Sw'izt In a very handsome Gorman (
ui plo that begins to ripen about th
:yt (if AusuM. The fruit, which Is ol ,
n.-dlum Is nearly white, with a
l autlful blush. It is vmt flood In
i'.;ivor and Rood In quality either fot
l s-s. i t or for culinary use. The tree ii
jirodiictlve.
Williams's Favorite Is a dessert frull
that should lie more widely known. It
symmetrical form and deep red eolol
r; ake it an attractive apple In market
It Is also desirable for iiome use, as It
Is K-' 'd In flavor and quality. The tre
makes moderate growth and is a good
Lt-arer.
Among the October apples desirable
1 r culinary use may be mentioned Cox'i
J'nmona. It Is an old variety of KnK
ilfh origin. The fruit Is larte, highly
colored with crimson on a clear, very
pale yellow pround. mnklne It an at
tractive, market fruit. The flesh 1
white, erlxp, subacid. Tt cooks evenly
and runkH pood In quality.
AmonK the comparatively new or lit
tle known varieties of considerable
merit is the Sharp. The fruit resem
bles Maiden Mush somewhat In shape
.T.d color, and is better for dessert us
than that variety. Its llesh is nearly
wrflte, fine-grained, tender, moderately
Juicy, nearly sweet, of mild pleasant
llavor and very good quality; season,
October. The tree has fruited here but
three years, but It appears to be a good
bearer.
One of the handsomest late August
and early September apples In the sta
tion collection Is the Stump, which Is
excellent for market or home use. It
begins to ripen soon after Chenango
Strawberry, which It resembles In
shape. The tree Is upright and produc
tive. The fruit, borne on short spurs
lone to the limbs, is pale yellow, beau
tifully striped and shaded with red.
Flesh firm, crisp, tender, subacid, mild
in flavor.
The red Beltlghelmer apple has fruit
ed here several years. While It has
valuable qualities for culinary and
market purposes. Its flesh Is rathei
coarse, and it would not be called a
good dessert fruit except by those whe
like a brisk subacid flavor. On account
of Its symmetrical form, large size and
handsome color no apple In the station
collection attracts more attention than
this at fairs and exhibitions. Under
good cultivation It Is a free grower and
a regular and abundant bearer. The
fruit is very large, and quite apt to
drop before it is well colored. This fault
is more serious with the Red Beltlg
helmer than with Wealthy, Alexandei
or Gravensteln, and probably will pre
vent its being planted extensively 1p
commercial orchards.

Feed for rig.
Cows and hogs go well together. Fol
lowing after the cattle and consuming
the Bktmmllk produces an animal well
adapted for breeding purposes. The
tendency of corn-fed hogs is toward a
fineness of bone and weakness of the
muscular system. Milk and clovei
counteract this bad effect. By using
the proper foods two litters a year can
be had from each sow. Wean the pigs
when six to eight weeks old, and feed
middlings or corn meal and skimmllk.
Many farmers do not think it is profit
able to raise two litters a year, but if
the pigs are fed milk in winter It la
good practice. Of course, a dry, warm
stable is necessary to get best results.
While milk is the best single food
for hogs, I prefer to use it with other
feed. Why favorable results are ob
tained I cannot say, unless it be that
ordinary hog feed is too concentrated,
and milk acting as a diluent increase
its value. I have always fed my milk
after it has clabbered, although other
good feeders use It sweet. In summer
it will curdle in thirty-eight to forty
hours. In winter add warm water or
place it near the stove. Clabbered milk
if fed alone and too liberally forms
lumps. This may be prevented by stir
ring thoroughly before feeding, or pour
ing from one vessel to another The
safest and moat profitable method is to
mix the milk with an equal quantity of
middlings or cornmeal. This will da
away with the danger from lumps. It
the pigs are not being crowded for fat
tening add some cut clover hay.
Hogs to be raised profitably must be
ready for butchering at eight or ten
months. If the pigs have a good pas
ture after being weaned, and are kept
in good condition by giving skimmllk
and mill feed, a weight of 250 to 30C
pounds can easily be obtained at the
above-mentioned age. With young anl
mala a bushel of corn will ordinarily
produce an increase of eight to twelve
pounds of pork. Even better result!
-will be obtained If skimmllk is fed at
the beginning of the fattening period,
and the meat will have a more delicate
flavor. Among the wealthier classea
there are many who are willing to pay
an extra cent a pound for pork pro
duced under the proper conditions and
put up in an attractive manner. It
pays to cater to this demand. A. Belle,
lor Dnhornlng.
The beBt chemical dehorner Is caustic
potash, to be had in uticks for a few
cents at any druggist's. When the calf
is a few days old clip off the hair over
the horn button, moWtsn one end of the
caustic (hold the othr end wrapped in
paper) and rub It on the button until
the skin Is very red and highly Inflam
ed. When the scab conns off, If the
least trace of the horn nut remaina in.
peat the application. Put the caustic
only on the nut or button, as it burns
intensely.

TEE " WILD HAN."
This has been a pretty good season
for wild men. Probably the Wlnsted,
Conn., specimen was the best known.
The North Berwick, Me., wild man
wasn't very wild. He now goes to the
post-office for his mall.
John Schmidt, of Bridgeton, was a
wild man last spring, but was put in
jail, and after three months liked it so
well that he cried and didn't want to
go back to his beechnuts and hollow
trees.
Another specimen was Dan Smith,
colored, caught reoently near Grosse
Teche, La. He escaped from slavery
thirty-five years ago and lived In the
woods, naked and without the power
of speech, all that time.
A glnsing digger In Caton, N. Y
played "wild man" so well that folks
invested him in thought and speech
with eight feet of stature, a dosen
knives and guns, and teeth like tomb
stones. Then he explained the joke.
