The swill barrel, into which was
turned all the skimmilk, buttermilk
and water used in washing utensils,
the dishwater and the waste from the
family table, both raw and cooked, and
in which these were allowed to stand
and ferment, though probably original
ly established from motives of econo-
my that all these waste materials
might be utilized in pork production,
has been much more a source of loss
than of saving to the farmers. Cases
of what were. called hog cholera often
resulted whHre these were kept, if the
milk which went into them was not in
much larger proportion than all else.
The fermented food was not whole
some. There was often too much salt
| went into the barrels when salt meats
were cooked, causing diarrhea, and Of
late years the soap and soap powders
used in the dishwashing have been
found to be a frequent cause of disease
when used in such quantities as 1t was
at summer hotels and boarding houses.
But the loss from sick or dead hogs is
not the whole. Many a hog has been
killed whose flesh was no more fit for
eating than it would have been if it had
died of the disease which filled it's en-
tire system.

HINTS O FARMERS


The value of the cabbage as food for
stock may be summed up as strong in
two p~oints-the large amount that can
be grown upon In acre of soil and its
succulency, which makes it a milk pro-
ducing food easily digested. But it re-
luires strong soil and good cultivation,
does not keep well for winter use I'M
less pltted where it will be frozen until
spring and even then having but a
short season, while if stumps and any
decayed leaves are fed it is almost i'm
possible to prevent it imparting a rank,
unpleasant flavor to the milk and but
ter or even to the meat unless its use is
discontinued two or three weeks before
the Strengthening. AS regards the nu-
tritive value, Professor Johnston in
Agricultural Chemistry" estimated 70
pounds of cabbage to have about the
same value as 4 pounds of oil cake, II
pounds of pea straw, 16 pounds Of
clover hay, 20 pounds of meadow hay,
40 pounds Of oat straw or 100 pounds
of turnips. This last we think he
bases upon the fiat or English turnip,
which are not as nutritious as the ruta-
baga. The value of the cabbages, as
of the roots, is best found when a
small amount is given along with
coarse, dry fodder and a limited
amount of grain.

CARE OF MEATS.
How to Keep Them Fresh During the
Warm Weather.

How to Keep Them Fresh During h
Warm Weather.
Meats of all kinds as soon as brought
from the market, if not cooked imme-
diately, should be placed at once in the
iceboX. If it is to be kept for a day or
two, it is best to wrap it up in wax pa
per and lay it close to the ice. If wax
paper is not handy, wrap it first in
cheesecloth, then in paper and place it
near the ice, says Mrs. Gesine Lemcke.
In the country, where fresh meat is
obtainable only nee or twice a week
and where there is no ice to keep it, it
may be placed in a jar or bowl and COW
cred with soul milk, tightly covered
with a lid or board and set on the cellar
floor. 1t will keep thus in good condi-
ton for four or five days, particularly
veal, lamb and mutton.
a piece of beef from the rump, round
or crossrib may be covered with vine
gar and kept for a whole week. Such
beef is generally used for sour roast
or beef a Ia mode. Another way to
keep fresh meats in the country is to
brush the meat over with salad oil and
then wrap it in brown paper and bury
it two feet deep in the ground. 1t will
keep thus in good condition for a week
or longer. Game of all kinds may be
kept either in the icebox or in sour
milk. Ham and bacon should be wrap
ped in paper and hung in a cool, dry
place.
If poultry is drawn, it is best not to
wash it, but simply to wipe it dry in
side and place it on the ice If ice is
not handy, it may be rubbed in and out
side with q little salt, wrapped in paper
and placed on a dish on the cellar floor.
Covered with a deep pan, it will keep
cool for several days.

The Onion Maggot,

When an onion field has become in
tested with the maggot, the best thing
to do is to put in some other crops for
a few years. But if such land has been
sown in onions this year there is a
natural desire to save the growing crop
If there is a fair crop started. Attempts
have been made to do this by the use
of kerosene emulsion along the rows,
and, while q few think that they have
succeeded. the majority report it a fail
ure. The only success we ever found
was in going over the field every day,
taking out all plants that had wilted,
showing that they were attacked by
the maggot, and sometimes the plants
each side, and destroying them by fire
or by giving the pants to hens, which
soon destroy them and all the maggots.

Growing Cranes.

The best training for grapes is a
three or four wire %trellis. The Mum
son system is probably the best be-
cause the most convenient. The worst
plan is to train the vines on a wire
netting fence, and nearly as bad is the
overhead and out of reach grape ar
Dor There are some varieties that
do well trained to a single post and
others that require no training at all,
only pruning. This latter is a popular
method with the slow growing varie-
ties largely grown in Mexico. They
are pruned into bush form. Farmers
and novices generally have too little
nerve to use the knife with sufficient
freedom. To prune grapes properly
the knife or shears must be used not
only intelligently, but r~emorselessly.
Some varieties are such rampant grow
ers that the knife must be used almost
continually.
