any good fertilizer; include plaster and
ashes in the list. --F'arns, Field and

-"It is wise person who knows
what to do next" And the wise farmer

lar small jobs that must be thrust in, ir
spite of the heavy work-3d. Wet
weather work-4th. Off season work
9th. Necessary repairs and better

The best time to apply manure tt
| grass lands depends somewhat upor
circumstances. AS rule, late in thu
fall or just before the ground freezes il
the best time; if hauled out in winter
and spread upon the snow, very goot
results may follow, provided the lane
is not so sloping as that when the snow
melts, the manure is not washed away
If hauled out and spread in the spring
and dry weather follows, the manur,
is like to be so dried up and hurne'
that the results will not be satisfactory
but If heavy rains follow we may ex
pect quite the reverse.

should be fed barley and oatmeal morn
ing and evening, and at noon skin

Eight porlzers will consume about
sack of meal per week. With sucl
feeding and a run on clover pigs de
velop very rapidly, and are alway
very healthy, and when old enough
will fatten very rapidly.
