Beginning to Fatten Hogs.

The only successful way to grow pork
is to keep pigs in thrifty growing condi-
ton from birth. This does not mean
h a they shall be fattened, for the
kind of food given them ought not to
be largely fat producing. But they will
be always ready with a little extra
feeding to make the very best of pork.
Such pigs hardly need any extra pre-.
paration for heavy grain feeding, for
their whole life has been so regular that
their digestive organs will be ready for
anything. Still, it is well before begin
ming to feed corn heavily to give the
pigs a full diet of some food that will
distend but will not overload the stom-
ach. What is wanted is some fruit or
vegetable that will digest easily. The
old plan of boiling apples, small po-
tatoes and pumpkins, mixing in with
this some fine wheat mid1lings, makes
an excellent dict. If some corn meal
is added and the corn meal gradually
increased, the hogs may be fattened in
to the best and sweetest pork on this
ration. Such pork will have no fever
in it. This is whit makes very fat
corn-fed pork so difficult of digestion
by people whose stomachs are not
strong.

FOR THE FARMERS.
VALUABLE POINTERS ON FARM
WORK.
Sowing Grass Seed Before or After
the DriII-Tfme to PIow SOd-After
Potatoes Have misunderstanding
Winter Grain Too Early.

In the farm economy the sowing Of
grass seed is a very important matter,
yet there is a diversity of opinion re-
garding the matter of sowing before or
after the grain has been drilled or
b~roadcasted, and then narrowed, says
L. d. Snooke In Orange Judd Farmer.
If sown in any name before drilling,
some claim that much seed Is lost
by being buried too deeply, and the
same point is raised If sOwn before the
grain is ~broadcasted, either by machsl-
cry or hand in the usual manner These
advocates claim that sowing the grass
seed Immediately after drilling or har-
rowing, and then rolling The surface.
will cover the seed sufficiently. Should
the soil be mellow and a rain follow.
much of the seed will terminate. How
ever, the covering is too shallow and a
large part of it so little covered that
in a dry time, much of that which ger
minated is too near the surface and is
without sufficiently developed roots to
keep the young seedlings alive.
Most Of the improved grain drills
have the grass seeder attached in font
of the grain sower, and many farmers
will use no other, claiming that while
some Of the grass seed is no doubt
buried too deeply for termination, the
greater portion grows almost as read
lily as the grain. That which is placed
too deeply will remain uninjured in
the soil for many years. This is espe-
cially true of all the ~clovers, as they
contain much oil that prevents decay,
and seeds thus buried have been known
to terminate ten years after being thus
deposited, the blowing Of the land
after the expiration of that period hav-
ing placed the seed at the proper
depth. Hence deeply sown seed is not
always lost.
When commercial fertilizers are sown
with the grain and the drill teeth are
not set ZigZag, the sowing of grass
seed after drilling has one good point,
as a large percent Of the seed falls
into the little furrow made by the
drill teeth and is consequently i'm
mediately above the fertilizer, and If
it nee gets a foothold it makes a rapid
and desirable growth. One great draw
back to this seeding after sowing is the
unprepared, coarse and lumpy condition
of the surface soil. If the seed should
NC So"h w lOlllbS III tlNC
surface then brushed over with a light
harrow, the latter operation would
prove of great value. By far too many
farmers are careless in this line Of
work, when, if properly done, it would
show better results than any other of
the farm operations. Grass seeds are
expensive and on the proper prepare
ton Of the soil often depends the sue
cess or failure of the future meadow
and pasture land. Too often it is
necessary to reseed the following year,
which also requires another grass crop
to be taken from the perhaps already
impoverished soil. With falI-sown
wheat or rye, it will insure a better
catch, nine times in ten, to SOW TIM
othy in the fall. If it should possibly
fail to grow, it may be sown the follow
ing spring, adding clover, if desired,
at that time.

Deterioration of Varieties,

There is, or used to be, a common
idea among farmers that varieties of
grain, vegetables and fruits run OUT
until they finally become not worth
growing. Some have said that this in.
Dictated a general law unler which a
variety had a certain period Of growth,
of maturity and Of decay, much like q
human life. This was nonsense. Vari-
cites only deteriorate in localities or
Under circumstances which do not give
them chance for full development of
their best points. The deterioration is
quite rapid in places unsuited TO their
growth. Where conditions are favora-
BILE, with good care in selecting seed
each year the variety will continue for
ever. We knew a year or two ago a
farmer who had kept the Early Rose
potato, growing it each year. and it
was as productive as this variety was
when first introduced. The potato
crop has Of late years been a difficult
n to keep old varieties up to their
first standard of quality and produc-
tiveness. Every injury to the leaves
from potato bug or blight damages
the quality Of the tubers, and this in
turn makes the seed potato less valu-
able. After a very few years of injury
from potato bugs the variety soon
loses its productiveness and is said to
have run out"

Perfumes had their origin in the
burning of incense, and on the walls

The potato beetle and larva have
made their appearance in England.
The London Agricultural Gazette
prints complaints of farmers that they
cannot effectively spray with poisons
to destroy the slugs, because the spray
ing only reaches the upper surface of
the leaf. while the slug is a great part
of the time under the leaf out of reach
of any application. This may be the
fact in English climates, where on
many summer days the under side of
the leaf is often the dryest and most
comfortable place the bug can find.
In our American climate the bug finds
plenty of sunshine and when feeding
is always in it. If the larva retires to
h underSide of the leaf at night it
does not then need to eat anything be-
fore morning sunshine tempts him to-
the surface again. In England, being
so much on the under side of the leaf,
necessity may force the larva to the
habit of eating there. But in a eli
mate thus damp and cool the potato
will not rapidly increase if his insect
enemies are encouraged, or at least not
destroyed by poisons.

A Girls First Fancy,

1t is always to be regretted, 1 think,
when love M to a girl before she
has attained her moral and intellectual
majority, writes Mrs. Burton Kings
land i'll the October Ladies' Home
Journal. The man whom she would
love at sixteen is often quite different
from II to whom she would give her
more mature affections. and there is
always the danger of seeing him at a
disadvantage, when larger experience
of other men will lead her to make COM
PARSONS. There are some things to
which time is the only guide, and in so
momentous a step as the choice of the
companion of a lifetime, f'the unreason-
ing madness of love" can, in extreme
youth, rarely be trusted. A young girl
has so many illusions, so little knowl-
edge of human nature, so slight an ac-
quaintance with her own heart, as to
make the risk always a serious one.

Triumphed Over All Opposition.
The women of Ontario are indebted
to DR.. Emily Stowe and Miss Clara
Brett Martin, both Toronto women,
for their successful efforts in tearing
down the stone wall of prejudice which
existed in the matter of university CO.
education, and barred their way to the
medical and legal professors. DR..
Stoves fight was long and bitter, but
she finally won her cause. None less
~stubEornly cont asted was Miss Clara
Brett Martins application to the Law
Society of Upper Canada for admission
as a student at law, say he Buffalo
Express. Miss. Martin is a Toronto
young woman, m~atriculating in Toronto
university in 1856. She graduated in
1890, taking high honors in mathematics
and Immediately after petitioned the
benches to be entered as a student of
the laws" The law society almost con-
te%mptuously denied her request. She
then petitioned the legislature on the
subject and a bill WAS introduced pro-
viding for the admission of women
to the study and practice of Jaw. 1t
was passed by a majority of one after
a. ittulNt bictltoSlob, u was dltlCllNttu
so as to admit women to practice as
solicitors only. Miss Martin then petit
toned the benchers, but met with re-
peated defeats until Sir Oliver Mowat's
presence and vote at one Of the meet
ings of the law society gave her cause
a majority of one, and on May Is, 1893,
the plucky young woman was articled
in a well known law firm. She is the
only oma in Canada who is qualify
ing for the practice of the law, and her
chances of success. as the pioneer We

interest. The results of the first year
law examinations at Toronto university
were posted at Osgood hall on Satur-
day, June 9. Miss Martins name ap-
pcared in the list of successful candi-
dates, and she is, therefore, fully
launched on her legal carer.

Digestibility of Foods.

Animal foods, such as meats, fish,
eggs, and milk, are rather. more di-
gestible than most of the vegetable
foods, although bread made from ordi-
rear white wheat flour is very Easily
and completely digested. Bread from
whole wheat -four, or that from which
only part of the hull Of the grain has
been removed, is not so completely di-
gestible, but is decidedly nealthful for
some people in aiding the passage of
the food through the inteStineS.
There are great differences in people
in respect to their power for utilizing
different kinds of food. 1Iilk is one
Of the most wholesome and digestiblc
of foods and yet there are people who
cannot endure it. Late research makes
1T probable that in the changes which
milk undergoes in the body injurious
compounds are sometimes formed, and
that his is the reason why milk does
not agree with some people. The case
is the same with eggs, with certain
fruits, as the strawberry, and indeed
with many different food materials.
Hence it may be literally true that
"One mans meat is another mans poi
SON" But while there are exceptions,
the general rule holds good that, for
ordinary people with good powers of
digestion and assimilation, the nutritiye
values of the ordinary standard food
materials are measured pretty accurate
ly by their chemical composition, and
h a the right mixtures of food are
those which furnish the nutrients in
the proportions demanded by the body.
