THE FARMING WORLD.

SOME poultrymen grow cabbages
solely so as to have them to feed to
their laying hens during the winter 1t
pays them and it will pay to initiate
them Don't be afraid of having too
large crop Of cabbage heads; the pigs
will take all that the family and the
hens fail to consume.
DO NOT begin to feed corn to hogs too
soon. There will be some refuse yet,
such as green weeds, grass, etc, which
may be utilized. After the cold weather
begins is the time to commence feeding
corn. In the meantime, all the waste
material suitable for the purpose should
be put to good use in the pig pen.
OUR potato crop is not sufficient for
our requirements for the coming year,
while Canada has more than her people
can consume. A crop that falls below
the demand should be paying one,
and with the use of more fertilizers
greater yields per acre, and good keep
ing varieties, the potato growers have
"a bright future before them.
EXPERIMENTS made for several sea-
sons demonstrate that it will cost no
more to raise pig, attain a heavy
weight and produce pork that is inter
spersed with lean and fat than to pro-
duce pork that is almost wholly COM
posed of fat. by feeding u variety OF
food, including corn, more pork and OF
better quality will result than when
only corn is fed.
a WONDERFUL improvement mt has been
made in the varieties of tomatoes dur.
ing the past five years They are now
smooth ON the surface, and are also
very solid compared with old varieties.
If improvement progresses as rapidly
in the future as in the past with toma
toes. they will at some day contain but
a few seeds and be As solid-heshed as
apples.
lT is sot now matter of distance
from market, but the time in reaching
it. 1t has been truthfully claimed thai
n farmer living on poor road, ter
miles from market, is really a greater
distance away than the farmer living
two hundred miles away, but who Ia.

time and cost Of reaching the market
that adds to the cost of the products.

How TO salt Pork.

In sailing pork do not use the old
pork barrel without a thorough cleans
ing. This may be done by a washing
and soaking with water made strong
with the common washing soda, which
is cheap. and can be found at almost
any grocery store. A better way, If
the barrel has been in use long, and if
1t has ever had meat or brine become
tainted in it, will be to fill it full of
dry earth, andI allow it to stand a
week or more, during which time the
earth will have absorbed much of the
grease and all of the odor that may
have penetrated into the wood. Then
the soda washing will cleanse it thor
oughly.-Farm and FireSide.

FRUITFUL IMPROVEMENT.
How 1t lays to Change Country Places
from Chaos to Charm.

Thrice worthy he who beauties his
home and farm for the sake of SELF, ol
family, of neighborhooa and of the
passing stranger. Few realize the eff.
feet OF symmetry and beauty in nature
on tho life of individual and community,
unless by travel they have had oppor-
tunity for comparison, or have noted
the good work accomplished in towns
morals indirectly by application of the
laws of order, neatneSs and ornament.
1t may be a village improvement asso-
citation was organized; perhaps one
man from an advanced quarter of the
globe bought a place and beautitied it,
or resident awoke to the prevailing
deprayity and ordered himself to arise
and enjoy the glorious things wise
Creator has put within reach. Some
where beginning was made in chang
ing places once chaos into present
charm, the same as in forming char
acter strong in rectitude. 1t may be
that the reader is the one person on
whom the destiny of his town depends.
Though perhaps living in ungrateful
desolation, he may make beginning,
however small With unfaltering de-
termination as the months pass, the
man of enterprise will gradually
emerge as leader Of reform or an in
citing element to it. Nor are public inn
provemeut and the enhancement OF
values in property which 1t naturally
y1ranalao with hai,rh fn I'D
ethics, the only goal. There is more
than possibility, yes, strong probable
ity, that the fortune and consequent
comforts of the refined creator of EN-.
bellishments may increase.
Has anyone failed to note the modern
tendency of the wealthy in commercial
centers toward rural ownership of real
estate? The movement is of compare
lively recent origin, yet in the few
years past note the increase in volume
and its effects in many places. Yet
who ever saw u city man buy in a neg.
lected, disorderly locality, reached by
bad roads, much less "a rundown farm
half hidden by brush, weeds, rubbish
and general ugliness? Having sold to
advantage, the individual of taste and
improvement can in less than decade
repeat the process by investing in the
same vicinity. After beginning, sue
ceedlng sales will be less difficult, until
genuine demand is established. Once
an urban family or two become owners
their wealth and influence will be
added to the momentum of progress
Leaving unspoken any sentence rela,
tive to the refinement and culture these
persons may infuse, has the presence
of such, with desire for the good
things of life and means to pay for
them, proved detrimental to producers
in any community? l am acquainted
with many whose weekly supply OF
broilers, butter, eggs, spring lamb,
canned and preserved fruits, etc, is OBJ

where. The repertoire Of music, from
the dawn Of the art to the present day,
owes simply nothing to her. Consider
ing the time Shs has spent over it, her
failure to evolve new harmonies, or
even new melodies, is one Of the ex-
traordinary enigmas in the history Of
the fine arts.
Where, IN ancient times or in modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chef-d ouvre

the negative answer to such question
seems simply this: That in the higher
