cHEApLY MADE PORK.

We can commend the following as a
new and very practical way in which
to care for lot of shotes from the mid
die of August to the middle OF October,
q method whereby the health of the
pigs will be promoted and a gain in
growth secured more cheaply than by
any other method. If you have 80
young pigs, plant three acres of ever
green sweet corn in May on good
piece of land. At the time of the last
blowing SOW one and half pounds of
Dwarf Essex rape per acre among the
corn. As soon as the corn begins to
harden up, which will be from the LIST
to the 18th of August, fence off half an
acre and turn the hogs in, giving them
fresh strip from time to time as they
need it. See that the pigs have enough
water and then let them alone They
will do the rest and make YOU the
cheapest pork ever produced on your
farm. They will further splendidly fer
tilize the land for succeeding crop
This plan is well worth trying by every
man who raises hogs, of course reduc-
ing or increasing the acreage to CORE
spond with the number of hogs in his
herd.

READING AND THINKING.

There is absolutely no excuse for a
farmer being an ignoramus today.
There is every incentive and every op-
portunity for him to become well in
formed as to his profession. The best
of literature touching all phases of his
business, short courses at our splendid
agricultural schools the farmers insti-
tutes, cheap books on agricultural top
les and the bulletins of the experiment
stations are each and AL easily availa-
BILE and entirely within the reach of
any enterprislng farmer The use of
modern farm machinery gives the man
who operates it plenty of time and op-
portunity to at least work his gray
matter and think, and some sorts of
his work--the operation of the sulky
plow, the corn plow after the corn is
well up and tue mower on smooth
meadows-will permit him to pull a
book or paper out Of his pocket and
read bit as lie works. 1t may be put
down for a fact that the farmer who
will take Is minutes each day to read
practical matter along the lines of his
work will not only make more money,
but take pride and feel an ambition
in his work before unknown.

NORTHERN TIMBER LANDS.

The cut off timber lands of northern
Wisconsin and Minnesota would prove
to be of especial value for the raising
Of all small fruits, especially straw
berries. 1t is the man who can put the
latest grown berries on the market
rather than the earliest who can make
money out Of his berries. The latitude
of these lands and their reliable rain
fall specially fit them to produce a
late berry. Raspberries and black
berries, which are native to that
country, would also do we'll there. Then
the best potatoes on earth can be there
grown, while timothy and the clovers
seem to grow spontaneously wherever
the land is cleared. While the winters
are long, there is plenty Of winter work
In the woods and through much of the
country a home market for all man
can produce on his farm. 1t is a
country worth looking up If one is seek
ing home.

WHAT TIRES A WOMAN.

One of the things which tire out the
farm wife is the irregularity of the
men folks in coming to their meals.
Next to having to burn green wood or
bring all the water needed for the
house from the stock well five rods
from the kitchen door, this slipshod
way of coming into meals at any time
is the most wearing on the goodwife.
When a Waterbury watch can be got
for 81 and as there is time to wind it
three times during forenoon If neces-
sary, any man should be washed and
ready to sit down to dinner at 1880 If
that is the hour fixed. No man should
expect his wife to meet him with a
smile when he is uselessly and care
lessly late to his meals.

CUssEDNEss AND THD cow.

For a fact there have been more in
genious rascality and cussedness devel-
oped in connection with the single item
of cows milk and its products than in
any other thing produced on farm.
The dairyman early learned to water
and skim It. the milkman who peddled
it to aduterate it with formaldehyde
and silicylic acid to keep it from
souring, the butter maker to work
casein and water into the butter. and
then the steer man and the hog man
and the cottonseed oil man each took a
hand to fraudulently beat old bossy
out of her vested rights, while only a
few commission men can handle the
butter and keep the Ten Command
ments. Think Of well bred COW, one
of the Creators best gifts to man. hay
ing as competitors the pump, the steer,
the hog, southern oil mills and northern
drug stores! The wonder is that she is
willing to do business at all.

INCURAToRs.

We are asked to say something about
incubators and the Matching of chick
ems by machinery. The majority of
the people whom we know to have
tried this method have been unsuccess-
ful-their own fault, no doubt. The
few-the patient and very careful ones
have been successful. 1t seems that
the trouble is not by any means over
when the chicks are safely Matched,
special care being necessary to carry
them safely through the first four
weeks of chickenhood. One lady friend
raised last year $50 nice white Brahmas
with minimum of loss with her in
cubator, this being the best work we
have noted. Another from 400 eggs
Matched out $50 chicks and lost them
all save one before they were ten days
old. The discussions on the use of the
incubator at several farmers Institutes
which the writer has attended this
winter have been unfavorable to the
use of the incubator for the average.
farmer, their use requiring more skill,
care and attention than the, average
farmer or his wife would or could give
to them. When the goodwife has her
way and buys an incubator against her
goodman's wishes, she has done some
thing which Is almost sure to give him
a chance to say, Il told you So

"LooK OUT For THE cARs.y

There are altogether too many farm
ers killed each year in the effort to
beat an express train at a railway
crossing. Five farmers are dead and
buried, five widows are mourning the
loss of good husbands, and five attor-
neys are trying to collect damages in
the territory near where the writer
lives, each man killed by reason of the
fact that he thought that his team was
faster than mogul locomotive. While
widow may get matter of $1,000 or
$4,000 damages and thus be able to pay
off the mortgage on the farm, there is
also the liability that she will get an
other husband. 1t is pretty good sense
to look both ways for Sunday when
approaching a railway crossing and
concede the train the right of way.
