original seed. This small increase was
probably due to the better mechanical
condition of the meal and hulls compared
with the crushed seed.
Salt for Hogs-The question has often
been discussed as to whether or not salt
IS injurious to hogs. 1t is not injurious If
hogs can have access to IL all the time.
but II they are kept away from II for
some time and then allowed to help them
selves disastrous results are liable to fol-
low. We have heard of a case where a
couple of nice shoats were killed by slcp
made out of the liquid in which salted
corned beef and cabbage were boiled. II
Is a good idea to place rock salt where
they can have access to IL at all times
White Faced Spanish-One of the
handsomest and most attractive fowls Is
the White Faced Spanish. On a lawn, or
in a front yard, or in the back yard, these
birds attract attention by their white
faces. their beautiful form and their
glossy plumage Poultry admirers seem
TO prefer them to Andausians Lang
on the same premises. There Is no deny
ing that the Black Spanish is not only a
handsome fowl, but a useful fowl as we'll.
As layers of large white eggs they are
perhaps uneXcelled.
More Hogs Than Salt.-When a people
have so many hogs ready at killing time
that salt famine sets in there is little
danger of their going hungry for some
time to come. A very few years ago the
south kept its smoke house in the west;
now II Keeps IL at home. Says the Dem
opolis Express: There has been a salt
famine in Demopolis for the past week.
Our merchants have been making every
euort to supply their customers but with
out avail, for it is impossible to secure
II. While il is to be regretted that our
farmers are Inconvenience by this, yet
II argues that there is being more meat
Killed in this county than ever before, for
our merchants made their usual pur-
chases not anticipating the Increased de-
mand, and il can only be due to this fact
that the famine is upon us
Manuring Potatoes-Manuring for the
potato crop should always be done as
early as possible. If the manure is coarse
II should be used as top dressing. Most
OF its soluble parts will be incorporates
with the soil by the time the field is
much less apt to cause ret If spread en-
the soil the fall before the potatoes are
planted. The mineral fertilizer is better
applied in the spring, but that also should
be done early, so that the rains will he
able 10 dissolve it and make IL availa-
bic. The mineral fertilizer is always
more effective when it Is used with sta
bic manure
Turnips vs.. Carrots for Horses-carrots
have always been extolled as the par ex-
cellence of horse feed, and TO a certain
extent they are. Carrots fed to young
stock make them irritable, nervous, and
IN the case q young stations vicious;
for horses 10 the pecticbacid contained in
them, which so much assists digestion
and assimilation, and for this reason are
good for cid horses. Horse dealers thor
oughly understand their value and feed
them generously to old horses 1t is
within my experience that Swedish or
yellow turnips are much better both as
an article of food and as conditioner
than carrots for horses. Try a few
Swedes, cut them up and sprinkle with
corn meal and bran. The soft and glossy
coat, the healthy look with the good spir-
its of the horse so fed, viii soon tell the
story. fA
Wages of Farm and City.-Farm wages
look small, but the net return is not so-bad
after all. A young man of "a was offered
the choice this week between q Si2 a
week position in Boston and q place upon
a farm at $50 per month and expenses.
He chose the farm with but little hesita-
tion because. as he said he could save
more money and because he liked to live
in the country.
