We are never too old to learn, and
last Monday . farmer who had sold =
load OF hogs to Sullivan Il Mcknight,
learned by expierance that it don't
pay TO bestow too much kindness on a
hog. He had kept his porkers In =
nice dry pen with plank floor, and
never allowed them to run out in the
mud like common hogs, and they we're
fne, fat, healthy, clean looking AMI
mails, indeed, but when they were un~
loaded, and compelled to travel on
ground, their feet aud legs seemed 10
become paralyzed aod they were I'm.
able t. walk. Tho farmer WA obliged
to haul one or two OF them back home,
as they would be CONDEMNED by the
meat inspector unless able to walk on
to the scales. Mr.. Mcknight said
many farmers, particularly Germans,
make this same mistake. "Hogs
raised and fattened on plank floor, "
he says, "are all right, il dressed on
the farm, but just Is soon ~ they try
to travel on the ground, they lose the
use 81 their legs and cannot be &C.
oepted at the stock yards" He will
not contract for live hogs 30 raised il
he knows OF it.-Maple Lake Messon.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Flax is very exhaustive to the soil.
Insure your buildings against cy-
clones.
Shallow cultivation of corn should be
the rule.
Drainage will greatly increase the
value of wet ground.
Roots cannot penetrate a subscil that
is as hard as stone.
The silo will enable the farmer to
keep more cows profitably.
In sections where cyclones are likely,
a storm cave shows wisdom.
Spare the harrow in the early stages
Of corn growth and spoil the crop.
The hired man should be a gentle
man among the children in the home.
In sections outside the corn belt corn
can often be profitably grown for the
silo.
Hay caps are a good investment.
They will in wet season pay for them
selves very quickly.
We do not like the barbed wire fence
and would not have one, while other
fencing can be had.
When the surface bakes after a rain, a
light harrow should be used, whether
the crop is up or not.
Hailstorms are likely anywhere. and
insurance against them is as necessary
as insurance against fire.
Eighty acres. intensively cultivated
are better than loo acres under the too
often loose system Of farming-West.

'Along indurin of the spring one Of
Tom Dicks little boys had long sick
spell. They fed the little thing on sui
phur and molasses, aAd snake-root tea,
and wormy fuge and the like till they
saw that wouldn't fetch him through.
Then they sent for old DR.. Csowder.
For about three weeks the dostor was
there at least oncst . day and some
times every night tendin on the child.
Finally at last the little boy took 4 turn
and got better. When the doctor quit
the case be made out his bin and handed
it to Tom Dick. He charged 50 much
for the medicines and SO much for the
visits he had made. The medicines
didn't run up only three dollars. but the
sundry and numerous visits stacked up
scmethin over $50. Tom Dick looked
at the paper and handed the doctor
three dollars.
That's all right. DOCTOR says he.

Cyclone.
Several men gathered about horse near
the western market the other morning,
commenting upon the prominence Of the
beasts ribs and general lean and lanklness.
The animal belonged to a farmer living near
\ psilantl, and, it was said, never permitted
grass to grow under its feet on the road.
The farmer was not pleased with the re.
marks and the strong differences that the
poor thing had never realized the sensation
of corn and oats.
what do you call your horse?" was
asked.
Cyclone, and don't he look it," replied
the man from the rural districts.
Cyclone! What name. He certainly
looks as if one had struck him."
That's what happened to him, my
friend. 1t was just like this. You remem-
Der the awful breeze we had out to Ypsi-
lanti about three years ago. This teller was
a sucking colt at the time and was in the
barn with two horses. The cyclone, regular
old hummer, came along and thrashed the
barn off its legs and dropped it nigh on to
100 yards away. After the twister had raised
all the hob, fences and sheds it could we
went out to look things up. The two horses
were stone dead, and the colt, would you
believe it, was nowhere to be found.
Next day / turned over the hen coop,
which lay in the field half mile away.
Right IN the coop and laying on the door
which faced down was the colt. He COM
menced kicking when he heard us and we
took him out in hurry. He wasn't scared a
bit, l tell you, and was cool as cucumber
The neighbors say they saw the coop goin'
through the air and the colt after it. The
little Teller caught the coop and got inside of
it to save himself, that's what he did That's
the plain truth, and if you don't believe it
ask the colt. Good day, strangers. DE

The sheep is unlike the hog in its
choice of food. It will not take UP feed
out of filth or live on animal flesh. 1t
will eat weeds of almost any kind, and
will peel an apple tree if given an OPP
portuntity. The excuse for not keep
ing few sheep that it costs so much for
fencing. is. to say the least, flimsy
one. Barb wire or woven fence can be
had for a very reasonable amount. Four
wires will restrain sheep if the fence
be put up in the proper manner, al
though five wires are better, and this
number is all that is required to make
a good fence. Sheep bite somewhat
closer than cattle, but they improve the
land.-Western Plowman.

The following engraving represents one
which. If properly constructed, comes
very near perfection. A common far
ing trough is made, the end of which
has been removed. as shown in the en-
craving. The width of bottom Mt A b,
Fig. 1, is IL inches, with sides six inches
wide, which makes the trough nearly
four inches deep. A strip five inches
wide, c, is set up lengthwise centrally
and toe-nailed 10 the bottom. A hop
per is constructed with a four-inch
opening at E, faring to ten inches at
F. To hold all The parts securely in
place, boards are cut to fit between the
sides of the hopper. and with suitable
slot to embrace tn, dividing board c.
