HERE AND THERE.

There are two elements of success
in farming: First, feeding the'crops to
good stock, and marketing food prod
ucts; and second, marketing better
products in better condition.

Starting nm Orchard.

The ground for an orchard should be
well and deeply cultivated, and free
from weeds, well drained, if the soil
requires it, and moist soils are better
for draining except sandy or light
gravelly soils with a light subsoil.
Such land may not require draining,
but in every case it should be well
worked and puIvcrized and enriched.
The work of preparation must be done
during the summer SO as to be ready
for fall or spring planting. Planting
in the spring is preferred, which will
enable the trees to take firm hold Of
earth and to resist the frost of next
winter; but planting may be done sue.
cessfully in the autumn by protecting
the trees SO as to prevent the frost from
heaving or misplacing them.
Select young. healthy and vigorous
trees, and from . reliable nurseryman,
and if possible from soil similar ts
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard. The different kinds of apple.
will depend upon your own choice and
the suitability of soil and climate. ]
advise that the selection be made from
the old, tried and reliable kinds
The distance apart should not be less
than 50 feet, so as to allow the trees
room to spread their branches and to
foEma low md Spreading head Closc
planting has tendency to force trees
to run.up, and prevent the fruit from
obtaining its proper color from the sun.
and making it more difficult to gather
the fruit At the distance Of SO feet
apart it will require 90 trees to the
acre. Before planting the tree remove
all bruised and broken roots by cutting
clean with . sharp knife. Lay out
your ground in . straight line. SO that
your trees will be in line each way
and It equal distances, 80 feet apart

Is 1t sound Policy?

A prominent Georgia farmer, and he
il known to be one, for he is credited
with having grown on his own farm,
in middle Georgia, the largest yield OF
corn per acre, Mt a cost OF 35 cents per
bushel, recently advanced the idea
that with corn at 60 cents per bushel
and cotton ut ten cents per pound, he
would raise cotton and purchase his
corn. He went farther and said the
time was coming when Georgia would
raise cotton altogether and purchase
the cereals required from the west. Il
such policy orthodox and sound?
The ground assumed for this policy
is that the fertility of the soil could be
better maintained by cultivating cot
ton than with corn. With a proper
system Of crop rotation this objection
will mot obtain to corn culture. Tho
very line Of policy proposed by the
Georgian will have . tendency to cause
corn to 60 up above so cents per bushel,
and cotton to rule 1T prices below ten
cents per pound.
Independent Of this last consider.
alton, and more important in its bear.
ings, is the logical result of such line
of policy to deprive the farm Of the
characteristics of . home and reliance
upon its resources. Left to the single
resource of cotton to supply all the re-
quirements of the farm, the farmer is
1t the mercy of not only the cotton
buyers. but of the grain and provision
men, and will be IS it were between
the upper and neither milestone.
The policy to be pursued is one that
will build up the farm upon substan-
tial basis, and make the farmer, in a
great measure, independent The
farmer can not live at home in its
greatest and grandest interpretion ii
his granary and smokehouse are in the
west. Should . cyclone come and de-
stroy the granary and smokehouse. the
farmer would have a commodity that
would not furnish sustenancc. Magni-
fy, enlarge, beautify, improve the farm
home by living at it in the fullest sense.

THE HO,0,

IHE ktO6s
We can certainly reduce the cost Of
pork BY reducing the time In which we
grow it A 900 pound pig. well marked
with lean, is demanded. This can be
got ready in SIX months, often. and
where = butter dairy is run on the farm
: considerably greater weight can be
produced.
The owner is often to blame for sows
eating their pigs. He pens the sow up
in close pen or bare lot; throws in .
small bunch Of straw; gives sow some
corn, and perhaps water, morning and
evening, and that is AL the care she
gets the whole winter through. In
the spring she farrows six,or eight
little scrawny pigs that are not strong
enough to stand. She is uneasy,
gets up, surveys the struggling mass
for moment then begins her feast,
and swallows every last pig. Why does
she do this? Because corn is lower in
price and less trouble to feed than mill
iced. Or. IN other words. she has had
no other feed but corn for four months.
Her digestion IS poor. She is feverish
and irritable and Graves something be-
sides corn Her pigs gi@e her the first
change Of diet. She eats them to APP
pease that terrible craving appetite.
It is not al sows that eat their young
from improper feeding. but with nine
tenths Of them it i the cause. The
0ows should have plenty Of exer-
else. Let them have the run OF
m old clover sod or woods pas
ture,ss IS this all goes toward keep
ing the system in healthy con-
dition. Feed plenty Of laxative food,
such rs oats. either ground or whole,

pigs would be strong and healthy 1t
birth. Your sows would BE ready to

good dow of milk of bone and muscle
forming qualities, which is the most cs-
sential part Of pig growing. Keep salt,

MARION, Ind, April 10-Word comes to
Charles E. Forgy. of this city, of the arrest
OF George III. Howard at jamestown, n. Y,
while attempting to negotiate a number
or forged drafts. This man. who is also
known II. j. Sanford and J. II. Han
ford. came to Marion in September, 1895,
wrote draft drawn by the Greensburg
National Bank on the Third National Bank
Of New York city. On the face ii called
for $500. Forgy bought it, giving his note
for $50 and check for the remainder. At
Howard's instance Forgy procured draft
for 81 on Winslow, Lanier & Co., of New
York. This draft afterward turned up in
the hands of Terre Haute building and
loan association and called for $3.50 A
short time after Forgy bought the Green's
burg draft he was informed by the bank
at that place that it had been raised from
s. 10 $500. If the man arrested in New
York is the one he is supposed to be, he is
ILL.,, Lima, o., and Shelbyville for similar
transactions. All the drafts SO far discov-
cred having been tempered with by
Howard are specimens of very skillful work,
except the one purchased by Forgy for 81
and afterwards raised by Howard to $3.50,
and that is a wretched specimen of bun
CLING. Howard was arrested by the Pin
kertonS. and IL is supposed that he will be
brought here for trial.
