disposing of them; II means ample en-
perience, even when money is a scarce
article; IL is handy TO have both; but
we must have the experience at any
rate.
Intensive farming is intensively in
teresiing TO the one who takes deep
interest in it, and when he is so ia.
clined success is sure to crown his
efforts
Intense farming is farming for profit,
and requires good stock OF experience
and sound judgment; it means more
money and fun ON the farm, and less
encouragement.
Intensive farming might properly be
termed new industry, from the fact
that there are so few engaged in it, or
take any interest in 1t at all. 1t is an
industry which commends itself to
every practical farmer, and there is
more real cash in this new industry
than in any system of the old styles OF
farming.
For proof of this, one has only to
consult farmer who is engaged in the
new system, and will readily see the
point and the idea which promises the
largest returns for the money invested
in or on the farm.
Economy on the farm is branch Of
intensive farming, but economy is not
practiced by good many who claim
to be carrying on intensive farming,
and this is why they sometimes say
that the farm does not pay.-Cor.

INTENSIVE FARMING.
What 1t Is and What 1t Means to tho
Farmer.

What is intensive farming? What is
the idea? 1t is keeping COW to every
acre of land; it is getting from 35 to SO
cents per pound for all your butter; it
is getting two lambs for every eve in
the flock; it is fitting the soil for next
seasons crop, and saving all the fine
fodder without any waste;it is keeping
all the barnyard manure under shelter
and where 1t can not leach away; it is
in the proper feeding of the stock with
the best rations; it is making more
money from one acre of land than was
done last season, or more money than
formerly was made on four or five
acres; it Is obtaining two and three
crops from the same land each year; it
is sowing peas in the corn and other
suitable places, then turning the hogs
in 10 harvest the crop, and then har-
vesting the hogs,and selling them on a
good market; it is keeping good
breed Of dairy cows, and feeding them
well; it is keeping a few hundred head
of good chickens; it is obtaining sew
eral tons of good hay from the same
meadow the same season; it is raising
several money crops from the same
field in one season, and selling them
for more than some farmers obtain
from the one-crop principle; it is keep
ing profitable horses; it is using good
Judgment on the farm and ranch; it is
making three spears of grass grow
where only one grew formerly; it is
watching the various markets SO as to
take advantage Of good prices; it is

HERE AND THERE.

There is no gainsaying The fact
that IL farmers would farm for a liv-
ing and not simply to make money,
they would live better and make moro
money too.
Each farm is problem by itself,
the problem changing with crop. 1t
is problem that has to be solved ia
practice, yet out OF thought constant
ly exercised. So that from mistakes
well considered oftdn come the most
marked successes.
On the farm during the longer
nights and shorter days of the winter
there is great opportunity for thought
and cultivation of the mind--opportu-
nifty for revision, for adding to the
fund of information, Tor planning for
the future in the light Of all past ex.
perienee.
There is no better feed for hogs
than peanuts and sweet potatoes. and
then the harvesting can be done by
the hogs themselves, and this gives
them salntary exercise and growth

How to Save Pork.

For the benefit of those farmers who
say meat can not be SUCCESSFULLY cured
in Mississippi, and adjacent states, the
writer gives his method. We have lost
one joint in five years. Preparation is
always made to kill the first real cold
spell. Our hogs have been butchered
on the lath, l4th and 18th of each No.
vember of the last three years. After
killing hang over night, the next day
cut up ready for sailing; salt heads,
jowls, bones and ribs and fe, sepa.
rately from other meat. Trim hams and
shoulders very close, leave them free
from rough places which may harbor
insects. Cut out all blood shot parts
After meat is cut up and thoroughly
cooled salt well and place in u box
with skin side down, allowing the box
to incline at one end, having holes in
the lower end that all bloody cxuda.
tions may drain off If the weather
turns warm after two or three DAYS.
take up the meat, free it from all salt
by striking each piece on the box; rid
the box of oil damp and bloody salt.
Resalt the meat with dry salt and put
in the box again This is considered
very important. After being in salt
for two weeks, hang up and smoke
for part Of each day tor two or three
weeks. until it has dark mahogany
color. The hams and shoulders are
then well rubbed with small tea.

tablespoonful of brown sugar may DO

be treated in the same manner or
not, according to fancy. If the
weather should be warm each piece
may be dipped quickly in boiling
water before using the saltpeter
After using the saltpetcr and sugar
the hams and shoulders are neatly en-
cased with some cheap domestic after
the manner of canvassed hams. Clean
oat or bran sacks will answer very
well for this purpose. After this oper-
alton the meat is hung up in a cool,
dry place, where it remains until used.
We have never been troubled by the
meat bug or any other insect. During
the past winter the weather became
very warm the second day after kill.

During that time the meat was re.

salt three times. Not a piece sourcd,

Sheep on tho Farm.

III does not require large farm to
keep a small flock o. sheep, which,
everything considered, is the best. 1t
should be well fenced, so that they can
be kept where wanted Many rough,
worn-out farm might be brought up
and made valuable by raising sheep.
There is no stock SO well adapted to
rugged hillsides or rough pastures, or
to prevent the growth of weeds and
bushes. Where sheep have the range
OF n field very few weeds will 20 to
seed. and bushes will be SO thoroughly
cropped that they will either die or be
kept back. When a farmer can thus
easily turn the weeds and bushes of a
farm into excellent manure, and at the
same time have them converted into
mutton and wool, 1t is certainly good
thing.
Sheep will thrive in pasture and
get fat where cattle would almost
starve. They also scatter their drop
pings over the field, and never fail to
enrich lands, where kept Feed them
extra, for this additional food works
| to the profit of the raiser in two ways
it not only insures good growth of
flesh and wool, but it makes the ma
nure richer and more valuable.
To make the most profit out Of sheep
they should be well fed and cared for.
A sheep must be fed to make the best
mutton, but few conceive that n we'll
fed sheep produces more wool than
one poorly cared for. Wool is u prod
uct from feeding, the same as fat, and
many farmers loose half the profit
from neglect to feed properly. Sheep
should have, besides good feed, dry,
clean quarters, sheltered from rain and
storms. Missouri Farmer.

CHICAGO AS A WATER PEDDLEh.

Thousands of Homes, Manufactures and
Business Houses who Pay for the Supply.
For so much as il owns of Lake Michi-
gan, brought in through spacious tunnels
and distributed by countless pipes, the
city of Chicago itself is the biggest ped
dler in the vicinity. On an ordinary
household basis 1t sells water by the
year to about 100000 customers. In
addition to these it has 5,120 special
customers who purchase water by
actual measure. These are manu-
facturers who use water abundant
ly and persons who own or con-
duct very large buildings, private or
public. Their classes are defined by or
dinance, and the great municipal water
peddler requires them to buy the meas
rres that keep tally against themselves.
The minimum standard of water meter
las three-quarter-inch discharge,
which gives 1900 gallons of water an
hour, the price paid for this to the city
being ten cents for 1000 gallons. The
meters range in capacity from the one

registers 5000 gallons a minute. A me
ter Of the latter capacity costs over
81 900; the ordinary three-quarter-inch
meter flow costs $40. The city named
after Pullman is Chicago's largest GUS
toner for water. 1t is supplied through
two ten-inch water meters to the
tune of millions of gallons daily. Such
large downtown buildings as the Man.
haitian have to use, perhaps, four-inch
meters. There are several patentees
and manufacturers of water meters, all
of whom compete for city patronage

said that about 1000 more water meters

financially. There are people "out

HE KEPT THE LAND.
Hcxekiah Podgers Was n Very Mean spir-
tied Man.


1t was currently rumored in Hard
scrabble that when Hezekiah Podgers
got hold of silver dollar he squeezed
it so tight that the eagle on it had bard
work to get its breath, let alone scream
ing.
This may have been an exaggeration,
but there was no denying the fact that
Podgers was rather close in the most of
his dealings.
1t was said that he had occasionally
been known to give something away,
but in such cases it was something that
happened to be of no further use to him
or else there was wire cable attached to
the gift. And us an instance of the latter
people were fond of citing the time he
offered the hard-shell Baptists free
plot OF land for use as a cemetery.
The society in question had raised the
money and built church and com
mittee had been appointed to visit
Podgers, who owned several farms in
the neighborhoood, and ask him to deed
to the church the land needed for
cemetery. He had contributed nothing
for the building fund, and on the ground
that he was "land poor" and couldn't
afford it, so the committee argued that
it would be a benefit to him to give
away some of his land, and besides he
ought to do IL anyway for the sake Of
the church.
Podgers held out for awhile, but final
ly bright thought struck him and he
gave in and said he would willingly
contribute the land on one condition.
The committee thanked Podgers very
profusely and then, while one of their
number was drawing up the necessary
writings another (who happened to
think that perhaps it would be good
idea to find ouD spoke up and asked
Podgers what his one condition was.

Among the Latest,

The Trained Evening Gown Is Noted
Among tho Latest,
A word about skirts, which seem TO
be In more of transition state than
any other article of wearing apparel.
There is the close, habit-like skirt,
which is the extren.s mode of the hour.
II is close and fits so snugly over the
hips that It fastens by an invisible row
of buttons in The back seam. The az
GRACE fashionable skirt has the front
plain and close-ftting on the hips, with
the fullness thrown to the back, hut
with no stitfened outsprcading godets.
These skirts clear the ground and are
trim looking. Some of the newes,
tailor-madc skirts show lengthwise
trimmings. The side seams, for In
stance, are ornamented by two rows
of inch-wide braid uniting in clover
leaf border at the hem. One modiste
describes the new skirt by saying that
skirts standing out in points about
the feet are things of the past and that
the present shape Is gracefully eased
about the hips and full at the back.
Many women welcome the return OF
the trained evening skirt, which was
rendered impossible by the large cir
cular skirts that have been so long in
vogue. Trimmings, drapery and trains
are all new features for evening dress
skirts. The youthful dancing froclt

skirts of pale blue tulle falling over it.
Petticoats that come next the dress
can never be too elegant for the
dressy woman. AS much dis
tinction is made concerning diff
ferent petticoats MS concerning diff
ferent gowns. Those for morning
wear under wooden dress are of mo
hair or alpaca, embellished with sey-
eral small fiounces of the same, bound
with velvet. For afternoon wear pet
ticoats are OF taffeta or brochc satin
with founces of silk and lace, full and
sussy. For evening wear the height
of elegance is to have the outside pet
ticoat match the silk of dress This
is trimmed with deep flounces edged
with lace. For grand ball for bride
the correct pettcoat is of white silk
or satin profusely trimmed with lace
and bows of white ribbon. A novelty
was noted the other day in silk pet
ticoat, the wide bottom flounce being
trimmed with five or six tiny ruffles
