R.pe for Hogs.

Rape is a most wonderful plant for
hogs. It can be sown from early
spring to the first of August. In eight
weeks after the early sowing it will
do to turn in to, and then you can have
rape for pasture till into December,
writes contributor to Michigan Farm
er. Hogs do not need rings in their
noses while feeding on rape, or at
least this is my experience. Very little
roofing has been done all summer for
us in our rape fields. 1t is most ex-
cellent to turn brood sows into after
weaving the pigs. No attention need
be given to them all summer only to
see that they have shade and water.
The rape is composed of so much wa
ter that it almost furnishes enough
water. We have kept fourteen large
a half ever since the spring pigs were
weaned and they have been unable to
keep it eaten down. They were poor
when turned in and they thrived right
along all summer without anything but
rape and water. One SOW raised five
nice pigs with no feed but rape. We
now have thirty-three brood sows in
this patch sleeking up the last rape of
the season. 1t is best to have two or
three small lots sown, SO that hogs can
be changed from one to the other
Don't feed it off too close while the
weather is warm and the ground too
dry, for it won't come on very salts
factorily afterwards.
We nearly killed one patch in that
way this last summer. 1t should be
six or eight inches high before turning
into. If turned into when too small,
before it has sufficient root, the hogs
will pull good deal of it up. If your
land is rich and free from weeds it
will be best sown broadcast at five
pounds of seed to the acre. A good way
to do is to pillow the ground early and
drag it frequently till ready to sow.
This will make fine, firm seed beG
and rid the ground Of weeds that
would otherwise bother. 1t is claimed.
however, that better results can be had
by drilling in rows about 20 inches
apart and cultivating. However this
may be, it would take a great deal
more, work and trouble. I don't see
how much more could grow on the land
than did for me sown broadcast. One
man told me that his hogs would not
eat it. 1 must say that ne either soweo
the wrong kind of rape or he had some
very peculiar hogs. Our hogs seemed
| to like it better than clover, for they
| had both clover and rape to run into
at the same time, and they could be
seen most in the rape. Rape, if prop
erly sown and properly pastured, will
certainly solve the problem of cheap
pork, for spring pigs, continually kept
in it from weaving time till December,
will make good sized hogs with very
| little grain.

than this il you wish to have eggs to

hatch.
Set the eggs as early as possible.
and as many eggs at one time as you
can, for the ducklings grow SO fast that
two or three days will cause decid-
ed difference in the size of the birds
at marketing time. The market for
young ducks in the last few years has
gone down with a rush, in a weeks
time falling from 10 cents per pound to
cents per pound, in SO. To get good
pay for time, expense and bother, one
should market the ducks not later
than the first week in June, and as
much earlier than this as possible.
Don't keep your early and late ducks
entire until the late are of market size,
for by doing this you will, perhaps. not
have a cent Of profit, but as soon as
your early flock, if not more than
twenty-five in number, is ready to sell,
market them without delay; then send
the next set as soon Sas ready. OF
course, it is more bother, time and ex-
pense accordingly to make so many
sales, but the not having all your ducks
early is your misfortune, and TO wait
until all are ready will make the mat
ter worse in two ways. The price will
go down and the ducks will not gain
so fast, yet will eat just as much. fof
their feathers will grow into duck
feathers, cease to be baby feathers.
AS they grow older they are more
easily frightened, and a fright lasts
them longer, thus not only causing a
stoppage in their own gains, but in
those younger as we'll, If their yards
adjoin. Keep the different aged duck
lings in separate pens SO they may be
fed separately and differently, for when
almost ready to market they are best
finished of on corn meal alone. Be
careful to gather the eggs before they
chill, do not wash them, and set them
under hens that have warm nests. Do
not give more than nine to hen in
early spring.

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only al
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. TO prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of it's victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it.

Lisbon Butter in London.

The immense consumption of butter

not participate in the profits to be de-
rived from trade which John Bull al

there are other countries on the CONT

market wherein to dispose of the but
ter she did not need herself. Lately
there have been several conslgnments
from that country, and as the expert
ment is said to have turned out bene-
ficially to the exporters we are likely
to find Portugal established on our list
of imports, though the customs will
hide the fact under the "other coun-
tries" euphemism which is so irritat-
ing to the inquirer. Undoubtedly, says
Commercial Intelligence, the wonder
full manner in which prices have kept
up is responsible for the appearance Of
Lisbon butter in our midst. The dry
weather everywhere has so curtailed
production that quotations are at pres

those ruling this time last year, and
the demand keeps at the heels of sup
ply, which is a great temptation, and
just the opportunity for newcomer

The multitudes who use this standard article
know that IL is many hundred per cent better than

bat great many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best materials

use them, because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that
one Of the elements OF his cement costs S3.75 a
large share Of the sO.called dement's and liquid
