CARE OF PIGS,

Practical Suggestions to Those Who Raise
Their Own Meat.

pigs life he requires close attendance.

~ results in the death of one or more
of the youngsters. If the board be put

Noverlying" or smothering need be
anticipated. The sow and pigs should
be disturbed as little as possible for the
first few days, but sufficient attention
should be given to see that all the pigs
suck, and if the stock is to be sold for
breeding purposes it will often be
accessory to treat the tails of the
young pigs to keep them from falling
of; 1t is generally thought that this
falling off of the tails is due to cold
and dampness. This is not SO, as
they suffer in the dryest September
just the same. 1t is a disease, but one
easily combatted. We have found
washing the tails in a strong solution
OF Boro-glyceride most effectual, but
any grease, especially If it has mixed
with it a little carbolic acid, will do the
work. The application should be made
once a day for at least three or four
days

FEEDING SWINE.

Serving It.
| I. What do you consider the best food
for an in-pig SOW?
In the summer, grass, lucerne (alfal-
fa), tares or clover, with a few beans
or peas, until she is within about q
sharps and bran should be substituted.
e. What is the best food for the boar?
In summer, lucerne, clover or tares,
and in the winter half of the year,
roots, with a few beans, peas or mixed
meal added, according to the amount OF
work required of him.
3. What do you consider the best food
for the SOW and litter?
Until the little pigs are three or four
weeks old, like to feed the sow on
about one-fourth bran and three.
fourths sharps, or randan; after that
time, if the pigs will stand it without
securing, some mixed wheat, barley
and pea meal may be added.
4. What food do you prefer on which
to wean the litter?
Continue the above and a little whole
wheat, with skim or separated milk.
s. What do you consider the best
food for pigs from ten to twenty weeks
old?.
A continuance Of the above, with a
gradual increase of the meal, until the
pigs are four months old, when the
food may consist of nearly all meal. In
the wiRter time a few cut roots or
steamed potatoes are good; and in the
summer lucernc or other green food
will be appreciated by and prove of
benefit to the pigs
6. What do you consider the best food
for fattening pigs?
Barley meal is the best single food,
but I prefer mixture of meals, COM
posed of barley, wheat, peas and a
small proportion of maize, cocoanut-
meal, palmnut meal, rice-meal and
even ground linseed.
2. Do you like. as pig-food, beans,
peas, wheat and barley and in what
order, and whether whole or ground?
prefer them ground and in the re-
verse order to that given. 1 do not re-
of ever holding the opposite
opinion, as given in the ssl}ook of the
Pig
8. What is your opinion on cooked
food?
My present opinion is exactly as it
was Is years since-that cooking meal
and roots Except potatoes) for pigs is
a waste of fuel and labor.
9. What is your opinion of mangels,
turnips and potatoes as pig foods?
I continue to use a large quantity Of
turnips and kohl rabe, but my
herd of pigs is SO large that I am un-
able to cook enough potatoes for them.
For small quantities of pigs, steamed
potatoes are both a good and profitable

Dress trimmings are greatly worn

trimmings are very strilking and bril-

as much as a conservative dresser can

are satin ribbons, plain and printed

every shade, and GALLONS from the
width of a single row of overlapping
spangles in plain or iridescent color

studded with single spangles. In spite
of all the color effects jet holds its own
in span9les and beads for galloons and
shaped pieces. OF the latter there are
many and the prettiest nearly cover

fringe effects. Fancy printed, brocad-
