There are not more than four or five inches high at this time (July 21th), but they are looking lively and only waiting for rain to jump upward at q lively rate. Farmers who live on land that dries out quickly should make sure of some early crop for feed. l have never seen season that was so dry that neither a nearly nor late crop could be grown. Nine times in ten the carly crop is the safest, because it misses the summer drought that seems to have become almost inevitable. Many writers have ad- vised the sowing of COW peas as late as the middle of June. It is far safer to sow them early.

HERE AND THERE.

A good family strawberry patch may be planted as early in the fall as d good season can be found in the soil. Get the ground once thoroughly saturated and the plants may be kept growing through a long fall drought.
 Ii man does not make new ac- quaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. X man, sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair.-John- son.
 It seems reasonable to suppose that the demand for choice cattle will be so great during the coming win ter that it would be a good investment for farmers and stockmen to buy feed at the ruling prices and hold their cattle until they are in prime condition.
 Fall blowing, just like any other blowing, should be thoroughly donei which means we'll done. Any reason able amount of well-directed work de- voted to preparation will pay well at harvest time. Even with cultivated crops, like corn and cotton, the best part of the work should bS done be- fore and at planting.

Eggs in abundance, rapid growth in
 market poultry. and top prices for his products, are all necessary to the poultryman' prosperity; but the most important factor and one that must he considered first, last and all the time, is the cost price. There is DO profit ill eggs at twenty-five cents per dozen if the eggs have cost twen- ty-siX cents. There is profit in eggs at twelve and half cent per dczen if the cost has been but ten cents per dozen. Just SO with poultry, if tho cost of production has been too much, ny just that much is the profit re-
 duced. And if the product, either eggs, or poultry has cost more than the very feast for which it could have been produced it has cost too much. Care should be exercised in the use of high-priced foods, expensive houses and apparatus, when cheaper foods, buildings and appliances will do just as well; also in the construction of the buildings, for when so awkardly arranged that too much time is con- sumed in caring fol the fowls, this is 9n added expense.

WHY NOT STOP THE LEAKS ?
sourc.s of Loss to southern Farmers Which Little Thought anu
 Effort Might stop.

We recently had a leak in our wa fer works. We were very anxious to have it repaired, because 1t would likely increase our monthly water bill.
 TroveIinp as we have recently, over t,vo thousand miles, among the farm CTS of the south. we have been greatly imnressed with the leaks in farm methods. and can not help wondering why our farmers do not stop them. They certainly greatly increase the bill of expenses, or what is much the same, decrease the income.
 The hay leak seems to be the most general leak upon the farm. Scarcely a farmer seems to fully appreciate the value of the hay crops growing upon his farm. Grasses of many kinds are permitted to grow to waste. die and be burned up, as if it had no market value.
 Many of these very farmers are buying western hay to feed on. Many of their neighbors are buying western hay to feed their sawmill steers or mules or their livery stable horses up- on.
 We saw one man who was buying hay at S22 per ton, and yet pulling fodder and losing all the hay he might have made from his cornstalkS. We found one man who had over six hundred tons of corn stalks. enough to make over six hundred tons of first class hay-but this man could not make up his mind to buy a shredder to make them into hay, although he had an engine ready to pull it.
 Why not stop this S1,200 leak?
 Farmers are paying high prices for bagging and ties, when they do not need either.
 Why not stop this leak?
 Farmers are buying thousands of tons of commercial fertilizers, when good, deep blowing and rapid harrow ing would do their lands permanent good and make larger crops than the fertilizers do.
 Why not stop this leak?'
 Farmers are cutting rocks and stumps at great expense and loss. They could easily remove both of these.
 Very many of them are still suffer- ing their lands to wash away. Deep blowing and subsoling would stop this leak.
 Many farmers are still growing scrub COWS, when the same grass would grow Shorthorns and Here lords that would bring in four times the money. Why moi get a Hereford or Shorthorn bull and stop this leak?
 Many farmers have what they call pastures, but bushes, briars. worthless weeds and rocks occupy nearly all the fields.
 Real good grass can hardly get hold. Why not clenr out everything except the grass and have a pasture?
 Stop these leaks.

things considered, is the oneapest. nor is it always true that the best is the che apest.
 Food that is poor in quality is gen. erGliy dear at ony price. Yet high priced food ought always to be used under protest, as it were, and only until something equally as good and lower i'll price car be found to use as a substitute. There are times when 1t is necessary to buy what you want and pay the price asked. One who ;s familiar with the markets and with the feeding value of available food is often able to substitute a low-prced commodity for a more expensive one without detrimebt to the fowls and with gain to himself.-Geneva March, in Epitomist.

THE HOG FOR THE PACKER.
The Bacon Hog the Most Desirable and the Most Profitable
 For the Raiser.

Mir. Luciua r. Swift. of Chicago, has lengthy and instructive article in the Western SNineherd on The Hog
 the Packers Wants" We glean from
 the article that the fayorite weights are 175 to 250 pounds. Such hogs yield d larger percentage of high
 priced meats, and are not too fat. When lard is scarce and high the
 heavier and fatter the better There is always a good demand for hogs
 weighing from TO to 190. if they are
 otherwise suitable for making the
 best bacon Hogs fed on corn or
 wheat are most desirable. Hogs fed
 on soft food. acorns and nuts, make
 oily and undesirable bacon. Packers
 because they yield the largest per centage of hiph-prieed meat. York
 slires and Tamworths are better for curing into high-prieed bacon. such
 as in popular in Canada and England.
 Butchers prefer white hogs because
 they can be dressed so as to make a
 mere attractive show, but packers care nothing for the color of the hair. There is sufficient demand for the "h&con hog but he can not be made from our American breeds by 1 any system of feeding. Light bacon
 is not necessarily the best bacon. If American farmers would produce or
 grow a bacon type of hog, in quanti-
 ties sufficient and ill supply regular,
 then packers could pay premium for
 such hogs and make bacon for the British market. No packer can un- dertake to supply special grade of meat unless he is assured of suffi- cient supply of raw materal. Unless there are enough bacon hogs availa-
 bic il k not reasonable to expect them to command the prices they
 otherwise would. The man who lat. tens his hogs as part of his cattle feeding business. using them to util- ize the droppings, can not make a bacon hog at all. Corn as an exclu- siye feed will not make a bacon hog. | Peas, barlY, oats, wheat, bran and shorts are feeds that develop lean meat, and are necessary to develop
 the bacon hog. Mr. Swift gives the following advice to farmers from the packers standpoint:
 "I advise farmers to market young
 CT hogs,-hogs that are mature 1t about six months ot age, and weigh from lI5 to 25C pounds. A painstall- ing. successful farmer, who aims 10
 mature and market his hogs at six
 months, weighing 220 to 230 pounds, says experience has taught him that with corn worth 25 cents per bushel
 the first 100 pounds of hog cost him $2. the second $2.15, the third $3.5O, and the last hundred pounds of 40O-
 pound hog, S4.25. This is in view of the fact that as a rule the l15 to 200 pound hogs are in best demand and consequently sell at best prices, add
 ed to the tied-up capital and greater
 danger from disease, by holding hogs
 to make them heavier. makes a DOW
 erful argument for early maturity.

can be spared for light top dressing 1t will pay we'll in making sod that will choke out the weeds. We expect
 too much of our pastures, and help them too little. If the bare spots were given some seed in bad years. and some fertilizers were added after d
 light scratching of the surface, weeds would be kept under control, more grass would be gotten, and the break ing-plow need not Ee used 90 frequent- ly on land that needs the protection of a sod all the time. If we would look upon pasture grasses as crop, and give them attention when most needed, our labor would be rewarded fully as well as it is when applied to most titled crops.-Farm and Preside.

Poultry for Profit.

Every poultry raiser should be able to tell at any time, how many fowls he has, how many eggs he is getting, how many chicks he has matched, and the number of eggs required to hatch them, how many fowls or chicks he loses by death or otherwise. In short a poultry raiser should have a rec ord of each and every days transac- tion for all the fowls on the premises.

PROVING TOO MUCH.

A fair sample of the way the canteen
organs overdo the business ap-
peared in the New York Commercial
Advertiser the other day. It told
about a recent visit of Secretary Root
to Fort Sheridan, and the Advertiser
got off the following:
''It was noted by Secretary Root
and his party, as well as by Col. Van
Horne and his staff, that when the
regiment was drawn up for review it
seemed to be remarkably fine look
ing lot OF men and one wondered how
it was that such shocking tales of it's
drunken debauches got abroad, to the
scandal Of the whole service. 1t
turned out, so the Chicago Evening
Post says, that the officers of the regi-
ment, knowing that Secretary Root
was coming, were determined to have
their men as fit as possible and held
back the monthly pay for three
weeks. With no money there could
be no drunkenness"
We have no reason to believe that
there is a great amount of truth in
this statement, although Col. Van
Horne refused to either affirm or deny
the story. In any case, the story
proves too much for the canteen apol
ogist.
Even the canteen organ has to
admit that the way to have a fine
looking lot of men on parade is to fix
it SO that they can get no liquor. We
presume that no temperance man will
dispute that.
If the soldiers are such a guzzing lot
that the only way to keep them sober
is to keep them moneyless, then the
canteenists will never be able to con-
vince level headed Americans that
the way to secure soldierly sobriety,
is to make beer easy of purchase for
cash Or en- tick.-The Defender.
