to have them as in Fig. 2, and Other
combinations may be adopted in like

width of drag will not exceed three
feet. and the farmer may use those
of proper length, to make the drag
of the required weight. say six tc

boards are used the drag will be
about AZ feet wide, etc. 1t is easy
to bolt a mower seat on the drag.

The growing crops prove that there
is richness in our soil. On untitled land
the weeds tell plainly of the fertility
of our so-called waste places. From
year to year our county has made a
neglected and woolly appearance for
the simple reason that we do not raise
wool. Cattle will not thoroughly clean
land, but sheep will and at the same
time improve the soil. In addition to
the polish each farm would show if
there were flock of sheep on it, the
income would be better than any

Farmer. Trichina is found in pork
both in America and Europe, and its
presence has been made a pretext by
which some foreign nations keep out
American pork. Most of the pork in

this question in the European mind.
However, German pork is as much in

It is believed little more so.
Triehina inhabits the bodies of ami
mails at all stages of it's existence, and
where swine are entirely unable to
get anything but vegetable diet the
danger that they will become infested
with trichina is small. For that rea-
son 1t is not safe to permit swine to
feed on the offal Of slaughter houses,
carrfon, rats, mice and the like. Hogs
80 fed become a menace to the health
OF the este1s of the pork they pro-
duce. The trichina is very small, and
lives in minute cysts In the muscles.
When these cysts are eaten by hogs
the juices Of the stomach set loose the
imprisoner trichinae, which escape
into the intestines where they pair
and the females bring forth numer.
Gus brood of larvae, which find their
way to the muscles, where they in
turn become encysted. The hog him.

the presence Of these parasites, and
they can therefore be discovered only
by microscopic examination of the
pork. 1t il said that no remedy has
been discovered that will Destroy the

It is doubtful If the law will ever sue
eeed in giving the people full protec-

fruit producers can bring to bear on
the situation enough force to compel
honesty. In our foreign trade in fruit
it has been found that it pays to ship
only the best and the same principle
should be applied to our domestic mar
kets. We hope to see the day when all
fruit sold in our large markets will be
graded according to quality, honesty

M.k,nr Use Of skim M,lk.

Investigations show that many Of
our farmers that produce milk fail to
realize the value they should from the
skim milk. The writer has been in
creameries where the farmers had SO
little use for the skim milk that the
creamery manager was glad to get rid
of it to the citizens of the neighbor-
ing village at one cent per gallon. This
was a good thing for the citizens, but
it showed a great lack on the part of
the men that had produced the milk
We have no doubt that many of the
farmers that produced that milk and
didn't want the skim milk were feediug
