MAKING CHEAP PORK.
lAMONIT.
From the Baltimore American. ]

The pigs should now be put to
pasture. They require grass Just
as we'll as other animals. 1t is
very costly to keep the pigs
shut up in small pen and feed
them bought food the summer
through. This feeding makes
costely pork, takes a good amount
of time, and is not, by any means,
a healthy way to make pork,
whether for the family or for mark
ct use.
Ring each SOW and pig before
putting them out. This ringing is
easy to do, taking but five minutes
for each animal. Ringing prevents
roofing, and with a good, tight
fence around the clover lot, the
pigs will grow stout and strong,
and all that will be required to fat
ten them will be a few weeks of
extra feeding of corn late in the
season.
Clover is one of the very best
foods for either sows or growing
pigs. 1t is not heating, but de-
velopes frame, makes meat but not
much fat. A great amount of fat
is not required, for this is Of
times wasted, but what is so need
ed is nice, lean, sweet pork, which
can be eaten up clean, and that
with a relish.
Ifthe farmers persist in raising fat
hogs, let them do it. Out there
land is rich and cheap; with us
hearabouts just the opposite is the
case, generally speaking, and it
takes a great amount of costly
feed and much labor to make very
fat hogs.
A two-acre clover pasture will
feed from fifteen to twenty shoats,
and If the season is a moist one
five shoats more. The pigs should
be given fresh water to drink every
day. And, in addition, all the skim
milk, with the addition of two
bushels of mill feed per week,
made into thin slop. This Stop
should be allowed to ferment, but
should not be fed sour.
When the pasture commences to
fail, as it will do about mid-sum-
mer, the pigs should be fed on sweet
corn, cut up from the ground and
fed, stalk and all. This corn, if
possible, should be grcwn adjoin-
ing the pasture. One acre, when
the corn is in silk, will feed twenty
half-grown shoats. along with the
pasture, forty days, by actual trial
The corn should be drilled in quite,

ing foot-in rows two feet and a half
