Diseases Of the sheep are betterun-
derstood and far moro amenable to
treatment than diseases Of the hog, and
with proper care the sheep are far less
liable to disease. The only advantage
the hog has over the sheep is that he is
a scavenger and that he may be, if he
lives, converted into money in four or
five months less time than the sheep.

If the British can't lick the Beers
with American canned beef for ration
for their troops, American cartridges for
their guns American mules to haul their
artillery and American oats and hay for
the mules to eat, the British might as
we'll give up.

A committee of five Hamilton county
Ua.) farmers went to Nebraska lately to
interview farmers there engaged in
raising and selling sugar beets. These
Nebraska farmers had been in the bust
ness for five years and were competent
to give reliable information as to the
profits of beet growing. The report
brought back by the visitors is to the
effect that bee.s are very profitable
crop to raise and that soil and climatic
conditions in Iowa are in every way
more favorable for the business than in
Nebraska.

Church privileges affect the value of
farm land in the northwest in a very
marked manner. A Catholic or Luth-
eran, particularly, will pay from So to $40
more per acre for farm located in a
community of farmers of his denomin-
alton than he would for the same farm
located in Methodist neighborhood
And this is all right, for it strengthens
the church of that community and Sc
cures degree of unity and harmony
there almost impossible where the re-
ligious tastes of the people are all
divided.

Twenty eight years ago we had to
seed down a newly cleared up court
house yard, and in our ignorance as to
what grasses to use, we mixed in some
white clover with the blue grass and
clover used. That yard has never been
free from red clover since. A meaner
grass cannot be got into lawn.

The cows of some parts OF Norway are
trained to eat Goldfish, and all the cook
has to do is to heat the milk and thicken
it, and they have Goldfish gravy.
New Zealand has a system OF compul-
sorry arbitration to settle all difficulties
growing out of the employment of labor.
AS consequence strikes are unknown
in that country.

A mustang pony is very useful ami
NAL on farm. Every farm should have
one The pony is just what is wanted
for the boy to go after the cows, or run to
town Oh an errand and can readily be
used to run light tread power. It
costs but little and very little to keep.

If you have notion Of investing any
money in any of the so-called hog chol-
era cures, take the money, fold it care
fully in an envelope, seal it up and drop
it down the well. You will at least be
ahead the time required to go to town
after the stuff and that spent in doping
the hogs. IL

Sometimes trade can be made where
both parties are benefited; more Otter
one party to the trade gets the worst of
it. With too many men the pleasure OF
this sort of business is gagged by the
amount which they can beat the other
fellow out of.

Running water, or water under pres
ure on the farm, conveniently adapted
for use at the house and barn, is of al
most inestimable value. Hundreds of
farms might be supplied with it that
now do not have it, and that, too, at a
small expense.

The difference between the manner
in which boy will spend dollar if he
has earned it by hard work and the way
in which he will spend it if his dad gives
it to him is very marked indeed. In the
one case he knows the value of the dol
ar, and in the other h does not.

Feeding a dead cholera hog to one
that is sick is too much like the work of
the Juju medicine man Of the wild
heather of Africa, or the toad and snake
powder remedies of the Chinese.
With corn at the price it is and meats
of all kinds at present and prospective
figures, there is good margin of profit
in feeding all the animals, at least, which
you have raised Some way should be
found to feed the corn crop and not sell

We came across an old fashioned

The sugar in the beet is the product
OF the sunshine, and were it not for the
potash taken up from the soil by the
leaves of the plant it would be one OF
the least exhaus i've crops grown.

The best things raised upon the
American farm are used by the farmer
who produces them-the best milk, the
richest cream, the incest pig, the choic-
est fruit and freshest eggs. In Europe
the best things have to be sold to pay
rent and taxes, and the farmer lives on
what is left. 1t will be particularly
noted that the American farmer never
under any circumstances uses stale
eggs, he always seeing to it that his
town cousins wrestle with this problem.
A Lew type of alfalfa brought from
Siberia is being introduced into the
northwest. Its home is in a region Of
extremes of temperature and periodical
drought, and it is thought that it may
prove to be an exceedingly valuable
legume for all the northwest country.
Specimens OF the plant growing at the
North Dakota experiment station went
through last winter in perfect condition,
while the common alfalfa and red clover
were in the same field entirely destroyed.
