Shelter the Piga.
K\| riu ents made by Professor K
M .She I lon of ;ift- Kansas State Ag
ricultural College, show that it pays
to protect pigs. Ten animal*, as near
alike as possible, wrere kept during
the int twr.. winters in separate |HIIS,
five in the basement of a barn and
five in .the yard, without covering
save straw for Is* a. They were fed
with Indian corn twice a day, each

amount capable of making EC pounds
of pork was used in keeping the pigs

of corn for the whole increase. The
unsheltered pig required 570 pounds
of corn for 100 pounds of pork. This
shows a saving of SO pounds of corn,
about l£ bushels, in favor of each
sheltered pig ; but if the pigs arc as
! healthy in one case as in the other,
and the gain is only in the saving of;
corn it will hardly amount to the in-1

i It is extremely important in feed- I
ing pigs that their meals should be !
given at regular times. The pigs will

treat theirs yi t there ate many lessons

which they handle their horses that it

writer IU an exchange who evidently
understand* their methods, say a: The
Arabians never la-at their horses;
they never cut their tails ; they treat
lliem gently : they *|>eak tolarmand
seem to hold a discourse; they use,
them as friends ; they never attempt
to incri a*c lheir*M|eed hy the whip,
or spur them but in cases of great
necessity. They never fix them to a
stake in the fields, but sudor them to ,
pasture at large around their lishita
tion* ; and they come running at the
moment that they hear the sound of
their master's voice. In consequence
of such treatment these animal* be
come docile ami tractable in the high

little boys and girls are often siin

that market gardeners generally use

cropping, the soil would in a few uar*
