
very ''evrn."
In scrutinizing the length of the staple,
if the wool from the ribs. thigh aud back
approNitnates reasonably in length to that
of our standard, the fleece is again pro-
nounced as regards length of staple
true and even" The density of the
fleece is then examined by closing the
hand upon the portions Of the rump and
loin wool, rs these parts are usually the
most faulty. If this point proves salts
factory it liz pronounced ever as to den
sity. The last point is the most difficult
to determine, as in it touch must be the
sole guide, the eye not being depended
upon, as in the other examinations. To
summarize these proofs, if the fleece is
Of nearly equal fineness and length or
shoulder, rib and back, and Of density on
shoulder, rump and loins, we have Il
model sheep for producing wool.-Da-

THE ANIMAL INDUSTRY.
SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE CARE
OF CATTLE ON SHlPBOARD.

adian Commission of Inquiry INto the
Live Cattl" %Shippin. Tride-Eccom-
mendations OF Insurance Managers.
The recent inquiry in Canada in con-
nection with the transatlantic live cattle
trade has brought out much valuable d.
formation a!d many suggestions for the
better ways Of carrying the animals.
The managers of one of the largest in
surancc companies have offered the fol-
lowing suggestions. that have met favor
ably with the commission. They recon-
mended that no vessel for live stock
should he passed by a government in
spector unless she is equipped and built
as follows: () That there be at least 7
feet 3 inches between decks; (2) that
she be provided with steam fans, or
fans Of sufficient capacity to force fresh
air between decks in quantities ample
for all the animals placed OH said deck
or decks.
They also recommend that there should
be a condenser of sufficient size to pro-
SluS llESll llCl LII tll dlllllitlS CdTI1Gu.
That there should be angie iron frames
fitted side by side on the top deck, three
feet apart. on all steamers carving a
deck load of cattle, to be fastened in g
inch plank. That steamers should be at
least 1.2m tons net register, and have at
least $50 horse power. That there should
be a sufficient number of water barrels
and hose conveniently placed. That the
space to be allowed for each animal
should not be less than two feet eight
inches by eight feet, it being understood
that five stOckers mot to weigh more
than | 900 ,",unds each) may be allowed
in the space for four fat cattle, and that
not more than ten sheep be placed in the
space allotted to one fat OK. Neither
high nor over fed cattle to be carried on
deck, but III every case to be slowed
under deck in Il convenient place. That
no head ropes of less than one inch in
diameter be allowed. That no distillery
cattle for shipment be allowed on the
wharf between 3 Il. m. and 6 p. H., and
that all loading of said cattle be done
between 6 p. m. and 8 a.. IN. Live
stock not to be allowed upon any
steamer until the loading of the rest of
the cargo has been completed. A sufi-
Gent number of competent attendants
to be always provided, and these men
obliged to sign the ships articles and
be under the authority of the captain.
All vessels carrying cattle to have on
board at least three barrels of oil for use
in heavy weather. That all steamers
carrying live stock be fitted with the
electric light. That in fitting up stalls
passages should be left sc that the SOUP
pers can be reached and kept clean.
That cattle should have at least twelve
hours rest after leaving the car before
they are put on board. That there
should be a union stockyard having
wharves of it's WI from which all live
stock should be shipped. That no steam
er should get her clearance until the
government inspector gives a certificate
that the cattle are loaded and the steam

Sheep Dip.

Just before time for sheariny dip your
sheep in an infusion of tobacco stems

borne in it comfortably-not hot enough
to burn. Then, two weeks afterwartl,
after the sheep have been shcared. dip
them again TO destroy all eggs of the

Age of Eggs.

When we gather the eggs we at once
write on them with a lead pencil the
breed and date; for instance, "P. R..
10-1," meaning Plymouth Rock, Oct. l..
In this way we have no trouble in know
ing the age of the eggs. and rs we mark
them in the pens while we are gathering
them there is no possibility of sending
out the wrong eggs. Dating the eggs in
the manner we have shown is the only
safe way, and will cause considerable
satisfaction both to buyer and seller. en-
cepting in case the fancier wishes to
palm off a lot of stale eggs.
Last winter we bought up large lot
OF eggs, and after they were III die incu-
bators several days we learned that al
most %two-thirds of them We're stale. No
man wishes to buy stale eggs. and if a
rule is made to date them and then only
send out those not over a week OF so old
the customer will be much better pleased.

The Percheron horse of years G was
a draught horse in fact as well as name,
and his splendid development of bone.
muscle and endurance came of years of
hard work: but when the demand for
export increased, as also the call for
greater size, the colts were grown in idle
ness, as big and fast as they could make
them, aud after importation the fatten-
ing process was continued, and too often
they come into the buyers hands great,
soft, worthless things; and when they
are reduced enough to fit them for stud
service hesees that their fat was u CLOAK
that covered a multitude of SINS and
that he has quite d different looking
horse from what he supposed. Besides,
until acclimated and fully recovered
from the effects of importation, sterility
or even death is not very uncommon.
These and other considerations would
incline to the belief that American bred
horses are better and safer to buy, and
that from some Of the farmers or small
breeding establishments of the country
may be had home bred stations that are
often as well OF better bred, and Of as
good quality, that have escaped the
pampering process, and would do the
buyer much more good. Then the home
breeder does not have to charge up to his
customers the expense and risk Of i'm
portation on top of a large purchase price
in order to make a reasonable profit

Honey Crop.

Among the minor industries which may
be successfully prosecuted upon many
farms, without hindrance to the work Of
the main crops we have before suggested
that Of bee keeping. The Importance of
this industry, as a whole, we think Is
not sufficiently appreciated. In the col
lection of agricultural statistics by the
department Of agriculture every state
reports more or less honey. but usually
less than more, yet the whole production
is placed at 5000, 900 pounds of honey
and more than LOCO, 900 pounds of wax,
with an aggregate value of more than
sc, 1000. 900. This is brought from a vast
number of farms which each have a few
hives or colonies, large apiaries being
the exception.
There are a few districts, as in por-
tons of New York, Ohio, Tennessee and
California, where agriculture is a promi-
nent feature and considered very profit
able. The owner of a well titled farm
of sixty acres in nortlSrn Ohio n c said
to the writer that his 100 colonies Of bees,
occupying not more than half an acre of
space in the orchard, gave more net
profit than all the rest of the farm.
knowledge of their habits. which can
only be gained by experience and close
attention to the needs of the bees, are
more demanded in the business than
capital or hard work. Where a large
apiary is carried on there should be
especial crops planted for pa>tnrase, so
that bees will lot wander far from home
in search of food.-DakOta Farmer.
