It's hardy habits allow il to live under
neglect that would send the sheep the
cow or the horse TO the bone yard. while
nothing responds to generous treatment
quicker. Again the hog market is sub
ject TO less protracted periods of de-
preston than that of any other stock
The average price of hogs for the last
ten years has been above 4 cents price
higher than that attained by either
sheep or cattle. Still we claim that a
pound of pork can be raised cheaper than
a pound Of beef or mutton.
THE farmer should always keep the
best. Go to a good breeder, and don't
object to giving a good price for a good
animal. Don't expect a man who puts
his time and money into raising choice
breeding stock to sell it at pork prices
per pound. He can raise il cheaper than
you can. Don't retain a SOW that is not
prolific, quiet and an easy keeper. If you
get an Objectionable animal, sell it as
quickly as you can and buy again. When
you get a good one, keep her as long as
she will breed. Again, grow your hogs
quickly. Experiments by our best
breeders and feeders have demonstrated
that there is no profit in feeding a pig
after it is eight months old. 1t takes
about four and half younds of GER
tain feed to make one pound of gain in
the hundred-pound hog. while il takes
eight and a half pounds of the same to
make one pound of gain in the five-hun-
dred-pOund hog"

It is the opinion of DR.. Galen Wilson

which so much bungling work is done
as shoeing horses, especially for winter
travelling, when frozen roads and ice
abound. An hour spent in smithy
where a dozen or more horses came i'm

Condition of Farmers in France.

Much has been said in the past of the
prosperity of French farmers. Accord
ing 10 a correspondent of an eastern
journal all is changed. He writes:
Agricultural France is positively in
a state of commotion, il not of fright at
the continued drop in the price of wheat.
The country beyond any doubt, has TO
face a most serious problem: How make
the price of wheat remUnerative?" At
present home wheat only fetches s. per
hundred weight, being between - and 20
per cent. below the profitable raising of
that cereal, SO as to allow the grower
only per cent. gain on his crop. 1t is
rot only the impoyerishing price of
wheat that depresses and ruins, but the
yield per acre is below the average, and
France is next to permanently Obliged
to import one-ffth of her total cereal
needs annually. The worst feature of
the situation is that no one sees q way
out of the gloom. It is all very well

low prices by augmented yield. This is
not unlike the remedy Marie Antoinette
suggested when told that Parisiaus had

soil of an old country like France can
not be reiuvenated by the touch of a
magic ring. 1t is only in Australia that

farmers whose sheet anchor is wheat,
have not money to expend just now on
soil improvement. They have TO cross
an apparently terrible stream, and to
swap horses i'm the middle of it might
end in disaster.

McIntire, secretary OF the association,
said:
The man who becomes disheartened at

find his balance on the wrong side OF the

should have a few hogs. As a machine
for converting farm products into meat,
and thus into money. We think the hog

Corn Fodder.

We have time and again tried to inn
press the feeding value of corn fodder
upon our readers. This time we quote
Mr.. Waldo Brown:
Il have rarely known a farmer 10 give
corn fodder u trial for "A single winter
who did not become thoroughly con-
WINGED Of its value and superiority to
hay Still, it is true that in many To-
calitieS the corn is never cut up and in
many others where il is all cut up the
mana cement is such that it is scarcely
worth the handling.
1T is strange how hard it Is for
farmer to change old habits and adopt
the best methods. 1 know scores of
farmers who always hire extra help 50
as 10 cut their grass at the right time,
and cure and get it into the barn at
once, who invariably allow the corn
shocks to stand out until midwinter or
later rather than to hire little help

when they know-or ought TO know
that the deterioration of the corn and

WHAT TO READ.

Never under any circumstances
read bad book andnever spend a
serious hour in reading a second
rate book. No words can overstate
the mischief Of bad reading.
A bad book will often haunt a
man his whole lite long. 1t is often
remembered when much that is bet
ter is forgotten; it intrudes itself at
the most solemn moments and con-
teammates the best feelings and emo
tons. Reading trashy, second rate
books is a grievous waste of time,
also.
In the first place, there are great
many more frst-rate books than
ever you can master; and, in the
second place, you cannot read an
inferior book without giving up an
opportunity of reading good one.
Books, remember, are friends,
books affect a character and you
can as little neglect your duty in
respect of this as you can safely
neglect any other moral duty that is
cast upon you.

THE DOCTOR.

BE has shivered in the wintry blast,
Has sweltered in the summers sun,
And now his life is almost past,
His work is nearly done.
Locked within his aged breast,
Guarded with jealous care,
How many secrets securely rest,
Saving many bitter tear.
How often has he fought to save,
Battling with all his might,
His unhappy patient from the grave,
An everlasting endless night.
In the plague environed city,
When the pestilence is rife,
he remains to soothe and pity,
Exposing every day his life
He watches by the soldiers cot
Upon the tented field,
Using all the skill he's got,
The cruel wound 10 heal
In the very midst of death,
Ia the battles horrid hell,
He braves the cannon's fiery breath,
Belchlng forth shot aud shell.
When his organization is broken up,
And lites strange forces ended
May he never with Pluto sup,
But quietly with earth be blended.
