packers had trade In the south and
West Indies for heavy side-meat, and
lard was ready-sale at all seasons and
everywhere, they preferred heavy hogs
and never complained of their being

adulteration and substitution, and can
use 7O000,0O0 pounds of cotton-seed
oil year in the lard refneries.
The wastes of the cotton gin

HERE AND THERE.

"A poor horse under poor farmer
may not be pleasing sight, but the
combination is appropriate.
On all badly-worn clay soils, or
loans underlaid by clay, subsoiling is
the great mechanical restorative.
DO not confine your poultry-keep-
ing to hens alone. Diversity is just as
desirable in this as in other farm prac-
tees. Besides ducks lay more eggs than
do hens and sell higher.
Whipping shying and frightened
horse is senseless and cruel. Pain does
not relieve fright, but the assuring
voice of kind driver does. Whipping
makes confirmed shyers, because the
horse connects the pain with the OBJ
iect of his fear, and is more afraid OF
it thereafter.
Farm chickens which have the run
of the fields are the healthiest and the
most profitable, because they get such
variety Of feed and insects. There Is
too much which is artificial about the
usual poultry yard, and only they are
successful who recognize and remedy
THE ~ much as possible,

HIS BAD "BREAK."
How Foreigner Got Mixed Up on Eng

How n Foreigner Got Mixed Up on Eng

great confusion and trouble TO foreign
ers who attempt to learn the language.

describes the trouble Frenchman had
with the verb "to break"

bois, to me, "but your verbs trouble me
still; you mix them up so with the prep

"oh, yes, I remember; break up
school,"
"Why does she do that?' I asked.
Because her health is broken into"

"She thinks she will leave it for thrc;

Sweet Potatoes as Stock Food.

The department OF agriculture has
issued bulletin treating OF sweet po-
tatoes and their uses. Only In local..
ties favored with transportation facili.
ties and good markets is the sweet-po-
tato sale crop. But as food for
stock the department thinks it should
be extensively grown in regions
adapted to it. The roots have been
successfully fed to hogs, cattle and
horses For cattle and horses it is bet
ter to slice the roots. OF all classes of
stoclS-hogs can be used to consume sweet
potatoes to the best advantage, since
they do their own digging.
Sweet potato vines are usually left to
decay in the field where they are grown.
However, they may be used as food for
cattle. An analysis of very succulent
sweet potato vines, grown in Texas,
showed them to be practically identical
in chemical composition with succu-
lent COW pea vines, of which the feed
ing value is well established.
Vines of five varieties were analysed
at the Georgia station, and showed con.
siderable difference in composition. IL
is claimed that the vines of the So
called vineless variety, which stand up
well, can be cut with n moving ma
chine, but to permit of this it will be
necessary to cultivate nearly level.
The vines are better suited for feeding
green than for curing into hay. In the
sill they are said to become Shiny. A
writer says he weighted heavy crop
of green vines, and found that the
weight was five and one-sixth tons per
acre. At the Texas experiment sta
tion the yield of green vines was much
greater.
The sweet potato is a valuable crop.
They are worth raising for stock feed
alone, but sometimes it happens that
there is good local demand at very
remunerative prices. The man who
has large yield when the general
crop is poor, generally gets good pay
for his efforts. If prices are unsatis
fac tory it would pay to try the expert
ment of feeding stock.-Rural World

Every true farmer, in all his opera
tions upon the farm, strives for success,
a condition that depends very much
upon his own exertions.
In order to bring forth satisfactory
crops, the soil, no matter how fertile,
must be properly prepared for the seed
to be planted, and suitably titled for
the good of the growing crop. In the
preparation of the soil no half way
work, no slipshod method will answer
the purpose. The soil must be pulver-
lied and loosened, and can not be so
rendered by cut and cover process,
that moves half and allows the other
half to remain undisturbed. There is
no excuse in these days Of improved
plows for poor preparation of SOIL
The seed requires this preparation
in order that there may be an oppor-
tunity for the roots to extend them
selves in their search for food, which
is so far as it is contained in the soil,
more valuable in proportion as the soil
is more finely pulverized; otherwise
there would be no special demand for
any movement of the soil whatever.
But let anyone try the experiment;
plant some seed where the soil is
hard and firm, and has not been dis
turbed by pillow or other implement,
and then by the side of this pull
verize tae soil by any artificial means
and mark the difference in growth.
The same rule applies to after tillage.
that is, to the general cultivation OF
the crop. The more "A soil is loosened
the better adapted it is to the passage
of the atmosphere through it from
which it absorbs fertilizing elements,
and by the action Of which these ele-
ments, which it already contains, are
rendered more available.
These matters must be understood by
farmers, and being acted upon, will aid
very much in the general success
