Improving the swine.

On the farm where three or more
brood sows are kept it will nearly
always pay to own a good boar
Now is a good time to secure one, as
pig 3 months old can be bought
at a less price, while the express
charges will be much less than for
a more matured animal. Then the
owner has the advantage of being
able to feed and care for him accord
ing to his own ideas of what is best
to secure good growth and devel-
opment with good treatment SO that
steady growth is maintained. A
young boar bought now can be
ready for service by the time it will
be best to breed the young sows for
Spring pigs. BY taking care to Sc
lect out the best of the sows, keeping
them in good thrifty condition and
mating them at the proper time to
a full-blooded boar, a decided i'm
provement nthe quality ofthe hogs
can be effected at small cost.
The average farmer cannot afford
to sell off all his hogs and make an
entirely new start, but it will be an
exceptional case when a good male
pig cannot be obtained, q careful
selection of the sows made and the
process of improving be started.
Then, by selecting the best Of the
SOW pigs from this breeding and CIV
ing them good treatment, q still
further improvement is possible.
But it is important that the sire

a kicking COW, vi Ouo Vn"O 10
quires much labor and attention
when being MIXED, should De got
ten rid of. Such COWS are nuisance,
and makes the dairyman's work
disagreeable.
Oats when cut in the milky stage
(before the grain is ripe) make an
excellent ration for horses. The nu-
tritious matter is arrested in the
stalks, and both straw and grain
are relished.
It takes twice as much food and
labor to produce the same amount
of meat, butter or milk from scrubs
as from pure breeds, and that's why
poor farmers with scrub cattle fail
to make the farm pay.
A COW will shrink in her milk
because of lack of supply OF
drinking water sooner than from
any other cause, and it may be
safely stated that insufficient water
when the cows are in the pasture is
very frequent occurrence on farms.
Market gardeners find that the
pea crop returns az large profit as
any that can be grown SO easily.
They sell it while green, and for the
very earliest get very high prices.
The pea is hardy, and the farmer
who has light, warm soil has as
good a chance as the market gard
ener.
To have thistles appear in oats is
to have risk of losing the oats or
raising more thistles. The remedy
is to go into the oat field and cut
out every thistle with knife. If
the thistles are too numerous to do
this, then the best thing that can
be done is to pillow the crop under
and kill out the thistles by putting
the land in potatoes or keeping the
field clean by cultivation.
Few things meaner can be con-
ceived, says a Boston paper, than
selling farmer or gardener fraud
ulent seed. In a neighboring town
is to be seen a half acre of currants
ruined by the farmer having been
sold old and worthless hellebore by
the. village druggist. The same vii
lage and neighboring ones have lost
thousands of dollars through buy
ing and planting wretched garden
seeds.
Arrange your poultry house SO
that all cleaning can be done with
broom. To do this, keep the floor
well covered with dry dirt, and when
the house is to be cleaned, simply
sweep of the floor and scatter fresh
dirt, using an extra quantity under
the roosts. In this manner the work
can be done in few minutes, and
the droppings can be placed in bar
rels, as the dirt will assist in pre-
serving them.

FARM Notes.



Sell off the surplus comb-honey.
See that every colony has lay
ing queen.
Raise few good queens to take
the place of the poorer ones.
All empty combs that are away
from the bees should be looked af-
ter.
Make a general clean-up. Ar
range everything in its place while
there is time.
Disturb the bees as little as pos
sible now. Handling them now
tends to make them consume their
stores.
Uniting weak colonies can be
done now at any time, as weak col
onies will gain scarcely anything
from this time on.
Every beekeeper should careful
ly save all particles of comb and
convert them into wax, as they are
well worth taking care Of.
There is probably no time during
the year when greater caution must
be exercised against robbing them
during the month of August.
Feeding in Autumn is done for
the purpose in part of stimulating
brood rearing, and also for the pur-
pose of supplying such colonies as
lack food for the Winter.
A hive Of bees, in order to be
ready to occupy surplus boxes,
must be full of bees; so full that
they are crowded for space, SO that
when the boxes are put on they
will crowd into them.
A cellar intended for bees should
not be used for any other purpose,
and it will be much better if it is
away from a building that is occu-
pied by family, in order to lessen
disturbance of the bees.
Every colony should have fair
supply of brood at this time, and
all that have not should receive a
small quantity Of feed daily to in
duce them to breed. AS rule
young queens lay better than old
ones.
By this time it should be ascer-
tanned if each colony is supplied
with a queen. If the colony is
found with a good supply of brood
in all stages it indicates the pres
ence of good queen, and further
search is unnecessary.
Unless the Fall flow of honey is
so heavy as to demand surplus box
es, they should all be removed by
the LIST of Sept. It is seldom dur
ing the Fall months that the flow
of honey is of such quantity that
it is not needed in the brood cham
Der.
If everything in the queen line
is all right, the next thing is to ar
range the combs. It will often be
found that the brood nest is occu-
plying one side of the hive. Then
adjust the frames so that this will
come in the center, so as to induce
the bees to cluster there.
To keep combs in a perfect con-
dition they must have good care
after being removed from the hive
to be kept over until next season.
They should all be removed from
the surplus departments during
Sept, or, at least, in time for ar
ranging the bees for Winter.
1t IS OF the greatest Importance
that queens be kept laying during
the month of September. 1t is often
the case that little honey is obtain
ed this month, and it follows that
but little breeding is done. Hence,
in order to get bees in proper con-
dition, they must be fed.

Cold Air on Tap.

A company has been incorporated in New York city for the purpose of sup plying cold air for refrigerating pur- poses to hotels, restaurants, meatshops and households through q pipe service similar to that employed in the distribu- tion of steam. The cold air is to be manufactured hy the anhydrous am monia process at q central plant, is piped into mains which are laid beneath the streets, and the house connections are made by service pipes, which are car ried into fine refrigerator or cold storage compartments
 The degree of refrigeration is under perfect control, and any number of varying temperatures may be secured in adjoining compartments. For isolated customers in districts removed from the pipe service the refrigerating material is delivered in a steel cylinder similar to those in which soda water is deliver ed to drug stores.

 Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll believes that he has become what thieves and confidence men call "an easy mark. !" The other day he started on a long lee- turing tour with his daughter, Miss Maud Ingersoll. He had sent two trunks for repairs to store. On the night the trunks were sent to his house the ex- pressman carried one of them up stairs and returned to ind that the horse, wagon and the colonel s other trunk had disappeare Later the horse and wagon were fou !, but nothing has been heard of the t,unk.
 Last September Colonel Ingersoll de- livered lecture at Elmwood, Ills, on the abuse of criminals. After he had made q fine plea for criminals who wish to reform he returned to the hotel and found that his pocketbook containing $a50 had been stolen.
 When he left for the west, Colonel Ingersoll said that his views on the re- lation of the criminal to society had been considerably modified by personal experience. New York World

 A New Oyster Disease.

Oyster dealers along the Virginia rivers are greatly exercised over new disease which exists among bivalves
 The oysters have been attacked by some malady which has, in measure, rendered tho catch in various sections worthless. The inner space in the shells is filled with reddish liquid which closely resembles blood. The oysters themselves show no sign of being affect ed by the liquid and seem to be healthy. The dealers who have received such oys- ters have, in some cases, had them re- turned after they had been sold.
 Various opinions have been advanced as to the cause of the disease Some say the condition is due to the continued dry weather, while others attribute it to long continued fog. Baltimore Sun.

We will go into the presidential contest united, and with us will be the silver men of the south and west, who have not heretofore acted with us. There will be split in both the old party national conventions on the financial question. We will gain those in favor of silver. This will result in our party going to the people in favor of free coinage of silver at 16 to l, while the gold monometallists will be divided into two parties, Democratic and Re- publican The result will be the election of president by the Peoples Party or by the house of representatives In ei- ther event the next president will be silver man.

LADY FOOTBALLER9.
Logan College, Kentucky. Boasts a Team

 of Lady Kiekers.
 Russellville, Ky. can boast of the only ladies football team in the state. The young ladies of Logan college have purchased pigskin and gone into train ing. Their system of training is un- known, but is supposed to consist of a mile run and cold bath before break fast and cold potatoes to eat. The line up of the team conld not be learned, but the captain of the team IS said to be low of stature and rather solidly built. The center rush is q large golden haired beauty, and the quarter back is a small girl with black hair. One of the half backs is rather slender blond girl, medium height, and the other a dark girl of the same height more stoutly built.
 Many of the young ladies are said to be bruised from practice. One girl, who has hair exactly the color of the ball, in one of the scrimmages was kicked in the face by another girl, who supposed she was kicking the ball. For several days her face was swollen up like she had the humps. The bloomer suits have not yet arrived, and it is not known whether or not any games are scheduled to take place outside of Logan college campus It is presumed that the team is ready to meet any young ladies semi nary in the land. -Russellville (Ky.) ) Ledger
