FEED ALL FARM CROPS.
Where This Is Done There VIII He No
Just Cause for Complaining
of Hard Times.

1t is well conceded fact that the
consumer and save the middleman's
profit, the more he will realize out of
his products. Hence it is necessary, in
order to realize as much as possible out
of the corn crop, to convert it into beef,
pork or mutton, or, in other words, feed
it and drive it off on hoof. My observa-
ton and experience is, that when
farmer feeds economically and judi
ciously everything grown on the farm,
and the fertilizers resulting from the
same are returned to the land, he has
made good use of his crops and if he
understands well how to cultivate his
crops, and puts his knowledge into ac
tive practice, he will be considered
good, thrifty farmer and he will very
seldom have cause to complain of hard
times. The farmer who makes prac-
tice of selling his crop of corn from
year to year at from Is to 90 cents per
bnshel will generally find when he fig
ures up the expense of growing the
same that he will have very little if
anything left. For whoever buy his
produce expects to convert it into beef,
or pork, or something else which will
come near the consumer and derive all
the profit there is in it, leaving the pro-
ducer to come out even or little be-
hind. 1t sometimes happens that corn
is selling at good price, say 40 to so
cents a pushed, in such case the pro-
ducer will do well to sell his corn, but
as a general rule this does not often oc-
cur, and hence it is always wise to ar
range to feed everything grown on the

high as $40 per head has been paid.

ODD WEDDING RULES.
Characteristic Customs That Prevail
at Marriages in Norway, sweden
and Siberia.

Every country has its own particular
regulations and ceremonies regarding
matrimony. Wedding presents in Nor
way are not of the expensive but useless
kind that they are with us. They con-
sist of such things as pots and pans,
plates and dishes, a feather bed, half a
dozen sheep, a sack of potatoes, and so
forth. Sir G. w. Dasent says that the
Norwegians, in reference to marriage,
as to other matters, put their best foot
foremost and try to make the most of
things generally. A lad went out to
WOO a wife. Among other places he
came to farmhouse, where the peo-
pie were very poor, but they wanted
to make him think that they were we'll
TODD. Now, the father had got a new
arm to his coat. Pray, take seat,
he said to the wooer, but there's
shocking dust in the house." So he
went about wiping all the benches and
tables with his new coat sleeve, but
he kept the other behind his back. The
wife had one shoe much better than the
other and she went stamping and slid
ing with it up against the stools and
chairs, saying, How untidy it is here;
everything is out of its place!" Then
they called out their daughter to come
and put things to rights, but she had
got new cap, so she put her head
in at the door and kept nodding and
nodding, first to this side and then to
that. "Well, for my part" she said, Il
can't be everywhere at once" In this
way the wooer was led to believe that
he had come to a well-to-do household.
Many superstitions prevail in Sweden
with regard to marriage. 1t is said that
if girl be fond of cats she will not
be an old maid, as we should say, but
have a bright day for her wedding. The
Swedish bride sometimes wears coro-
net of myrtle, or, when that is not
procurable, of colored paper Here, as
in Norway and other countries of north
ern Europe, there is too much eating
and far too much drinking at weddings.
In Sweden the repasts on these occa-
sions continue for hours. When asked
10 take your place at the table it is
considered polite to make as stout
resistance as possible. During the re-
past collection is made for the bride
and sometimes also for the poor of che
parish. In Siberia there is a good Gus
tom that bride on coming to her hus-
bands house has 10 give dinner pre-
pared with her own hands as a test Of
the education she has received. If she
succeeds in gratifying her guests it is
taken as a proof, not only of the young
womans own excellence, but also as a
recommendation of her whole family,
by whom she was instructed so use
fully.

FLAVOR REGULATED.
Up-to-Date Beckeepers Have Learned
TO Restrict the Wanderings
] of Their Bees.

Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men OF wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with the different
kinds of honey, and wrinkling their
brows over the problem of producing
what seems to them the most desirable
flavor during the coming summer says
tie 0tsego Farmer. For the bee is no
longer allowed to pursue his own sweet
peregrinations and sip of the nectar OF
flowers wherever he chooses. Honey
made in this promiscuous way is much
too ordinary. His actions are restrict
ed and guided. AS a result, such honey
as never was tasted before is tickling
the palates of many. If it is the white
sweet clover flavor that has gained
favor with the epicure, he goes system
atically TO work to produce it, and
plants a large plot of ground, perhaps
half an acre with this particular kind
of clover. lie has it carefully kept from
weeds or any other variety of clover
that might endeavor to find footing
there. The whole bed is inclosed and
rooted with a fine wire netting, and the
beehives are then placed within the in
closure. From the bees life, therefore,
the spice of variety is plucked, and try
as he will he can produce none other
than white sweet clover honey. In
flavor it is very delicate and almost
white in color. yellow sweet clover
honey is preferred by others. The
flavor is slightly stronger than that
made from the white variety, and its
coloris deep yellow. Then there is the
honey that is made from thistles and
milkweeds; it is amusing to hear the
producers of such fiavors tell of their
tribulations in making these hayward
plants grow within their restrictions.
Some of the wild flower honey is al
most black in color. and the flavor is
certainly very different from what it
was in the days when honey was hon
ely and that fact settled the question.
1t is almost verging on the indiscreet
to mention buckwheat honey nova
days, although it is still acknowledged
to have wonderful staying properties"

varying from Is to 30 grammes, arnica

Chinese cinnamon, mace, coriander,
aloes, cardamoms, etc. Moreover, each

boards 21a inches from floor to let feed
through: b, bottom-boards ~ or Is
inches wide, and so placed as to let feed
slide down into trough. One end is re-
moved to show interior. Ties to keep
from spreading can be placed any
where, as indicated by dotted lines.
Stalls should reach down to floor and
be nailed thereto and also nailed to

This box is my own invention, having
never seen one before. l think this
win be plain and will need no further
explanation.
l find this box sufficient to feed 30
pigs, with no trouble. OF course only
26 can eat at n time, but they soon fall
back and others take their places l
find this very good where pigs of differ
ent sizes run together. They all have
all the chance they want to eat, and the
food is never mussed over, but always
fresh, for it feeds down only as fast as
it is eaten away.
We do not fill the box full and then
go off on a vacation, but are with the
pigs StNGIdl lllleS Il udN. we also nave
a self-feeder made out of a salt barrel,
with a hole cut near the bottom. This
is to feed salt and ashes mixed, one of
salt to two of ashes. We have not a self
drinker yet, but would like to have one.
We have to carry water and let them
drink from n trough. This is the only
reason we cannot go on vacation trip.
Now | would not advise feeding clear
corn from the feeder, for one would
certainly overdo the thing and bad re-
suits would follow. But / have seen
only good results from middlings and
bran, and see no reason yet for abandon
