FArTENING HOGS COSTS ONE CEN.

The editor recently heard of a farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent n
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 bu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn. yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas, etc. Now,
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer, gardener and cit
izen, and the editor believes that it
would pay everybody a hundred-fold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas-
ing seeds.
IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND it
with 10 cents postage to the John A.
Salzer Seed Co.. La Crosse, Wis, they
will mail you their mammoth seed cata-
logue and 10 samples of grasses and
grains. including above corn and bar

| tity was added, but it was mixed
with the top half of the soil only
10 another the same quantity was
mixed with the top fourth of the
soil only and some boxes had no
fertilizer added at all. All of
them we're planted in oats of the
same kind at one time and all were
treated just alike. The unfertil-
lied box produced 10 ounces of
oats; the box in which the fertil-
izer was mixed with all the soil
produced Az ounces; the one
mixed to half its depth, 81 ounces;
and the one mixed to one-fourth
its depth produced 60 ounces.
The conclusions drawn are that
the productiveness of soil de-
ponds quite rs much on the con-
centration of the plant food as
upon the quantity present and
that where only a small quantity
of manure is available it is best to
concentrate it near the surface in
the drill or hill, and that deep
cultu e, without increased manur-
ing, will reduce the yield. OF
course, deep tilling is best, Il the
soil is rich throughout it's depth.

Hopefulness in wool contin ues
the dominant feature of the trade.
Recently quoted prices are fully
maintained, and the business in
the aggregate is liberal, although
the market is without excitement.
Prices have been pushed up even
higher in the west than in the
east, and a good many dealers are
holding for further advances.
While in numerous directions
activity among manufacturers is
pronounced, there is still room for
improvement in the goods trade,
and this ought to come with the
general resumption OF business
prosperity. - American Agricul-

The best general system'Df farm
ing, says the Tesns Form and

the products of the soil on the

means stock farming. No other
system has ever been found per-
manently profitable, and no other
system ever enriched a nation.
