IPs 58 FATTENING JPIG3. I From tho feeding experiments, which extended over three years, on the fattening of over 100 swine upon grain, tho iollowing general conclu sions nre reached by the Canadian Ex periment Station: 1. On the average 4.33 pounds of grain (barley, rye, peas, wheat, frosted wheat, and wheat bran) was the quan tity consumed per pound of increase in the live weight. 2. In tho feeding of grain, consid ering quantity of feed coneumed and the general health of the animals, it is profitable to feed the grain ground and soaked in water for an average of about thirty h.ours. 3. Is is profitable to add about three or five pounds of skim milk or butter milk per head per day to the grain fed to fattening swine. ( GOOD FAKMIK3. I have gardened and farmed for sev enteen years, and have grown 35,000 cabbages this season; they will average ten pounds per head, writes David W. Fox, of Westmoreland County, Penn sylvania. Somo weigh twenty-two pounds. I can produce club root at every plart, if I so desire, and can avoid it entirely by exercising care. Too much decomposed vegetable mat ter will produce it, especially that of cabbage, but the worst of it can be righted by a good application of un slaked lime. I had ten acres of corn, producing 2150 bushels of ear. corn. This corn Las been crossed for seven teen years, always selecting the best for seed. I have grown fifty bushels of Martin's Amber wheat per acre, and really believe it to be the best wheat in the market to-day. EXrEBIMEKlS IN PiG FEEDING. The Illinois Experiment Station has published the results of sixteen experi ments made in feeding corn alone to pigs. These experiments were made in nine different months of the year, and show excellent work. The average of the sixteen lots showed 11 pounds live weight made from fifty-six pounds of corn; with corn worth thirty-five cents per bushel this would make pork cost a trifle over three cents per pound. Tho poorest results were obtained from work done in January, which ehowed G.93 pounds from one bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing 103 pounds each. The ext poorest re sults were obtained in June, July and August, and showed 8. 23 pounds per bifshel of corn fed to pigs weighing 208 pounds each. The third poorest result was in July, and showed 8.66 pounds per bushel fed to pigs of 223 pounds weight. The best work was done in December, and showed 16.81 pounds from one bushel of corn. American Farmer. " . . THE PBOFITABIjE COVf. Size Anywhere between 600 and 2000 poutJtts. An average cow of any breed will answer, other things being equal. Conformation Large barrel nnd great capacity, as shown by the deep middle and ribs well sprung. Neck, shoulders and thigh thin. Wide over hips and loins, and above all else thin in flesh and lacking beef form when well fed. She should show good health by having good heart girth, good ap petite, and hair as smooth as silk. Food All she will habitually eat up clean and digest of a well balanced ration. Production Her annual butter pro duct should never- fall below 200 pounds and with butter at fifteen cents set there is little profit at 250 pounds. To get such cows use only registered bulls of your favorite breed. Do not use a bull whose dam as a two-year-old will not produce 180 pounds or as a mature cow 300 pounds of butter fat. The best bull obtainable is none too good. Do not begrudge the $50 or $100 it will take to buy such a bull, American Agriculturist. SUNLIGHT FOR APPLE TREKS. In order to produce such ft crop of apples as trees sometimes do they must do a large amount of work in collecting the crude materials re quired and in manufacturing them into such refined products an Graven steins, Greenings and Baldwins. Sun light, by its action upon its foliage, furnishes largely the power that runs the machinery of fj apple tree. The amount of this power that a tree can use in a measure determines how much fruit the tree can bear, The natural habit of tho apple tree is to form a rounded top, with tho branches bending low, to catch as much sunlight as possible. It is a too common practice to cut these limbs off, which may in the case of a well grown tree represent from 400 to 800 f quare feet of ihe normal bearing sur face of the top, and in this way to permanently iDjure the tree. It is as important for an apple treo that is to do its best work to have its top ad justed to use the light as it i3 for a sailing vessel to be trimmed to catch the wind. Save the lower limbs, that increase the surface area of th3 top, for these, when the rcots are well cared for, en large the bearing capacity of the tree ; but thin out and when necessary short en in the limbs, that the light may shine brighter on those that are left. American Farmer. portJLAKrrr of toland-chinas. There is no single breed of swine that within the last twenty years has grown into such general favor in the corn-producing region of Ohio, In diana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, East ern Nebraska and Kansas, as the fa mous Poland-China. Ten years ago these hogs compared with the Berk hires and had eclipsed all other breeds, and they have since held their own in Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas and Michigan. About this time they were spotted or mottled. '.jey are now bred, like the Berkshire, black with white points, though not with tho white strip in the face. Their bone has been refined, the offal light ened, and the general contour length ened, squared up, smoothed and finished so that they have become established as the equal of any known breed for carrying flesh in the superior parts, as backs, loins, hams, sides and shoulders. The Poland-China is a good feeder and a good digester of food; is quiet, sufficiently strong of limb, well haired, and 'healthy, fattens easily, at say, eleven months, into a heavy profitable hog, and is eagerly sought after by the packers at the Union stock yards at Chicago. The. flesh is sweet and well marbled with fat. When of full age, a weight equal to any of tho superior breeds is attained. Nor is tho popularity of this famous Ameri can breed for it is as distinctively Amerioan as the trotting horse con fined to the United States. They have been exported as breeders to many foreign countries. The Poland-China has good length of body, small head, ears thin and falling forward and well pointed, legs short and of fine bone, tail of medium length; small and with a white brush. They can be made to weigh two hun dred and fifty to three hundred at eight to twelve months. They have broad, straight backs, deep sides with flanks well let down, hams and should ers square, chest deep, and with full necks high and orested. The head is short and the chops full. The muzzle is fine and the loins and hams are not surpassed by any breed. There has been no admixture of for eign blood for fifty years, but, on the contrary, a constant refinement of breeding, carefully and systematically carried out by the most reputable breeders, and as an all around profita ble breed it has not, I think, a su perior in the Indian corn region of the Weft. New England Homestead. FARM AND GAB DEN NOTES. rienty of exercise is a better stimu jant for egg production than drugs. Poultry manure is a excellent fertil izer. Gather it on rainy days and store in a dry place. You cannot grow eggs and lice with the same fowl. The latter will soon kill the chances of the former. As a precaution against the striped cuenmber bugs next year rake off and burn all the rubbish on the patch. The secret of feeding is to avoid getting the laying hens fat. Always keep them at work ; a lazy hen is never a good layer. Deep cultivation hastens the matur ity of cabbage plants. Mulching tends to increase the Bize of the head3. The largest heads usually come from large seeds. The essential requisites of a poultry house at this season are dryness, warmth and light. Never mind about ventilation that will take care of it- seli during cold weather. liiose roses wnica are to be Jett la the ground over winter need some pro tection. A light covering of leaves, held in place by evergreen boughs, is probably a3 good as anything. Dry picked fowls bring a little mora per pound than these that are scalded. To dry pisk to the beet advantage the work should be done as soon as possi ble after the fowls are killed. If al lowed to become cold, the task is not only tedious but often proves unsatis factory. There aro some advantages in prop' gatiDg your own plants. You can con tinuo the varieties that do best in your particular locality and soil. You can transplant them as soon as your ground is properly prepared. You can use more care in transplanting and fill in the missing hills at leisure. To manage a strawberry field well, divide it into thirds. One bed will be new, upon which to rely for the main crop ; one old, from which to get what one can; the other set to new berries. As soon as the old bed has got through bearing, plow it up and set it to cab bago or some other crop which must be closely cultivated. Seeds of annuals, like the poppy and petunia, may be sown in November, and be ready to come up early in spring. Any annual which self-sows may be eown now with a good pros pect of success. There is a long list of these, including the phlox, verbena, calliopsi?, portulaca, snow-on-the mountain, antirrhinum, and others. In laying plants down (the rows running north and south), commence at the north end, remove the dirt from the north side of the hill about four inches deep ; gather the branches in close form with a wide fork, raising it toward the top of the bush and press gently to the north, at the same time placing the foot firmly on the base of the hill, pressing hard toward the north. Bulbs need a well-drained, mellow spot in a rather sunny place. Only well-rotted manure should be used in enriching it. They should not bo pressed down into tho earth, as is so natural when one plants anything of the kind, but should be placed in holes three or four inches deep and the soil filled in around them. The November planted bulbs will bo benefited even more than those which were planted earlier by a covering of rotted manure over the bed. Distance Annihilated. Mr. M. Kildischewsky, an electrician of Odessa, claims to have discovered an improvement in the telephone by the use of which distance has no eflfeot upon the hearing. In an experiment between Moscow and RostofF, a dis tance of 890 miles, talking, musio and sinking were heard with perfect dis tinctness. For the purpose of this experiment an ordinary telegraph wire was used. Mr. Kildischewsky will go to London to experiment his improve ment on the Atlantis cable between London and New York. Twenty-three thousand six hundred and seven scientific and literary books were published in Germany in 1895. This does not include periodicals. . ffl . A Bundle of Interesting and In structive Paragraphs. A NOVEL BY A NEGRO. The Only Colored Typo In the Gov k ernment Printing Office Other Race Doings. South Carolina hao an Afro-American novelest, certainly the first one of his race in that region, says the Mem phis Scimitar. His name is Kennett Young, and he is what is known in the Southern States as a "white folks' nigger." This is a term which carries much respect with it, and thoughtful colored people are proud -to have it applied either to themselves or to their children. It simply means that the one to whom it is applied is unpopular with the lowest element of his own race, popular with the best element, and that because he fashions his life and ways and thoughts after the best white people of his acquaintance he gains their confidence and esteem. Mr. Young is 36 years old. and is a barber by trade. '-Selene" is the title of his book, and thrilling is an adjective that can be applied to every chapter from the first to the last. Mr. Young loves his race as much as does Booker T. Washington, and in much the same way. This racial pride and love is evi dent throughout the little volume. Mr. W. T. Menard, one of our bright est writers, and well known as the only colored typo in the Government Print ing Office, Washington, D. C, has just completed his term in the job de partment, where a very difficult class of work is done. Ho has been trans ferred to the Congressional Becord, which force is annually culled from the most competent printers in tho building, and offers an increased salary. Mr. Menard served on the Becord thonghout the laet session and it is a recognition of his superior fitness that he is re-assigned to this desirable post. Tho Freeman. Lewis Bates is considered the wealthiest man in Chicago, being rated at nearly $500,000. He is entirely uneducated, dresses poorly, and lives like a poor man. He was born a 6lave nearly seventy years ago, arrived in Chicago in 1861 by "Underground Eailroad," and began by working in a foundry. He soon became an express man and at once began investing his savings in real estate. He has no family, and his only heirs are a few distant relatives. The Freeman. A colored man recovered damages for being putontof a Brooklyn theatro because he became embroiled in a fight which three white loafers forced upon him. Tho jury gave him $300. Out in Jamacia we don't let the colored children go to school with the white children, but at the same time we give them a little protection by law. And we do let them vote. We are not as barbarous, up North as some folks in the South may believe after reading of the actions of the Jamacia board of education. One of the strongest evidences as to the advancement of the Negroes of Chicago is the excellent condition of the Ointh Battalion, the only colored military organization in the State. Their armory at 1300 Michigan avenue is ono of the prettiest structures on that street, and its keeping is a model of military deportment. Major J. Clinton Buckneris commander. Two Chicago men have completed revolutionized electric lighting and transportation, and have made possi ble its use minus fuel of any kind or a dynamo and therefoie have accom plished what Edison and other experts have been woiryiDg over for years. The inventors of this ingenious electri cal contrivance are W. S. Haskins, an Afro-American Policeman, and L. B. Bogers, an expert electrician. Dr. Samuel J. Harris, born in Wil liamsburg, Va., educated at the medi cal school of Harvard, elected to a po sition in the Boston City Hospital, who has recently won much fame in scien tific medirine, is the only colored specialist of the eye, ear, nose and throat in America. The Freeman. Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, of Mis sissippi, who now lives nt Washing ton, is favorably mentioned in connec tion with the ministership to Brazil or the Argentino Bepublic. It is thought that he would like to wind up his po litical career as a representative of the United States in a good position abroad. Rev. E. R. Carter, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, Atlanta, Gn.,- is about to build a home in con nection with the church for the aged poor, the orphans of the congregation and other friendless colored waifs. The movement has won the sympathy of both whitevand colored people, and many donations of brick, lumber, etc., are received. The first production of an original American play in a prologue and four acts, entitled Marcus, a Story of the South, written by Bev. G. Richings and R. Henri Strange, was given in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, recently, under the auspices of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital as a benefit therefor. The Philadelphia Tribune says the Afro-American population ol lioches ter, N. Y., is 900. Only six men and women cannot read and write. ) Booker T. Washington, of theTuske- gee Institute, delivered an address be fore the faculty and students of Trin ity College, Duiham, N. C. This is the first instance on record of a South ern white college inviting a Negro to deliver an address. Mr. Washington says that he and the half dozen colored people who accompanied him wero treated with the greatest courtesy, anti his address was received with market enthusiasm. As he left the college grounds the students assembled on the campus and gavo him their college yell. me f reeman. WEEKLY NEWS BUDGET. Southern Pencil Pointers.
