TYING THE FLEECE.
Absolutely Necessary to Hold
1t I'm Form.

The best and simplest method of
tying wool, says Wool Markets and
Sheep, is done by placing the fleece
on table with the flesh side down,
and with the hands, work the wool in
as compact form as possible, then
fold in the two sides, then the tail end.
then the neck wool. Beginning at the
tail end of the fleece roll toward the
neck, and the fleece will somewhat re-
semble a spool of thread in shape.
About five or six feet of wool twine,
owing to the size of the fleece. should
have been previously prepared by
doubling it and laying it on one end of
the table. Lay the fleece down on the
string, with the two strings about
six inches apart, and then pull the
string around the circular way of the
fleece. Part the strings. running one
one way and the other in the opposite
direction, having the strings cross
each other at the other end of the
fleece, turning the fleece onerfourth
round and running a string around it
endwise at right angles to the last
one. BY this method as neatsappear-.
ing fleece will besecured az can be tied.
by any wool box. Wool will be re-
garded with suspicion by buyers and
commission men if tied up in too COM

string around the fleece than is
actually necessary to hold it in form.

FROM PIG TO PORK,


The Southern Agriculturist says the
farmer that "gets there" is the man
who uses brains to help him. He must
read progressive papers. and apply
theory to practice. This will give him
many NEAR cuts" over his fields and
among his live stock that he had never
thought of. AS rule, the average
farmer believes that corn is the only
necessary for hog, but that's a great
mistake. To-day no farmer can OBJ
tain good results in fattening hogs
exclusively on corn. He must first
try to get the pig strong bones, mus
cles and digestive organs. The best
food for that purpose is milk mixed
with some wheat shorts.
For the best results after pigs
weigh so pounds is. one pound of corn
meal to three pounds of sour milk.
If the farmer has not the milk, the
next best feed is something that will
produce the most milk in the animal
that is, bran. But bran is very poor
on fats. He has to add the necessary
fat, and, he can obtain that with lin
seed or corn. To one bushel of bran
mix four pounds of meal, or to one
bushel of corn meal add three bushels
of bran. With such feed and thrifty
pigs he will get them ready for market
at the age of eight months, weighing
about $50 pounds each.
At that age is the best time to sell,
but the best gifts should be saved for
brood sows. If he raises animals with
strong bone, muscle and good digest
i've organs, why should they not make
successful brood sows? After they
are tried and found to be fertile moth
ers, and when two years old, he may
try to raise two litters from each per
year. The best feed, the best care,
and in cold weather the cleanest and
warmest stalls for their comfort. The
natural food for every warm-blooded
animal like pig or calf is its moth
er's milk. For that reason every breed
er of hogs should feed during preg-
nancy of brood SOW and sucking time,
such feed as that which produces
plenty of rich, healthful milk. There
is nothing better than cows milk
mixed with corn meal for pigs after
they are one or two months old.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

If the hog house is cheap rattle
clap of thing and is smelling badly,
destroy it.
For warts on horses, clip off the wart
and touch the place, just touch it, with
nitric acid.
Feeding pea meal and roots is in line
of protection from stomach, lung and.
liver diseases.
It is Improbable to breed from ami
mails that are too old or from those
that are not of good form.
It is not desirable to keep horse that
has too much mettle, which mean: that
the animals nerves are too high strung.
If the COW has chance in summer
she will stand in the shade and in wa
ter and quietly chew her cud. 1t will
do her good.
The mule breeding business will con-
tinue to be profitable for many along
day, croakers to the contrary not
withstanding.
It is advisable to have some one else
put the ring in the bulls nose, for the
animal often remembers the outrage
for long time.

only keep the flies off of COWS, but will
