THOROUGHBRED HOGS.
Why They should he Given IL Place On
Every Farm.

bNtFy Hurm.
At an Iowa farmers institute in re-
ply to the question:: Would you have
thoroughbred herd of hogs on every
farm? a prominent hog-raiser said:
If my plan could prevail / would
have nothing but pure bred hogs IN
this country. l do not mean by that
that every herd should be registered.
That would be an expensive useless
ness, but L do mean that all stock
should be tracealDle to recorded ances-
try. Then let the registered herds be
kept up to the highest standard of ex-
cellence to supply male head for each
of these pork herds. The professional
breeder would then do flourishing
business and the farmer would not be
Christendom for ten dollars. He would
demand something better than that
and would be reaping the profit which
he justly deserves from feeding his
farm produce to class of hogs that
would net snug profit and command
a premium on any market, whether
high or low, and at the same time have
puiNi u AoSo thut hS ScuiN 'e'NS
Infinite satisfaction in changing on
the fence" to look at and to show his
neighbor because they always call
forth favorable comment and admira-
ton, which would be an incentive for
something little better if possible for
the next crop. say that until the thor
oughbred hog shall be given place on
every farm his true mission is not full
filed, and further that the mission of
the professional breeder if he be honest
and unselfish and sees the whole thor
oughbred scheme in its proper light is
not fulfilled until such is the case. If
every farmer could see this plan from
the proper standpoint and could COM
prehend the advantages accruing from
its consummation. three years at most
would accomplish the work. But
though firm in the faith as l am have
grave doubts if it is ever accomplished.
There is too great a diversity in human
nature, too wide range of disposition,
too many scrub men, too much differ
ence, to ever expect to see all the farm
ers stand on level in any branch of
industry. However, the cause is adj
vancing, and one fact is well estab-
lished, that when a man once gets a
taste of thoroughbred blood, like the
bulldog. he never let's loose except to
get better hold.

door, with hogs inside, with one man
or boy to chase one at time into it
and as the hog runs his head into the
open trap catch him just behind the
ears by moving lever No. 2 to an upright
position quickly. When you have your
hog in the trap you can ring him at
your leisure. We have used this kind
of device for ten years. There is no
patent on it.-E. ID. Hale, in National

CuItivating After Rains.

Much the best time to cultivate is aft
er rainfall which has packed the
surface soil, provided time enough has
elapsed for the surface to dry. Heavy
soils are rich in mineral plant food, and
this as the water evaporates is left on
the surface as crust which etfectually
excludes light and mir. When this crust
is turned under it is dissolved by the
moisture and makes a rich food for
plants. Besides, the cultivation opens
the soil to receive air, thus drying the
soil and turning the air itself into
moisture. This enormously increases
available plant food in the soil. Be
sides, the loose soil on the surface which
the cultivator leaves prevents too rapid
evaporation, and thus makes the soil
both warmer and moister than II would
be If uncultivated.

THE HUNTING NUISANCE.
Farmers Should Make n United Effort
to Stop 1t.

10 StOp
AS soon as harvest is over the farms of
the state, especially those near towns,
will be overrun by hunters and their
dogs, says Wallace's Farmer. These fell
lows are out for sport and have no hest
tation in leaving gates open and shoot
ing wherever the bird flies without ref
erence to the farmers cattle, horses or
sheep, and If prairie chicken and quail
are not plenty, have no hesitation in
practicing on the birds that are the
farmers friends. They have no business
on the farm, no right to set foot on it
without the farmers permission, and
may be prosecuted for trespass or dam
age to stock if the farmer so elects.
His election, however, does him no
good. Many of them are judgment
proof, and the expenses of lawsuit
would be more than any damage that
could be secured. The right thing to
do is to post notices: Hunting not
permitted on this farm" and then if
they insisted on doing it, order them
off ard enforce the order if necessary at
the point of n gun. One of the most
provoking things on the farm is to have
an invasion of hunters, involving as it
does loss or damage to the live stock.
The game they shoot are the friends Of
the farmer anyhow, and they are his by
right if he wishes to do little shooting
himself.
When the country was a great grain
field with little or no stock and game
abundant. no damage was done by the
hunters. 1t is different now. In other
countries the farmer sells the right to
shoot on his place. Real sportsmen in
the eastern cities are already buying
this right from farmers, or n neighbour
hood of farmers, going to the expense
Of importing game birds and stocking
the farm for the benefit of enjoying the
sport of shooting them in the fall. This
is the honorable way of sport, and
farmers should insist that it be followed
In the west as well us in the east.

The children with their songs and
dances made her glow and grow radiant,
so that her dim eyes began to sparkle,

Folks listened and commented In

wholesome love of the beautiful. Maids

Linda's coming had done it all. The

the doctors shortened their faces by the

,.exe, Culture Of Potatoes.

Almost all practical growers now
agree that the level culture of potatoes
brings the largest crop. This is espe-
cially true IL the season be dry, as OF
late years 1t almost always is. II the
ground is cultivated often enough no
weeds can appear above the surface.
That will make it easy to keep the crop
free of weeds without ever needing to
cultivate more than an inch below the
surface. This is the best way to sub

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Buckwheat is a first-class egg pro-
Queer.
Geese and ducks should be full-feath-
cred before killing.
Late Matched turkeys can be given a
free range earlier than the early

When the hens stop laying change
of food will often start them to laying
again.
Dampness and lice are the great
demoralizers among all kinds of young
poultry.
When there is no check in growth the
chickens will get over their feathering
easily.
The laying of unusually large eggs is
pretty good indication that the hens
are too fat.
The best plan is to train the young
poultry to roost in the poultry-house
from the start.
If there are any hens to be sold this
fall good time to sell them is when
they quit laying.
A little fiaxseed meal in their food
will help the old fowls to pass through

If young ducks are allowed access to
a pond too early they are apt to have
