FACTS FOR FARMERS.

BI-sULPHIDE of carbon is death to the
grain weevil.
A STRONG decoction of tobacco is a
good thing for lice on stock.
THE winter promises to be long and
severe, which means more feed for the
stock.
If evergreens stand where the water
will get round them and freeze in win
ter, do something to prevent it.
IT requires careful, shrewd manage
ment to make the farm anywhere near
paying investment in these times.
The apple crop is short and the
quality is not very good. Apples, it
would seem, would bring good price
before spring.
II is all nonsense to say that only
poor farmers declare that farming does
not pay. 1t can't pay at present prices
OF farm products.
AMERICAN consuls in Europe have
been instructed by the government to
ascertain how the foreign markets for
American wheat can be improved.
The boy who intends TO be a farmer
should be constant reader OF agri-
cultural newspapers and books and
should become student, when possi-

weaving Pigs w,thou. Milk.

Brown. IAN old farmer asked me IL
young pigs could ne weaned and kept
thrifty without milk, and told him ]
thought slop could be made with bran
and oilmeal that would be both palnt-
able and nutritious. Last spring had
nineteen pigs and but little milk, and
all we had was needed in the family
and to raise calf; so made slop for
the pigs with bran and oilmeal and
never grew more thrifty lot, and they
sold at 145 days old at the top prices for
big pork. If any farmer will try the
experiment of stirring one pound OF
old.process oilmeal into q ten-quart pail
of boiling water and see how near II
comes TO making mush, then add this
to ten gallons of slop made from bran,
and see what a good body it gives it. he
will begin to get an idea of the value of
oilmeal as pig food. Bran is an ex-
cellent food for any growing animal.
but alone it does not make good slop,
particularly the coarse bran MADE by
the roller mills. The oilmeal added
makes it far more palatable and the
pigs will eat more of it."

heart sank. "Therc will come a great
SNOWFALL" she cried, desparingly, "and
our father and mother will be unable
to come home and we shall starve to
death" AT this Abial began singing,

the floor of the cabin.
One thing they had in plenty and
that was wood, and they kept a contin.

the live Goals far out on the rock until
it was warm for several yards from the
fireplace. Here they sat and talked and

actually laughing. and then she sighed.

How Many bees Make . pound1

The question is answered in recent
number Of the American Agriculturist.
Careful weighing shows that an ordi-
nary bee, not loaded, weighs the one
6ve-thousandth part of o pound. SO
that it takes five thousand bees, not
loaded, to make pound. But the
loaded bee, when he comes in fresh
from the fields and flowers loaded with
honey or bee bread, weighs nearly
three times more, that is to say, he car
ries nearly twice his own weight. OF
loaded bees there are only about !, 500
in the pound. An ordinary hive OF bees
contains from four to five pounds OF
bees, or between twenty Thousand and
twenty-five thousand individuals; but
some swarms have double this weight
andsnumber of bees.
