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.
