In order to do neat and rapid work at hog-killlug time le is necessary to have a good scraper, sticking knife, a hog hook and a place that is convenient for working. , . - - ., For scalding a barrel is commonly used, and it is all that Is needed unless the hogs 'are very large. If very , large hogs are killed, a scalding tub will answer the purpose for scalding much better than a barrel. I have one which is made of two-inch planks for the sides and ends and sheet iron for the bottom. It is six feet long and three' and one-half feet wide, with a depth of two and one-half feet. Two hooks are fastened near the top on one side, with a pair of trace chains to run under the hog to facilitate the turning and withdrawing from the tub. It is placed over a furnace, which is made by digging a trench in the ground, and when in use I place pieces of wood across the bottom, In order to keep the hog from coming in contact with the iron bottom and getting too hot. - - v . I find that the proper temperature for good scnlding is from ISO to 100 degrees, and if a barrel is to be used the water should , be boiling when dipped out of the kettle, as the barrel will cool it some. If a scalding tub is used the water should be cooled by adding a bucket of cold water before the hog is put iu. To Insure a correct heat of the water use a thermometer. Small quantities of lye, ashes or Jlnie will have no effect In removing the hair, but will cause the scurf to come loose more readily. Keep the hog in constant motion while being scalded, and draw it out to air occasionally. When the hair and scurf slip easily from the body the scalding, is com pleted. In scraping and cleaning the hog, I clean the feet and head first, then the legs, and last, but hot least, the body. : . f I hang the hog with a rope and pulley, as it is more easily hung in this way than any other. But It may be hung with the ordinary gainbrel, a stick which is sharpened at each end and inserted tinder the tendon strings of the hind legs. A short singletree. will be found to answer for a gambrel stick. If there is sufficient help at hand the hog may be hung on a pole put up for the purpose. After the hog is hung up, rinse It down with scald ing water, remove the entrails by running a sharp knife lightly down, mark ing the belly straight, cutting to the bone between the thighs and in front of the ribs, which bones I split with an ax, being careful not to cut beyond them. .. '.' ".'-:- I usually salt down on a bench or In a box as soon aa it has cooled enough to trim. The amount of salt I use is ten. pounds to every 100 pounds of meat In addition to the salt I also use two pounds of granulated sugar and two ounces of saltpeter mixed. Rub the meat once every three days with one-third of the mixture. While it is curing pack it in a box in a cool room, where it will neither become warm nor freeze. Two barrels may be used, changing the meat from one to the other each time it Is rubbed. After the last rubbing let the meat He In a box for a week or ten days, then take It out to smoke. When taken out of the box dip each piece in a kettle of boiling water and let it remain half a minute, after which sprinkle with a little powdered borax on the meat Bide and hang. Smoke it four or five days with hickory chips of corn cobs, then dip and sprinkle it with borax again and put it down in clean, hay. Meat treated In this manner may be left hanging all summer and will remain in the best con dition. W. Hanson. , ; ' ; Filling; the Silo. How did you All your silo last fall? fhe government people declare, that while the blower, as shown In the pic ture, requires more power to operate than does the flat carrier, very few atCTUOO OF FILLING TUB SILO. blowers require more than a twelve- horse-power engine. It costs less per ton to elevate silage with the blower and the work Is done more satisfac torily in every way. The greastest trouble In the use of the blower is caused by having the blower pipe stand too far away from the silo at the bot tom. - It should stand as nearly per- oendlcular as possible. Exchange. Good for Man and Beaat. If a cow or horse gets choked with an apple or potato hold up its head and break an egg in Its mouth. A cheap cure for colic in horses is the following: Keep a small bottle of turpentine always on band. Feel for the Jugular vein back of the Jaw on the right side and rub it gently five or ten inches with a flannel rag wet with turpentine. If the animal has colic It will cure him in ten minutes. To dose a pig halter him and tie the rope to a stake. When he has ceased his uproar approach him and between the back part of his Jawa In sert an old shoe from which yon have cut the toe leather. This he will at once begin to suck and chew. Through It pour your medicine and ha will swallow any quantity you pi Sheep Experiment-. An experiment which will be watch ed with much Interest by all New En gland, and which may be the means of revolutionizing the present method of farming here, is about to be tried by the Maplecrest Stock and Poultry Farm Association, Springfield, Mass. The association Is planning to bring 1,000 sheep from the western part of the country and put them on farms In and around Uiddlefleld and Becket. The sheep are merinos and will be mated with dorset rams "of local ex traction. Some of the reasons which prompted the association to bring the sheep are the decreasing ratio of the meat sup ply and the constantly increasing popu lation of the country. - Scotch herders will be brought here with the sheep and will be used in stead of dogs or fences to keep them from straying, as It is claimed that more care can be given by professional herders. Care la Feed In a- Working Horaea Horse feeding Is not given the atten tion it should be by some farmers. That of the cow and sheep is carefully examined and discussed, but oftentimes the horse's feed is Just all the hay he can' eat and various quantities of corn and oats, according to the work being done. Although oats and hay are ideal food, they should not be fed exclusive ly. Horses like a variety as well as does any other animal. Good timothy, early cut and well cured, Is the beat hay for horses, but many farmers feed too much hay. If the horse is expect ed to do extra hard work he should be liberally and frequently fed. , It is best to water horses as they come in from work or before feeding. If watered soon after feeding, the stomach, being small, is liable to be partially emptied by the water of the undigested food, which causes bowel trouble or loss of food. Males Hfaa Moaejr. Some people have the Idea that a mule will not respond to kind treat ment This is a sad mistake. A goo mule Is Juat about as good as cash lo the bank any season In the year. A thoroughbred Jack generally prove a better Investment than a stallion. First class Jacks are very scares and that is cm reason why mule breeding la alow. r rHOW TO BL'ILD RURAL i-rti.svtir ixirr a, i m t-Hru r 1 1 tn it W. - a3 It Want a Telephone ?
