As the pig is raised entirely for it,
meat. it is quite 40 item to secure the
l.rges. possible growth 10 the shortest.
length Of time, The older the pig. the
more it costs to sustain 1t without growth,
and the longer 1t is fed the more it costs
b secure any additional gain.
A pig pushed from the start will cost
less per pound vhsn it Is ready to mar
kat than one that is let go while growing
and then, after certain growth has been
made, is pushed in iatteuing. Up to a
certain stage ihegain Is more rapid and is
secured at less cost than what is m sde
Afterwards, For this reason an extra large
hog rarely pays as good profit proper
tionately as one OF medium weight. GEM
orally, with q good breed OF hogs an svl
ersge weight Of two hundred aud two
hundred aud fifty pounds can be secured
at less cost than a greater weight; some'
thing depends upon the form and chsrsc,
ter OF the hog. With some it will be
good economy TO push the growth and sall
when it weighs two hundred pounds.
With another fed under the same con,
ditions, but with natur lily larger France
it will pay well to feed for more weight
No inisllible rule can be laid down, as the
growth and condition Of the animal must
be considered The feeder must be the
Judge of when is the best to sell Usually
il is safe TO feed as loog as q good growth
il being made, There is no advantage
under present conditions OF the market
in feeding for excessive fat, q very large
size A young animal well fattened will
bring more per pound 10 market than old
er, larger animals
pig well fed from birth can neatly
be faitened for market when not over nine
m lntbs old. One advantage 10 feeding
well during groBth is that only short
feed is required to properly finish at any
time that It may be considered desirable
- sell
In being able to fatten ia short time
il is often possible to take advantage OF
a raise Ia price, when if the pigs are let
go until a a certain growth has been made
aud then are iattened, much of the oppor,
tunity to sell lie lost.
With ali stock being fed for market. the
best time to sell is when the highest price
can be realized. Often good class OF
hogs well fed from birth will bring more
money tnan scrub hogs year old.
10 order to secure 40 early maturity it
ls very essential to feed well from the
start. Feed the sows literally, giving
them ell that they will eat at each 10 cal.
Sloppy foods are always best, as they will
help the SOW to give plenty OF milk, and
then ween the pigs begin to eat they
must be well fed every day BY keep
ing in a good thrifty condition pigs will
grow fast, aud not only return better
profit, but make better quality OF meat. |

A tremendous and destructive phenom.

and the people in that region were greatly

extraordinary violence Of the volcanic errn-

Suddenly, while the volcano was belchinc

earth began to shake as il most violent

ain ridge called Cruz Iona suddenly sank
along its entire extension. The inhabitants
in the vicinity who had chance to escape
fed in terror from the scene. and not too
soon. as the sunken ridge damned up three
rivers and added devastation to the terrors
of earthquake and volcano.
Twelve persons are known to have per-
ished, and many cattle were destroyed, and
more destruction is feared, as the rivers.
whose usual channels have been obstructed
are rising radidly.
Great suffering prevails in Cauca, usually
the most aourishing department of Colon

TO the failure of the crops, and this new aud
unexpected calamity has added greatly TO
the general wretchednesS.
The volcano of SOtara is Il 034 feet high

Popayan, the capital OF the Department of

IN A FLOATING BARN,
Remarkable EscaDe of Farmer
Prices Pigs and Chickens.

During the recent big freshet in the Sus-
quehanna River the barn of William Price.
who lives near Wilkesbarre, Penn, was
carried away when the ice gorge broke. In
the barn were ten pigs and seven chickens.
Price gave up all hope of ever seeing his
stock again, expecting that the barn would
break up and the pigs and chickens drown,
but the animals and birds were born under
a lucky star.
The barn held together aud floated down
upon the big cakes of ice until the food sub
sided and left it stranded on small island
near Selins Grove, Penn, eighty-6ve miles
down the river.
There was barrel of corn in the barn,
and this had been upset by the pigs and fur
nished good living during their trip. The
animals and chickens were found by party
of men and were in good condition. The
men found something in the barn with
Prices name on it. and wrote to him. Price
went to Selins Grove, and shipped his live
stock home.
