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-!

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.

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.
