GROWTH OF TIE HOG.
II II the Good Feeder That Gets the Best
Price for HIS Stock.

Il II the Good Feeder That Gets the Best
Price for His Stock.
To get quick growth on pig, first
get the right kind of stock, then feed
plenty of various kinds or food and
give good, roomy pen. Some hog
raisers have the best stock obtainable.
but they do not succeed in getting
them as large at a certain age as 9TH
ers. The most of the hogs that are
raised in our country have enough good
blood In them to make a fast growth
II properly cared for, but we all have
so much pushing work on the farm
that we neglect our hogs more than
anything else on the place. If we ex-
pect good results we must do our part,
and when we do this we will be
profited by it. We often notice in a
litter of pigs one or two small ones
and we generally know why they are
smaller than the others-because they
do not get their share of milk from the
dam. When we see pig that Is get
ting. behind the rest we should man
age some way to feed It and keep 1t
growing right along, for just as 1t be-
comes stunted we will find 1t a poor
feeder 1t never will grow as fast as
the others. This is why some breeders
have an uneven lot Of pigs. After the
pigs are weaned, and we begin to feed
them, we will find the larger ones
crowding the smaller ones away from
the trough. A good idea would he to
take all the smaller ones and put them
by themselves and give them all they
can eat of various kinds of food, such
as shipstuff, bran, corn meal, whole
wheat and an occasional feed of oil
meal You cannot get quick growth
on pig with corn. They soon get
tired of it.. become feverish, and begin
to root in the ground for something
cooling to their scorched stomachs.
The pig that has good range will al
ways do better than those shut up in
small pens, no matter how you feed
them. Exercise is as essential as good
feed in order to produce a fast growth.
Do not shut little pigs in a tight pen
and confine them to corn If you want
to hurry them into market The cheap.
est way to raise hogs is the quickest
way.-R. S. Fisher, in Farm and Home.

(From the Trov. N. T.. Times

NpTom uH ITov, ~. r., ItmesD
r. w. Edwards, Of Lansingburg, was
Frustrated by sunstroke during the war,
and it has entailed on him peculiar and Sc
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr. e. Is prominent officer Of Post Lyon,
g. A. r, Cohoes and past aide de camp on
the STAFF of the commander-in-chief OF Al
bany Co. In the interview with q reporter,
he said:
~ was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together with
others to Westinghouse ride of about 100
miles. Having no room In the box cars we
were placed face up ON the bottom Of fiat
cars. The sunubeat down upon our unpro-
tected heads. When reached Washington
Twas insensible aud was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; 1t has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result OF this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease nervous prostitution, in
somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. AS q last resort took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to wonder
full degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the abscess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell when before 1t felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat.
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers" Mr. Edwards said,
''do they look as il there was any rheuma
tism therel" He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. "A year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the Joints and 80 stiff that could
not hold pen. My knees would swell up,
and could not strengthen my leg out My
Joints would squeak when I moved them
That is the living truth
"When came to think thatI was going to
be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest of my ailments, l tell you life
seemed not worth living. l suffered from
dependency. / cannot begin to tell YOU"
said MIR. Edwards, as he drew a long breath,
what my feeling is at present ! think II
you lifted ten years right off my life and
left me prime and vigorous at forty,seven,
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. That in ITSELF continued Mr..
Edwards, 'would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that l am no longer what you
parently nearly healthy, and that can
sleep nights, you may realize why may APP
pear to speak in extravagant praise OF Pink
Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awfal pressure from my head, and ut
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
limbs year ago, my legs being cold and
clammy at times. Now the circulation
there is as full and as brisk rs at any other
part of my body. l used to be SO light
order that frequently fell while crossing
the floor of my house. Spring is coming
and never felt better in my life, and am
looking forward to busy season of work"

And the form Is still on the still white bed.

The good we do must be done before
The stars are out, and the night Is nigh
Wherein We never may stiIf sigh.

To hearts o'erburdened will smile for none
No aid from these for the lost who grope

Tho Eject Of Good Food.

Eggs from hens that are fed largely
on Stops and refuse are not as good for
cooking purposes as those which are
laid by hens having liberal ration OF
corn or wheat, and of the two corn
makes the richest egg, as 1t adds to the
fat content and gives the contents OF
the shell a consistency that makes it
specially valuable for baking and kim
dred uses A meat ration also adds to
the value of the eggs, and 1t is because
ducks are such ravenous hunters OF
frogs and the many insects on land
and water that their eggs are pre-
ferred to all others by bakers and con-
PETITIONERS. Guinea eggs are specially
rich in this quality and are better for
baking and making icing than those
of almost any other fowl The produc-
ton of good eggs is comparatively
new idea and it has not been discussed
half as much as its merits deserve that
IL should be.-Farm News

Food Determines Quality.

The food fed to the plant or tree, to
the fruit or flower, to the bird or beast,
determines the quality Of the product.
II we would have fine fruit, luscious
berries, beautiful flowers, snowy ever
greens, or prime quality of meat
therefrom, we must feed the food
calculated to produce them. and in
quantities called for. There is both
superior and inferor quality in all the
products of the farm, and it is regulated
in this way. The time to give vitality
to colt or calf Is before it is born,
and the same Is true of vegetable prod
ucts. Quality is determined by vitali-
ty, and both by breeding and feeding.
One can destroy the vitality to an
animal or tree by starving it.-Rural
World.

in the Edinburgh Veterinary Review
many years ago. His remark will al
ways remain true. Horses, like men,
require to he made comfortable, and
in providing that they shall be SO we
are not only doing them humanitarian
justice, but at the same time promot-
ing their health and rendering them
fit for the work they have to perform.
The space assigned them should be
ample, the atmosphere pure and OF
equable temperature and the light
abundant. The stable should be dry
and the bedding clean. All that con-
duces to the comfort of man should be
theirs in kind in the way that suits
them best as lower animals. The
horse is the most delicate of the higher
quadrupeds in the choice of food and
he should be dieted accordingly. Any
thing may be good enough for some
animals, but not for horse. He de-
lights in sound corn, abhors widowed
hay and stale mashes, as well as dirty
managers from which to eat. Needless
to say the water he drinks should be
pure and sweet He should have his
meals also as regularly as the most ex-
acting father of family. His cloth
ing should be changed with the sea-
sons-heavy in winter, light in sum-
mer. A good horse, well treated, will
repay attention in health, good spirits
and long life. The best of all treat
ment is to make him always comfort
