age, determined to make a cross of
the Florida razorback on the Poland
China Thus a renewal of the vital
force, constitutional vigor and self
helpfulness-w which latter is as essen
tial to hog as to a human being
was to be brought about among the
swineherds of this immediate vicinity.
More than four years have elapsed
since the Florida shadows arrived at
Arbor Lodge The infusion of that
wild blood has proved beneficial ex-
pertinent. The vigor of the herd has
been improved. 1t is more prolific.
The young pigs get out and hustle for
food. The general health of the ami
mails is remarkably strong. After the
first cross with the untamed wind
splitters, or razor backs from the
Everglades of Florida, that progeny
was crossed on the Berkshire and that
upon the Duroc or Jersey Red, and
then again upon the large boned Berk-
shire, and the results are entirely sat
isfactorv.
. The infusion of the blood of the
bristling razor back and the trans
missal of his self-supporting energies
and enormous rustling ability into
the overpampered and too closely bred
swine of the United States, is ra-
tional improvement of the American
hog, as represented by those animals
which have been bred exclusively for
early maturity and quick fattening
qualities. The Conservative.

rivals The range is yet about SIG to Ii. so

Corn The demand has ruled very dull
during the week and prices are rather
easier at the close. Arrivals are small.
and it does not take much trade to keep
the market cleaned up. At the close No.

quoted at 15c, with lower grades down as
to quality and color.
FLoUR.-There has been only small
business done i'll flour the past week the
end of the year not being an inducement
for purchasing. The high cost of wheat
keeps values firm, but no one aDpears to
have any confidence in high prices. and
are satisfied to buy as little as their neces-
stiles Will allow. There is no speculation,
hand to mouth purchases being the gen.
eral method of operations. At the close
the tendency is to hold values steady but
little business has been done at the adj
vance asked, Sales of spring patents
range at about $40 to 4.4O as a full range,
but many brands are held above this
range, although no business is doing.
Winter patents are slow of sale, but val
ues are held about the same as for spring
patents. Winter clear and straight fiours
are quiet but firm at 1915 tod
LUMBER.-There is naturally a good
deal of interest being displayed i'm the
stories from Maine as to the losses of logs
recently sustained there by the freshets
Late advices say that the quantity of
logs that We're carried out by the recent
Hoods is now closely estimated at 4. 600 900
feet, valued at about 100000 and that a
careful count of all the logs saved and
held on the shores between Bangor and
Winterport shows the number thus Sc
cured to be only 52SS, or little more than
100000 feet OF the balance some have
been picked up at various points in Pc
nobscot bay and others have drifted out
to sea. AS the expense of towing back
would equal the value of the logs, the
whole 100000 feet will have to be put
down as loss.
Wool The market for the last week in
the year was most encouraging Seldom,
indeed, is there the slightest trace of ac.
tivity during Christmas week. This year,
however, is breaking the record in many
directions, and both on the day before
and the day after Christmas some. of the
largest buyers in the country were on the
market and making purchases The sales
for the week include liberal allowance
of secured woods. Buyers have been look
ing out for bargains as dealers are usually
ready to close out odd lots cheaper at the
end of the year. Any let thus offered,
however small, at very slight reduction,
has been quickly snapped up, and some
Tunes by very large fish. Most of the
sales of secured woods made this week
were b supers, A supers and territory

AGRICULTURAL.
SPREADING MANURE ON THE
SNOW.

An early and heavy snowfall, while
tending to diminish natural losses of
plant food, is apt to favor artificial
losses. 1t is apt to deter the farmer
from hauling out his manure supply.
Too many farmers hold to the mis-
taken notion that spreading manure
upon the snow is wasteful practice,
that much of it's value is lost by leach
ing and by running off of the surface
in the spring. They point to darken-
ed SHOWS, to discolored waters, and to
greener meadows at the base of the
hillsides as proof of these losses. 1t
is probably true that some loss occurs
in this way, but it is less than is usu-
ally supposed. Those who are fright
ened by this, however, should study
the barn losses, should know that, as
ordinarily kept, manure deteriorates
more in the barn CELLAR or i'll the ma
nure heap than it does in the field;
that it is better for manure to leach
on the soil it is meant to fertilize than
in proximity to the barn and family
well that it will ferment less out
doors than it will indoors; that, in
short experiment and experience alike
show that the housing of manure in
the winter for spring hauling is sell
dom better and generally worse than
spreading it upon the snow as fast as
it is made. Some will be lost if
spread more, however, will be lost if
kept at the barn, and the springs
work will be just so much the fur
Their behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine, institute speakers pro-
pound it, and farmers are yearly prac-
ticing it more extensively. 1t is the
modern notion and the right one.
The winter manuring of steep side
hill may not be advisable, bnt moder-
ale slopes or level pieces of not too
leachy land may be safely fortified
any day in the year except Sundays.

CULLING THE HERD.

There is nothing that assists breed
er more in maintaining good reputa-
ton for sending out good stuff than
close culling. No breeder has been
able to raise all good pigs, even from
the most distinguished sires and dams
that ever lived There will always
be some inferior to the others. These
should be consigned to the pork pens.
The breeder that does not do this will
have lots of trouble on his hands. He
will find it Improbable, because he
cannot sell to the same man more than
one time.
The man that builds up his business
by honest transactions that are salts
factory to the buyer is the one that
makes a profit and success out of
his business. If you get a customer
for an animal, make the deal so that
he will be your friend and continue
your customer We have plenty of
who practice this method of doing
business. To do business and meet
the requirement, you should have the
blood for which there is a demand
You should have good sows as well as
good boars if you want to produce IA
good class of pigs, You should give
close attention to feeding and hand
ling to properly develop them. 1t is
better to have one good SOW than
three poor or medium ones, for profit.

IN PORTO RICO.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 81
Gov. Hunts message to the legislature
of Porto Rico was read on Thursday
before a joint session of that body
held in the theatre of San Juan. The
building was crowded :. The message
congratulated the legislature upon
the fact that its work in 1901 has been
vindicated as wise, conservative and
progressive, and leading to the estab
lishment of free trade between Porto
Rico and the United States seven
months before the existing tariff du-
ties provided for the cessation of the
collection of such duties. In his mes
sage Gov. Hunt says: Tranquility
and contentment prevail in Porto
Rico; schools have been multiplied;
railroads are being constructed the
commerce of the island has been de-
veloped and exports have increased
agriculture has become more profit
able, roads are being built and debts
are being paid. Tolerance of opinion
has become more common, former an
tagonism being forgotten.

HEN MANURE AND ITS FARM
VALUE.

With eggs worth two and a half
argument to convince the farmer that
the hen is one of the most valuable
adjuncts of his business But not the
least valuable product of this fowl is
the fertilizer she makes. And yet
this feature of the case is often over
looked and little store set by anything
the hen does except the eggs she pro-
duces.
1t is not entirely possible to accur-
ately estimate the value of hen ma
nure. Attempts to do so are more or
less in the nature of an approximate
opinion. This is made more uncer-
tain by reason of the different care
different men take of the droppings
from their houses. Some throw them
out and allow them to become wet by
the storms. This greatly reduces the
value of of the fertilizer. Ihave seen
some boxes of hen manure thus treat
ed which were worth little more than
so much sawdust. And the result of
excessive drying is not much less de-
structive to the properties of hen ma
nure. If exposed to the direct rays
of the sun for days, or perhaps weeks,
the ammonia will largely escape,
bringing about serious loss of value.
But if properly cared for there is
no fertilizer on the farm which is
richer than that of the hen house
Compared with barnyard manure, ton
for ton, the hen manure is about four
and half times as valuable in nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid. AS
against the horse, hens yield fertil-
izer more than three times as valu-
able. While sheep manure is less than
half as valuable, we know that few
kinds of farm fertilizers surpass that
from sheep
1t pays, then, to save hen manure
with great care. 1t ought to be put
where rain, snow and sunshine cannot
reach it. 1t never should be mixed
with ashes, as some do, for the chemi-
Gals IN the TWO work destruction to
the manurial qualities Of the fertil-
i1or. When it is to be spread it may
be niyed with plaster or road dust to
nal b handle better With us, the
b g ~ to use hen manure is in
& oV T. corn. When the rows are
j 81 , shining to show, we scatter the
mi1trra, mixed with plaster, along
by the hills, following with the weed
er, which thoroughly mingles the ma
nure with the earth and prevents the
escape Of the heterogeneous and phos-
phoric properties Thus used there is
no manure which will give corn
finer start, 1t will show all through
the season and be manifest in the har-
vest e. l.. Vincent.

WHAT TO FEED.

The high price of feed and the rela-
lively low price of dairy products and
stock intended for the butcher makes
the feeding problem an important one
and farmers will have to exercise
great care lest the product will be less
than the cost of production. Examin-
ing the market quotations for grain
in the local press whe see that the
average quotation for bran is S14; oil
meal, $26; gluten meal, $27 barley,
80 cents oats, 30 and corn, As cents.
Assuming that feed is valuable in pro-
portion to the digestible matter it con-
tains, and taking corn meal as basis,
we find that 100 pounds of digestible
matter costs in the food stuffs men,
toned as follows: In corn, 81. 90 !;
bran, 81. 30; barley, 81. 80; oats, 81 50 !;
gluten meal, $1.69, and in oil meal,
$1.SS. In the experiment reported in
bulletin II of the Minnesota station it
appears that a pound of digestible
matter in ration of equal parts of
corn, barley and oats was just as TO
tent for milk production as was pound
of digestible matter in a mixture of
corn, barley, bran and gluten meal ;
and, in fact, the COWS receiving for
mer ration returned IA lbs. of milk
per lb. of digestible matter consumed,
while those receiving the latter ra-
ton yielded 2 lbs. In a general way
it is the better way, these times, to
make the grain mixture of equal parts
of corn shorts and bran. Oats is a
most excellent milk feed, but will be
found little more expensive than
bran.
At present price of grain and average
steers, the outlook for profit in beef
production is not as bright as could
be wished. A pound of digestible nu-
triment in a grain ration of corn, bar
ley and bran at the local prices quot
ed is l.3 cents. and in an experiment
reported in bulletin 81 it is shown
that under the most favorable circum-
stances, when steers were making an
average daily gain of 90 pounds, it
required six pounds of digestible mat
ter for pound of grain. Fortunate
ly same of the gain may be credited to
the coarse feed which is relatively
cheaper, and there is also credit due
to the feed in fertilizing constituents
that will be left on the farm by feed
ing it to stock. 1t is only the judi
cious feeding and keeping stock shell
tered that farmers will be enabled to
hold their own under the peculiar
market conditions existing at present.
In any event it will be poor policy to
make sacrifice by selling off stock,
for by another year prices will doubt
less be higher and feed more abundant.
Therefore carry all the stock possible
through the winter, keeping it on
maintenance ration if one cannot af-
ford to do better by it.-Farm, Stock,
and Home
