Fl. Fl. Mack of the Detroit Free Press
recently read a paper entitled 1.-The Mill
ions to be Found in the Mines of Waste -
Winter idleness has greatly to do with
farmers income, he said. What bust
ness could live if one worked only four
or five months in the year? The farmer
should be just as busy in the winter as
in the summer, and winter dairying is
the occupation best suited to keeping a
man busy in winter. It may seem
strange to some, but many farmers
waste too much time in work; time that
should be employed in reading, studying
and thinking. The reading, thinking
farmer is the one who is ahead and will
continue to stay there. Of course, no
farmer will succeed who does not work,
but to work sixteen hours Il day until
he is so worn out that he does not feel
like reading and thinking is great mis-
take: Life is too short to be spent in
world we must get as we go along Be
sides, to break down the health and
weaken the nervous system is not econ
omy.
Another mistake is in not properly d.
viding the time as regards different kinds
of work to be done, letting one job tres
pass upon the time that rightfu]ly be-
longs to another. Then there is the
waste of buying INFESTED varieties of
seed and high-priced thoroughbred stock
when the purchaser does not know how
to feed and care for it. Another loss
comes from buying-on time-articles
that could have been left unbought.
Time and money are often wasted in Sc
curing what is called liberal education,
taking the best part of Il mans life.

Dispatch. would recommend planting

both ways.
In cultivating beans that are drilled in.
there will be Il strip of land that will not
be stirred from the time the beans are
planted until the beans are pulled.
l think farmers that raise 80 to 100
acres of beams Il year drill in the beans
to save time, yet l know of some that
plant from 40 to 60 acres, and plant with
hand planters. The only objection to
planting 100 acres to beans with hand
planters is the difficulty in obtaining suf-
ticient help to plant them as they should
be.
In rowing beans both ways, % to 30
inches apart, it is very important that
the beans should be planted on the mark
Also, that the marks be reasonably
straight, for if this is not done, you will
experience some trouble when you come
to cultivate two rows at time.

acre, planted 80 inches apart, both ways
1t is some more work to pant beans
than to drill them, us you save the time
and trouble Of marking the ground, etc.
but think you will be paid for all your
extra time. Your beans will do better
your field will be free from weeds, and
you will have nice clean seed bed for

Feeding Milk.


There is hardly any doubt that with
good management Il better profit can be
realized in feeding the milk to thrifty
growing pigs than to make butter, take
to the country stores and sell at the price
usually received, ut least during the great
er part Of the season, and ut consider
able saving of time and labor. But in
feeding milk to pigs to make the most of
it, in nearly all cases it must be fed in
connection co, with something else. From
the time the pig is farrowed until it is
ready to finish for market, milk can be
made it's entire food, and later on its
principal food. The milk must ut first
be supplied by feeding the SOW with good
milk-prOducing food, and as soon as the
pig learns to eat it can be fed milk and
if the SOW is fed sloppy foods made up
with milk the pig will learn to eat much
earlier than if corn or grain of any kind
is depended upon.
But in nearly all cases the best way of
foods, as it requires too large an amount of
milk alone to make Il pound of gain in
Il pig. But made into Il slop with mid
dlings and bran, it not only makes n
healthy. but an economical food. But
even then the lowest cost of growth
will not be realized unless, i'll addition,
good pasturage is provided. Give grow
ing pigs the run of Il good pasture
clover is always best-and then feed a
good milk slop night and morning, and
in a majority of cases the best growth
at tho lowest cost can be realized by max
ing into butter at s or 10 cents a pound
at the country store, and all of the labor
of butter making be avoided in addition.
1t is true that in a majority of cases the
same milk and the same amount of labor
spent in making poor butter will, with
different management, make butter that
will bring two or three times that much

white and black men in the same gang
at tho same hatch. Smothers called on
Sherin LungrldRo curly in the morn
ing and stated that he expected trouble.
as he had received instructions from
the ngents to work white end blacks
together.
The Sheriff advised him to see the
agents and endeavor to have the mon

trouble. Smothers did not do this. but
attempted to follow out the lpstruc.
