NATURES SECTIONS.

When any form of life perishes, ma
ture is wonderfully prompt to resolve
1t into Its original elements as quickly
as possible, and both the animal and
vegetable worlds have agents which
work almost wholly on this line as
sections or undertakers. Thus we see
in the case of the tree smitten by
blight an army of worms and bugs
which seek the decaying wood in
which to feed and propagate their
kind, these, in turn, sought as food by
the woodpeckers, which in short time
tear and riddle the deeaying stump,
While not infrequently Mother Nature
will plant vine to feed ON the decay
ing roots and tenderly hide the work
of death with a wreath of greenery.
With a dead animal the odor of decom-
position is notice to the fly that there
is work for it to do, and out of this
comes the seeming paradox that q sin
gle bluebottle fly win destroy a dead
horse more quickly than would a lion.
Then we have the tireless winged gull
as an ocean scavenger, and the vulture
its counterpart on land, or we can look
down among the myriad pygmy life
underfoot and watch sexton beetle
busy at work. exercising a knowledge
of engineering In accomplishing its her
culean task which is little short OF
marvellous. 1t is left for man alone to
abrogate the natural law on this thing
and by ingenious systems Of embalm-
ing preserve his own dead for an in
definite length Of time

PIG BREEDING.

The breeding of pigs is almost en-

Cultivator. We do not agree with

The first litter when they are mated
young may not be large one or the
pigs as fine as she will produce when
older, but the future filters will be bet

At Is months old she will have either
begun taking on fat or she will have
been half starved to prevent it, and Ell

WHEN TO SELL.

1t is not always easy to determine
| farm. 1t seems to be true that farm
! products seldom go to rising market,
| the owners thinking that they will get
| still better prices. 1t is also true that
such products will rush in to a falling
market the owners hoping to get rid
of their stuff before it gets lower in
price. Where a farmer is so situated
that he is not compelled to sell and can
choose his market this phase of his
business should receive more attention
than it does. The first and most i'm
portant thing to do in the study of this
matter is to ascertain as near as may
be possible just what his stuff has cost
variation in cost price of farm com
modties even on farms in the same
ueighborhood A safe rule for guild
ance is that when produce is selling
for less than it cost to produce it is safe
to hold it provided it can be so held
without deterioration and loss. Hay
in barn, corn in crib and grain in the
bin are examples. With live stock,
dairy products, roots and fruits the
case is different, animals when fit for
the market becoming a daily expense
to longer keep and the other products
being perishable. 1t seldom pays to
hold potatoes over for a spring market
if q fair price can be obtained for them
in the field when dug. 1t will nel er
pay the farmer to hold butter, cheese
or fruits, and the sooner these are sold
the better. 1t does not pay to carry
over until winter 40 or 80 young roost-
ers and then sell them for less than
they would have brought in July as
broilers; it does not pay to keep stuff
ing corn into $50 pound hog when it
will bring 4 cents pound; it does not
pay to keep milking a COW which will
make only 125 pounds of butter in a
year-it is time to market her any day;
it never pays to sell well bred steer
calf for veal or keep for future beef
animal the low bred and i'll favored
one. 1t will pay to break in and fit up
the colt before he Is sold, for there is
$50 in doing it if such colt is a good
one. The good brood mare the aged
SOW which has always raised q good
litter of pigs and the good COW should
not be sold even at fancy figures dur
ing their period of usefulness. The
markets of the country at large should
be watched and studied and possible
shortage of any staple commodity an
ticipated. In conclusion, the average
farmer should not be a speculator.

1t is in 1850. A 20 acre field of wheat
has been sown on a Wisconsin farm
on Saturday and dragged over once.
On Sunday morning the air is thick

field of wheat, swarm down upon it.,

good gun, is able to keep them from
the field. 1t was pigeons hot pigeons

In a continued procession from morn
