Hens seem more greedy for wheat
than any other grain, probably be-
cause taught by instinct that it con-
tains just what they need for every
purpose. 1t even furnishes fat
forming nutrition, and should be
given with chopped clover and
vegetables. This will give the giz-
Zard variety without furnishing
too much nutrition.
TIC, propagate from puny plants is
as fatal to success as to breed ami
mails from scrub stock. A plant
never refuses to bear fruit without a
cause, and that cause is often bar
renness that no system of cultiva-
ton will remove.

His "Iittle FelIer."

81 happened to be down in my cellar
the other morning when the ash man
came around to collect the ashes" said
gentleman who resides on Second ave-

red apples at the time, and when the
big, dust covered and necessarily untidy
man came back with the empty ash
barrel picked up an apple and held it
out toward him, saying as did so:
Won't you have an applet
He took it eagerly, saying as he did
so:
Thank ye, sir. I've a little Teller
at home who'll be tickled to death 10
git it. l most always find something or
other in the ash barrels to carry home
to i'm at night, but it amt often git
anything equal to this big apple. tell
ye the little feller's eyes will shine
when he sees it.
81 don't know how many times that
day my thoughts were of that hig, rough
handed fellow, with that apple put
away so carefully in his pocket for that
little Teller.
"When evening came, | thought of
the little Teller who was ON the look
out for the big, dust covered father with
the calloused and soiled hands, but with
the true heart and the kindly word that
made him king in the eyes of that
little Teller.

The first object in planting fruit
should be to supply the family with
everything in this line which can be
grown upon the farm. Those only
who grow their own fruit have these
supreme luXuries in their greatest
perfection. Growing for market
should be a later consideration.
We treat our trees much as we
treat ourselves; we either do not
know their needs or we neglect our
duty to them. We give them too
much or too little drink and food, or
give them such things as to come to
hand without thought of their hurt
fulness, and when nature protests
we resort to the first quack remedy
we run across.
Do not plant fruits of any kind
unless prepared to do battle for the
crop against insect pests and dis
eases. We must expect these for
the future, and while they make
success in the business more diff
ficult, our efforts will be the means
of bringing still greater profit to
those who energetically use every
proper facility for protection.
The less orchards have to do with
wandering primers the better. The
true principle of pruning, except
when it is done for the purpose of
improving the shade of the tree or
to renew the vigor of an enfeebled
one, is to limit it to the removal of
all weak and crowded branches.
If there is any work which re-
quires the doing of it in the best way
possible it is the setting out of fruit
trees. 1t is work which is eX-
pected to endure and bring profit
for 10 or 20 years, and should not be
done hastily. Every precaution it
is possible to take should be taken.
The truck patch, like the garden,
should be too rich and valuable to
allow it to remain idle for even a
part of the growing season. Where
have grown the early potatoes, late
cucumbers, squashes or pumpkins
can be planted; with the early
sweet corn tomatoes may be grow n,
to ripen after the corn is gone.
As fast as potatoes are dug from
the home lot for table use hills of
cucumbers can be planted for win
ter pickles. Even when the last
cultivation is given to the late pOta-
toes good variety of sweet corn
can be planted between the rows,
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-03-26

have had one litter of pigs. This
will generally give better results
than to have both animals young
and which are used for breeding
the first time.
March or April pigs should be
ready for the butcher in November
or December, or even earlier. Give
them plenty of red clover for the
first five or six months and then
fatten them with Indian corn along
with the clover. AS a result they
should weigh $50 or 300 pounds by
late fall-a good growth prOtitably
made.
The hog is but machine to con-
vert corn and other food into pork,
and pork brings what we are most
in need of-money. If the hog is a
machine, and we are going to keep
some of these machines for use, we
surely want the very best attainable.
A pig should make a pound a day
for every day of it's life. If it does
this it will be ready for market at
any time after it is six months old
If we desire lean pork we must
begin to cultivate the grazing hog,
and none are better than the Berk-
shires; and the disposition to eX-
ercise must be encouraged.
With right management sow
should produce two filters of pigs
each year, and two or three sows
will usually supply all that the
average farmer will care to feed and
fatten. With care in breeding and
in fostering these can be so dis
tributed that some will be prepar-
ing for the market at all seasons.
Have you rats in your granary? II
so set trap for them. Rough on
rats" is all right, provided it isn't
rough on something else. An old
SOW might, for a change, enjoy a
dose of it. If you use it, be careful
and know what you are about.

An Animal That HES,

With the single exception Of his dog,
the sportman is probably the only ami
NAL now living ON the earth that HES.
All others are extinct.
Even the sportsman never HES except
in print or in manuscript intended for
print, and even then, our observation
would appear to indicate, he HES more
frequently in the manuscript than in
the actual print.
Other creatures, quadruped or biped,
simply go-walk, run, travel, make q
break, skip, scoot, slope, set ont, light
out, peg out, mosey, as the New York
police say, get move on themselves,
or, in the classic speech of the Bowery
chase derselfs. But the shooter HES him
on the field, and the angler HES himself
to the stream There the one sees his
dog freeze into a statue, the othel
catches speckled beauties, and neither
ever eats his dinner or supper, but in.
variably does full justice to it-Fores
and Stream.

seed than he can get of reputable
seed dealers, he would better buy all
the seed for his garden. The few
he will require will not cost much,
and if he can know they have been
grown apart from other closely re-
lated varieties, they will be more
than enough better to offset the
extra outlay of money.
We hardly realize how few far
mers excel in their methods. When
the average products of our farms
approach the best records of the
best farmers we shall be able to feed
at least four times as many people
as we now feed.
The farmers aim should always
be to produce something better than
has been produced. This must be
done either through thorough cult
walton of the varieties he has or in
the introduction of that which is
new and superior.

and a profitable late crop procured
with little trouble.
1t is hard for beginner to under
stand the value of frequent cultiva-
ton in the garden. 1t is evil
enough that "A crop of weeds and a
crop of vegetables should be grow
ing at the same time, but a growth
of weeds implies that there has
been no stirring of the soil, and this
sin of omission is fatal.
AS soon as garden crops are large
enough cultivation should begin,
and end only when the vegetables
begin to ripen. 1t is a maxim that
"A field made familiar with the hoe
from early spring to late fall never
suffers from the summer heat.
Carrot, potatoes ana similar crops
will yield more than double when
persiStently cultivated. This is
especially true in dry seasons. In
dry soils, which soon lose their
moisture, the only hope of saving
the crop the farmer has lies in con-
slant cultivation.
In setting out trees, trim the roots
when struggling. Select time
when the ground is just moist; not
wet. Press dirt firmly about the
roots, and set about two inches deep
er than they were in nursery.
