The Fattening of Hogs.

The cheapest method of fattening
hogs is to feed variety of food.
! On the majority of farms the hogs
| are pushed forward after the fall is
nearly over, but they are not always
! penned in a condition in which to fa-
cilitate the fattening operation. One
! method of using corn is to finish
off" with it, thereby hardening the
| fat. To really fatten a hog 1t should
be fed in such a manner previous to
being penned as to force growth
| First build up the frame for the re-
ception of the meat that may be laid
upon 1t, feeding such foods as should
not only forward growth, but also
keep the animal in a condition that
time arrives for getting it fat To do
this in the most economical manner
pumpkins, beets, turnips, carrots,
water squash and parsnips, together
with f1n1ly cut clover hay, may be
fed with good results. 1t will not
do, however to feed such substances
in a wasteful manner. A cauldron

large quantity of roots, and warm
feed should be given early In the
morning, the mass thickened with
ground grain or some of the we'll
known mill products rich in protein.
At noon feed composed of chopped
roots, fed raw, but not too cold, will
be sufficient. At night they may be
given a liberal supply of corn. Such
foods will not only keep the hogs in
good health, but will be the cheapest
diet at this season that can be al
lowed, as the varied articles will rap
idly push them forward while the
weather is not severe. Do not crowd
the hogs and feed in a manner so
as to permit them to eat without COM
petition. The farmer should utilize
anything on the farm that viii serve
to assist in making growth or fat,
and should not overlook the fact
that the market prefers hogs which
contain fair proportion of lean meat
as well as fat.

A yard fifty feet long and ten
wide will be sufficiently large to pro-
vide exercise for small breeding
flock; and the wire netting need
only be eighteen inches high, which
Will not cost more than $3.50.
Though the fence need not be high,
1t must be very securely fastened to
the ground; for ducks seem to pos
sess abnormal powers when 1t comes
to creeping under anything.
A trio of good ordinary market
stock should be purchased for about
81. Ducks are not like hens-they
do not lay all the year round; but
when they start they are attentive
to the business of egg production
daily, so that a couple of mature
Pekins will provide you with a sit
ting in six days. As you will want
10 keep some of the young ones for
next years stock, ask the breeder you
buy from to ship you birds two rears
old, as their progeny is stronge..
Pekins never want to sit; SO hgus
m list be used for Matching until your
stock is large enough to fill an in
cubator in a few days. Artificial
duck-raising is without doubt the
best There is one farm in Massa-
chusstts that markets ffty-five thou
sand young ducks annually, sells
two tons of feathers and keeps
twelve hundred breeders. Would
such an immense business be possible
In the old way?
Though Pekins don't need water
to swim in, they must have quanti-
ties TO drink, always fresh and clean !;
which means that drinking-pans
must be refilled three times a day,
and be so constructed as to enable
the birds to submerge the whole bill
in the water. Why7 Because there
are two small holes in the base OF
the bill which become clogged with
feed or mud, and unless they can
rinse these out when drinking the
poor things smother.
A man who had broiler farm
near our place three years ago

and lost every one within two weeks

Sailing the Horse.

All horses need salt and often suf-
fer for the want Of It. A lump of
mineral salt or a salt brick may be
put in one corner of Che stall where
the horse can take 1t when he likes;
but do not put the salt where 1t will
mix with the grain. for In that case
the horse will get more salt than he
wants. This method of having salt
always before him will prevent him
from eating too much at one time.
The next best plan is to give the
horse all the salt he wants once a
week, say Saturday night or Sunday
morning. Have some regular time
for this. or else you may forget 1t.
