HERE AND THERE.

Sheep should be dipped as soon
as sheared, for it sllses less of the
material and it has more perfect ac-
cess to the skin.
This is the time of the year when
the farmer should carefully think over
his sources of income, and study how
to reduce expenses, increase product
and add TO income.
There are many people engaged in
farming all over this country who can
only make scant living 1t is also
true that there are many persons en-
gagged in other branches of business
who can't make even that much.
Willingness TO work is not the on
ly qualification of good farmland.
The man who Is to become member
of the family, and a companion for the
boys, should be required first Of all to
be a manly man clean in speech, and
| upright in conduct.
There are many kinds of weeds
that would get a good start on the
farm if it were not for the sheep. In
| fact, nine cases out OF ten, where you
lind farm that is dirty and overrun
with weeds, you will find that the
owner does not keep sheep.
The farmer who has not mares
suitable to breed to heavy draft stall
lions, had better breed to some good
jack and raise mules. The demand for
good mules is increasing. Not al
mares will raise good draft colts, oui
sthc majority will raise good mules.

Sweet potoes,

Sweet potato slips may now be safely
Set ont for an early crop-and all are
urged to plant largely of this valuable
crop for hogs-when a market is not
available. Those who have access to
large cities will find them valuable
crop for hogs-when market is not
available. Those who have access to
large cities will find them a valuable
market crop-those first brought in
selling readily at fancy prices, 1t is
well to start Il part of the crop early,
SO they may be fed TO stock from Au-
gust to MISUNDERSTANDING the risk
of winter keeping on later started
and smaller portion of the crop.
Late-planted potatoes keep through
the winter better than those started
early-espccially is this true of the St.
Domingo and kindred varieties Early
matured potatoes of these are almost
sure to rot or become pithy and worth
less. These varieties abound in starch
and might be utiliztd in the production
OF that article, Large tubars that rot
and are thrown out on the surface of
the ground sometimes have all their
other constituents washed away by rain
and finally present white mass OF
quite pure starch. Farmer.

About the first of May early
varieties of cow-peas may be planted
for hogs and other stock purposes.
Peas may be alvlntaycously added to
almost any other food given to hogs, in
Guiding even corn. The hog has a
rather small stomach, which calls for
rather concentrated fool, or, in
modern terms, one which has narrow
ratio-say one to hvc-whereas much
of the food hogs eat ordinarily has a
ratio of one TO eight or ten. 1t is too
early yet to plant the late-maturing va
ricties-when planted early these in
cline to make more vine than fruit.
Except on very rich soils it is better to
drill peas and work t.icm. The cost of
working is Offset by the smaller guam
tity of seed require! for drill culture.
On ordinary land it pays to apply mod
crate quantities of phosphate and pot
ash and peas-it increases their growth
and does away with the necessity of
applying these fertilizers to the crop
which is to follow the peas. Southern

PRACTICAL HOG EXPERIENCE.

have been breeding Birlshircs for
30 years, and during that time have
tried several other breeds in compare
tive tests. The wide-awakc farmer en-
deavors TO send as little of the fertility
of his soil as possible to market. The
crops of his farm are disposed of as 4
finished product OF the highest possible
type, so as to command the best mar
lset price. For this purpose found
that the Berkshire excels all other
breeds. These hogs have been i'm
proved for a century along the line OF
converting mixed dict of slops, grass
and coarse vegetables into the very
finest quality of pork.
They are admirably ADAPTED to fol-
lowing cattle, and gather up the scat

First Working of Corn.

AS soon as cotton-planting is over,
corn should be given its first working.
If the soil has been compacted by ram,
this working should be deep and thor
ough. The old-fashioned coulter
something like II soubsoil plow-is a
very good implement for running
round, as it throws little dirt and yet
may be run quite deep, After the first
furrow is run, broad scooters or long,
narrow shovels may be used to com.
plete the work. On light soils, or those
not compacted by rain, the first work ing
may be given with hcel-scrapes or cul-
tivators, and much labor saved. But
it will not pay to leave the land in
poor condition at this first working
Put in good condition now, all subse-
quent workings will be easy. One
should study, however, to get good
work done with the smallest number
of furrows. Save work, save time at
every point, should be the motto of
every farmer. When land is in good
condition and the plowing properly
done, no hoe work should be needed
by corn crop. The only hard work
called for would be the thinning of the
corn, which should be done immediate.

Everybody Has a Guess as to w. H.

The appointment of w. H. Newman, sec

railway, to the position of president Of the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern road, Is
the one topic of conversation among the
railroad men.
Who will succeed Mr. Newman is a ques-

B. Clarke, the present general traffic man
ager, Is prominently spoken of as the next
second vice president of the Great Northern.
Mr.. Clarke is next in line of promotion, but,
as President Hill has never made appoint
ments upon the civil service basis, this will
not affect Mr.. Clarke's chances one way or the
other
L. F. Day, general manager of the Min

thought by many to be the choice of Mr..

chairman of the Southwestern Traffic as
ISOLATION and is a traffic man of wide ex-
perience.
A prominent local traffic official is Of the
opinion that the office Of second vice presi-
dent will be abolished on the Great North
ern, and that the duties attending that posi-
tion will be distributed among other traffic
officiax.
It is also rumored that. with the abolition
general manager will be again adopted. and
an official selected for that place, probably
Mr.. Clarke.
Mr.. Newman was in Chicago yesterday,
and will probably return to St. Paul within
a day or two. 1t is thought by many that
he will suggest the name Of his successor
to Mr.. Hill, and the latter will appoint the
man selected by Mr.. Newman.
