WEAVING THE PIGS.
Expert Experience on Subject
which Is of Utmost Interest
to Every Farmer.

Lam aware that there is a great diff
ference of opinion in regard TO age
that young pigs should be allowed TO
remain with their dam. | have no
fixed rule, as | am guided largely by
the way in which the young pigs are
thriving. l have frequently noticed
that the milk from the dam does not
agree with the young pigs, causing
excessive diarrhoea, and in this case
we wean the pigs at six weeks, but as
n general rule have found better re-
suits by allowing the pigs to remain
with the dam until eight weeks old
A great many young pigs are injured
by feeding the sow too literally upon
strong rich food, and not having
much exercise in the open air. l would
strongly recommend moderate exer-
else, with plenty of fresh air, which
is quite as essential as pure food.
After the young pigs are 10 days old
the sow should be literally fed upon
bran and underground cats, with the
addition of small quantity of ground
peas or corn, but great care should
be taken that the sow should not re-
ceive much gram for about 10 days
after narrowing. Many young pigs
are so seriously injured during this
period that they never recover.-J. f.
Brethour, in Farmers Advocate.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES.
Unless They Are Carefully Observed
Beekeeping Cannot he Made
Real Success.

There are few first principles that
should be remembered by every bee
keeper. Here are some of them:
1. Bees when frightened by smoke
will Immediately gorge themselves
with honey and lose all inclination to
sting.
2. The most vicious colony of by birds
may be controlled by using little to-
bacco in the smoke.
3. The prosperity of a colony depends
upon the fertility of the queen. Ifweak
colonies have not become populous in
one season, kill the queen and give them
another.
4. Toads, skunks and mice are grea.
enemies to bees; see that they do not
have access TO the apiary.
5. Increasing or dividing should be
done as early as possible, but not until
stores are coming in abundantly
6. Drones are just as essential as any
other bee. but too many are nuisance.
This may be controlled by cutting out
drone combs and substituting worker
comb or foundation.
Z. Drones may be prohibited in obiec-
tionable colonies by dividing early in
the spring.
S. Keep all colonies strong.-Robert
Davis, in Farmers Advocate.

KILLING POULTRY.
Bleeding to Death Does Not Disfgure
the Fowls and Makes the
Flesh Nice and White.

1t is admitted that poultry when
bled to death is whittier in flesh than
when prepared in any other manner.
Then the question is how TO cause
them to bleed 10 death and not dis
figure them in any way. This can be
easily done by opening the beak of the
fowl, then with sharp-pointed knife
make an incision at the back of the
roof, which will divide the vertebra
and cause immediate death. after which
hang up the fowl by the legs until the
bleeding ceases. Next rinse the beak
out with vinegar and water. Fowls
killed in this way keep longer and do
not present the unsightly external
marks as those killed by the ordinary
system of breaking the neck. When
the entrails are drawn Immediately
after death. and the fowl dressed. stuff
it TO keep its shape; it will keep fresh
much longer. II is a mistaken idea TO
cram poultry just before killing TO
make them appear heavy, as the undi-
gested food soon begins TO ferment,
and putrefaction sets in, as is noticed
by the quantity of greenish-looking
fowls that are displayed in our mar
kets.-Farm and Fireside.

Treatment for Mango in Hogs.

A correspondent asks for a remedy
for mango in hogs: Make wash
by preparing a strong detection of
tobacco, STRAIN and dilute it. mixing
with it about one-half pint of glyc-
crime. Wash the hogs well with this.
Or rub it with the following liniment:
Linseed oil, one pint; oil of tar. two
fluid ounces; sulphur, two ounces.
Either should be used two days, allow
ing il to remain three or four days.
Then wash with soft soap and tepid
water, and, If necessary, repeat the
application. Rubbing posts and the
sides and floors of the pen or sleeping
place should also be disinfected with
carbolic acid.-Midland Farmer.

THERE EVEN DEATH IS SLOW.
where Insurance Agents Are Willing
to Take All Kinds of
Risks.

Everybody in the oilcloth and linoleum
trade knows "the Potter boys" of Phila.
delphia and New York. Col. Tom Potter, of
the former city, who got his title through
staff appointment by former governor of
Pennsylvania, is a thorough Philadelphian,
firm believer in that town-in all her in
stitutions, big and little, and in her magnifi-
cent future, but he always helps to circulate
good story on Philadelphia, just the same,
says the New York Commercial.
A hustling Stree lance" in the life insur-
ance business was over there the other day
trying to write a $4,000 policy in New
York company for rising young man who
holds an important position with the Pot
ter company. This was his third or fourth
call, and he had his intended victim almost
worked up to the point of signing the appli-
cation.
an take the policy" he said, "but !
don't want it just yet. Wait few weeks. =
mo time like the present time" exclaimed
the agent. Delays are particularly danger
out in life insurance matters. Ill tell you
what III do in your case-if you'll make the
application now I'll carry the policy myself
for you for 30 days"
ooh, l wouldn't have you do that" the
young nan protested. II might die within
80 days, and then where would you and your
profits be?"
"Oh, that's all right, my boy! III take
the risk. You won't die that quick. Nobody
in Philadelphia ever died in 30 days."

BLAcKLEG IN CATTLE.
The Disease and It's Treatment Dis
cussed by Prof. A. r. Peters,
Nebraska Authority.

Blackleg in cattle also goes under
the names of symptomatic anthrax
and black quarter. The disease was
for many years COMPOUNDED with an
thrax, and it was only found after
that limb. This tumor is filed with
gas, and upon pressure a peculiar
cracking sound is produced. The
meat which this tumor affects il
black, and the tumor itself contains
dark fluid.
Blackleg is caused by the introduce
ton into the system of a germ known
as the blackleg bacillus. The usual
manner of infection is through a
wound of the skin or mucous mem
brane. The germs do not pass out with
the excretions, hence the disease is not
communicable from animal to animal.
But If blackleg carcass be skinned
careful research will show that ii is diff
fered in a great many ways from that
disease. Especially in its contagious ma
ture is the distinction marked, for Of
animals other than cattle only sheep
and goats are susceptible, and these
slightly. The symptoms of the disease
are familiar TO all stockmen. These
are lameness in the front or hind leg,
accompanied by the development of a
tumor, and if the blood and juices be
allowed to enter the soil or if such
carcass be allowed to decompose with
out being buried, the germsform spores,
or Ego to seed" and in this form may
live in the soil for many years, ready TO
begin life anew as soon as conditions
are favorable. Thus the pasture may
be a constant source of infection. To
prevent this the carcass must be
burned Immediately, or buried at least
six feet under the ground.
There have been many treatments adj
vocated for this disease. The most
common are rowelling and the use Of
setons. These are alike utterly worth
less.
Within the last five years there has
been introduced vaccine prepared
from the dried meat of the muscles of
the tumor of an animal that has sue
cumbed to the disease. This is the only
practical method at command at pres
ent for combating the disease if the
animal is exposed to infection.-Na-
tional Rural.

How to Fight Red Mites.

The red mites are difficult to destroy,
but it can be done. If they are in the
nests of the sitting hens the nests must
be burned, and probably the new nests
will have to share the same fate, as a
few nits and lice may remain on the
hens Sitting hens are quickly killed
when left to the mercy of these mites.
The rooets should be so constructed
thatthe lice will take refuge in grooves
on the under side, after which the
roosts may be temporarily removed,
the grooves saturated with oil and the
insects destroyed by fire. This will
have to be repeated for some time to
make the work complete.-Farmers

ton OF development only to be obtained by
the conservation Of devoted lives to eduea-
