What the Farmer Requires.

The vocation of the farmer is an hon.
orable, Independent and lucrative one,
and when followed intelligently will
yield bountiful return.
1t permits of more varied work, a
wider range of thought and more op
portunities for observation and reflec-
ton than almost any other occupation.
Mother earth-the farmers capital
IS kindly disposed, and when properly
nourished and persuasively entreated
by the diligent use of modern imple-
ments of husbandry, will yield her
bounties in profusion.
The farmer is more dependent on nat
ural causes for success than other pro-
fessions. Rains must come at the proper
time, heat and cold must alternate in the
proper ratio. In other words, the sea-
sons must make their regular period
zeal rounds and bring the changes
incident to each, but. as these are
variable and uncertain in most eli
mates, it becomes unnecessary for the
farmer to educate himself in all
branches of knowledge, both practical
and scientific, connected with his pro-
fession.
The time to SOW, the time to reap,
the kind of soil and the proper mode
of preparing it for each particular
crop, the kind and quantity of fertiliz-
ing material to use for each particular
product, the proper mode of cultiva-
ton to suit the weather conditions ex-
isting at that particular time, and the
proper manner of harvesting, storing
and marketing. To market to'the best
advantage the farmer must know
where the best markets for his products
are located and the probable cost of
shipment.
He should also thoroughly post him
self on the subject of supply and de-
mand, not only at home. but abroad.
Armed with these qualifications, and
putting them to practical use, the farm
er is able to compete successfully with
his competitors in the race for COM
petence.
To obtain these qualifications the
farmer must be practical; he must
study the results of his work by keep
ing an exact account of every item of
expense connected with the production
of each>particular crop Rural World.

Crops in One Year.
Why is it that small farmers who are

The summer Resiroara.

However the summer bedroom may
be furnished and whatever part of the
house it may be in, it should be well
ventilated, and yet arranged SO that all
the glare of the morning light may be
shut out. Young people, who are good
sleepers, do not notice such irritating
conditions so much as older people,
who become more sensitive as their
nervous system becomes worn. The

pie sometimes add in. addition to the
regular shade, are Objectionable, be-
cause they also shut out the air. Inside
blinds. with awnings over the windows
to shade the light from the top, seem
to solve the problem as well as it can
be solved. Where there are no inside
blinds a lattice screen and an awning
shade the window in an ideal manner.
Outside blinds are too cumbersome to
open and close every day, and they are
virtually abandoned, the more pictur-
esque awning being substituted for
them.-N. y. Tribune.

OF the west who live in sections where
the corn crop never fails, and rarely
rails below an everage yield, have in
this field OF pork production business
which in their hands is surrounded by
SO many outstanding advantages that
they can safely challenge the COMPETE
ton of tie world. Myriad acres of
land elsewhere can contribute towards
swelling the volume of cattle, sheep
and horses; India, Russia and Argen-
tine can grow wheat so cheaply and in
such quantities as to fairly ruiz the

western states. The hog is the one re-
liable money-malzer, the ''rent-payer, :"
the "breadwiBner," the mortgage
litter" par excellence of the corn
states. He may make more money for
his owner some years than others; he
may be overtalsen at times by disease,
but in the long run he always pays
handsome profit in any corn-growing
district. Other countries may grow

bers, but nowhere outside of the United
states can hogs making such astonish-

produced in such enormous numbers at
such light cost. Only two weeks ago
there were over 100000 head bought
and paid for at primary receiving points
in six days, and even that great run"
was absorbed without a 'break."
There is no overestimating the impor-
lance of hog crop as leading factor
in American agricultural prosperity.

Never mas the value of the hog crop
to American farmers been more strik-

past twelve months. Throughout those
long and anxious weeks of 1893, when

farmers, and this enormous quantity
of pork has been produced at such
comparatively small cost that almost
every pound of it has been sold-even
through the very worst of the financial
cyclone-at an actual profit to the
producer, Can this be said of any
other variety of live stock or of any
