Miss Somers heard DR.. Wharton speak at the
Moody meetings in New-York City in 1895 and

to Ocean Grove and repeated his story Miss
Somers rendered for the purposes Of an orphan

including the five acres they took in the entire
farm and instead of the property being placed
in the hands of trustees It was made over in

Alfalfa For Farms.

We have talked about alfalfa as a
crop for the far west, says The Rural
New Yorker. Somehow people have an
idea that it is designed chiefly for the
great western ranches where stock is
grown on an enormous scale and where
farming is conducted in wholesale
manner Experiments with alfalfa at
the New Jersey station indicate that
this plant will be of service to the small
farmer as well. The acre of alfalfa at
New Brunswick has proved successful
through this dry season. There are many
men with small farms who have not
considered it wise to try to produce the
hay and fodder needed for their stock.
They usually feed their sweet corn
stalks and buy hay, because it would
require a number Of acres to produce q
sufficient supply of timothy, and these
acres will produce far more when plant
ed to other crops. 1t now appears that
a single acre well seeded to alfalfa
would give them about all the fodder
needed to carry their stock through the
winter Such are the enormous posi-
bilities of this plant when properly
grown and cared for that it will often
pay the farmer who cultivates a few
acres of high priced land to put suit
able acre into alfalfa 1t is thus plant
not only for the wholesale farmer, but
for the high grade retailer as we'll

FoRTlETH ANNIVERSARY.

of the o casion:
We distinctly remember that the

times we have been called to stand by
the side of new made graves, when
parents, brother, sisters and children
have been covered elernally from sight,

unfolded in ''the sweet by and by we
know not. 1t was then that all the
world seemed perfect blank to us.
But after a time the acutest wounds
began to heal, and the sunlight of hope,
love and joy began to break through
the riffs in the cloud once more. Some
times financial troubles have overtaken
us and have made everything seem
dark and gloomy. But these have
been in a. measure overcome and we

Sheen shelter

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that they do not need an ex-
pensive building as a shelter A shed
open on one side suits them as well as
tight barn and even better. as they
require considerable ventilation But
it should be SO arranged that both rain
and snow can be kept out of it. for the

get it dry again, and the whole body

Texas Cattle Estimates.

AS against $50. 900 head of cattle fed

This is the top notch estimate of the
railroads live stock agents. stock raisers
and feeders. Some estimates rule as
low as 20, 600, but these are generally
from feeders. The live stock agents are
perhaps the best posted, and they calcu-
late that the number of steers will be
between 60, 600 and rs, 600 Probably,
with small punches fed on corn and
sorghum by farmers, the figures given
will be reached.
The principal trouble is the scarcity
and high price of cotton seed. This sent

but l think l can safely say that none

will be especially fine-in fact, the very
best that the Pullman company can
build. We have now three new trains
ready for service. expect that Janu-
airy Is will witness the Inauguration of
our passenger service into Omaha. The
road and equipment are now ready and
the cause for the delay exists in the
fact that our uptown offices are not yet
ready for occupancy. We expect they
will be by January Is. We are now

sFattenins Hogs Early,

The most common mistake of farmers
in feeding hogs though much less fire.
quently made than it used to be, is to
starve or half starve the animals
through the early summer and only be-
gin to feed heavily when cornhusking
begins, says the Boston Cultivator The
soft nubbins are always given first. and
the pig S stomach. unused to such heavy
food, is unable to digest it. with the
result that it ferments in the stomach.
and this causes acid to rise in the
mouth. making it sore as soon as the
corn is hard for the pig to chew
1t is often said that allowing pigs to
run in orchards and pick up sour apples
is what makes their teeth sore 1t is
true that a pig which has sore mouth
and aching teeth has also generally an
acid mouth, but the sourness comes
from fermentation in the stomach, not
from something sour originally put into
it. If the apples are cooked and dry
corn is ground into meal and mixed
with them, there will be no sore mouth.
The small potatoes, refuse beets and
other roots, if cooked, and also pump
kins make an excellent base with which
to feed any kinds of grains. The grain
may be cooked with the roots. and.
thus softened, it will digest nearly as
well as if dried and ground But it
must be remembered in feeding cooked
grain or meal that the grain swells so
that it has less bulk than grain or meal
that has not been cooked The hogs fill
themselves with it. and as it digests
more quickly than uncooked food they
require to be fed more frequently
