BOILED FEED EOB PIGS Although the feeding value of potatoes 9 undoubted, they ciunot be successfully led to pigs unless the.yi.Mffl jfirst >copltb.d. rad roots are more palatable if cooked md meal added.

BACON-CJJRING PICKLE Professor 1/. -M. Douglas, lecturer on the meat industry at the College of Agriculture, Edinburgh/ Writes tb£t| the following recipe for pickle is now recogniaedio and adopted throughout the bacoh-curing' tradO ; :W-Take 55lbs! salt, 51bs saiti^be,;/|>lbs sugar, andj 6lbs preservatrylj c Make this quantity! up to 20 gallons, -and boil in ;an ordinary copper until, the scum ceases to rise; the hoil^ \g is proceeding and then allow; ithe ckle to cool. It should be of the( ) temperature as that of the room in which the curing is being carried on, . before being put to use. This pickle . should, testabout 100 deg. by the Dopglas salinometer, and if it does, not reach that density it should be fortified by a little-«lean salt."' Any quantity of pickle can be .made from this recipe, pimply /by dividing or multiplying the figures; but the rule in making the pickle according td these proportions should not be de parted from; • —* Medicines that aid nature are always mo3t successful. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It allays the cough, aids expectoration, relieves the Junes, opens the secretions, thereby a : liutr nature in throwing off a cold ahd r toiiug. the' system to a healthy condition. For sale by J. B.
