Spring pigs during the first three or
four months of their existence may be
grown and developed in frame by con-
slant pasturage, and feeding twice
daily on slops made Of bran and shorts,
mixed with small amount of rye,
corn or barley and oats. In place OF
rye and barley. peas may be substi-
tuted. Constant access to wood ashes
and Salts desirable. The best plan is
to provide V-shaped hopper about
feet deep, by 8 feet on top and 6 by l
foot at bottom, opening into trough
or shallow box at the bottom, the lat
ter about by feet, and with edges of
trough inches higher than bottom Of
hopper, thus guarding the mixture Of
ashes and salt from waste. When the
pigs reach $50 days age, and new corn
can be had, it may be the principal
food, with only an occasional meal of
the other grain ID variety. But pas
ture should be continued for sixty days
longer. If the hogs by this time do not
weigh on an average at least 200 pounds,
they may be pastured and fed month
or more longer to reach that weight.
They should, as rule, be sold at Z
months or 8 months of age, especially
If corn is worth more than 40 cents per
bushel. With cheap corn, moderate
weather and "glutted Market" one
may feed such hogs through December
and January, possibly through Febru-
airy, for better market. But it seldom
pays to feed fat hogs after months Of
age and the attainment of over $50
pounds, especially in winter. OF course
after the ground is frozen, and in the
absence of blue grass for grazing, en-
silage once day is good ration; or in
the absence Of the ensilage, clover hay
(which has been put up green from the
swath) may be given as variety meal.
1t is best usually to steam it, though
the hogs eat it well dry. But remem-
Der the ashes all along, as well as the
salt. 1t is needed in building strong
bone to maintain the heavy pork car
cass. Following this policy one should
have thoroughbred pigs mot necessa-
rily from show hog, but from choice
parentage). The parents need not be
registered and nun bered, but should ba
eligible. For each pig to be grown into
pork. from one-eighth to one-third acre
of pasturage is required, usually about
one-fourth acre; 800 pounds bran and
shorts, 200 pounds oats, 200 pounds rye,
barley or pea meal, and to 10 bushels
of shelled corn. With all conditions
favorable, the above provisions ought
to grow at least 200 to 2sO pounds Of
pork in addition to weight of pig at one
months age. In many cases the excel
lence of the pasture will render all the
above unnecessary; in other cases, de-
fcient grazing may require more than
the above to bring the hog to profit

1t is not popular to advocate private
dairy work to-day, but the making Of
cheese at home is not yet relegated to
the past, and there are those who are
willing to engage in any honorable
labor that will pay. In some house,
holds it is still profitable and there is
no reason why it should not be fol-

the heavy work. ~
Milk is never SO perfect as when first
drawn from the COW and never so well

cheese it will make. There is no diff

milk will average pound of domestic
green cheese through the season. In

cows have given pound of cheese,
while from fresh cows fed on hay in

A Tool Which Should BE Found on
Every Well-Managed Farm.
A very useful, cheap, durable, almost
indispensable tool on every farm in all
parts Of the country. The body of it
should be of cast-iron, II inches long,
round, AZ inches diameter at upper
end aud tapering to q point at the
other. A hole for the handle should be
in the large END, ~ inches at its open
ing. inches at its lower end, and
inches deep. Any man can make a
pattern and get the casting at any
foundry. The handle car be made of
any hard wood, driven in and made of
size easy to handle. Such a tool can
be used with success in all kinds of
soil, even in quite stony land. With
an outfit consisting of a punch, a
heavy maui and short-legged stool to
stand on to drive the posts, two men
can set more fence posts in day than

of digging the holes, and equally well
