HINTS FOR STOCkMEN.

Steady, judicious feeding is what
pays.
Keep the best stock and use il to raise
better.
Feed bran in connection with ground
grain or'cut feed.
Excessive growth or fattening is at
u great expense of food.
The quality of the meat is improved
by the feeding of sound, wholesome,
nutritious food in clearly manner.
While there is not large per cent. OF
in corn-cob meal, yet when
mixed with the corn meal it lessons
the liability to pack in the stomach.
From now on the bedding in the
hogs sleeping quarters should be
changed regularly every ten days or
two weeks, in order to secure proper
cleanliness Union.

The lady-guest graciously undertook the

butter-of which she knew very little-when
his face indicated a mind given to much pro-
found thinking '.
However, with butter in view, she began

and at last to butter. The man looked more
bored than ever, the magic word butter
producing not the slightest effect, and he

ROTATION OF CROPS.
without 1t the Fertility of Soil Is
Exhausted Very Soon.

What is often spoken of as WORKOUT
land is land that has been run n long
time 10 one crop so that its capacity for
producing that particular crop is seri-
ously impaired, says Kansas Farmer.
In broader sense the land is not worn
out, for if turned over to the produc-
ton of crops OF different character it
readily manifests its old-time product
iveness. This creates the demand for
crop rotation, and the man who fails
to recognize this demand fails at the
most vital point in crop culture. There
can be no doubt that every farmer in
the country is continually suffering
loss of production by reason of its own
er's falling short in coming up TO this
most rigid of natures requirements.
This law is absolute in its operation,
and the farmer is necessarily loser to
the extent TO which he goes in in
fringing upon it. But III order the more
effectually to enforce her dictum in
such matters nature has placed other
obstacles in the way of those who ig-
norantly or wiifully ignore her laws.
Thus, for instance, the farmer who runs
his fields long TO corn invites serious
trouble with the corn, root louise; the
chinch bug suggests" thatlsthe farmer
had better put corn whege' the small
grain was before. TbeTeut worm is
an evil of the same sort, and so we
might mention a score of such warn
ings to the farmer which say, you can

same list. If the farmer will keep
them in a state of subjugation so that
crop raising is profitable he must con-
tinually change his crops from enc
field to another. 1t would seem a sim
pie lesson to learn, but host of farm
ers fail to act upon 1t.

n. q O. improvements Completed.

The improvements on the Main Line OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and be-
tween Martinsburg, w. Va, and North
Mountain, have been completed Novem-
Der LIST. They cover distance of nearly
four miles, starting three miles west OF Mar
tinsburg, and extending some distance
west of Myers Hole, which is near the North
Mountain station. At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ
jectionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet eliminating two
grades of AZ feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
for an almost level track. This point on the
road has always been dangerous one, and
many freight wrecks have occurred there
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature of two sharp down grades coming
together, as was the case in this instance,
the saving in operation of the road 10y the
change will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability of accident TO the min
imum. At Tabers the road-bed has been
lowered about IL feet, and the same at
Tabs, besides taking out Objectionable curv-
AZURE and reducing the rate of grades at
these points from ~ feet per mile to 10 feet
per mile, thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite sum of money, the
expenditure is fully justified by the great
saving in operation.

and feed it in such troughs. These
facts, and experience, have led me TO
the following plan:
"A a, pens for feeding in; ear corn
on the floor and ground feed and swill
in troughs. Il, place for well and swill
carts and miXing-room. C, store for
feed. ID, corn crib. Double lines at
F, troughs of different sizes. G, NOV
able trough. IL, doors for pigs to enter
pens.
This building is large enough for
co or 10 hogs, but may be made smaller
or larger as desired. a building one
third as large is sufficient for 25 or 80,
and will cost about one-third as much.
One can add to the length of this house
us needed, indefinitely, and hold to
the plan. The troughs are made so
that you can put the feed in all along
the length and have all one side to your
self, and not be pouring swill on the
pigs necks and heads. A full apprecia-
ton of the merits of this trough only
comes with using. it. You see. the
pigs can't get their feet in the feed
and can't crowd each other or stand
with side to the trough to keep others
out. but must stand up and eat as so
many COWS in stanchions, and can't
waste the feed. The cost, of course,
varies with price of lumber in different
sections, but need not be very expen-
sive. Following is. bill of material
