gtgriruUufai Hearing and Fattening Hogs. BT BATES HEXIIY, SCHI'VLKILL CO., PA. The liog is well known all over the world, and is confined to no part in particular. It belongs to the same class of animals as the elephant and rhinoceros, the thin-skinned, or Pachyderuiata. The utility of the hog is in a great meas ure owing to its very remarkable fecundity, re-producing at one year old, and hearing from eight to ten young at a time (some times even more), and that twice a year. Some man-of-figures has estimated the pro duct of a single sow, with only six young at a time, in ten generations, to he about 6,500,000. The hog was the animal which the An cients sacrificed to the goddess ol the har vest, Geres. It has been estimated that there are raised, in the United States, yearly, about forty million of hogs, which, at $7 per head, amount to the immense sum ol two hundred and eiglitv millions of dollars ; it then, the hog could be so improved as to raise his value one dollar a head, an im mense amount of money would accrue to the farmer. As you say in your prospec tus that you wish a farmer's experience with raising the hog, killing, curing, etc., in preference to his acquired knowledge of the brute, I will be candid enough to ac- i knowledge that I do not know the breed of, my own swine. They are only of moderate length, with broad, square shoulders, and I hams, short legs, and great depth, medium-, sized heads and straight snouts. Hardly a day passes that we do not hear j the remark, "as dirty as a hog." This 1 \ consider, a villificatiou of the animal which j Fiitnklin's colored servant said was the i "only gentleman in England," from the iact j that he was the only animal that did not work in that country ; I believe that the filthy habits of tiie hog are in a very great measure owing to his domestication, lor in all this .State tie is cribbed up in a small | pen, and is fed upon the offal of everything j —upon the most disgusting loud—and is considered as much an instrument lor con verting filth into compost, as a source oi wholesome and palatable food. He has the propensity ol wallowing in the mire com mon to all animals of his order, but gen erally for the purpose of ridding himself of vermin, ami of protecting his thinly covered skin from the attacks of insects. In this respect the hog is no more dirty than the elephant or the hippopotamus. No animal displays the changes arising from domesti cation more tnan the hog, which may be observed by contrasting the long-legged, wild and savage boar, with the short shanked, docile, fat and plump Pennsylva nia hog, which with difficulty walks rapidly across the confines of his narrow pen. BREEDING AND REARING. In selecting my breeding hogs, 1 always pick out the best shaped, most thriving boar pi£ to keep over for a breeder. For a sow 1 select a healthy shoat, well shaped, but thin and lank, in preference to a fat sleek one ; my reasons for this are, that j the lean sow will produce more pi'gs, and 1 raise them better, than one in high order — j the sleek one converts all her food into fat - and flesh for her own sides and back, while in the lean one it is converted into food for the young. This rule is applicable to all animals. A cow which shows every rib when in milk, will bring forth larger and hotter calves, and give more and better milk, than the one which always looks fat enough for the slaughter. My experience fully sustains my theory. My mode of raising hogs which are intended to be kept over, is to have them pigged about the lat ter part of August or first of September, j and after allowing them to run with the j sow from four to six weeks, confine them | in a separate pen. When first taken lroni j the sow they should be fed from six to j eight times a day, or else they will fall oil in flesh, and it will take them weeks to re cruit. Their usual allowance, at first, should be about a pint of milk to each pig, and in order to facilitate the properly at tending to them, the milk barrel should be j kept standing very near the pen, from which j it can be dipped with a pail with very lit-; tie trouble, being replenished night and | morning with fresh skimmed milk from the j dairy. The quantity for each pig should j be gradually increased each day according j to tin growth of the pigs, until they have ( attained to the age of three or four months, 1 when a regular allowance should be made j them ; and the number of times feeding j may be diminished. At this time in the pig's 'ile a little grain fed night and morn- j ing, will not be thrown away oil liini ; a J iittle oats or rye if the pig is in a healthy ; ci edition, followed by about a pint of corn, I which may be subsequently increased to a | quart. This addition of grain will tell am- j a/.ingly in the growth of the animal, as well! as have a tendency to keep hiin in such a i condition, that when fattening time arrives j he will be ready for the knife much sooner j than a hog fed only on slops without the daily quota of corn, to say nothing of the saving of a good deal more corn than has been used up to this time in feeding. The milk from the dairy, when weakened by the slops from the kitchen, should occasionally through the week be enriched by the addi tion of rye bran. STY AND REDDING. There is no greater mistake made by far mers than allowing swine to run about out of the pen. To say nothing of the immense destruction which they are liable to do, they so completely run themselves down that it takes almost double the amount of I feeding to get them in condition for butch- 1 eriug. The pen in which hogs are kept should consist of two apartments- -a covered and an uncovered one. An excellent manner in which to construct a pig-sty, is to erect a two-story frame building, having a part of the under story boarded oft'for a place in which to keep the slop barrel, reserving the rest for a dry pen for the hogs, and have a pen constructed outside, and coni muuicatinn with this covered one. The feeding trough should be in the outside pen. In this manner, if the pigs are given a sufficiency of rye straw in the inside pen, and the ontside one is kept well supplied with the buts of corn stalks, they will not only make an immense amount of manure, but will keep themselves white and clean, thus refuting the assertion of the filthiness which is continually Hung at them. In the upper part of this pen should be kept litter for the bedding for the hogs ; or a part of it may be partitioned off for a hennery. 1 have adopted what 1 consider a very good as well as economical plan of getting the upper part of my hog building filled with good littering material. It is this : \\ lien hauling in my corn fodder I cut off about two feet of the hard, dry buts, which the cattle can not eat, and have them bound into small bundles and stowed away in the upper portion of the hog-house, to be used as reqnired. rhene corn buts when thrown into the outside pen are so torn and tram pled up that they are converted into good, lasting manure, which has not its superior on the farm, and which would be almost entirely lost if led to cattle in the fields, etc. FATTENING. When fattening time comes, I generally commence by feeding the " nubbins," and after two or three weeks, follow them up with shelled corn. This I always feed boiled, boiling in the morning what is re quired during the day, and at night what is necessary for the morning. Feeding thus, brings my work nearly all in day light. In tiiis way I can make my hogs fat enough for all practical purposes, by feed ing them from fifteen to twenty bushels of corn, each, and in slaughtering at sixteen j months old,they weigh from four to five lnin-1 dred pounds. I never like them to exceed j the latter figure in weight, for 1 have no j fancy for this overgrowth and spongy pork of forced hogs. HEALTH AND DISEASE. You will observe that I do not particu- j larize any disease or its remedy—the rea son is that 1 know nothing about disease 1 in hogs. 1 have never had occasion to j know —taking care of my hogs, feeding them regularly and paying attention to ; their litter and quality of feed. In nine years' experience in hog raising, I have had but one die—and that one I am constrained to think was bodily injured, as he became j so weak in the hind-quarters that he was unable to support that portion of his body, and died while in very good condition, showing no symptoms of disease ot any kind. KILLING AND CURING. As to killing of hotrs. I presume that al j most every farmer ■ •'.<> laud knows as | much as I do; at leu*!, every one should. • The butchering is a small matter—the work |of a day—and I do not deem it necessary to insert my mod'' here, as all have nearly j the same way of accomplishing this end. i The way in which to realize the most mon jey out of the hog meat is to cut every ' available scrap into sausage meat, and j boil the rest into scrapple (curing only tin hams), and selling it while fresh, and the sooner the better, as both sausage and scrapple command a higher price early in j the winter than at any other season. The curing of pork is, perhaps, one of the ; most important matters in connection with the rearing of swine, and my mode 1 con sider as one of the very best, from the fact that it never fails. After the meat (hams or shoulders) is thoroughly cold, cut and trim the hams very close, then rub them well with salt, pack close in a barrel or tub, and after j laying for three or four days, make a brine of the following ingredients : To every 100 pounds of ham, allow 4 gallons of water, 9 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of sugar, 4 ounces | of saltpeter, and 1 ounce of saleratus. The ! brine should be boiled and the scum taken j oft'; when cold pour it on the meat. From : four to six weeks should be allowed, (ac cording to size of hams), for the meat to remain in pickle. After the meat is hung up, allow two or three days to dry, then 1 smoke with us little fire as possible. Use 1 green hickory, with sassafras in smal. quantities. As soon as the meat is suffi-: ciently smoked, each ham should be taken i down and carefully wrapped in paper, then j bagged to prevent the depredations of tlies, [ | and hung in a cold dry place, out of the ! reach ot rats and mice. The foregoing embraces only the knowl- j "edge, notings, and experience of a practical j farmer, about the hog. My object will be i attained, if it shall prove to be of any j benefit to anv one.— American Agricultural-! *y Autumn Plowing for Spring Crops- The airing of freshly turned soil in sum- j mer, results as we know, in fitting it for a ( succeeding crop better than almost any j other preparation, and the reason why sum | mer fallows are not more advocated byAg- 1 j riculturists, is that a root crop or green | manure crop may occupy the soil and the | results of the fallowing be even augmeu- j ted. It is not so'in winter. Sward land' plowed in the autumn remains exposed to < the action of the weather—to freezing and ! thawing, wetting and drying for several ; months. The sod during a considerable ! portion of this time is subject to decay,ami j in the spring after cross-plowing and liar- I : rowing, almost disappear. The opportunity I | should not be neglt-eb-d to put the plow ! | down an inch or tu >. and this new soil l j which might be o[ d :.i ge to the crop if! ! brought to tin-top in the spring,is thorougly i | civilized before the crop takes possession, i i Weed seeds that germinate in the autumn, ias many will, get their quietus. Manure jif applied and plowed under in the fall ! I though it may be buried deep, becomes con ! siderably incorporated with the soil, and j | the spring plowing brings it up again, well | mixed with the decayed sods, forming an i admirable seed bed. MAKE THE BARNS COMFORTABLE. -When ; \ lumber and labor are so scarce and so high, j few will think of building new barns, but | they should try to make the old ones com- j j fortable. And this especially on the ap l proach of winter. If the siding is poor, board it up on the inside of the studs, and fill up the space between with swale hay, 1 straw, or shavings. If the uuderpining is i loose, chink it up before frost. If the floors ! of the stalls are rotten or worn thin, repair { tlicm or pull them up and lay dirt floors be fore the stock break through and break their legs Any handy farmer can attend to such jobs on rainy days, with small ex pense except for boards and nails. EARLY MILKING. —Cows should be milked early in the morning so that they can feed lon the dewy grass. Two hours ot such j feed is worth as much as that of the rest of ' the day towards giving a good flow of milk. ] So wake up boys at father's rap on the par | tition wall, and hie to the yard with pail in I hand, and have the cows in pasture before ! anybody's else, lie sure and inilk clean. . I A boy who will always milk clean will | have a good recommendation of being | faithful wherever lie goes, and such a rec j omineudation always goes a great wav j among business men. LIME FOR GRADES.-— Dr. Kirtlund, of Ohio, j thinks that where lime is needed for grapes i the best form iu which to apply it is sul phate of lime -(gypsum or plaster.) He ' would use a bushel to a bushel and a half annually per acre. He does not say how and when lie applies it, but we presume this is not of much consequence. FOR unfruitful Gooseberries, prune freely in the tall, cutting out old wood and short ening the new. An old bush may be cut back OIK: half to advantage. If still iu- I clined to wood without fruiting, pinch in ' the summer growth. rj . . , I IT is the law in Japan'that not a fir or I cypress tree can be cut down without the . permission of a magistrate, and for every I j lull grown tree that is felled a sapling , must be planted. , IN writing on wooden labels or marking sticks, with a common pencil, if the wood t is first wet, the mark will lust two years ; , if written on dry, one or two rains will wash it all away.
