If it is our purpose in rearing pigs that they shall be fattened and sold on the marftfit for pork, it will not be necessary that the dam is a pure-bred animal. Care in' this regard is needed only in case of the sire. If lie has come of a Well-established pure-bred fuinily oi good feeding animals, Ida progeny from well-formed and vigorous common or grade bows are usually all that can be desired as rapid growers and good feeders. Such sows will generally prove quite as profitable for this purpose aa the higher-priced pure-bred animals. In fact, common bows are, with a good ahow of reason, often deemed the better suited for rearing pigs to t>e fattened than are the pure-bred sows —first cost being left out of the question altogether. They are believed to be more hardy, from the supposition that their digestive and vital organs are hotter developed In reading your remarks on silos and other methods of curing corn fodder I was reminded .of the way in which it is often cured in Maine. After the com is husked (wliich is done as soon as the com is cut) the fodder is put in a mow or on a scaffold —a layer of straw and then a layer of fodder three or four inches thick, or so as to oover the straw, and so on. Usually some salt is scattered over each layer. The cattle eat it readily in winter, straw and all. It is doubtful whether in this climate and with the corn fodder as green as it is usually cut, it could be kept in that way. But if fodder from corn planted for fodder only—to be cut before the corn is matured, or that from oorn matured, is carefully cured and kept from the weather it makes an excellent food for cattle or horses. If cut and steamed 1 doubt not it would be equal if not superior to silo-fodder. When left out in the fields, exposed to the weather, mixed with dirt, dust and sand by the rains and winds, it is of little value. — J, P. S., in Philadelphia Record.
