FEEDING PIGS.

I used to grind corn and other
grains for the pigs, but years OF ex-
perience have taught me that the most !
I got out of it was hard work, writes
John NJ. Jamison in the Country Gen. |
tleman.
The trouble with the farmer in this
matter lies in the TACT that he gets an
idea into his head and works in that
line without any data to show whether
he is correct or not; his experiments
are one.sided and in the direction of
his prejudices. If he thinks ground
feed is the thing, he feeds it; but he!
does not feed another lot on whole
grain by way Of comparison, that he
may know which is best. Careful ex-
pcriments have been made in this di.
rection by men who work only to
know the facts in the case. So far the
summed.up evidence is against grind.
ing corn for pigs.
Pig feeders who feed meal lose sight
Of one very important fact. When
pig eats meal, whether wet or dry, he
does it hastily. If wet the moisture
connected with it cannot take the
place of saliva as o digestive agent. It
dry it is eaten too quickly for the meal
to become thoroughly saturated with
the saliva. When a pig is fed whole
corn in the proper manner his mouth
is filled with saliva in anticipation of
the enjoyable morsel when he comes
to it, and as he erinds the corn you
can notice the saliva escaping from his
mouth. All the corn that he grinds
is thoroughly dampened with saliva
before it is swallowed. When meal is
fed, whether as slop or dry, ii is al
most impossible to prevent some waste.
When corn is led whole al; can be
saved, for q properly fed pig will
gather the last grain. But If meal is
worked out of the trough it is in the
main lost, or if slop is thrown out it
is also lost:
Ii pig does not get out Of whole
corn all there is in it, it is because Of
some mistake on the part Of the feeder,
and is not the fault Of the grain. It
is folly to expect pig to 30 we'll on
corn alone in dead of winter or heat
Of summer; but if he has some other
food with it Of less carbonaceous
nature he will get more from the corr
and thrive better. The food proper
ties OF corn are not changed by grind
/ ing; it is still corn, whether it il
served as meal, mush or slop.
The only animal OF the hog kline
that I should think of grinding corl
for would be aged sows that have worl
q out their teeth by years of grail
y grinding, and / doubt if they woul'
pay the miller and labor bill. Il
, these hard times it is we'll for the pi
! feeder to give these things som
). thought. Ii the pig will not pay 10

Percy F. Marks, one Of the pro.
prietors of the London Financial
News, one of the recognized authori.
ties on financial matters, arrived in
San Francisco last week on the Mono
wal. The paper was founded in 1855,
and is owned by himself and his
brother, Harry a. Marks, a member
OF Parliament. This brother, previous
to embarking in this London enter
prise, obtained his journalistic ex'
perience on American papers.
Mr.. Marks has been in Australia
making careful study of the gold
fields in West Australia, New South
Wales and New Zealand. AS these
mines develop, which they ore now
dong very rapidly, he predicts q very
remarkable increase in the supply OF
gold, amounting, in fact, to glut Of
the yellow metal in the market. The
mines of West Australia are particu.
larly rich and extensive, but hove the
disadvantage of being in a country
scantily supplied with wood. water
and means of transportation. But
these disadvantages are being rapidly
overcome. The Government IS ex'
tending the railroad which runs from
Perth to Coolgardie on to Kalgoorlie,
better known as Hoanuus, twenty-five
miles, On extraordinarily rich mining
region. The Government has also
asked Parliament for $5,000,000 fol
the purpose of laying 800 miles o.
water pipe. In many places drinking
water sells for fifty cents gallon
From here Mr.. Marks goes to Cripple
Creek to investigate the mining pros
poets there. His paper, he says, ha'

EFFECT OF RAGWEED ON BUTTER.

Ragweed is intensely bitter, and
this bitterness is due to IN oil in the
leaf cells that may be seen like little
shining drops by examination under
microscope. This oil is what effects
the butter when COWS eat this weed,
for the oils of the food most certainly
find their way into the cows butter.
This flavor OF butter of COWS fed on
hay, in which this weed is mixed, or
which eat it in the pastures. is one of

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

It comes very near to cruelty to an
imais, or hens, rather, to hatch chicks
in August.
If there are any runts and low grade
chicks in your flock you'd better kill
them off and rot TOOL away good feed
on them.
The ram should be changed every
two years. At every change better
one should be produced. Il is half
the flock.
Because tie sheep is the champion
fnrm scavenger. is no reason why he
should have no better fare than weeds
and browse.
The best lambs should be selected
at once for the future Aocks. By
keeping only the best, the flock is al
ways improving.
Sow some turnip seed in the potato
patch. They will be excellent to chop
up for the hens next winter when
when green stuff is scarce.
! When eggs are packed for long
time in pine cases, they frequently
take on pine favor, by absorption
through the shell. Whitewood cases
are far better.
It is an excellent idea to save all your
lawn clippings and cure them to feed
the fowls next winter when you can't
get much green stuff. They will en-
joy it and it will help make them

ROOT CROPS ARE EXHAUSTIVE,

It has never been good practice TO
grow Two root crops in succession on
the same land. 1t con only be done
by very heavy manuring to supply
the fertility that the preceding crop
has taken away. Gardeners who
grow roots generally manage to grow
them in alienation with crops that do
not draw SO heavily on the land. The
onion crop can be grown on the same
land in succession, but the onion is
not properly a root.
