Pig Farming—A New Departure. llported for (ho Trlbuiio. The pig-party at Kirby Homestead was a practical idea. It was also a pleasant social occasion, w here friends from the city and country met. They came singly, in families and in crowds. All were met at the gate and made welcome by the host, Colonel F. I). Curtis, and escorted to the door, where they were received by the hostess. The lunch rooin was o|>en, where there was invited opportunity for all to refresli themselves. A tour of the grounds followed in compan ies, under the direction of neighbors, to the root lields, the stables, where the Jerseys and Ayrshires were quar tered, and to the piggery, and then into the orchard, where 11(8 pigs of different breeds and colors were feed ing on apples and mangels. The meaning of "pig party" was now re vealed, but better understood when the bell rung at 3 o'clock, and the guests all assembled under the grand old trees in front of the mansion and in the rooms, and the proprietor un folded his plan of a new departure in pig raising. He said, standing on the front piazza, where all could hear, that he had become satisfied that pigs can be raised at less cost in the East and put into the market thnn we have been in the habit of doing. This is necessary if we expect to compete with the West, where corn, the great staple provender for pics, can IK* raised so much cheaper than with us. The "pig party" was made to see the results of an experiment. It began practically last year, w hen a field of clover was seeded for the pig-pasture, and a crop of roots was gathered upon which to keep the pigs through the winter. The pigs were fed up to the time of the coming of the young on raw roots, and he never had stronger or better ones. As soon as the clover was large enough, they were all,old and young, turned into it. The old ones were fed nothing, but the little ones were taught to come into an inclosure where they were fed a small quantity of corn three times a day. At first two quarts were sufficient for a feed, and this amount was gradually increased as the pigs grew larger, until they re ceived a half bushel. This was all the food they hail, both old and young, until a patch of sweet corn, planted for the purpose, wns grown, when a portion was cut up and given to them morning and night. The sweet corn stalks were followed by Early Arnber sugarcane, which was similarly fed until the Ist of Oetobcr, when they were turned into the or chard and mnDgela, to help themselves as the guests had seen. When these are all consumed they will fie put into another field to eat the refuse roots, and the crop of turnips which arc now growing for them. This latter supply he expects will be ample food for them until cold weather, when they will be fed corn if necessary to tit them for slaughter. He has ex |>cnded thus far SIOO in extra food for the mothers Itefore turning them into the clover after the pigs were born, and for the young ones during the summer. He has already sold $75 worth of pigs, and the increase now on hand, 120 in all, have only cost for extra feed purchased, the sum of $25. He thinks that this number of pigs will not cost over three cents a pound when ready to kill. With him, and he thinks it a proper conclusion, the question of cost is of more account in raising pigs than to see how large they can be made or how fat. If a large pig or a very fat one costs as much as it is worth there will be no margin for profit. Under this system pigs will be healthy food, which he feels sure is not always the case when they are confined in pens to breathe the fumes of filth and always given heating and stimulating food. His pigs have plenty of fresh air, and all the benefit of being on the ground and eating food which must be healthful. Such meat must be more desirable. The over-fat pigs are not wanted by butchers, as people nowadays do not relish so much lard. The lighter ones arc suitable for bacon, and, having plenty of exercise, develop lean meat with the fat. He has more lied Hcrkshires than any other, because they possess, natural ly, more of this desirable quality— lean meat mingled with the fat—than any other breed. They are longer in the body and rapid growers. The windfalls and ripe apples are worth more for the pigs to eat than for any other use, as there is no labor attach ed to them. The item of labor is an important consideration, and as all these pigs are not allowed to help themselves, there is no expense in this connection. The apples make them grow fast, and the mangels, where they have ull they can ent, will fatten them. He tried this experi ment the year liefore, and found that pigs in a turnip field had gained fine condition. They did not gain HO rapidly nor become so fat as when led on corn, but they made an excel lent quality of pork. They might lie topped off on corn for two or three weeks if desired. But with all the mangels or sugar beets which they will eat it is not necessary to put them in condition for slaughter. This was novel talk for most of the farm ers, but the sleek-looking and plump pigs substantiated the argument and satisfied them that there is virtue in roots, and that the three cents a pound might be a reality after all; and so the "Pig Party" was not only a most enjoyable occasion, but full of practical thoughts and suggestions. Storing Vegetables. Krum tli* American <2ard*ti. To enjoy palatable and wholesome vegetables during the winter months, proper care and attention are just as essential in harvesting and storing as in cultivation. Hoots and vegetables, as they are often promiscuously thrown in heaps about the cellar, do soon lose their freshness and flavor. Most of our house cellars are too warm for the best preservation of vegetables, and it is therefore advisa ble to store only a limited quantity, for immediate use, in the house, while the main stock should be kept in a cool barn cellar or in an out-door pit. Such a (lit, for family use, is easily made by digging a trench about three or four feet wide ami of the same depth and as long as necessary, taking care to select a situation where water cannot stand. At the approach of winter the pit is filled up to the level of the ground with the roots to be wintered—beets, tur nips, carrots, etc. Narrow partitions of soil may be placed longitudinally between the different kinds, so that each may be taken out separately. This dividing of the pit into several sections has the additional advantage of making the bulk of each smaller. The roots are then covered with enough soil, say six inches, to protect them against the frosts of early win ter. When severe cold sets in, about the middle of December, more soil is thrown on, not less than two feet, over every part of the pit, sloping off towards the sides, and the surface firmly packed down with the back of a spade. With heavy soil this w ill In sufficient to turn off the rain and the snow water, but in sandy soil, it is better to add an additional protection i of straw, cornstalks or boards. Where a pit is not practicable and the entire crop has to Is: stored in the cellar, the roots intended for late keeping should be carefully selected. Only sound, solid roots keep well. These should Is- laid loosely in thin layers into bins or barrels and each layer covered with sand so that none of the roots are exposed to the light. The purer the air can be kept in the cellar, and the cooler, without freez ing, the better will the vegetables keep in it. Onions l>ear a considerable degree of cold without injury provided they are kept dry ami not handled while frozen. Packed in sawdust, chaff or cut straw, they may be kept all win ter in an out-house or barn. Squashes arc injured by the light est frosts, and should be kept in a warm, dry store-room, rather than in a cellar. The sweet potatoes we find in the markets arc kept in houses expressly built for the purpose. The necessary conditions for their keeping arc that the tubers are entirely dry before storing and that the temperature of the room floes not fall below CO de grees. We have kept them in good condition till spring in a kitchen closet, (tacked with sawdust, in a barrel. Common or "Irish potatoes" are not injured by a few degrees of cold, provided the cellar in which they are kept is dry. In very dry storage rooms, potatoes should lie covered with soil or sand, as directed for roots, to prevent them from shrivel ing and early sprouting. In ordin ary cellars they may be kept loose in barrels or bins. When the cellar floor is damp or wet at times, as is unfortunately too often the case in farm houses, the bins or barrels should be raised a few inches from the ground, so as to admit free cir culation of air. Truth About Oorn fodder. If corn is cut up early, and when the weather is very warm and contin ues so for any length of time, the fodder will be about as good as so many dried sticks. Theory—the sugar is turned to vinegar and the stalks and leaves begin to decay rapidly, and you see iu yonder stock a black and brittle mass. Corn cut after frosts, if cut very soon, will be much better than the above specimen, for what sweet and good is not froxen out does not sour and decompose, for the very reason that the weather is cool enough to preserve it as left by the frost. But the fodder that stock will lick up and grow fat on, Is fod der cut as close up to frosty or cool weather as possible, provided the leaves and stalks keep green,and the greener the better, if the grain is matured, and I believe it much bet ter than when the stock and corn is very green—with the understanding that no corn is to go with the fodder. Fall Ploughing. W. V. I IK. WII 111 I'M. t1.i.l farm**. My experience with fall plowing has been HO favorable heretofore that I am intending to do what l ean in that line this full. 1 would not advise full plowing on clay lands that wee HO flat that the water would stand on them during the winter, but on land underdrained, or with good natural drainage, I am convinced that fall plowing is of great advantage. I qlso think that we got rid of a good deal of weed seed on weedy land by turning it under deeply in the fall and then loosening the surface in the spring without turning it up from the bottom again, as the seed is so deep down that it does not feel the influ ence of the sun iu early spring, ami so if it grows at nil it is not until after our corn gets a start so as to bear the turning of the soil to it, so as to eas ily smother them. I would advise our readers who have stubble or clover soil for corn next year to try breaking a part this fall and then compare the results with an adjoining land plowed in the spring. It is of enough advantage to plow in the fall so that every farmer ought to settle the matter by careful experiment whether his land will produce as good or better corn when plowed in the fall. The weather is cool and it is I much easier on the team, and there is ! 'ess liability of hindrance by rains [ t'-an in the spring, and it eases the push of spring work greatly if half of the corn land can lie broken up in autumn. The longer I live on the farm the more value I place on jiu*h, and by that I do not mean getting up at four o'clock ami working till eight, but the beginning things early and being always on time, ami fall plowing comes under this bead. The farmer whose wheat land is plowed and roll ed by the middle of August, and w ho is done plowing for corn by the mid dle of April, is much more likely to put his crops in well and get heavy yields than the one a month later. Another advantage of fall plowing is that it destroys myriads of insects. The cliich bug, cut worm, squash bug, grub and a host of other noxious in sects go into winter quarters in the weeds and stubble, and either fire or fall plowing is necessary to dislodge them, and those who have made the matter a study say that fall plowing is as effectual as burning. At any rate there is enough to be gained by it so that every farmer should give it a trial. Chapped Hands. From Ihr Aetjfn AifrkulitiHif. The raw winds of late autumn often produce in the hands of those who are much exposed to them that roughness and cracking of the skin known as chapping. If nothing is done to (irerent, and the person is obliged to have his bands frequently wet and dried, the cracks will often get deep and Ire painful. Corn husk ing is frequently accompanied by sore hands from this cause. As both a precaution and cure for chapped hands we have used the following with benefit: Wash the hands, and the face also if it is inclined to chap, with Borax Water, and after wards rub with an ointment made by melting mutton-tallow (or suet), anil then gradually adding an equal quan tity of glycerine, stirring the two together until cool. For the hands, this mixture can be best applied at night, using it freely, and warming it in by the fire, after which an old pair of gloves can be put on to keep the liedclothcs from being soiled, and also make the skin of the hands softer. An excellent glycerine oint ment for chapited bands is made by melting, with a gentle heat, two ounces of Sweet Oil of Almonds, half an ounce of Spermacctti, anil one dram of White Wax. When melted, remove from the stove, and add gradually one ounce of Glycerine, and stir until the mixture is cold. The ointment can be scented with any perfume to suit the fancy. Keep in wide-necked bottles. Regularity in Feeding. From the National Livr Mock Journal All feeders who have studied the habits of the animals they feed, have discerned that they take special note of time. It Is a cardinal point to observe great regularity in time and quantity for feeding sheep. It has been observed that a careful and reg ular feeder will produce a better result with inferior food, given at equal times and in even quantity, than an irregular feeder as to time and quantity with the best quality of food. It is said "that the master's eye is worth two pair ot hands," and it may as truly be said that "the shepherd's eye, which takes note of the individual wants of his flock, is worth a large amount of carelessly given food. A CORRESPONDENT of The. American Cultivator laid stone drains half a century ago, and they are still open and doing good service. Boggy ground is productive of fine fruit in stead of malaria in one field, and In another two crops of hay have been cut annually (or eleven consecutive years without re-sceding or applica tion of any fertiliser. Petroleum on Wood and Flesh. One of the wisest and aim pleat economics in that of using crude pe troleum aa a means of preserving the coarser structures, implements, fence material, etc., which are unavoidably and la-gely exposed to sun, wind and rain In the out-door operations of a i farm. A late writer, who wanted a surface that will wholly hide and de fend the wood with an impervious coating, objects to petroleum because of its sinking into the wood ; or if the wood is rie'i with resin the petroleum temains on the surface without dry i ig, and in all cases gives it a dull, I dark, dead appearance. Hut as there j is very little wood already saturated with a water-repellant resin, and therefore needing no petroleum to do that preservative service, and as the stabling, roofs, sheds, barrows, lad ders, etc., on a farm are for use, not show, there being usually foliage, fruit and llowers in profusion to fill ard satisfy the eye, there seems no reason why the farmer who means to win should not adopt this means of saving. Fultz Wheat— Thin Beeding. Frfn the Rural * York*r. We may now report the results of our experiments with Fultz wheat. One plot, 33x33 feet, was sown in drills 12 inches apart —seeds dropped two inches apart. Hone superphos phate was sown at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre. It was cultivat ed once in November. The yield was 38 pounds, or at the rate of 25iJ i bushels io the acre. A second plot of the same size was sown in drills six inches apart, and no fertilizer of any kind was used. The yield was 37 J pounds, or at the rate of 25£ bushels |K*r acre. The unfertilized plot showed that it was inferior to the other, as is evident from the fact that, being sown only half the dis tal ee apart, the yield was nearly the same. Had the plot been fertilized, it is fair to suppose that the yield would have been greater. Thus our tests for three years in succession have shown that the cultivation of wheat and thin seeding do not pay. The straw of Fultz is not so heavy as that of Clawson, hut it stands up quite as well. OATS or barley are sometimes sow ed with wheat to protect it against the severity of winter, usually sown broadcast before drilling, hut 1 do not approve the practice. The protection afforded to the wheat by the grow th of oats or other foreign plants cannot compensate for the injury done to the wheat by the growth of such other plants. The wheat is robbed of its nourishment ami choked in growth, so that it is enfeebled and less able to -* resist winter Lous. A strong and healthy fall growth in a clean soil is the surest protection against win ter-killing. The soil that will not hold a healthy, strong growth of wheat against the frosts of winter cannot be made lietter by other crops choking and enfeebling its growth. W heat., like all other crops, will en dure hardships and resist enemies best when well supplied with plant -1 food. I hk interest in our gardens need not, and should not, cease with the first frosts and the harvesting of our crops. The clearings and improve ments, which can now be made, better and easier than at any other time,and the preparations for next season, ofTer to the ga-dercr as much enjoyment anl pleasure almost as the planting | of flower beds, and the cultivation of growing plants.— The American Gar den.
