FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Sheep kept in a thrifty condition
grow the most wool.
To a very considerable extent people
make for themselves the conditions of
life.
Even with the most carefully pre-
pared food the greater portion digested
goes to supply heat and energy.
Because poor sheep have light feeces
is not proof that fat sheep have heavy
ones.
Good stock, crops, fertility and in
dustry are essential items in good
farming.
Confining any farm animal in dark
quarters is injurious to it and, there
fore, more or less damaging to the
owner.
One of the reasons why many fail to
make farming as profitable as they
might is because of lack of attention
to details.
In nearly all cases it is unwise to
discard all of the old sows at one time
and supply their places with young
untried ones.
The cow which will proftably con-
vert the largest amount of food into
rich milk or crefm is the most profit
able to keep.-Farmers' Union.

INTELLIGENT EFFORT.
Upon It Depends the Success of Every
Farmer In America.

Upon 1t Depends the Success OF Every
Farmer In America.
A farmers success surely depends
upon effort, but in reckoning the value
of his effort, the quality is of greater
Importance than the other amount.
A little intelligent effort goes much
farther than great deal of misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sons of toll who, having wrested wealth
from the forest and field by the might
of their brawny arms, are inclined to
belittle other methods than those which
they employed, and to pooh-pooh at
what they call 'new-fangled notions"
but times and conditions change, and
we must change with them. The law
yer, the doctor, the preacher, the me-
chanic in every line, if he would
achieve the greatest success, studies
constantly and never fails to adopt
every good new thing he finds; would
the farmer belittle his vocation by say
ing it is SO purely the work of drudgery
that there can be no improvement?
Certainly not; in hardly any other oc-
cupation of man is there such a broad
field for the application of scientific
knowledge, such great opportunities
for constant and important improve
ments, and it is upon his ability to
make these Improvements his own.

Keep the Straw ON the Farm.

A travelling man recently stated in our
presence that he once heard farmer
say he would as soon think of selling
the corner stone of his barn as to sell
load of straw. The corner stone of the
barn supports the barn; the straw is
the supporter of the fertility of the
farm, from which arises the force of
comparison. In the part of the state
where the man heard this, he failed to
see a straw stack. All of it had been put
into large barns and carefully pre-
served. The same farmer justly re-
marked that cold bed of ice was not
conducive to the happiness Of calf

TWO SWINE DISEASES.
How to Treat Animals Suffering from
Thumps or ScOurs.

How to Treat Animals Suffering from
Thumps or Scours.
In his address before a Wisconsin
institute, S. H. Todd gave the following
remedies and treatments for two conf
mon troubles in swine:
Thumps.-You ask what to do for it
1 say feed your brood sow differently.
If you don't you are sure to have that
disease which has carried off so many
thousand pigs. If you have the disease
sometimes it is good to apply coal oil on
the stomach of the pig, bathing him
thoroughly, and perhaps giving him q
little; another good thing is to give the
pigs exercise, and if they won't take It
themselves, go in with little switch
and drive them out. But the best thing
is to prevent it, and very often it is
wisest to take club and give them one
more thump and get out of it in that
way. If they wear the disease out the.
pigs will never amount to much. We
are justified in keeping only the kind of
pigs that will return to us the greatest
profit, according to the present market
price of pork.
Scours.-How many times we make a
mistake in not feeding the mother prop
erly, and the pigs get to securing, and
they are put back for whole week or
more. We must feed her very lightly,
and if the pigs do commence to scour
give her teaspoonful of copperas; dis
solve it in her slop; that will regulate
the whole business. After the pigs are
two or three weeks old provide place
for them by themselves and begin to
feed them. Here again don't make the
mistake of having one of those v
shaped troughs unless you want your
pigs to have long noses and to wrangle
over their food and spill swill all over
themselves. They want to be clean,
that is their nature, but you have pre-
vented them from being so. Let them
have little trough by themselves and
have the feed as near like milk as you
can make it. We use oilmeal and corn;
! had rather use middlings than any
thing else, with little oilmeal. 1
think that is the best pig food that we
can get. Make the food thin; use wa
ter, if you haven't milk.

An Ocean Post.

The island of ST. kilda is only about
100 miles from the mainland of Scot
land. Yet the latest letters from the
island only came down to March 3, and
they were but recently received. They
came by the usual mode of conveyance,
the ocean post-committing letter TO
the waves when the wind is from the
west in the hope that it might reach
some part of the Hebrides or the main
land and be picked up there. The
winds do not always hold long enough
to carry the box across the sea in safety,
and when the wind is in the right direc-
ton the letter box must often be car
ried ashore at some inaccessible spot
where there is no one who can reach it.

eight feet long, four feet in the ground.
About six inches from the end that
goes into the ground, cut two notches,
two by four inches, on opposite sides of
the post; spike into these notches two

feet long, and let about six inches pro-
ject past on one side, the remainder on
the other side. Dig the hole four feet
deep, and long enough parallel with

with the long ends of the scantings from
the fence. Get large bowlder, the
larger the better, and place on these
scantlings, fill up with dirt, and lamp
well. also put in brace parallel from
the first to the second post.
The cut will show what I mean: a

Save Every Ounce of Fertility.

Do not let an ounce of fertility on the
farm go to waste. Utilize everything
that has in it any elements that will
enrich the soil, and take such care of
your manures that the best part of
them is not lost before they reach your
fields. Every farm should have COM
post heap, where all sorts of refuse
from the house, barn and yards can be
thrown. Aegood many tons of the most
valuable fertilizers can be saved in this
manner, fertilizers that now go you
know not where.-Rural World.

One does not wish to paint every

country and the society of but few of
ones own race, do not constitute an at
tractive prospect for most men; but, as
I must insist, there is independence
from hard grinding conditions in trop-
ical agriculture. A few cases in point:
A friend of mine came here many years
ago, married charming Mexican girl,
has pretty family, and, after drifting
from one thing to another, hit on sugar.

sweet, and that he goes to Europe next
year.
Another friend was drifting about the
streets of this old City of Mexico, doing
almost nothing. He began to think of
the hot country and what it might
offer, took the train, got down there,
explored, took up little land, and now.
after four years, would not sell his pos
sessions at less than 100000. He is a
sugar and coffee planter.

scalpel, and is now making sugar and
$4,000 year at the same time. He says
he is only beginning, and that in two
years more he shall pass his summers
yachting off the New England coast.

their trials and their obstacles to over
come. But they had pluck, fertility
of resource, tact in handling the native
laborers. and they are now Independent

How to Do 1t So That They VIII Not

In fence building, one can very easily
spend plenty of money, and if not care
full in selecting the kind of fence, and
building it, one will be disappointed IN
year or two, to find his fence all
sagged and out of shape. For cheap
ness, durability and neatness, there is
nothing better than either the smooth
wire fence, or woven picket. The end
posts are the secret of success. These
must be solid, as the strain all comes
on them.
I will try to illustrate my way of
bracing an end post, that holds them
perfectly solid. The plan is original
with me, and am glad to say that there
is no patent on it. The end post should

THE fact that Mr.. G. H. Williams,
of East Sound, has within two years
obtained Sl25 in prizes offered by three
of the great seed houses of the country
for the production of the best potatoes,
turnips and oats of certain varieties
raised in the United States or Canada,
is worthy of more than ordinary con-
sideration, not merely by THE ISLAND
Err but by the farmers of the county
generally. 1t is a splendid advertise
ment of the superior qualities of our
soil and ample verification of our oft
repeated assertions that no section of
the country can excel our favored little
county in the line of vegetable pr0duc-
ton, under proper conditions of Guilt
walton. Good seed and good soil alone
will not produce fine crops, there
must be thorough cultivation. 1t is
not likely that the conditions under
which Mr.. Williams won his prizes
were any better than those which are
within the reach of scores of farmers
in this county. Whether one is work
ing for special prizes or not it pays to
produce first-class things, whether
they belong to the vegetable or the
animal kingdom.

In sailing bacon use one bushel OF
fine salt. two pounds of brown sugar
and one of saltpetre for each 500 pounds
of nork: this for the medium sized hogs.
If the meat is large and thick, add a
little stronger ratio of the preserving
ingredients.
The objection to seeding down an
orchard to grass is that it takes
from the soil the moisture needed by
the trees, and when allowed to grow
close to the trees seems to choke them.
Glover does net have this effect, nor
does it usually make a rank growth
under the trees. 1t rather tends to re-
tain moisture by it's shade.
A writer in the last American Agri-
ctllturist tells the result of spraying i'll

but once he got IS per cent of perfect
fruit, while on the remaining part of
the orchari, which he sprayed twice,
he got SO per cent. He used paris green,

first spraying was made when the APP
piles were not larger than peas; the
next about a week later.
