Sheep and Swine.

NEVER disturb farrOwing SOW Um-
less strictly necessary,
PROVIDE separate place in which
to feed the young pigs.
LET the tails alone, they are no
dctriment to the pigs growth.
A SOW must be well cared for that
bears two litters Of pigs annually.
The pig has small stomach and
therefore requires condensed food.
ALWAYS see that the troughs are
cleaned out before feeding the pigs.
MANY weed pests may be DESTROYED
by giving the hogs chance at them.
USE long, low trough for pigs, and
nail Stats across it SO none can stand
in it.
LET the brood sow have her free
dom until within few days OF far
rowing.
THE first six weeks of pigs life
often determines its value for pork
making.
In the aggl egate better prices can
be realized for the wool IL it il care
fully sorted and graded before send
ing to market
PROPERLY handled, u flock ot sheep
can spare as many as il will ocSt to
keep them anc yet leaves as many as
were frs started with.
WHILE sheep will not pay the best
profit every year, taking one year
with another, they will average fully
up with any other class.
YOUNG lambs should not be allowed
to get wet, at least until the weather
becomes warm end settled, and even
then il is better to avoid.
PROPERLY managed sheep will re-
store the worst of the wornout pas
lures to more than their original fer
tility and the renoyatiOns will be
positive.
HILLY lands, not well adapted for
cattle, will carry sheep with profit
And upon such lands they are most
apt to be healthy and easily kept In
good condition.

Truck Farming.

Some of our most successful truck
ers work less than twenty acres of
ground, support large family, and
put money in the savings bank every
year. Let me state what one Ger
man family raised on eighteen acres:
Four acres were set ia timothy, which
gave him hay for his horse and cows,
the two cows being pastured on the
roadside in summer. The refuse
vegetables fed three pigs, which were
killed late ia the tall. Fruits, flow
ers, celery, and onions were retailed
by the wife. going TO market twice q
week. The gross sales amounted to
$943; allowing for his own work and
THAT Of his family, $400; manure
bought, 500, and extra expenses,
which were less than 500, the place
gave net income of over $300-not
counting the vegetables and fruit
eTten from the place, nor the eggs,
chickens, milk, and butter consumed
by the family. This was DeUUer
showing than many 2c0-acre farm
could present. Land is only valuable
when well worked, constantly cropped,
and the crops produced sold at retail
direct TO the consumers. Baltimore

Pastry Flour.

We hear great deal about pastry
flour, and one writer, who claims to be
an authority on matters connected with
cooking, declares that pastry made
from ordinary -four is as indigestible as
wrought-iron nails"
1t is question that might interest a
large number OF people what our fore
fathers and foremothers did when they
ate pastry made Of ordinary wheat -four,
which was used for generations-long,
indeed, before such thing as pastry
-four was ever heard of. They seem to
have lived TO god old age-many OF
them at least did-and flourished won
derfully well, even though they ate pie 6
and cakes made from what this writer
calls indigestible stuff.

nineteenth century people to declare
that standard articles and dishes OF the
country all wrong, If not absolute abom-
nations. II some of these people would
use little more common sense in some

would have much more respect for what

no Get high Price. for Fruit.

When fruit Is glut IN the mar
ket, the grower should have some
means available for storing it
till later in the season when prices
will be more remunerative. Peaches
and such fruit would be very salable
at Christmas time, and early cherries
in September. 1t is easily within the
reach OF fruit growers to master the
market and hold their surplus when
prices are too low. 1t can be done
by cold storage, securing a tempera-
ture of 40 TO 32 degrees. American
experience fayors temperature of

grees gives the best results In the

Lumpy jaw or actinomycosis has

among stockmen, first, as to whether
IL was contagious and second, as to
whether 1t could be cured. Promi-

men hold that IL is caused by germ

DR.. Norgaard of the United States
bureau of animal industry has tried
the same treatment on steer affect

should depend somewhat upon the
