EXCELLENT PIGGERY. Description n( n Ilulldlnit Tlint. Ae curiliiiK to ItH UeaiKiier, Will Suou l'ay for Itself. It has lor p been a we 11 established fact thai pigs farrowed in winter are much more profitable than those farrowed in summer. Many farmers claim that one winter pip is worth two summer ones. With many this could not be t rue, for the winter pip would usually be a dead one. It may be that for lack of proper preparation some of our readers are just now passing' through disastrous experiences in winter pig raising and that they would welcome some suggestions in regard to prep aration for another season. With proper preparation and care, pigs farrowed in midwinter can be raised with as little mortality as those farrowed in summer. In addition to proper feed, the great requisite is com fortable quarters for the sow and PIGGERY AND LOTS, youngsters. This can hardly be had without the aid of artificial heat and a building especially designed for tho purpose. A farmer of Ohio is preparing for the erection of a build ing after the plan shown by accom panying diagram. This diagram shows building and adjacent lots. The build ing is to be 12-sided or decagonal, and is to be divided into 12 apartments of equal size with space about 10 feet in diameter in center. Eleven of these apartments will be used as farrowing pens, and one will be Ittft for a passage way. The greatest diameter of build ing will be about 26 fct\ Floor will be of cement and will be ntihde fb slope gradually from center to circumfer ence. Each pen will contain a floor apace of about 3S square feet and will be provided with fenders, which will consist of boards so arranged as to project six inches from walls and will be placed six or seven inches from floor. This latter idea is well known and is recognized as being a great aid in keeping sow from crushing her pigs. The youngsters whicTT would otherwise be pressed against the wall find protection under this projecting shelf. Ihe inside ends of pens will be made of wire so as to not resist the heat from a common stove, which will be placed in center of building. A large skylight placed in south side of roof will admit an abundance of light. 'lhe outer series of spaces repre sent small lots, one for each pen. These are not large, but large enough for the purpose. They are one rod at outer end. The whole will occupy about one-third of an acre and will be built for about SIOO. In some localities it would cost more, but with careful man agement we believe it can be built al most anywhere for §l5O. It can be readily seen that such a building will soon pay for itself. Eor the purpose designed we have never seen anything to equal it.—ll. I£. Tweed, in' Ohio Farmer. THE SUPPLY OITHOGS. It I* Somewhat It.-lovr Demand at I*re»ent mid I'roHjiectH for the Future Are l*romining. The man who raises plenty of corn and then raises plenty of hogs to con sume it, is putting his product where it will do the most good, says Drov ers' Journal. Hogs are relatively high now and according to the best information obtainable the supply in the country is somewhat below the normal at the present time. How ever, the best posted men on the hog situation have been mistaken on fore casts of this kind and one is bound to admit that the country is large and that it is impossible to get accurate statistics on tlie growing crop. There are many who believe that the light weight is an indication that the later' supply will be short, baling their judgment on the theory that no h»nvv lu)~s rrc P v n'lnble, if til!'}' were t "ae pix-inluiU thai the}' u.c ♦Hstttftlanding would force them in. Without question the marketing of so many young hogs now means less to come later on, whether the shortage will be serious or not remains to be seen. So far this winter the eastern supply has been quite large, at least large enough to keep shipments down to a comparatively low figure. It is generally believed that this supply has been pretty well marketed and so the coast is clearer for a better demand from this source later on. Perhaps the high price of corn has discouraged many farmers from feeding as many hogs as usual, but even with corn at present prices there could be no bet ter investment than converting it into pork. Those who have been shearing by hand should study up the economy of machine shearing. One cent for shear ing a sheep is a low price, but it is pos sible with a shearing machine. —Amer- ican Sheep lireeder. All young birds like young and ten der graiiß.

It lm a Hard .lob, Hut Prrirvrraiicl Bud Uooil Common Seimc Ac couifliali Wonder*, If you have a piece of l.artl lanil to break, which is so baked as to conio up in clods, we would suggest that you run over it with a .disk or cutaway harrow ahead of plows, and break with very small scooters, says a southern farmer. Do not try 10 turn such land. If you still have clods do not wait for them to harden, but run a heavy roller or drag over and follow with some pulverizing harrow the same day. An hour or so will do this for each day's plowing-. Thus you will pulver ize most of them quite easily. Run roller ahead of harrow so as to crush as many as possible, and fasten the others so that they cannot dodge the harrows. It will pay to take time to do this, your crop can be cultivated so much cheaper afterwards; and the yield will be so much greater. Every time you go over with harrow and crushers you will increase the yield of the crop. We once selected one acre in a 20-aere field, average spot, and plowed and harrowed this acre 14 times right along before we quit. We then planted and cultivated this acre just as we did the rest of the field, running the rows right along through it. The yield was much more than double any other acre. This has con tinued to be true for five years, in all kinds of crops. All through the grow ing season this acre can be distin guished as far as you can see the field. All crops grow off quicker and yield heavier. "Culture is manure" is true. But after all the old proverbs "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" holds good here also, if the hard pan is broken up and the water permitted togo on down, so as not to saturate the soil and remain in it too long, the baking will be prevented. If the baking or running together is prevented the clods w ill not form. This is as true of bottom land as of upland. Stop the soaking and you will prevent the clodding. One other point is worth considering here. Do not burn any vegetable matter in your farm. Plow it into the soil. This will enrich the soil and prevent the baking and clod ding. BROILERS FOR MARKET. TILT* I* n II II *i UCNN That Pnj* Qult« Well, Iff Conducted on Contmou- SeiiMC Principle*. Some one asked, a short time ago, about rearing broilers for market. First, the breed. It seems from the various reports of broiler raisers, that Plymouth Rocks are almost the ideal breed for the purpose, the only objection to the Barred is the dark pin feathers, which objection does not hold good with the White Rocks. White Wyandottes are hard to beat, also. The idea is to get a breed that will stand forcing and will present a nice appearance dressed at the age you should market for broilers. The first day they are fed sand, after that they should be fed every two hours during the day. The first week they should be fed rolled oats, millet seed and cracked corn, sweet milk, sand and powdered charcoal; the next week add a mash, and use a greater proportion of cracked corn; the third week and on until mar keted, for breakfast feed cracked corn, then chopped raw potatoes. A meat mill is the thing for this, then chopped cabbage, next mash, and last a full feed of cracked corn. Before this last meal no more is given than will be eaten up quickly; if from any cause they fail to be hungry, miss a meal or two. This will generally bring them around all right. The last few feeds before marketing stir cotton seed meal and treacle (mo lasses) in the mashes; this is to give thern the rich yellow color desired. At the end of the eighth week the birds should average almost, if not quite, two pounds each. Continuing this course, by 15 weeks they should make ay 2 pound roasters. It is im possible to get such results from mongrel stock, but of course, should you be compelled to use them, such feeding is bound to result in quick growth.—Emma Clearwaters, in Ohio Farmer.

BETTER THAN "ABOUT RIGHT.** Lrnon Taught Tliomaa King, (be Lrrlurrr, t>j a Lank Yankeo of Shv Kngland. Thomas Star King 1 , the famous preacher and lecturer, was settled in California at the outbreak of the civil asar, and to his iulluence is ascribed the change of public opinion in that stilte from lukewarmness to ward the northern cause to devoted loyalty. The Overland Monthly has lately published an article on this famous man from whk\h we take an anecdote told about Ms. Kiug by James T. Fields: Mr. King-, with a friend, was mak ing a trip through the White moun tains. They were traveling by that most delightful of conveyances—a country waggon. When they stopped a few minutes at the door of a New Hampshire tavern, Mr. King's com panion went into replenish their provision basket, and he remained in the vehicle. One of the tall, lank, slab-sided Yankees that are always hanging round a New England inn door slouched up to the team and began altering the harness, slacking a strap hereand lighteninga buckie there, all unasked, until Mr. King got impa tient at the length of the operation, and said, rather sharply: "You needn't trouble yourself any more. I think the harness is about right." The Yankee finished his work and drawled out: "Guess right's better'n abeaout right." There was no reply to this. Mr. King's friend returned, and he drove off, confessing to a lesson which he needed to learn less than most of his countrymen: "Right" is better than "about right."
