Good grades are much more reliable
breeders than are crosses apd are to be
preferred. The native stock has the vigor
of constitution, which is always neces-
sary, and has no inherited pre-potency
to develop in any certain direction. When
mated with a pure blood, the result is
usually an animal with the vigor of the
native ancestor and the characteristics
of the pure-blood parent shown in its
better form and fattening qualities Sue
ceeding crosses in the same direction
strengthen this tendency toward i'm
provement. The great objection to
grading up in this way is the fact that
no matter how fine specimens the ami
mails may be, they can never be sold as
pure bloods, and an animal which Is a
grade will never sell for breeding at as
high a price as will one which is of
pure blood and entitled to registration.
The man who intends to follow hog rails
ing as a business, even If he does not
keep more than a dozen animals, will find
it both profitable and economical to buy
a pair of bure bloods and then make his
entire drove pure bloods as soon as he
can raise enough desirable animals. BY
buying a young boar and a SOW already
in pig by boar not related to the one
purchased, the boar can be used on the
offspring of the pure blood sow as well
as upon the grades or natives in the
herd, and in this way the pure bloods
can be increased so rapidly that there
will soon be no need to keep the grades.
The hog raiser should certainly use a
pure blood boar, and 1t will usually pay
TO buy new one each year, so that in
breeding may be avoided. Pure blood
hogs are not necessarily expensive. They
pay best in the end. and so are more
profitable than either crosses or grades.
Good animals though not the best, Of
any OF the standard breeds, can be pur-
chased for from IS to $40 each when
weaned, while young sows in pig can be
bought for from $40 to 800 or course
older animals which show specially fine
qualities will cost more, and their better
qualities will often make them the more
profitable In the end. Breeders who have
established regulations as producers Of
exceptionally fine animals usually receive
much higher prices than those named
above. but often man who raises hogs
FOR production OF pork only and who
does not care for reputation as
breeder Will sell good breeding ami
mails for little more than their pork

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRI-
CULTURIsT AND HOUSEWIFE.
Rust of Asparagus - Insects and
BIight-MeJilotus, or Sweet Glover.


Observation-Disclosures, or Sweet Glover.
AS most asparagus growers know this
valuable vegetable has been affected with
rust from one end OF the country to the
others. It had prevailed in northern Sec
lions for some time before, but it was
only last fall when 1t was first observed
in Middle Georgia. Our own asparagus
beds started only two years previously
and apparently as thrifty and healthy as
plants could be, suddenly rusted and in
a few days was the color of gold. Il
was feared that the asparagus was DOOM
ed. but heroic remedies were devised
and put into effect at once. The plants
were copiously busted with quicklime
and all along the rows trash twigs and
straw were piled up against the bushes
and set afre. The asparagus tops were
buried 60 the ground and the fire was so
hot as to heat the surface soil intensely
The bearing season was looked for with
much fear and interest.
1t is now April 26 and no asparagus
bed anywhere could have yielded a finer
supply of this succulent and wholesome
vegetable as these beds have supplied in
the past four weeks. Such of the stocks
as were allowed to grow seem as green
and healthy as plants need be. Certain
ly thus far the rust seems not to have
done any serious damage but it cannot
be determined until some time later
whether the rust has been annihlated
or not. If il should reappear this fall
it will be subjected to the same treat
ment, with the addition of an application
or two of Bordeaux mixture. II is quite
possible that plants that were not treat
ed TO the Inning and burning would have
produced crop this season and we can
not say that the treatment we gave was
productive of the apparent good results
So we will have to wait for further OBJ
servation and experience
II any of our readers have had any OBJ
selvation of this disease on their plants
We would be glad to know of ii. 1t was
thought last year by some that this SPLEEN
did early spring vegetable was doomed
to entire destruction before very long
but we hope that this fear will not prove
true.

greenhouses bring the delights of the
summer season into the time when all
nature is wrapped in the cold of winter
We learn from our fri nds I'm Florida that
even there they are preparing to grow
oranges and bananas under some protec-
ton, as being cheaper and safer than
building fires for t at purpose 1t is prob
ably The New Engianders in Florida, who
know how largely glass is used for the
growing of flowers and vegetables, who
introduced this to the people of Florida.
If it is successful there, why cannot this
method be IL ed in many other places with
equal advantage? AS the hot houses in
any neiehborhood are increased they help
to moderate the severity of cold in win
ter in their vicinity. So the general build
ing of greenhouses helps those who do
not use them directly. A. G.

Never before have we seen the garden
more beset with insects than this spring
Lice, flea beetles, green worms cut
worms Especially the climbing sorD pota-
to bugs and diabrotia are all on hand
early in April.
So far as possible the early brood of
all these insects should be diligently
fought, laying aside all other work If ne
cessary.
In our own garden we have found moth
ing better than pyrech trume powder dust
ed on the insects or on the leaves of the
vegetables. in the early morning or late
in the afternoon. A small hand bellows
is used to spread the powder. From first
TO last in a season cut worms do consid-
cradle damage and it is difficult to pre-
vent the destruction they do. Their signs
can be seen every morning in the garden
where they have cut down plant. They
are easily found then and should be de-
stroyed so TO prevent any further dam
age. We have lost fully 20 per cent of
our cabbage this season from the various
cut worms. The climbing cut worm is
more destructive than we have ever
known it. 1t is difficult TO come up with
the worms. They climb into the plant
eat out the bud and retire to the earth
before light. They are rarely seen on the
plant. A small quantity of carbolic acid
Ga teaspoonful to 10 gallons of water)
sprinkled on the plants is a very good
protection from several insects. For the
green worm pyrechrum powder is handy
and cheap.
The time Is certainly at hand when
every Southern farmer and gardener and
fruit grower must needs acquire a prac-
teal knowledge ofinsects and diseases Of
plants and means of contending with them
must he as surely provided as he would
provide machines for gathering a crop or
cultivating IT. Besides this every person
in these classes should do everything pos
