FAIR PROFIT IN PORK. II«K» Will Comniauil n Ronnoiinhly IliKh I'riee for Some l.TTtle Time to Come. Prices in the hog market have been what may be called "firm" for a good many months. That they are to re ma'n so is indicated to some extent by the anxiety shown by the packers who are doing all possible to stimulate hog raising. The recent high prices have resulted in the marketing of a good many light hogs. In some of the Chicago markets a good many light pork loins are being sold, some of the loins weighing about five pounds each, less than half the usual. The pig-i were evidently marketed because th< ir owners feared a drop in prices, but this very process is most likely to prevent a drop in prices by decreasing the supply of mature liogs. We do not mean to say that the prices are to stay at the present point. That would be absurd. The market must and will change in response to the multitudious influences that are always affecting it. Hut the prices of hogs will for a long time at least remain high enough to permit of the wise feeder and judicious marketer making a profit on his invest ment as w ell as to get pay for his work. There are few farmers that raise too many hogs. It is more usual for him not to raise as many hogs as would yield him a profit. The men that have been raising hogs for years and have kept at it through bad times and good are now making money out of their te nacity. There is money in pork, but the farmer that goes into hog raising in good times and out of hog raising in bad times is likely to miss it. —Farm- ers' Review. HINTS FOR THE STABLE. Never use musty or dirty litter. Whitewash the stable once or twice a year; use land plaster in the manure gutters daily. Use no dry, dusty feed just previous to milking; if fodder is dusty, sprinkle it before it is fed. Clean and thoroughly air the stable before milking; in hot weather sprinkle the floor. Stables should be well ventilated, lighted and drained; should have tight floors and walls and be plainly con structed. Keep dairy cattle in a room or build ing by themselves. It is preferable to have no cellar below and no storage loft above. Every trial shows better returns when wheat is mixed with some other grain than when fed alone, although if 7>rices permit it wheat may profitably form four-fifths of a grain ration. Mix ing with other grainh overcomes the tendency to form a pasty mess-.—Farm ers' Review. How to Have Strong Colt*.

Keep the Sheep I u<l int u rlteil. so calves, hogs, colts or other stock ould be allowed to run with the jeep flock, or in any way annoy or scare them, when in their lot a,t night, or even anywhere, says the New York Farmer.

Cftnwoil l>y 11 rliiK I nllli- In Stall* l'ielilx Lute In Full or Kiirl/ in Winter, This term is applied ton disease oc casioned by pastwring cattle in stalk lie Ids late in fall or early winter. An outbreak, if one should occur, usually takes place in from two to fourteen days after the animals are turned upon the stalks. The great majority of I cases occur between the fifth and eighth days. It is also observed that ! all animals affected die within two or 1 three days of each other. There is | nothing in the appearance of the fod der to indicate that it may cause trouble. Cattle may graze and do well 1 on one field, and from ten to fifty per cent, be lost on another separa led only by a fence. It makes no difference whether thecattle are allowed to graze j for only a few hours or left in all day. j After one outbreak has occurred a see- 1 ond rarely follows. The disease has 1 never been reported from feeding cut fodder, even when taken from the same field as that in which disease has occurred from grazing. The cause lias never been determined, but it is most j often observed after a dry season. The general symptoms are that the j animal appears dull, persists in stand in? in one place, or if he moves it is j with a noticeably jerky gait. There is marked prostration; the animal will ! fall on the knees, and may require sev eral attempt. l * to rise. Some act as if cra?;y, but the majority are stupid. There is more or less frothing at the mouth, and almost constant swinging of the head from side to side whether in the standing posit ion or lyingdown. < The movements are indurative of pain. The course is of very short duration, from two to thirty hours, the majority j living less than six hours. Too often the history is that the cattle were all right in the evening, and from one to j eight found dead in the morning. As ! Ihe cause is not known, and a success ful treatment has not been discovered, the prevention cannot be prescribed except by using cut fodder. In a num ber of outbreaks of supposed black leg. Dr. ('rain - , assistant state veteri- '• narian of Indiana, has found this to be present instead. The disease is not contagious and cannot be spread from one to another. The occurrence of a few cases in a community should not frighten others to discard the use of the stalk field for feeding.—Agricul tural Kpit omist.

It is also covenient to water cattle with in winter. Provided the mangers are composed of nothing more complicattd than the bare floor, as I have seen in many barns, the trough, filled with water, can be rolled 111 front of the cows, and from one cow to another. Where running water is j available, it can be let run into the i tub and speedily rolled to the animals. With wheels made of hard wood, the device will last for years, and, aside from watering the stock, can be used for a variety of other purposes about the barn, saving labor and adding to the profit.—Fred. 0. Sibley, in Ohio Farmer. Host for I.ame lIorHCM. An error which is frequently com mitted is the turning out of lame horses to pasture. He is obliged to exercise as he picks his living', said l)r. W. ( . Fair, before the American Vet erinary Medical association. Another mistake is the exercising of trotting and running horses on race tracks, thus preventing them from making sat isfactory progress toward recovery. liv exercising a lame horse we retard his recovery, and frequently produce atrophy of the healthy muscles in the same limb. If hard pulling or fast driving causes lameness, why not re move the cause and give him absolute ••est? That, is the very reason why so many track horses never fully recover. They are not allowed to rtst after meeting with an injury. True, exer cise will develop muscles, tendons and ligaments, provided the animal be not lame and weak in any one quarter. Tlit* EaKicNt to Advance, There is one point in favor of the man who feeds sheep and lambs this winter his stock is cheap to start with. It is hard to advance the price of cattle and hogs when they sell around $0 per hundred weight, much harder than to put a dollar per hun dred weight onto the price of stock that starts at $3.50 per hundred weight. The prospects are that fat sheep and lambs will show more ad vance per hundred weight than cattle or hogs. Hut whether they will make more money is a question. Fat sheep are not much above the price of feed ers, whereas fat cattle are consider ably above the price of feeders.—Na- j tional Stockman. v Allow no strong smelling material ' in the .'.table for any length of time.
