Feed For Growing Pigs.
Growing pigs should never be fed a
great amount of corn. They should
receive bran, shorts and in some cases
onts, although outs are not consid
ered a very profitable feed for swine.
Ground barley is excellent and good
grass is always desirable. The pig
should never be extremely fat, as it
checks growth aiyj injures his thrift
The gigs should be kept
growing fro™ ;Byt To finish, as a poor

A tncre For tvliestj
Wheat bran, having been used by a
Western farmer ns a manure for
wheat, lias been found by him to lie
excellent. He claims that the appli
cation of one ton of brtin to the acre
is equal to that obtained from the
usual application of a mixture of
1 'one dust, guano, lime aud wood
ashes, and that the difference in yield
of crops that received bran ns com
pared with those not so treated was
very great.

An exchange tells of a tile which
received the drainage of a nine-acre
field, aud was found to be discharging
at the rate of 450 barrels in twenty
four hours, when there had not been
any rain for forty-eight hours. This
is fifty barrels per acre, aud it would
require but a few days to reduce a
wet and miry field to a condition fit
for cultivation. There is no question
but that tile draining enables the land
to bo worked earlier by making it
drier, and yet by keeping it more po
rous it makes it. less subject to injury
to the crop by drouth. But not all
fields of lew land cart be tile drained
with advantage to the owner. There
are settle where there is not fail
enough from the surface to running
water to allow draining to the required
depth. And there are Basins which
are so surrounded by higher land, and
possibly Uti.d belonging to other peo
ple who would not allow ditching
through it, that to tile drain in the
usual way would be almost an Impos
sibility. But we hare relieved such
places.by sinking a well or putting a
large tile down until it reached a
sandy or gravelly subsoil, Whether it
were four feet or twelve feet. If put
in the lowest part of the bas.n. the
water would flow there without
trouble, or if the basin was large it
might be carried there by lateral
drains.—The Cultivator.

liaising Winter Hatched Chirks.
February is the best month in whir l
to raise young chicks. The pullets not
only make the carlo i layers if kept
until tiie following fall, hut. will bring
the highest price In the spring if put
on the market early. Both pullets and
cockerels may be sold if desired, and
leave room in the yards for the later
hatched birds. It lakes care and pa
tient work to make a success of rearing
winter hatched chicks. They should
be forced from the start and kept
growing r.ll the time. Experiments
have taught me that a soft food con
sisting of boiled roots, slightly sea
soned and mix'd with green bone an’|
a dash of cayenne pepper for thohi
morning feed is best. Several times
during tile day they may be fed a
little wheat or corn chop, preferably
whole wheat. At night they should
be fed a full meal yf corn ns soon ns
they are old enough to swallow the
kernels, and before they can cat whole
corn the corn chop will answer the
same purpose. The objection that corn
is too fattening does not hold good in
winter as in summer, for so much of
it Is used in keeping the body warm
that there is little danger of an excess
of fat. Every poultry raiser should
know the importance of keeping grit
before bis fowls at all times. When
chicks are to be raised with hens, a
very warm place should be provided,
with a small scratching shed attached.
If an ordinary coop is used for each
brood, a heavy banking of straw
should surround and cover it. Usually
a small door for entrance to the coop
Is r.iljrlhe ventilation necessary. The
floor of the coop should be covered
-with hay to the depth of several inches.
In severe weather the chicks are con
i', nod to the scratching shed.—Mrs. C.

VIRTUES OF VOLCANOES.
They Fuml.li Mankind With Same of It.
Important N.ods.
The crops of the country round Vesu
vius were spoiled last spring by rain
charged with hydrochloric acid. But it
is the first time such a thing has hap
pened tor more than thiry years, and
this very acid, in tue small amounts
which the volcano usually gives off has
been largely responsible for the enor
mous crops which this district usually
yields.
The slopes of Mount Vesuvius pro
duce, in fact, nearly treble the crops
which other neighboring parts of Italy
can be made to yield, and this is only
CTC pf e buUr(l s ’ch districts which

composed of crumble 1 lava.
Even the dust which volcanoes eject
is often extremely valuable to the far
mers upon whose land it falls. In ISBI
a violent eruption of La Souffriere, the
great St. Vincent volcano which has
recently gj-.cn so much trouble cov
ered ’.he whole of Barbados with some
two inches of ashes. At the time Bar
bados was suffering from a fearful
plague of red ants, which tendered
some parts of the island almost inhabi
table. The dust absolutely destroyed
there pests, and not only that, but dou
bled the crop of sugar cane the next
year. Tae fertilizing effects of that
dust were visible up to the year ISt’.O.
Not even the great rivers of the
world can compare in fertilising pow
ers with volcanic outbursts. Tombora,
at its last great eruption. emitted
enough dust to have covered the whole
of Germany two feet deep, and the
dust greatly improved the land it fell
upon.
But ethers besides farmers owe much
to the a ticn of volcanoes. Does it oc
cur to you tt’.at warfare and sport, as
practiced during the past three or four
centuries would have been impossible
out for volcanoes? Gunpowder’s most
important ingredient is sulphur, and
sulphur is purely a volcanic product.
Another most indispensable product
of volcanic action is gypsum, better
known as planter of parts. Sculptors,
cast makers and surgeons alike would

Dairy Notes.
An Important Difference.
A difference of only one quart of milk
a day for ten months between two
cows amounts to :100 quarts, which
will be worth from $lO to S2O, accord,
ing to the price obtained per quart.
This fact should convince all who
sell milk from the farm that it doe#
not pay to keep puy but the best cow#
to be obtained.
A llation For the Ccw.
Not every farmer has a silo or a
corn-shredding machine. They cost
tco much for the man who has but
two or three c-ows. But he can pick
(he ears from Ins corn stover and the
grain ground and the cob, too, if lie
so wishes, then have the stover well
cured in the field, and when he takes
it to tlie barn have it cut into pieces
not more than a half inch long, and
shorter if possible. Then moisten it
with warm water if such is convenient
to the cow stables, aud cover it up to
steam for twenty-four hours, at least,
before feeding. Put on each cow’s
ration as much and such grain as her
condition calls for, and if she does not
do as well as she would on ensilage,
she will do bettor than on dry corn
stover. It' obliged to wet it with cold
water, it will be belter for standing
forty-eight hours, to germinate a little
heat by fermentation.
Alfalfa For Milch Cow*.
A test with alfalfa was made at the
Wyoming Experiment Station, coin
paring alfalfa with wheat bran as a
ration for milch cows. As is well
known in every dairy section, wheat
bran is an exceedingly eilicient feed
for the production of milk. It is easily
digested and the returns are always
satisfactory. However, it is very
costly in the Western States aud al
falfa is cheap. According to analysis
the alfalfa contains a little more crude
protein than bran and considerable
more ash. With this in view, a test
was made for twenty days with some
milch cows upon a neighboring farm.
For the first ten days a ration con
taining a small amount of bran and
all of the alfalfa hay that wouhj be
eaten was given. The last ten days a
heavy food of bran with native hay
was given. The results show that al
though the bran produced the highest
yield of milk, the alfalfa ration was
by far the most economical,
Beans an a IL-dry Food.
Query.—Some farmers arc buying
ground beaus for cows. Is it safe to"
feed them? What should they be
mixed with for a good milk ration?
Which of the following is cheapest,
according to feed value at given prices
per ton? Bran s2.\ middlings $25,
corn meal $27. beans sl4.
Answer, t will say that we have not
experimented in the feeding of beaus
to milch cows at tills station. Ground
beans ran lie fed with apparent safety
to cows if fed only in very small pro
portion and thoroughly mixed with
other food. The market price of beaus
is generally too high for stock fond,
except tin- damaged maieniai, so they
are seldom heed for cows. We do
not advise tile use of any such un
palatable food in more than very small
quantity. The wheat bran will sup
ply about fifty-seven per cent, of di
gestible dry matter, wheat middlings
about; sixty-five per cent, and corn
meal about seventy-six per cent. Thu
choice of these grains depends upon
what coarse fodders are Available.
The brau and middlings supply nearly
twice as much digestible protein as
th<> corn meal. The beans are highly
nitrogeumis and at the price would
supply the small proportion of protein
li'.;:!. can be safely derived from this
source cheaper than the oilier food.

short pipes, c and, the pipe from the hot
water boiler in the house is connected
with the pipe, e f. which as before
stated supplies the barn with cold

Then all that is necessary to fill the
barn tub with warm water is to open
the valve I>, and shut valve a. thus
letting the warm water from the house
boiler into the pipe which goes to the
bam and shutting off Hi liow of
cold. This clever little scheme has
worked successfully on an up-to-date
