THE WINTHROP MoOLEN MILL
AND THE STRONG FAILURE.

A headline in the PRESS of Thursday
"Maine Mil Involved In the account OF
the Strong failure seems to have given
rise In the minds OF some persons who
did not read the text of the despatch, an
impression that the Winthrop WOODEN
mill was financially affected by that fall
ure. such an impression is entirely err
roneous. The only way In which the
winthrop mill was involved" was that
the Strong concern was its selling agent
as it was also OF many other mills. The
only effect the failure can have on the
winthrop mill Is to cause change In Its

exert it's magic influence, then some
thing seems to be wrong. The wrong
is very often that the cattle have
passed their prime, and all future
feeding will merely tend to help
them hold their weight. There is
no further gain.
Prime cattle sold in the market
means something more than fat and
we'll developed carcasses. It includes
acertain tenderness and juiciness of
meat which can be gained only
through rapid gr owing and laying on
of flesh. This result has been OBJ
tanned by good feeding of good ami
mails. If these animals had ceased
to grow, the meat would begin to
lose much of it's best virtues. It may
not be an easy matter always to tell
lust when an animal has ceased to
grow, or when it has reached its full
prime, but it is more profitable to
sell just before that period, and thus
lose the few extra pounds she may
have gained, than to hold her a few
weeks beyond full maturity when
she gains nothing in weight and loses
in quality. Most of as are inclined
to hold our cattle too long, and it
may we'll be Of value to some of US
to look into the matter. Are we
hampering ourselves by holding cat
tie over for higher markets when
they should be sold at once, or are
we selling them just as soon as they
have reached their prime and are in
the very best condition for the mar
ket. E. P. SMITH.

Gano, Is; York I'm erial, Is. Their
trees r set, when two years old, in
trenches instead of holes, Is feet
apart in rvs north and south, and
the rO"Es 80 feet apart. There are
three main reasons for adopting this
plan: % With the trees so close te-
gether they form their own wind
break, making hedges or belts OF
timber unnecessary. (2) The dense
shade makes the evaporation of
moisture from the soil less rapid,
and the danger from sun-scald of the
trunks and branches less imminent.

the excess of trees, if there is any,
can be removed as may be desirable.

CLEAN HOGS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

-
correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The value of c1oz6 hogs is every
time greater tan dirty, filthy swine,
and as a.Tdle the grower of expert
ence knows this. The man who
.6akes a speciality of raising clean
hogs inside and outside, makes his
market. and very often his price.
The old prejudice against pork as a
healthful food to eat is being broken
down gradually by those who assure
the consumptive public that their
hogs are raised on just as clean,
sweet food and in as sanitary pens as
the COWS O sheep. Pork made from
corn and sour swill, with swine
reared in the flthiest surroundings,
cannot be the best of meat to eat. 1t
often requires but n glance at an
o~ld-fashioned pig pen for a ~fastidious
person to turn away from pork for
the balance of his life.
But now let n glance at a mod
ern pig pen where everything Isl
clean and sweet, from the bed in the
corner to the feed in the trough, or
look over a herd of swine feeding IN
a clover lot where they to en-
JOY life more than in the pen, and
then the question may we'll be asked,
Is pork an unhealthy meat to eat?
Fresh pork and fine crisp bacon make
a tOOthsome diet for nine-tenths of
those who like meat, and if they can
be assured that the animals have
been reared under good sanitary sur
roundings they will eat and
more of this meat. The farmers
have no greater work to do in this
world than to redeem swine-rearing
from the low estate to which it has
fallen in the past. We + making
noticeable progress in this line, but
a few still hang on to old methods
and continue to disgust the city con-
sumner who may happen to venture
into the country in summer and see
a few pigs wallOwing in their own
mire-dirty, filthy and nauseating.
1t is a pity that some providence
wouldn't destroy every such pig with
swine cholera, visiting the owner
with a swift and sure punishment
for his carelessness. Those who
make an effort to raise the whole
business of swine breeding would
then receive their reward. AS it is
now we must fight against the lax
methods of our neighbors with all
the pertinacity we |. A few old
fossils will do more toward hurting
the whole trade in pork than many
of us imagine. One or two cases Of
hog cholera or diseased pork will
condemn the meat of all others in
that neighborhOod, although it might
been raised in the most eXem-
plary manner. The man who com
the offence is thus not the only
sufferer, and sometimes not even the
greatest. 1t is a pity that he is not
the only n to be punished. There
is only M remedy for this state Of
affairs, and that is to combine and
try to induce any lax neighbor to see
the matter in its true light, and con
vince him if possible that he is stand
ing in his own way for success.
Meanwhile we can do our utmost to
make our swine clean and sweet, in
side and outside.

KEEPING ANIMALS TOO LONG,

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t is very cOmmendable and hu-
manitarian sentiment to keep cattle
too long, for it indicates an attach
ment for them that one is 1oath to
break, and yet a farmer who is rails
ing animals for his living cannot let
sentiment interfere with Wat he
knows to be good business. Others
keep cattle too long simply because
they happen to be. ignorant of, the
best time to dispose of them, and
they keep waiting for a better turn
in the markets to help them get good
returns. Sometimes this living in
the hope of doing better later in
duces a farmer to carry his herd over
from month to month, and before he
knows it a year has slipped by. The
animals are meanwhile eating u D all
the profits they ever would have
made for their owners, and at the
same time re passing the prime of
life when they sell at the best prices.
We cannot afford to keep cattle
one day longer than the time thew
reach full maturity or prime of life.
Up to this period they have been
gaining in weight and flesh, and
every pound of feed that has been
given to them has made it's CORE
spending amount of flesh. Liberal
feeding of growing animals makes
glad the heart of the farmer or
breeder, but when the food ceases to

A VALUABLE BOOK.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest S1.25 to better al
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof, L.
II. Bailey's "Principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefores'-the
principles-of the business" of
farming It is written bya man Of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer Wilt not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the prObabi ity of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 300
pages. Send Us $1.25 and get copy.
