Hog Feeding Experiment.

In a recent address delivered by
Prof. ]. H. Skinner before a gather
ing of stockmen, on the subject of
Feeding Hogs" a number of expert
ments were cited, showing the gains
made by hogs when they are fed diff
ferent rations. In some experiments
at the Kentucky station it was found
that corn and cob meal was an in
ferior feed for hogs, and since the ex
pense must be added to the cost of
feeding it, it was found not to be a
profitable feed. The only advantage
in grinding corn for hogs is that they
may be made to consume it in rather
larger quantities.
At the Cornell station two lots of
pigs were fed on cornmeal, l pound to
skim milk SO pounds and cornmeal l
pound, meat scraps and skim milk, 2.S
pounds respectively, and about the
same gains were found, with hut lit
tie difference in quality. Gains cost
more as the pig grows older; hence it
is the most profitable to feed the
younger stock. The fattening period
should be short, however, and the pig
made to grow rapidly to produce a
good quality of pork. The length of
this feeding period has an influence
on the amount of feed required per
hundred pounds gain An experiment
on this has shown the following re-
suits: The food required for the first
four weeks was AIS pounds; second
four weeks, 461 pounds, ana third four
weeks 500 pounds per hundred pounds
gain.
There is a greater variety of feeds
available to the pig feeder than any
other stockman, and if he be careful
he need not have his herd off feed be-
cause of a lack of change. Gucculent
feeds are very valuable and almost
indispensable to the feeder as a health
food Grain, roots. rape, oats and
peas frequently added to the regular
ration will give surprising results in
growth.
The preparation of feeds often is of
special interest to the feeder. The rel
ative merit of grinding, cooking or
soaking are sometimes misunderstood.
Usually it is safe to act upon the most
natural method of preparation.

The sunfIower and Its Seeds.

To what extent the sunflower may
have a place of Importance among &C.
onomic plants we are not advised. Nor
whether there is any manufacturing
esta blishment in any city of this coun-
try that buys the seeds in large guam
titles or not.
We are told that the oil is valuable,
and we have no doubt of it. The most
frequent reference to sunfiower seeds
is in connection with poultry feeding.
They are said to be a superior food for
fancy fowls especially, causing a more
brilliant development of feather than
any other food material. 1t is posi-
Bile that they are suitable food for
sheep and cattle, but we have no in
formation on the subject. Perhaps
some reader can enlighten us concern
ing it.
1t is a crop easily grown and easily
housed and marketed. Until quite re-
recently the Mammoth Russian" was
the kind most commonly planted,
yielding anywhere from % to 125 bush
els of seeds per acre. 1t is a variety
producing one large head from u to "a
inches in diameter. In the past few
years a new variety has been intro
duced that is claimed to be much SUI
perior to all previous kinds. 1t is call
ed the white Beauty is also a sim
gle-headed variety yielding on good
soil as much as 1900 pounds of seeds
per acre. 1t is cultivated exactly like
corn-rows, 3 feet apart and stalk ev-
cry 80 or SO inches in the row.
Only plump seeds should be planted
dropping two to the hill and pressing
them down with the foot into the loose
soil of the burrow Later on thin to
one and cultivate as shallow as posi-
BILE.
1t is rather quickly maturing crop
and the grower should be prepared to
harvest at the proper time-just before
the heads are fully matured and be-
fore the seeds are liable to shatter.
The heads are gathered into close bas-
kets and close-bodied wagons. Four or
five inches of stem is left to each head.
Later on the seeds are threshed out
and sacked Possibly the best market
is st. Louis, Mo Seeds can be sown
from March until June.

On Friday last while Mr.. Frank
Brown and two sons were out cutting
wood the youngest boy was bitten by
a ground RATHER on the ankle. 1t
seems that a few days ago Mr.. Brown
had cut down a tree for the purpose
of making wood of it and had beer
called off to do some other work around
his place. After about a week he and
mis- sons returned to finish it. He
pried up the tree to put some blocks
under it so as 1T would be more con-
Venient to saw, and told the boy to
put the blocks under it. Just as the
little fellow finished he turned to his
father and told him that he was
snake-bit Mr.. Brown Immediately
corded his leg with his belt and then
killed the snake and split him open
and bound him to the bite while yet
alive. He then took the boy home
and gave him a pint of whiskey. So
far he is getting along very we'll and
has suffered very little inconvenience
from the bite. Mr.. Brown is of the
opinion that the cording of his son s
leg and the application of the snake
saved his life. The snake had six rat

Pruning the Crane.

The grape vines should be pruned
now at the first opportunity, for if de-
layed they are apt to bleed badly. 1t
is safe to cut off half or more of the
previous seasons growth. 1t is only
in cases of the previous seasons growth
that fruit is produced. In doing the
work it is to be considered that the
best canes for fruit are the largest
ones. These may be shortened by cut
ting off one-third or one-half of their
length, while the weaker canes may be
cut off entirely, occasionally cutting
away a portion of the old wood with
them. Sometimes, however, these
weaker ones may be so situated as to
produce desirable bearing wood for
next year. a point that must always
be kept in mind. In such cases it will
be best to cut them back to the third
bud, counting from the base of the
cane. This third bud is usually the
first entirely perfect bud produced, and
along with a good cane for next year
it may be allowed to bear one or two
clusters of grapes, but only if pretty
strong.
Proper pruning reduces the crop of
fruit in the number of punches, but
that which is allowed to remain is
much improved in size and quality.
This will be understood when 1t is re-
membered that one of the heaviest
drafts on the vitality of plants is the
production of seeds-the portion which
in grapes is least desired.
While pruning is not difficult, yet
some practice is necessary to secure
the best results

the society was organized fifty-eight
years ago, to "diffuse a knowledge of
Christ as the Redeemer of Sinners"
by means of the printed page.
During the year publications have
been issued in English, German. Ital-
ian. Bohemian, Polish. Hungarian,
Spanish, Bengal, Bulu, Fang and Mar
shall Island, and the manner of dis
tinct publications now reaches nearly
5000, of which over 1000 are volumes.
The whole number of publications for
seNenty-eight years issued from the
nome office, including volumes, tracts
and periodicals, reaches nearly $780,
100000, which does not include the mil
lions of tracts and volumes issued at
missionary stations in foreign lands.
The number of periodicals printed and
distributed in the past twelve months
aggregates 100000, and the number
OF languages or dialects in which the
society has published is 1855.

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.

the bulk of il is over by the last Of
the month, but this year a great deal
of the planting had TO be done in
February and some growers are still
planting, the middle of this month
Considerable of the seed first planted
rotted in the ground, but fortunately
the rain came before we had time to
plant much so that the ultimate Weld
will not be apprcciably lessened on
that account. l was fortunate myself
I had planted quite shallow and lost
very little seed. l think the planting
should be finished by the last of
January as it takes about three months
TO make the crop and if il is not out
of the wav before the hot weather
there is liable to be more or less blight
and rot. I noticed last spring that
the last dug potatoes We're not in as
good shape as those taken out ear
Iier. A neighbOr who planted late
last spring thought to make it all
right by digging when the rest ola,
the consequence was he not only lost
in bulk bat the potatoes were so inn
mature that he got less per barrel than
the most did. l have learned one thing
about the Irish potato in the South
and that is that it will not stand
good deal if ii is grown in cold weather.
/ raised a small patch of fall Irish
potatoes last fall and they were grown
in the mud and dug in the same. or
course they were not a very fine crop.
Although / think / will get my money
back from them, yet their keeping
qualities have surprised ne. 1t was
so wet when dug them that on some
parts of the land the men had to stand
on the beds to dig. We planted on
beds from three to four feet wide, and
we would often pick up a chunk Of
dirt in mistake for a potato. l had
Il great notion not to dig at all for I
did not think they would keep any
time, but they are keeping in fine
shape and are splendid to eat.
We are having ideal weather for
Irish pota toes now and 1 hope the
same will continue until the crop is
made as so much depends upon it.
