DIGGING

In the A~dirodiacks, in Maine, or in
Canada, wherever the American por-
cupine is found, it is not sought by
hunters as a game beast, although
hunters seldom fail to kill porcupines
at every opportunity because Of the
damage they do to dogs. On the other
hand, from Bower, Vile, near Yelling
ton, Cape Colony, Soth Africa. Walter
H. Gerard writes to the London Field
to tell how he hunted the %porcupine
with dogs after the fashion of coon
hunters, by moonlight.
The party included a parson and a
magistrate, II banker and a land own
er. The dogs trailed a %porcupine, came
up with it and bit it. The foolish dogs
bit the quilts. but the smart ones seized
the Isl When tie quilts had been
removed from the foolish dogs noses
the hunt went On. The next head Of
game sighted was a huge pig, which
was chased until 1t took to a burrow.
Another porcupine was Don after
sighted. This %pOrcupine was q large
female, and led the hunters a regular
Don chase before she died. The hun
tiers were then seven miles from home
and 1t was 100 II. M, and the branch
es were thick with dew that trickled
down their necks and soaked them
from shoe leather to head covering.
But after awhile they got home and
| sat down to a mess Of savory sasaties
Of Malay connections.
The porcupine hunters didn't now
American coons, but the coon hunter
would enjoy a South African porcu-
pine hunt by moonlight with a pack of
ungainly mongrels, and the porcupine
hunters would appreciate u harvest
moon coon hunt.

When to Market Hogs,

"a serious mistake which most farm
crs make" says G.. r. Henderson, of
Columbia, No., in Practical Farm Jour-
nal, "is in not marketing their hogs
when they are ripe, which would be
when they weigh 200 pounds. With
proper feeding a pig should reach this
weight at from eight to nine months
old. 1t has been demonstrated beyond
question that the last 100 pounds put
on q 3OO-pound hog is very expensive
meat, costing nearly twice as much
per pound to produce as the first 200
pounds; besides the risk of feeding n
hog after it becomes reasonably fat
is very great. With ordinary feeding
February hogs should weigh POO
pounds by November, but at that time
prices rule very low, and it would,
therefore, be well to crowd your pigs
from the start, and get them to mar
kct at least by the middle Of October.
AS q rule you will realize from one to
two dollars more per head by so doing.
The sooner you get your pigs up to the
required weight the less food they will
have consumed" If MI. Henderson can
crowd his hogs q little more and have
them ready for market in September,
he will get better prices on the average
than IN October. The portion of the
country which can mature it's corn suf-
ficicntly to finish it's hogs for the Sep
TENDER market has an enviablc advan-
tage.

Pigs ON the Dairy Farm.

Probably better and cheaper pigs can
be raised by the dairy farmer than any
one else. Some butter dairymen have
a demand for their by-products, but
the great majority of farmers practi-
cally waste the clabber, buttermilk
and whey. These b%y-products can be
made more profitable by the addition
Of a little corn meal, and for forcing
a pig to its utmost, nothing equals
corn meal, pure wheat bran and milk.
Where there is no cash demand for
these by-products they cannot be put
to any other use that will return neal
the same profit as when fed to pigs.
These little economics of the farm
yield the profit in agriculture and are
well worth studying. We are firmly
convinced, after several years e.pari-
ence, that dairying and pig raising go
hand in hand, and that pigs fed the
skim and buttermilk will mature more
quickly, are less liable to disease and
that their meat is of the very finest
quality. The Southern states awe a
vast acreage adapted to dairying and
If farmers adjacent to the towns aid
cities would devote their efforts TO SIP
plying the demand for butter and fresh
pork, the pig would never Fail to re-
turn his share of the profit. Might rot
this system of farming reduce the cot
ton acreage and result in benefit to
that farmer who is compelled to grow

herd.

Irresu1arity of Tides.

Tho tides in many parts of the Paci-
fic are so irregular that each run DIFF
fers from the one preceding. The tides
at IIoi-hau, in the China sea, says the
British consul of Kiurg-chow, in his
annual report, are as hopeless a puzzle
as ever. Though the customs authori-
ties have four years records, there is
absolutely no rule to be deduced from
them, and the Hoi-hau tides elude the
wit of man to account for their contin-
uous irregularity; the best explanation
given being that Of a Chinese naval
commander, who says that it is owing
to the conformation of the land. and
that water has difficulty in entering
the creek, and is greatly and variably
affected by different winds. The con-
sui adds that at times the winds are as
irregular as the tides, now and again
appearing to glow from all directions
at n In the harbor of Tonquin
there is only one tide in the twenty
four hours. This irregularity Is ex-
planned by the formation of two straits
through which the tidal wave has to
enter into the harhor. The situation
and construction Of these two straits
are such that the tide flows through
one earlier than the other. the differ
ence of time being sufficient to entirely
do away with one ebb and flow.
