Good grades are much more reliable
breeders than are crosses and are to
be preferred. The native stock has the
vigor Of constitution. which is always
necessary, and has no inherited pre-
potency to develop in any certain
direction. When mated with 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. Succeeding
CT S5ses In the same direction strength
en- this tendency toward improvement.
The great objection to grading up"
in this way Is the fact that, no matter
how fine specimens the animals may
be, they can never be sold as pure
Hoods, and an animal which is a grade
will never sell for breeding at as high
price as will one which is of pure
blood and entitled to registration. The
man who intends to follow hog raising
as business, even if he does not keep
more than dozen animals, will find
1t both profitable and economical to
buy pair of pure-bloods, and then
make his entire drove pure-bloods as
soon as he can raise enough desirable
animals. By buying young boar and
SOW already in pig by boar not re-
lated to the one purchased, the boar
can be used on the offspring Of the
a. al
grades or natives in the herd, and in
this way the pure-bloods can be in
creased so rapidly that there will soon
be no need to keep the grades. The
blood boar, and 1t will usually pay to
buy a 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 purchased for from So to $40 each
when weaned, while young sows in
pig can be bought for from $40 to $40.
OF 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 exception
ally fine animals usually receive much
higher prices than those named above,
but often a man who raises hogs for
production Of pork only, and who does
not care for reputation as breeder,
will sell good breeding animals for lit
tie more than their pork Values. M.
Tracy.

Look to the Varieties.

Too little attention Is paid by most
Of our cultivators to the varieties Of
grain or other things they grow. They
get hold of one or two varieties that
seem to satisfy them and look no fur
Their. Yet in the varieties there are
great differences Of yields per acre.
The farmer should give more attention
to this matter. We might take as an
illustration the experience Of the Kan
sas Agricultural College with Kafir
corn. For seven years they had grown
the red Kaflr corn and liked it. 1t gave
a good crop each year. On the eighth,
ninth and tenth years they, however,
grew by the side Of the red the black
hulled white. In 1896 the yield Of red
was Al bushels to the acre, and Of the
black-hulled white 4S bushels, and in
1897 the yields were the same. In
1898 red yielded 20 bushels and the
black-hulled white 80 bushels. AS a
result of these figures the college set
tied down to growing the black-hulled
white. 1t was the wise thing to do,
But would they ever have done it II
they had not grown both varieties side
by side and discovered the advantage
of the one over the other? What is
true in this case is true Of all farm
crops. We should grow only the most
productive varieties, and that can be
ascertained only by growing plats of
several varieties Of kind. Thus, IL
a man is growing wheat, let him select
a number Of varieties that have done
the best at our experienent stations
and grow them in plats for years. In
the meantime he can be growing the
one that he believes to be most pro-
ductive. The same applies to all other
crops.

ornamental gardening. Il Is one Of
the needs Of our Western farm life.
To surround a family with beauty fire.
quently means to make them contented'
I ,es and flowers affect the character
Of those that live among them. II O
care Of such things is necessary in the
East. where trees and plants naturally
abound. 1t is the more necessary In the
West, where homes have been estab-
lished on plains that were once treeless
and swept even now by drouth-breed-
ing winds.
In planting trees in regions that
have before been treeless many adverse
conditions have to be overcome. In
the first place the soil is covered with
sod, and this is not a promising
condition for tree q with. The soil is
not naturally in the condition where
1t will hold water, for it lacks humus.
The best way to overcome these OBJ
stacles is to plant the trees close to-
gether, SO that 1t will be impossible for
grass to thrive in their shade. This
of course does not include such trees
as the cottonwood. In planting thick
cts 1t is advisable to get rid Of the
grass at the beginning and give the
trees a fair chance.
In the effort to change bleakness
into beauty the greatest ally is the
tree. The tree is the easiest to estab-
lish because it can send down its roots
long distances into the moist subsoil,
and will exist when smaller plants per-
ish with the drouth. The trees once
established protect smaller plants that
are afterward set out AID become the
sturdy barriers against destructive
vii s and whitening heat. Trees,
however, must be themselves protected
and fostered till they have obtained a
firm hold Of the soil and have estab-
lished the ability Of approprlating the
soil water.
1t may not be generally known that
heavy SHOWS sometimes do great dam
age to planted groves of forest trees.
At Fargo, the location Of the North
Dakota experiment station, the trees
of the grove are protected by row OF
willows ten rods to the north and run
ming parallel with the grove. The
snow drifts in the lee of the willow
trees instead of in the grove.

Growing Pop Corn.

The demand for pop corn increases
every year, yet the crop is never equal
to the market, says Joel Shoemaker in
Indiana Farmer Farmers do not con-
slider the profits OF this special crop
or there would be more grown for sup
plying home demands. Pop corn re-
quires about the same soil as that de-
manded by the sweet and field vari-
cites. A sod or vegetable mould, con-
tanning more sand than clay and hav-
ing previous clean culture Is best
adapted to corn growing. II plowed in
the fall or winter and left to freeze
until the spring weeds begin to grow
before planting, the land will be in fine
condition. This crop wants plant food
like all others, but can get along with
little nitrogen. An average fertilizer
might contain about per cent each
of phos2horic acid and potash and per-
haps III per cent to 2 per cent nitro
gen; from 400 to COO pounds per acre
would be considered fair application.
Another popular fertilizer for corn is
a mixture of about $50 pounds Of fine
ground bone and 100 pounds muriate
of potash per acre broadcasted and we'll
mixed with the soil before planting
time.
Pop corn may be planted closer than
any other varieties. His plan of plant
ing is to make the burrows three feet
apart and have the corn stand one
stalk in hill, IA inches apart in the
rows. II the corn is planted very early
or late it will not suffer SO much from
the worms as the medium planted
crops. Where irrigated, care must be
taken in keeping the water from the
stalks and not give the plants more
than two periods Of irrigating during
the growing season. The poor ears can
be fed to poultry with profit and tho
fodder is relished by the cows. sheep
and horses.

caterpillars reach their full size in
August, and measure at that time
about siX-teLths Of an inch.
The little moth is a blush or green
ish-black color. 1t has very narrow
wings, which expand nearly an inch
across, and flies during the warmest
hours Of the day, when it frequents
flowers. Its flight is rather peculiar.
and is quite slow and unsteady. Wher-
ever this insect occurs in large num-
bers it becomes quite injurious, but as
it leads a social life in it's caterpillar
state 1t can readily be destroyed by the
use of arsenical poisons.

8ixe OF the ephiux.,

The sphinx measures sixty-six feet
from the excavated bottom Of its base
to the top of the figure. The length Of
each ear Of the sphinx is four and
one-half feet, its mouth seven and one
half feet wide, and its face fourteen
feet broad. A person standing on tho
top OF its ear can not reach to the top
Of Its head. The sphinx is certainly
large enough, but photographs show
ing 1t In varying sizes. even towering
above the highest pyramid, is a mere

The scientific name Is Harrisima

in clusters Of 20 or more. The cater

side on the under side Of the leaf,
their heads all directed towards the
