Wheat sold in 1910 from 3S cents to
90 cents per bushel. In 1850 it had
risen to SO cents. In 1873 its market
price was S8 cents, and in 1891 it reached
SI.o3. During the period from 1878 to
1891 it vacillated in price, according to
the production at home and the expor-
tations from foreign competing coun-
tries. In 1873 the paper dollar was
worth but S7.9 cents in gold, which, in
fact, made the price of wheat lower
than is indicated in the table of statis-
tics.

The farm that is covered with weeds

During dry weather you must be

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.

Few feeders believe in giving extra
food to sucking pigs before they are
four weeks old. The size of the litter,
Of course, requires earlier feeding
when the dam is young or deficient IN
her milk secretion. The danger os in
digestion in the youngsters warrants
one in being tardy in mixing now milk
with a natural ration.
The first and best ration is mix
ture OF pure oatmeal (same as used on
your own table)with sweet CSim milk,
and it should be cooked to suit your
own taste and relish. Then thin the
same with milk which has been heated
and allowed to cool. For three days
or q week this mixture should be the
only slop given the youngsters. Then,
if expense is too great, the oatmeal
can be replaced by wheat shorts or
"middlings. If clear oatmeal is out
OF the question to begin with, the
shorts may be substituted.

Buff Plymouth Rocks, since being

oughbred fowls, have taken unusual
hold upon every one who has tried
them. They seem to be q favorite
among market people for MANY
reasons. They are like the Barred

Nh attractive appearance; they mature
early, lay fine, large eggs, and are
very tamo and easily handled. The
skin is rich yellow when dressed !;
the meat is usually very juicy and
richly favored. The good, even buff
color should not be too deep, and
should incline more to lemon than to
red. 1t is n shade deeper than lemon.

THE GARDEN A HELP TO GOOD LIVING.

The farmers garden is not only the
best paying piece of land on the farm,
but it is the one that if managed rs it
should be best shows what advantages
farm life may offer. 1t is not credit
able to farmers that the residents of
cities and villages are able to secure
cheaply better supplies of fresh gar
den vegetables than can the farmer.
1t ought not to be so. Even in the
matter of earllness, it is within the
power of the farmer with good
greenhouse to compete for his own
table with the market gardener, even
in tho winter and early spring. But
if he does not care to 60 to this ex-
peuse, no will Ee inexcusable if he
does not provide an abundant variety
of everything that can be grown IN the
garden in the open air. If the farmer
was obliged, as his wife is, to provide
the material three times day for
wholesome and palatable meals, he
would pay more attention to the gar
den than he does. In any we'll ordered

CCLTlvATING LIMA EEANS.

There are SO many excellent kinds

varieties that the pole beans are no

ccpt the large Iima-for which the
bush lima is no kind of IL substitute.
The alleged substitute is small in size
and yield, and is devoid OF the soft
ness, buttery tenderness, and flavor OF
the climbing kind, SO that for this the
old kind of support in the shape OF
poles must be provided.
In the choice of poles for the lima
beans the common mistake is made of
using smooth poles, trimmed like n
whip stock. Experience proves the
error Of this choice, for the vines. hav-
ing no hold on the poles, slip down ;
indeed, the instinct of the plants seems
to teach them that this kind of sup
port is not what they want, for we all
know how the vines go trailing any
where except up the smooth poles, as
if looking for something better for
their use.
If the twigs on the poles arc cut off
so as to leave stubs an inch or two
long, these afford the needed holding
places for the vines to support them
selves on. A single years experience
showed that the vines took to these i'm

than to the smooth sticks. You can
not have the ground too rich for lima
beans. A slight dressing of nitrate of
soda will produce an enormous yield

genous. New York Times.

CuOPEING WOOD.


Chopping wood is al art. All wood
men agree that there is q ''knack" or
"sleight" about it. The man who
leaves n "fox-eared" stump is hack
er and not chopper. Usually there
is very little that is commendablc in
the ways Of woodmen. When they are
careful, however. they should have the
credit of it. 1t is quite the custom in
the pine woods OF Southern New Jer-
sey to leave seed trees, and, what is
still moro commendable, they leave
the smooth bark (Pinus cchinata) and
not the rough bark pine (Pinus rigida).
This is practicing forestry in very
crude way. A few choppers burn the
limbs after them-that is, they fall a
strip of trees to the left, then thu
neighboring strip to the right, SO that
the tops and limbs form n windrow. If
the wind is right they burn it, and in
that way reduce the danger from fire
IN summer and destroy what may be-
come breeding place for pestiferous
insects. A good chopper leaves the
proper kind of stump. If it is pine
there is no difference, since pine pro-
duces no coppice growth of value, and
| the stump soon decays. If it is oak or
chestnut it is an important matter. A
good chopper cuts tree close to the
ground, and leaves clean, sloping
top to the stump. If the bark is not
split and the cut is clean it will not
rot, and the coppice growth which fol-
lows will be healthier and in ten or
fifteen years fit for fuel. There is no
reason for using such large frewood.
Although more tedious to cut in the
woods, there is more of it in the same
bulk, it is more easily handled, easier
to cut and split on the woodpile, dries
quicker and makes n quicker and hot.
