Rest Way of MeanIng Pigs.

Our experience is against weaving
pigs other than to let nature take its
course. 1t is almost impossible to pre-
vent them from receiving check il
weaned at seven or eight weeks old, Us
some advise. You will not only check the
growth of the pig, but it seems great
injury would result To the SOW. No one
would take calf from its mother, re-
frain from milking her, and then eX-
pect the COW to escape without injury,
and surely SOW must be something like
a COW. Teach the pigs to eat at as early
an age as possible, gradually increase
the feed until about two months of
age, giving as much butter, or skim
milk, as they will take along with what
grain they get, and weaving will not
be hurtful TO either the pig or dam.
More loss of growth is incurred right
here than at any period of the pigs
life. If you must wean them at an
early age, don't do it suddenly.--South-
ern Swineherd.

the fork. An iron pin passes through
the prong aud pole, so as to allow the
pole the sweep motion. The pole should
be placed in fork so as to just balance,
which will give the end for hosting the
hay little more length than the other.
Total length of the pole should be 3j to
40 feet. The rope shown at +, for hold
ing the hay fork. should be about ten
feet long, and may be secured at any
convenient point along the pole within
say ten feet from the end.
At the other and larger end of sweep
(G) is placed pulley, through which
passes rope, one end of which is fas-
tened around the upright at II. The
other end passes through pulley Sc
cured TO a frame at bot tom, and to this
end is fastened the singletree at X. The
pulley in cut is shown at center of frame,
but in actual use It may be shifted so as
10 be at either end or part way toward
same, as we'll as midway the two ends.
When the pulley is in the center the
sweep pole moves upward in direct line,
as the horse pulls; if at either side, the
sweep, as it is raised, swings around,
thus carrying the hay 10 any part of The
ricl; desired. The trip rope mot shown
in cut) attached to the harpoon fork
should be long enough to reach from
wagon TO the most distant part of rick,
and is used by the man on wagon 30

hay is tripped.
Twenty, thirty or forty tons of hay
may be put into one rick. built as much
as 25 feet high, by means of this device.
OF course, the frame at bottom must be
securely stobbed down. \ prong or
projection on stob to catch over the sills
is handy, as it can he drawn out with a

Dumping Car for the Barn.

One of the greatest contrivances
have yet seen for cleaning out a barn
IS found in the barn of neighbor who
does not believe in piling manure up
against the side of the building, as is
so often observed on some farms. He
has track similar 10 the one on which
the hay carrier runs, and it extends the
entire length Of the barn in the rear OF
the stalls and some distance outside of
the building. A dumping car is swung
on this track which will hold almost a
wagon load of manure. 1t is wheeled
along behind the stalls where needed
and when filed is pushed out on the
track TO the manure pen and dumped.
This contrivance las not cost a great
deal, and it is a very great conven-
ience.-Rural World.

AIR AND EXERCISE.
They Materially Affect the Meat of
sheep, Cattle and Poultry.

1hey materially Affect the Meat OF
sheep, Cattle and Poultry.
The meat of certain animals-sheep,
cattle and poultry-is preferred 70,
commands n higher price and is in
greater demand in the English market
than the meat of other animals. For,
the mutton of Welsh mountain sheep,
and of the Southdowns and Cheviots,
all subsisting on short and scant feed,
regularly brings from two to three
cents per pound more than much larger
and fatter mutton; the practical reason
Icing the greater value of the mutton,
because the sheep supplying it are
more active, performing their oXcre-
tory breathing functions more fully
and so producing pure. healthier and
letter favored quality of meat. The
same is true of the kvloc and other
active cattle of Scotland, ard the De-
yon and other active cattle Of England.
their flesh is better favored from their
better quality of blood. which results
from greater activity. so that the juicy,
sweet meat of active cattle generally
sells at from two to four cents per
pound higher in price than that of in
active cattle. In poultry the same
distinction holds; the active, lively
breeds, usually smallish in size, supply
the healthiest AMI best quality Of
poultry meat. The same is true Of wild
fowl and deer, the bcs' quality of meat
being obtained from those varieties or
breeds that are regularly the most ac-
tive in getting subsistence, whether on
the wing, or, like ducks ana geese, in
the water, or on fcot.-Farmer's Voice.
