HOGS ON THE FARM.
They Are the Most Reliable and Prof.
liable Stock the Average Man
Can Raise.

When partial failure in the corn
crop occurs and the price runs up tc
from 30 to 40 cents on the farm. the i'm
mediate effect is to crowd the hog
stock of the country on the market and
depress the price. When large por-
ton of the hog stock is wiped off by
cholera the Immediate effect at the be-
ginning of the disease is to crowd hogs
on the market and depress the price,
the after-effect of which is to enhance
the price by creating a scarcity in the
supply. Under these conditions farm.
ers will go on growing hogs until they
fall little below three cents pound
when they will conclude there is no
money in it and lean over to some other
department of the farm. When hogs
go to about five cents on the farm every
brood sow that is at all fit will be put
to use, and in a year the number is SC
generally increased that fall in price
is inevitable. 1t is not safe, therefore
to figure on high-priced hogs for any
considerable length of time, nor is il
wise to go out Of business when hogs
are low, for the reason that it may be
safely estimated that enough will go
out of the business to increase the price
in reasonably short space of time
The man who uses only well-bred hogs
keeps right along raising 100 hogs a
year on the farm, and takes good care
of them, is not likely to have the sher.

NEED WHOLESOME FOOD.
Those Who Cannot Afford to Take
Good Care of Mares aud Colts
Should Sell Out.

Brood mares should have all the
well-cured hay that they will eat when
fed regularly three times day, says
the Horse Breeder. If, in addition to
this, they are fed not less than six
quarts of the best oats, there will be but
little danger of getting them too fat.
Where there is one brood mare in the
country injured by overlooking, there
are many that are actually suffering
from lack of nourishment. Those who
cannot afford to feed literally had bet
ter reduce their stock or go out of bust
ness altogether. What has been said of
brood mares is equally true of foals of
all ages, from weanlings to maturity.
Most farmers who raise only few foals
feed too sparingly. There is little dan
ger of colts eating too much, either of
hay or oats, provided they have plenty
of pure air and chance to exercise in
the lot every day. The feet of the
youngsters need particular attention
during the winter months. If not
looked after carefully and often they
are likely to suffer from thrush, which.
if not cured, will result in contracted
feet. The practice of allowing colts to
stand in filth to keep their feet soft has
ruined the feet of many a promising
foal. The feet should be leveled and
dressed with rasp at least every
month to keep them in proper shape.
A sharp lookout should be kept during
winter for lice and worms. either of
which will cause a promising colt to
become unthrifty in very short time.
The former can generally be easily de-
tected by examining the skin on the
neck and around the fore shoulders.
There are several varieties, some of
which are so small that they may at
first be mistaken for small specks of
dandruff. Colts suffering from worms
are often pot-bellied, the coat looks
dead and rough and the hair points
towards the ears. When such a con-
dition exists some good worm remedy
should be tried without delay.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Mule breeding has been profita BILE
and will be again.
Wheat is good for hogs. 1t should be
soaked or coarsely ground.
The horse has the same diseases and
symptoms that human being has.
If the head is immersed it turns the
color of the comb and gives the eyes
a shrunken appearance.
This is good time to clear the farm
of rubbish. Clean out the fence cor
ners and burn all the trash.
According to an experience in the
Russian cavalry, aluminium horseshoes
last longer than steel. Certainly they
are lighter.
Teach the colt to eat grain before
taking it from the dam. 1t will then
be ready to go right along in growing
when it is weaned.
1t is best to train colt to go without
binders. 1t is not best to take off the
binders from horse that has always
been used to them.
The dry climate of Minnesota and
Montana, which is so beneficial to peo-
pie of weak lungs, produces a horse
of capital lung power.
AS between the two, you had better
have plenty of good water for your
stock than plenty Of feed and linn
tied quantity of water and that bad

Selling the Poultry Food.

Many in building make shed be-
tween their houses, in which they put
leaves to the depth of a foot or so. and
when grain is scattered in this the hens
will work nearly all day. In time. how
ever, the leaves get soiled and broken
up, and if not removed and renewed
will soil the plmage of the hens, and
not serve the purpose as well as the
whole ones. In houses where the
grain is scratched for the water-dishes
must be placed in a small box or plat
form, and the dough put in boxes on
the sides Of the coop, high enough to
escape the sand, for when the hens are
hungry and in earnest they make the
sand and dust fly in all directions

A SENSIBLE LETTER.
A Western Canadian Settler Writes
to an Illinois Friend.

In writing to Mr.. T. Hawkyard, of
Rockford, ILL.,, Mr.. G. Simpkins, of Lee
due, Alberta, Western Canada, (and to
which points especially low rates are be-
ing quoted over all lines of railway,
says:
Dear Sir-Rec'd your letter the 14th
inst. We have had no snow till after
Christmas, and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good con-
dition. 1t is showing now. That is
what we want-have about inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means a good crop
the coming season. 1t never drifts here.
The weather is calm and bright. We
do not have to dress any heavier than in
Illinois, and the horses never SILVER
with the cold when we take them from
the warm stable, as they do in Illinois.
It has not frozen in the stable this
winter. u---.. .....
The most of the stock runs out, but
there is no need of it, for timber is plen-
tiful and there is no expense to build
good stables and houses. We have good
log houses and they are very warm.
Two men can put up house 16x24 in
two days. There are good rails for
fences. We live ten miles from the coal
district, the price being so cents up to
$500. The land is very rich, loamy soil,
from inches to several feet in depth;
the hills have the deepest. 1t is a roll

are plenty of small lakes where the
cattle can get good water. The cattle
got out of grass last year, about the
middle of April, and run at large; un-
less in charge of herdsman, we have
to fence against them. Wheat goes
from 35 to 60 bushels per acre, oats so
and 80, very often hundred. AS to pota-
toes, neighbor planted 7 bushels and
dug 226 bushels, and no bugs. Roots of
all kinds do we'll. There are lots of
strawberries and lots of red raspberries,
black and red currants, and gooseber-
ries, where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. I have been trying
to buy some for months and have got
only three two-year-old, and paid $50
each.
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for 6 cents dressed. and cost more
for stockers. Wheat, 50 cents per bushel;
oats, 25 cents; eggs, 80 cents dozen;
butter, Is and 20 cents; poultry was 10
and II cents dressed. Sheep are scarce.
If you come, bring your farm tools,
but bring no seeders; we use drills.
Bring cows, but do not bring horses
unless you are an experienced hand
in shipping them, for so many of
them are hurt in shipping. There
will be plenty of work for a binder.
Two good horses will break, but three
lighter are better. The horses you
get here can work without grain, but
are better with it. 1t will be hard to
tell what prices horses will be, for the
immigration will be very large the
coming spring. They could not be
had last spring at one time. They claim
the best time to break is June, but my
experience is to break in the spring
and work it. You can break till the
middle of July.

Milk Curds for Hens.

Milk contains most of the elements
that go to make the egg. Its caseine is
chemically the same as the albumen of
which the white of egg is entirely COM
posed, and which constitutes large
part also of the egg yolk. But it is not
best for fowls to take their caseine with
so large a proportion of water as is
found in milk Heat the milk until it
is curdled, and perhaps adding little
rennet to separate the curd from the
whey more fully. Then to further dry
it mix it with corn and oatmeal ground
and it will be a winter ration
that will not only be greedily eaten,
but will make the hens lay in winter
better than almost any other that can
be given to them.

An Evidence Of pro.perity.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation OF the
country, that the great arteries Of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella.
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con.
diton of affairs means business trips and an
Increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

POTATO STALK WEEVIL.
A New Insect Which IL Said to BE
More Destructive Than Any of
Its Predecexsors,

A new insect that has been numerous
the past year in Kansas, and is at pres
ent the most common, is the potato
stalk weevil, and is said to be the most
destructive that the grower has to con-
tend with. Little is known of this new
pest, as few understand the insect or
its work. The potato-stalk weevil does
plant, but is to be found in weeds of
different denominations. AS many as
eight adults have been taken from the
stalk of the ground cherry. The horse
nettle, cookie bur, stick weed and bull
nettle are other weeds which are af-
fected by the insects. Wherever these
plants are permitted to grow wild they
are constant menace to potato grow
ing, in that they support in large num-
bers the insect to infect potato fields
in the spring. The effect of the pest
upon these weeds is not so noticeable
as upon the potato, as their vitality is
so slightly affected. 1t is shown clear
ly in the potato by the willing and
dying of the plant, especially in dry
seasons. The adult is small snout
beetle, and belongs to the same family
of insects as the plum curculio, and
has the peculiar beak that characterizes
this family of insects. 1t is of an ashy
gray color, about one-fifth of an inch
long, and marked by three black spots
at the base of it's wing covers. Spray
ing has been successfully tried upon
this pest by the Kansas state agricul-
tural college, and we advise spraying
the vines either with London purple
or Paris green, taking care that the
stocks and branches are reached by
the poison AS a precautionary meas
ure, rid the place Of weeds.-Western
