A . . \ ( FASH AND HOUSEHOLD. USEFUL IVFOKMATIOV FOB THK FARMER AND HOUSEKEEPER. Shall We Raise Hogs? A great deal has been said to the farmers at the South, to induce them to raise their own supplies. It is gen erally conceded, by the farmers them selves, that it is much cheaper to pro duce at home all food crops necessary for farm stock, but it is not so gener ally believed that it will pay to raise the meat needed by our labor. Taking circumstances just as they are, this may possibly be true, says the Hon. W. J Northen, in ihe South ern Cultivator; but making circum stances as they should be, should very much change the condition of things. In this, as in every other business, we would seek the best appliances and the most convenient and profita ble arrangements. Let us arrange our crops, our pastures and our conveni ences for proper care, and the matter will be successfully settled. Our lands and our labor are very much cheaper than at the West. With proper preparation and judi cious cultivation, our crops can be produced as cheaply and abundantly as at the West, and the capital neces sary to bring about the same results is, therefore, ver3’ much lessened. In other w’ords, a hog worth in the mar kets $26, grown upon cheaper lands, cheaper products and in a more favor able climate will bring a larger profit to a Southern farmer than if raised under the conditions necessary at the West. The mistake we make is the expen sive food given to hogs. It is not de sirable nor profitable to feed hogs so exclusively corn, as is generally done at the South. Much of the expense will be reduced in good pasture. It is astonishing to see how thrifty and vigorous hogs become on good Ber muda pasture, witli very little other food. Such pasture can be greatly in creased by sowing red clover, at the proper season, with the Bermuda, and have both grow together. The land must, of course, be well prepared before receiving the clover seed. Lu- cern, a special food for hogs, has been found admirably adapted to the soil and climate of the South. These grasses will not grow to advantage on worn out, thin land; nor does it ever pay to expect profitable results in gra zing the lands usually given to pas ture at the South. Select good land, prepare it thoroughly, fertilize as far as may be possible, and seed to the grasses already indicated, and the foundation is laid for profitable hog raising. In addition to pasture, crops may be grown at little expense and yet bring good profits in furnishing suita ble change. Beginning in the early months of the year with r3’e, to be followed successively with early oats, early peas, the gleaning from grain fields, later peas, sweet potatoes and ground peas, large numbers of hogs can be grown, and the expense, as compared to the income, scarcely ap- ^prcciahle. T. . nxisc bog#.g anu'Tit a profit, we have only to get ready for it. The ipain reason, I imagine, why farmers do not give more attention to raising hogs is the destruction caused by contagious diseases. This objec tion cannot obtain in any more force with us than at the West. Nebraska recently suffered a loss of $2,000,000 from swine plague, and Iowa nearly as much. I know of no section any more exempt from the ravages of the disease than the Slates of the South. No advantage, therefore, can be claimed over us in this particular. The meat we buy lias been grown un der the same chances for loss as that we raise. After getting pastures and crops ready we must use the best means known to prevent losses from disease. In this connection it may not be amiss to s.-^ that I have never lost my hogs from disease, when I gave them turpentine regularly—one teaspoonful to each hog once a week. I shall not undertake to give the rea son for the remedy^ I state onl3 T the result. Possibl3' the best argument for rais ing our own supplies is found in the fact that those farmers who live at home invariabb* have 11101103’, while those wiio buy what they eat are al ways financially pressed. I cannot believe it pa3’s to delay time and waste food on inferior stock. We do not want hogs two 3*ears old before they are ready to be slaughter ed. Get the best breeds, such as de velop rapidb’, push them early, give them good care and constant atten tion, slaughter at 12 to 14 months, weighing 200 to 300 pounds, and you will not regret the trouble of raising your own meat on the farm. The Season for Making Manure. F/om the Southern Planter. Now is the time for farmers to be active and vigilant In their efforts to secure a good suppb’ of those manures for the use on the next 3'ear’s crops. The order in which they may be classed in respect to quantity ma3’ be stated a follows: Farm\'ard, stable, hogpen, ashbanks and house slops and poultry house. If properly* handled, their merit in respect to fertilizing properties will be reversed in the order named. This is Kite id< d as a mere suggestive note, and we hope will be accepted as such. The sub ject is one of such importance that an attempt to elaborate it would require more capacity than we claim and more space than we now commaud. We may’, however, venture to impress these few facts: Manure will compensate a farmer for all the labor and care he may de vote to its accumulation. The manure bank, as has been quaintly said, is the farmer’s bank, and pays the best dividends. All manure, as far as pos sible, should be kept under shelter; as the piles are added to by the changing of the stalls and pens, plaster ought to be used freely to fix the nitrogen which is generated by fermentation; dry bedding of straw, leaves or other available materials in ample quantity should be supplied to the animals and removed to the manure pile as soon as it becomes foul. Composting with wood mould, scrapings from fence- corners, or swamp-muck, instead of simply piling, will increase bulk and hold all the gasses and juices of the animal deposits which have valuable fertilizing properties, and in this pro cess also piaster should be liberally used; hen manure especially should be kept dry, and to insure this, the hen house ought to have a dry and hard clay floor—a plank one would be better—and the droppings shovelled or swept with a stiff broom into a corner every’ few day’s and plaster sprinkled liberally over the pile with each addition thereto. An ash bed is a necessity where all ashes on the premises are to be deposited, as well as house and kitchen sweepings, bones and slops, and to furnish sufficient supply of absorbent material, it will be well to add a load or two of wood mould occasionally. A methodical system in all these respects will aston ish a farmer as to how much and how Valuable his manures will be. About Poultry Raising. Every hen house should be kept as warm as possible. You can’t get eggs when they sell highest unless your poultry is made comfortable and fed properly. There is just as much in knowing how to feed hens as there is in the feeding of any other farm stock. This is the next important item to look af ter as soon as good houses are pro vided. If you should have a gentle old biddy to get broody the latter part of this month give her eggs and let her bring you up a clutch of chicks for C ' rly broilers. If you are prepared for it, com mence the work of hatching this month. It won’t cost much to build a warm nursery for early chicks, and they will always bring a good price and can be shipped a long ways to market. If you need any new blood in your flock don’t delay buying any longer. You needn’t get show birds at high prices if you are not breeding for ex hibition purposes. In fact most ot the show birds in the country are fit for nothing else but show. Fowls can’t possibly thrive and do well if they have to stand around in the mud and filth all day long. They must have a place to scratch and ex ercise. The horse stable is a most excellent place for them to range in if allowable. Let your birds have some meat feed occasionally, as they need it, and can’t get out doors to get the “early worm” while the ground is frozen. Butchers’ scraps and cracklings are excellent and can generally be pro cured cheaply. When eggs are two cents apiece, as they are now, one naturally gets the chicken fever. A good hen soon pays for herself if she can be induced to get in her work while eggs are scarce. Planting; of Fruit Trees. If the acre has been enriched and ploughed twice deeply, as I have al ready suggested, little more is neces sary in planting than to excavate a hole imgyenuugh tu iecef\e-tlie toots spread out in their natural positions. Should no such thorough and general preparation have been made, or if the ground is hard, poor and stony, the owner will find it to bis advantage to dig a good-sized hole three or four feet across and two deep, filling in and around the tree with fine surface soil. If he can obtain some thorough ly decomposed compost or manure, for instance, as the scrapings of a barn-yard, or rich black soil from an old pasture, to mix with the earth be neath and around the roots, the good effects will be seen speedily, but in no instance should raw manure from the stable, or anything that must decay before becoming plant loed, be brought in contact with the roots. Again I repeat my caution against planting too deeply—one of the com monest and most fatal errors. Let the tree be set as deeply as it stood before removal. If the tree be planted early* in spring, as it should be, there will be moisture enough in the soil; but when planting is delayed until the ground has become rather dry and warm, a pail of water poured about its roots when the hole has been nearly filled will be beneficial. Now that the tree is planted, any kind of coarse manure spread to the depth of two or three inches on the surface as a mulch is very useful. Stake at once to protect against the winds. Do not make the common mistake of plant ing too closely. Observe the area shaded by fully grown trees, and you will learn the folly of crowding. Moreover, dense shade about the house is not desirable. There should be plenty of space for plenty of air and sunshine. The fruit from one well developed tree will often more than supply a family, for ten or fifteen bairels of apples is not an unusual yield. The standard apples should be thirty feet apart. Pears, the dwarfer growing cherries, plums, etc., can be grown in the intervening spaces. In ordering from the nurseries insist on straight, shapely and young trees, say three years from the bud. Many trees that are sent out are small enough, but they are old and stunted. Also require that there should be an abun dance of fibrous and uumutilated roots.—E. P. Roe in Harper’s. Cream as Food ami Medicine. Persons consumptively inclined, those with fet ble digestions, aged peo ple and those inclined to chilliness and cold extremities, are especially benefitted by a liberal use of sweet cream. No other article of food or medicine will give them results equally satisfactory, and either as a food or medicine it is not bad to take. As an antidote for a tendency to con sumption, it acts like a charm, and serves all the purpose intended to be Served by cod-liver oil with much greater certainty and effect. Where sweet cream can be had, cod-liver oil is never needed. The volatile and easily appropriated unctuous matter in cream, besides contributing directly to warmth and vigor, aids indirectly by promoting digestion for the same reason and in the same way that other aromatic and attenuated oils aid the digestive function. Bavarian cream.—One quart sweet cream, yolks of four eggs, one- half ounce gelatine nr isin-glass. one small cup sugar, two teaspoons bitter almond or vanilla extract. Soak gela tine for one hour in sufficient cold water to cover it. Drain and stir into a pint of the cream made boiling hot. Beat yolks of eggs and sugar until smooth, and add boiling mixture by beating in a little at a time. Haat until it begins to thicken, but do not let it boil, remove from fire and flavor while still hot. Stir in the other pint of cream whipped in a syllabub churn to a stiff froth, and beat it into the custard a spoonful at a time until it is the consistency of sponge cake batter. Pour the mixture into a cool mould and set in the ice to form. Cbust for meat pies.—One quart flour, three tablespoons lard, two and one-half cups milk, one teaspoon soda wet with hot water and stirred into the milk, two tablespoons cream of tartar sifted with the flour, and one tablespoon salt. Work very lightly and do not make too stiff. Foamy saitce.—Whites of 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, one cup boiling milk, juice one lemon. Beat whites of eggs till foamy, but not dry; add the sugar and beat well. Add the milk and lemon juice. Martyrs to" Seek relief in vain, until they begin to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Then they’ re gret the years of suffering they might have escaped had they tried this remedy earlier. The trouble was constitutional not local; and, until Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla did its effective work as an Alterative and Blood Purifier, they were compelled to suffer. The wife of Samuel Page, 21 Austin st., Lowell, Mass., was, for a long time, subject to severe headaches, the result of stomach and liver disorders. A per fect cure has been effected by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Frank Roberts, 727 Washington st., Boston, says that he formerly hail ter rible headaches, and until he took Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, never found any medicine that would give Permanent Relief. “ Every Spring, for years,” writes Lizzie Vf. DeVeatt, 2f*2 Fifteenth st., Brooklyn, N. Y., “ I have had intoler able headaches. I commenced the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla last March, and have not had a headache since that time.” “ I suffered from headache, indiges tion, and debility, and was hardly able to drag mvself about the house.” writes Mrs. M. M. Lewis, of A st., Lowell, Mass. “ Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has worked a marvelous change in my ease. I now feel strong and well as ever.” Jonas Garman, Esq., of Lykins, Pa,, writes: “ For years I have suffered dreadfully, every Spring, from headache, caused by impurity of the blood and bilotisness. It seemed for days and weeks that my head would split open. Nothing relieved me till I took Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine iias cured me completely.” When Mrs. Genevra Belanger, of 24 Bridge st., Springfield, Mass., be.gan to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, she had suffered for some years from a serious affection of the kidneys. Every Spring, also, site was afflicted with headache, loss of appetite, and indigestion. A friend per suaded her to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which benefited her wonderfully. Her health is now’ perfect. Martyrs to head ache should try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, Miaa. W THE ONLY Brilliant Durable xk* Economical Are Diamond Dyes.
