The Feeding Of Hoqs.


From Farmers Review: Last week
In travelling through our county was
struck by the way the farmers hogs
were roofing up lots and pastures At
Cedar Hill Farm with over sixty hogs
of all ages, there cannot be found a
spot that has been rooted up by the
hogs. When a hog is inclined to root
he shows very plainly that he lacks
some food element to make him
healthy and contented A hog must
have balanced ration just as much
as steer, COW or horse. / do not
think there is farm animal that pays
such quick and good returns as hog
that has his everyday food and care
well balanced. The brood SOW gives
US larger, healthier filters; the shoates
develop into fine hogs quicker, and
the whole transaction Is one of pleas
ure and satisfaction to the breeder and
feeder. One of the chief sources of
profit we derive from our COWS is in
the large amount of skim milk we
have for the hogs. To increase the
milk quantity we are paying our neigh
bors cents per gallon for their milk
that returns pounds of butter fat
per 100 pounds of milk, we keeping
the skim milk. With this milk, plen-
ty of rape pasture and gluten feed,
with limited amount of corn, we are
making pork at a price that leaves US
a good profit--"Buff jersey" Warren

What ALLIGATOR. Eat.

More than once curious things HAYS
been found In the stomach of a shark,
but never has such an extraordinary
collection been found as was discov.
cred recently in the stomach of an al
hgator. This alligator was killed in
the Soudan and was more than II
feet In length. In its stomach were
discovered eighty-fye stones, several
birds claws, two human finger nails
and three hoofs Of a donkey, to one OF
which piece of rope was attached.

Spraying Durinq Blooming Time.

From the Farmers Review: In the
Farmers Review for June Is it Is sug-
gested that spraying fruit trees when
in bloom might be good way TO thin
fruit In some states that would be a
criminal act, the law forbidding spray
ing during bloom. Intelligent horti-
culturists would hardly entertain the
proposition in any case. AS said on
page Az, -The pollen that is struck
with any sprays of common strength
is doomed practically. 1t may put out
a feeble effort toward termination"
That being the case, would there not
be a considerable percentage OF imper-
feet fruit in the thinned crop? Were
there nc other objection, no humane
fruit grower would be willing to do
that which would bring sure death to
one of his best friends, the honey bee.

ford no leverage, we use device Of
two timbers about six feet high, fas-
tened together in the form Of letter
A. To the top Of this A is attached
chain or wire rope some four or five
feet long and terminating in a hook.
The A leans against one side Of the
stump and the hook is attached to
large root on the other side. The

the A, and as this is raised up rue
stump Is tilted over. This device sim
ply affords greater leverage than when
the block is secured directly to the

Wood Ashes for Fruit Plantations.
Where wood ashes can be obtained
they will usually be found to be OF
considerable value as source OF pot
ash and phospnoric acid. They are
especially good on the strawberry
match if used in moderate quantities.
Th,-r value will Dope on number
of things. chief of which is the kind
of wood from which they were made.
Some trees have only five or six per
cent of potash in the ash, while trees
like the elm, are very rich in potash,
the ash being sometimes as high as rs
per cent in potash. One ton of wood
ashes should contain not less than 100
mounds of potash, which at five cents
ner pound is worth $500. while the
phosphorus it contains should be worth
in the neighborhood of another dollar
This makes a value of 5000 for the ton
of ashes. This, of course, applies to
unleached ashes. Leaching very ma
terially decreases the value of ashes,
as it removes a large proportion of the
notash. Ashes also contain lime, which
is of value on many soils.

Methods Of Removing stumps.

The clearing of new land is SCI
ence but little understood. For the
most part it is blindly pursued This
is perhaps caused by lack of general
information on the subject readily OBJ
tainable by the people that need 1T
most The United States Department
of Agriculture has taken up the mat
ter and has issued a bulletin on the
subject. From this bulletin we re-
produce a number of cuts.
The first cut shows a stump ready
for blasting, the dynamite cartridge
being in position shown. 1t may be
placed even lower than this. but it is
frequently very difficult to do SO. The

Manure Strawberries in Advance {
Planting.


Where possible strawberry ground
should be thoroughly fortified the
year before putting in the plants. This
should be done in the case of making
new beds. 1t is now time to be look
ing after that phase of strawberry
growing. Pillow the ground now in
which are to be set strawberry plants
next year. Fertilize it heavily and
plow in the manure. 1t will rot by
spring, when the ground should be
again pulverized. If the manure is
rotted by fall, the ground may be then
reworked to incorporate more thor
oughly the fiber in the manure. Where
old beds are to be fortified, the ma
nure can be scattered in the spaces
between the rows now, AMI then
spaded or cultivated in. 1t is possible
10 overdo the matter of fertility and
cause the production of foliage rather
than berries. There is, however. less
danger in doing this than of feeding
the plants too little.

Doesn't Want Mothers Name.

In spite OF the opposition of his
famous mother, Maurice Bernhard
has applied to the state council of
Paris for permission to change hts
name to Maurice Clairin. This is in
order to conform to the usage which
requires that children should bear
the name Of their father, not their
mother This step is said to have
been taken at the instigation of Nine.
Maurice Bernhard, who is about to
become a mother, and does not de-
sire to infiict the brand of illegitimacy
upon her offspring. M. Clairin, whom
Maurice now selects as his father,
was a painter, whose infatuation for
the divine Sarah" nearly caused q
triple tragedy twenty-five years ago.

A southerner who attended the TIL

other evening listened to Cleveland
and the other speakers with much In

president Mr.. Cleveland was travel

grasped the presidents hand saying:

be the effects of the blast.
Another method is to hollow out a
pace in the soil under the stump and
place the cartridge in this. While the
stump is not so thoroughly demolished
as in the other way, yet it is general
ly split enough to make its removal
possible.

Has Drilled Hard.

The local team has had a more Sc
we're drill this fall than for several
years past. This has been due TO tn"
fact that the boys who are trying
for the team are heavier and can
stand more work, and also to the
fact that so many of their hard
games come so early in the season.
For the past two weeks the team has
lined up against the Augustana col
lege first team and have learned to
make ground against heavier men,
and also stop heavy plays directed
at their line.
The team for the most part will be
made up of green men. But five of
last years team is now in school, and
although they are all trying for
places on the team, still some of them
are having hard time to keep the
places they won last year. OF the old
men, Capt. Morrison is the only man
sure of a position. Not only is he
sure of his place on account of the
fact that he is captain, but because
he has shown aggressiveness in his
play and a marked improvement over
his last years form.

FEAST OF YOM KIPPUR:
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

The hottest day of the Jewish re-
ligion will be observed from this ev-
ening at o'clock to Saturday even
ing at o'clock by fasting, prayers
and repentance.
According to Jewish authorities.
God DEGREES the destiny of man on
New Years and 10 days later, on the
day of atonement, the seal of divinity
is stamped on the fates of men. These
10 days are to be spent in repentance,
spiritual devotions and righteous
deeds, foremost of which is charity.
On the day of atonement the bible
commands every faithful jew to af-
fiict his soul by fasting, offering pray
ers and doing penance. God looks
upon the hearts, notes the good
works of his children and forgives
the true penitents.

The Rock Island and Geneseo high

Both teams have been playing with
this game particularly in view, the
locals because it is their first game
of the season with another high
school, and Geneseo because this is
her biggest game and to win this
means that she will probably win the
remainder of the games on her sched-
ule. The Geneseo team will be very
much heavier than the locals, al
though the locals are considerably
heavier than last year. 1t very sell
dom happens that so heavy team is
