WEAVING THE PIGS.
How 1t Can lie Done without stunt
ing the Little Creatures.

How 1t Can he Done without stunt
ing the Little Creatures.
I never saw my way of weaving pigs
described in print. l have told several
about it and they did not believe it
would work, but after trying it, pro-
nounce it grand success. In the first
place, get my pigs (by little care and
patience) to eating warm slop when 20
or 25 days old. By the time they are
As days old they are as eager for the slop
as the old hogs. In the meantime l
build pen with small hole just large
enough for the pigs to enter and re-
ceiye their tri-daily rations. AS the pigs
grow / gradually increase their ration
of slop; also decrease the sow's ration of
STOP and increase her grain ration. BY
the time the pigs are As days old they
think more of me than they do of their
mother. They will leave the dam while
sucking and come at my call.
In the second place l confine them
in the pen, catch them one at time,
ard put small ring in each little nose.
That finishes my part of the weaving
process. They will be able to get lit
tie milk from the dam for few days,
but they cannot get it all. Last fall
both of my sows weaned their pigs be-
fore they were seven weeks old, with
out the application of the rings.-F. o.

HEALTH ITEMS.

Blue grapes are feeding and blood
purifying; too rich for those who suffer
from the liver.
Never take bath when chilled or
cold. Never battle when overtired.
Rest first, then battle, and follow the
bath with light nourishment. Never
battle more than an hour before eat
ing nor two hours after eating.
A teaspoonful of pure glycerine three
or four times a day is good for sore
throat. Ten drops of creolin in a glass
of cold water and used as gargle sew
eral times daily is an excellent medicine
to prevent as we'll as, cure sore throat.
To prevent chapped hands add lit
tie borax to the wash water. To re-
move fruit stains use weak solution
of oxalic acid. Written the hands with
two ounces of cologne, two ounces of
lemon juice, six ounces of powdered
Windsor soap mixed together. Lemon
juice and salt are good for stained
hands.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Bounce the lazy hired man.
Everybody be kind to everybody else.
Feed plenty of carrots to all stock if
you have the carrots.
Bounce the hired man who is not will
ing to feed the stock on Sunday.
Push every acre for all it is worth.
That is one way to discount low prices
Kill the mems that lay no eggs. That
is, have nothing on the farm that does
not pay.
Economic labor on the farm. Lots
OF money goes to waste by the hired
man loafing in the shade in summer.
Keep an account with each field on
the farm, charging it and crediting it.
1t will be the best thing you ever did.
Use very little corn in summer for
laying hens. Green food may be fed
at any time during the day. One great
fault is over-feeding, letting the hens
gorge themselves.
To get rid of small ants find the nest,
make hole through the center with a
bar or stick and pour in about half an
ounce of bisulphide of carbon. Then
close up the hole tight.
You can cut off the combs of fowls if
you prefer. Use a sharp knife; cut off
both combs and wattles. To prevent
bleeding, first wash the head with
strong alum water and then sprinkle
with powdered armonia.-Western

CARE OF POULTRY.
How to Obtain Satisfactory Results
from the Hens.

from the Hens.
TO keep up the vitality of flock
necessary for Il steady supply of eggs
all old ROSTERS must be disposed of
every second year at least. Procure a
new lot from unrelated stock. This is
one of the essentials. When spring
comes and hens grow broody, remove
each one to a small house prepared for
Matching. Never leave sitting hens
among the layers. Around the floor of
the Matching shed arrange boxes half
filled with earth and straw, in which
are two or more china eggs. Cover the
hens for night, or until well settled
again, then exchange the false for fresh
eggs. Keep supply of shelled corn
continually in this sitting house that
hens may feed at their pleasure and get
back to eggs before they are chilled.
The result is much more satisfactory.
Also have plenty of fresh water and
oyster shells.
Strong chickens will usually begin to
hatch on the Goth day, though some will!
be day or two later. Remove when dry
and keep covered in basket in the
house. If left in the nest the hen be-
comes restless and is likely to crush
them. When all are Matched put the
hen with her brood of fluffy beauties
out in coop, on grass if possible, but
at least separated by a six-foot poultry
netting from the other yard. In week
let them run at large in their own div
sion. Never feed raw corn meal Stops.
1t is deadly. If corn meal must be used
bake it first into a crumbly johnny
cake. The best feed is cracked grain,
fed dry, cracked oats, cracked corn,
cracked wheat. After the first week
whole wheat may be fed, to which, when
four weeks old, add whole corn, shelled.
See that they have fresh water, oyster
shell and coarse gravel or grit of some
kind.-Troy (N. W Times.

The Rest Feed for Ducks.

Ducks are omnivorous animals, eating
almost everything in the line of vege-
tables and animals that comes in their
way. For the first food for young
ducks nothing is better than the yolks
of hard boiled eggs or boiled liver
chopped very fine. The food ought to
be cooked for the rirst week and after
that il may be changed to coarse, scald-
ed Indian meal, wheat, grits or rice.
Bread crumbs and sour milk are excel
lent food. as ar- also angle worms and
snails. AS they grow, they should also
have variety Of vegetable food. such as
lettuce, onions, cabbage, etc. They
have to be fed at frequent intervals.

a bc reu LhDerauys -
With all stock that is to be Kept
through the winter it will be found eas.
Ter as well as more economical to Keep
an animal thrifty than to allow it to
run down IN condition and then attempt
to feed it up. This is especially ithe'
case at this season, when dry feed must
be largely depended upon.
OF course the cost must always be
considered, as it is an item to feed and
keep in good thrifty condition at as
low cost as possible. At the same
time it should be Remembered that it is
never good economy to stint the feed at
the expense of growth.
With young and growing stock, and>
In fact, with all that are to be kept
through the winter it will be found a,
good plan to allow them to run out
every day that the weather will permit,
but at the same time too much depend
ence should not be placed upon the
amount of feed that they will secure in
the pastures.
Generally it will be found good plan
to gradually increase the ration night
and morning at this time, the amount
to be largely determined by the condi-
ton of the animals. If good shelter is
provided and they have been kept up in
good thrifty condition, less grain: is
needed than when the stock are eX-
posed to cold or storms, or have been al
lowed to run down in condition. OF
course roughness is usually cheaper
than grain and one of the advantages
in providing a comfortable shelter is
that it lessons the grain, rations, and if
care is taken to make the shelter dry
and comfortable very light grain ra-
ton night and morning will keep in a
good condition. But care must be taken
now to keep a watch on the stock, other
wise they may begin to fail, and this int
plies more or less of loss, and under
present conditions if farming is to be
made profitable every item must be
considered with growing stock, their
condition must be suck that steady
gain can be maintained until sufficient
ly matured to pick for market.-Farm-
