Hog FeedIng for Market.

Hogs fed through the summer are
the earliest made ready for market.
The pigs should come in April, so as
be turned into the clover Feed sow
and pigs on slush food of ground oats
and corn and wheat bran, mixed with
water, or milk if you can spare it, in
the proportion of one-fourth bran, one
fourth corn and two-fourths oats. To
every bushel of dry mixed feed add a
quart of oil meal. This food produces
lots of milk in the SOW, and bone
and muscle in the pigs. 1t also
keeps the stomach enlarged so that it
will hold large quantities of the soaked
corn meal on which feed them six to
eight weeks before marketing. This
corn meal should be of the best quality.
Mix it with water, just enough to
dampen it thoroughly, so that it will
shovel like wet sand. AS one feed is
dealt out the next feed should be put
to soak. Pure Poland Chinas fed in
this way twice day will be market

A small flock of 80 or 40 sheep can be
kept on the farm with little or no ex-
pense. and will prove profitable in
nearly every case. Here is what John
Williamson, of Iowa, says in Farm,
Stock and Home: Il have a snug little
farm of 100 acres, and among my stock
will always be found from 30 to
so sheep. My little flock and 1
are great friends. and l, would
not think of getting on without
them. Nothing raise or grow

other thing pays me SO well-my real

to figure that the wool and mutton I
get costs enough to pay for counting,
for the sheep eat what would be vast

Tho Farmers Boy.

The boy on the farm is just about
the same kind of boy you will find
everywhere. He is susceptible to the
same influences, and, given the same
opportunity, he will accomplish about
the same results as his fellow in the
town or city. With perhaps this to
his advantages: The farmer boy is
nearer to natures great heart, and
comes to understand her ways; and
again, the solitude of the farm gives
him opportunity for communion with
self as well as with nature, and he is
apt, if he is thinking boy, tocome to a
better understanding with himself and
to know his powers and limitations
better than his urban prototype.
Boys everywhere need the stimulus
Of self interest, and this is too ofte n
denied them on the farm. What he
does goes into the general fund, as it
were, and he does not see how much he
is doing to swell it. If the farmer
wo ald keep his boy On the farm and
make him a factor in it's successful
operations, fit the young man to take
his place and carry on the work wher
he is gone, or keep him from seeking
a home and fortune out in the grea'

Another Octopus.

Hon. r. I. Nesbitt, Georgia's com.
missioner of agriculture, has issued
the following circular to the farmers
of Georgia and the south:
A few years ago we were confronted
by gigantic monopoly, the bagging
trust, which endeavored to force from
farmers thousands of dollars, which in
their depressed condition they could ill
afford to lose. By united effort among
the farmers this evil was averted and
the huge octopus which had fastened
itself on southern agriculture was
destroyed. To-day we are confronted
by similar trouble. The manufacture
ers of cotton ties have formed another
grand combination, and, without any
reason, except to crafty an unlawful
greed. have entered into an agreement
to advance the price of their goods 100
per cent. If the price of iron had adj
vanced there might be some reason
for this action, but iron was never
cheaper, and the. same must be said of
coal and labor
The fact is simply that an effort IL
being made to force the farmers of the
south to contribute millions of dollars
to swell the profits of powerful COM
bination of manufacturers.
The farmers are in good condition
just now to fight this trust. They have
their provisions; there are few debts
to be met until later; therefore no
pressing necessity to force their cot
ton on the market. ] would advise
that they hold meetings in every sec
ton of the south and denounce this eff
fort to defraud them of their earnings.
At the same time, let them advise to-
gether as to the best methods of meet
ing this new enemy. In the meantime,
the department which 1 represent will
make every effort to investigate such
substitutes for cotton ties as will meet
the requirements of durability and
safety. r. L. NEsBITT,
