Livestock Notes.

THE following notes on STOCK are from
the columns of the Northeastern Farmer.
In the Summer at least, mill feeds can
be purchased and fed to pigs with profit.
IF you are breeding pigs to sell young
raise the ones most sought for In your
vicinity.
WHEAT middlings is a coed material
for growth and corn one OF the very
best to fatten.
Pres naturally have strong, quick
digestion when it is not over crowded or
clogged.
IMPROPER feeding of the dam often
causes serious disorders with the pigs.
Use care in this respect.
WITH pigs, young animals give bet
ter return for the food given than those
that are more matured.
BREED, feed, fatten, and market the
hogs young. This is the surest way OF
clearing the most profit
If you are feeding for profit see that
the pigs have good pasture, fresh water,
and comfortable shade.
PROPERLY fed out ton of wheat mid
dlings will go farther in making growth
with pigs than ton OF corn.
ONE advantage IN leIIlnS pigs nave 1no
run of good pasture is that they Will
usually take all needed exercise.
WHEN they can be secured at reason
able cost threshed oats make splendld
feed for young growing pigs.
THE secret of good breeding is that
the extra food digested goes to profit
while if there is no gain it is wasted.
IT is poor economy to keep pig poor
and lean all summer in order to give him
a good appetite for corn in the fall.
YOUNG growing pigs crave variety OF
food, and it can be given in their Stops
to better advantage than in any other
way.
THE SOW or boar that has nothing to
recommend it but pedigree, should be
fattened and marketed as soon as pos
sibe.

THE POULTRY YARD.
Packing Eggs.


After procuring baskets of light, tough
material and proper sizes, writes e. E.
Nuss to Fdacjer and Farm Journal,
1 place a lining of two or three thick
nesses of paper on the sides and bottom
of basket. Place layer Of Excelsior
three-fourth or one inch deep in bottom;
then take each egg and wrap it separ-
ately in one or two thicknesseSs of paper
(any kind of tough paper will answer.)
Taking small bunch of excelsior wrap
each egg, seeing that it is completely
covered with thin layer. Place them
in the basket close together large end
down, as they will stand long transpor-
tation and rougher usage better in this
way than any other When they are all
in, press excelsior between sides of
basket and eggs; then put a lawyer OF
same on top of eggs one to one and
half inches thick; then lay two or three
thicknesses of paper on this Take
strong muslin, cut out a piece little
larger than the inside of the basket.
Take strong needle "a small sack
needle is best) and Irvine, and sew
of muslin, drawing the muslin down
tight. Now, fasten your card on the
muslin; tie shipping tag, with purchasers
name and address. on the handle of
basket. Then you have a package that
you may feel sure will reach it's destina-
ton safely, if any of them will. The
lining of the basket and the wrapping
of the eggs with paper may be dispensed
with later in the season, when danger of
the eggs becoming chilled is passed.

Few YORK, Aug. S.-Cable advices
from London say that the Marquis de
Leuville, the titled admirer of Mrs
Frank Leslie, has filed a declaration in
bankruptcy. Some years ago it was the
announced purpose of the Maruu!s de
Leuville to pursue his artistic and
literary recreations in this country
when he should have become head
of the Frank Leslie establishment;
but his hopes were destined not to be
granted. Ardent lover that he was, the
Iarquis was not proof against Jealousy,
and fragrant display of this passion in
Hyde Park, when he assaulted Prince
Eristoff, one Of the foremost in the train
of Mrs. Leslie's admirers, brought
about his downfall. He had met

roads. Railroad transportation rates
have been reduced until it costs no more
to carry a bushel of grain to the seaboard
than it does to haul it the average dis
lance from the farm to the railroad. 1t
does not look very we'll, then, to be
grumbling about freight rates when
there is such an enormous waste OF
power dragging loads of grain from the
farm to town over bad roads Good
roads would greatly lower the cost of
transportation, and bring the farmer
nearer the market In no better way
can the selling value of the average farm
be increased than by good roads. The
popular way to make any expense abhor-
red is to show it up as tax. very good
application of this can be made to bad
roads. Some Of the taxes about which
the farmer is urged to grumble are ut
teriy insignificant in comparison with the
indirect taxation Of the bad road over
and often through-~Which he hauls his
products to market. 1t costs money to
build good roads, but they are worth all
they cost. II costs good deal more to
travel over bad ones than it does to build
good ones. One of the best things the
farmers of any community could do for
themselves and the common welfare is to
unite and thoroughly improve the high
ways The best methods of doing this
should be discussed and decided upon at
the Institutes, and organized efforts made

inheritance of Small Farms.

| The most successful farming I have
ever seen has been on small farms, says
Waldo T. Brown in Country Gentle
man, and in my own practice the most
profitable and pleasant farming I ever
did was on farm of forty acres. A ma
joritY of farmers, l think have too many
acres, and would make more money and
do less hard work if part of their land
were sold and the money invested in i'm
proving the acres left. Many farmers
act as though they considered the great
object in life to die possessed of many
| acres, while undoub tedly it ought to be
to enjoy comfort as they pass along their
| journey. | have had chance to con-
trast the large and small farms to some
| extent the past winter, and | have been
confirmed in the opinion that as a rule
the man with small farm has less care
and larger per cent of profit than one
with a large farm. On large farm
there is loss of time in drawing the
crops, taking out manure, and in getting
around to feed stock, and the owner can
not give that personal attention to which
the owner OF small farm can, and as a
consequence there must be innumerable
small losses which aggregate large sum.
The man who manages small farm,
first to supply his family all that he pos
sibly can for their support and comfort,
and then chooses wisely some speciality
for a money product, will, as rule, be
found prosperous even in hard times.

piled by the farm, and which has q sur
plus of each TO dispose Of to pay bills,
can live easily and comfortably on small
farm, and will not need to cultivate q
great breadth to meet expenses, for
these can be kept down to low limit.
1t Is not the acres we cultivate, nor even
the bushels of grain produced, that de-
termine the profit of farming, but the
most important factor of all is the art of
production, and next to that is the wis
dom with which we feed and sell the
products of the farm. A common mis-
take and one which often means life
long bondage for the farmer and his
wife is to buy second farm after they
reach middle life and run in debt for a
part of it and increase their cares and
labor without increasing their net
profits.
