GREEN CORN FOR PIGS.
Now Comes an Experienced Iowa
Farmer Who PrOcIaims 1t
Most Excellent Food.

The time of year has arrived for
the theorists to get out their adj
vice regarding the effects of feeding
green corn. l have already seen many
articles warning the people against
the free use of new corn to any
kind of stock, and more especially
hogs. Now, 1 have been feeding
green corn to all kinds of stock
for the last 40 years, and l have my
first case to record yet where any bad
results followed. l usually com
mence while the corn is in the milk.
l am feeding a few hogs at present
writing that l summered through on
blue grass pasture with not more
than two or three ears of corn per
head daily up to the advent of new
corn, and | must say l never saw
hogs gain as fast as they are gaining
l will make an assertion that will
be met with very strong opposition.
1t is this: l believe there is more
money made by allowing the pig crop
tic be carried through the first win
ter and only grained enough through
the summer to keep them growing
until new corn can be fed. ! will try
to give my reason as experience has
taught me. In the first place, we have
to feed our spring filters too much
grain from the start, in order to mar
ket them. The following winter they
have no time to grow bone or mus
Gle. They are more liaSe to disease
than when more matured. | will give
my idea, or at least my fancy, regard
ing hog raising for marketing. In
the first place, | would want good
old Poland sow crossed with a full
blooded Chester White male, the pigs
to come about the first of May. The
sow should be allowed to run in
bluegrass and white clover pasture,
/ where she may have access to plenty
of water to drink and also to wallow
in with plenty of shade. She should
be just kept in a growing condition
through the winter and the next sum
mer The result is large healthy
hogs. A very few bushels of corn
tell wonderfully when the corn is
passing from the milk stage Many
will argue that it does not pay to
? Keep hogs so long. But you get but
4 very little profit from your clover
: pasture in feeding your spring pigs,
and the difference in selling 400
{ pound hog against a 200-pound hog
will more than balance the extra feed
and labor required to grow it.-John
ii. Curl, in Prairie Farmer.

ALL AROUND THE STABLE.

In building stable. have the side
walls and ceiling so tight that they
will prevent dust from sitting through.
and so constructed as to keep cobwebs
from collecting. There should be win
dows in at least three sides, providing
not less than three square feet of I'M
obstructed window glass to each an
imal.
Never allow animals of other species
to be kept in the same room with
mich COWS.
AT least once every two months,
scrub your managers with water and
soap, I've or washing powder.
Leave the cutters behind the cows
open, and with enough incline to pro-
vide good drainage.
Give COWS frequent change of food.
This increases the appetite and the
more food a COW consumes the more
milk she will give. A COW possesses no
creative power; she only changes and
transforms the food into a different
form.

after he had taken possession of the
farm. He took the aforesaid mo-
lasses barrel and sawed it in two
parts. He thoroughly cleaned out
the spring and made foundation of
fat rocks for the half barrel to rest
upon. He made a similar foundation
eight or ten feet down the run"
for the other half to rest upon, and
ran bit of iron pipe from the
spring into the second half barrel.
The one over the spring had a square
opening made in the head, which was
left in to give a firm support to the
slaves, and a hinged cover put on
top. A hinged cover was also pro-
vided for the lower half barrel, so
that it can be closed when desired.
A tin dipper hangs inside the half
barrel over the spring, so that man
and beast are now provided for and
each can drink the water at its best.

Wood Ashes for the Pins

The best pigs that we ever raised

er of Winchester, Ind. We think if is
much better to keep a mixture of
wood ashes and little salt in a box
where the pigs can go to it at will.
They will go and get the ashes in the
morning before they will eat their
feed. We do not think it best to mix
the ashes in the slop or feed, as that
would make them eat more than they
would want, and might be more than
they ought to have. We have found
soft I've soap, made from wood ashes.
to be good to feed pigs to make them
hearty and grow well. We think wood
ashes and little salt, kept where the
hogs can get it, are worth more than
al the cholera remedies put together.

1t is a molasses barrel that figures
in the illustration, though barrels
that have served other purposes may
easily be made suitable. The spring
was in a little run" or rather at
the head of it, and the cattle going
there for water always stood with
their feet in the spring, making the
water decidedly unpalatable for the
cattle that came soon after them
