Hogs Getting Einar.
horticultural Observation

An observant farmer who had given
q good deal of time and study to swine
exhibits at the recent Iowa State Fair
called at the Office and made this rath-
ser significant remark: II believe hogs
are getting finer and smaller every
year." says Wallace's Farmer. We
have not had the opportunity of study
ing the hog exhibits carefully for a
good many years. and therefore can
not pass Judgment as to the accuracy
Of his observation. It is, however,
what would naturally be expected as
the result Of the score card. A good
many breeders have made the remark
to us privately that while they had a
good deal of admiration for the type of
hog developed by the score card, they
did not buy hogs by the score card
when selecting for pork production.
In other words, they did not buy for
practical purposes according to the
standard which the breeders have set.
We are very sure that they are right
IN this practice. The score card is val
liable In training mems judgment be-
cause 1t requires them to note carefully
each particular part Of the animal. In

minimize Cholera Losses.

Jas. Riley says: If the hog cholera
should break out on our own farm,
then all the pigs that have been ex-
posed to it should be confined in small
lots SO as not to spread the disease on
the farm. The pig that has the cholera
should be confined in a pen to itself,
and it should be sprayed three or four
times each day with chloro-naphtho-
leum twenty parts water to one of the
chloro, and the floor of the pen should
be kept white with slaked lime, and if
the pig died, If 1t can be done, haul
some logs and wood and burn 1t in the
the pen where it died, but If not, be
sure that every cholera germ is killed
on the way from the pen to the place
where the pig is burned. BY using such
vigorous measures we have succeeded
in stamping the cholera out several
times on our farm.-American Swine

Growing Crambcrries.

At a recent meeting of Canadian
fruit growers the question of growing
cranberries was discussed and one of
the leading growers offered some testi-
mony from which the following is di-
gested. The land for planting cram
berries should be worked up and sand
ed, the sand to be from three to six
inches deep. The irrigation is i'm
portant-in fact, is essential to cram
berry growing. The land should al
ways be kept damp Before the frost
comes, the patch should be flooded and
kept so until the LIST of May. The ber-
ries do not thrive we'll when exposed
to the winters frost. If long spell
of dry weather takes place in summer,
Irrigation should be repeated. One
speaker said:
Il grow the Cherry Bell variety and
1 realized $500 net for what grew on
one acre last year. would like to
know if there is anything else one
would put an acre to that would bring
the same returns. Sand will correct
all weeds. I have now fifteen acres
under cultivation, and all my neigh
bors have taken up the industry, al
though they laughed at me when
started mine. I can recommend the
cultivation of cranberries as a profit
able business, from the experience I
have had"

Alfalfa as Stock Feed.

The first crop of alfalfa is much the
best for horses, writes a contributor to
Nebraska Farmer. The stems are
more woody, but horses will eat them
up clean and, If overfed, will allow the
leaves to accumulate in the manger,
showing that they prefer the stems.
A COW, on the other hand, very much
prefers the leaves, so that common
custom in alfalfa growing districts is
to give the horses an ample allowance
and clean out the manger for the COWS.
The second crop is a little less woody
than the first and will be eaten up
clean by cows as we'll as horses. The
third crop is not so we'll relished by
horses, nor will they keep in so good
condition on it, as it affects the kidneys
too much. But cows do we'll on it. In
any alfalfa district the first crop will
sell best for horse feed, and is consid-
cred more& nutritious for any stock
But the later crops are considered
almost as good for young stock, and
will be eaten up clean by cows.

selecting hogs for show purposes, they
will keep in mind the requirements OF
the score card, because 1t is by that the
hogs are to be judged. When it comes,
however, to selecting hogs for the pur-
pose of producing pork for the barrel,
it is not safe guide, and in this the
breeder and practical farmers are and
must be at variance until a score card
is devised which provides different
standard. Betwixt the score card and
a diet very largely all corn, farmers
are in danger of getting their hogs too
small and too fine in the bone for prac-
teal purposes.

The Soy Bean.

Glyc1ne hispida is the scientific
name. A government bulletin says of
it: This is one of the staple crops of
Japan, which attracted little attention
in this country till about ten years ago,
but it is now becoming quite common.
The crop is<cultivated like corn, the
seed being planted in drills at the rate
of half bushel per acre. The stems
alone are too coarse to make good hay,
but are covered with such a dense
growth of leaves and are so prolific
in fruit that the hay is priced high
ly, especially for mich COWS and for
fattening animals. The yield of green
forage is very heavy when grown on
good soil, and the yield of beans is
usually from twenty to thirty bushels
per acre. Those who have had most
experience with this crop find that the
best way to handle it is to cut or pun

The Coming Bug.

1 talked with man last week who
advanced the singular theory that we
are, year by year, breeding a race of
potato beetles that are, in one sense,
becoming immune to poisons, writes a
contributor to Rural New Yorker. He
thinks the failure to kill the beetle
may not be wholly due to adultera-
tons in Paris green. It actually takes
stronger doses to kill the insects. AS
we we'll know, there are arsenic eaters
who have taken the poison for years,
gradually increasing the dose until
they can safely eat quantity that
would kill an ordinary person. Noun
tain climbers or guides in billy coun-
tries have become so far immune to
the poison that they safely eat it, as it
helps their wind" The theory is
that, by means of natural selection"
the beetles best able to stand the poi
son are left each year for breeders.
This; kept on long enough, would re-
suit in breed of beetles that could eat
Paris green without a serious stom-
ach ache. Some light, indolent man,
who has been bred and fed for genera
tons as thigh liver" would be per-
fectly happy after eating quantity of
rich food that would destroy the happi-
ness of farmer. These feeding hab-
it's of living things means much to the
man on the farm.

the plants when the first pods begin
to open, and thrash as soon as dry
enough. In this way the coarse stalks
are so broken in pieces and mixed with
the leaves and immature fruit that
nearly all will be eaten. 1t is doubt
less the best of the legumes for the
silo, as it can be more easily handled
for the cutter than plants like clover
or cow peas. There are number of
varieties, differing mainly in the time
of ripening and the color of the seeds

TAYLOR AT TAUNTON.
The Major Has Not Finished Racing
For the Season.

Despite the reports to the contrary,
Major Taylor has not quit racing for
the season. He is to ride at Taunton
Wednesday in all the professional races
on the card. He says that the inter-
view which he was pErported to have
had with reporter of a morning pa
per originated in the vivid imagination
Of the reporter. He also says that
whatever trouble he had at the oval
will not have any effect on his move
ments in the future.
The major was in town yesterday and
said that he had not stopped training
but was still at it. He is making pre-
parations for the trials he is to make at
the worlds records this fall. The ma
jor is a late season rider and when he
made his best time it was when he had
to wear heavy sweaters to keep him
from being cold.
He is fit as a ficdle and is now NOV
ing along at a clip that BODIES anything
but good for the existing records.
Birdie" Munger his manager, has
not as yet selected the place where
Major Taylor is to go for the records,
but it can be depended upon that he
will have the best of facilities. 1t is
understood that Munger is looking for
a good straightaway course where the
major can follow motor pace. The adj
mirers of the Worcester flyer do not
hesitate to say that he will crack the
record made by Charlie Murphy when
the latter followed an engine Of the
Long Island railroad, and made the
fastest time ever ridden by a bicycle
rider, 81 3-5 seconds for a mile.
