THE best plan of feeding roots of any

mixing with wheat bran.
BECAUSE prices have been low and in
many cases hogs marketed have re-

for quitting the business.

ABOUT CULTIVATION.
1t Is Wise to Begin the Work Early and
to Do 1t Thoroughly.

to Do 1t Thoroughly.
Cultivation is given to kill out weeds,
to keep the soil fine and mellow so as
to induce good root growth, and tn
render plant food in the soil available
Tor use by the growing plants
Cultivation would, therefore, be nee
essary if there were no weeds, but it is
an exceptional case when keeping
down the weeds is not fully as impor-
tant as keeping the soil fine and mel
low.
Weeds are most easily destroyed
when small and this is one of the adj
vantages of early cultivation. In all
soils there is more or less latent plant
food that is not in an available condi-
ton to be used by the plants. Subject
ing the soil to the influence of light and
air aids materially to render this avail
able and the finer the filth and the
more frequently it is stirred the better
the opportunity for this action.
One very important item with all
plart> is to secure vigorous start to
gra,v. If in the early stages of growth
the liant, from any cause, becomes
situated, too often treatment will en-
tirely eradicate the effects. With a Wig
orous start a thrifty growth may be
readily maintained early. Thorough
cultivation is an important item in Sc
curing vigorous start to grow. The
object should be to keep the soil
fine and mellow at the least out
lay of time and labor. and the i'm
plement that will do this best is the one
that should be used. Generally it is
not necessary or best to stir the soil to
any considerable depth. Taking one
season with another deep blowing with
shallow. level cultivation will give the
best results, but in doing this it is i'm
portant that the guilty alton should be-
gin early. If properly prepared before
planting. it is less work to keep the
weeds down and the soil in a good con-
dition than to let the weeds get well
started and the soil run together and
then attempt to cultivate. Another adj
vantage of thorough work at the start
is that much better opportunity is Of
fered for root growth. The plants get
ting well esta blished early will be IN a
much better condition to withstand
drought, should one set in later on.
No set rules can be laid down as to
when the cultivation should begin, how
many times it should be repeated, how
long it should be kept up and what i'm
plement is the most economical to use.
The season, the character and condition
of the soil and the growth of the plants
must largely determine this. What
will be best at one time will not be
best at another. But one rule can al
ways be followed, and that is to begin
early and do the work thoroughly.-St
