HELPFUL FARM NOTES.

Do not keep too many hens in flock.
Always use a good thermometer
when churning.
One advantage in the creamery is
that the farmers wife gets rid of the
drudgery of making butter.
One serious objection to selling hay
from the farm is that it carries away
too much of the fertility of the farm.
To make the most out of it, plan to
save all of the liquid manure as well
as the solid by using plenty of bed
ding.
Agricultural papers help to build the
farmer up by being alive to his inter-
ests, and every farmer can find profit in
reading them.
While theoretically budded trees are
the best, yet, practically, there are
just as good trees growing by root
grating as by budding.
1t is only when good care has been
taken to maintain the fertility of the
farm that it can in any way be con-
sidered advisable to plant young trees
where a very old one has died.
The soil for the orchard should be
dry, firm, mellow and fertile. Gener-
ally a soil that will produce good
crop of corn or wheat will grow good
trees and fruit. 1t should be worked
into good condition before planting

VALUE OF ARTICHOKES.
This Writer Considers One Acre Of
Them to BE Equal in Value
to Six of Corn.

Artichokes are not given the atten-
ton they deserve; there is no crop on
the farm that will give as great returns.
They are drought proof and certain
preventive of hog cholera. One acre
will feed 80 shoats five or six months,
as 500 to 500 bushels per acre is a
common yield, while on rich soil 1000
bushels is frequently produced. AS
milk producers, fed to cows, the arti-
choke stands without peer, and the
They also make excellent pickles and
salad when properly prepared, and
withal are excellent fertilizers and east
ly grown.
Prepare the ground by blowing deep
and pulverizing the Jumps; mark the
rows as for potatoes, four feet wide;
cut to one eye and drop IA inches apart
in row; cover about three to four
inches; cultivate same as corn or po-
tatoes. Plant from list to 18th of May.
1t is not necessary to dig them for hogs,
as they will do their own harvesting,
and freezing does not hurt them. Do
not store in the cellar, but put in pits
and cover with layer of straw and
four or five inches of earth.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.
"New Blood" for Next Spring
and Summer.

While it is proper to keep the breeds
separate during those periods of the
year when the eggs are to be used for
Matching, it is a saving of time, labor
and fencing to let them cut On the
fields together until spring comes. 1t
is the impression on the part of some
that when birds of different breeds are
allowed together the purity of the
flock will be impaired; but if the breeds
are separated a month before the eggs
are used there will be no evidence of
impurity in the chicks patched. Where
enc has two or three breeds it is some
what difficult to keep them separate
without combining them in yards, and
as by so doing more work becomes nee
essary, it is not advisable to separate
them day longer than the last egg
for Matching is taken. There is a safe
guard, however, should doubt be en-
tertained in regard to retaining the
purity of the breeds, and that is to get
rid of all males now and procure new
blood" next spring. 1t is not necessary
TO have the males with the hens, as they
will lay as many eggs without the males
as when they are present with the
fock.-Farm and F'ireside.

Suddenly the sweet voice of child

A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Casnn Won Praise and Honor from
the Great GenRhis Khan.

Casnn Won Praise and Honor from
the Great Genghis Khan.
Now it so happened that Genghis, in
order to subdue the deserters from his
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or khans. These petty chiefs
had been in the habit of paying tribute
to the great sovereign of the Kin EN-
pire in North China. This high and
mighty potentate now demanded money
from Genghis Khan, thereby rousing
the ire of our Monaghan warrior, who
announced that rather than pay one
cent for tribute he would fight the
whole Chinese kingdom. Preparations
for war were at once begun, and Casan
was delighted when he received orders
to join the army. At last his dream
was realized. He was going to fight real
battles, and he was in command of
body of troops. He bade adieu to his
family, and with a proud heart set out
to meet his sovereign.
AS a first step Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea, captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer to a
place called Lung Ting, in order to es-
cape the great heat of the plains or
steppes. While there news reached
him that several other khans were pre-
pairing for war. He thereupon descend
ed from the heights, marched against
his foes and in pitched battle on the
River Irish he overthrow them COM
pletely. Casan attracted a great deal of
notice on this occasion. He was here,
there and everywhere. On his mettle-
some charger he bounded into the
fight, hurting his lance with unerring
aim and displaying great courage.
After the fray he was summoned to
appear before the conqueror, who COM
plimented the dwarf, saying: THY
valor and thy courage have completely
justified thy promises. From this day
forth thou shalt be khan; thou shalt
have command of large body of troops
and shalt hereafter be my companion in
arms. MARY Shearz Roberts, in st

TREATMENT OF PIGS.
should be In Good shape
for the Market.

All the pigs may be treated alike un-
ill they are five or six months old, be-
cause no matter for what purpose they
are intended, the first work in the prep
aration for that purpose is to build up
the frame, to develop the bone and
muscle, says Texas Stock and Farm
Journal. Whenever tine weather per-
mits the Sows and pigs should have free
and wide range over all the farm not
devoted to cultivation, and pasturage
should be looked upon as essential to
their development. If the pasturage is
good the amount of roofing they will
do will not be damage to the range
or the farm, for they will destroy many
insect pests and the exercise will be
benefit to, the animals. A patch OF
peas should be grown on every farm for
the young pigs as well as for other
purposes, and the pigs should run in
them an hour or so every day. The peas
have much the same nutritive qualities
os milk and are cheaper. When the
pigs have them in sufficient quantity
their frames have rapid development
and they can be brought on to the corn
feeding later with less risk of injury
than if they had passed through the
summer on grass or alfalfa alone. But
wherever in Texas the alfalfa can be
grown, and in many portions of the
state it will thrive well, it ought TO form
a most important part in building up
the frames of the young animals. After
they have become five or six months old
those that are to be kept as breeders
should be separated from the animals
that are to be fed for market. The
methods of handling the former should
not be materially changed, and such
changes as are made in feeding the fat;
tening animals should be made gradu-
ally and cautiously, watching them un-
til they have been brought to full feed.
| At no time is it well to confine them
solely to corn. Some green stuff
should be given them, and some va
riety of food, with plenty of charcoal
and salt, abundance of pure water, and
they should have clean, well-sheltered
quarters. Corn. of course, will be the
principal food in finishing, but it
should never be given so freely and
exclusively as to cause the hogs to be-
come in the least tired of it. And at
eight or nine months of age they should
be ready for the market.

The amount that flock of hens will eat

the boxes are never empty. A dull,

lay. Scratching pens are desirable, but
everybody cannot afford them. An ex-
cellent substitute is made by throwing
down bushel of hayseed every few
days on the floor of the common pen.
The hens go for it at once and with a
vim. 1t absorbs moisture, gives exer-
