Huw MANY HOGS

That Depends Upon How Well b
General Farmer Likes Them.
"How many hogs should be kept
upon the farmY" Is a question upor
which Mr.. j. NJ. Jamison expresses the
following ideas in The Prairie Farmer
A farm from which the money crop is
principally hogs should improve year
after year. II the hogs thrive, rich
crops must be grown. Corn will do for
q series Of years II the old plan or
hogging down Is followed and only the
meat Is taken from the land. but con-
tinued cropping with con cannot be
followed when the crop Is taken OH
the land. Ii the fertility OF the land Is
kept up, the must be returned,
and clover should be grown to keep the
land In good condition. AS the land I'm
proves the farmer feels lie must In
crease his herd OF swine. and directly
the question Of limitation comes UP,
for he knows that with increased num-
bers comes Increased risk.
One farmer uluy be able to raise
more hogs than his neighbor because

ter natural facilities. such as arrange
ment Of fields and convenience nnd
abundance Of good water. There Is a
growing tendency to cut down the
amount Of fencing upon Il farm, II
this Is all right, but it adds to the linz
itatlons which surround hog raising, as
1t makes 1t necessary to keep large
numbers together and different sizes
and age III the same field. BY having
several fields the hogs may be shifted
around more. they can have cleaner
feeding grounds at all times. and more
care can be taken in asserting rs to
size.
The farmer himself has much to do
with the number that can be handled.
If he takes no pleasure in caring for
swine. lie will find that a very limited
humber will be sufficient for his farm.
If the farmer enjoys the presence of
swine on the farm and takes pleasure
in seeing them we'll fed. lie will gener.
ally succeed with them. Then the on.
" question he need consider Is how
many he can handle and keep them
healthy.
No farmer should have so many hogs
but that he can have new feeding
grounds to put them on If there Is
danger from disease or so many that
they cannot be shifted to different
fields during the year. On an S6 acre
farm for nearly ten years we were
able to send to market in two lots
from 70 to 80 hogs each year. This
was the product of five sows having
two filters each per year.
But when we undertook to double the
number of brood sows and nearly dou

The Bees Paid Beat.

Lady Henry Somerset, Of temperance
fame, speaking Of work carried on at
her industrial farm colony In England.
says: 1.-THE bees, however. are really
our MOST successful venture, They
have already repaid the whole Of the
original outlay, and given a profit as
we'll. This season the eight hives yield
oil 900 pounds Of honey. and the colo
nies were increased by warns from =

gain a very good profit II the season Ia

He Did, a Cut,

~ -
In a rural community In n Of the
middle states dwelt a man who made
q vow In 1856 that he would e his
hair and beard untrimmed until John
G. Fremont should be elected president
Of the United States.
He kept that vow for 40 years, at the
end Of which time he had nearly a half
bushel Of hair on his head and face.
Then, coming to the conclusion, to-
ward which his mind had been gradu.
ally working for a long time, that Geu-
eral Fremont's death In the interval
had practically absolved him from his
VOW. he decided to have his hair cut
and his beard shaved off clean. On
his next visit to the county seat he
went to a barber shop and was soon
relieved Of the hirsute burden he had
carried for four decades.
"How much" he asked.
Have to charge you half u dollar
for that job" said the barber, looking
at the mass that lay on the floor.
"Half a dollar" he gaspei. Don't
get anything for the hairT-Youth's

Gentlemen: In reference to your

this and think their scheme is 10
provide money to keep open all of
the schools of the county-if so |

Neihart have made a partial report
on their work, although the list is
not completed. We publish the

day, and hope next week to repre-
sent it more complete. 1t must be
understood that the corporations and
many of the business men have not
yet been seen. The sums here list
ed are donations and not loans, and
the district is by their receipt made
so much richer, and is not involved
III debt by subscription as is the dis
trict of Great Falls or Belt. Many
of our citizens have given an amount
equal to their assessment under the
illegal tax levy. A few have gone
over the levy, and some have fallen
far short of the assessment.

A Good Man Gone.

About two months ago Hon. n.
K. Benson, a we'll known mining
man of Castle, the owner of the once
famous California nine, disappeared
very suddenly. He had been work
ing the California mine for some
time with varied success and about
the time of bis departure was very
unfortunate and greatly depressed.
a week later, however, the work
men struck good ore once more in
the mine, but owing to Mr.. Benson's
disappearance work has since been
suspended.
Mrs. Benson was not appraised OF
her husbands intention to leave and
has no idea what has become of him.
Some conjecture an accident, others
self destruction, while others think
he has gone to try his fortune in a
newer country. However this may
prove, we have no idea. The whole
matter is a mystery to his friends
and acquaintance and also to Mrs
Benson.-Husbandman.
