Losses in narrowing and the present
apparent supply of hogs on the market
as compared with former years at the
same time, suggests that it Will De well
to care for the pigs that did survive and
grow them into the best hogs possible,
for prices can hardly fail TO do bctterin
the fall than they have been for some
timepast. In fact, it nearly always hap
pens that reduced production follows
quickly upon a year OF low prices, as
the past one has been resulting in an
advance of price. If this happens upon
general principles it is much more like
Nv to where there has been as large a
loss in farming as there seems to have
been this spring. Take care of the

no question about farming can be in

farmers disagree-proba5ly in most
cases, both sides approximately right

Gen. Cassius Clay the other day. Now,
under these varying circumstances a
mastery of detail in any particular case
is necessary to secure a reasonable sue

of the future must be a man of observa-
ton and intelligence, and possessed
with Il proper zeal to keep up with the
best varieties of live stock, the best
kind OF grains, forage plants and
grasses, and also with the most i'm

THE LATE MATCHES.
Chicks That Come IN September Es-
cape Many OF the Perils of the
Early Summer.

AS q rule farmers do not pay much at
iention to the poultry and the farm
wives do not hatch chicks or other
poultry late in the season. We do not
think it n very good plan to have chicks
colae Of during the deg days" rs they
do not seem to do well. The other day
Mr.. Warner. of Sjblry. H.. was at our
house. and he drew a picture Of an old
hen busy scratching for ore lone
chicken during the hot weather that
~as true to life in every respect.
II hens are set the second week in
August and tie chicks cine off about
September l, they usually DO very well
and make Il remarkably quick growth.
These chicks will be well grown when
cold weather comes. and if kept in a
warm house during the winter they
viii be ready to begin laying in the
spring and will lay well into the sum
mer without getting brocdy.
Chicks that are late hatckeG escape
many of the periis o: early summer.
and it is not 4 rare thin" for every one
OF a brood to grow UP 10 iu!i Size. This
year there are many complaints about
poor hatchcs. and we have had some
of that kind, both in the i1cuL4tors and
under hens. and we shall keep right on
Matching chicks until October /. as we
have a poultry house that can he
warmed if necessary. although we shall
not use artificial heat except rs a last
resort In very severe weather.
II IS n fact that at Ike winter shows
a good many prizes are carried off by
late-Eatched chicks. and this should en-
courage those who have not got their
full supply to try and make up -
deficiency by preparing for some late
chicks this ycar.-Farmers Voice.

How TO Exterminnte scab.

Beware of introducing scab when you
get new sheep. 1t is very easy to intro
duce scab into your barns, and extreme
" difficult % eradicate it. Every animal
purchased should be isolated from your
permanentflockfor a few days-atl least
15-and closely watched for symptoms
of the disease, says the Country World.
In fact, it would be a much better plan
to dip the sheep yourself Immediately
upon their arrival, and then give them
a second dipping in ten days. They
MAY have been dipped at the stock yard
when you purchased them, but there
will have been abundant chance for
to again become contaminated on their
way to your farm, especially if they
were shipped in the cars.
