PRUNING IN WINTER.


The Operation viii Not Iniure Trees of
the Hardy Kind.
Trees of hardy kinds may be safely
pruned in winter, if but a moderate
amount is to be cut away. Heavy
pruning always renders tree tcnderer
and more liable to injury or check in
growth, if followed by intense cold.
But it rarely happens that such severe
pruning is required If the operator
always has distinct and definite OBJ
ject in view, he need not cut away a
single shoot unless needed A bearing
tree may have too thick head, and
want n slight thinning. or a small
crooked branch may be in the way, re-
curing only the clipping of pocket
knife. There is special advantage in
doing the work now-all the branches
and shape of the head may be easily
seen while the leaves are off.
When the owner of an orchard has to
give the business to hired hand, he
may avoid all danger of having the
work wrongly done by marking with
piece Of chalk the place where he wants
the pocket-knife or light saw to do thz
cutting, directing the operator to fol-
low the chalk mark. Very little cut
ting need thus be made, and no mutila.
ton.
A modification or improvement may
be made at any time in winter, if the
weather happens to be too cold, or
hands scarce for doing the labor till
spring. Take a small brush or pencil
with white paint, pass through the
orchard, and wherever a branch is to
be pruned mark with the brush white
line where the cut is to be made Di-
rect the operator to cut nowhere but
on this line. The chalk would be
washed off by rain; the streak of white
paint will remain for months. The
piece of chalk may be attached to the
end of a rod or pole, and be used to
reach any part of the tree: and If de-
sired, the owner may pass through his
orchard on horseback, and rapidly
mark as many trees in an hour as the
operator will prune in day.--Country

PROFITABLE HOGS.
Excess in Fat Is Usually the Source OF
COnsiderable Loss.

Excess in Fat Is Usually the Source OF
Considerable Loss.
When the farmer is feeding for his
own meat he has no one but his own
taste and that of his family to consult,
but in feeding for mal ket if he expecta
to realize the best price, he must sup
ply what the market demands. With
hogs there has been considera ble
change and the farmer must breed and
feed so as to supply what is needed as
fully as possible. Instead of a hog
made extremely fat, a proportion of fat
and lean and not SO large an animal is
wanted, and sells at a better price a
pound than the fat animal, while in
nearly all cases it can be placed on the
market at a less cost
One of the principal causes of the ex.
cess of fat with hogs is the exclusive
feeding of corn. So many rely almost
entirely upon corn as food for their
hogs, not only in fattening or finishing
for market, but also in feeding for
growth, and as corn is very fattening
food the natural consequence is car
cass with large proportion of fat.
the selection, feeding and breeding
have all been to this end, and with a
predisposition in this direction, and a
ration that is well adapted to its devel-
opment, large proportion of the hogs
marketed have contained an excess of
fat
While breeding is factor in secur-
ing better proportional carcass, the

sugar beets, squash or other flesh-form.
ing seeds, better animal can be Sc
cured, and while ordinarily corn is one
of the cheapest hog feeds, other ma
terial can be used in connection with it
that will still help to reduce the cost.
Especially during growth is it i'm
portant to feed properly. Keep in a
good, thrifty condition, but not fat,
using alfalfa steamed in winter or
green in summer, bran ship stuff, oats,
barley or other material to secure a
good growth of bone and muscle. You
need not discard corn entirely if you
can grow it easily, but using in connec-
ton with other materials rather than
making it an exclusive food. After an
animal has reached certain stage,
any gain beyond this is secured at an
additional cost. This of course, lessons
the profit, aud when the lower prices
are considered it is certainly not adj
visable to feed beyond u certain weight.
In majority of eases hogs that are
well finished for market, weighing
from l75 to 200 pounds, not only sell at
the best prices but cost less to feed
than those that average 800 pounds, as
the additional weight is generally
largely fat and is not what the con-

dustry, says the Western Agriculturist.
The product of couple OF hen turkeys,
if properly managed, pays better than
the product from couple of acres of
grain. The bronze, silver-gray or
Narragansetts are hardy, heavy and
handsome fowls to keep. There is lit
tie danger of losing money by the ex-
pertinent, if one observes few simple
rules in the beginning. First, procure
healthy and robust rpecimens, not
akin, for breeding. Feed the young
pouits after being Matched, with hard
boiled eggs crumbled fine. Later, feed
eurdled milk and crumbled bread
mixed with milk, alternately with
meal baked or soaked IN milk. Keep
III from rstiiff, wet grIss, damp and
cold places until they have feathered
out. Then encourage the hen and
brood to go off and pick up insects
seeds and fallen grain until the early
frosts limit foraging.
