Food for Growing Pigs.

The best ration that can be fed to
growing pigs is plenty of skim milk, to-
gether with a grain ration composed
of one-third shorts, or ground peas
or oats, and the balance corn meal with
room for plenty of exercise and, clover
pasture to feed on. The skim milk and
clover is not always to be had, but
there is no reason why the corn ra-
ton cannot be supplemented with
some one of the three grains above
mentioned, and no one can afford to
raise hogs if he confines them to a
pen. The corn-fed hog is not so Wig
orous as the one fed on a variety of
feeds and is more liable to disease

CuttinS Weeds After Rains.

When cutting weeds, especially after
a very wet time, care should be taken
not to cut off the tops, but to uproot
them with as little destruction of
leaves possible. When the roots are
shaken so as to loosen all the moist
earth attached to them they will
wither very fast, especially if the top
is left attached to them. The top be-
gins to dry, then it calls on the root
for moro moisture, and both root and
top dry up together. 1t is the practice
of the best gardeners to shorten in
the tops of valuable plants when they
are setting them out. To prepare a
weed the same way is to make'it almost
certain to grow vigorously.-American
Cultivator.

vanced to practical results, says the
Chicago Chronicle. In southern and
eastern Wisconsin the interest taken
in this movement has crystallized into
numerous county organiza tions for
the carrying out of plans determined
upon. The crusade in that state was
begun by Senator James II. Scott, of
Menominee, who, working with Gen.
E. T. Harrison, United States govern
ment road expert, built section of
road at his own expense and at an
suspicious time gathered several hun.
dred farmers to inspect it. Last fall
the state fair management took up
the idea and constructed stretch of
improved road at Milwaukee. In con-
nection with this enterprise a con-
vention, at which over 1000 delegates
were in attendance, was held.
As result of this initia tive the sew

gained last winter, Waukesha lead

seem to be taking the lead in this
matter.
Efforts of this nature give the most
substantial encouragement to the ma
tional movement for better roads and
greatly advance the interests of
cycle touring. Conscious of increas-
ing public support, local interests are
about to make vigorous campaigns for
