FAT ON the Hoo.
Only Put u on When Fitting the AMI
nal for Market.

The hog that is to be kept on the
farm for breeding purposes does not
need much fat. The more fat he has
the more expense Of muscle and en-
ergy there 10 required to carry 1t
around and the more food must there
be expended for that purpose alone.
The hos stores nothing on his body
except what may be used for some
other purpose than to please the
butcher. In fact, the butcher is not
looked out for by Nature. The object
Nature has in storing up fat Is to give
a surplus to be used as fuel in the
lungs. This fat 10 to be burned up in
the creating of energy to keep the
machinery Of the body in motion and
in the creating Of heat to keep up the
temperature Of the body. There is,
therefore, no reason for putting on
the back of the hog a lot of fuel for
him to carry about with him till the
time he needs 1t. 1t would be like
piling onto the tender of an engine
more coal than could be used in a
single trip. The extra weight would
be carried for nothing and would only
be in the way. The hog that Is to be
kept should therefore have only a
small amount of fat on him at any
time. This will make 1t more natural
for him to exercise and the exercise
will improve his health.
The fat on the hog that is to be sold
is worth money In the market and
should be put on freely. The hog
should not, however, have so much fat
that he Is likely to 60 down when
on the Journey to market. The buy
ers Of hogs like to have fat hogs. but
they do not want them too fat. An
overfat hog on hot day has good
chance to die before reaching the end
Of his journey.

REMOVING HORNS FROM CATTLE.
Better to Let Them Grow and Then
Dshorn Than to Prevent Growth.

Many who write ON this subject
recommend the removal Of horns, 30
to speak, by preventing them from
growing. This sounds well, but It Ia
ut least open to question a. to wheth-
or It is better to prevent horns from
growing by the application OF some
caustic material or 70 take them on
at O later period. 49,
To prevent horns from growing IL
not in all instances the easy task that
some persons imagine It to b. II too
much caustic potash. which n gsner-
ally used. II applied. II will burn too
deeply. II too little 10 applied the
horns will not be sufficiently checked,
and q second application will be nee
essary. Many Of those who have used
this application have not used 1t With
entire success. The result has been
miniature horns that have been more
or less deformed. The caustic is more
or less dangerous to handle. II any
Of It should reach any other part, and
this Is easily possible unless the
calves are isolated, 1t will remove the
hair. 1t is also very easy TO inJure the
fingers unless great care u exercised
in handling the potash, and 1t must
be kept with care or 1t will waste.
But there Is the strong objection. says
Orange Judd Farmer, to such dehorn-
ing arising from the fact that animals
dehorned young learn to push with
the head and to strike in a way that
they would not II the horns were al
lowed to grow until they can punch
just little with them and they are
then cut off. The loss of the horns
seems to discourage them so much
that It takes all of the fight out of
them. The most docile animals by
far are those who have lost their
horns after they have come to know
how they could use them.

HINTS FOR FARM HORSES.

Never shout at a young horse while
training him.
A we'll grown yearling Is worth
more than q stunted two-yearold.
Keep the colts feet In good shape.
Do not let the toes become too long.
Irregular feeding makes thin
horses, no matter what amount is
given.
The oat box should be large. with
broad bottom, 90 that the oats will
scatter and not be bolted.
The brood mare should have q few
hours exercise In the yard or on the
road every day. It does not pay to
keep her confined.
The horses and colts should be kept
away from the hens and hogs. The
odor of the pigpen Is offensive to the
horse, and hen lice are hard to Grad
icate
See to 1t that the work collars At
and that they are kept soft and clean.
There are few things more discourag-
ing In the beginning Of busy season
than horses with sore shoulders, and
this vexation and cruelty can be
avoided by the exercise of proper
care.

pure bred dams II possible.-Cole-

Tamworth. In . few cases the record
Of litters Of grade and mixed breeding
was given; these are included In the
results.
Inc numper OF sows whose Htters
were reported was 1.477. The number
OF boar pigs was $3.50; the number Of
sows, 6.626, and the total 1926. The
average per SOW was as follows:
Bears, 4.B2; sows. 4.48: total, s.99.
The figures are mainly for litters far
rowed during 1905. In 40 cases sec
ond litters during the year were re.
ported for the same sows, which some

Bears are seen to be slightly more
numerous than sows, but for all prsc.
tfcsl purposes the sexes may be re-
garded as equal In number at birth.

The Macrcol.

The word madrisal sounds very formidable to beginner h music. More than once have heard the ques- tlon, What is madrigal?' Strictly speaking, a madrigal is an elaborate vocal composition in from three to six parts. generally sung in chorus. The melody should not be carried through single part, but should be dispersed in phrases through the different voices In the conversational manner peculiar to the music of the sixteenth and sev- Cnteenth centuries. The true madrigal has no accompaniment. This form of song is considered English, but is thought to have had Its origin In the Netherlands. The exact derivation of fhe word is not known. The first madrigals are believed to have been morning songs, shepherds lays or songs in praise of the Yirgin-Circle Magazine
