FOOD FOR TIT PIG.
Unless II Wcll-Chosen Variety Is Sc
Iected the Highest Success APP
PEARS Impossible.

Food is fuel, and fuel costs money.
Pigs that in mild temperature, under
certain feed, are doing well, will with
the same feeding cease to gain when
tile temperature of the pen drops below
zero. This shows the money value of
comfortable pens, and shows how I'M
wise it is to depend upon the non-con.
Quoting property of fat to keep cold out.
says Stock and Home.
How little thought is given to this
great subject. Want of discrimination
is u m evil, resulting in feeding
young, growing animals the same fat
tening rationNgiven to mature hogs that
are being prepared for market. Max
ing young pigs subsist on corn and
house slop, often mixed with milk,
with no roots, no pumpkins or squash;
no salt, no ashes, nothing to aid di-
gcstion and promote health is all
wrong and makes the highest success
impossible. Regularity in feeding is
also a matter Of greatimportance. The
good feeder always feeds at the same
hours of the day, and always before
dark at night, which is better than to
rouse the animals up after they have
gone to bed for the night. But what.
ever hours the feeding is done, in norm
ing, moo OF night, let them be the
same each day.

The pumpkins are cooked, mixed with
