Hogs and Pork,

In commenting on the varying char
acteristics of hogs for pork Wallace's
Iowa Farmer says: The best pork we
ever ate was grown in the mountain
GUS regions of Kentucky on skim milk.
grass and mast and finished on corn.
The dairy sections can, If they will,
produce pork that will command a
higher price when its merits become
known on the market because the hogs
have been fed on perfectly clean food.
Filth and nastiness will have its effect
on the quality of meat, no matter where
1t was fed or to what kind Of an ami
NAL. The corn-fed hog will furnish the
lard; the hog fed under ordinary West
ern methods will always be the staple
produced in the future, as now, either
in countries that can not grow corn or
in sections where corn is used simply
for interlarding the muscles that have
been grown on muscle-making feed.

When Best tn Pm ne

One advantage claimed for pruning
in June is that the wounds made heal
quickly. But while this is the case it
should also be remembered that a
healthy. perfect healing is of more i'm
portance than rapid healing. Later
pruning heals more slowly and usually
more perfectly. All things considered,
the best plan in pruning is to prune
annually and to do most of the prun-
Ing during the summer, when it can
be done with the thumb and finger OF
course. it is necessary to remove large
limbs should they die from any cause
or become diseased. But with the ex-
ception of this there should be no me-
cessity for removing large limbs if a
good system Of annual pruning is fol-
lowed, and this is often quite an item.
August and September are good
months in which to remove large limbs,
but SO far as can be, the removal of
large limbs should be avoided by an.
nual pruning.-Exchange

discriminating Weeds.

A weed is very properly termed "a
plant out of place." but when a good
healthy burdock. nettle, teazel, rag
weed or pigweed springs up beside a
poppy or nlarigold the order seems to
be reversed; the weed seemingly
thrives just as well, while the desirable
plant becomes decidedly "out of place.
A vigorous use of the hoe at once up
on the appearance Of the little weed
seedlings, where a hoe can be used, is
the quickest and most effective way to
dispose of them; but if they are allow
ed to grow for few days they may
be easily pulled up root and branch. If
a weed has attained any size never cut
1t off with the hoe. but pull it up or
generally new shoots will quickly come
from the old crown. Whatever the way
or means, keep the weeds down entire
ly, at all hazards, for they rob the soil
and render otherwise slightly places
decidedly OBJECTIONABLE. A wise gar
dener is he who never allows a weed of
any kind to go to seed about his place
for considerable distance about the
outskirts, thereby saving himself many
a backache the following season. When
large weeds about to seed are pulled up
they should be burned, as they might
germinate.-Woman Home Compan-

Feeding New Corn.

It is the custom Of many farmers to
commence feeding new corn to hogs az
soon as it, is in the roasting-ear. max
ing it. with the addition of pasture
frequently scanty, the sole feed from
that time until the hogs are finished for
the market. This is wasteful prac-
tice. How wasteful any farmer can
see for himself, says Wallace's Farmer,
If he will pull off an ear of corn in
roasting ear, hang it up to dry, pulling
one each week until the corn is ready
to cut up, and then, about the LIST of
December, when all are thoroughly dry,
shell and weigh the grains on each ear,
taking care that the ears selected be as
nearly as possible of the same length
and the same number of rows.
He will then understand as he never
did before that up to the roasting ear
stage the corn plant Is simply getting
ready for work, and that its work of
storing food in the ear is done in Il

Look Ont for Potato Larva.


Notwithstanding the scarcity Of the
potato beetles early in spring there will
be a good many potato hills stripped
before farmers are aware. Each fe-
male beetle lays 1000 eggs before she
dies, and as these are on the under side
of the leaf to keep them dry they are
unnoticed despite their bright yellow
color until the larva hatch out and be-
gin their work on the leaves. The larva
keep in the sunlight as much as posi-
bic, though at night they cuddle down
in the crevices between stalk and
branch, and in wet weather hide under
the leaves. In a bright sunshiny day
the progeny Of one beetle will strip a
good many hills. so that their product
will not be worth much. There will be
some fair-sized potatoes grown under
these stripped hills, but the tubers will
be deficient in starch, and will be salvy
or watery when cooked instead Of
mealy, as cooked potato should be.
1t is the leaves which supply the starch
to the potato. and wherever leaves are
destroyed by any cause the potatoes
will be poor. SO the farmer did not gain
anything by moving down his potato
tops so soon as he found potato larva
working on them.

THE FARM AND HOME.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Err AND HOUSEWIFE.
A Southern Farmers Experinent Of
CultivatinE Wheat for Hay-Feeding
New Corn IL a Wasteful Practice
Methods of DISCRIMINATING Weeds.

Some Southern farmers are expert
menting with the cultivation of wheat
for hay, and one of them writes thus
to the Southern Cultivator:
have grown and cut wheat for hay
for the last five years, and have never
found or saved crop that gave more
satisfactory returns. l am a farmer
with twenty years experience. Wheat
is the most easily raised and also the
most economical crop Southern farm
er can produce. 1t grows at time
when nothing else is growing. From
May to 20 it can be moved and saved
for hay, cut in milk to dough stages.
1t is the least trouble of any crop to
cut, cure and save, and has more food
value than other hay, and stock relish
and eat it clean. 1t will not collie or
scour stock or cattle. Another adyan-
tage is that it enables us to grow two
crops each year on the same land. The
land where grown can be fitted by June
for the succeeding crop. When grown
for market it has proven very protita-
bic, as 1t comes at a time when hay is
scarce, month ahead Of oats. Many
men will say oats are preferable, but
when they try the two crops side by
side they will decide in favor of wheat.
because it is sure crop, benefits the
land, comes a month earlier, and Is no
trouble to cure. If oats get wet they
will mold; wheat will not. Stock eat
the wheat up clean; not so with oats.
l follow my wheat with peas, and
corn broadcast, one peck each per acre.
Crab grass comes along with the corn
and peas, which adds to the value Of
the hay. We produce from one to two
tons of wheat hay per acre, and about
the same of corn and peavine hay, and
when baled it sells readily at $15 to 500
per ton. Land that will thrash ten
bushels of wheat will make one to one
and a half tons of wheat hay per acre.

Reminders for the Poultry Yard.
Remember the chicks.
Chicks should have animal protein.
Market your eggs clean; they will sell
better.
Remove all droppings from hens
roosting places.
Cleanliness is next to goodness in the
poultry yard.
Onions chopped fine make desirable
relish for chicks.
Dispose Of surplus or Gull cockerels
| as soon as marketable
Chicks must always have plentiful
supply Of water and grit.
AS the chicks mature separate the
males from the females.
Rolled oats or coarse oatmeal is a
muscle and bone builder.
After breeding season separate male
birds from your females.
Feed plenty of grass, green weeds or
anything green to mature penned
| fowls.
L "
GRADUATED charcoal is eaten greedily
by chicks; it absorbs the gases in the
| bowels and regulates them.
Salt bacon cut into small pieces,
rolled in corn meal, fed every two
weeks, will usually stop cholera.
If your chicks have diarrhoea feed
or two of middlings will Outlines stop
it. If sconstipated. feed few feeds of
bran.
If hen becomes broody, let her sit
on a nest prepared for her out of your
hen house for week or SO. She will
then be in better laying condition.
Grease the heads of chicks with lard,
dust the chickens under the wings with
insect powder, clean their feed and
water troughs with scalding water
twice a week.
