EXCELLENT PIGGERY.
Description of n Building That, 40.
cording to Its Designer, Will
Soon Pay for Itself.

Ithaslong been we'll lestablished fact
that pigs farrowed in winter are much
more profitable than those farrowed
in summer. Many farmers claim that
one winter pig is worth two summer
ones. With many this could not be true,
for the winter pig would usually be
a dead one. 1t may be that for lack
of proper preparation some of our
readers are just now passing through
disastrous experiences in winter pig
raising and that they would welcome
some suggestions in regard to prep
aration for another season.
With proper preparation and care,
pigs farrowed in midwinter can be
raised with as little mortality as those
farrowed in summer. In addition to
proper feed, the great requisite is COM

BROILERS FOR MARKET.
This 1s n business Tint Pays Quits
Well, If Conducted on Common
Sense Principles.

Some one asked, short time ago,
about rearing broilers for market.
First, the breed. 1t seems from the
various reports of broiler raiscrs,
that Plymouth Rocks are almost the
ideal breed for the purpose, the only
objection to the Barred is the dark
pin feathers, which objection does
not hold good with the White Rocks.
White Wyandottes are hard to beat,
also. The idea is to get a breed that
will stand forcing and will present a
nice appearance dressed at the age
you should market for broilers.
The first day they are fed sand,
after that they should be fed every
two hours during the day. The first
week they should be fed rolled oats,
millet seed and cracked corn, sweet
milk, sand and powdered charcoal;
the next week add mash, and use a
greater proportion of cracked corn;
the third week and on until mar
keted, for breakfast feed cracked
corn, then chopped raw potatoes. A
meat mill is the thing for this, then
chopped cabbage, next mash, and last
a full feed of cracked corn. Before
this last meal no more is given than
will be eaten up quickly; if from any
cause they fail to be hungry, miss
meal or two. This will generally
bring them around all right. The
last few feeds before marketing stir
cotton seed meal and treacle (mo-
lasses) in the mashes; this is to give
them the rich yellow color desired.
At the end of the eighth week the
birds should average almost. if not
quite, two pounds each. Continuing
this course, by Is weeks they should
make 51a pound roastcrs. 1t is i'm
possible to get such results from
mongrel stock, but of course, should
you be compelled to use them, such
feeding is bound to result in quick
growth.-Emma Clearwaters, in Ohio

youngsters. This can hardly be had
without the aid of artificial heat and
building especially designed for the
purpose. a farmer of Ohio is
preparing for the erection of build
ing after the plan shown by accom-
panying diagram. This diagram shows
building and adjacent lots. The build
ing is to be 12-sided or decagonal, and
is to be divided into 12 apartments of
equal size with space about 10 feet in
diameter in center. Eleven of these
apartments will be used as narrowing
pens, and one will be LETT for PASSAGE
way. The greatest dia,peter of build
ing will be about 26 feet. Floor will
be of cement and will be made TO slope
gradually from center to circumfer-
ence. Each pen will contain a floor
space of about 3S square feet and will
be provided with tenders, which will
consist of boards so arranged as to
project six inches from walls and will
be placed six or seven inches from
foor. This latter idea is well known
and is recognized as being great aid
in keeping sow from crushing her
y
otherwise be pressed against the wall
lind protection under this projecting
shelf. The inside ends of pens will
be made of wire so as to not resist the
heat from common stove, which will
be placed in center of building. A
large skylight placed in south side of
roof will admit an abundance of light.
The outer series of spaces repre-
sent small lots, one for each pen.
These are not large, but large enough
Tor the purpose. They are one rod at
outerend. The whole will occupy about
one-third of an acre and will be built
for about $780, In some localities it
would cost more, but with careful man
agement we believe it can be built al
most anywhere for $3.50. 1t can be
readily seen that such a building will
soon pay for itself. For the purpose
designed we have never seen ANYTHING
to equal it'll. Z. Tweed, in Ohio

DESTROYING CLODS.
and Good Common Sense Ac-
cOmplish Wonders.

If you have piece of hard land to
| break, which is so baked as to come
| up i'll clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with disk or cutaway
| harrow ahead of plows, and break with
very small scooters, says a southern
| farmer. Do not try TO turn such land.
| If you still have cfods do not wait for
them to harden, but run a heavy roller
| or drag over and follow with some
| pulverizing harrow the same day.
| An hour or so will do this for each
days blowing. Thus you will pulver-
| iZe most of them quite easily. Run
| roller ahead of harrow so as to crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
| others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t will pay to take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
so much cheaper afterwards; and the
| yield will be so much greater. Every
time you go over with harrow and
crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.
We once selected one acre in
20-acre field, average spot, and
plowed and narrowed this acre IA
times right along before we quit.
We then planted and cultivated this
acre just as we did the rest of the field,
running the rows right along through
it. The yield was much more than
double any other acre. This has con-
tinued to be true for five years, in all
kinds of crops. All through the grow
ing season this acre can be distin-
guished as far as you can see the field.
All crops grow off quicker and yield
heavier. Culture is manure" is true.
But after all the old proverbs IAN
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" holds good here also. If the
hard pan is broken up and the water
permitted to go on down, so as not
to saturate the soil and remain in it
too long, the baking will be prevented.
If the baking or running together is
prevented the clods will not form. This
is as true of bottom land as of upland.
Stop the soaking and you will prevent
the clodding. One other point is worth
considering here. Do not burn any
vegetable matter in your farm. Plow
it into the soil. This will enrich the
soil and prevent the baking and clod-
ding.

BETTER THAN "ABOUT RIGHT"
Lesson Taught Thomas King, the
lecturer, by q Lank Yankee of New



Thomas Star King, the famous
preacher and lecturer, was settled in
California at the outbreak of the
civil war, and to his influence is
ascribed the change of public opinion
in that state from lukewarmness to-
ward the northern cause to devoted
loyalty. The Overland Monthly has
lately published an article on this
famous man from which we take an
anecdote told about Mr.. King by
James Il. Fields:
MIR. King, with friend, was max
ing trip through the White noun
tains. They were travelling by that
most denghtful of conveyances-a
country wagon. When they stopped
few minutes at the door of a New
Hampshire tavern, Mr.. Kings com
panion went in to replenish their
provision basket, and he remained in
the vehicle.
One of the TALL lank, slab-sided
Yankees that are always hanging
round a New England inn door
slouched up to the team and began
altering the harness. Stacking a strap
herean lighteninga buckle there, all
unasked, until Mr.. King got impa-
tient at the length of the operation,
and said, rather sharply:
"You needn't trouble yourself any
more. l think the harness is about
right"
The Yankee finished his work and
drawled out: Guess rights better'n
abeaout right"
There was no reply to this. Mr..
Kings friend returned, and he drove
off, confessing to lesson which he
needed to learn less than most of his
countrymen: Right" is better than
"about right"
