FEEDING For Bacon,

There seems to be an opinion that the
pigs designed for bacon must be fed
along slowly until they have reached
the required weights. This is a mis-
take, says writer in National Stock
man and Farmer. 1t should be borne
in mind that young animals develop
muscle while growing and not after.
Therefore in order to secure the best
results they must be fed with the OBJ
ject of rapid growth In view from start
to finish. 1t is good plan to encour-
age them to eat when three weeks old
and feed them scalded middlings mix
ed in with milk while yet warm in
little trough where they can get to it
and not be interfered with by larger
animals. Clean the trough each time
before putting in the next feeding Of
the mixture. Keep the appetite good
by giving only as much as they can eat
up clean quickly. As they grow along
coarser feeds can be mixed in, such as
corn and oats ground together and the
hulls sifted out

Care of the Separator.

In order to have the perfect motion
of the separator bowl the machine
must be set level and be kept clean and
well oiled The oil should be thin or
light so it will not gum the wearing
parts. A heavy oil will make the ma
chine run hard and will gum quickly
on small high speed bearings. All the
bearings of the machine should be fire.
quently flushed with coal oil. 1t is well
to make a run about once in two or
three weeks, using coal oil on all the
bearings. This keeps the parts free
from gum and washes out grit or sand
that may have blown into them. 1t Is
an excellent plan to have cover of
close woven cloth or oilcloth that can
be kept over the machine while it is not
In operation. This will keep out dust
and will add materially to the lasting
powers of the machine. The separator
should be set upon good solid floor so
that it will not move about as the
operator turns the orank.-Professor e.

Pasturina the Eues.

The date Of turning the ewes on to
pasture is a period needing care and
judgment. 1t is safest to effect this
change gradually by turning to pasture
for few hours daily and back to shell
ter at night, where full ration Of dry
feed should await the ewes, writes a
breeder in Country Gentleman. In this
way may be avoided injury to the di-
gestive system of the lambs, often re-
sulting in death, which is caused
by too great a supply of rich milk
through the ewes feeding heavily on
new pastures. While until the ewes
system has become used to the change
from dry feed to pasture it viii be ben
ef1cial to supply a little dry feed, both
hay and grain, generally, If the pasture
Is at all good, 1t VIII supply sufficient
nutriment to the ewes, and it will not
be necessary to feed any grain.

The Game Of Club Wili Furnish !
Merry Hall Hour.


This is a game that causes much
amusement to a company Of chill
dren, and even grownups may join
in.
All the players, with the excep-
ton OF two, leave the room. One of
the outside party is then called in
and told that a new club has been
formed and his name enrolled, but
that he cannot be formally admitted
unless he can guess the name of
the club from the movements of
the two members who have remain
ed in the room.
The candidate for admission is
then offered a chair, and everything
ne says and everything he does is
mimicked by the other two. Some
times the new member guesses at
once, but when unable to do this it is
very funny to watch the effect that
the copying of his every movement
has upon him, especially when six
OF seven have been admitted.
When the name of the club has
been guessed, another candidate is
invited in, and the same perform
ance takes place.

A horse or COW may be bloated. If

Cows will occasionally injure a quar-

this can be milked out or got out of
the udder in some way the result will
be the loss of the quarter, either by

A hard milking COW in many instances
can be made to milk easily by a little
slit made with proper bistoury. Many
a COW with an injured or lacerated
teat loses it simply because the farmer
has not milk tube and knowledge
of how to use it.
The treatment of parturient apoplexy,
or tapping a COW that is bloated, is no
more of a skillful operation than the
hoeing of hill of cucumbers, and you
might with just as much sense send to
town for a man TO come and hoe your
peas and cucumbers simply because
you had no garden hoe as to send for a
veterinary to tap a bloated COW Or
treat COW for parturient apoplexy
simply because you had no tools. The
whole kit can be bought for $12 and, I
think, $40, and that is about what a
veterinary has to charge you for two
visits if he has to go five miles to make
them.

About ten days or two weeks before
1t Is desired to SOW the seed in the
hotbed the required amount of fresh
horse manure, to which has been add
ed one-third Of its bulk of straw or

not enough to make it soggy. The

settle it should be about fourteen or fif-
teen inches deep when first put in.
The best soil to use is compost,
such as Is used in greenhouses and

cutta. Surajah Dowlah, the Indian
ruler of Bengal, took Calcutta in the
year 1746 and put the garrison of 146
men into this dungeon, which had
only two small windows on one side,
covered with iron bars. The pris-
oners suffered torture during the
night, for there was not enough air
for them to breathe, and in the
morning only twenty-three of them
were found alive. This act has pass

Points on Live
Stock Feeding.

Some noted breeders were present at
the annual meeting Of the Ohio Live
Stock association and delivered In
teresting addresses. Feeding live stock
was treated in a clear and comprehen-
sive manner by Dr.. II. G. Miller of
Sunbury. He is practical farmer and
has made the care and feeding of stock
a speciality. He is a graduate of the
Ohio Veterinary college and well
known farmers institute lecturer.
There are no feeding stuffs that are
wholly heterogeneous or wholly nom
nitrogenous in their nature, and, as
both carbohydrates and protein are
needed for whatever purpose an ami
NAL is fed, it is we'll that this is so, he
said. Glover hay contains both kinds
Of nutrients so I + koerly balanced that
they make an almost perfect food
without anything else. But clover hay
is not so economical a food as corn,
and something must be added thereto
to make up the deficiency in protein.
Bran, cottonseed meal and many
other foods are valuable. but not so
economical at present prices as corn
and soy beans. AS rule, land devoted
to soy beans should be inoculated.
The crop costs about the same per
acre as corn. No satisfactory method
of harvesting has yet been devised.
The production of hogs for market
was ably presented by J. J. Ferguson,
for some years instructor in animal
husbandry in the Michigan Agricul-
tural college, but now in charge of the
animal food department of Chicago
packing firm. He spoke briefly of the
different breeds of swine and mention
ed the following as among the more
desirable characteristics of good
breed: First, the ability to make a
good use Of large amount of food;
second, an aptitude or tendency to
mature early; third, to show when
slaughtered a small amount Of offal or
waste in proportion to live weight.
The modern improved breed should
show an average gain Of not less than
one pound a day for the first eight
months of its life. .l,-.-
Feeding sheep for the international
live stock exhibition was discussed by
R. L. Stone of Stonington, Ill. he is
one Of the most prominent breeders
and successful exhibitors Of sheep in
this country. He had prepared car
load lots for the great exhibition at
Chicago and spoke from experience.
He fed seventy-fve or more lambs each
of Oxford Down, Southdown and
Shropshire together, treating all alike.
The principal feed was corn and oats.
He began by feeding one bushel of
corn a day and gradually increased it
to FIVE bushels. With the five bushels
of corn he mixed two bushels of oats
and supplemented this grain ration by
clover, cabbage, mangolds and carrots.
The Oxford Downs were the heaviest
throughout, but the Southdowns made
the best showing at the butchers
block With his method of feeding Mr.
Stone thinks it possible to make good
average lot Of lambs increase forty
pounds each in ninety days.

Every horse in the English army

is branded upon the horses hind

Good Feed For PiaIinqs.

Shorts, although as a rule much su-
perior to bran for pigs, are not infre-
Quently so coarse or contain SO much
fiber as to be very little better than
bran for young pigs. Good shorts,
however-that is, shorts containing a
fairly liberal admixture Of white ma
terial-are certainly a most excellent
feed for pigs of all classes. Under such
conditions they are among the very
best single feeds for young ones just
weaned. A slight admixture Of oil
meal improves it.
