The Rite OF Hoe.

There is great danger Of blood pois-
oning if hog bites the flesh. There
is no poison in the hogs teeth as there
is in the fangs of a poisonous snake.
1t is rather the poison which comes
from the saliva. as the hog is very
indiscriminate feeder and not at all
cleanly. When hog is made angry
the amount of its saliv'' is greatly in
creased, and the dn: ser is greater.
Even a slight confusion from hogs
tooth should be promptly washed out
with some antisep,ic. Dilute carbolic
acid, one part OF the acid to 1000 Of
water. is good and always a reliable
antiseptic. Some should always be
kept where 1t can be handily procured.
to put on cuts or outside injuries re-
ceived on any part of the body. 1t will
greatly hasten their healing.

When the light cannot be admitted

stall, as shown in the cut. IL two or
more stalls are side by side, put such q

FATTEN1NG HOGS.
Science Of Feeding Will They Pro.
duce the Best Pork.

No country on earth can produce
pork as cheaply us we can. No fault
can be found with the hams and shoG1-
ders from American hogs, and only the
absence Of lean streaks prevents our
bacon from taking first place. Under
present conditions we cannot afford to
produce baconsuch as comes from Den
mark and Ireland, because there is
more profit in producing weight with
corn. With all these advantages Of
cheap feed and favorable climatic con-
ditions, we can produce pork very
cheaply, but we should not be content
with this. We should try to produce
better pork than we do without adding
to the cost.
Very few farmers would say they do
not 1how all about raising hogs, but
the truth is, very few really do know
the best way to feed for the best re-
suits in quality. gain in weight and
healthfulness.
Most farmers are inclined to think
the best way to feed lot of hogs is to
put them in a lot and keep corn by them
all the time. Corn and corn alone is
enough for hog, they think, and to
feed this in unlimited quantities re-
quires neither judgment nor sense.
The average farmer does not read, nor
does he bother himself much with
thinking. The man who is above the
average reads and thinks, and he knows
there is much to learn in even so SIM
pie an operation as raising hog. He
knows that corn alone does not fur
nish all the elements that 60 to make
perfect pork. The thinking farmer pro-
vides pasture of clover or blue grass
for his pigs, and gets them up to 100
pounds or above with grass, wheat
bran, skim milk and such heterogeneous
feeds as to make lean meat and bone.
Then he feeds corn and oats or bran.
and toward the last feeds all the corn
the animals will eat, with good appe-
tite, and goes into the market with a
finished product that he may be proud
of, which has not cost him any more
than full corn-fed hog would have
cost. When all farmers follow this
course, then will American pork have
come into its own and the price will
rise to its true value.-Farmers' Voice.

methods, but it does it much more thor

HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY.
'TAs 0raanary Farmer CA Make Ne
Money Out - Feeding Cattle
far Hls NeigAbors.

A correspondent asks US to advise
him what compensation a farmer
should have for fattening cattle belong
ing to another man. says the Home
stead. He wishes to know what would
be just and fair to both feeder and
owner, the feeder furnishing every
thing in connection with the fatten-
ing of the cattle. The question 10 one
that we could not answer with any rea-
sonable hope of furnishing q basis for
such a contract as would be equitable
to both feeder and owner. without See
ing the cattle, and even then it would
depend upon how good guess we were
able to make about what the cattle
would probably do in view Of their
condition when they go on feed, their
breeding, the length Of time they were
to be fed, the price of feed. and the
other conditions surrounding the un-
dertaking. If there is any one prop
osition in regard to cattle feeding that
has been more completely established
during the past couple of years than
another, it is that there are cattle and
cattle, and that Wholesome will respond
to feed promptly and continuously and
make regular and steady gains in q
satisfactory way, there is a large per-
centage of the cattle going into the
feed lots that will do nothing Of the
kind. The usual basis on which such
contracts are made consists of the pay
ment of SO much per pound for the gain
that is put on. The cattle are weighed
in to the feeder and weighed back
when delivered back to the owner.
What q given lot of cattle will do in q
given period, however. is matter that
no one can positively tell in advance,
and even the expert feeder who has
handled cattle all his life can only
form an opinion that will be of any
value, in any given case, after a care
full examination of the lot Of cattle it
is proposed to feed. Speaking general
~ of contracts of this kind, however,
it may be said that they are particular
" hard on the feeder as rule. The
owner puts in his cattle at given
weights, and they may be either good.
bad or Indifferent; they may be Of a
kind that will respond readily to feed,
and gain anywhere from two to three
pounds per day, or they may be Of a
kind that will make only pound a
day gain. or less. The cost of making
the gain may be as low as four dollars
hundred, or it may be twice as much
or even more. All these risks the feeder
takes, and when the owner receives his
cattle back he pays for just what the
feeder has accomplished. In other
words, the man who feeds another's
cattle takes all the risks of the trans
action without receiving as compensa-
ton any of the occasional speculative
gains that cattle feeders now and then
make. by reason of striking good mar
ket. 1t is not contract that we would
advise anyone to make unless he is so
poor and SO destitute of credit as to be
unable to raise money to buy cattle and
thus entitle himself to all the possible
gains in the transaction. as well as to
take its risks of loss.
