Balanced Rations for Hogs.-There
is no room for doubt that a better
quality Of pork is made by feeding the
pigs a balanced ration during their
growing period. But this is not all
that is to be gained by following out Q
more rational policy in the feed lot.
BY proper methods Of feeding when
the pig is in the formative stages Of
his development the constitution is
strengthened rather than weakened.
We believe in q good bit Of shorts.
roots. milk and clover or lucerne for
the growing pig. A reasonable amount
of corn along with any or all these
things is good thing always too.
Feed the PIG plenty. give him q variety
of food when you can, observe rigid
regularity In all that you do for him,
give him clean and dry quarters, with
sunshine and room for exercise and
you are on the road to success with
him. Few men attempt to do this

Evidently ROM.

Can you tell me what to do for m,
chickens? They seem to be choked
up, their eyes swell and combs turn
dark. It is not on account of the cold,
as they have warm house. I feed
them red pepper and sulphur in meal
and give copperas in the water they
drink. Please answer through the
Farmers Review and oblige.-Mrs. R.
r. The birds are evidently
affected with roup, which, by the way,
is more general term than II COM
monty supposed. It is applied to all
such cases as the above where the
fowls have colds in the head and
swelled heads.
+ In recent number H. G. Hunt wrote
on roup, in which he said in part:
"For treating the birds now sick,
make q mixture, mostly lard with q
little carbolic acid and red pepper in
It. Grease their heads every day for
three or four days, that is, the sick
ones. Put a little Of this mixture in
the roof Of the mouth, by means of q
small OIL can that has q good spring
bottom that will throw 1t up into their
heads. Then keep little carbolic acid
in their drinking water. Let them all
run together. and all that can see to
eat and are able to do SO will be well
in week or two"
We are certainly Of the opinion that
the surroundings Of the birds are re-
sponsible for their condition. The
fact Of having warm pens proves
nothing. In fact If the pens are so
warm that sweating is induced and the
birds are allowed to go out freely into
the cold air, the chances are good that
roup will result.-Farmers' Review.
Straining Milk.-Straining should
begin before commencing to milk, by
brushing of all the dirt, hair, straw
etc., from the udder. teats and body
of the cow. Let it be the duty Of some
one person to go over all the COWS
with a soft brush or damp cloth be-
fore the cows are MIXED. An ordinary
wire sieve strainer does very well, but
we add to this by doubling cheese
cloth or thin cotton SO as to have it
four thicknesses. Lay the cloth across
the bottom of the strainer and then
fasten it on by means of a tin ring
which slips over the cloth and bottom
part of the strainer. For quickness we
use a strainer that pail of milk may
be put into at once. This sets in a
wooden frame over the can. Some use
a wooden cloth to strain with. Cloth
of some kind is necessary to catch
hairs and fine dirt. This cloth must be
kept clean. Scald it thoroughly each
time after using.-Ontario Experimen.

sunplementinr Ensi1age.


There are all kinds Of ensilage, vary
ing, Of course, with the material put
into the silo. There Is no magic in the
silo to add to the nutrition of what Is
put into it, though it may add to the
nutritive value by making it more d.
gestible. Much Of the ensilage from
corn fodder Is deficient in heterogeneous
forms Of nutrition. 1t needs to be sup
plemented, not necessarily with richer
ensilage, but preferably with dry food.
Instead Of trying to ensilage clover,
which is difficult because it heats so
rapidly, 1t is better to cure it and feed
three to five pounds of good clover
hay to all animals whose main ration
is corn ensilage. If clover cannot be
had, use wheat bran or oats. Both
linseed meal and cotton-seed meal may
be given with good results to animals
fed on corn ensilage. If possible some
straw or hay should be given with
these to increase their bulk and pre-
vent them from compacting in the
stomach. Corn is not good supple
ment to corn ensilage, as it also Is so
largely carbonaceous. But corn and
oats ground together and fed with cut
hay or stray make very good supple
mentary feed.

Where he went, OF whom he inquired
matters not. But one day when the
sun was setting in the west, he opened
little cottage gate to which he had
been directed, and saw at her knitting,
under vine-covered porch, his Betty,
not changed one single bit. And she?
She looked at him and did not know
him with his thin, sallow face and his
wooden leg.
What may you be wanting, sir?"
she asked.
And he said: Betty

Then he sat down on bench close

"And SO, Betty" said John, "if you'll

"and bygones are bygones, John Leaf"
"But you'll let things be as they

She laughed.

He looked. Through the gate came a
foreign-looking man, with gold rings
in his ears and silver ring upon his
finger, who led by the hand a toddling
child.
''Why, it's Monsieur" said John.
"You see," said Betty, II went to

Securing Early Lettuce.

The outdoor crop of spring lettuce
may be made several days earlier by
sowing the seed In some sheltered place
late in fall. 1t Is not likely that If sown
now any of the lettuce will come up
this fall. A few leaves scattered over
the bed will keep the seed from injury,
and it will sprout and grow with the
first warm weather in spring. Almost
every one has seen self-sown lettuce on
the beds where it was grown and went
to seed the previous year. 1t Is much
more forward than spring-sown lettuce
can be had in the same locality.

Plant Watering.

Watering is the most important oper-
alton in connection with plant growth.
Plants grown In rooms are benefited
by an immersion in water at the same
temperature as the room for about ten
minutes once a week. Water should
never be given before needed, neither
should plants be allowed to become
watered. Rain-water is the
best for ali purposes. The best time
for watering plants during summer is
the evening, but in winter morning
should be chosen for the work.

Exercise for Cows.

The cow which is bearing young Or
giving milk is not naturally frisky
animal. We never believed that she re-
quired much exercise. Most times
when we have turned them out while
cleaning their stables, instead Of run
ming about, the COW will be seen cud-
died close to the stack to shelter herself
from cold winds. 1t is still worse when
rain Is falling. The cow then needs
shelter rather than exercise, and can
keep warm standing still in her stable
better than she can while water Is be-
ing evaporated from her skin.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

Care Of Grain Drills.

The grain drill Is quite too expensive
to be allowed to remain out Of doors ex-
posed to the weather when not in use.
1t should be carefully cleaned from oil
dirt, and those especially with feril-
iZer attachment should be secured to
coated with grease to prevent the air
from getting to the metal. Most grain
drills rust out rather than wear out.
They are used, even where fall grain
Is sown, only few days in the spring
and fall, and ought to last lifetime
with few repairs, If they are properly
sheltered when not in use.
