The Pig Pen.

Crowd the young porkers that you
wish to turn off in December.
Keep hog cholera out. 1t is not safe
to depend upon knocking it out.
1t costs more to raise scrub swine
than thoroughbreds, and they do not
fatten so easily nor bring SO much.
1t is possible, by cleaning out the
pen once or twice week, and disinfect-
ing it with lime to keep the place in a
sweet. presentable condition.
Away with the idea that winter made
pork does not pay. Men that are pre-
pared for such work often claim the
greatest profit from winter feeding.
Never allow the permiums won by the
sire and dam to dazzle your eyes when
looking at the pig. Size up the pig first,
then his pedigree, and the reputation Of
the ancestry last.
Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin Elk
pertinent Station, finds that cabbages

Coming of Autumn,

Autumn wandered through the WOODLAND
Touching with his wand each tree;
Summer stood reluctant, crying,
Bring my beauties back to me-"
But the maple leaves grew crimson,
Ripened fruit hung everywhere;
And the harvester spoke, smiling,
"Autumn's charms are full as fair
Summer, weeping, wrung her fingers,
Then cleaned forth the golden rod =
Asters by the laughing brooklet
Give new beauty to the sod;
Mother Nature viewed the picture,
Smiled as fell the first white frost
Sweetly said. ''The summers beauty
Will return, for naught is lost"

Wonderful Work of Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect pound
of clover honey, deprive $4,000 clover
blossoms of their nectar. To do this
the $4,000 flowers must be visited by
AN aggregate of 3,75O,OOO bees Or, in
other words, to collect it's pound Of
honey one bee must make 3,75O,000
trips from and to the hive. The enor-
nous amount Of work here involved
precludes the idea Of any one bee ever
living long enough to gather more than
q fraction of a pound Of nectarine
sweets. AS bees are known to fly for
miles in quest of suitable fields of OPP
eration, it is clear that single ounce
of honey represents millions Of miles of
travel. It Is no wonder that these in
dustrious little insects have earned the
reputation of being busy" bees.

scale, the punches were pulled by hand
and placed in piles until thoroughly
dried out. To-day large growers use
machines for cutting off the plants. A
puller is shown in Fig. /. Two rows
are pulled at the same time. The hori-
zontal knives run just beneath the sur
face of the ground and cut off the
stems. The tops are brought close to-
gether by the rods above the knives.
They can then be easily gathered up
with fork and placed in the shock.
Allow the shocks to remain in the field
until thoroughly dried. The shocks
after thorough drying can be placed in
a stack or hay NOW. Care must al
ways be exercised to prevent much
packing while being stored, otherwise
molding will ensue. Avoid tramping
by placing board for the operator to
stand upon. When ready thresh, using
a bean thresher. Small lots are beaten
out with fail, and cleaned by means
of hand tanning mill.
After threshing it pays to pick out
the broken beans, also the discolored
ones. Especially is this true where the
crop is raised for seed. This may be
accomplished by spreading out upon
White-covered table and removing the
trash and defective beans. A number
of machines have been invented for ex-
pediting this work, one Of which is
shown in Fig. 9. The beans to be
picked are placed in the hopper. A
force feed passes them regularly
through the hopper into the perforated
cylinder, where they are freed from
dust and trash. They then fall upon a
white canvas belt which is moving
slowly toward the operator. While on
this canvas, the discolored and broken
specir ems are easily seen and removed.

Curing Corn Fodder in Cock.

Curing Corn Fodder in Cock.
When corn fodder is cut while the
weather is still dry it will cure in bet
ter shape and with less loss if put up in
small cocks rather than in stocks. The
reason is that as days shorten and
nights rapidly lengthen there is not
sunlight and warmth enough in the
daytime to cure the stalks as rapidly as
they should be. In the cock the stalks
will heat, bringing the temperature up
to 100 or more, night as well as day. If
little dry straw is thrown on the cock
so as to absorb the moisture at night,
when the outside cold air condenses it,
the stalks below it will come out green
looking, yet slightly softened from the
heat to which they have been subjected.
Stalks thus cured will be eaten much
more readily than stalks that have
dried up by being exposed in stocks to
drying winds. All farmers have no
ticed that in winter it is the corn stalks
that have been heated and even nodded
in the NOW that will be preferred by
cows to stalks that have been dried in
the wind and without the heat needed
to soften the outer shell of the stalk.
The moist stalks are also more nutri-
tious, as in drying out the carbon in
them turns into woody fibre, nearly in
digestible. In putting up the cocks they
should be small, so as not to heat too
much and blacken the stalks. For the
same reason they should not be left
long before being drawn to the barn or

Winter and Summer Prices of Esgs.

Winter and Summer Prices of EgSs.
Always in the fall the price OF eggs
goes up, partly because the supply de-
creases then, and also because with cool
weather those VINO prepare eggs for
keeping in winter have more confidence
and begin to buy extensively. We have
often wished that no method had ever
been discovered for preserving eggs.
Then the winter price would be always
what it costs to produce eggs in win
ter. Both the egg producer and the
consumer would then be better salts
fed. 1t really discourages the use Of
eggs to buy some and have them plain
ly trifle stale, not changed enough
as the dealer will tell you to hurt them.
The truth is that an egg not perfectly
fresh is an abomination. If only such
were sold in market there would be bet,
ter prices all the year round. But in
such weather as we had in August an
egg will spoil from the natural heat Of
the atmosphere in two days, so that it
will not be fit to use. The refrigerator
must be used more in keeping eggs, not
to chill them, but to cool the tempera-
ture around them.

Barn cisterns.

It is bad for stock to depend on water
drawn from wells near barnyards, as
it is sure after term of years to be-

a barn cistern with filter at the out

offers better security of pure water
than can be had from water taken from
a well. Some care must be taken to
prevent dust and dirt being washed in
to the cistern from roofs. After thresh-

leaves are flying, the cave trough
should be frequently cleaned so that as
little dirt as possible be washed into
