a list of forty-four poultry shows

Do not forget the quarterly meet
ing of tfie county agricultural so
ciety, which will, as usual, tie held in
the Court House next Monday even
ing. A paper on the grasshopjier
question is to be read, and other
matters of general interest to the
farming community will be discussed.
It is your meeting, farmers; turn out
and make it a good one—such as Un
importance of the cause demands.
Do not neglect to push stock of nil
kinds ; but particularly the young
things, now. There can lie no better
preparation for next summer's growth
than to have the young stock go into
this end of the winter in good, thrifty
condition. Winter will be hard
enough on them at any rate, and a
good covering of fat will help them
withstand its rigors amazingly. You
can put it on now a great deal cheap
cr than you can a month or two after
this.
W k have noticed some agricultu- ;
ral journals advocating the sowing of j
oats witli winter wheat, giving for rea
sons that the growth of the oats
would serve as a tojHlrussing for the
wheat, after it had licen killed by tin
winter, and that in the meantime it
would check winter-killing by hold
ing the snow from blowing away, and
by preventing the sun from thawing
tiio frozen ground. So far as the top
dressing is concerned, there may be
some plausibility in the theory, but
we hardly think the "game worth the
jKiwder." As to the leaves affording a
protection from winter-killing, land
adapted to wheat, and in projier con- !
dition to insure a good crop, will
force the wheat itself to a sufficient
growth for the purpose.

Among Our Contemporaries.
We have noticed with great pleas
ure that for some time back nearly
all the prominent publications of
the day, including even the technical
| scientific journals, and the great liter
■ ary magazines, have taken pains to
devote more and more of their at
tention and space to such matter us
pertains to agriculture and is of
special interest to the tillers of the
| soil. We have once or twice refer
red to this matter in these columns,
I as an evidence of the rapidity with
which "fanning" is growing in the
appreciation of all classes (if people;
and we venture to predict that the
time is not far distant when no peri
odical publication, dependent upon
the general public for its patronage,
which ignores the "industry which
is the foundation of all other indus
tries" will stand a chance forc'xist
ence. Kvcn now, Scrihutr* Monthly,
which is recognized as one of Un
loading literary magazines of the
world, and which always aims to Is
"ahead," has taken the cue, and has
so much of distinctively agricultural
matter in its November issue as to
warrant the publishers in advertising
it as an "agricultural number." Of
the general character of lyrihwr'* as
a literary publication it is not our
province here to speak, excepting
to say that it confessedly stands on
the top rung of the ladder, and that
whatever it undertakes to do is well
done. The agricultural features of
the November issue are no exception
to this rule, as witness the following
list of half a dozen pajs-rs of the
highest interest to farmers, and oth
ers interested in rural life: "The Ag
ricultural Distress in (ircat Britain,"
by P. T. (Juinn ; "Farming in Kan
sas," by Henry King ; "Success with
Small Fruits," by K. P. Hoc; "Hare
I,awn-Trees," by Samuel Parsons, Jr.;
"The Mississippi Jetties," and their
elfect on the prices of agricultural
products, and "How Animals get
Home," by Krncst Ingersoll. Then
are hundreds of farmers in Centre
county who have sons and daughters
growing up in the comparative isola
tion ol farm life, and who ought to take
fjcribnert for them as a connecting
link with the "culture and progress"
of the world, while at the same time
its agricultural matter would prove of
the greatest interest to the farmers
themselves. Price, $4.00 a year ; .tfi
cents a number. .Subscriptions
should lM'gin with theft Novcin'x-r
number. Buy it of you rook-seller
or send the subscription price to the

That "old reliable," the Country
CJent/rnutn, presents its
for I MHO this week, and it gives us
pleasure to say a good word for it.
Kstablished in IMB I, it has almost
rounded its first half century, and
has well-earned its claim to Is: "the
(•est of agricultural weeklies." When
4t* publishers assert that "it is un
surpassed, if not unequalled for the
nmount and variety of the practical
i information it contains, and for the
ability nnd extent of its correspon
dence—in the three chief directions
of farm crops and processes, horticul
ture and fruit-growing, live stock nnd
dairying," we have only toexpressour 1
hearty concurrence. Dignified and
courteous in its intercourse with its
contemjKiraries ; always reliable in its
information ; old enough to Ire firmly
entrenched in the affections of its
friends, and young enough to be in
the full vigor and strength of mature
manhood, the pajier could have no
Itelter name than Country Gentleman.

Let the Boys Care for the Poultry.
In this way it may serve the
double purpose of furnishing a good
ly share of the income of the farm
and contribute largely to the whole
some training of the boy in those
habits of care and industry which
may make all the difference, in his
mature years, ls-tween a man among
men, and a loafer. The N. Y. ll>r
nld has this paragraph on the sub
ject, and the comment* added below,
are from the |>en of a correspondent
of the I'l/ullry Yard: "Let one of
the children assume the care of the
poultry yard, if you have not time to
make it a feature of your farming.
Kncouragc him by selling him fowls
at a fair price, allowing him to pay
for them in eggs, which you buy at
the regular price, or which are sold
and placed to his account. (>et him
to keep hisown account ; let him pay
for the feed purchased also by sale
of eggs and chickens. The boy will
l- happier for the ex|>crimeiit, and
gain habits of industry that will be
valuable to him all bis life."

much force to lite farm, as to the
"workshop, counting-room, kitchen

How to Feed Pig* Profitably.
Al> 11!•* lit ihfl Ouutilf) Ufiiil"n<kii.
My object in not ho much to defend
pork an an article of diet, a* l<> make
Home timely *uggcstions about its
economical manufacture. There i
no animal—an the Shaker* found by
trying to go without it—that will eat
up the refuse of a farm establishment
and convert it into valuable food, as
a pig doe*. The slop* of dish-water,
the fragments of till- table, the skim
med milk, whey and other refuse of
the dairy, the unmerchantable tipple*
and other fruit*, the stale uu-at* and
vegetable*, and even the dead animal*
of tin- farm find a market in the pig
pen, *o that he who undel lake* to run
a farm without the aid of porker*,
will liud himself minus one great
source of income. There i* nothing
that pushes a pig along faster than
skimmed milk, By being akimmcd,
milk lose* very little of it* virtue a*
food for young animal*. The fat
which i* taken oil' i* not essential to
the development of bone* and mus
cle*.
An ex|Hsrienced breeder once said
that skimmed milk is worth iw iceut*
[s r quart to feed to calve* and pig-.
This was in the day* when |>ork com
manded a higher price than nt pres
ent, but it is one of the l*-*t use* of
skimmed milk at tjie price* which
milk and jKirk now bring. If a farmer
ha* an orchard which can IN- used a*
a pig pasture, the grass, grub* and
windfall* which the pig* will pick up,
aided by a little skimmed milk, will
keep tbern growing and thriving till
it i* tune to shut them up and put the
fat on their healthy and well-develop
ed carcasses. The cost of raising
pigs in this manner i* trifling in com
parison with feeding them with meal
in a |ien. Meal is poor feed for
young stock of any kind. It make*
them look plump and sleek, but it*
tendency is to develop fat rather than
bones and muscle*. In the latter
part of their orchard life a little meal
may IK- add IS I to their milk ; but if
anything is required during the sum
mer, in addition to their grass and
milk, it i* bran rather than meal.
The pig i more of a graminivorous
animal than is commonly RUpposcd,
and with a good range of pasture
and plenty of water lie will live; but
the object is not simply life but rapid
growth, and milk, grass and apple*
w ill stimulate this, and, if these are
not sufficient, wheat or rye bran will
supply the deficiency. The pig is
also carnivorous, and hi* desire for
flesh is partly gratified by the worms
and grulm which lie finds in the
ground, and in the windfall apple*.
The indirect bcm-tU which he thus
renders to an orchard is no slight
recommendation ol this mode of
rearing pigs. Hound, fair fruit may
i IN- ox|M-t-U-d in an orchard used as a
pig pasture.
While the pig is getting his growth
he should IHI allowed the little pieces
of bone* which are left from the table.
The IH-SI developed litter of pigs I
ever saw were fed by a boarding
house keeper almost exclusively
from tnc refuse of his table. It was
a conglomerate of everything, milk,
IMIIICS, meat and vegetables of all
sorts, and the pigs showed that they
were equal to their opportunity, and
that they were omnivorous, could eat
everything and thrive an their mixed,
rich ration*. If growing pig* show
any signs Of being stunted, it is well
to gixe them a slaughter-house ration
occasionally—some blood, l>one* or
other offal, which can alway* be ob
tained for a trifle.
Fork producers should ever re
member that while pork is pre-emi
nently the diet for cold weather, it is
most economically manufactured in
summer and early autumn. Corn
fed Ur hogs in Octolrcr and Novcm
ber will produce ten to twenty per
cent, more pork than in December
and January, a* in these latter
months much carbon I* consumed in
keeping up animal heat. The two
great ends of food art*, building up
the tissues of the body and furnish
ing heat. Any surplus of carbon la
dr-jiosilcd in the form of fat, thus
making a reservoir of fuel which
nißy be drawn ujon in eaae of scar
city in the regular supply, llcnee
tiic economy in keeping pigs, and
indeed all animals, warm and com
fortable in cold weather. It i* a
great saving of food. *''o com|icl
bog* to lie out-door and wallow in
mud is as wasteful a* it is cruel.
W hen shut up for f'ullcuing, tliey
should b.- provided with a warm l*-d
--room and a clean *lruw l*-d. They
should also have a water-closet, and
they will invariably use it. Tlie
common notion that a hog i* a dirty
animal is a mistake. In warm weath
er he wallows in the mire to keep
himself cool, but he loves cleanli
ness, and, if permitted, will keep
himself neat. No animal pays liet-
U-r for tidy, comfortable quarters
than docs the hog. While growing,
some exercise does him good ; but
when being fattened, he should have
nothing to do but to eat and sleep,
and hi* dining room and bed-room
should be so convenient that little ef
fort need IN: made to go from one to
the other,
'I lie times of feeding should also
be regular. Some careless feeders
throw in a few ear* of corn to their

I>iH every time they go by their
jMrUM. 'I his disturbs. then nap, k cps
them uneasy, anil wastes much vital
force. \\ hen a hog in once accus
tomed to getting hi* break fan t at hi*
o'clock, liia dinner at twelve, and hia
supper at aix, he will snooze and
snore all the intermediate time, and
awake up at the usual hour of meal a
refreshed with a good appetite, but if
fed haphazard, lie ia kept constantly
on the i/ui vtve.
' orn ia emphatically the fattening
food of boga, but if a few applea or
roots arc occasionally thrown to
them, they serve aa a variety, and
conduce to health and appetite. The
change of diet from the orchard to
tlie pen should be gradual. Too
much rneul, all of a sudden, may pro
duee disease, \ few apples, and an
occasional ration of lioiled pumkiria
or beets will counteract the feverish
tendency which a aurieit of meal is
wont to induce. The pro*|iect ia
that |ork will appreciate in value
this year, and pay for increased pains
in its manufacture.
