9UNDAY MORNING. AGRICfILm 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 pig s .ijuui pAy? t , L 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. • A <%***• : jjf Tito Drimiluc. 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. About flic Corn Crib. livery corn crib should have some means by which corn may be put in Without having to pitch over the top from the first, and by which it can hr easily removed at the bottom.

When till ing the crib one board after another may be put in from the bottom up and in fairing corn out a board may be pried loose at the bottom.—A. Frank lin Shull, in American Agriculturist. 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. U Barrett, in Xew England Home cicad. 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 their Tenuity to the soil being 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?

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. Dr. IV. I*.
