HERE AND THERE.

The Western Swineherd reports a
remarkable exemption from hog chol-
era throughout the great.west for sew
eral months past, and declares that for
many years hogs have not been SO uni
formly healthy.
Scrub stock, whether horses, cattle
or hogs, are so expensive compared
with the results of their feed and care.
and are in such light demand and heavy
supply, that no farmer who knows
which side of his bread has cleo on it,
can afford to waste his time with such.
Farm stock should be kept for the
profit there is in it. The annual loss
from Improbable stock is immense-in
many cases sufficient alone to deter
mine the years work to be a failure.
Under present conditions of close COM
petition it win not pay to feed any ami
NAL that will not pay it's way.
1t has long been a mooted question
whether animals have souls. When we
see the treatment some farm animals
receive we are driven to the conclusion
that their owners have none-or, at
lcdSt. uout NOTti1 Swing.
If every crop of potatoes realized
the same profit as little patch in De-
Kalb County, Ala, did the other dav.
potatoes would be the only crop raised
in this country. j. 7. Reauseau, a
farmer, while digging mess of pota-
toes, turned up $1,000 in gold and
silver.
Farmers who are satisfied with one
ton of hay per acre will never make
farming pay. On some farms four tons
per acre have been secured during
favorable seasons If hay crop does
not give a fair return during seasons
when all the conditions are favorable
the land should be put in some other
crop.
-Guineas are one of the finest table
fowls. possessing certain game flavor
not found in other fowls. They have
full-neated breasts, and possess but
small proportion of offal. If their real
value for the table were known they
would be in great demand On the
farm they cost almost nothing, being
industrious foragers, and there never
was better insect exterminator.
To provide a dust bath for the
fowls it is not necessary to keep dust
in box. Spade up space in the cor
ner of the yard about four feet square
and foot deep, and sift the dirt SO as
to have it light and fine. Let it be.
done on a dry day, and should it be-
come wet from rain, repeal the work
the next dry day. After IL e first time
it viii require but few minutes
tine, and the hens will enjoy it very
much.

us method of greatly prolonging the
sweetness OF milk. BY a method Of
milk testing, we are now able to say
just how much butter fat a given
amount of milk contains, |. e., how
many pounds of butter can be made
from the given quantity of milk. This
being the case, the milk now sold at
creameries is paid for in proportion to
the amount of butter fat it contains.
Thus we see the intimate relations ex-
listing between the sciences which un-
derlie agriculture. We also see that
science has brought agriculture for
ward to the state of advancement in
which it now stands That agriculture
should be our foremost, as it ever has
been primarily the most important, in
dustry there can be no doubt. But
science has not completed its work in
aiding agriculture. Indeed, the results
so far obtained but go to show the pos
sibilities which lie beyond. Other
equally important results in scientific
agriculture may be looked for, and II
the agriculturist wishes to be success
full, he should put the latest results of
scientific investigations into immediate
practice. The greatest aid to the agri-
culturists in this country is the expert
ment station-and it is through these
institutions that much of the future
aid to agriculture will be brought for
ward.-Iioward Z. Weed, in American
Agricultural.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will net
accept any substitute if offered.

the fact that during the months of Au-
gust and September Ia the most favorable
time to make the tour of the Yellowstone
National Park-the Worlds Wonderland.
The Hotel and Transportation Companies
In the Yellowstone National Park are fully
prepared to take care of all business o Tered
and it is hoped that some of those who have
abandoned their trip on account of the
labor troubles may be induced to take it
now.
Our through train service between st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, and Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle has been complete
y resumed, so that no one need fear any
material delays en- route. The usual equip
ment consisting of Pullman tourist sleepers
and Pullman vestibuled standard sleepers,

ulStdStS. lHio DtiHp the case, the
viticulturist knows that the applica-
ton of the Bordeaux mixture is as
fully an important part of success
as pruning or cultivation. But it has
also been recently shown that many
plant diseases other than those of the
grape can be checked in like manner
by the application of fungicides. A
prominent example of this is found in
the good resulting from the applica-
ton of Bordeaux mixture to potatoes,
recent experiments showing that this
fungicide not only prevents the potato
rot, but also so very largely increases
the yield that it would pay well to APP
ply the bordeaux mixture for this lat
ter purpose alone, where potatoes are
subject to early blight. This increase
in yield was a result unlocked for
when the experiments We're conducted
This same fungicide is used in spray
ing apple trees to prevent the apple
scab, and experiments .last season at
the Cornell station show that the Bor-
deaux mixture not only prevents the
scab, but it increases both the yield
and keeping qualities of the fruit.

science has but recently shown many
things of interest. 1t has long been
supposed, and, indeed, common sense
would go to show, that the winter pro-
lection of mich cows would pay, vet it
has remained for the Indiana expert
ment station to recently show just
what and how much benefit is to be de-
rived from such winter protection. The
matter of sub-irrigation has received
attention at the hands of some of our
stations, and the experiments have
shown that this system of irrigation is
much superior in its results to the
usual methods. Agricultural chemis-
try, dairying and bacteriology are as
yet but new sciences. and this is espc-
cially so in the intimate relations
which they bear to each other. The
matter of the fermentation of milk is
now receiving much attention. and

EIasficitv of Steel.

A very striking proof of the extreme elasticity of steel is exhibited in some OK pcriments mado at the Sellers works and described in The American Machihist. Thrcc cylindrical steel posts 1X inches in diameter and 10 feet long were placed in vertical position upon u steel disk, the three posts arranged in the form of a triangle. On top of these was placed another steel disk. and arrangements wcro made by which pound weight could be carefully placed upon or removed from the upper disk. An electrical contact was ar ranged in such manner that any diminu tion of length of the columns would cause bell to ring, and it was found that this pound weight was sufficient to mako and break tho contact, tic bell continuing to ring so long as the weight was in place and stopping whenever i>was removed. By experiments made upon specimens of tho samo bar of steel and by calculation it was determined that the steel bars were compressed about LA, GOO, GOO of an inch, which, though but small amount showed that even the highest strain cannot be i'm posed upon such materials without 0 cor responding yielding which yielding may or may not be disrcgarded according to circumstances, and to this fact that metals always yield under strain is undoubtedly duo much of the wearing to a bearing" that is often considered necessary in new machinery.
