There Is a type Of ultra tender heart
edness and sympathy for dumb ami
mails exhibited by some people which
becomes a good deal Of a nuisance.
They seem to entirely overlook the fact
that in order that they may have meat
to eat somebody must take the life OF
the animal. They go daft over dogs
and are utterly Indifferent to the hor-
rors of hydrophobia and all the long
list OF meannesses Of which dogs are
capable. They call the dehorning Of
cattle, the cutting off Of the lambs tail,
the surgical treatment Of male animals
Of all sorts, cruelty to dumb animals
and come at you with the argument
that If these several processes and op-
erations are right then the Lord made
a mistake when he created these ami
mails. It is very tiresome to come
across this sort Of humanitarian. Man
was placed on the earth to subdue it
In this work Of subjugation he may dc
much by kindness and should so de-
wherever possible, but some things
must be subdued by force and the use
Of seemingly harsh methods, and it il
utter folly to ignore this fact. Not ever
the ways OF the Almighty are all gen
tie, nearly all the sanitary, renovatini
and rebuilding processes Of nature be
ing to a greater or lesser extent hars
and seemingly cruel.

SORGHUM AS FORAGE.

The use Of sorghum as a forage crop
is becoming more and more general
each year. Men who have tried it
like it and say that no forage raised
on the farm is so eagerly eaten by
stock Of all kinds. and it seems to
make no difference If it does become a
little widowed and musty; the stock
will eat It up clean. The best success
with this crop is had by sowing the
last of May, drilled or broadcast, and
sowing thiclzly, cutting it just as late
as possible in the fall. so that the hard
frosts will not spoil it, then punching
it into cocks in the field Of 500 or 600
pounds each and letting it remain
there until wanted in the winter In
this way it does not cure as does hay,
but retains its juices and succulent
qualities. 1t is greatly esteemed as a
substitute for silage.

The question Of home Improvement
is always a live one, and now that the

THE BoRFR THE woRsT PEST.

THE AOAAnAh TAN OltSA AA1As
Our almost daily experience with
large apple orchard leads us to the
conclusion that Of all the pests which
beset the apple tree none is so much
to be feared as the work of the borer
The trouble is that unless a most vigil
liant and expert watch is kept upon
the trees the damage is all done before
it is in any way manifest to the casual
observer. The insidious work Of this
pest is charged up to climate, cold,
heat, sunscald, blight, when all the
while nothing is the matter save that
a white grub half nm inch long is CIR
ding the tree under the bark just
above the roots and surely killing it
If young tree blossoms full and
sets a heavy crop Of fruit, you may
be almost certain that there is borel
working on it.

the crop two CIVILIZATIONS. There will
be nubbins on the stalks so planted,
the stalks win be tall and slim and
may be cut, bound and shocked with a
corn harvester, and if properly put up
an acre Of good corn land will thus fur
nish four tons or more of the best fod

will be eaten by the stock. Where the
land can be spared this is even a better
way than to cut up the field corn, as il
is so much nicer to handle. Try it FOL

CUT KID VI IAAE AAANAAD NA@--Ne
A friend who has about eighty acres
in crops to care for and who usually
keeps one hired man to assist him is
getting along without help this season
and doing pretty well at it too. He
keeps two teams Of horses, and he
went and bought gang plow which
requires the two teams. He got q
twenty-five foot drag and rugged lit
tie cart behind it, so that he rides all
day. He will use a hay loader in the
field and hay fork at the barn. His
wife has agreed to milk the two cows
and look after the garden and drive
the horse on the pulley when he fllls
the barn with hay in consideration of
not having a hired man in the home to
provide for and, while he may not
have wholly solved the problem this
year, he says that he will so shape his
work another season as to be inde
pendent of hired help even though he
does not do quite so big a business.

We have run up against lot of poor

from one of the most reliable seed
houses in the country, but for some
unknown reason not over 80 per cent
Of the corn, beans, radishes. lettuce,
beets, peas, lima beans and parsnips
had vitality enough to terminate. This

opening up and retaining the soil is
a hard proposition compared with max

the surest way to secure a living while

be very proftably raised all through

even though there be little or no corn
raised to feed them. Clover, peas, po'
tatoes and barley make the prlmest

pigs should be as many cows as wintei

This little beast is by all odds the big
