The secret of farm success is getting

will rush into the market with his
corn and oats and sell it for 10, 10 or
20 cents bushel; another will hold
his for better prices and little later
will get % to so cents for It. One man
will sell his hog to the town Butcher
for 21s cents; another will peddle his
among the people at cents; or bacon
Il and sell for s to 10 cents. This is
the mercantile part CT farming, and is
the one in which our farmers are most
deficient. Our farmers stand greatly
in need of education along these lines.
To grow a crop is but half the battle.
To save and use the crop as food for
man and beast and convert the surplus
into money is the better half Of the
years work-Southern Farm Gazette.

of hog as either black or white. The

more Elited to the care it is likely to
get on some farms than are the breeds
that have been developed to point
where they have about all of their
food supplied. One great factor in
favor of the Tamworth is that 1t ma

to be frequently met with and some

ing by the way he got about. The
demand of the market is for hog
of about 200 pounds, and the Tam
worth breeders declare that this is
more easily obtained on a large frame
than a small one. Some swine raisers
engaged in the production of pork
only have crossed the Tamworths with
the lard breeds and have got good re-
suits thereby. This could not be rec
commended for the production of breed,
ers, but in the mere making of pork
is matter that is worthy of trial.

A Short Description Of the symptoms
of the Many Diseases Of
Hens and Chicks.

When the excrement secreted by the
kidneys, which is normally pure white,
appears yellow, though the droppings
are solid and the bird appears perfectly
healthy, look out for bowel trouble.
When the crop is hard and unyielding
there is danger of the bird becoming
:rop-bound.
When the discharges are streaked
with blood, it is time to give preventives
for diarrhoea.

and the fowl is disinclined to stand,
rheumatism has taken hold.

dirt, and the eyes water. ward on pos
sible case of :roup by timely treatment
If the case is bad. apply the Ratchet and
bury the carcass.
When the bird seems lame, and has
small swelling on its foot, remove to a
house with no perches. and obiige 1t to
roost on. bed of straw. Bumble-foot is
easily cured in the early stages II the
cause is at once removed.
When a hen seems to drop down be-
hind, and goes repeatedly to the nest
without laying, she is usually suffering
from disorder of the oviduct. and

When the hen seems giddy, and turns

Feeding New Corn.

1t Is the custom of many farmers to
commence feeding ne wcorn to hogs as
soon as it is in the roasting ear, maxi
ing ii, with the addition OF pasture
frequently scanty, the sole feed rom
that time until the hogs are finished
for the market. This is a wasteful
practice. How wasteful, any farmer
can see for himself, says Wallace's
Farmer, IL he will pull on an ear Of
corn in roasting ear, hang ii up to dry,
pulling one each week until the corn
is ready to cut up, and then. about the
LIST of December, when all are thor
ougfy dry, shell and weigh the grains
on each ear, taking care that the ears
selected may be as nearly as possible
of the same length and the same NUM-
Der of rows.
He will then understand as he never
did before that up to the roasting-ear
stage the corn plant is simply getting
ready for work, and that its work OF
storing food in the ear is done in q
comparatively short period. II, there
