A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says what should be read
by every farmer who raises hogs
"Nothing can be more penny-wise
than the practice of many of our
farmers of breeding from scrub or
grade boars. To the farmer who
breeds ten or more sows, thorough
bred boar Is cheaper at $50 than a
grade boar at nothing, even if the
hogs are to be tattened. A single
dollar on each pig would make up
the money, and am confident that
in many cases have seen difference
of five dollars each with the same
care between thoroughbred hogs and
those that have been bred haphazard.
On hundreds of farms to-day can be
found stock hogs year old that will
not weigh over eighty pounds each,
and that are not ten pounds heavier
than they were In December, and if
offered for sale now would not bring
over 81 cents per pound; and they
have probably consumed as much
grain as the breed of hogs that at the
same age weigh two hundred pounds
and are worth seven cents per
pound"

WHERE TO Put FARM BUILD

WHERE TO PUT FARM BUILD
1NGs.-The Germantown Telegraph,
in an article on this subject, says:
In view of the advancement that
has been made in the social con-
dition of farmers, there is no rea-
son why in locating buildings the
spot chosen might not be especially
in view to It's coutiguity to a neigh
borhood as not. A dozen farms Of
a hundred acres or more each
could be so arranged that the dwell
ings might all be within gunshot
Of one another. Even though there
were some disadvantages from the
labor point Of view, the nearness
to society would generally compen-
safe. Farmers, as we'll as other
classes, have learned that there are
many Ways in which they can CO.
operate to mutual advantage, and
this may just as we'll be borne in
mind when arranging the farm
buildings as not.

LINE AND SALT FOR WHEAT

LINE AND SALT FOR WHEAT.
At a meeting Of the Genesee
County IN. " Farmers Associa-
tion the following letter from John
johnson to H. T. Brooks was read :
Your letter was received two days
ago, but being now nearly eighty
four years old, [ find writing quite
a burden. I used lime from 1929
till 1914, at from forty to fifty
bushels per acre, and found large
profit on dry land, but no benefit
when wheat would heave out. In
1914 I lined sixteen acres, with
fifty bushels per acre, and [ never
saw wheat equal to that. Losing
all my wheat crop in 1888 by q
hail storm, and nearly all my wheat
crop in 184S, it crippled me in
credit and funds so that I lined
none since. I commenced tile
draining in 1888, and found that
was the starting point for success
full farming, and expended what I
could raise in that way. It took
me twenty years to finish my drain
ing. Lime is preservative from
rust. But no better than three
hundred pounds of salt to the acre.
Salt makes wheat ripen four or five
days earlier. It saved me an i'm
mense amount of wheat during the
midge years. In 1853 a farm join
ing mine gave seven bushels of
wheat to the acre, while mine aver
aged twenty-nine bushels. Salt
and draining did that. I think
lime will do no good on light loan
or sandy soils, but it makes stiff
soils friable, and they feed the
crops better.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1875-10-27

Four acres of good soil were meas
ured, two of them were nanured with
ordinary barnyard manure and two
with an equal quantity Of manure
from the covered shed. The whole
was planted with potatoes. The pro-
ducts of each acre were as follows:
Potatoes treated with barnyard ma
nure:
One acre produced tive hundred and
seveuty-two bushels.
One acre produced two hundred and
niuety-twp bushels.
Potatoes manured from covered
sheds:
Que acre produced four hundred and
forty-two bushels.
One acre produced four hundred and
seventy-one bushels. .
The next year the land was sown
with wheat, when the crop was as
follows
Wheat on land treated with barn
yard manure:
One acre produced forty-one bushels,
eighteen pounds (of sixty-one pounds
per busheD.
One acre produced forty-two bushels,
thirty-eight pounds (of sizty-one
pounds per busheD.
Wheat on manured land from COW
cred sheds:
One acre produced ifty-fve bushels,
FIVE pounds (of sixty-one pounds per
busheD.
One acre produced ffty-three BUSH
els, forty-seven pounds (of sixty-one
pounds per busheD.
The straw also yielded one-third
more upon the land fertilized with the
manure from the covered sheds than
upon that to which the ordinary ma
nure was applied.

VALUE OF COVERED MANUR

VALUE OF COVERED MANURE
At various times We have pointed out
to our readers the profits resulting
from covering manure instead Of allow
ing it to get soaked by the rains or
dried by the sun, as is generally done.
We have given this advice from what
we have actually seen. When rough
sheds have been built to cover the
manure heap, the crops fertillzed by
this pile have increased in productive
ness sufficient to pay for the shed cov-
ering the first year. We have never
seen any exact figures Of the proper
tionate value of covered and uncovered
manures. that we remember, until the
following, which We find by Lord
Kincaid, a Scotch landowner and
farmer They present the best state
ment possible, we think, Of the advan
tages Of the plan:

G1sH SoREs.-In half pint Of lime
water put one drachm Of calomel; and
be very particular in shaking the mix
ture up we'll before using, as the calo-
mel drops to the bottom. A teaspoon
full of laudanNm added to the above
quantity is an improvement. Dip a

DrSPOSENG OF CROPS.

Crops Of some kind every far
mer attempts to grow. If wise he
strives to obtain the highest posi-
Bile rate of production from his
land. And the man who succeeds
in obtaining uniformly large crops
is almost unanimously declared to
be a good farmer. But it seems to
me that something more than this
is required to give man the high
est position among farmers. For
after the crops are grown they must
in some way be used before they
will do him any good. But how to
use them to the best advantage is
question which it requires great
deal of wisdom to rightly decide,
and which different farmers answer
in different ways. Some prefer to
convert their crops directly into
money, and to accomplish this OBJ
ject, sell them as soon as possible.
Others feed their crops to various
kinds of animals, and thus convert
them into beef, pork and mutton,
and thus dispose Of them in this
form. Which is the best method :?
If the design Of the farmer is to
obtain as much money as possible
in short time, he will probably
meet with better success to sell his
crops than to feed them out. But
if his aim is to keep up his farm,
he will be very likely to feed a large
part of his crops. If everything is
sold from the farm and nothing is
returned, in a very short time the
land will show evident signs Of run
ming down.
Some situations and some soils
will resist this strain longer than
others, but even in the most favor
ed ones will in time wear out, when
the result is ruinous. Crops will
be very light for years, and large
quantities of fertilizers will be re-
quired to bring up the land to its
original fertility. The value of
crops grown without manure is
really so much money taken from
the real value Of the farm. For
''from nothing can nothing come,
and if there is no fertilizer pro-
vided, the crop must obtain much
of it's nourishment from the land.
When this is done, the land is
poorer by as much as the crop has
distracted from the soil. And it
frequently happens that where this
process is pursued, the money OBJ
tanned from the crops does not COM
pensate for the injury done to the
land. It is not profitable to wear
out the soil. A man ought always
leave the land as good as he found
it. But the community which sells
its crops will certainly make the
land decrease in value. Sicily is a
notabla exs mple. Once the granary
Of the Roman empire, now barren
and unfruitful. And this great
change is the result of a long con-
tinued policy Of sending eff nearly
all her grain and using but very
little at home. There seems to be
r, permanent way Of succeeding
in farming except by feeding
large proportion Of the crops and
returning the fertilizing material
which is made from them to the
land. It may be slow, but it is
certainly very sure way to reach
success on the farm.
