Not a little o' 'lie disease among hog? is due to t lie disre j gard of their needs of a variety j Of foods. Barley is chiefly valuable for i's muscle forming propensities, yielding very largely of both la< and flesh. In many cases it is nof the vi-| cious *ow but the stupid feeders that mak?8a c mible of the mother sow. As much as the breeding and growing animals need exercise lor tluir prosperity, the h jgs for fattening'netd rest and quie'. A hog wit.h a short nose and a thick head, short legs and plenty of heart and lung room is usually a quiet and good grower. While the pig should never be kept hungry he should be kept so that he will c >me to the trcfugh with a good appetite. When a sow proves to be a good mother in all respects, keep her until she will oreed no more and save from her another breeder. Pigs often lack vigor because the btood sow is kept too I at. A good thritty condition is much better for the hogs han too much lat. A pig that has been stunted in its early days for the want of a sufficiency of food, will never recover Iroin it so as to give the best results from feeding. The/secrets of profitable pork consists in pushing the animal when young so that it is early ready to market, and giving f<?od adapted to the wants and condition of the anfrnal.?Live Stock Journal. Harvesting and Keeping Sweet Potatoes. Prof. \V. F. Massey in Progressive Farmer. When your sweet potato vines are f*r?t nippel by fro-t, they should be at onee removed even if n t realv fo (lit*, f >r the dead vines will be apt to dam -g the roots if left attache 1. Dig if possible when the soil is dry and the weather bright and warm. Do not throw the potatoes into heaps and bruise them, but lay them along ihe rows in tlie sun all day, gathering up b fore dew fills. Then do no throw them into a wagon bocly to he shovelled out, but pick them up in basket* or crates Slatted crates, such as are ujed for shipping vegetables in, are good for this purpose, and if a regular pota'o house is made for the winter storage they can be stored to advantage in the crates. But I will treat in this article of the storing in heaps or hills in open ground, as is a common p/actice in the South, and when properly done the potatoes 0 THE LANO. Department. I L V cau be kept in thi* way very ? nicelv. But whero the croD is J1 grown on a large scale for mat* 8 ket it will always pay to have " a regular potato house built. There are several such house"4 in South Carolina and Georgia v' that were constructed Irotn my 1 directions, and have beeu a re- i maik ble success. I met one <>1 i I tie men 'o whom I had given \ the speefications at t he South Car oliila State Fanners' Convention i at Cletnson College. He told nv j tha then, the middle of August, ; | he was .'ending last year's pota- i toes to hogs, perfectly sound, in | oider to get them out of the way 1 for the coming crop. But where the potatoes are grown to the extent of only a hundred or so hui'te s they can be kept in the South in hills, or batiks, as some ca'l them, provided the potatoes are handled property in the harvesting. HOW TO MAKE A POTATO BANK It is always best to liave a rough sheil over tho place vih re the bank-* ?>re to be made, for dry earth keeps out frost better than wet e?rth. Having then constructed such a rout-rh shelter. the ground should be shaped so that 110 water will run under the hills of potatoes. Place a thick layer of dry pine straw on the ground This straw! should have been raked in dry weather and kept under cover; so as to be perfectly dry at storing time. Potatoes that have been grown from cuttings of the (vines from the spring plants will ! keep better than tbe early ones, i Place tho potatoes in heaps of (about twenty-live bushels etch, j Then cover them thickly with : pine straw. Let the heaps stand (in this w ty till the potatoes have ! gone through the sweat I ha* they always puss through alter storms an<l are ?1 rv. When the nitihts betiin tube fros'y and approach the Ireezinir temperature, cover the heaps with about six inches of earth, dry earth that has been kept under 111? same shed Pat this down smoothly, leaving only a small opening at the top down to the pine straw. Then, as it begins to freeze considerably at nisrbt, place-another | six inches of soil all over tiiej beans, and if you have dug and handled tiie potatoes carefully' ?n 1 have not s'ored any diseased 1 or cut potato's, they will usoaMy keep very well.
