Drops and take one or two of them at

FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
a Piggery Test Covering a Period o
Nearly Five Months.

Nearly rive MOntnss
On the esd of April / selected and
weighed six pure bred Chester White
pigs, eight weeks Old narrowed by one
of my choicest sows) that intended to
prepare for exhibition at our coming
county fair. Their combined weight
at that time was 17s pounds then
weighed out 100 pounds of feed, con-
sisting of equal parts by weight of corn
meal and shorts This was mixed with
about equal parts of milk and water to
the consistency of thick cream and fed
three times per day.
The 100 pounds Of feed was consumed
in 10 days. The pigs were weighed
again May IL, and showed gain OF 1Is
pounds. Another batch of feed was
then mixed and fed as before, except
that the proportion of milk in the ra-
tons was much reduced, other young
pigs needing it more, The 1870 pounds
was consumed in IL days, the pigs maxi
ing gain of 81 pounds. AS the feed
was now eaten so rapidly, the amount
of the batch was doubled, making it
24O pounds. This was consumed in 20
days, the pigs making gain of 1852
pounds, or 81 pounds for each 100
pounds of feed.
AS intended to sell them for breed
ing purposes, found they were laying
on too much fat, and the meal was
therefore dropped from the rations.
From that time they were fed clear
shorts.
Six hundred pounds of shorts was
then weighed out, being five times the
original quantity. This was consumed
in 2S days, making gain of 100 pounds,
or 3S pounds for each 1870 pounds of
feed. Another. batch of 600 pounds
was consumed in Fl days, they making
a very slight gain over the former pc
Rod, or 1872 pounds, being gain of 3S
pounds and fraction for each 1870
pounds of shorts.
AS the hog nature was now develop
ing, and they were mean and contrary
to weigh and handle, 1900 pounds, or
ten times the original quantity, was
fed before weighing. This was con-
sumed in SO days. During this period
they made a gain of 1856, or 20 So
pounds for each 100 pounds of feed.
They weighed, on September 9, LILO
pounds, an average of 1876 pounds each
The experiment covered period of 139
days, during which time they con-
sumed 1850 pounds of feed and made a
gain of 992 pounds, II pounds per
day.
While single experiment does not
establish fact, this goes to show that
much larger gain was made during
the first half of the period than during
the last half. When they had coa.
sumed 1850 pounds of feed, they
weighed 742 pounds and could havg
been sold at good profit. While con
sulning the last 1900 pounds of feed
they barely paid their way. l have

Expensive Economy.

The attempt to keep thirty or more
hens in a poultry house that is adapta-
bic for only twenty results in fewer
eggs from the thirty hens than if a
smaller number occupied the space.
Cases are numerous where a few hens
layed well, while large flocks gave no
returns. The hens must be comforta-
BILE or they will not thrive, and during
the warm season there is no surer
method of ceasing egg production than
TO have too many hens together, There
is no economy in crowding them, for
what is gained in one direction is lost in
another Fireside.

SELECTION OF STOCK.
A Matter of Great Importance to tho
Average Farmer.

n VI W bho
Average Farmer.
Every farmer finds it absolutely
necessary to keep some kind of live
stock on his farm. Such work as plow-
ing and hauling requires horses, mules
or oxen, while variety of products
raised on every farm can only be made
profitable by being fed to cattle, sheep
and hogs, and thus turned into beef,
mutton, pork and bacon. The proper
selection and management of such stock
become matters of great Importance.
The kind of stock to be kept, above
what is necessary for the absolute
wants of the farm in the way of per-
forming work and furnishing food, will
in each case depend upon the system
of farming adopted rs best suited to
the nature and size of the farm. In Sc.
lecting stock, whether sheep, cattle,
horses or hogs, the same common
sense principles should govern as in
other things. The best breeds, that is,
those best for particular purposes,
should be selected, as they are in gem
eral the most economical. If the farm
err wishes to raise beef, or mutton, or
pork for the market, he should select
those breeds that can make the most
flesh out of given amount of food
Meat-producing animals are machines
for converting vegetable food into flesh
and those breeds that give the greatest
yield with the least care and expense
in management are the best If the
production of milk or wool be the OBJ
ject, the same principle should govern.

FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT SAWBUCKS.


Devices Calculated to Rob Wood-Sawing
of Its TerrOrs.
There seems to be great prejudice
among farmers and farm hands against
the use of the bucksaw. This, be-
lieve, is mostly the result of poorly
contrived benches for supporting the
wood, and saws in wretched condition,
With the wood properly held and the
saw in fiue condition, saving with a
bucksaw is an economical way of
working up wood, especially if it is in
poles of small size.
Oftentimes the chief fatigue of this
way of saving is the strain from hold
ing down the stick with the knee when
there is long, free end overwhelming
the part supported on the buck,
To obviate this trouble neighbor has
sawbuck arranged like Fig. 2. In
stead of having the two ks it has
three, and the whole length, as meas
ured through the center pin, is three
and one-half feet. A and b are twelve
inches apart, Il and are thirty inches
apart, and the saving is done at the
end C. When the stick becomes so
short that there are but two lengths of

DAHOMEYAN CRUELTY.
Savage Africans Who Delight to
Fill and Torture.
Women Warriors Whose Ferocity In
Battle Mako Them More Formid-
able Than Their Male
Companions.

The people of Dahomey, who are
again threatening war with the French,
are certainly unique enough in their
manners and customs to warrant the
profound interest of the anthropolo-
gist, but the chief interest the civilized
world takes in them now is confined to
the hope that they will not be allowed
much longer to practise the awful
enormities for which they have been
famous. To kill or torture is to them
the keenest of pleasures. The Office Of
executioner is post of honor to which
only the richest and most powerful in
the land dare aspire, and, as matter
Of course, the wealthier the execu-
toner the better the opportunity for
satisfying his brutal instincts. There
is no doubt whatever that France will
crush the kingdom Of Dahomey, whether
it be now or in the early future, but
there is also no doubt that France will
have no easy task in doingit. With all
their british instincts the Dahomey
negro is above the ordinary intelligence
of the African black. He will fight
until he falls, and so will hissisters, for
the amazon or women warriors of Da-
honey are world-famed. Besides being
natural warriors they are the best dis
ciplined Of the African native tribes,
and as the king insists on success in
battle or death to the survivors, the
Dahomey warriors never confess defeat,
but fight while they have breath left
in them.
On one occasion within the past two
years several French civilians were
captured by the Dahomeyans and, GU
riously enough, liberated again with a
letter to king" Carnot of France,
written by the Dahomey sovereign, who
was in q good humor for wonder.
From the pen Of one of these French
men is obtained the best description Of
the remarkable Dahomeyan army as 1t
appears to-day. This is so interesting
that Spare Moments quotes from it the
! following:
There could be no questioning the
fact that they were fine fellows, robust
i thuu 1lli Va iluoSiCt bilClI w llluSS INV
robes bringing their ebony figures into
strong relief. Silent ourselves and a
prey to deep emotion, we traversed their
serried ranks, and after quarter Of
an hours march reached the second line,
consisting of four thousand Amazons,
the four thousand black virgins of Da-
honey, who form the bodyguard of the
king, armed with rifle and knife, and
ready to attack at the slightest signal
of their master. Old or young, plain
or handsome, they are all alike marvel
Gus to see. AS full of muscle as the
male warriors, their attitude is as well
disciplined and correct, and the leaders
at the head of each column are easily
recognized by their rich attire and their
resolute air. Such are the amazons
under arms, differing very much from
the savage horde which fancy has
painted them"
AS the population of Dahomey is es'
timated at more than two hundred
thousand, any or all of which can be
turned into soldiery by the king, it car
readily be understood that the French
will not have such a small affair or
their hands as most persons imagine.
