HINTS FOR FARMERS.
Fattening Piss.—Swine that are fattening will do better with soaked corn than with dry. Oorn steeped in water for twelve hours has been found more economical to feed than when ground into meal. The animals are sooner filled, the food digests better, and consequently the feeding is finished more expeditiously, and feed, which is money, is saved. The Value of Gbooming.-—Grooming, or cleanliness of the skin, is not a mere matter of glossy or staring coat; it is essential to the health of domesticated animals. When it is borne in mind that the skin is one of the principal organs by which refuse material is thrown off from the body, the necessity of keeping the pores or little drains clear will become apparent. When they become silted up, the lungs and kidneys are overtasked, and hence disease of both these organs.
