During the period when the brood sow

abundance of green food and in some

peas. oats, and little or no corn, and
when confined she should have plenty
of clover hay to take the place of the

the danger of the SOW eating the young,
the corn diet is too heavy. nearly al

Using Lime IutelIi1entlY.

The testimony on the part of farmers
to use lime without much regard to the
condition of the soil is wrong. Where
the soil is plainly acid in character as
shown by tests with blue litmus paper
the use Of lime in quantities sufficient
to reduce the acidity of the soil, is ad-
vocated, but its continued use year af-
ter year is not in the line of progressive
agriculture unless the crops are such
as to demand lime in greater or less
quantities during the season. OF course,
this can only be known by actual tests,
for while in one soil currants, barley,
oats, onions and other plants, which
are benefited by the application of lime
In a general way, will respond freely
to the lime treatment, in other soils
they would not be benefited, but might
be injured. The blue litmus paper test
referred to consists in placing small
piece Of blue litmus paper, obtainable
at any drug store, In crack in the
soil made by the blade of a spade and.
leaving it there for twenty-four hours;
if the soil is acid and needs lime the
paper will turn red. This should be
the general guide in the use of lime on
farms where a miscellaneous lot of
crops are grown.-Indianapoli News.

on the wires between the ring and the
horns the nose ring is simply held up

animal. Should the bull rush any 9TH
er animal or attempt to get through
any fence the pressure pulls the nose
ring upward, causing considerable pain.

teach the animal that any misbnhavior

A SURPRISED Youth,

A youthful war correspondent walked
into Col. MacArthur's tent one day, and
after some preliminary remarks asked:

Weights for Barn Use.

Frequently the farmer wishes to feed
a given weight of this, that or the other
stuff and has no scales at hand to
weigh it. If he has a quart measure
handy, he can use it to measure out
the required weight. The quart weight
of various feeds is as follows:
Cottonseed meal, 1.5 pounds; linseed
meal, old process, IL pounds; gluten
meal, 1t pounds; gluten feed, IL
pounds; wheat bran, coarse, .5 pound;
wheat middlings, coarse, 8 pound. and
fine, IL pounds; mixed wheat feed, 6
pound; cornmeal, 1.5 pounds; oats, IL
pounds; rye bran, 6 pound; H. o. dairy
feed, Z pound, and Victor corn feed, Z
pound per quart. These weights are
worked out by the Connecticut expert
ment station. With these equivalents
at hand the feedman may know where
he is at when he desires to feed by
weight.

In leafy shade of the elm trees
I sat in the park one day,
And fed the squirrels gray with nuts,
And watched their frisky play;
When tip-toeing over the gravel
There came close to my side
A tiny maid to see the fun
Her blue eyes opened wide.
Her name, she said, was Bonny Belle,
And she was five years old;
And then she took my peanut bag
And fed the bunnies bold.
How many sisters have you, BELIEF"
Her smile was sweet to see
She smoothed her apron, shook her head:
mo sisters-only me.
"But I've a papa at our house,
A parrot, Greenie Poll,
A baby brother who can't walk,
Two mammas and doll.''
"Two mammas," and I laughed outright;
"Why, you must be in fun,
You may have brothers half score
But mothers, only one."
"I'm not bit In fun," she said
And shook her bright curls loose,
'sMy mammals one, and then, of course,
There's dear old Mother Goose!'
