Agriculture.

Be careful not to use brine from
the beef barrel in curing pork; no
matter how thoroughly it has been
boiled, it will surely faint it. Pork
will not keep in a barrel which has
once kept beef, though this rule does
not work the other way, as beef will
keep we'll in a pork barrel.
If given the chance, horse, cow
or hog will lick up the ashes in a
burnt over district of forest; some-
thing in the ashes satisfies natural
craving of animals. Mixed with
charcoal and a little salt, it should
be constantly kept near swine.
There is, therefore, more than one
useful purpose to which wood ashes
can be put on the farm.
Stirring the soil III warm weather
makes it warmer by admitting the
outside air. 1t also stimulates de-
composition of any vegetable matter
the soil contains, and thus directly
adds to the available supply of fer
tility. Unless the cultivator is kept
busy, manure makes the weeds grow
as we'll as the crop.
1t does not pay to cultivate during
wet weather, for after being once OF
twice transplanted the weeds get a
tenacity of life which makes it al
most impossible to kill them. Use
the cultivator only while the sun is
shining, so that the weeds uprooted
may wilt and perish at once.
When preparing the wheat ground
arrange to let it lie for some days
after working down fine and firm, SO
that the weeds will start, and then

Stock.

Sheep and hogs are utilizers OF
waste. Sheep eat the weeds which
other animals reject, gather them
for themselves, and enrich the land
where they are kept. Swine eat
food which almost everything else
rejects, and also leave behind them
rich legacy as fertilizer; and
both convert all they eat into pro-
fitable products.
Hogs will make a very fair growth
with good clover pasture, but will
gain much more rapidly if they can
have, in addition, all the slops they
can eat. Middlings and milk make
one of the cheapest and best feeds
for growing pigs, and they can be
given all they can eat twice a day
with profit.
While it is a detriment rather
than benefit to over feed swine,
yet in nearly all cases, and especial
ly when it is desired to push the
growth, it will pay to feed all they
will eat up clean, and the more regu-
larly this is done the better will be the
results procured; nor is the digestion
of hogs easily deranged.
If every farmer would use pure
bred sires only, the value of the
stock of the country would be
doubled in a few years, and stock
farming would not pay; but scrub
stock farming would pay; it cannot
and will not pay in any country where
land is worth more than very few
dollars an acre.
No two animals are alike; no two
produce third which is a duplicate
of either of the parents; neither can
they produce an animal which rep
resents the parents in equal proper
tions. Some force or forces, obedient
to the laws which govern them, are
always active in producing varia-
tions.
Ponds, like streams, afford inn
menso advantages to owners of
stock, and, like them, too, they often
prove a sorce of serious loss. Though
indispensable, they are often but lit
tie better than plague spots, and
thousands of young animals die
every year from parasitic ills in
Cured by drinking from them.
You can not push hogs too fast, if
you use the right kind of food; and
remember that in fattening hogs it
will lessen the cost if they are pro-
vided with clean, tight pens, and a
dry, clean sleeping place. Pigs
which have been once stunted do
not make as good use of food as
those which have always been kept
thrifty.
1t is important that pigs get used
to full feeding before they are wean-
ed, otherwise there is danger of
stunning them. An effort to wean
them is not usually necessary, if
properly managed; they will stop
sucking at the proper time without
any check to their growth. /
The breeder who is constantly
changing his stock can show no
great improvement nor obtain any
decided advantage; and good con-
stitution, with a good frame and
digestive organs, is of more impor-
lance than color. Fat is produced at
less cost than lean, and it carries
away less fertility from the farm.
If the orchard is seeded down to
clover it affords one of the very best
places for a hog to pasture, and
especially so after the trees are in
bearing. So long as their stomachs
are kept full they are not likely to
get mischievous, nor to cause trouble
in any way; but this depends some
what upon the way they have been
handled for past generations.

tear it up with cultivator or cutaway
harrow and kill them. If this can
be done two or three times, it will
help greatly in the future.
Do not lay by the potatoes nor
corn too soon. Keep on with shallow
tillage. You are then making plant
food available for the wheat which
follows, helping the present crop a
little if you do not go too deep, and
keeping the weeds down. Even cut
off the late stray weeds in the potato
patch, to keep them from going to
seed.
