quested us more than once to call the
attention of postmaster Taylor to the
very small space he has left for the

ask him if he cannot turn the office or
box part around SO as to give more
room. The space given to the public
is not over four or five feet by fifteen
which is entirely too small. Mr.. Tay.
Tor could give great deal more space

and use the small room as part of the

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The difference in value between fer
mented and unfermented manure is
very little.
Artichokes can be killed by blowing
them under, after they have begun to
grow well.
If stranger asks you to sign any
thing, refuse, point to the front gate,
and whistle for the dog.
The Missouri experiment station has
found that tile drains on upland clay
with fair surface drainage have rot
thus far given sufficient increase in the
yield of corn, mangels and sugar bcets
to warrant the expense of tilling.
Stick to the good, everyday common
sense of the farm, and do not forget
that, while there is strong city de-
mand for the genuine article, the brain
crop is one of the most profitable that
can be grown and used on the farm.
1t is cheaper and better to get the
struggling stumps and stones out of
the fields than to attempt to work
around them with reaper, mower, c,il-
tivator or harrow. Many valuable i'm
plements are annually injured needless
ly from stumps or stones.-Colman

nail rough boards, as shown in the cross
secvtion in Fig. 1. This will hold the
heaped-up earth in place till the sod is
applied, and thereafter will give great
fi1mness to the terrace until nature so
compacts all the materials as to make
slipping impossible, as shown in Fig. 2.
There is shown in this cross-section
an excellent point in applying turf to
terraces. The end of the roll is begun on
the level top of the terrace, and is carried
out over the edge and down the slope,
THUS giving no open crack at the upper
edge, where an opening is specially
detrimental to the well-being of a ter
race. AS sharp and distinct an edge can
be made in this way as where the OPEN
ing comes at the edge, while the results
of the former practice are far superior.

Feeding Corn Alone to Pigs.

The Illinois experimental station, in
bulletin No. 6, gives the results in tab
ulated form of 16 experiments made in
feeding corn alone to pigs. These ex-
periments were made in nine different
months of the year, and showed excel
lent work. The average of the 16 lots
showed 111s pounds live weight made
from Sc pounds of corn; with corn
worth 35 cents per bushel this would
make pork cost trihe over cents per
pound. The poorest results were OBJ
tanned from work done in January,
which showed 6.O3 pounds from one
bushel of corn fed to pigs weighing 1OS
pounds each. The next poorest results
were obtained in June, July and August,
and showed s.2S pounds per bushel OF
corn fed to pigs weighing 2os pounds
each. The third poorest result was in
July, and showed 500 pounds per bushel
fed to pigs of 223 pounds weight The
best work was done in December, and
showed 1854 pounds from one pushei OF
corn. .--s---. -.
