ASHES FOR noes.

A subscriber writes: If the ground
upon which hogs are fed is clay or
contains soft rock, which the hogs eat,
will it hinder them from growing or
fattening? L fed u bunch of hogs
upon n clay hillside, which contained
soft rock, and l noticed them roofing
into the ground and eating the rock
quite often. They did not grow or
fatten as they should, but seemed very
healthy. Was told hogs would not do
well on such soil
Ii our correspondent had supplied
his hogs with ashes or something of
that nature he would have found that
they would ! ave fattened moro than
they did, and would not nave eaten
SO much of the soft rock he describes.
Hogs have craving for material of
this kind, and it should be catered to
by seeing that they always have access
to hardwood ashes. When they are
being fnttened on corn this is espec
tally advisable.
AT the Wi coEsin Experiment station
they found that the effect of feeding
such material as hardwood ashes and
bone meal to hogs receiving a corn
ration, resulted in a saving of twenty
eight per cent of the corn required to
produce 100 pounds gain. The ashes
seem to act as corrective in some
way and facilitates digestion. Hogs
will be noticed frequently munching
decayed brick, soft stone and other
like material, especially if they have
not been given ashes. In the three
experiments referred to, in feeding
ashes, 1t took 4S7 pounds of cornmeal
to produce 100 pounds of gain, when
bone meal was fed, and 929 pounds
when these were withheld from the ra-
ton and corn fed alone. The strength
of the bones of the hogs was more
than doubled by fee ling bone meal, n
fact which has an important bearing
on the common trouble experienced 10y
fattening hogs losing the use of their
legs owing 10 weakness. Farm, Field

The most successful fruit growers
cultivate the ground under the orch
ards. But when they wish to check
the too-luxuriant product of wood and
leaf they SOW the land with clover, to
take up some of the surplus fertility
of the soil, and thus greatly increase
the yield and quality of the fruit.
And this cultivation of the land uu-
der the trees has precisely the same
effect as the working of the land under
a corn crop. Natures method with
every kind of plant is to grow a great
variety together, the strongest getting
ahead of the weakest ones, but only
making a poor growth Mt the best; and
if we should follow natures method
of supporting the aboriginal man, as
much weed among animals as the
weeds of the forest are among the

Professor II nry says in Farmers
I Home: TTor tic market price or cost
of production in the great west In
dian corn is beyond all comparison
the cheapest single food article for
hogs.
One of the most im2o rtant things
to ensure a successful crop is to have
the land well prepared, SO that the af-
ter cultivation and wedding may be
done by tue latest and most approved
methods.
Our American people have not dis
played prevailing taste for the flesh
of the goose, because they do not
know good thing when they see it.
No fowl, unless it be the duck. makes
finer dish than well fed and prop
erly cooked goose, and our people
should be educated to an appreciation
OF the iact aud the fowl
In the case of the pigs AMI calves,
at times, the sire was often an I'M
known quantity. The mother stock
cost hut little the food for all was not
expensive, buildings were seldom pro-
vided where there was range of the
woods for winter shelter, and with 80
little expense there was chronic indif-
terence IN regard to results.
Turning little chicks ont to run with
the mother hen through wet grass and
over bushes, brias, logs, fences, and
stones is a good way to reduce the
flock to number more conveniently
handled, AMI requiring less food and
less house room. This plan is a good
one for those who have moro chicks
matched than they wish to raise.
If cockrels are separated from the
hens at an early age they may be
grown to larger size and still be ex-
cellent food for the table; at least SO
say those who are opponents of capon-
izing. They claim that considerable
portion of the birds sold in Partisan
markets are but cockerels which have
been never allowed to run with hens.
There are few that cannot make it
profitable to raise fowls for sale or for
home use; and every one should havo
enough pride to demand good stock,
and refuse to handle any other. It
costs but little to get n start of fine
fowls, and the pleasure of looking at
them is worth something, while nock

SHAVING STANDS:

There's economy in shaving
if a man could only learn to
handle a razor without danger
of losing his skin. But women
folks have such a fashion of
putting things IN out of the

encouragement for a man to
practice the BARRIERS act upon
himself unless he is certain
that he can find his shaving

and yet the prices are not what

Birch sets with dressing cases
having cheval plate mirrors
are preferred by ladies, because
the long glass allows them a

is quite as fashionable and as
much in demand because the

tageous positions and we're busily
occupied in waving adieus to
friends on shore. The band was
on the poop deck and alternated
with tho government band on the

airs. For ten minutes previous
to her departure the flagship was

CHIFFONIERS::

In these days when ladies
require many changes of cloth
ing, or where the family house
hold is made up of many little
ones, there is a demand for
space in which to put things
away. The bureau drawers
are crowded and few houses in
Honolulu are provided with
necessary closets. A Chitfo-
nier, then, is necessary in
every home where storeroom
is scarce.
These are made nowadays
for the use of gentlemen as
we'll as ladies, and the designs
for one are quite as pretty as
for another; some have a drop
lid which unfolds to the gaze
