attic and hog raising, until all are

cattle and hog raising, until all are
looking about for some more profitable
employment Most of the things
named are NV being sold on the
worlds markets, and, by the way,
most of our future products must COM
pete with the world. and if We must
be successful We must try to produce
what our natural advantages give us
prospect of successful competition.
We cannot now produce wool Or NUT
ton at a profit to sell in competition
with Australia, whose ocean freights
are cheaper than our rail rates, and
their natural advantages, cheap lands
and inability to do some other things
that We can do enable them to under
sell Us in the lines mentioned; and the
same is true with some of the South
American countries. The Nebraska
farmer cannot raise wheat in COMPETE
tion with the coolie of India, who is
glad to work for 10 or IL cents day,
and take his pay in silver coin at its
bullion value. and those of you who
have seen India wheat will agree that
it is, at least, as good as you can raise,
if not better, and so we might 60 on,
not only with our other stock and crop
interests, but We might refer to our
manufacturing interests, for every
thoughtful person must agree that
manufactured goods must sell even
lower in the future than they have sold
in the past, and as We must produce
something, and desire to produce those
things that will bring the best returns,
I can confidently recommend apple
growing to you, and assure you that
my belief is that no other product Of
the farm promises better returns than
time and money employed in CONNER
cial orchardiEg. But to obtain desired
results, good, careful, systematic. intel
ligent work is necessary, and to those
who are willing to employ such meth
DDS the rewards are sure.

Cost of Raising Wheat aad Corn.


According to estimates compiled at
the Ohio Experimental Station from
reports sent in by 10000 farmers, in
Guiding 1000 experts or specialists it
appears that the cost of raising an acre
of wheat is $50 in New England, SIS
in the middle states, $11 in the south
ern states. Sill in the west, SIG in the
mountains, and $12 in the Pacific
states. An acre Of corn cost SIS in New
England, $21 in the middle. $12 in the
southern, $11 in the western, $13 in
the mountains, and SIS in the Pacific
states. According to these correspond
ents, the average cost OF an acre Of
wheat in the whole United States is
$11.4S, and average value $6.16,
and average cost of an acre
of corn is $114S, and the
average value 1921. This does
not include straw and fodder. If these
estimates are correct it is evident that
there is nothing made in growing eth
er wheat or corn, unless it is in the
straw and fodder, or in the feeding to
stock. If there is fallacy in the fig
ureS will some reader point it out. Such
statements, il not true, ought not to
go neutrality-suspicious.
1t is without doubt generally true
that the farmer is selling his grain at
less than cost of production. 1t must
also be remembered that with every
bushel of grain goes nitrogen. potash
and PHOSPHORUS enough to make up q
good part of the price. Thus the fertil-
ity of his farm is slipping away with
out recompense, for the cost of produc-
ton does not take in loss of fertilizing
ingredients.

WEAVING Pigs.


Our experience is against weaving
pigs other than to let nature take its
course; by this method We get better
pigs. 1t is almost impossible to prevent
them from receiving check if weaned
at seven or eight weeks old, as some
advise. You not only check the growth
of the pig, but it seems great injury
would result to the SOW. No one would
take a calf from its mother, refrain
from milking her, and then expect the
cow to escape without injury, and sure
ly sow must be something like the
COW. Teach the pigs to eat at as early
an age as possible, gradually increase
the feed until about two months of age,
giving as much butter Or skim milk
as they will take along with what grair
they get, and weaving will not be hurt
full to either the pig or dam. More
loss of growth is incurred right here
than any period of the pigs life. If you
must wean them at an early age don't
do it Southern Swineherd.

makes the plant food more available.
The fertility has been present all the
time, but lay dormant because the
conditions did not permit Of its
use. The air enters the tiles and
permeates the soil in every direction.
Thus 1t is easy to see how and why
thing deepens the soil. In the swamps
and basins having clay subsoil, as
they nearly all have, that before drain
ing were difficult to pillow more than
four or five inches deep, can easily be
plowed twice the depth after draining.
A well-drained soil not only permits the
water to descend rapidly, but also to
ascend readily by capillary attraction.
One is about as necessary as the other
in rapid growth. 1t is certainly much
better to furnish an opportunity for II
to filter rapidly trough the soil than
to be slowly evaporated by the heat OF
summer. If permitted to soak into the
subsoil it is held there until needed
and used by the plants. 1t is difficult
to induce people to believe that tile
drainage is beneficial both in wet and
dry seasons, yet such is the case. Hav-
ing demonstrated that drainage deep
ems the soil, a little thought will con-
vince any one that two feet of porous
soil will absorb AMI hold more mois-
ture than one foot.
At an institute in southern Ohio a
gentleman asked me whether thought
it would pay to tile a strawberry bed
for the benefits during drought alone.
l replied that I was satisfied it would.
The berries contain a very large per
cent of water, and they cannot be fully
matured unless supplied with plenty
of moisture. If the plants were set
in low, wet place, they would suffer
from wet feet" and be "heaved up"
during winter and spring. Drained
soils freeze as well as undrained, but
not so deeply, and plants are not pulled
up and winter killed.-Drainage Jour-

Accelerated Paris Green.

Mr.. B. NJ. Lelong, at the February
meeting of the State Horticultural So
ciety of California, is reported to have
stated as follows:
In the past two years enormous
quantities of Paris green have been
sold to growers, much of which was
of very inferior quality. The results
were equally as poor, and many grow
ers have thus become prejudiced
against its use. Samples of Paris
green haze been examined with as
tOnishing results. Several samples, al
though of nearly the same shade of
color as the pure Paris green. were
found to be mixture of Prussian blue
and chrome yellow, clay and chalk.
Others were found to contain no arsen-
iOus acid. In many cases the fault
lies with the fruit growers themselves,
for we have continually advised them
to use the pure article, which costs 20
cents per pound. This advice has been
disregarded to a considerable extent
and the cheapest grades have been pur-
chased, with little or no results. 1t
was only last week that an extensive
apple grower visited several stores in
quest of Paris green. refused the pure
at 20 cents, and had a large quantity
shipped to him at AZ cents per pound.
You can therefore imagine the results
he will have. Pacific Rural Press.

product at $4,000 boxes, against less

attends in full uniform. The king is
received in grand ecclesiastical state

by the clergy Of the basilica at the

magnificent canopy to his seat with
in the chancel rails. He carries in
his hand gorgeously bound mass

An 1ncldent OF .he cuban war.

Frederick W. Lawrence, a Cuban
correspondent, sends to the New
York Journal the following story of a
woman's bravery, 1t happened in a
battle few days ago:
As the Spaniards were retreating
one woman was killed while perform.
ing an act of courage that has been
without parallel among the women of
war, and three men lost their lives
while trying to save her. She was
Sonora Paquta Alvarez, one of the fe-
male company that Sonora Hernandez
organized.
Sonora Alvarez's husband was in
the battle, and during the retreat he,
with two Cubans, saw a chance to
capture Lieut.. Col. Debos. The Span
lard had moved little too far from
the right flank of his command, and
Alvarez and his companions made a
dash for him. Debos saw the move
ment, and ran for the shelter of his
troops, The Cubans rashly pur-
sued him too far, and in moment
found themselves fighting fol their
lives with score of the enemy.
Sonora Alverez saw her husband s
danger and rushed to the rescue, fol
lowed by two Cuban soldiers, who
were determined that she should not
be unprotected Sonora Alvarez fell
on the Spaniards surrounding her
husband with the ferocity of tigress.
He was fighting alone. The two
other men who started to capture the
Colonel with Alvarez were both dead.
Quarters were two close to
permit the use of rifles, SO Senior and
Sonora Alvarez and the two Cubans
who followed her were fighting with
machetes. 1t was battle against
fearful odds.
Suddenly Alvarez thought he saw
a chance of fight through the line to
safety. He called to his wife to fol-
low and started off toward the rebel
column through living wall, but
Sonora Alvarez, who was too weak to
cope with so many soldiers and the
two men who formed her volunteer es-
cort were not equal to the task OF
overcoming the number who closed in
behind Alvarez.
Sonora Alvarez and her escort were
cut to pieces in sight of their friends.
AS they fell shouting sylvia Cuba Lii
bre" the 5000 rebel soldiers answer
ed the cry. Even the Spaniads cross
ed themselves in recognition of such
fanatical cot rage,
Senior Alvarez did not know that
his wife was not with him until he ar
rived inside the Cuban lines. When
he learned what had happened he put
the muzzle of his pistol to his breast
and fired.
