Variety of Food for PIGS.

In most of the discussions about
what kinds of food are best, the fact
is overlooked that no food except, per-
haps, wheat, gives all nutritive ele-
ments in their proper combina ton for
best results. A variety of foods need
ed, not merely to tempt appetite, but
to keep the animals in the best health.
This is especially important to animals
that are being fattened. It is scarcely
less so to animals that are growing
and which need in some form the ele-
ments that make bone and muscle
rather than fat. The farmer should
understand this and give a Variety

Advantages of Inspection.

The rigid inspection Of the milk
brought into this city, by the state in
spector, forced the milkmen to test
their cows, get better cows, take bet
ter care of their cows, stables and
utensils. It has led them to study
and consideration of the question Of
individual merit in their cows, and to-
day the milkmen are making more
money per cow then they ever did.

CANNING BEANS.
The Best Time for This Work II DC.
tOber-SOme Points of the
Process.

They require greater heat to ster-
ilize them than boiling water, and are
cooked by expert Gamers with super
heated steam. Corn sometimes keeps
we'll when canned with tomatoes.
The best time to can string beans
is in October. When they are put up
before this time they must be pro-
tected against the heat of summer
and early fall, and there is greater
danger of their not keeping. Select
the small beans. The refugee" beans
are considered excellent for this pur-
pose. String 'hem and throw them
into boiling water. Drain them and
fill cans which have been rolled in
boiling water with the whole bean.
Cover the beans to the top of the can
with boiling water in which tea
spoonful of salt has been dissolved to
every pint. Close the cans without the
them in hot water on a wooden rack
in large boiler with straw or cloths
packed between the cans to prevent
their knocking together. Let them
cookin this way with the water around
them for half an hour. Then close the
vents or put on the rubbers and screw
the cans tightly. Let the water boil
around them three-quarters of an
hour longer. Remove from the fire,
and when they are cold tighten them
again and set them away in dark,
cool place where the temperature does
not rise above 70 degrees. Butter
beans are put up in the same way as
string beans. One of the best ways
to keep string beans is in strong
brine in the same way cucumbers are
put up for pickles. They must then
be freshened, however, for use.-N. Y.
