this OF their own free will they should
be driven about gently. This exercise
will keep her muscles hard and in
splendid order. and it is the muscular
system that must resist the pain of
narrowing chiefly.
AS the narrowing time approaches
separate the sows from the other hogs
so that they will not be worried. Give
them clean straw for bedding. and
clean out their pens every few DAYS
TO make their conditions as pleasant
as possible. No corn should be given
now. Feed largely on loose Stops so
that costiveneS> will not result. This
is one of the dangers of the narrowing
time, and causes fever and other
trouble. On the contrary. she should
not be allowed to grow so loose as to
cause weakness. The Judgment of the
owner must be exercised in such a
case. Give the animal all the water
she needs, for she will become more

When the pigs have been born the
mother needs the most care. Give her
all she wants, and keep standing in
the pen few handfulS of bran and
mlddllngS stirred in water She should
not be forced to eat. Let her eat
when she feels like it. The pigs for the
first few days will require very little
to eat. By the time the pigs begin to
eat much she should be fed more lib
orally, and in a week or two she should
have all the milk-producing food she
wants to eat then. See that the swill
is clean and sweet and not sour. The
latter will cause scourS and other
bowel trouble. If the SOW appears
feverish and shows a disposition to in

be cooled with a cloth saturated with

FEED FOR STOCK.

1t is very important that feed should
be ground for young stock whose teeth
are not sufficiently developed to mas
: ticate the grains and foods properly
In some cases older animals with
good teeth are benefited by grinding
! the food for them. They get into the
habit of eating so rapidly that malt
the grain enters their stOmachs whole
and the outer tough covering of oats,
| barley, corn and other grains cannot
! be destroyed by the strong acids of the
stomach. Not only Is the grain vast
ed without the animals receiving any
direct benefit from it, but the stomach
is frequently injured by the whole
grains passing through. Indigestion
and f1atulency very often owe their
cause entirely to this.
In series of experiments carefully
made, it was found that in all cases
the animal derived more nutritive
benefit from ground grain than from
whole grain. The simple crushing of
the grain is sufficient. Even though
the animals swallow it without mas
tication, the juices of the stomach will
enter into it and prepare it for easy
that his grain goes further by grind
ing or crushing the feed than when
fed whole.
Woodworking horses that are allow
ed only a short rest in the middle of
the day need ground food and not
whole grain. They are tired then, and
the stomach is often unable to handle
properly the food put into it. Ere
quently the animals are worked again
before the stomach can possibly digest
half the whole grains swallowed. By
grinding the grain and mixing a little
water with it, the horses can very
easily digest the feed, and they will
get direct benefit from the food within
a very short time. Horses fed in the
middle Of the day with crushed. and
moistened grains will be in better con-
dition at night than those fed whole
grains.
1t is not a difficult matter to grind
feed in these days. Small hand ma
chimes come for the purpose, but those
that turn by horse power are better
The latter are needed On very, large
stock farms. or where a number of
farmers cooperate to get their feed
ground. The amount saved will more
than pay for the extra labor and the
cost of the machine. The other ex-
IRENE of feeding animals Underground
food at all times should not be adopt /
ed, for that is weakening to the
stomachs of the animals. Fine feed
enters the stomach in a mass, and
forms dough that the juices cannot
penetrate. By feeding a little coarse
food with all the fine feed the two are
mixed so that the stomach can dispose
of both at the minimum cost of labor.

POITITRY

If you can get your hens to lay we'll
from November to March, you will
find plenty of satisfaction in the egg
business. A warm house, good ventila-
| ton, plenty of sunshine and good food
are fine perSuaders.
Have you yet realized what a pleas
ure it is to go into a clean, newly
whitewashed hen house? A good time
/ to clean up is now, then again in
March; this will keep things looking
clean and attractive. The outside of
buildings should be painted and inside
whitewashed; whitewash the inside
any way.
Ten hens in a house that is tel feet
| square, with yards ten times the size
of the house, is a rule to go by; ten
hens with one male is the correct mat
ing. and ten eggs under a sitting hen
in winter are enough. Ten weeks are
| long enough to keep a broiler before
it goes to market. A pair of ducks
or fowls should weigh not over ten
pounds; ten cents per pound is near
the average price for fowls in market
and ten cents should feed hen one
month.
Ventilation, properly arranged, is es-
Sentia1 to the health of the fowls in
winter, and it tends to increase their
egg laying. Every hennery should
have ventilatOr but it should always
be closed tight on the approach of cold
weather. Many ventilators do more
harm than gOOd-the idea is to keep
! the air circulating only when the
weather is warm; during cold weather
sufficient ventilation can be given by
throwing the doors and windows open
in the day time. If impure doors seem
to affect the inhabitants of the house,
the one thing needed is thorough
cleaning throughout. Cold winds and
draughts from ventilatOrs cause the
death of more fowls than almost any
| thing else in the improved sort of hen
| houses. Ventilation is essential to the
health of the fowls, and hence to their
egg laying, but it can only be OBJ
tanned by forethought and care. Watch
| the thermometer and regulate the air
accordingly; it will pay in the end

BEE1S GROWN FROM BUDS.
Every grower of beets has noticed
the small buds that appear near the
top of the root. These are indeed min
nature plants, and If cut out and
planted, just as potato eyes are, each
will next season produce perfect beet
plant with as large a root downward
as one grown from seed. 1t may seem
that there can be no practical object
in growing beetS thus, for it is always
easy to grow beet seed. But it is
found that when a high grade of sugar
beet has been secured by sowing
strains of the sweetest beets there is
q tendency to rctrOgrade in quality.
Hence some beet sugar growers in Eu-
rope are experimenting in growing
from the bud. Having once obtained
a root with high per cent of sugar the
quality can be maintained by growing
stock from buds. It is possible that
this process if continued long will
tend to establish a growth of beet
roots with many prongs and shoots.
This form of growth would be objec-
tionable as making the beet less com

Beauties ofa Fog.

beauty that is unique. This appears

the moisture-laden air above and

SCOTCH-IRISH.
Preparations for the Sixth Congress to
he held In Des Moines in June.

ne nelu IN Dos MONIES IN June.
The sixth annual congress of tie
scOtch-lrish society OF America will be
Held in Des Moines. Iowa, from June Z
to 10, 1894. Not only members of the
society, but all Scotch-Irish people and
their descendants throughout the
country, and the local population
without regard to nationality, are
most cordially invited to attend and
participate in the exercises, which are
all of popular character.
The objects of the society are purely
historical and social. 1t is entirely
non-sectarlan and non-partisan.
Organized five years agoit has stead
lily grown in numbers and influence
until it is now one of the most power
full organizations of its kind in exist
cnce. Perhaps no other organization
OF its size IN this country has more
distinguished and influential member
ship. 1t has been welcomed to the re-
spective states in which it has met by
the highest official authorities, and it
assemblies here upon the invitation Of
the highest officers and the strongest
organizations in Iowa.
As the prestige of the society in
creases with its age, each succeeding
congress is an improvement on those
that have gone before; and the meet
ing at Des Moines is therefore expect
ed to be the most successful gathering
of the race yet held.
The addresses of welcome will be
delivered By Hon. Frank ID. jackson,

president of the state society. Among
other distinguished speakers who will
