Avoid inbreeding, for no farm animal

years of age, Of good length. heavy quar-
ters and a short snout. The boar should
also be heavily quartered, well proper
toned and evenly made. SoWs should
be bred to farroW about the middle of
April and the pigs should be kept growing
until ready for market. Fall pigs, unless
weighing from 80 to 40 pounds when 60
ing into winter quarters, are usually un-
profitable. Feed the brood SOW sparingly
of corn but give her plenty of bran and
middlings. Some feeders argue that a
sow will do better at narrowing if she
be thin in flesh. This is true if she has
been fed on corn, but if fed as recon-
mended above she will do much better
by her pigs if in good flesh. A few roots
and an occasional feed of clover hay are
very healthful and will be enjoyed by
the SOW. Care should be taken not to
Overfeed her for few days preceding
narrowing and for two weeks after, as
the pigs cannot dispose of too much milk
ut that age. But after that feed the SOW
all she will eat of a mixed ration of corn
meal, oatmeal and bran, with ground
barley and middlings for an occasional
change. AS soon as the pigs are old

Having determined to grow at least
one-quarter acre of berries; having good
papers with a supply of horticultural
reading: having selected the best WELL
drained land available, and decided to use
only the best plants, let us. now make
a drawing or plat Of the new garden.
Take a piece of heavy paper or a clean
smooth board, and draw ten straight
main lines, one inch apart and twenty
five inches long, to represent ten rows
Of fruit plants: seven feet apart. Now
draw cross lines, one-half inch apart the
entire length Of plat, making fifty lines.
The intersection of each cross line, with
of setting plants. This gives fifty plants
to the row, plants three and one-half feet
apart in the row and rows 175 feet long
three and One-half feet apart in the row
and rows 175 feet long.
Set strawberry plants just half this
distance, each way-twenty-one inches
apart in the row, and rows three and
one-half feet apart.
Now make selections of varieties, the
number of each variety, and the row
they are to occupy. Write the name Of
berry and number of plants on the line
selected
From long experience and general cult
vation the fol lowing varieties are recon-
mended as doing we'll in most locations:
9 First r. RowE25 Briton blackberries; 25
Second Row--25 Nelaala black r.spberries;

Fourth Row--25 Cuthbert red raspberries; !;

ght and One-half Row-1oo Beder Wood
Ninth Row-1oO Crescent strawberries
Nine and One-half Row-1OO Van Deman
strawberries.
Tenth ROWS grapes, Moores Early,
Worden, Concord, Brighton and Delaware
The distance for setting, as we'll as
varieties to be selected, may be varied
to suit different soils, localities, methods
Of cultivation, or fancy of the grower.
Make your order for plants at once, and
from responsible growers only, plants
to be sent and set out as early in spring
as ground can be well prepared.
AS soon as ground is free from frost,
prepare it thoroughly. Stake off the
rows and set plants, by line, following
the plan exactly. You will then have
plants true to name, and on your plat Il
complete record for future reference.
Learn name and location of each variety,
form of leaf, habit of growth, tint of bud,
flavor of fruit, time of ripening, etc.
Mark we'll the varieties that do best for
you, and in future settings you may have
without cost. best plants and best fruit
from your own garden.

Milking.


In reply to a query ,"Is there any s'se-
result not wholly related to sthn -sS0d and
care of the cow?' we would say that
successful milking of a cow to secure
the greatest and best results is a sort of
''fraternar' and commercial treaty with
her, says the Practical Farmer The
cow has maternal side to be considered
Milk is secreted first and primarily for
the calf, and dairying and good milking
is a plan to get the milk, and have that
mother Office extended. To do this there
must be a confidence awakened and main
tanned, to the end that milking this COW
shall be a pleasure quite akin to sup
plying her calf; and some authorities
claim, keep in continuance the ''emo,
tions,' that can he called without violence
to humanity, true affection. The good
milker seeks to win the goodwill of the
cow, so that milking is not period of
fear to the COW or expected violence, but
an occasion of-to her-actualf enjoy
ment. The man who pets a COW, and
will feed her and does not give her pain
when he milks, may be said to be more
than mechanical milker, but one who
an artificial way-keeping alive the cows
maternal affection, and this can be u
stimulative influence to induce milk Sc
erection. The reader has witnessed on
untold occasions the cows great desire
to suckle her calf, or be MIXED, and if
milk giving and milking can be closely
associated by pleasurable contact, there
is at once answer that there is ''se
cret" in milking, and it is fashioned on
the everlasting law of good care and
kindness.
