The Hogs Most Profitable Age.

The time has passed in this country
for raising hog and fatteningit after.

ing certain portion of the matter OBJ.
tanned by the digestion and assimila.
ton Of the food is used to support life.
1t is only the surplus over this which
increases the mass of the bOdy-which
is gain. The earlier certain amount
OF this gain is made the more profit
able on account Of the less the amoul t
required to support life. Hencev
hog should fatten at the same time it
is raised. This surplus should con.
stantly exist. fit does the hog will
have obtained marketable age at nine
months. If kept over winter it must,
to greater or less extent, be raised
and fattened afterward, The period Of
fattening should equal the life OF the
hog; but ifkept over winter this cannot
be the case. From all this it clearly
appears that the most profitable age to
butcher a hog is at about nine months /;
that is, an early spring pig kept grow
ing and fattening on good pasture dur

and then marketed, is the most profita.

The Newspaper as an Educator.

The difficulty in getting children to

gent parents. We mean books that
are beneficial; those that are not are
often too easy Of access and too eagerly
consulted. Yet the daily and weekly
home paper is eagerly read and goes
the rounds of the family, if for no 9TH
er reason, because it contains matters
Of local interest. The wife reads it
and thus enlarges her view Of the out.
side world and its doings, from which
she would otherwise in many cases be
wholly excluded or at best get an i'm.
perfect knowledge.
To the mechanic, business man and
merchant, it is a necessity. The news.

every department of industry and Of
trade and commerce, in fact, every

When to Sell.


american FARMER.
Many farmer, net satisfied with
current rates for his products, holds
without definite ideas about chances ;
without informing himself what inhu.
ences are exerted, to advance or de.
press prices, simply waiting, Micaw.
ber.like, for something to turn up.
There is no wisdom in this course.
When the markets are steady, with
general tendencies upward, and he has
full understanding OF the situation, he
may wait without mourning risks, that
is to say, he may await his convenience
for the delivery-take his own time
when it will best fit into the general
work. But when prices fuctuate ma.
terially, he will do better to "catch
on" as the street phrase runs, when tie
price has suitable margin OF profit.
That for him is the time, while to use
it will be very likely to put his pro
ducts at the bottom. Market reports,
made up fairly, not in the interest Of
buyer or seller, but rather to repre-.
sent the true condition of affairs, be.
come safe guides to sound judgement,
and such reports are accessible to all
farmers.

MortgaEed Farms.

There have been many cases where
industrious young men have cleared
the mortgage from the farm before they
reached the thirties. Let one case
serve to illustrate many. A young
man whom We intimately know, bred on
a farm, who, after he was Of age,
W'rked at the carpenters trade, thus
earning money enough to stock farm,
purchased one in good grazing town,
married girl who had been brought
up on dairy farm, and they went to
work together. The farm would keep
about fifteen cows and an OK team to
do the farm work. One drawback at
the beginning was that he had to build
a barn the first season he occupied the

Upon What Success Depends.

The success of the farmer depends on
the skill he applies. The cost Of beef
begins with the seed of the crop, and
not the breed of the stock. Seed.
breeding is as much an art as stock
breeding. The cost Of all animal life
hinges on plant life, ard good seed is
founded in correct breeding. The law
of variation enables the farmer to ele.
vate the standard in vegetable life.
Never is stuck breeder successful I'm.
less he fixes the standard in advance.
First we should breed for vigor, second
for quality, and third for quantity. The
man who does not breed an animal for
vigor and constitution will certainly
fail, for animals are susceptible to dis.
ease, and 80 with plants. Therefore
you must breed for vigor. Millions
are annually lost in the lack of care in
the selection Of seed. There is quality
in plants, and as civilization grows old
err it grows more particular about these
qualities. Pollett went into wheat
field and selected the best typocal head,
from which he took the best typocal
seed, and planted it for series Of
years, establishing Pollett's pedigree
wheat, increasing the size Of the head
from four to six and three-guarter
inches, and the number of seed from
forty.seven to 1853.
Corn is one Of our grand crops. In
selecting yorr seed take it from an ear
on the lower joint Of the stalk. This
is law Of Importance in the tillsge Of
soil which should be followed. Long
continued in.bre eding impairs the
vigor, but the standard must be FIRST
established by in.breeding. The wheat
of England won't make the maccaroni
the Italians eat, and facts won't enable
me to say whether Northern wheat or
Missouri wheat, planted year after
year, is best. The wheat of Cam.
bridge, England, carried a long dis
lance, yielded better than in the Cam
bridge district, which is supposed to be
due to the change of soil and climate,
Potato growers are unanimous in the
belief that a change Of soil and climate
is desirable. Large potatoes weld bet
ter than small, and twO.eyed better
than one, and three.eyed better than
two, though there is much opposition
to this theory, the press generally hold
ing to the contrary. Turnip seed
planted year after year from pool
turnips would detract from the vigor o
product, but would produce turnips a
long as the seed terminated from
turnips, be it good or bad. The con
trary Of this iP pretty generally believ
ed, but it is untrue.-Prof. Sanburn

Examining Into Land Frauds.

Washington, Aug. ia dispatch from
Aberdeen, Oak, was published recently
finding fault with the land department
for Investigating land eutries after final
proof. The report SAID in substance
that after the register and receiver had
taken fnal proof in q case the entry
ought not to be disturbed by special
agents investigating it. The commiss-
ioner of the general land office takes ex-
ception to this, and in an interview with
your correspondent expressed his opln-
ion very clearly as to where the jurisdic-
ton of tue land office ends. He said:
The question has been 30 decided by
both the courts and the departments,
and it has been so long the
law that the department retains luris-
diction over the entry until patent
issues, that 1t ought to be considered
settled by this tune, and there ought to
be no further cavil about it, We pro.
ceed upon the idea tina, the department
has jurisdiction over on entry until q
patent issues, SO that if man makes his
final proofs upon fraudulent entry he
acquires no rights. His entry being
fraudulent, he has no land to sell, and
consequently uO putClusSA Saa OoJ adJ
of him. Persons wishing to purchase
should exercise ordinary prudence. und
look at the land before he buys, and see
whether the law has been complied with
or not. If 1t is he can buy after final
proof. If it has not the settler has no
rights and there is nothing to sell or to
buy. Spectators are so anxious to secure
large bodies OF land that they buy with
out examination, and consequently run
the risk of entries being examined and
cancelled. do not think, if they do
not exercise common prudence, they
should complain. Honest settlers do
not object to these examinations and
cancellation Of fraudulent entries. It is
in the interest of honest settlers to have
the lands settled by men who intend to
live upon them and not by men who buy
them simply for speculation. Specula.
tors are making great fight on the
agents, simply because they want to buy
these lands. The men who settle up the
country and live there are not making
any fight on the honest settlers because
| it is to their interest"
