Hogs Fattened Without Corn.
As I hftvo made a most successful
-experiment, says Charles A. Peabody
in Farm Journal, iu fattening hogs this
season, I feel it my duty, hb well as my
pleasure, to give your readers the beu-
efitofit. Early in April, I planted
an acre in my extra early sweet pota*
toes, expressly to turn my hogs on. 1
also planted two acres in. chufas for
the same purpose. The chufas {.plant
ed in drills two feet apart, and about
a foot apart in the drills; they nearly
covered the whole ground. The sweet
potatoes were large enough to eat
the first of June, but I let them grow
on until the first of August, when the
ground was literally full of them. Thou
I turned on them some forty hogs. Af
ter they had run on them ( six weeks
and began to get full and lazy, I turn
ed them on the chufas. I never saw
hogs imptove so fast. As; I had heard
old farmers say hogs must have corn
to harden the flesh, I gave them about
eight bushels; this is all the hogs have
ever had. On the 28th of November
I killed them, and I have the finest
meat that 1 ever tasted. The flesh is
firm and 1ms a sweetness that I lmve
never before tasted in pork, tu
meat; it is more d. xirah’e than the ten-
derest turkey. The .viiuh land that I
had in these sweet potatoes und chufas
would not have hi ought more tli:
twenty bushels of corn in all. I have.
long contended that we coultl not af
ford to raise corn on our poor old san
ely lands to feed stock, und when I can
luuke such meat'on sweet potatoes and
chufas, I Would not feed ou corn if J
could make 100 bushels to thu acre.
Stock for Froilt on the Farm.
Stock raising has always been the
most profitable feature of mixed fann
ing among the masses. Now it is much
more so, with this one condition, that
the stock raised for profit must, he of
improved blood. Scrub stock no long
er pays at the present prices, nor
does it pay as well to sell product!! as
to feed them to good stock. Then good
stock is what farmers want, not fine
or fancy stock, hot stock judiciously
graded, tip improved every year by
breeding only to thoroughbred males.
Such stock matures earlier, grows larg
er, inak* s .better meat, and sells foi
more money than scrub stock on tin
same feed.—Western Agriculturist.
Health Hints for Farmers.
Danger comes from sudden stra
ibc of one mnst'e or set of mustlos, so
as to injure their tissue and cause
lameness. Few escape this. Then
add to this the injury of overwork.
Overworking is simply working after
the strength has been reduced so low
that it is painful or wearing to move.
It is winking aft'-r fbe nourishment in
the blood has been mostly used up. Ii
is 'ike keeping a mi 1 going when the
stream is low, or when the water in
t]v> dam v nearly out. In such cases
not only the muscles suffer, but all the £
orgai* i l the body. Overwork at last,
no matter what kind it is, produces
bankruptcy oi the body, which is worst
than any kind of bankruptcy, bud a*
th*»v all are. In the euro of the nitts-
eUsavdd co’ds and rheumatism. These
make people Milf ;i»d lume ; Then take
away the natural elasticity which gives
so much pleasure, i»nd substitutes a
worn-out., tired, exhausted feeling,
which borders on pain, and is often
,moru difficult to be n. How very care
ful the owner • f a fine horse is that
he sha'l not t ke c Id. lie knows if
he does it will founder, and after this
it will never be a good stopper. Our
whole country is full of foundered man
and women, who are still, lame, rheu
matic. old in feeling, inelastic. Most of
them might have preserved their elas
ticity to. old age, if they hud taken
proper care of then, e ves.
As a rule, farmers do not bathe
they should. The daily bath is io them
quite as important as to any class. It
requires but few moments to take it,
and when followed by fiiction, it forti
fies the skin against cel,Is.—Farmer’s
