IMPORTANT QUESTION.
when Do Swine Make the Cheapest
H. Gains, In the First Season or
Ht' at Mature AGeS

It is now pretty generally under
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains the most cheaply near the
birth period, and also the most rap
idly. This is owing to the greater
activity of the secretions when an
finals are young. But this explana-
ton does not so we'll apply to the
case of swine. After several years of
experimenting ut the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, it has been ascer-
tanned that pigs do not gain nearly
so rapidly when they are young as
when of more mature age. When
they were on the sow it was found
difficult to make them gain pound
a day. After weaving for two or
three months they seldom made more
than one-half pound per day, but aft
er say five or six months for the next
two or three months they gained we'll
on to two pounds per day: Thus it has
been shown in several instances, that
Between the ages of five and eight
months pigs have made the most
rapid increase in weight. The exper-
lmentS referred TO were not Hduc
with view to test this question, but
these results came out incidentally
in large number of tests. AS re-
suit of the casual manner in which
these conclusions were reached, the
relative cost of the gains cannot be
given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount
relatively of the food consumed.
This is a great question. 1t ought
TO be further Investigated. The ex-
periencc referred to calls up the
thought that it may be possible to
market pork too young to bring the
grower the greatest profit, even
when swine are sold as young as six
or seven months, the popular age at
which to sell. These results in swine
growing, so different from those OBJ
tanned in growing cattle and sheep
are well worthy Of the closest study.

when to Slaughter a Pig.

When to slaughter pig must de-
mend on what we have to feed him, and
the price at which feed is selling in the
market. The price of pork also cuts
some figure, but not so much as the
price of feed. For instance, this year
in some localities pig feed is so high
in price that every pound of additional
weight put on costs ten cents, which is
far above the highest market price
possible. Where the hog raiser lives
near a creamery and can get skim
milk at low figure, or near a cheese
factory and can get whey for Prac-
tically nothing, it often pays to keep
the pigs till they are of good size, even
when other feeds are high. This year
a good many pigs are being got rid
of as soon as they attain weight OF
$50 pounds.-Farmers' Review.

SuPERSTIrIOUS FIREMEN.
Queer Notions That Prevail Among
the Members of q New jersey
Department.

The efficiency of the fire department
in many suburban cities near by has
been often proved, and was notably
exemplified at the Paterson fire, at the
recent big fire, says report from
that city. Several towns near Pater-
son were quick to send aid, but If one
prominent Jersey place sent its fire
department the chances are that the
ladder and hose have not reached Pat
erson yet.
The fire department Of this partic-
ular town-it proudly calls itself q
city now-distinguished itself ut a re-
cent blaze. One of the finest houses In
the place, a large stone building,
caught fire one morning about ten
O'Clock. The owner, New York bust
ness man, was notified by telephone,
and hurried home as fast as he could,
considering the towns none too &C.
commodating train facilities.
When he reached his home he saw
the towns fire apparatus on his lawn,
accompanied by the members of the
fire company. In the third floor from
the window the suburbanite saw q
mans face and shoulders. It was his
coachman. The man was yelling loud
and long, but not from fear. He had
been trying for an hour to get the
firemen to bring the fire hose into the
house, where they could get at the
flames. They told him that it was too
dangerous; that they were supersti-
tious about going into burning stone
houses. Finally, to shame them, he
had gone up through the house, and
stuck his head from the window. But
it was of no avail. The firemen would
only pour water in the windows, ru-
lining many a beautiful piece of fur
niture that might have as we'll been
saved. The firemen did one laudable
thing-they sent for hose from a
town about three miles away. The
hose arrived later in the day. Those
who answered the call put the hose
on an ice wagon that happened to be
going in the right direction. The
driver delivered ice as he drove along
his weary way. The hose was the last
thing delivered, and the hour was
somewhat late; but the urgent call
was answered.

Treating Blont in Sheep.

The trouble of hoover or bloat in
sheep, caused by various gaseous foods
being taken into the stomach, such as
green clover, alfalfa, etc., is easily re-
lieved by tying a round stick back in
the mouth. This is done by taking a
piece of an old broom handle or other
round stick of about that size. The
stick should be eight or ten inches
long, cut grooves around the stick near
each end and tie at these places a
string which can be tied back of the
head, when the stick is put in the
mouth. This arrangement forces the
mouth to remain open. The gas will
quickly escape and the animal will be
relieved. This treatment is as ap-
plicable for the COW as for the sheep,
but larger stick is required for the
cow.-Nebraska Farmer.
