Care of the Pigs From Mating the
Sow TIL Sold.

The proper care of the pigs should be-
gin prior to mating the dam. If the SOW
is not in proper condition when she is
bred, we can't expect best results with
her produce, says Colman's Rural World
During the summer and fall seasons she
should have plenty of range and access
to succulent feeds. Besides this she
should be fed a fair ration of some rather
light and bulky feed, such as oats and
mill feeds, with little corn and plenty
of pure water A few weeks before breed
ing the feed should DE slightly increased,
so the SOW will be in strong, robust con-
dition at time of mating. After sow is
bred, continue the care as before. With
aged sows l am a great believer in bulky
feeds such as bran and shorts, with lit
tie oil meal added. This dourse of feeding
answers very well for younger sows also.
DO not allow 900 many sows to sleep
together; the fewer the better. With only
a few, and very valuable sOws in herd,
a lot and house for each sow is best,
When sows are thus cared for, there is
seldom any difficulty attending farrow-
ing, and pigs are born strong and active,
looking like they were several days old,
sometimes For two or three days after
farrowed the sow should be fed hardly
anything except warm water, slightly
sailed, after which gradually resume the
same course of care as before narrowing
until the pigs are large enough 10 stand
an increased supply of milk from their
dam, when her feed should be increased
accordingly until she gets all she will eat
up clean.
1 know breeders who are afraid to give
their sows slop made from mill feeds and
Other light and laxative feeds lest the pigs
get the scourS. l think this is a mistake,
he MOS will SCOIIr from too rfah fapd
as well as from the opposite. Feed a we'll
balanced ration, and nearly as posi-
BILE the same after as before farrow. I
shall not touch upon the various ailments
that LITTLE pigs are liable to; will only
say they can be largely prevented by
proper and judicious care and handling of
dam.
When pigs are about four weeks old,
they will begin to look for additional feed.
which should then be provided for them
I'm shallow troughs, placed where they can
enjoy their feed unmOlestsd by the SOW.
Skim milk shorts, oats and corn are all
suitable for piggy from now on When
pigs are abouS three months old they
should be weaned, which they will prac-
tically do themselves if properly cared
for They should from now on be fed
about all they will eat up clean of the
feeds indicated above In connection with
grain and skim milk, pigs should have
plenty of range and good pasture when
ever practicable.
Pigs cared for and reared as outlined
above, develop into strong, healthy and
vigorous fellows, which give universal
satisfaction TO buyer. Pigs so handed are
almost invariably sure and prolific breed

Starke, Bradford County, Telegraph:
The heaviest rains to visit this section in
years came down Wednesday afternoon
and night. Heavy showers fell during
the afternoon, and from o clock until af-
ter Y the downpour was almost continu-
Gus. The entire town was submerged and
in the lower paris the water was etill
standing Thursday morning, making mat
ters uncomfortable for pedestrians. Ali
gator creek was swollen by the flood be-
yond all previous high-water marks, and
lacked only eight feet of covering the rail
way trestle. The water could be plainly
seen from the station. 1t is feared that
the rains have damaged the strawberry
crop to some extent and the Irish potato
crop is almost certain to be diminished.
Reports are numerous about the drown
ing of young chickens, and many young
pigs are also believed to have persisted.

Lime for Peanuts.

1t is not necessary that the soil on which
peanuts are TO be grown should be natur-
ally calcereous, but If ii is not it must be
lined, the lime being necessary both. for
the proper fruiting of the plant and for its
mechanical effect upon the soil, says Far
mers' Bulletin of Agriculture. Much of the
Virginia and North Carolina land has in
times past been heavily married, and there
are parts of Tennessee and other states
where there is already sufficient lime in
the soil for the peanut plant.
Besides this addition of lime on soils
where it is not naturally found peanuts
need dressing of potash and phcsphoric
acid. The potash is best supplied in the
form of kainit. the phosphoric acid by fine
ground phosphate Stag. If the soil is
heavy, instead of the Stag a dressing of
superphosphate may be used.
The lime and other dressing would be
more effective if plowed under early in the
season. but they may be spread down the
furrow in which the seed is planted or APP
piled as a top-dressing after planting Any
kind of lime may be used, provided it is
finely comminuted by burning before ap-
plication. Thoroughly burnt oyster shells,
which are very accessible TO farmers living
along the eastern seaboard, common
limestone or mari will answer the pur-
pose of the planter.
The quantity of lime or mari to use at
one application depends very much on the
nature of the soil and the amount of vege-
table matter it contains. Generally thir-
ty bushels of lime or from 100 to $50
bushels of mari are safe applications, but
If the soil is quite thin and contains but
little vegetable mold, more than this at
one time would be attended with risk. A
safer plan is to make several small an
nual applications of lime and also of veg
etable matter manure, compost, woods
earth, etc). continuing this until a suffi-
cient amount of lime has been applied,
Land will bear large quantities of mari
with perfect safety if kept well stocked
with some vegetable matter 10 subdue
its caustic effects. But most of the best
peanut soil is deficient in humus, and the
planter should begin cautiously, using
small quantities of lime until he has sup
piled the other deficiency.
