Feedinp Young Hogs.

A writer in the Wisconsin Farmer pre-
scribes the following feed for young hogs
Where the skim-milk and buttermilk are
unavailable and where corn is the only
feed the difficulties that grow out of its
exclusive feeding may be obviated by US
ing oil meal in the proportion of one to
six by weight, with the corn. One of the
best rations we have ever used is that of
oats and corn, half and half by weight,
ground together, to which is added one
sixth as much oil-meal as corn. This
when soaked twelve hours is exceedingly
grateful to the pig, and young pigs will
make an exceedingly rapid growth on
this diet, especially when supplemented
with frst-class clover pasture. A little
shelled corn is always a kind of desert
to pig under fifty pounds, and should
be given, if for nothing else than the
pleasure of seeing him eat it. AS the
pig increases in size, more carbonhy-
drates are needed, and the proportion of
corn should be gradually increased. For
the final fattening, after the frame is
built and the muscular system developed,
there is nothing so cheap and profitable
as our cheap corn.

ArrionItnrnI Notes.

In every department Of farm work 1t
pays to have sharp tools.
The best farmer does not depend on
commercial fertilizers alone but utilities
all the manure Of his farm.
Are the cultivatOrs, harrows, rollers,
plows and farm machinery under shelter,
or are they scattered over the farml I'm
plements exposed to alternate sun and
rain will not last half as long as if taken
care of.
If the tops of clover are cut of, says a
writer, the roots will increase in bulk
much more than if the tops had not been
removed. 1t is an immutable botanical
law that if the parts of aplant above the
ground are severely pruned it will de
velop root growth.
a writer says that clover is a grass
that makes land richer and better for
having grown on it, and we never lose
anything by growing it for honey. 1t
may not sell as well as hay crop, but it
enriches the soil so much that it pays for
itself in a year or two.
If you want to keep hen in good con
ditiOn for laying she should never have a
full crop during the day. 1t is well
enough to give a light meal of mixed food
warm in the morning in the trough, but
it should not be more than a fourth of
what the hens require. Let them go
away unsatisfied and forced to find their
own food, picking it up grain by grain
This will give them healthy exercise and
good digestion.

Freezing Peach and Plum Stones.

An exchange says that it is a popular
fallacy that these stones need freezing,
and that without it they will not grow.
The fact is that these seeds will and do
grow well in many a northern state with
out encOuntering the slightest freezing.
They need only plenty of moisture to
make them crack open well. Many a
frUit-grower buys his pits in early fall,
before they become dry, mixes them with
damp sand and places them in some cave
or cellar until spring. If the earth has
been very moist. and the cellar rather
warm, he finds his stones cracking open
fast, sometimes too fast when spring
comes Sometimes the pits get too dry at
first; then nothing seems to bring them
round again. Keep them moist from the
start. They can be sOwn outdoors as soon
as procured, or kept in boxes of damp
earth, and will grow very well either way
They generally grow exceedingly well
when they lie under heavy coat of snow
all winter where, while free from the
changes of weather, they are kept moist
all winter long.
Farmers everywhere are reaping the
benefit of the work done by pure scien-
fists. There is no one investigation in
science Of late years that has accom-
plished more for practical agriculture
study of the manner by which leguminous
plants fix nitrates in the soil. The com
ing farmer, either north or South, must be
a legume farmer. 1t may be red clover in
the north, cow peas in the south, or al
falfa in the southwest, but it will always
be legume that will be in the advance of
all agricultural improvement.
One of the greatest advantages of the
more extensive employment of legumi-
nous crops will be the suppression of the
weeds Rotations will be shortened, and
instead of long series of years in sod to
gradually accumulate fresh growth,
there will be frequent smothering crops
and killing out of troublesome weeds.
There is hardly any weed that can sur
vive big broadcast growth of COW peas
and if sOrrel gets the advantage in a
clover field, it is generally because there
was a stint Of seed, or because the soil
needs some solvent agent like lime or
plaster to promote the growth of the
clover. Legumes and a short rotation
must be the watchword of the future.

Yankee Doodle.
From the Boston Transcript.


The tune of Yankee Doodle" has had
seven or eight treatises written uponi ii in
the last thirty years, ascribing it to vari-
Gus dates and origins. even back TO the
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Charleses. DR. George Grove Of
London, England, author of the ''Diction-
airy of Music and Musicians has investi-
gated thoroughly the various musical Ii
braries and the British Museum in Eng
land, findlug no traces Of it whatever,
thus exploding all the mystical, tradi-
tioual, and apocryphal accounts thereof
But Yankee Doodle had an origin and
a history It was written by DIR. Rich
ard Schuch burg (whose commission dates
1897 in the French and Indian war of
1855 under Gen. Jeffrey Amherst, and was
intended as a "take-off'' on the rag, tag
and bobtail'' recruits of the colonies that
came into the army 1t took" so well,
however. that the Americans have ever
adopted it, and would not part with it for
anything. The first words,
Father and 1 went down to camp"
were in the Boston Journal in l765, and
the first record Of the tune is in Arnold's
1.-TWO to One" 1884; so that yankee
Doodle" although written by British
surgeon, is really American.

Riohardsonia soabra.

VIII you please inform me through 'the
columns of the News what is the name of
the enclosed plant. 1t is rapidly increas-
ing in all cultivated fields about here.
Should it be encouraged, or not? Most
farmers do not like it, especially for cot
ton land. Others say that it improves
corn land, but beggar weed will do that,
and is less Obiectionab lie. VIII be glad of
any information. J. B. w.
Cairo, Ga,
The plant sent is known under variety
of names Mexican clover, 3" Spanish
clover Florida clover" "water-pars-
ley" pigeon weed" ''poor toe, 81
tanical name is Richardsonia Scabra
1t is a annual and belongs to the same
family that the Nader does. 1t is likely
that it was introduced into Florida from
Mexico or South America 1t is pretty
well distributed throughout the Gulf
states, regarded only as a pest by some
and by others considered valuable. I'm
like Lespedeza Japan clover, this plant
does not take readily to uncultivated
land, but, like crab grass, it soon estab-
fishes itself on cultivated fields. Though
several of it's common names designates
it as Glover" it is not a clover at
all. 1t is considered a very excel
lent improver of poor, sandy soil On
rich land it makes a very luxuriant
growth Many have stated that stock
will not eat it either green or cured, 9th
ers say that it is highly relished by stock.
In this respect it seems to resemble nell
lotus, plant highly commanded by some
as food relished by stock, while others
claim that they will not touch it. Stock
have to be taught to like it, 1t is curious
what a variety of statements has been
made in regard to the edible qualities of
these two plants There is this about
Richardsonia Scabra-while it is not a
plant to be deliberately chosen, still, if it
takes possession of any poor or medium
soil that needs enriching it would be a
very good thing to encourage its growth
if one stock can be brought to eat it dry OF
green. ,..

Wide Wagon Tires.

1t is only a question of time when broad
wagon tires will be seen on all our wagons
employed for hauling merchandise and
freight, the same as may be seen in all the
capitals of Europe. The Ontario Depart
ment Of Agriculture has sent out valua-
BILE special report or bulletin setting forth
the treatment necessary to make, as well
as to maintain good roads The report
says the repairing of roads once a year
(the usual plan) is wrong in principle,
as almost always it is done in the spring,
the good effects disappearing before the
time for fall and winter travel sets in.
The report strongly commends the move
ment in favor of wide tires for draft We
hicles. 1t says it has been proved by re-
peated experiments that wheels with
tires two and one-half inches wide cause
double the wear of wheels which have
four and one-half inch tires. The wide
tire has the tendency to roll the roadbed
and keep it smooth at the same time,
while the narrow one cuts it up and re
quires more hauling force for the same
weight of load, besides spelling the
thoroughfare. Most of the Euro
pean countries have laws regulating this
matter.

High Roosts.

High roosts are an abomination. The
large, heavy hens can only reach the
high roosts with difficulty, and they are
liable to be dislodged from their position,
thrown off and injured by the fall Make
the roosts Iowa foot from the floor
being sufficiently Highland have all the
roosts on a level, instead of making them
step-like; that is one higher than the
other. Bumble-foot, lameness of the
Joints and other ailments are often due to
high roosts, and it is to their seeking
lofty perches that young turkeys
are usually affected with swollen feet and
legs. 1t is really doubtful if roOsts are
necessary in a poultry house, as those
who have tried the experiment of provld-
ing litter for the hens, and cleaning it
away daily, report that the hens keep in
much better condition, being less liable
to draughts of air and are seldom lame.
1t is an experiment worthy of a trial, as
the removal of the roosts will render the
interior of poultry house more roomy
and con venient.-P. H. Jacobs, in Farm
and FireSide.

FIVE HUSBANDS APIECE.
Women of Thibet Have Plenty of Mer
at Their Service.
From the New Orleans Tunes Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
just at this time, when so many ladies
are apparently finding one husband too
many, Mrs. Isabella Bishop contributes a
chapter on how the women of far away
Thibet are happy as the day is long with
four or five husbands apiece. Their de-
termination to stick to many hus bands
instead of one is thus far the insurmOunt-
able obstacle to converting these I'hib-
etans to Christianity. Mr. Bishop says:
The Thibetan eldest son is the principal
member of the family. When they reach
IA certain age even his father and mother
must step down and out and go into
small house, leaving him the main estab-
lishment. There he takes his bride. He
is her first man." so to speak, but along
with him she takes as husbands all his
brothers, be the number great or small.
The more brothers he has the more
husbands she. The women all like it,
and declare they would not have it
otherwise for the world. 1--WE have
three or four men to help us instead OF
one" they say. The stupidity and mOnot-
ony of living with just one husband,
European fashion, are appalling to them,
and they pity their European sisters sin
cerely. Here is their unanswerable
logic: of | had only one husband and
he should die l would be widow if l
had two or three l am never widow.
See2"
It is the custom for all her acquaint-
ances to make present of money to the
Thibetan bride. With this she leases a
field for herself and its crops are hence
forth for her own use exclusively. 1t is
rather odd that polyandry was introduced
among the Thibetans originally as an
economic measure so that the population
should not outrun the means of subsist-

winter too cold. no summer too hot and
no land too poor for it to thrive and make
