Ashes and Salt For Hogs. _ We have several times referred to the Importance of ashes and salt for hogs, sayft Chicago Inter Ocean. Attention is again called to the fact that Professor Deary of the Wisconsin station repeatedly commended salt and ashes. By numerous experiments he found that pigs fed cornmeal with salt and water got very fat in a short time, but failed to improve. Pigs fed cornmeal, hardwood ashes, salt and water did better and made better growth of bone. The pigs having ashes made better bone and better gain. He also showed that in the absence of ashes wk may profitably feed ground bone. Corn alone may be used a few weeks to fatten a pig, but It Is so far from a balanced ratton that the growth Is abnormal, and it is unprofitable to attempt to grow pigs on com alone. Big Bonos Not Desired In Sheep. ' In sheep large bones are an unfavorable point, as they denote an abstraction of nutriment which should otherwise go to the foundation of flesh and the greater value of the carcass. The absence of horns is for the same reason desirable for sheep bred for mutton. A soft, mellow feeling of the skin and the tissue underneath, with softness of the fleece, is indicative of a tendency toward the rapid formation of fat. A round frame and broad loin indicate the existence of abundant flesh where it is most desirable, and a general squareness of the outline of the figure proves the existence of largo -muscular development and heavy quarters.
