whole stock germs of the cholera and
kindred diseases which may cause you
havoc.
Our conventions consider almost every
branch OF the science of feeding stock,
preparing, cooking. portioning it, and
yet one of the most important items in
the successful growing Of animals is
hardly mentioned, and that is water,
and how to get it good, pure and clean
to them. 1t is all important, with swine
in particular.
When in winter pigs are watered but
once day they come from their beds
steaming hot and very thirsty, and rush
to the freshly pumped water; they drink
too much, chilling themselves, and very
often the result is congestion, pneumonia
or other winter diseases to which pigs
are liable.
Much of our 80 called hog cholera is
from the weakened constitutions of in
bred pigs. While it is better to keep the
breeds pure and avoid crossing, il we
want to maintain a uniformity in our
pigs we must look we'll to fresh blood in
getting new boar each season.
Hogs shipped into the stock yards
show the result of too much inbreeding
by careless farmers, who reason that it
does not pay to get new boar each year
while they have one which will breed,
and they lose enough in litter or two
to pay for new sire.
Look we'll to the vigor Of your pure
bred boar; let him be good, vigorous
and of different family from your own
stock entirely, which can be done easily
in these days of pedigree stock. Get
him from large litter, and breed to
sows which raise large filters of good
pigs, and which raise their pigs we'll.
1t is bad time to neglect the sows
about the time they are to drop their
pigs, or let them shift for themselves in
the woods, where cold may overtake
them even in the spring season. Pork
is worth too much money to permit this
shiftlessness, and some sort of shelter
should be improvised.
A good breeding SOW is worth keeping
until five or six years old, and, in fact,
80 long as she lives she is hardly past
the age when she will bring profitable
litters; but SOW grown old is apt to
become breachy or get taste for chick
en- meat, or acquire some other bad
habit which makes one glad to get rid Of
her.
One point in favor of breeding old
sows is that they will bring forth two
filters in year. For this and other
reasons there seems to be decided re-
version Of feeling against the practice
which has 80 long obtained of breeding
immature sows.

feet downward and find it's own water
Once established, it is an almost continu-
GUS pasture for sheep, being such Wig
orous grower.
We're it not for the lessening OF ex-
penses in the growing and harvesting Of
many of our crops by mechanical inven-
tions, we should have to abandon them
now; the world would have to eat less
or pay more for lis food. The harvester
has indeed been blessing, despite the
outcry against it at it's introduction.
Alfalfa has been grown with some sue
cess as far north as Minnesota and as
far east as Indiana. 1t stands the
drouth better than any other clover be-
cause Of it's long tap root, which some
times runs to the depth Of 20 feet. 1t
will not grow in any soil underlaid with
hardpan.
II the land is rich enough, there is no
reason why crop Of sweet corn can not
be raised after potatoes in the central
ATTITUDES. By applying little phosphate
to the hill or drill, even as late as July,
when the plants do not do we'll for lack
of food, pretty fair crop should be
grown.
Good farmers whose interests lie in
grain and grass are rapidly learning that
the most profitable place for their man.
ure for grain crops is upon sod of the
previous year, SO that the chemistry of
the soil can better prepare it for the
grain crop, while the Immediately avail
able parts feed at once the grass.
IL there is muck swamp upon the
place, dry some of it and place alternate
layers of six inches with as much stable
manure; it is we'll to also add straw,
weeds, sods, etc.; to each ton it will pay
to add so pounds kainit and as much
bone meal. Work the heap over several
times during the season.
We get rid of the weeds by short
rotation. clean hoed crops, stubbles
moved before any weeds go to seed,
clover cut early, and other such common
sense methods. but there must never be
a let up, for in one season we may get
set back more than we have gained in
five. There is no easy way, and only
vigilance will bring victory.

DAIRY.

Talk as we may, to the farmer who
has established for himself reputation
for furnishing dairy goods of unfailing
and unquestionable high quality there
is never lacking good market for all
he can produce, at paying and satisfac-
tory prices.
The corn and wheat crop may fall be-
low the paying point, but a we'll selected
herd Of dairy cows, managed with good
judgment, generously supplied at all
seasons with everything they need, will
never disappoint when the balancing of
accounts is done.
The maker Of good butter has always
brisk demand for his goods at paying
price, and the sale of the milk and the
cream to the adjacent city or town will
return even better revenue than but
ter. and with less labor and care.
The COWS on farm form an indispens.
able source Of success, and in proportion
to their qualities and the way they are
treated and managed depends the de-
gree Of that success. Aside from direct
products, they are of permanent value
as consumers of roughage of the farm
to be manufactured into beef or to be
converted into the best of fertilizers.
Never make the mistake of raising
your graded bull calves, for if your COWS
from thoroughbred are none too good
for you, allow neither yourself nor your
neighbor to deteriorate herds which are
valuable by breeding in way which can
bring disappointment only. There is an
economy which tends only to ruin.
The best guide as to the value of
COW as mixer is to weigh her product
regularly. That tells her story without
any guess work, and is far better than
going it blindly upon her pedigree or
her marks" Every owner should know
what every COW is doing, as that is the
only way to come at the problem of
profits and eliminate the element of
chance from dairying operations.
From even the cleanest horse stable
there is usually strong odor of am.
monia, which will affect the milk if the
cows are compelled to continually
breathe it. Spare no pains to promote
the purity of the surroundings if you
wish to make good butter of good keep
ing qualities. There should at least be
free circulation of air between the stalls.
Nearly all the cream is contained in
the latter half OF the milk drawn from
the COW. bleeding calves, put the first
half drawn in a vessel by itself and save
for their use, reserving the rest for the
dairy. They will thus have the advant-
age of fresh. warm milk, while the cost
of maintaining them will be materially
lessened.
Sometimes there is more in the dairy
man than in thoroughbreds. silage.
patent creamer, starter and all other
paraphernalia. Regularity. cleanliness
and common sense count for a great
deal. Prizes are often taken by common
stock fed i'll the old way. and where the
open pan is the only utensil.

Nage1 Cut His Wrist as Wen as His
Throat.
The body Of II. a. Nagel, the ChinaTars
dealer, who committed suicide by cutting
his throat in the rear Of his store, No. 921
Seventh street southwest, is now at Lees
undertaking establishments When Coroner
Hammett viewed the corpse at the morgue
yesterday, it was in such a terrible con-
dition that ne ordered it to be turned owes
to Mr. Lee and encased IN an alright
metallic casket. The coroner win hear
the evidence in the case this morning and
will no doubt give the usual certificate OF
suicide.
The authorities at police headquarters
telegraphed to NageIs sister in Charleston,
s. C., and were requested to forward the
body to that place This VIII be done on
the $40 train this evening.
An examination of Nagel's body, after the
blood had been washed off yesterday shows
that he also sawed on his left wrist with
the dull table knife and severed the veins
of the arm. Policemen Espey and Herbert
found that he had been sitting at table
eating a simple repast of bread, butter. and
eggs, Just before he committed the deed.
A milestone, with which he tried to sharpen
the knife, was also on the table.
