Hogs.

A short, compact body in sow in
dictates tendency to fatten, and not
to bring large filters and furnish
them with milk. If she should pro-
duce fewer than eight pigs at the
first litter, it. may be considered
that she is Improbable to keep as a
breeder, and she would better be
fattened. Select those with long
bodies, we'll rounded ribs and 10 or
IL teats, well spread apart.
A hog will feed upon almost any
thing if he has the opportunity and
is spurred on by hunger, but the best
growth and the best meat are pro-
cured by laying out his rations sys-
tematically. He may not be a Guilt
waited fellow, but he will bear a little
more cultivation than he usually re-
ceives. We might even cultivate a
better acquaintance with him, with
profit to ourselves.
We should keep our hog pens
clean of not only the visible dirt,
but should destroy any vermin or
seeds of disease which may have
lodged there. A hog will wallow in
filth, but his health is better if he
has clean quarters. A free use OF
whitewash and carbolic acid will
go far toward increasing the profit.
One cannot use too much care in
putting up the supply of pork fol
home use. Do not think of using
the old barrel without giving it q
thorough cleansing; sometimes a

a strong solution of soda, will

Horses.

The brood mare and her yearly
colt are items of profit in the live
stock department which should not
be overlooked. A colt grows rapidly
into money, and good one is always
salable see that you produce good
one while you are about it. Every
farmer should be to some extent a
horse raiser.
The proper time to sell horse is
when you have had the largest OBJ
tainable profit upon the time and
money expended in growing him, or
when you can place his value where
it will do you more good. Individ-
ual conditions must determine the
age at which it is best to sell. If
the man and environment are adapt
ed to the work, it is always best to
raise to full maturity.
Good horses advance ones profits
in two wayS-more work is done by
the same number of teams, and
second, they produce colts of better
selling value. 1t is easy to see why
mares should be used as largely as
possible for farm work. Breed them
to stations of the best draft or road
type, and we will have colts worth
80 per cent. more than the ordinary
farm product.
There is something lacking in that
mans common sense who has tine
cattle and the best of hogs and
sheep, and yet does the work of the
farm with pair of wornout and
broken down horses. The best ecOno-
my of labor is reached by having
laborers in the best physical condi-
ton, both men and horses. There
is no money in scrub help of any
kind.

nnayl BIT

Since the silo has become popular
in America, in many cases soiling
has been carried beyond the point of
safety in the feeding of dairy herds,
and the cows have been kept up in a
a life so artificial as to injure their
constitutions. We should not for
get the value of dry folders. 1t aids
digestion, if good, and properly
used, but often the quantity is too
great, and the condition bad.
The farmer must know a little of
everything more than any other
man whatsoever. He must at least
know enough of the laws of me-
chanics to mitch to his wagon or his
plow properly. He does not have to
be a mechanic, however, to know
that dull tool increases the draft
of his team; if he wants them to go
through the spring blowing in good
shape, he must see to his plOwshare.
He who follows diversified farm
ing is usually self sustaining, even
in the poorest of years, rather than
he who stakes everything on single
crop. He has the sustenance fol
himself, his family and his working
stock; he has money crop from his
fields and his fiocks; he fattens his

own herds from his own homegrown
crops; he has his orchard, his gar
den and his berry patch, and is to be
envied by his richer neighbor.
There is no danger of the market
ever being overstocked or the inter-
ests of farmers in general suffering
because each one may be trying to
do his level best; he who does not
do his best is the one to suffer. In
communities the most prosperous
each member is making his land
produce its utmost, industry and in
telligence going hand in hand. If a
man is too shiftless, let him confess
it, but never try to find reasonable
excuse.
Potatoes with the eyes started and
half rubbed off have lost much of
their value for feed. If carefully
buried in the fall they will come
out with eyes as dormant as when
put in the pit; they will be harder
from evaporation of their moisture,
while those in cellars are soft from
the starting of the eyes, which rap
idly take out the substance needed
to give the potato set its first start
after being planted.
The plant uses lime, but there are
always many thousand pounds more
in the soil than crop can use, and
further additions are not needed as
manure, but to promote the phys
ical and chemical changes desired
in the soil and to increase the activ-
ity of the nitrifying organisms in a
soil Astounding in humus. 1t is
hardly direct food, but it is eX-
haustive, because it sets free the
potash, ready for the growing plants.
In land called poor there is still a
great amount of plant food in an un-
available condition. Even in a sim
gle season thorough tillage will help
nature to more of this food. Poor
blowing and slight borrowings on
such lard will give but poor results.
Very few put as much labor on their
land as they might to advantage.
Let wiser man take hold of their
fields for a season, and he might
surprise them.
The effect of extra tillage lasts
more than one year; when given for
a corn or a potato crop we may eX-
pect, everything else being favora-
BILE, to see some increase from the
wheat or clover or grass following,
This is,more especially true in heav-
Ter land, devoid of vegetable matter
from long cropping. 1t pays to get
good tools and to have plenty OF
horses, that we may do most thor

Poultry.

That market bones produce Won
derful results when fed to poultry is
indisputable the lean meat and
gristle furnish elements which form
the white of the egg and 10 per cent.
of the yOlk. The marrow and other
fats on the bone supply the remain
der of the yolk.
The buttermilk which would grow
a pig will grow enough poultry to
buy all the pork an ordinary family
needs. The farmer who has plenty
of the article will find that it pays
better to give it to his fowls than to
any other stock on the farm. Give
it to the poultry every time, rather
than to the pig.
From January until September our
ducks will furnish us eggs; next, we
can pick them and fill our pillows
and bed ticks; during the winter the
market can be supplied with good
fat roasts. The feathers will repay
us for our work, and the eggs and
meat will be profit.
Keeping the fowls yarded on a
town lot is no serious impeachment in
the way of making money from
poultry. DO not make the mistake
of keeping too many or too many
kinds, for the fewer number with
good care will yield a greater per
cent. of profit. Be sure to have the
warmth in winter and the shade in
summer.
1t is said that in calm weather the
fowls all roost on their poles with
their heads alternating each way,
that they may better see one anoth-
err; but when a high wind is coming
they roost with their heads all one
way, that they may better hold their
positions; but how under the sun do
they know when it is going to blow
before morning!
There should be more care taken
that the fowls have pure drinking
water; this they can not have from
old filthy, wooden troughs; tlu, iron
or earthen ware is much better. See
that it is kept in the shade in warm
weather, and let the supply be ever
present and abundant. Never com
bel them to drink water standing in
the barnyard.
Botn a wild fowl and tame one
become broody when they have a
nest full of eggs. On this theory II
is contented by some that broodi'
mess may be induced by the means
of china eggs. The eggs can be
gathered from day to day, and YET
the effect upon the visual organs
will by and by make the hen con
clude she wants to sit.
The poultry breeder is too often
looked upon as a crank, although he
has bred poultry as skillfully and in
diligently as any raiser of cattle OF
horses. The science of breeding /:
Just as applicable to poultry as t.
other farm stock, but the majority
have no thought of breeding espe
cially for eggs or the table.
Find out the breed which makes
the best market poultry, for every
poultryman who raises laying fowls
must kill off his cockerels, which
constitute about half of what h,
raises; and to get the best profits
even the laying hens should be forced
upon the market after they hay,
laid one year.

CATTLE.

There is often difference of more
than 80 per cent. in the selling price
of improved stock over scrubs, vet
the breeder of the latter will excuse
himself by saying that the scrubs
are hardy and less expensive to feed
and care for. There is not much to
be said to such man. He gets his
own reward-in small returns.
The science of feeding is much
better understood than it was a gem
Grafton ago, but there is still room
for considerable improvement Ten
head of young cattle, well fed and
comfortably kept, will bring a bet
ter return than will 20 left to shift
for themselves; but there must be
caution against the other extreme,
lest we interfere with digestion and
appetite.
1t is now generally agreed that we
must grind our feed to get the full
est benefit therefrom. 1t may not
be, in every case, however, that the
added profit will pay for the grind
ing. Though there be not much ac
tual value in the corn cob, its coarse
ness compels the animal to renew
its food, insuring better digestion
than when the grain is fed only.
The more testimony we get the
less Objectionable the practice of de-
horning seems. We certainly get to
be little stronger advocates of it
every time we read an account of a
farmer being killed by a vicious
bull. 1t is foolhardy to ever put
ones self in the power of such an
animal, whatever our confidence in
them may be.
