News came from Columbus Thurs
day that the State Board of Equaliza-
tion had rescinded the action Of that
Doay, acting as a committee of the
whole, granting a reduction CT ten per
cent. on the realty values of Larietta,
and unless something is done to right
away the assessment as agreed upon by
the local board will stand for the next
ten years. 1t will be remembered that
some weeks ago a Committee of the
Marietta Board of Trade went to Col
umbus, and was given a hearing by
the State Equalization Board, at the
conclusion of which the ten per cent.
reduction was agreed upon: Since
then the Board of Trade Committee
along with the citizens in general, has
been resting secure in the belief that
when final action came the ten per
cent reduction would stand, but it now
develops that all belief and hope in
that direction was built on a founda-
tion of sand. The final action of the
State Board was taken without inti-
nation to the Marietta Committee,
which seems strange, to say the least.

A much needed Improvement in Ma
rietta, in fact one that demands
prompt attention, is substantial
walk leading from Front street to the
boat landing on the bank of the Mus
kingum. The necessity of this has
long been felt, and it's great need has
become even more urgent since the
nigh waters have receded. At pres
ent the path for the entire distance
from the street to the river bank is
covered with sticky mud almost
shoe-top deep, and people experience
great difficulty in getting TO and from
the boats. 1t is hoped that this i'm
portant matter will receive prompt at
tention.

The poultry business is 30 attractive

Planting Corn by Machinery.

Every year, as the time for planting
corn approaches, we are met bylques-
tions as to how corn should be planted
for the silo. Where the area to be
planted is considerable or where sew
eral farmers can club together and pur-
chase corn planter, best results will
be obtained by using machine made
for the purpose. Where no regular
corn planter can be secured, we would
plant corn with an ordinary grain drill.
These drills are usually made with the
drills seven inches apart. BY closing
five or six of the drill holes the rows
may be drilled in 80 inches or AZ inches
apart as desired. The mistake should
never be made of planting corn too
thin. Enough seed should be used on
the start to insure a stand. After the
corn is we'll up it may be thinned by

Successful Management Of Hogs.

The SOW when bred should be in
good flesh. Her food should consist
in part of bran, muscle and bone form
ing foods, and not corn alone. If she
can have the run Of pasture or wood
lot 80 much the better. Good water
should always be at hand. Sows with
good bone, long and deep bodies, and
good dispositions are to be preferred.
The boar that has some age and is
where he can take plenty of exercise
should have preference to the young
one or the one that is kept in close
pen.
February is good time for pigs to
be farrowed as they can be fed and
fattened during the summer month 8
when grass and green feed is plenty,
and less corn is required in warm
weather than in cold weather. The
price of hogs is usually good during the
latter part of summer and early fall.
The last hogs we sold were farrowed
May II and sold Nov. 10, and aver
aged 2l2 pounds per head. The SOW
was fed aparing!y until the pigs were a
week old, and we commenced to in
crease the feed, which consisted of
corn with slop of bran, shipstuff or rye
meal. They had the run of blue grass
pasture and woods. AS soon as the
pigs showed signs of eating we made a
small pen where they could go in and
out and eat by themselves. They were
given milk and feed as above. They
grew right along and as soon as new
corn was ready we commenced feeding
it, stalk and all. AS soon as the stalks
became too dry for them they were
given what ear corn they would eat up
clean, with some Stops of rye meal.
Hogs should have kind treatment, COM

That Glover Hay,

Every farmer knows the value Of
good clover hay, and he also knows
that when there is fine crop of clover
to be stored he feels pretty much as
does that "narvous" woman until it is
safely in NOW or rick. In the cutting
and curing of clover, good weather is
especially desirable, and this can't al.
ways be had on order, even if the field
Of clover is in prime condition for the
mower. The honest farmer csndidly
asserts that during rainy weather he
has never been able to store good clo-
yer hay that has been soaked with rain
in the windrow or cock.
1t is safe rule to begin cutting
when the clover is in full bloom and
the first heads are good brown. AS
soon as the dew dries off start the
mower and cut until noon, and about
8 O'Clock in the afternoon rake 1t into
windows. Then, if possible, put it all
into cocks before sunset. 1t may be
left in cock for two days, when it will
be ready to store away. II left in wind
rows over night, it should not be touch
ed until the dew has dried off, when it
should be gotten out Of the sun as
quickly as possible. If clover hay is

narrowing, and the corn which re-
mains will be benefited at the same
time. We would set the drill to plant
at AZ inches in preference to 35, and
then leave the plants little closer in
the row. The narrowing which should
be given to thin out the plants will
largely do away with the necessity of
cultivating both ways, except upon
land badly infested with weeds or
grass. On billy land the regular check
row arrangement does not work well,
and if we wish it rowed both ways the
ground must be marked one way be-
forehand The machine used plants
two rows at time, and the grain is
dropped in front of the wide wheels,
which firm the soil over the seed.
These wheel marks show where the
corn is planted, and cultivation should
always begin before the corn plants
show above ground. Planting corn
should not be delayed minute after
tho land is in proper condition. A de.
lay of half a day may in case of rain
mean delay of week. A machine
for planting corn has become almost a
necessity in modern agriculture.-L.

To Prevent Cows Sucking Them
selves,

saw description Of device in the
Farmer to prevent COW sucking her
self. 1t may be all right but it looks
too bungling. A few years ago we had
COW that sucked herself, and were
told that the habit was incurable. But,
being valuable COW, we hated to fat
and sell her, and we went to work on
plan OF our own. We took a strap
about two inches wide that would 90
around her the same as a surcingle on
horse; then took a common halter
and put it on her; took stick about
the size Of pitchfork handle, cut it 80
it would reach from the surcingle to
the halter; cut slot in the stick, then
ran the strap through the slot; bored a
small hole in the other end, and took a
piece Of small chain about six inches
long and fastened one end into the
halter; then took the stick, placed it
between her forelegs and fastened to
the chain. One end of the stick was
thus fastened to the surcingle and the
other to the halter, and it was impos-
sible for her to get her head around to
her teats, while at the same time she
was able to eat, lie down and do any
thing but suck herself. The COW re-
ferred to was completely cured. We
treated her four years ago, and we
have her yet and she is one of the best
COWS we have. She only wore the rig
one summer.-Zlck Clark, in Michigan

Providing Food for Cows,

For the production of milk or growth
of young animals the different kinds of
the clover family are much better than
timothy and should be raised as largely
as possible. Mixed with timothy they
add to its value as feed for cows giving
milk. AT the east we are confined to
the common red clovers and alsike, a
valuable variety, but at the west the
farmers are fortunate in being able to
grow alfalfa in perfection, which indeed
is most desirable acquisition to their
list Of fodder plants. Further South
they SOW bean and cowpea, both valu-
able plants, along with the clover, sug-
ar cane, ETC., contain large amount of
protein, an element so essential for use
along with the carbohydrates contained
80 largely in corn and at less extent
in timothy and straw of various kinds.
The farmer should endeavor to raise
all of these protein bearing plants
adapted to his location, as they will
save expense in purchasing in more
concentrated form, and are of so much
value in forming the best milk making
material, as well as for the growth of
young animate. Peas and oats, singly
or together, also make very good fod-
der and should be utilized for this pur-
pose. They can be either made into
hay or ripened for the grain. There
are also some other kinds of plants that
are adapted to the west and south that
are more or less valuable for fodder,
and their merits should be carefully
considered by farmers. Corn, the uni
versal plant, although mentioned last
on the list, is one of the largest under
cultivation in the United States and is
OF great value to this country. 1t is
adapted to great variety of soils and
climates, and may well be denominated
ithe universal fodder plant" With
suitable cultivation it is an immense
yielder and is suitable for feeding in
it's green or dry state, or better still, to
be put in the silo where it can be pre-
served in it's most suitable condition
for stock feeding at any season of the
year. There can be no mistake in
growing largely of this crop for either
the grain or the fodder, and it will add
very much to the stock keeping ca
pacity of the farm. AS it is largely
carbohydrate producing plant, it should
be used in connection with the clovers,
oats, peas or whatever material that
possesses q large amount of protein.
To make the most profitable ration,
the brans, gluten and cotton or linseed
meal, go we'll along with corn fodder or
grain and timothy hay.
All farmers cannot well produce q
sufficient amount Of grain for food, but
they should at least try to grow such
crops as will save the most outlay for
feeding stuffs and still make an econ
omical and profitable ration for milk or
the growth of young animals.
Now is the time to be doing this kind
of work. In some parts of the country
planting and sowing have been under
way for some time, but there may yet
be much done to produce the largest
amount OF feeding material for the
stock on the farm. Farmers should
aim to raise the kinds of crops best ad-
apted to their soil and location, proper
ly caring for them, and then make the
best possible use Of them they can in

AGRICULTURAL.
Not a Complete Success.

In spite OF the hopes raised by the
reported success of treatment with
hydrocysnic acid gas at Wye Agricul-
tural College, the terrible black currant
mite remains master OF the situation
After the young black currant bushes
had been subjected to the fumes of the
gas, before they were planted out, the
millions of mites which infested them
were all supposed to be dead, as they
were to all appearances when examin-
ed with the microscope. 1t seems,
however, that they were only put into
q gentle sleep, as they were found in
the full vigor of life month later.
The collapse of the experiment, which
had been announced as perfectly sue
cessful, ought to have been promptly
published, but Mr.. Cousins, who had
reported the delusive appearance of
success, was appointed by the govern
ment to post in Jamaica, as a scienti-
9ic expert, and he left the country with
out finding time to correct the false i'm
preston. The attempt to destroy the
mites by means of hydrocyanic acid
gas, however, ought not to be given up
without further trials, because, if the
gas can render the pests insensible it
is possible it might kill them II they
were exposed longer to it's influence
than they were in the Wye experiment.

stored with dew on it lot of bad mus
ty hay will be the result.
A farmer of large experience in
handling clover hay considered his
best success was in cutting when the
brown beads made q strong showing
and then getting the hay in the NOW
without cooking. OF course this plan
depends much upon the season.
If the hay must remain out couple
of days because Of cloudy weather, ex-
cellent results may be had by doubling
the heaps, as in this way mnch small
er amount will be exposed to the
dampness. 1t takes judgment and ex-
perience to know just when clover hay
is in the best condition to store. A
good test is to take wisp and twist 1t;
If it feels like wet rag, it is not 6t for
storing. Do not depend upon the test
ing of one wisp, but go over the feel d
and select the wisps from both the
inner and outer parts Of the cock, then
if it has that dry feeling that the ex-
perienced farmer knows, stores at once.
1t is never good plan to cut down q
large area, unless there are hands
enough to care for it at the proper
time. Good clover hay is always in
demand, especially 80 by the farm
stock, and a careful study of how to
cure it will pay, as herein lies much o.
the secret of ;good clover hay.-Rura
