Raising Hogs.

An old farmer says it costs nearly
double as much per pound to raise a
hog weighing 500, as it does one that
only weighs 200 pounds. His idea is,
and he gives the figures to support 1t
in communication to the Iova Home
steal, that the profit to be derived by
farmers i'll raising pork, is in selling
the hogs when they reach what may
be called fair size, or get their
growth ; if kept after that time, every
pound in weight, added by feeding
corn, costs more than it will fetch in
market. It is true that large hogs
weighing 500 or 600 pounds will sell
for more per pound than those weigh
ing only 200 or 300, but seldom or
never for enough to pay the extra cost
of keeping and feeding, especially
where corn can be sold at anything
like fair price for cash.

Direction Of Rows of Wheat

An old wheat raiser, who is gener-
ally successful, said in conversation
the other day that in his experience
he found it best to drill his wheat east
and west instead of north and south.
His argument was that in the winter
and early spring when we have thaw-
ing weather during the day, and freez-
ing at nights, wheat drilled east and
west would not heave out or winter kill,
as would that drilled north and south.
He asserts that the sun being in the
south, and the wheat stalks being be-
tween the ridges made by the drill
hoes, the sides of the ridges would
thaw out while the north sides, being
shaded, would not thaw out so much,
and the wheat roots would not be so
liable to be killed. If drilled north
and south the sun would shine alike
on both sides of the ridge, thawing it
out and causing it to spew up, throw
the wheat up and letting the roots be
exposed to the freezing at night, hence
he had always, if possible, run his
drill east and west.
Again, he said. that in the early
spring and summer, when the wheat
began growing, it received more bene-
fit from the SUMS rays drilled in this
way than if drilled north and south,
consequently the yield on fields drilled
east and west were better than if drill
led in any other direction. His argu-
ment impressed me so that conclud-
ed to try the experiment of sowing two
plants adjoining each other, the quail
ity of land being as nearly alike as
possible, sowing one and one-forth
bushels to the acre on corn land that
had been plowed we'll and kept reason
ably clean Of weeds when the corn
was growing, and thoroughly harrow
ed before drilling. I have never be-
fore taken any notice of which way
drilled.

Young Gunners.

The August Century talks TO the
young shots as follows:
'In shooting at an incoming bird,
let him be out of sight and just below
the rib of your gun at the moment of
firing. At bird going over head.
wait till he passed we'll over. then
shoot under him. At straightaway
shots hold little high, so that you
just catch glimpse of the bird over
your barrels.
1n shooting at cross shots, it should
be understood that the velocity of an
ounce Of No. 8 shot, driven with three
drains of powder, is near to 900 fee,
per second. In that second a Bob
White, if under full Roadway, will go
SO feet, if We estimate the velocity OF
his flight so low as only mile min
ute. If he is flying directly across
your line of sight and thirty yards of.
the shot will take e-tenih of second
the bird has gone over eight and eight
tenths feet. So, if We should fire a
snap shot directly at cross-fying birds,
thirty yards distant, the centre of the
cloud of shot would fall about nine
feet ahead of him. To some sports
men, nine feet may seem great dis
lance to 'hold ahead on a cross-fying
bird thirty yards away, but not to
those who have noticed attentively the
relations of the line of their aim TO
the position of the bird at the very mo
ment they hear the report of the gun.
Also estimations of distances in the air
beside small and quickly moving OBJ
ject are very unreliable, and often when
the sportsman thinks he has fired only
one foot ahead of bird he has really
held ahead three feet. Let some one
suspend horizontally in the air an un-
familiar object that must be distant
from fence rails and other things
whose dimensions you know, and then
guess its length. You will, after a
few trials, be satisfied that the estima-
ton of actual lengths at thirty yards
is very loose guess work.

Selecting Seed Corn.

The time and manner of selecting
seed corn is doubtless we'll known to
most farmers, as it should be, but it
is not practiced to the extent that the
importance of good seed demands. The
seed which is to produce the future
crop should be of the very best quail
ty. The multiplicity of other work
very often causes the proper saving of
seed to be overlooked until too late.
after which the farmer must do the
best he can and put up with an infer
ior quality.
Last spring much time and money
were expended by farmers to procure
good seed corn, and then very often
they did not get it. Much of what
was represented as good had no vitali-
ty at all, and never terminated, while
some made but feeble stand, thus
ieopardizing the crop. To avoid like
trouble expense and risk, observe the
following rules for selecting seed corn.
Do not let them get out of mind unit
the work is accomplished. Il farmers
will follow this course yearly the crop
will gradually increase. Great crops
can seldom be raised from stalks hav-
ing but one ear. The carelessness oil
farmers in selecting their seed corn is
one reason why the average yield is SC
small.
1. Pick the ears that set nearest to
the ground.
3. Those ears having short foot
stalk.
8. From stalks having the most ears
Generally but one ear on stalk is
proper for seed, and that usually the
second ear. If the first ear is as good
take that.
4. Never take from stalk having
but one ear, if stalks can be found
having two or more ears.
5. Always take ears that filled out
full to the end, and that run beyond
the husk, if such can be had.
6. Lay up four or five times as much
as will probably be wanted.
z. When you come to plant, before
Smelling, break every ear and see if the
pith of the cob is dried up and hollow
for if it is not, the corn is not fully
ripe. Then shell off the butt and tiE
till you come to the long grains
