Hints on Fattening Forlr.
It is t-inl with many formers to put this ofl'
tmti! co'J wcatl.tr f in. The pigs run in
wood*, the road, ortiie pasture, picking up a
scanty living, and come to the pens Lau and
hungry, when they ought to be fattened. In
our practice we keep pigs in the sty the year
round. TTe find them quite too valuable co
laborers in the manufacture of manure tc allow
them to waste "their sweetness upon the
desert air." A pig is worth ten dollars a year
for this purpose alone, if you will give him the
material to work with and plenty of food.—
Fut possibly it may pay for a little time in
the Summer, to keep the sow and pigs in a
good clover pasture where trrass ismore plenty
than corn upon the farm. ]f this bo done, all
Cf tla.m intended for the butcher by Christmas
should be shut up immediately, and be fed
with all they can eat. A squealing pig is
worse for the owner's pocket than for bis ears.
It is much easier to make pork in September
and October than in December and January.
No extra amount of food is wasted in keeping
up the animal heat. It all goes to fat and
muscle. Variety of food is a matter of much
importance in fattening swine. At season
a greater variety is easily commanded. The
garden, if it is a good one,yields a great many
refuse articles, squashes, beets, carrots, apples,
melons, tomatoes, and corn, which will linda
good market in the sty One of the brst
articles of food for them is sweet corn, cut up
by the roots and fed whole. They are very
fond of it, and it makes them thrive very fast.
A half acre near the sty may be profitably
cultivated every year expressly for this purpose.
Id this be not on hand, corn from the field may
be fed in the same way once a day. But swine
need something more than green stuff however
nutritions, to make them fatten rapidly.
The eoyking food is much more economical
than is generally supposed, especially upon the
farm, where fuel costs little but the labor of
preparing if. We think about one third of the
value of all the grains usually fed to swine, is
saved by cocking. A boiler or box for steam
ing is indispensable in every well arranged
swil! house. In this the meal may lie cooked
aud thoroughly mixed with the roots and other
vegetables. The mr d absorbs large quantities
of water, is more highly relished by the pigs,
and is more perfectly digistcd. Numerous ex
periments fully prove the economy of cooking
the food under ordinary circumstances. Some
claim that they can make ] oik for loss than
three cents a pound in this way. A dairy
farmer of this State made one year 4,2*27
pounds of pork. The feed with which he did
it, was 4,127 pounds of corn and oat meal at
$1,50 a hundred. 470 pounds of shorts at 75
cents, 147 bushels of potatoes at 1(3 cents, all
of which were cooked, and half an acre of
green peas worth -ay £ls ; making the total
cost of feed $103,95, or not quite two and a
half cents per pound for the pork. The value
of the whey and sour milk was not reckoned -
This and the labor of feeliug, with the fuel for
cooking, are very properly balanced against
the manure they made. There can be- no doubt
that cooking the foo ! pays well.
A dry, warm place for sleeping is another
important item in keeping swine thrifty. They
should have a g< od sty with roof and board
floor, and plenty of .-tin v so that they cap
keep th-m "Ives clean. With thes. condition*
pork car, be made vti v f -t, and the sty will
be found to j ay as well as tiny part of the farm
arrangements. CONNECTICUT.
How TO FATTEN CHICKT vs.—lt is hopeless
to attempt to fa e i : while they are
at liberty. Tb ymul be j ot in a proper coop;
aud this like most otfer poultry appurtenances
need no' bo expensive. To fatten twelve
fowls, a coop in:,st 1 e three feet long,eighteen
inches high, and eighteen inches de< p, made
entirely of bars. Mo part of it solid—neither
top, side bottom. Discretion must be used ac
cording to the sizes of the chickens, put up.—
They do not want room ; indeed, the closer
they are the bet'er.providi d they can all stand
up at the same time. Care must be taken to
pu. up such as we have heen accustomed to be
together, or they will fight. If one is quarrel
some, it is better to remove itator.ee ; as like
other bad examples, it soon finds imitators. A
tlis ased chicken should r.ot be put up.
The food should be ground oats, and may
either be put on a troguli or on a flat board
running along the front of the coop. It may be
mixed with water or milk ; the latter is better.
It should be well slaked, forming a pulp as
loose as can be, provided it does not run off
the board. They must be well fed three or
four times a day—the first time as soon after
daybreak as possible or convenient, and then
at intervals of four hours. Each meal should
be as much and no more than they can eat up
clean. When they have done feeding, the
board should bo wiped, and some gravel may
be spread. It causes them them to feed and
thrive.
After a fortnight of this treatment,yon will
have gooaf fat lowls. If, however, there are
but four to six to be fattened, they must not
have so much room as though there were
twelve. Nothing is easier than to allow them
the proper space ; it is only necessary to have
two or three pieces of wood to pass between
the bars, and form a partition. This may also
serve when fowls are put up at different
degrees of fatness. This requires attention,or
fowls will not keep fat and healthy. As soon
as the fewl is sufficiently fattened it ninst be
killed, otherwise it will still get fat, hnt it will
lose flesh. If fowls are intended for the market
of course they are or may be al' fattened at
once ; but if for home consumption, it is better
to put them up at such intervals as will suit
the time when they are required for the table.
When the time arrives for killing, whether
they are meant for market or otherwise, they
should be fasted, without food or water, for
twelve or fifteen hours. This enables them to
be kept some time after being killed, even in
Lot weather.— London Cottage Gardener.
PROPER VESSELS FOR BOILING SAP. —Sap
may be kept of a light good color when boiled
in iron vessels, if the kettles are cleaned fre
quently, aud no leaves or dirt are allowed in
the liqnid. A large shallow pan of galvaniz
-1 iron is best. Brass or cepper vessels we do
.ot like for boiling anything to be taken into
the stomach. Sap, cider, and indeed almost
all fruits and vegetables, contain more or less
of vegetable acids, which form with the copper
and iron poisonous compounds.

THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish- !
ed as the most rtliable Machine in the market for
family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
most respectable families in the Union.
This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock '
Stitch,"' the only one made by machinery that meets all !
the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied
twice, so that every one is securely fastened and wholly j
independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that j
if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew- [
ing must hold good while the fabric will wear. The ;
machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim
plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor
does it require adjustment more than the mere change of
thread and needles to adopt it to the character ot the
work to be sewed—coarse or fine as the case may be. It
will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without i
changing cither needles or thread equally well, and re
turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction.
No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
much.
•A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an
swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse
and tine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPKK. The stitch is beautiful,
trong. and elastic, and will not rip in ire a r or in acci
dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
money refunded
