The time for feeding hoga will soon be here again, and with grain nt such prices as now indicated, it will pay to arrange for feeding without waste. There is u leak somewhere in the management of most farmers, through which the profits steal away. Most farmers feed corn in the ear, to hogs, and titrow it on the ground. When the ground is froen this meth od will do, but when the ground is soft or muddy there is lots of waste. The accompanying illustration shows a f ceiling platform photo- 'I I II, .frl Ml', III ' '' I i f "n T-r-- e- HOG-FEEDING l'LATFOKM. grnped by the writer on one of the large hog-raising farms in this com munity. It is. in my opinion, a cheap. Ideal platform for feeding corn to hogs, shelled or in the ear. The platform is about lil'.' feet, siiflt ciently large to accommodate eight or ten fair-sized hogs. The owner of this farm has several just such platforms which he uses in feeding his hogs, so that each litter is kept separate from the others. The plat form itself is made of two-inch plank 12 feet hmg. It is considered best to use plank on account of the wear and tear. I have used both the two-inch plank nnil inch boards; the inch stulT will do, but will not last as long. In framing the platform the planks should be mounted upon 2xls set up edgewise. The 2x4s should be of gooil pine or oak; cither will last well. The plank are securely nailed to the Cxls. (lit one side of the pint form is the trough, and this is a good place for it. It gives the hog n good place to stand while drinking and be free from mini and slush in very hnd weather. At the other side and end nre nailed 2x4s to keep the corn from working off of the platform when the hogs are eating. The op posite end hns no cleat, but is left open to give a place to clean the platform rendily after each feeding. When building- the platform let it Incline toward the undented end so that In rainy weather the w.tter wi,l wash and clean the platform. The amount nf material required to build this plat form is less than 20(1 feet, and at the price of hemlock plank in this market ("about $17 per M.) it is so cheap that no farmer should try to gt along without. The platform will pay for itself the first year and it will last, many years. Leo ('. Keyiiolds, in Ohio Fanner. RAZOR-BACK CROSSES. i:perliiieiils mv llelint Conducted .Uity Inerense (he l'rollts ot the Solne l)ciiirliiient. The fecundity, vigor aud digestive propensities of the ru.or-back hog is to be utilized in the production of good hams and bacon. Experiments are be ing conducted at the Wisconsin experi ment station in crossing tho razor back boar, direct from the wilds of Arkansas, with Berkshire and l'olaiul Chiun sows. The first cross is said to be a great Improvement over the mule parent, both in looks aud quality of the same pork. Subsequent genera tions are expected to accentuate the most desirable porking qualities of the dam, while retaining the keen ap petite and natural fecundity of the wild hog. This is a very interesting as well ns important experiment. At one time the rough, wild hog of the forest was the only source of pork that our forefathers knew anything about. Thousands of years were required to improve such rough stock to its pres ent satisfactory condition. It is not to lie wondered at that during all the necessary inbreeding for special points, the final progeny should lose some of its original digestive and productive vigor. If these desirable qualities can now be extracted from the original type of wild boar nnd incorporated into our present symmetrical breeds by judicious crossing, the prolits from the swine department of the farm will be still greater.

"Tl.e mother should be well taken care of, fed on plenty of clover hay, ground corn and oats, Plixed half aihl half. Let the calf have all the finest milk thut it wants; then take it away from the cow and put it. in it stable handy and where the cow can see it, if it is bad weather. If the weather is nice put the cow on n good pasture of rye, with the calf just over the fence at straw shed or stack, where it can (ret the benefit of the sun. The calf should be turned to the cow morn ing, noon nnd night for the first two weeks; then the calf will eat if it is tv.here it can get sumetliing green. There should be a small lot of rye fenced oft for the calf, nnd that, with plenty of milk morning anil night, will be all that is required for the next two weeks. Then the calf will be one month old. On May 1 there should be n patch of oats ready for the calf, with a box nailed up tinder a shed where the calf can go out of bail weather and eat a quart of ground oats and corn, equal parts, morning nnd night for the next month. Feed just after turning the cow out. Ouring the third month, .Tune, the calf should be treated the samp as the second, ex cept a little more ground feed, say one-half pint more. The fourth month it should have a patch of peas to run in, and the feed should lie cut down to one quarl morning nnd night. The fifth month the cnlf should have three pints of ground oats and corn nnd one of oil cake or flax-seed meal given just after being turned to the cow, with the pasture Increased by letting run on a fresh rye patch. At the end of August it will be six months old. and should be ready for market nt the top price for calves.

When such a building is located ir. the pnsture, the cattle can be taught to come to it at night by triving an occasional feed of grain there. In this way they will hae immediate shelter if a sudden shower occurs in the night. Moreover, much manure wiTl thus be saved, which enn be drawn away to the field or piled tip, rotted nnd spread cienly over the pasture land. As the manure is dropped by cattle in the pasture, it is of but little hem-lit. to the soil, ns it is all in one spot, killing the grass, and rendering unpalatable to cattle the rank grass that grows about its edges for several years thereafter. Sheep enrich the land they feed upon. but. the manure dropped by cattle in a pasture is very largely wast ed. Country I lent leman. The iermiiii Army Home, Prof. W. A. Henry: The German army horse often travels ovrr 40 miles in n day, one-third of the distance being in n walk, trot and gallop re spectively. This work means nn ex penditure of energy amounting to not less than 2X7 IS.ouo foot pounds, or a fcedrequircinent of 14.77 pounds, of di gestible matter, including the food of i-upport. The horses are fed on tit: average a ration consisting of only 5.." pounds of hay, 11 pounds of oats nnil some cut straw. This ration contains only about K.S pounds of digestible components, and "it is therefore not hard to understcud why ihe horses lose heavily in weight during the ma neuvers, and that, w hen these are over, n large number of animals have tube disposed of. as not adapted for use in the military service; they are also un fit for almost any other work."
