rule Of expectancy upon which they
| figure when fattcning hogs. This Is,
that one bushel OF corn will make ten
| pounds OF pork. and II the bushel Of
corn Is worth less than they expect TO
get for ten pounds Of pork they con-
slider that there is a profit In feeding.
The only trouble with this rule Is
that 1t does not always work. 1t
fuctuates under the influence OF
many conditions, one OF which is the
state OF the weather where the feed
ing is done. A careful experiment
has shown that in severe weather,
and the animals being exposed, 1t has
required as much as III pounds OF
corn to make one pound OF gain,
while in like weather, and with the
same animals, the only difference be-
ing that they were sheltered in a
warm barn, only 81 pounds were re-
quired to produce the same result.
Thus I'm one case the rule Just about
held good, while in the other it was
so far wrong that there was no pos
sible profit In the feeding. This is
only one of the conditions that gov
erns the question of profit. Others
are the age Of the animal and the as
sanitation OF food. The only way to
be on the safe side Is to guard as far
as possible against wrong conditions
and then to measure or weigh the
food, and then weigh the animals at
short intervals. II this were system
atically done fewer hogs would be fed
up to heavy weights. and farmers
would soon learn the Importance Of
feeding off early, during mild weather.
Although the fact has been repeat
edly and fully demonstrated that pigs
cannot be kept healthy on concen-
trated food alone, many farmers con-
tinue to give them little else
during the largest portion of their
lives. Corn, either ground or I'M
ground, is too solid and compact a
food when unmixed with other ma
terlals, and cannot be thoroughly di-
gested unless certain proportion Of
rough and bulky food is given with
it. A failure to observe this need Is
doubtless one Of the most frequent
causes OF disease with swine; and even
If disease does not result, 1t is well
established that hogs fed without
this variety fail to give the best re-
turns for the food consumed. Pigs
kept up in pens. so that they are un-
able to forage for themselves, should
he fed green clover; this is one Of the
best alternative and relaxing foods,
giving bulk and lightness to the other
feed, and furnishing beside, a consid-
cradle proportion of muscle-forming
material. In winter, when this cam
not be obtained, its place may be sup
piled by rutabagas and mangle-wur-
'zels, turnips, carrots and other roots;
or cut hay and clover, steamed or
moistened and mixed with a little
bran or meal, may be fed with equally
good results. Wisconsin Agricul-

rhe sclence Of pu.tlng.

1t Is q science, since the doctors
have discovered for us that the
furnishings of our houses are the
camping ground of lively unknowables
called bacteria The removal of dust is
therefore, not only performance Of
eethetic necessity, but Of the greatest
sanitary Importance as well. 1t is
not going too far to say that there is
just as much need of classes in the
hygienes of cleaning and busting as
there is of cooking classes.
The simple displacement Of dust
isn'v busting. and the whisklng OF
the feather is no more evidence OF
cleanliness than the possession Of
many books nowadays Is an evidence
of learning. A room is busted only
when the dust Is taken out of the
room and is done only when it has
been carried out of the room. This
is done by using soft, slightly-damp-
ened cloth to dust with and by wip-
ing the surface of each article slowly
and with care not to throw the
particles of dust up in the air, whence
they will settle again instantly some
where else.
The utility of the feather-duster
except for walls is to be doubted, and
even for walls soft cloth is better.
A thin. silk cloth or a piece Of cheese
cloth makes good buster. So does
a soft, firm wooden cloth, but linen
and cotton-hannel leave lint behind
them. One woman uses all of her
WORKOUT silk stockings for busting
and still another makes loose mittens
out of old wooden which she puts on
as busters. A turkeys wing is adj
mirable to get the dust out of chinks
and between rails, and chamois gives
last polish better than anything
else. The best polish in all the world
to keep furniture from looking dingy
is the following: Two tablespoon
fuls cotton-seed oil, one tablespoonful
turpentine. Instead of cotton-seed
oil grout oil and good vegetable oil
may be used. This should be we'll
rubbed into wood and then a last
polishing kiven with chamois. This
is the recipe OF famous furniture

halos are caused by the reflection Of

Beds are dressed in two particular
approved forms One has a bolster
arrangement, both top and bottom,
in way to permit lace spread
to be tucked under and then
draped oyer. A bed, to have this
form Of arrangement, should be Of
equal height at the head and foot
boards, and be placed sideways
against the wall. Another clever ar
rangement is permitted when the
bed can be located in a corner. A
tent-like canopy runs out from the
angle of ceiling and walls and is
draped down. Pillow-shams are
quite out of style; everything now is
French or English and goes back a
hundred years for its form, and, Of
course, pillow-shams did not worry
people in those days.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
A Raspberry TreIiI..

1t is rare that we find a field OF
red raspberrics in which due provi
sion has been made for sustaining the
canes during the bearing season.
They are cut down, as rule, in au-
! tumn to a height of three to four feet,
and left to winter through as they
can. The damage from snow is al
ways serious. My own loss in winter
and from broken canes in summer
was so great that have adopted the
following plan: l set strong cedar
stakes at the ends of rows and at in
tervals OF twenty-five feet. To these
/ staple wire, as for a grape trellis,
about four feet from the ground.
Then, bringing the canes together
in punches of three or four, they are
tied with soft strong Irvine above the
wire, not on the wire, for then the
cord would soon be cut by the wire.
The rows being all tied, intervening
and short canes are dug out. Then,
with hedge-shears, the tops are cut
off at a height of six feet. This
height on this plan is not too great.
The raspberry likes moist, shaded
soil, and In this way IL shades its own
roots. In the bearing season the
sides of these trelllses become a wall
of berries, wonderful sight to be-
hold. Pickers move up and down the
rows quite hidden. / have described
my plan with the Cuthbert and Gold
en- Queen in view. These, in fact,
are with me the only standard FIRST
class raspberries for market as yet.
The Turner must be grown very
thinly here, and in hills. to secure a
reasonable crop. The Marlboro has
succeeded fairly well as above, but
with me 1t is not standard in
any sense. Rancocas / must reject,
as also Hansell, Lost Rubies and
Crimson Cluster. Schaffer's Colossal
does admirably on the wire, and is an
enormous bearer on that plan. Black
Raspberries, in general, had probably
best be cut low and grown in stout
heads. -E. p Powell, in Garden and
Forest.

Principle. of Home oalrylnr.

For the man who loves the work
and is willing to take all possible
pains the home dairy is the proper
thing. He will follow so far as prac-
ticable, scientific teachings. In
breeding his herd, which is the
proper way, the greatest care will be
made in selecting the sire. Gentle
ness also pays twofold, while regu-
larity in care and feeding are indis-
pensable. In regard to making the
butter he should study the market to
learn what kind has the most call and
then try to supply it. In all cases
conditions alter his needs, but success
or failure depends entirely upon him
self. He will therefore strive all the
more to achieve success.--Farm and
Home.

Study the Calf

In recent meeting of stock men a
paper was read by j. +. True on
"The Desirable Feeding Qualities in
Cattle" He urged the use of the
pedigree for all it is worth but he
said: 'Let individual merit be the
paramount consideration in selecting
the parent stock. Carefully observe
from which cows and sires comes the
best calves as denoted by their being
quickly on their feet and looking out
for suck after being dropped. OBJ
serve carefully how they digest and
assimilater their food during the first
two weeks. This will be shown
by their growth and disposition to
take on flesh and assume desirable
form and be entirely free from con-
stipatIon or the opposite condition.

Smut In wheat and Oats.

For the information Of the sub
scTiber who asks for a 'Temedy to
prevent smut or blasted heads in oats
and wheat" we give portion of the
chapter In "Soils and Crops OF the
Farm" on diseases OF wheat. The
disease is spread by the use of smutted
seed and is to be prevented by sowing
on clean ground and with seed free
from smut spores. The infected seed
may be practically il not entirely
freed from the disease. The methods
used consist in soaking the seed in
certain solutions, or simply In hot
water The most common solutions
are saturated solution, of common
salt and five per cent, solution of
copper sulphatc. The wheat should
be placed In sacks or baskets and al
lowed tostand twenty-four to twenty
six hours, when the wheat should be
spread out to dry. More recently the
Danish investigator, Jensen, has in
troduced the method OF soaking the
wheat in water at a temperature OF
from 127 to 1873 degrees Fahrenheit
for five minutes American expert
mentors recommend fifteen minutes
Smut is much more common and de-
structive on oats than on wheat. The
same treatment is recommended.

Making and Keeping Manure.

If the farmer cannot draw his ma
nure to the fields as fast as it is made,
it should be piled, free from sink
holes, and to guard as far as possible
against the evil and malarial con-
Sequences of being too near the barn.
/ am absolutely opposed to manure
easements under the stable, writes
an experienced farmer. Experience
taught rue of the dangers of the ma
nure heap. My barn had large
manure pit directly below the cows.
The cellar was below the ground sur
face and the surface water accumu-
lated. In driving the cows to the
field one dropped dead. A veterinary
surgeon could not discover the cause.
The next day another cow dropped
dead. A post-mortem examination
was of no avail. The next day while
milking another cow dropped dead.
l went right to work, took up all the
stable floor, drew every parole of the
manure out, whitewashed everything,
put the floor back and never a sick
animal after that. The poisonous
gases from the manure stable were
the sole cause Of sickness and
death. Keep your manure away from
your buildings. 1t breeds malaria
sickness and death. i do not believe
in liquid vaults, but bed and litter
the cattle thoroughly with cut straw.
Keep everything clean and get it
away from the barn. Do not house
the manure under cover, but draw it
directly to the fields. Let the sun
and the rain return it again to the
earth, to bring forth the wealth of
the SOIL
