HERE AND THERE.

The English farmer turns his sheep
into the turnip field to gather the crop
for themselves. He thus saves the labor
of handling Them and at the same time
gets the land well manured
The difference between sharp
pillow and dull one may not appear
very important, but it may make the
difference in labor of three horses COM
pared with two. When the implements
are in proper order less power is re-
quired
Every farmer should begin with at
least a few live stock, gradually in
creasing the number until the capacity
of the farm has been reached, but I'M
der no circumstances should farmer
undertake to keep more stock than lie
can properly and comfortable care for
the year round.
"A few well-bred and well-cared- for
live stock will pay on any farm. But
it is the worst sort of economy to try to
raise live stock without hay, prepared
with plenty of feed and shelter to carry
them through the winter. No farmer
however, can make money by feeding
sheltering and caring for list of
scrubs.
The approaching era of small farms
means an increased number of farm
owners fewer tenants and, relatively,
fewer hired hands. 1t also means that
the farms will be better cared for, as
the owner will take a greater pride in
keeping up the land and buildings than
the hired man or tenant would.
The Importance of barn cisterns
should not be lost sight of. They pro-
vide drink for the stock and also pre-
vent water from the roofs filtering
through the manure, which takes away
its most valuable fertilizing element.
The water may be made pure by the
use of filter, and it is better for the
use of stock than water from well.
Many of the current run Of papers
have had good deal to say this winter
about feed for idle horses, but few
farmers can afford to have such things.
They can no more do so than to have
idle men, Both are absorbents OF profit
which no sensible man, able and will
ing to plan and contrive, and therefore
to run farm successfully can or will
tolerate on his place.s

To Get Fine Figs.

1t is not every one that has the refuse
of the dairy to feed pigs, and yet many
so situated may desire to have we'll
grown and fat spring pigs when killing
time in the fall comes. How can they
do this? A writer for the Rural New
Yorker says one secret for doing this is
to have the SOW an excellent feeder and
in thriving condition when narrowing
time comes This gives strong, thrifty
pigs, which need not be expected from
a scantily-fed and weakly SOW. After
narrowing, she must be fed literally
that she may furnish good supply
of nourishing milk Tor her pigs. The
writer referred TO recommends one
part of old process oil meal, six parts
of shorts and three parts Of bran mixed
with scalding water after the mixture
has stood twelve hours A little salt
should be put into the drinking water
and teaspoonful of saltpcter once
week. Feed the above ration twice each
day, morning and evening, and at noon
give liberal feed of well soaked corn.
Give also some grass, or, better, clover.
Wean the pigs when ten or twelve
weeks old. He concludes: Continue
the same treatment for the pigs, and
my word for it, if the breed is good,
pigs dropped the fin st of March will
weigh gross on November 300 pounds.
Some of mine have weighed 400"

The St. Louis.

One of the new war ships is to be named
after St. Louis. This is appropriate. The
vessels ought to bear the names OF cities
instead of Indian names that mean nothing
and convey to foreign nations the idea that
we are still vexed with the Indian problem
and our cities liable at any time to be at
tackled by savage foes. If the ships are
named after our vigorous and growing
western towns, foreigners will learn that
the United States is no longer a wilder.
ness. In this respect there is goad deal
in a name. This fact is equally true OF
that wonderful remedy RElD'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. This
remedy alleviates the pain that ensues
when any member of the excretory sys.
TEN is attacked by removing the cause OF
the disease. Most of the maladies that
attack the lungs involve the kidneys as
well. If an opiate be taken the cause OF
the trouble is not reached for while an
opiate will relieve pain it will not cure dis
ease. This is admitted by every physi-
clan. RElD'S GERMAN COUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE incites the kidneys to
action, relieves the lungs from the pres
sure caused BY the congested blood vessels
and assists the digestion. Get it of any
dealer. The small bottles are twenty-five
cents, the large ones fifty cents.

ACTION OF THE ELEMENTS.
The Relative Value of Frost and Snow to
the Soil.

The Relative Value of Frost and Snow to
the Soil.
1t is common belief amongst farm
ers of the older school that snow has a
manurial effect upon land, and that as
a natural consequence, a good harvest
follows severe winter. There can be
little doubt that severe winter
meteorologically is material advan-
tage to the farmer, but modern research
has rather discredited the belief that
snow is of much value as a manure If,
indeed, it can be called manure at all.
Some idea OF the supposed manurial
value of snow may be gathered from
fact that rain and snow together bring
down only about one-sixth part of the
amount of nitrogen required for the
support of growing crops in the course
of the year. What part of the total
amount of rain and snow together,
then, does the snow alone form? Al
lowing it to be of equal value to rain
as regards the quantity of nitrogen it
contains, the proportion it bears to the
rain at once proves it to be Of in
finitesimal Importance as source of
plant food, or of nourishment to the
soil.
Frost is of infinitely greater use to
| the farmer than snow. It's action on
the soil is of course very different, and
/ probably most hurtful to young plants,
to which covering of soft snow is
often means of protection; but, COM
| ing in its right season, frost is power
full aid to the pulverization of the soil,
lessening the labor and pressure of
spring work. On heavy clay land es-
pecially, the effect of frost is most
beneficial, while that of fresh snow, on
the other hand, does more harm than
good, save to prevent the young wheat
from being frost bitten in the case of
exceptionally severe FROST such as ac-
companied the dense fogs in the early
winter of 1890, and first six weeks of
1881, which is fortunately Of rare oc-
| currence, Rural World.

LARGE OR SMALL BONE.
An Important Question for Swine Breed
ers to Consider.

An Important Question for Swine Breed
ers to Consider.
It is almost universal demand with
American farmers purchasing males
for breeding purposes that the animals
must have heavy bones. heproducers
of the pure-bred stock have made it
the ruling effort for years to reduce the
size of the bone, while the farmers call
for heavy boned animals. Now the
question presents itself, have the breed
ers gone too far in their efforts TO re-
duce the amount of bone, or do the
farmers fail to appreciate the benefits
arising from small bones? We believe
the mistake is with the mass of farm
ers The large, coarse bone is not
always the strongest, but rather
the fine, perfectly-formed one.
Breeders understand that a hog
can be made ready for market at
seven to nine months old, and for mar
ket at this age the bone must be fine.
This is necessary, that the animal have
proper symmetry in form, for the coarse,
angular boned animal must be fatted at
this age. The trouble with the mass OF
farmers lies in the fact that they have
not grasped the advanced ideas of the
breeder that hog should be ready for
the market at not more than nine
months old. Another matter that the
farmers do not properly understand as
yet Is how to keep the bone that they
desire. They purchase coarse bons
male because they think their sows are
q little too fAsboned, with the result
