For the bestegg production in heavy

When a hoe becomes dull it retards

The last month or so of a pig’s life

The Boston American Cultivator,
discussing the subject of food for horses
says that “ground grain is the cheap
est form in which nutriment can be
f iven to working horses. But to pro-
uce tlie best effect it should be mix
ed with cut hay, not to give greater
bulk,tliiB the horse's stomach does not
require, but to make tin* food more
porous in the stomach, so that tlie
grastic juices may more freely work
through it. Meal alone, especially of
corn, which lias scarely any chaff, will
compact in the stomach and be less
easily digestible. The heavy chaff of
oats is one of the reasons this grain is
So valuable for horse feed. Anoth
er is that the oat abounds in ui-

Are those who have them hiking

The effect is better than feeding for a
long time with either one. A good
plan is to mix them all and they will
get some of each every time they are
fed. Dig for worms if any can be got
and if not give thorn a little of any
kind of fresh meat about twice a
week. Two or three times a week
mix some chalk beat up with dough.
In cold weather let the cold be taken
from the#wi*ter they drink. If they
heed they don’t object to tepid
water. Never let them run out in the
cold rain. The house they occupy
should fte clbaneil out every two weeks
or ten daysy Bee that the house is

kerosene on their roosts. If any look
t sick and droopy separate them from
‘the others. Give the sick one a dose
of at least two pills of tlie common
yellow soap. There is no trouble In
giving them if tlie pills are small and
covered thickly with dough. If there
are desperate cases administer from a
quarter to a half teasnoonful of tinct
ure of lobelia. Make the nests of
straw and keep them clean. It is bet
ter than hay and either is much bet
ter than leaves. Let tlie nest be com
pletely separate and so arranged that
they will keep perfectly dry. Borne
people put small barrels with straw
for nests, small enough for the hens
to get out oasily. Give the hens all
the egg-shells and let them have what
they will eat of carbonate of lime.
In some places this can be pulled
from old wall*. Mens wont lay well
unless they can get egg-shells or car
bonate of lime. It in easy to make
up some mortar with lime and this is
as good as any. It these suggestions
are followed a plenty of eggs will be
obtained and the chickens will be
in good condition and healthy.
HOGS.
It is enough to say in favor of tlie
Berkshire breed that they are easily
fattened, and in many instances will
dress at 400 pounds, at a year old and
at 18 or 20 months with proper treat
ment will weigli 000 pounds. The
Eesex is believed to be more valuable
for crossing, but do not equnl in pure
blood the Berkshire. The Suffolk
compares favorably with tlie Berk
shire, fattens easily and makes a
handsome return for good treatment.
Tlie Yorkshire makes a good returu
but does not equal the Berkshire.
The Chinese is a smaller hog but its
chief merit is as a crosser upon other
breeds.
Wo copied some time ago, the great
er part of an article from tlie Atlions-
Banner Watchman, giving an ac
count of a visit to Mr. \V. Y. Elder, a
successful agriculturalist of Oconee
county. We gave that part of tlie ar
ticle descriptive of Mr. Elder’s mode
of cultivating corn and cotton. We
refer to it again, merely to pat on
separate record the mnmirial formu
las for cotton and corn. The reader
will remember the method of cultiva
tion.
The manure for corn consisted of a
two-horse wagon load of loose, well
rotted lot manure, mixed with Orr’s
Hunters Magnolia Acid from 150 to
200 pounds to the acre. This is the
receipt for the corn.
For cotton the formula is 200 pounds
of Magnolia Acid and 100 pounds of
ootton seed meal, using 125 pounds of
tbis mixture to the acre.
Strawbkrriks and Raspbkrrirs.
It is rather late to put out plants
for those delicious berries, but with
good plants and careful attention
some fruit might be obtained the
ooming spring from good plants set
out now. October and November are
the best months to out them out for
good crops. But if little fruit can be
obtained the plants would be ready
for another season and xve refer to tlie
subject because this is a good time to
set them out. We know from expe
rience that large plants of one and
sound good stems of the other with
fine roots put out in January and
pushed by nice cultivation will bear
some fruit the coming season. Try it
and see.
Dairy cows will not he worth keep
ing in tlie winter unless well fed. One
experienced in dairying, says one of
the best feeds in winter is four parts
of shorts, two parts of ground oats,
and one part of corn meal. It never
fails to secure n gooil quantity of
milk and to add to tlie supply have a
green field of oats or rye to crop a
short while each day in the winter
months. A pasture of bermuda or
any other grass that withstands the
winter will do as xvell. This is a case
in which ensilage comes in witli much
profit. Stock fed on ensillage with a
moderate quantity of tlie above mix
ture will be kept m fine condition in
the cold months with shelter from
tlie cold rains and winds.
and is therefore worth more per
pound where strength is required than
corn or oil meal, whose chief consti
tuents are carbonaceous or fat-produ
cing,
There are many reasons why or
chards, even of the hardiest trees,
should not be planted on bleak, expos
ed hillsides. Every year, before the
fruit lias time to ripen, it is blown off
by fierce winds. Only the apples in
other sheltered places hold on until
regularly gathered. It is not a bad
plan to have two or three rows of ev
ergreen trees on the windward side of
an orchard for protection. 1 f planted
at the same time with tlie fruit trees,
tlie evergreens will attain size enough
by the time tlie orchard comes into
bearing to afford suflicient wind
break. And their value in retaining
fallen leaves under the orchard trees
will increase as the orchard grows.
Asparagus.—Growing this fine vog
etable from the seed is now practiced
