LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The following swine notes we repub-
lish from the columns of the Nebraska
Farmer:
JUST what plan the pig-grower shall
follow must be determined by his loca-
ton, the kind of food at command and
the distance from market but it is al
ways a safe plan to get them on the
market as soon as possible.
THE man who believes the "swiIl
pail" to be the best breed is in error, as
well as the man who depends entirely
on the fine quality of blood to make his
hogs fine Better combine the two
fine blood and the swill pail.
THE SOW that will not thrive we'll on
good grass when not sucking pigs is not
a good one, and the farmer who will re-
tain such one when better ones are
so abundant deserves i'll success in his
efforts at pig breeding.
The man who brings fall pigs to grass
weighing only about 100 pounds should
draw heavy line across this part of his
farm operations and abandon it entirely
till he can adopt a more rational and
profitable system of feeding.
WHEN grass is acknowledged as king
and treated as such in our pig growing
operations we will have pork produced
at cheaper rate and of finer quality.
The cost of labor in the production of a
crop of grass is merely nominal as COM
pared with that of crop of grain.

roots two inches or more in length
These roots, if numerous, double the
labor required to destroy them, COM
pared with those shown in Fig. /. But
the steel rake and the slant harrow will
do good work with them.
Fig. represents the weeds still more
reduced in size, half a month later,
when they have reached a height of six
inches or foot The crop has already
suffered largely from their crowding and
shade, and the labor required for them
was at least ten times as great as for
those in Fig. 2, and about twenty times
as great as in Fig. l. This difference
has been tested by actual experiment.
Two given areas of soil were measured
off for prompt raking, and another equal
area assigned for the six-inch weeds,
and the time required measured by the
watch. Two square yards were hand
somely and thoroughly dressed with a
steel rake in twenty seconds by the
mode represented in Fig. /; and one
square yard in forty seconds according
to Fig, q The work was repeated
every week for month and half, max

been stirred for planting; but within a
week it shonld be stirred again to kill
the young sproutlng weeds. With small,
tender plants, the small harrow or
cultivator may be passed between the
rows of field crops; with large, strong
rooted plants, like corn, the slant-tooth
harrow may be passed over the whole
broadcast, pulverizing and destroying
the small, sprouting weeds, but doing
no harm to the strong corn plants,
whether before or after they have
reached the light. In the gardens the
steel rake may do the same work in the
narrow bed as the horse harrow per-
forms in the field.

to explain our meaning. Fig. repre-.

after the soil has been stirred. If the
weather is warm and the soil moist,
they will often sprout an inch in four
or five days, and then is the time to
pulverize finely an inch or two of the
whole surface of the soil. In doing it
every weed is broken, crumbled and
destroyed. A double benefit results
from it, in the breaking of the earth and
giving to the coming crop mellow sur.

We've heard of a woman

to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep or

Those Cucumbers.

Every year we have complaints--gen-
orally from amateurs-about the trouble
of growing cucumbers. The bugs de-
stroy them, and the growers give up
the battle. There is just one complete
easy way of growing cucumbers, and
the Rural has several times stated it
1t is to plant late. II the seed is planted
about the 5th OF June the vines will not
likely be disturbed. If planted about
the 10th, they certainly will not be.
Unless cucumhers are grown for the
market, and it is desirable to get them
in as early as possible, this late
planting is just as good as earlier plant
ing. Planted about the 5th of June the
cucumbers will begin to form by the
middle of July, and we get rid of all the
trouble and anxiety about the destruc-
ton OF the vines. AS all very well
know several remedies have been rec
commended TO prevent insect depreda-
ton upon the vines, but none Of them
are absolutely sure.-WesteFn Rural
