day asking that the court release him

pay so per month for the support OF
his wife and was compelled to give
a bond that he would faithfully obey
the mandate of the court
The petition led yesterday by Her.
bert says he is 70 years Of age, has not
worked for years and is entirely de-
pendent upon his son, George Herbert
for support. AS he has no means OF

Summering Pigs.

Let pigs run with the dam until
twelve weeks old, provided she is
fed literally with a warm well-bal-
anced ration of shorts, oats, corn
meal and screenings. This last
mentioned food for hogs, of which
the Northwest has an immense bulk,
is lost to the farmers and is being
utilized by sheep feeders at the
Twin Cities and other central points.
To the above list of foods add ra-
ton of oilmeal, bran and even corn
on the cob. Let the little pigs also
have access to whole oats. Care
should be used so as not to overfeed
the sow. Once off her feed she will
fail to produce milk and it is diff
cult to restore good digestion and
milk production. The clover field
must go hand in hand with this good
feeding, but on stormy days they are
much better cared for in their pens
with an abundance of freshly cut
clover.
By July there should be a field of
peas where the pigs will grow and
do we'll. The field of peas is next in
value TO the clover field. III not con-
venIent to pasture the peas, then cut
and feed to the young pigs. To this
method of feeding upon clover and
peas add regular feeding hours for
concentrated feed. This Is of vast
importance. Pigs should not be al

At farmers institute in Michi-
gan last winter, the speaker sent by
the State, Mr.. 9. g. Libbie, stated
that a good cow was one which
would give her owner an income of
800 year, with butter not more
than % cents pound and not less
than 20 cents. In response to an
offer of 500 each for such cows he
said he had 10 such cows aud he paid
more than 500 each for some of
them, and he would not sell them
for 5000 each.
He estimated the cost of food for
such a COW would be about $35 a
year. He doubted if it would be
profitable for man to build a silo
unless he had at least 10 COWS,
as it must be fed from the silo
at the rate OF about eight inches a
day to keep that on the top in good
condition, and he thought those who
did not make dairy farming a spe-
cialty should go out of the business,
as they were likely to be keeping
cows at a loss.
We do not agree with either state
ment, as we have seen silos a good
success for four or five cows, the
silo, however, being made small
enough to allow about eight inches
to be used off each day.
Many cows are kept at less cost
than $50 each year, reckoning the
coarse food at the value at which it
would sell on the farm, and many
on our milk farms are So fed that
they cost more than $50 per year,
where all the feed is bought for
them, and yet they pay for that and
yield fair profit beside.
And some who have a market for
milk at or near home make quite as
much per head on one or two cows
as Mr.. Libbie does on his. But the
cow that will produce from 400 to
500 pounds of butter in year, which
was the amount on which his figures
were based, must be good one and
well fed.
His cows are pure-br Jerseys
but we once owned Que not jersey,
possibly, by her looks, with a share
of Ayrshire and Shorthorn blood in
her, though classed as native, which
would produce about 400 pounds OF
butter In year, on only light grain
feeding in winter and good pasture
in summer.-American Cultivator.

Peach Prospects.

Peach trees in this locality have
had two years rest and a crop
should be expected from them in
1900. Too many fruit growers be-
come careless and neglectful of trees
in off years and, when the harvest
comes, are unprepared for it. Hence
they lose the opportunity. Take
care of the trees this fall; protect
them from the depredations of cat,
tie and other stock; on rainy days is
the best to get the borers out (this
can be done with the sharp blade of
pen-knife); cultivate the ground
around and about the trees so they
will make wood this year and fruit
buds will appear in due time; cut
out the dead brush and the crowd
ing, crossing limbs. 1t is a good
plan too to cut back when the limbs
are getting too long. There Is moth
ing more satisfactory than to see a
well-balanced, well-cared- peach
tree full of the ripe, luscious fruit
Take care of the trees now and you
may enjoy this most healthful and
delicious fruit next year.

As long as farming continues, so
long will barnyard manures, legum-
es and commercial fertilizers each
have their adherents. The old
fashioned farmer pins his faith en-
tirely to barnyard manures, the
scientific farmer to chemical fertili-
zers, but the plain, thinking, pro-
gressive, experienced farmer uses
all three intelIigently and wins the
battle. An authority on legumes
states, without contradiction, that as
much nitrogen can be furnished by
an application of ten or fifteen tons
of barnyard manure. While this is
true beyond dispute, OH thin soil it
will be necessary to use both barn
yard manures and commercial fer
tilizers in order to obtain patch"
of clover. BY thin soils is not meant
light soils, but rather the heavy,
clayey soils. These are poor in all
the chemical properties, but mainly
require nitrogen to set in action the
minerals already in the soil and to be
increased by the use of fertilizers
containing potash and phosphoric
acid. 1t is a homely comparison
but none the less true and fOrcible,
that soils cannot exist on single
food any more than could a human
being. The combination of the sew
eral foods found in barnyard man
ures, legumes and chemical fertili-
GERS are needed to obtain the best
results on all soils and are especial.
