Roots for Feed.

The cheapest winter feed for swine
is roots. They may not have 50
much nutriment in themselves, but
they cause the hog to get more out
of his other feed, just as good clover
pasture causes the hog to get moro
out of grain. Turnips and ruta-
bagas may be- grown on the land from
which early potatoes or sweet corn
has been removed; or q piece of
clover sod may be broken up after
the hay is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence to pour
the slop in the pigs trough. The
fighting pigs will cause you to spill
good part of the slop, and resting
your weight on your abdomen sup
ported by rail is not healthful exer-
else. Pass trough through the pen
into the other trough. And if you
nail board over the top of the first
trough, the pigs cannot stop it with
their noses and waste. the slOp when
it is poured in.
The old-fashioned way is to dip
the buckets in the slop' barrel, lift
them out with hard. high lift, all
dripping and overlooking with the
greasy stuff, and so carry them. Of
course the man that does that, gets
greasy, dirty clothes. The new way
is to set the barrel up on blocks and
dish out a place for the bucket to set.
and then put big faucet in the bar
rel. This way there is no hard Lift
ing, no buckets greasy on the oat'
side, no drip or overflow.
A little pains to sun-scald the
troughs, if they get sour under cover,
will pay. If it be damp and cloudy
scald them out with boiling water
and feed few handfuls of powdered
charcoal to correct acidity of the
hogs stomach. Farm Journal.

More Early Apples Needed.

All kinds of early apples bring
good prices. They are known as
''harvest apples" because they ripen
during the grain harvest, and this
explains in part the reason of their
higher price. The older orchards
were planted or grated when grain
was the principal crop, and fruit of
any kind was only incidental So
hundreds of late fall and winter
apples were planted for the market,
while only two or three were pro-
vided for home use. Yet these early
apples are generally surer bearers
every year than are the later fruit.
and would probably be more sure yet
to bear if the trees were MANFRED
with stable manure and potash every
winter The reason why early apples
need higher manuring is because the.
nitrogen and potash in the soil only
begins to become available about
midsummer, at the time when the
ripening of summer apples ought to-
be completed. The same necessity
exists for extra manuring of the
earliest ripening peaches and pears

experiment Of buying for a nominal
sum per load the fresh cobs from
which the green sweet corn has been
cut. He will feed these to his swine
preparatory to fattening them, and
as the corn is not cut closely the
green cobs ought to contain much
nutriment. National Stockman.

Globe Fish.

The celebrated "globe fish" is not
always globe shaped. They have the
power of distending themselves into
a globular form by initiating a large
air sac in the abdomen. When this
is blown out they assume q normal
shape.

Homo Hints

Place shallow dish of charcoal In
the ice chest to keep 1T sweet.
The clothes will be whitened by
putting teaspoonfu of borax in the
rinsing water.
Powdered borax, while harmless to
mankind is destructive to reaches,
ants, and other vermin-
Ripe tomatoes, it is said, will re-
move ink and other stains from the
hands; also from white cloth.
Kate Field says that perhaps
noble race. may be evolved out of
fried meat, hot soda biscuits. Ice
water and the great American pie,
but she doesn't believe it.
The most nanseous physic may be
given to children without trouble by
previously letting them suck a
peppermint lozenge, a piece of alum
or bit Of orange peel. Many peo-
pie make the mistake of giving q
sweet afterwards to take away the
disagreeable taste; it is far better to
destroy it in the first instance.
flannels should never be wrung or
ironed, says writer in the New
York Ledger. They should be first
dipped in quite hot snds, then rinsed
in water Of about the same tempera-
ture, in which little soap has been
put TO get rid of the first suds
they should be gently pressed. and
after l.insing ,oe pinned out on lines
without any wringing or pressing
whatever.

Orchard grass is good grass, and

vents the growing of other grasses
The American Cultivator kills.
Canada thistles by blowing as deep
as possible when they are in full
bloom.
When COW is fed just before, she
is MIXED she expects it, and if she
does not get it she may not give
down her milk.
Feeding hay instead of grass while
the calf is on milk is practiced by
some. 1t is claimed that the bowels
keep in better condition.
Thirty to forty pounds of good
corn ensilage fed in the morning is
about what COW should have o.
that kind of feed for the day.
The work horse will relish mix
ture of wheat bran and soaked corn
say three quarts Of bran to SIX
ears of corn. Horses become tired
of corn alone.
The sweat from the horse umites
with ammonia and oil and makes a
very rotting product for harness,
which. necessitates special care of
harness in summer.
Stock should not be- allowed to be-
come salt hungry. They are more
likely to hurt themselves when they
do get to salt. The best plan is to
keep salt where they can help them
selves at any time.
