A curious case of house moving was
recently witnessed in Oregon A man
who owned a residence at Seattle
which cost him $1,000 to erect, removed
to Olympia and did not have sufficient
funds to build another house. He
bought lot and concluded to remove
the building he owned at Seattle.
Everyone laughed at him, but he per-
sisted. Rolling the house down to the
river he loaded it upon a scow and It
was soon at Olympia, a distance of
about sixty miles Then he had it
rolled upon his lot, and, strange to say,
not timber was strained nor even
piece of furniture broken, although he
had not removed the contents before
starting the house upon its unusual
journey.

nor was there much trouble taken to
find out whether it was suitable

turity was never raised, because un-
known, the common stock of the coun-
try always maturing late.
All this is now altered. The various
kinds of feed and the best methods OF
using them have become favorite sub
jects for discussion and disagreement,
while the experiment stations, with
their innumerable tables and formulas
by which to construct ''well-balanced
ration" add greatly to the general en-
lightenment and sometimes to the
general bewilderment, for feeding is
not and cannot be an exact science,
because the matter of price is one of
the prime factors IN the calculation
how to produce the greatest amount
at the least possible cost. This is just
where the skill of the feeder comes in,
and this is where experience counts.
He has learned the cheapest kinds of
feed in his locality and the proper
tions in which to mix them, and he
knows whether it is best to produce or
purchase them. He has also realized
the value of variety in the feed.
The introduction of the improved
breeds has brought up the question of
early maturity, with which we are all
now familiar. The quicker the stock
can be fitted for market the greater
the profit. Early maturity means the
largest proportion of muscle or lean
meat for the least food eaten, as we'll
as the attainment OF this condition at
the earliest possible age. All growth
is made from what is eaten in excess
of the amount necessary to support
life, and the quicker it reaches the
stage best fitted for food not only will
it have cost less per pound, but it will
have developed the tenderest and the
largest amount of lean meat. These
two factors are the prime considera-
tions of the consumer, and the feeder
who caters to them receives the larg-
est returns for his work. This is SO
well recognized that all progressive

erns have supposed that the chief OBJ

end in having Il good trunk for timber

chiefly for shoemakers' lasts-a bust

Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing

country seem to understand the value
of apple tree wood. 1t is stated in the
Country Gentleman that IL fruit grower

USES FOR POTATO TOPS,

be rejected by the COW and be thrown

stalks often are affected by the fungus
when it does not reach the potato

able manurial properties andit should
not be wasted. 1t is very rich in
potash, and as it rots very quickly, it
makes the best covering 1or straw

that will help the growth of the berry

PREPARING FOR THE WINTER DAIRY.


Don't be guilty of the carelessness
or unbusiness-like thoughtlessnes Of
having COWS served now or during the
next three months so they will come
in during the flush of feed and flood
OF milk. Neither cream nor butter
brings SO much then, and is really
difficult 10 dispose of. If the cows
rest any time, let them rest then
(whlle farm work is driving), and
calve in July, August or September.
Coming in at this time they will give
more milk than they would otherwise
do when milk and all dairy products
are high, andmore nearly equalize the
work of the year. Some foolishly
fear it will be impossible to get the
cows with calf if service is delayed,
but this proved to be fallacy. The
cows condition should be watched
and she should be treated patiently
while in season, but the time when
she is next TO calve may be controlled
rs most things in business life. Na-
ture calls for ninety per cent of the
calves in spring, when even calf will
scarcely sell because there are so many
of them. But the sensible farmer
does not always let nature dominate.
He has the market and other artificial
conditions to meet, and must cultivate
fresh cows at the periods of greatest
profit. New England Homestead.

Ticking AND MARKETING THE OUNCE.


The error of many growers is the
time of picking and the manner of
handling As ounces do not blow off
like apples or pears, many growers
pick when convenient and that may be
only after they have become yellow.
An experience of years in gr owing,
buying and shipping ounces causes
the writer to believe there is right
time to pick; that two days before the
time is too early, and two days after
that right time is too late for the good
of the fruit. A little too early, the
fruit is not well colored and it does
not present its best appearance in
market; little too late, especially if
the weather be warm, and it is over
ripe, and it is just then that black
spot, where it exists, gets in its work
rapidly.
People are cautioned, over and over
again to handle fruit carefully, and
this applies more to ounces than to
any other fruit. A slight bruise, from
dropping into the basket or turning
into the barrel, in forty eight hours
has become an ill-looking brown
patch. Slack packing in the barrel is
disastrous, for iruit carelessly put up
this way will hardly bring freight
charges. The moving about OF speci-
mems during transit, perhaps for hun
dreds OF miles, is ruination to the
whole package. Another thing to be
observed is to pack and ship at once,
or as soon as they are taken from the
bushes.
The writer's own ounces, while no
better than many others, have for
many years sold for from fifty cents to
n dollar per barrel more than average
ounces on account of the care in pick
ing and packing which made them
show we'll in market. The proverbial
"handle like eggs" applies very much
to the marketing of ounces. .-Ameri-

GOOD HOGS VALUABLE.

1t is difficult for some farmers to
appreciate the true value of good hogs
for breeding purposes. This is true
as much in the ranks Of the well-to-do
stock feeders as it is among the poorer
grain growers, who tremblo to think
of investing cent beyond the intrin-
sic pork value of breeding swine.
In the case of brood SOW, that has
the fattening quality, which all i'm
proved hogs should have, that trans
mitted to the offspring furnishes lit
ter of half dozen with the capacity
of carly maturity, the superiority
should be easily noted. The pig that
grows and fattens at $50 days of age
into $50 pounds weight at total of
food equivalent to but four-liIths OF
the amount fed to an ordinary "good
pig" is surely worth searching for
The improved swine OF the country
comprise a good proportion of vigor.
GUS feeder and with disposition to ap-
propriate their food to their growth
and the storing away of fat as well MS
flesh.
With right selection, by the exer-
else OF proper Judgment, the hog
breeders may produce from single
litter OF thoroughbred pigs fourth
more pork, to say the least, than
from the same number of the COM
mon sort. The pork, too, sells uuder
all conditions for fully one-tenth
more per pound. These results follow,
as rule, tie use of good sire, and
with due diligence in procuring the
best high grade OF pure bred dams, a
better showing can be made.
Six litters ordinarily furnish thirty
substantial pigs. On the basis of $50
pounds weight ut eight months, and
one-fifth of this as the result of using
a pure bred sire, we should have to
his credit fifty pounds per head, or
for thirty pigs in growth into mn.
turity 1909 pounds additional of pork,
worth ordinarily 81 per hundred in
the farmers yard, thus placing to the
credit of the improved sire alone $50.
Added to this conservative estimate
the gain which would accrue were
both sire and dams of the highest or
der, and 500 would be q moderate
limit to place on the increased value
of the exercise of brains, and diigent
care to get the best, and to do the
best in every way on each lot of a
half dozen sows, bred in the modern
methods of wide.awnke, thinking
| farmers,
OF course, the average farmer will
attain the above results on twice the
number of litters, if he exercises or
nary care. The ordinary increased
value of boar for such results is but
$15. Where sixty mature hogs are
grown from the use of good sire, the
profit on this $25 sire (allowing $40
for commercial value) where but q
speculation of SIS is made amounts to
eight times, or on but thirty pigs four
times the sum ventured. The profit
net on the thirty pigs, $45, will ordi.
narily pay all the taxes and more on
the average farm. 1t will also pay fol-
more than one acre of the average
farm. 1t thus follows that it pays to
think about the hogs. 1t is more i'm
portant still to act promptly, and Sc.
cure good breeding stock before the
season is passed for selecting the
best.-Farm, Field and Fireside
