Su the Suffolks, a small bree quiet in their nature, maturin and fattening easily. • In.. the second place, fatten spring pigs. It may be .ne sometimes to fatten old hogs,. but in this case turn them over to the butcher, to be sold as Western pork. There is little economy in keeping a hog for eighteen months of two years, when in six or seven months he can be made to weigh 250 to 300 pounds, and make much better pork than when he is. older. The Suffolk& will rarely, at this latter age, go over 250 pounds, 4bu.t we have known a litter of grade Suffolks-_ -a. cross of Suffolk and Chester white --to average 300 pounds at seven months. In order to do . this, they must be steadily kept growing from their piglood, and fed with milk at first, slowly changing their diet to more substantial food as . they can digest it. Same make the great mistake of letting their pigs runtograss, Knit green applies all summer, then shut therm up in the Fall and stuff there with corn on the ear. This is too great _a change, Grass is good, and economical food on which to develop the bones -and t muscles of a pig, but for a. • rapi4 de, t velopment they need, in addition, i the swill of the kitchen, which con- tains the -skins milk and various a refuse --.bones among the rest fur-- 1 nishing just such a variety as hogs require. We have never. found e anything equal to milk for thetde- 1 velopment of a young pig. At the t age of six week, a little oatmeal may ev be added to their twill, gradually 1•.a increasing the allowance, mei ming- of ,ling some corn meal as theirstowachs 5 can endue it. Some fatrniers treat e hogs as though their stomachs had rat rights which were entitled to e consideration. They cloy them with e rich food one day and starve diem ab the next, possibly thinking to make di a streak of fat and a :streak of lean. tit • Neither a pig nor ally other ani- of mal should be stunted at any period la °fits growth. . It is the steady pull gate that wins the goal, and is is the in eonstant thrift that =produces profi- how table pork. It may be very well to tic accustom boys and steers to work gr while young, but a hog was never of s made for work. We havel known so farmers to put their pigs into a lean !Ai pasture, and say, ' Root hog, or die.' Flo Such a course may not be death jou to the hog, but it is death to all eni thrift. By all means give the_ pig a warm Lai shelter and a .lean bed. He is not Scat the dirty animal be is sometimes me taken to be. He does indeed wale. Not low in the mire on a warm day, bu on this is because he:is naturally warm so blooded, has a superabundance o its. £Mel on h. s well -larded ribs, .an wishes to cool himself. Left flee roam in the woods, the .hog al wad s makes a clean bed of leaves an keeps himself neat. When shut up in his domestic state, he needs a least a suit of three rootlzs--a bed- room ,a dining -room - � b rOOrri and a water - closet. If compelled to perform all the offices of Iife in one apartment, of course he must be dirty, but even in these straightened circu :; m.,tances, it is curious to notice his endeavors to make three rooms out of one. Give him plenty of antra %, and he will in all cases keep a. cle.n corner for a bedroom. Commence to fatten earl - � -cold. weather muchY In ch fool is: required to keep up animal heat. p animal :.

Feed regularly three titres• a day. We have lately seen the politician's injunction, ' Vote early, and vote often,' thus paraphrased, and applied to hogs, ' Feed early, and feed often;' but hogs need some time for. sleep and digestion. Stirring them up to eat once in two hoa>rselisturbs their dreams and secretio,s, and is a waste of their vital energies. A hog that is accustomed to be fed at .6 o'clock in the morning, at 12 m,, and, at fi p. m,, does not expect to eat at any. other time, and in the meanwhile sleeps; snores and thrives. Those farmers who feed often and irregu- larly, will find their porkers either on the qui vive for something to eat, or with stomachs deranged, and de- clining all food. Finally, cook all the food fed to swine, or at least cook all the grain until it is softened and begins .to fer- ment. This' greatly facilitates di- gestion. There is the same reason for cooking food for hogs as for. heti. • We grind our. wheat and partially ferment our .flour, and thus aid in its assimilation. Why should not the hog bee aided in the same vitamer ? The feces show that mote nutriment is extracted -from ground and cooked food than from unground and uncooked. : The saving is cora manly estimated at twenty-five per cent., which will more than compen- sate for the expense of cooking.. Fdrthermore, after' the pork is ,fattened sell most of it to the moun- tain wood,choppers, who need such food to keep them warm. ? rm News and Notes.
