HOG KILLING NOTES..
IF All This Advice Comes Too Late,
Cut It Out and Save the Ar

The best meat is obtained from hogs
that are kept growing.and putting on
flesh close up to killing time. Tie AMI
NAL should not be fed for about "a
hours before slaughter.
When q pig is to be killed, see that
the knives are sharp and in good form,
and that everything is in readiness for
scraping and hanging the carcass. A
cheap ard suitable scalding vat can be
found in parafin cask, which may be
set in g slanting position at the end OF
the scraping table, which should he

wide and two feet high. The water
should be at q temperature Of between
$50 and 1856 degrees when the hog is
placed therein. If too hot or too cold.
the hair will not come of properly. The
old-fashioned plan of testing the tent
perature was to pour a few drops of
the pigs blood into the water; If II
spread evenly over the surface, the
temperature was considered right. Tue
water should not be removed from the
fire until it is quite boiling. and then
II put into cold barrel the tempera-
ture will be about right when the pig
is ready to be put into it. "A small
shovelful of wood ashes or a large
handful of soft soap put into the wa

sHEEPFoLD AND P,ccERY.

Petting sheep is almost as good as
feeding them.
A hog naturally is a clean animal;
man has made him dirty.
For satisfactory results in any flock,
the ram must be thoroughly we'll bred
and typical of the breed he represents.
Pure water and plenty OF it is relished
by hogs. But don't make them drink
great quantities of thin Stop in cold
weather for the sake of the grain. Bet
ter feed both separately.
Buckwheat piddlings are good feed
for hogs, but they make rather more
economical gains on corn and wheat
feeds. Buckwheat hulls are not fit for
any kind of stock. They make good lit
ter for the poultry house and the fowls
pick out any good stuff in them.-Farm

CRUELTY TO HORSES.
Faithful Animals Are Subjected te
Binders, CHECK Reins, Curb
Bits and Docking.

/ The horse, tle most useful Of Ill
animals, is the one marked for the most
of mems ill-treatment. For the most
part housed in ill-lighted, ill-ventilated
and ill-smelling quarters, worked to its
full capacity, cared for only to the de-
gree that selfish interest prompts, che
animal is delivered over as the uil-
protected object of the unrestrained
passions Of man. The average man
fails apparently to understand that ami
mails have q nervous system, among
them to marked degree the horse, and
that were he to govern his own tenn
per he could, with little patience, get
control Of the horses nervous system,
and make out of it q servant vastly
more efficient than it is under the sys-
tenn in which he beats and jerks and
drives it to distraction.

cover many blind horses Why? There
are no blind cows, comparatively. And
yet the sight of the one naturally is as
good as that of the other. The differ
ence is simply that the horse from the
beginning has been abused. ill-housed,
overworked and worked under condi-
tiohs that have driven him blind. His
eyes are shut in by binders at each
side, for which there is no use but TO
satisfy the caprice or fashion of man.
So. his vision interfered with and de-
prived of air, the wonder is that with
the other treatment ne gets Ae is iilSs
blind oftener. Besides this, in other
cases. his neck is almost pulled out OF
joint by overhead check reins that raise
his face to the air and turn his eyebalis
to the glare of the sun unprotected.
Or, on the other hand, deprived of
check rein, he is bitted with a curb
that pulls his jaws to his breast and
tortures him in this fashion. And,
then, according to the spreading fash
ion of the day, he is subjected to the
most cruel Of all practices, docking,
which not merely tortures in the prac-
tice, but leaves him to the torment Of
flies for the rest of his life. 1t is the
merciful man that is merciful to his
beast, and IL it is the merciful that OBJ

way to come before we get that bless

When BUYING a Horse.

"A farmer. speaking Of the way a
preacher was deceived into buying an
unsound horse said to me the other day:
Il was thinking how easy it is to fool a
man in matters he knows nothing
about" Buying horse is pretty tick
lish business unless man does know
considerable about the animal. And
even then it may be good plan to get
the opinion of some man who knows q
title more about horses tlan you do

"A convenient way of cutting the car
cass is shown in the illustration. Three
cross sections are made, one removes
the head, the next the shoulders be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs, the next
takes off the hams. The carcass can
then be easily sawed through with the
meat saw. This plan requires very lit
tie trimming for the hams. Shoulders
can be trimmed easily by removing the
ribs or neck piece, and cutting away
the scraps for sausage and lard. The
middle piece is then split through the
center. and the lower two-thirds of the
side removed, saving through the ribs
The ribs are then taken out Of the
side piece, leaving the lean meat on the
side. A part of the flank may be re-
moved for lard. and the remainder will
be available to be cured for bacon.
The lea1 meat on the upper third of
the back. including the ribs. is called
the pork loin. and is excellent for chops
or roasting pieces. Fat trimmings may
be used for lard and the lean TRIM
mings for sausage. The head and feet,
are scraped and cleaned and used for
head cheese or picked. Meat should
never be saited until thoroughly coled,
after which the quicker it goes into
the salt barrel the better.-Massachu-

THE FAITHFUL MULE.
He viii Be Accorded uniusual Hon.
and Prominence at the St.
Louis, Exposition.

In case the plans of the chief of the
live stock department of the worlds
fair meet the approval Of the manage
ment, the mule fand his kin will be ac-
corded unusual honors at St. Louis next,
year. A lack of knowledge exists as to
the varied utilities of the mule, but this
display at the fair will be an eye-opener
in this respect,
The mule has invaded the north to
stay. and we confidently expect quite {.
demand from the northern farm. Never
were the three great mule raising states,
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, so
raked and scraped for mules Of all
classes and ages as at the present time.
Not only are the farmers who raise and
those who feed sure of handsome profits,
but the dealer counts on wide and sure
margin. These latter come from every
part of the country to buy anything of
the long-eared type, from the smallest
colt to the fancy teams and high-priced
jacks. Choice colts are selling at $50
to 500, while fancy teams bring $3.50 to
$500.
Good-sized two-year-old mules are
put to work and do good service until Is
years old. and are not subject to disease.
Mules are more easily broken to work
than horses, and who ever heard Of
team of mules running away and tear
ing things up? II they run, it is very
short and wild run.
Who ever heard of q balky mule? No
team will carry buggy along smoother
and nicer than span Of small, we'll
broken mules. In fact, 5000 span of
mules will do more work than a $500
pair of horses.
The mule is easily raised. easily
broken to work, docile, trusty, hardy.

ster has in the way of work animals
