Grading Hogs for Shipment.

Too much care cannot be exercised
in grading hogs for shipment. Uni
formity of size and quality is neces-
sary to secure the best prices; few
fabby, half-inished animals will
sometimes result in the entire load
selling for several cents per hundred
pounds less than it would if every ami
NAL were uniform. This in the aggre-
gate amounts to sum considerably
in excess of the value of the poorly
finished hogs in the load. 1t is better
to ship a load three or four short and
have an even lot than to send in the
full number and have the uniformity
broken by three or four culls. which
nearly always take position on the
outside of the bunch for the inspec.
ton of the buyer.--Midland Farmer.

shape, open on two sides for the free
passage of the wind, with a lamp in
each end of the frame for night use
and central revolving wheel which
carries number of mirrors to reflect
the light across the field it is desired
to protect. The aanges on the blades
are shaped to catch the wind on one
side only, and even slight air current
will set the wheel in motion. Any or
binary lamps or lanterns may be used,
those shown being partially protected
by metallic hoods, which also serve as
refectors, with openings only on the
sides towards the mirrors. When this
scarecrow is in use at night it throws
streams of light round and round the
field, while in the daytime sudden
flashes of light from the sun serve the
same purpose.-Louisville Courier

Buy from q Distance.

Those who endeavor to improve
their focks of poultry by selecting the
most prolific hens from which the
young stock will be produced next year
make no mistake, but there is much
carelessness on the part of some in
the selection of males. Neighboring
farmers frequently exchange eggs, in
order to add new blood to their fiocks,
but they fail to notice that by such
practice, continued during several
years, there is no out cross made.
Every farmer who desires to improve
his flocks should send to some distant
breeder, either for fowls or eggs, and
aim to secure pure-bred stock of some
kind. This should be done every year.
The result will be fewer cases of dis
eases, more prolific hens and better
quality Of poultry for market.-Prairie
Farmer.

THE cATALpA sPEcIosA.
Farmers Can Plant No Tree Which II
More Ornamental or Useful
Than This One.

Catalpa speciosa is soft wood, and
oil soft woods that am acquainted
with, with the exception of this one.
are of little value except for inside
work. What gives catalpa wood its re-
markable durability is not yet well un-
derstood, but experience has proven it
to be far more durable than oak, both
in the ground and above it. 1t grows
very rapidly from seed. Iplanted some
seed in piece of rich soil, and many
of the plants reached height of five
feet that season. The seedlings have
an immense tap root that goes deep
into the ground and makes the digging
OF the seedlings, if well grown, no easy
task. The wood of these young trees
has much the appearance of cotton
wood, and one would judge it to be Of
little value, but as the trees increase
in size the wood becomes more dense,
though never hard like oak. No matter
how dry it becomes it is never hard to
cut or drive nails into, and for this rea-
son it would make much better post
than oak, even If it did not last three
or four times as long rs oak.
This is the wood for farmers to grow.
If they would plant a billion trees this
year it would mean that the country
would soon be q billion dollars richer.
II you can buy the seedlings buy them.
They can be had for about three dollars
a thousand. If you cannot afford seed
lings buy an ounce of seed, sow it in
drills in rich soil, keep all weeds out,
and next spring set the trees where
they are to stand. Whether you buy
the seedlings or seed be sure that they
are Speciosa. Be doubly sure oft. If
you have rough spot or side hill
cover it with this valuable tree. Set
them about six by eight feet apart, and
when they reach post size cut out each
alternate tree, leaving them eight by
10 feet apart. The catalpa must have
room. 1t will not bear crowding after
it gets up 80 feet or so. The seed is
winged like maplel seed and should bs
covered about an inch deep. Drop them
about six inches apart. If the seed
does not all appear sound drop two in a
hill. IMPLANTED where they are to stand
permanently drop three in place, and
pull out all but one plant when foot
high. Both seed and seedlings can be
had at the leading nurseries.-Fred
Grundy, in Farm and Fireside.

Mrs. K. Schneider, 2409 Thirty-sev-

''After taking several remedies with
out result, 7 began last year to take
your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was
q complete wreck. Had palpitation of

said I was suffering with systemic
catarrh, and I believe that received

CORN FOR THE SILO.
About Glazing Then Is the Proper
Time to Cut Them.

My time for cutting the corn for the
silo is as near as may be when the
ears are just thinking about glazing.
When it is too old for me to eat, it is
old enough for my silo. I do not in
tend to run counter to the scientific
fellows by saying am not robbing my
silage of dry properties it might have
acquired if I had not interfered, but
I have imprisoned for my cows the
sweet juices and favors so much rel
ished in the managers, writes Penn
sylvanian to the National Stockman.
IT the corn lacks moisture in the lat
ter part of it's season, the lower blades
will dry and drop before the harden
ing process is operative at the ears.
Then that corn should be cut, for
what it may gain in dry matter above
it is losing in dry matter Below. If
one has small silo and a few acres,
and the filling is small matter of two
or three days, then he can bide his
time and cut when everything appears
to be just right. We have 16 acres
growing for the silos, and as we like
to fill slowly, our cutting will extend
over a period of possibly three weeks.
By filing slowly we consider we get
about 20 PEP cent. more in our silos
than by simply filing them and pass
ing on. Silage does not begin to do its
business settling for about a week,
and it is our rule to cut quite rapidly
for two or three days, then proceed
more slowly by stopping day and cut
ting day alternately. We use low
wagons and corn harvester some
times, but when an acre turns off 20
tons or more the harvester we have
doesn't succeed in getting 1t in very
far. We have man in the silo and in
struct him to keep the outsides some
what higher than the center. This
man is supposed, as Bob Seeds would
say, to keep a-goin', keep a-goin'."

wrinkles Tell Horses Age.

"The popular idea that the age OF
a horse can always be told by looking
at his teeth" said a veterinary sur.
geon, sis not entirely correct. After
the eighth year the horse has no more
new teeth. so that the tooth method
is useless for telling the age of horse
which is more than eight years old
As soon as the set of teeth is COM
plete, however, wrinkle begins to APP
pear on the upper edge of the lower
eyeIid, and new wrinkle is added
each year, SO that to get at the age
of horse more than eight years old
you must figure the teeth plus ths
wriQkiss."

value Of Salt for sheen.

The value of salt for sheep is shown
by an experiment in France, where
three lots of animals were fed on hay,
straw, potatoes and beans for 1874
days. One lot had no salt, one had
half an ounce of salt each day, and the
other had three-fourths of an ounce.
Those that had half an ounce gained
four and half pounds each more than
those which had no salt, and one and
pounds more than those
which had more than half an ounce.
The salteo sheep clipped one and three
quarters pounds more of wool and a
better fleece than those that had no
salt, showing better results in the
wool
