APPLES FOB FA i TENING IlOtiS. Although the attention of our readers has been before called to this subject, we believe it importance is too iiltle appreciated generally, and as the present is the season for action, we shall lay a few facts before thetn. showing the advantages of employing apples as food for fattening hogs, ever other substances. We shall tir?l emkavor to show that they are a vchi'ib'e kind ol food, and secondly that they are a cheap cr.e. l. . i -r -ifli roan rA fr i!i.-.ir X I itl i n till I i. '11 II v 1 1 . ii lur. A coi re-pondent of the Maine Farmer in 1334 made the following experiment. He commenced feeding his ho.;-on apples in August. A pig four months old and weighing 95 pound, was (ed 18 days as follows: tirst, two buduls ol four apples, boiled with six tpiarts ot oats and pea meal, weighing four and a half pounds, were given him. At the end of six days he had gained y?r pounds. He was then k pt six o a s on the same quantity of boiled fired ap pies and meal, at the end of which time he had gained six pounds more. H' was next fed on an equal quantity of boiled potatoes and meal, and at the end of six days he had gained oalv Jive pounds. Here the superiority of both sweet and sour apples over potatoes was decisively shown. A correspondent of this paper at Lockport, in a communication last winter, states, that he -hut up sewn hogs about fourteen months old on the first ol October; they were in poor condition, and estimated to weigh about loOlbs. each, and worth in the maiket 2 1-2 cents per pound. They were fed fifty days on apples, mostly sour, boiled with a small quantity of water, with the addition of a bushel of bran and a pint of salt, to three bushels of npples. At the end of titty days they were fed with twelve and a half bush els of soft corn in the ear, and afterwards slaughtered. Tiie average weight of each was 272 pounds. Estimating the apples at twenty-five ei-nts a bushel, the bian at six cent--, a ad the corn at sixty-two and a half, to.- whale expense was $77,55, and the poik at $'6,25 per cwt. 116, leaving a clear piofit of 41,45. See the whole ex periment detailed, in Gen. Farmer, current volume, page Gl. These experiments, it will be observed, were with cooked ar: ' The practice has also succee , have been fed in a ra the latter is not as pro a very small scale, w ; and expense of cooki' paratively greater, i experiments, the appi. -cooked. A correspond. . ga county turned thirty h thirty to forty shoals and hen they re; though "xcept on trouble .. Kj . I iand from pigs in an orchard of 400 trees about the 15ih of September, and they remained there until the latter part of November, when they were slaughtered, with the exception of 12 dollars' worth sold alive, and about a dozen retained as store pig. They yielded about 5,150 las. of fiiX rale pork, fattened on apples wholly, without any grain. This was llie fourth experiment of the kind made by the writer, all of which were amended with complete success. In the fourth volume, page 324, of the Genesee Farmer, S. P. Rhoado'sof Skaneateles says, "A friend from Massachusetts informs me that he shut up a hog by himself, and fed him entirely on apples and water, las', fall, and that he became very fat, was well filled, and the pork was hard and sweet as that fed on corn' He also states, that when turned i-Vo an orchard where there are both - v . . ct and sour apples, hogs will cat about s much of one as of the other. In the Brattltborough Messenger, a correspondent says, 4 A man in' Guilford, conversing on tlits subject, said to me, 'There is a hog that will weigh over two hundred; I brought it home in July on my back. I have given it nothing but apples and a little id on for drink.' " 1 Sr.coxnLV, with regard to the cheapness of this kind of food. This may peril. ips he best determined by rah il lation. We will suppo-e that an orchaid is planted on an at re of ground, and that Hie trees stand at a di-t nice of twenty-five feet asunder, which wo-ild not be ton near w hen they are men h intended for the purpose. " This would give about seventy trees to the acre. the trees at twenty five crnls each. would co-t $18,75; and the expense of planting, suppo-itig each tree to cost ten cents each, would be 7 dollars. bile the trees are small, the land may ..... u .inn win pnxiuce a mum a before; and from the time they begin to near, they may be considered as paying for Ihe ground they occupy, by U)eir iruit. buch an orchaid, there-

fore, in a good bearing state, would cost as follows:

One acre of land, $50 00 18 75 7 00 Seventy trees, Planting, $75 75 The annual interest on this sum, at seven per cent, would be $5,30, which would be the actual expense of each crop.asthe pasture ofthe ground would pay for gathering. If each tree bears on average five bushels a year (this is a low estimate of the most productive varieties are selected.) the annual crop would be three bundled and fifty bushels, which according to the preceding calculation would be at the rate of one rent and a half bushel. Estimating the cost at double this, the clear profit in (he second experiment before stated. instead of hi ing $41,15, would actually be $74,45. One of our neighbors, last year, made forty dollars from a small orchard of ahout an acie, by fattening hogs, and reserved a large supply of apples for winter and other use. If instead of feeding potatoes to their hogs, farmers would sell then pof atoes. and purchase apples for this purpose, they would find it to their advantage, hi ordinary seasons, apples suitable for feeding may be had at one quarter the pi ice of potatoes, or even less, and their -uperior value has been already shown. It would be far pieferable, however, if (hey would raise their own apples, of kinds expressly for this purpose. (rcnesrr: Fanner. FALL & WINTER GOODS.
