Raising Hogs For Bacon.

\ most decided change in the mat
ter of taste has developed among the
consumers OF bacon. The demand now
is almost entirely for lean meat, not a
single strip Of lean. but full one-half.
To raise hogs which will supply this
demand, pen feeding must be done
away with almost entirely. The con-
fnement in close quarters induces fat
tLat even the most careful feeding can
not overcome proftably. Unlimited
pasture feeding is necessary, and if
the right breed of hogs is kept bacon
can be raised and sold at profit. 1t
has been found that the rather lazy
Berkshire, Poland-Chlna and Jersey
breeds cannot be proftably turned
into lean bacon, SO that breeds that
are inclined to roam, like the crossed
Yorkshires or the Tamworth. are the
best for the purpose. The Tamw orth
is but little known in this country, and
breeders do not take kindly TO the
plan of giving up the well-known
breeds for this stranger.
Attempts are now being made with
promise of good results, to educate
the razor-back of the South to feed
for bacon. II must be confessed
that this animal has many Of the
characteristics of good bacon hog,
and if the disposition to eat any
thing from an old boot to ground
hog can be bred out OF her, she may
vet astonish the advocates OF fancy
breeds. Four one-acre fields well
fenced will supply ample pasture for
fifty hogs with the addition of some
-oots or corn rs a sur plementerv feed.

Farm and Garden Notes.


Provide shade for the sheep while
at pasture.
Sheep should not be turned to pas
ture too early.
Gates between the fields are much
better than bars. Try one and prove this
statement.
Keep the houses dry and clean and
you will prevent half the sickness
among your fowls. s
A brood SOW on pasture from now
till fall will not need much grain to
raise,a fine litter of pigs.
Eggs a month old will hatch if kept
in an even temperature and turned
half over every day or two.
A little lard rubbed under the
wings and on top of mother hens
head will free the chicks of lice.
Corn is not an egg food;it should
not be fed exclusively, only in very
cold weather, and then as night
feed.
Clean out the nests and burn the
old nest material and kerosene them
inside before putting in the clean
straw or hay.
A few sheep we'll cared for will pay
q nice profit on their keep, while
large flock neglected. will make the
owner out of pocket.
One of the most successful poultry
men of America grinds two bushels Of
oats with one of corn, and with 200
pounds of this mixes 100 pounds of
bran for the months mash.
1t does not pay to breed from
fowls which have been affected with
roup or other diseases which sap ths
vitality from their systems. The
Young stock from such matings are
almost certain to show some trace Of
the disease.
If you pen your pigs keep the pens
clean and let the pigs have variety
of food with green stuff large part
of it. Cut rye as soon as ready, then
oats or clover. which ever you have
come on first, then. cow peas, or green,
corn, and thus bring them to fall with
but little expense for grain. Finish
off with corn and you will have good
sweet pork at moderate cost.

few minutes the negro was arrested and
placed in the guard house. Some one
suggested that he be taken out and
lynched, No sooner said than a crowd
assero bled for the purpose of making

cool headed men. learning what was
about to take place, spirited the negro
away. He was brought across the river

To EeAtruY Weeds.

The easiest and best way to destroy
all kinds of weeds is when they are
just beginning to appear above the
ground. II weeds are permitted to
grow, however, they make excellent
green material for plowing under, but
while they may nearly reach maturity
before being thus utilized, under no
circumstances must they be permitted
to produce seed. If no weeds are al
lowed to scatter seeds it will be but a
few years before the farm is entirely
clear of them. twill pay the farmer,
however, to keep weeds down by STIR
ing the top soil when the weeds are
young.
