OUR FARMERS.
TURNING UNDER VEGETABLE
NATTER.

All good farmers turn under veg
table matter every opportunity they
have as means of keeping the sol
loose as we'll as adding to it's store oil
plant food. Quite frequently green
crop is grown for the express pur-
pose of having it to turn under, and
in many instances, says Farmers
| Guide, it is the cheapest manure we
can obtain. But in a maj GRITTY of cases
crops are worth more for feed than
they are for turning under. 1t may
be used as food either by pasturing
it or cutting and feeding in the barn.
1t is estimated that where manure is
properly saved and cared for that it is
worth about three fourths as much
as the entire crop would be if incor-
porated in the soil. We do not be-
lieve that one half the m anurial value
of farm crops fed to stock gets back
to the land, for the reason that there
is SO much carelessness and reckless
ness in the manner of making, saving
and applying manures. If We turn
the crop nnder we are very sure to
get most of it's manurial value. Even
in pasturing stock there is great waste
of manure. Some farmers don't thin K
they get scarcely any good effect
from the droppings of stock on past
ure. Too much of it dries up and is
carried away by surface washings.
But when the farmer can put his grass
and grain into stock and realizes a
profit on same, the manure comes in
to greatly increase the profit. There
are conditions under which the crop
cannot be profitably fed, either be-
cause of the absence of stock necces
sary to consume it or the matter may
be such that it cannot be saved in good
condition. Wehave often seen clover
cut and put into barns that wasn't
worth the hauling, in fact, was hardly
fit for bedding. In such cases, the
turning under of the eutire crop may
be the wise thing to dos

tempt to shape it to some particular
model.
Many growers suppose that prun-
ing weakens the tree and shortens its
life. There is, however, no reason
for this belief other than the general
statement that pruning is unnatural.
Man seldom prunes so heavily as does
nature in removing superfious limbs
in the growth of young saplings in the
forest. Furthermore, nature prunes
at all seasons and in the rudest ways
BY this it should not be understood,
however, that care is not nece ssary
in the mechanical operation of prun-
ing. On the other hand, it is of the
greatest Importance that large limbs
be removed with care and the wounds
painted to prevent the entrance of
fungi, which will induce decay. In
training young trees, all crotches
should be avoided. If bad crotches
should be found to exist in trees ten
or more years old, they should be
braced by means of an iron bolt.
Much damage may be avoided if bolts
are used in season.

GOOD BREEDING.

There is no pleasure or profit
in ill-bred swine, and unless there
is a profit in raising hogs the farm
would be better without them.
We have hogs with large, deep hams,
| straight backs, deep sides, nice
shapely heads, short necks, short
strong legs with tough feet-in fact,
animals that are able to carry all the
| meat that can be put on them in few
short months and yield a handsome
profit to the feeder. And yet many
farmers continue to raise poor hogs.
The very best animals Of some pure
breed should be selected for the
foundationIstock OF herd. Pedigrees
should be studied so that iu breedi ng
may be avoided. More attention
must be given TO proper mating so
the offspring may be as good or bet
ter than the parents both as to their
feeding qualities and constitutions.
Breeding qualities should also be look
ed after SO that 1t will not be neces
sary to keep twenty sows to raise the
same number of pigs that ten sows
should raise. 1t requires much thought
and careful study to successfully raise
hogs. A great many hog raisers are
not careful enough about keeping
their hogs in clean, healthful and dry
quarters, but confine them in small,
muddy pens and feed them nothing
but corn. If the hogs get all the
alfalfa clover Or some other good
grass they want, together with corn,
they will have a balanced ration.
Brood sows will need Stops made of
shorts or other good stuff in order to
get them to do their best. Natures
laws must be provided for in order to
get good results. To sum it up: Get
good stock, study it's nature, supply
it and success will be the reward.

RENOTAT1NG an ORCHARD.

Repair is not necessarily associated
with old age and decay. Apple trees
ten or fifteen years old sometimes
need repairing quite as much as do
old and neglected ones. When the
orchard to be treated has been neg
lected for many years the first oper-
alton if the land does not need drain
ing is to prune thoroughly. In this
operation, which may be performed
at any time from late fall until the
middle of May, care should be used
that the trees are given an open head.
This does not imply that all small
limbs should be removed, leaving a
lot of whipstocks, but that such of the
larger limbs as are parallel and close
together, or those which cross, should
be cut out, says w. M. Munson in
Bulletin 40, Maine experiment station.
Half of the difficulty of pruning is done
away with if one decided to allow the
tree it's natural form, rather than at

| Just watch your women friends close
| ly for few days and make note of
several facial movements or contor-
lions which are constant adjnncts of
their talk, their smiles and their
frowns.
I believe that you will not have
hard work in noting that not few
of your friends strive desperately to
destroy the face; and, at the same
time, 1t you asked them, you would
find all desiring to avoid wrinkles and
a dozen other vexations of kindred
nature. Take glance at a few
middle aged faces and note the lines
just above the eyebrows. These may
be the only marring lines on the face,
and why they exist is easily explained.
Many women will persist in continu-
ally elevating the eyebrows, and
whether this is done to denote sur
prise, annoyance or pleasure, the
habit is equally harmful. Germans
have habit OF struggling their shout
ders, and the story is told of the
German who shrugged only one shout
der. Of course, in a short time his
shoulders 'ran down hill.''
Don't become a facial contortionist.

Lord Chesterfield was never at a
loss for polite retort. Once he pro-
posed a person as proper to fill a great
trust, but which the king himself was
determined should be filled by another.
The Council, however, resolved not
to indulge the king, for fear of dan
gerous precedent, and it was Lord
Chesterfield's business to present the
grant of office for the kings signature.
Not to incense his majesty by asking
him abruptly, with accents of great
humility begged to know with whose
name his majesty would be pleased to
have the the blanks filled up.
"With the devils!' replied the king,
in a paroxysm of rage.
"And shall the instrument" said the
earl, cody, "run as usual, Our trusty
and we'll beloved cousin and counsel
er?' "a repartee at which the king
laughed, and with great good humor
