THE HOG IN SUMMER.
If Kept Healthy and Thrifty the AMI
mails Are Sure to Lay On
Flesh Very Rapidly.

If the best growth of the hogs is Sc
cured during the summer it is essen
tial to maintain good health and keep
the hogs as comfortable as possible.
Plenty of good clover or grass with a
good variety Of ground grain or mid
dlings made into slop with milk is an
important item in maintaining thrift.
But in addition there must be good
shelter under which the hogs can lie
when their appetite is satisfied, pro-
tected from the hot sun and from rains.
If the best health is maintained it is
essential that the bedding for the hogs
be dry, and this cannot be assured, even
in summer, unless g dry shelter is pro-
vided.
The shelter In summer should, Of
course, be we'll ventilated. When on
pasture, rather more than when on dry
feed, hogs require plenty of salt, and
one of the best ways of supply is to
keep box under shelter in a convenient
place filled with salt and ashes; three
parts ashes-wood ashes are best-and
one part of salt, A little copperas
added will make it still better. Re-
plenish as often as may be necessary.
There is no danger in this way Of any
of them eating too much salt and
ashes, and this plan will give better
results than to give it at stated inter
walls.
Another item in maintaining good
health is to supply plenty of fresh wa
ter. No matter how much milk or good
slop is given, nothing will do so well in
satisfying thirst as pure fresh water
and the hogs should have all that they
will drink every day. If they do not
have access to running stream fresh
water should be given in the troughs.
Very little bedding is necessary, but
It should be changed occasionally.
With clover and slop made of
middlings and milk it is an exceptional
case when they will get too fat to thrive
well, as middlings and clover furnish
more of the elements that make muscle
and bone than fat. But with corn and
clover, if the hogs are given all that
they will cat every day, they may keep
too fat to thrive as they should. As for
growing pigs, especially during the
summer, there is no advantage IN keep
ing them very fat. Better health and
growth can be maintained if they are
kept in. a thrifty condition Ii thew are

cratic press is truly astonishing.


On Monday President Mckinley sent
special message to Congress in which he
pays a high tribute to four men in the
navy who have distinguished themselves
by deeds of daring. He recommends
votes of thanks by Congress, that Assist
ant Naval Constructor Hobson be trans
rerred to the line of the navy so that he
may be suitably promoted. He recon-
mends that Lieutenant Frank d. New
comb, U. S. revenue cutter service, be
given vote of thanks and gold medal
be presented to him for his signal act Of
heroism in rescuing at Cardenas the dis
abled Winslow, her wounded commander
and remaining crew; and thanks be ex-
tended and a silver medal presented to
each of his officers, and q bronze medal to
each of his crew who served with him at
Cardenas. The President recommends
that Captain Daniel B. Hodgson. who
commanded the revenue cutter Hugh Nc
Cllloch at Manila (being now in the G3rd
O. his age and having served continuously
on active duty for thirty-seven years. be
placed upon the permanent waiting or
ders on retired list of the revenue cutter
service on the full duty pay Of this service.
The President then dominates Naval
Cadet Joseph w. Powell "to be advanced
two numbers, under the provisions of Sec
ton 1906 of the revenue statutes, and to
be an ensign in the navy for extraordi-
nary heroism while in charge of the steam
launch which accompanied the collier
Merrimac for the purpose of rescuing
Naval Constructor Hobson and his gallant
crew." This action of the President will
be unanimously commended by the peo-
pie of the United States and Will serve as
stimulus to further heroism by our
sailors and soldiers.
