BURYING STONES.

The only way to get rid of loose stones
on farms where they are numerous is
to bury them. Years ago it was
common practice to pile the stones III
great heaps, usually if inside the field,
around some big tree, which the stones
would kill after few years, or beside
the fence in the corners of the heids'
Almost always after a few years the
stones will be found i'll the way where
they have been placed and have to De
moved again. Burying the stones dis
poses of them permanently. In many
places where the land needs under
draining making the stones into under
ground conduits is the best disposal
that can be made of them. A well-laid
stone drain will never fail to carry
water if its outlet is kept open.

FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE PIt

FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE PIG.
During the first few days the pigs
should be confined to the narrowing
pen. or at most, allowed to run in a
small, dry lot. They will do better to
be confined to the lot until they are
Mt least three weeks old. Just as soon
as the pigs show a disposition to eat
they should be encouraged in so do
ing. A small place should be cut OH
from the lot, SO as to allow the pigs,
but not the mother, to enter, and IN
This little lot should be a shallow feed
trough. If the pigs are getting plenty
of milk from their mother, as they
will, provided she is good brood sow,
there is nothing better for them than
soaked grain. Dry, hard corn Will
soon make their teeth sore. An abun-
dance of this soaked grain should be
provided, but what is left should be
removed at least twice day and fresh
grain put in. If little sweet skim
milk can be given it will add to the
growth of the pigs. This may be con
tinued until weaving time, when de
cidcd change in the feed becomes nee
essary. This is the most critical periof
of the pigs life, and on his manage
ment at this time largely depends his
future usefulness. If checked in hi:
growth, he will probably not recove
soon enough to give the best results
whether kept to grace the breedin;
herd or to fill the pork barrel.-Missis
