PIGS AND DAIRYlNG.
Some Points to BE Considered Befol =
Giving Up in Disgust.

Some Points to BE Considered Befol u
Giving Up i'm Disgust.
In many localities, says the Amer
lean Dairyman, the profits of the dairy
can be considerably augmented by
keeping pigs. The custom of keeping
them for this purpose has whatever
merit may attach to age. 1t has been
followed for many generations But it
has not always yielded the returns de-
sired. There has been great deal of
complaint that in cold weather the pigs
would neither grow nor take on flesh
as they should do. Of late, since the
tide as turned toward winter dairying,
the assertion that it does not pay to
keep pigs is heard more frequently,
and is made with more than the old
time emphasis. That many pigs are
kept in winter without profit, and that
some cause their owners an actual loss,
cannot be denied. But it is highly
probable that if these pigs were kept
in really comfortable quarters in which
their food would not freeze and they
would not be cold, were given meal
with the milk so as to furnish nitro
| genous and carbonaceous food in suita-
BILE proportions, and were cared for a;
carefully as other classes of live stock
they would grow so fast and take or
flesh so rapidly as tomake them among
the most profitable animals on the

ing twelve rods distant from these, is
reached by good carriage road from
the highway, and by simple curve
any vehicle is easily driven to the barn.
In front of the barn and near the
sources of manure is the fruit and veg
etable garden, containing half an acre
or an acre, and SO arranged and planted
that nearly all the work in it is per-
formed by horse labor, while its con-
tents are easily seen from the dwell

and large shrubs, with most of it a
smoothly-shaven lawn, In this lawn a
few circular or elliptical flower beds
may be placed, the design admitting OF
large number or very few, as the
owner chooses No foot path is made
from the dwelling to the public high
way, as it is rarely needed, carriages
for passengers being usually driven fol-
farmers families to the house, and not
to the street, which is not commonly
furnished with walks for foot passen'
gers in the country at large.
When but single entrance Is desired
from the public road, the design shown
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1892-04-01

In Fig may be adopted. The farm
road enters and passes directly toward
the rear of the farm. At convenient
distance, anywhere between two rods
and twenty, the dwelling is situated,
but to prevent rough loads from going
too near it, curve is made which
leaves a sort of island in front of the
house, the loads of manure passing
straight on and the carriages with pas
sengers turning up to the dwelling
The island is planted partly with
evergreens, which obscure the heavy
loads as they pass the house. The
fruit and vegetable garden is arranged
so as to be cultivated with horse,
and the source of manure at the barn
invites it's free use and promises the
best crops. On the right of the dwell
ing is small portion of ground kept
as smooth lawn or planted as de-
scrlbed under Fig. 1.
To give finish and beauty to both
these places mere can be accomplished
by continued use of the lawn mower
than by an equal expenditure of labor
in. any other way. Country Gentleman.

FARM AND GARDEN.
ATS stimulate without fattening

OATS stimulate without fattening.
ONIONS and peas are the first spring
crops in the garden. The ground can
not be made ready too soon.
SMALL carcasses sell better than
those that are extra large. The best
prices are given for quality rather than
for size.
AS A precaution against rats in the
corn cribs it is suggested that the out
side or inside of the cribs be lined with
sSreen wire, which is fine enough to
keep out mice also.
COMMON plastering laths are cheap,
and can be used for mailing on cracks
to keep out the winds. Such work
will take but little time and will save
the animals from many discomforts.
HIRAM SIBLEy, of Rochester, N. Y,
who made much of his money in early
life upon farm, once said there never
was dollar made fattening an animal.
If you make any money it must be on
the growth and not on fat.
DAIRY schools are now being estab-
lished in many of the western states
and are well attended. In one such
school in Iowa there are one hundred
pupils. This is an encouraging out
look for good butter in the future.
TAKING the cream out of the milk
intended for cheese may increase the
amount of butter for market but it
lessons the value of the cheese. There
is wide field open for the manufacture
of good full-cream cheese.
AFTER your pigs are killed it pays TO
take up the floors of the pens and en-
gage in rat killing. Rats are found
under nearly all pig pens, as they find
all such locations safe from intrusion,
with plenty of feed within reach.
A FEW hens fed on table scraps will
give larger profit, proportionately,
than large flock fed on grain, not so
much because they receive more food,
I but because they secure a greater va
'ie,S and are given more attention.

1t is not difficult to cause a flock to
cease laying, if they are fed on certain
foods that will not benefit them in any
manner. Recently, on a farm where a
large number of hens are kept, and
which were producing eggs regularly,
the production suddenly ceased. 1t
was quite awhile before solution of
the problem was found. 1t appears
that during hog killing time" the
hens were RECALLED with many choice
pieces of fat meat, and with quite a
large amount of waste that was sup
posed to be suitable for the hens; they
were given at times all they would eat,
the result being that the hens were
oversupplied with carbonaceous food,
became fat, and egg-production ceased.
Lean meat is excellent for product lg
eggs, but fat meat should never be fed
to laying hens Farm aud TireSide
