!. FARM AND GARDEN.
Fnrrowinp Pius. !; !:

Some farmers prefer to have their pigs
narrowed in the spring, as they escape
the severity Of winter, do not become
checked in growth with cold, and grow
rapidly until the time arrives for con-
verting them into pork. As soon as
weaned they are given clover and grass
literally, and are not made fat until
nearly ready for the pork barrel. AS
there may be considerable cold weather
before the spring, it is not desirable to
have sows farrow before April. If pigs
come in March they must have warm
quarters and given careful attention un-
til the warm seasCn opens.

Skim Milk for Pice.

The time has passed when the swill
barrel was considered a necessary ad-
junct to the keeping of pigs. No food
was filthier than that from the swi1l bar
rel, and the pigs were compelled to accept
food that had undergone fermentation
until it was sour, but which was a mass
Of disease germs. The invention of the
cream separator has worked changes in
the feeding of swine. 1t is now cheaper
to give the fresh skim milk to the pigs
than to attempt to keep it, and the
ground grain is thus more easily fed at
the same time. Pure water, clean food,
dry pens and comfortable bedding have
done more to eliminate disease than
medicine.

Polite Lie in EMBRYO,

A little child has given us a peep into
the process by which the polite lie is
developed. Mamma was talking to Fife
about the absence of Edith from the
children's party. "You are sorry" said
mamma, that Edith could not come %
Eftie replied, having enjoyed herself,
"Oh, 1 don't mind much" To which
mamma rejoined, But Edith is i'll! that
is why she couldn't come. You must be
sorry" Effie considered. Eyes, of
course, I'm sorry" she said, '.but il
doesn't hurt me-inside.''

Killing the White Grub,

The white grub, common in grass lands
and more or less destructive to wheat
and other vegetation, is hard enemy to
conquer. 1t spends most of it's time I'M
der the soil practically out Of reach until
it passes through it's last stage and
energies as the well-known May beetle
or June bug. Many plans of destroying
this W bite grub have been tried and none
have been found wholly effective. The
most effective method is in late fall or
winter blowing of grass lands, the work
being done after the grub has prepared
it's winter cell under the surface. BY
this blowing the grub is thrown up near
the surface Of the soil and is killed by
the frosts. This is slow and laborio,ls
process, but is the only thing that has
proved at all effective. Fruit growers,
mere particularly strawberry growers,
many times make the mistake of setting
strawberry plants ON newly -plowed grass
land, using 1t because it is rich. The
result is these white grubs cut off many
of the plants the first winter following
setting. If grass lands are to be used
for strawberry plants they should first
have hoed crop and be fall plowed af-
ter the crop is harvested, the setting of
the straw berry plants being done the fol-
lowing spring.

How to Locate Henhouses.

Poultry houses should not he located on
the north side of clump of evergreen
trees or to the north Of buildings that
will shut off the supply Of sunshine in
the winter time. Sunshine should be
present at all times of the day; it's salu-
tary effect will be remarkable. In the
summer time the fowls naturally get all
the sunshine they want without our help
but at this time Of year we must give
them our help. Sunshine will keep the
air dry, and will, to some extent, natural
ize the moisture constantly being thrown
off from the lungs of the fowls. A few
good-sized windows on the south side will
prove Of immense value-Farmers' Re
view.

Energy in Plants.

Live plants are plants with their par
ticles in motion building up the plants
structure. This motion is known as vital
energy. Physical energy results in de
composition. The material out of which
plant structure is formed is known as
protoplasm. The forms Of flowers result
from varying degrees and directions of
vital energy-but what starts the motion
of protoplasm, and so directs the energy
that a little cell may develop in one in
stance to an oak, or in another to but
tercup, has not been demonstrated:-Me-

That children tall for their ages are
generally born in the summer is a novel
theory. AS far as boys alone are con
autumn and winter are not so tall as
those born in spring and summer. Those
born in November are the shortest, in
July the tallest. Averages for girls
show that those born in winter and
spring have less length of body than
those born in summer and autumn. The
tallest girls are born in August.
