TRUE WORDS, THESE.
Farming Is Becoming More of Pro- fession That Is Worth Studying
 from Day to Day.

It is almost impossible to starve on a good farm, but it is not difficult to get very seedy and hungry in almost any other profession or line of husi- ness. That is possibly the explana- tion of the years and ages that have passed with no general attempt on the part of farmers to give their sons professional training in the profes- sion of farming. In other lines neg lect of the rudimentary principles of the business would have resulted in failure swift and sure, but the good old farms have carried along hun dreds of thousands of shiftless, un- appreciative men who seem to care to know nothing of the business ex- cept to blow SOW, and reap. That class of farmers is doomed. Slowly but surely the more desirable lands of this great and fertile country will pass into the hands of men who have learned at the great agricul- tural colleges to appreciate their value and possibilities of great prof it's from such lands when properly handled. This is just and necessary. Our population is increasing rapidly and the day will come when the ccun- try cannot afford to have its produc- tive lands occupied by farmers who produce no more than one-third the material for food and clothing that such land should bring forth. The possibilities in life for the profession al farmer are great and the field broader than any other, says an ex- change.

The poorest stand was from 1a to two feet high, but most of it was three feet or better. We SOW three bushels to the acre, half and half by measure, thoroughly mixed on the barn floor, and put in at one sowing. We set the drill down to suit the peas, and the oats seem to have no trouble in get ting up in time to support them. With large acreage, or other crops need ing attention at about the same time, we begin to cut when there are peas "big enough to eat" The oats are mostly well headed out by that time, but we are governed by the condition of the clover" (peas) part of the com bination.
 We generally let the hay lie undis- turbed in the swath for about 24 hours after cutting, then it is tedded and the next day we drive over it with the loader, which licks it up on the wag- on from the swath. In all, we hayed over 16 acres, about four acres being cut and fed green to the cows from day to day after it got foot or more high. From the earliest cutting there was quite second growth by the time we were through with the lot (two acres). The first five acres we cut for hay was rained on the night after cutting, and or four days thereafter we were kept from it by~intermittent rain. It finally went into the barn in much better shape than timothy and clover-especially the iatter-would under the same circumstances. The peas generally had pretty good color, though the oats were decidedly strawy. Later we had about one acre rained on intermittently for two days, after it was ready for tedding This was practically spoiled, of course, but we hauled five loads to the barnyard and made stack for the cattle to work at; leaving another small load of scat terings ton Il acres) that we did not take time to rake up. In all we hauled AZ loads of oat and pea hay from about 16h acres. We weighed the first load. rather small one, and from this we estimated that the crop averaged over three tons to the acre.-Eugene E.. Stevens, in Ohio Farmer.

ROOTS FOR THE HOGS.
They Have a Feeding Value High0y Than Is Represented by Their
 Chemical Analyses.

We have frequently made the state ment that roots have a feeding value much higher than is represented by their chemical analyses. We have claimed that the effect on the ani- maPs system has been most beneficial, and that small quantity of roots fed in nearly every case would cause freer assimilation of other foods, says the Homestead.
 There has just come to hand re- port from the Ontario experiment sta- tion, in which an interesting experi- ment has been conducted with hogs, the results of which tally very close- y with our position on the subject. One lot of hogs fed barley and mid dllngs for a period of seven months gave daily gain of two-ffths of. a pound, while another lot, fed with a similar quantity of the same grain, supplemented by roots, gave gain of tour-fifths of pound per day. In this instance it was found that 319 pounds of roots were equivalent to 100 pounds of meal. This report claims that this is an exceedingly high value for roots and yet such were the facts indicated by the experiment.
 In another instance, corn and mid dlings were fed, in which case the hogs gave six-tenths of pound daily gain, while the gain was seYen-tenths of a pound when this meal was supple mented by roots. In this case it was found that 564 pounds of roots equaled 100 pounds of the meal in feeding value.
 We believe that there would be more healthy hogs in the country if roots were grown to larger extent and made to take the place of some of our heavy meals in the hog ration. We believe in many instances that hogs are fairly burned up with heavy meals, and that much economy might be prac- ticed by supplementing some cheap, succulent food, such as mangels, car rots or turnips. As to the effect of roots on the character of the increase in this case, the report says: Those which were fed roots were much more growthy and thrifty loolzing g than the others and showed less tendency to be-. come fat. It is possible therefore, that the roots had a beneficial effect upon the digestive organs of the ani- mals, causing them to digest their food better than the others, for there is little doubt that hogs closely confined Tn pens are likely to have indigestion"

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
Hens Need Variety of Feeds or They Cannot Do Their Best as
 Profitable Layers.

Corn, wheat, oats, barley and mil let seed are good poultry feeds; some do not believe in corn, but their reasons are mostly like the small boys be cause The agricultural experiment stations tell us that corn is one of the very best feeds for poultry but they do not tell us to feed it exclusively. The natural makeup of feed is a va riety; little of this and that and con- stant exercise in procuring it. Some tell us to make them scratch for their feed; they would rather do it than not; besides it does away with gorg- ing and encouraging lazy disposition.
 Corn exclusively, or in fact wheat or millet, is too heavy and too rich; something to make bulk must be add ed. l know of nothing better than wheat bran to balance up heavy rich feed. It is so common though, that it is hardly popular, Bran makes bulk; not only bulk, but it clears the pas sages and keeps the digestive organs in condition. Bran alone would be too light for an exclusive food be- sides, it would not be in line with na- ture to feed nothing else.
 The craw is grinding mill and we must keep it at work. The different grains would not be a perfect food alone; grass, insects and dozens of other things we hardly think of, go to- wards completing the natural wants. Fowls on free range usually find these extra nicknacks, but penned fowls and fowls in winter must have their equiv alent in some form, or they cannot do their very best.-Midland Farmer.

FLOAT IN POSITION.

I have been buying galvanized iron floats until l am tired. They rust out in a short time seldom lasting more than two years and costing five times as much as the one Illustrated. l sim- ply buy stone jug, preferably one- gallon jug, and plug it carefully, SO that it is alright. I fasten this by means of wire chain to the valve at the bottom of the tank. This will last indefinitely and will neither rust nor waterlog, as is the case with iron or wood.-D B.

OATS AND FIELD PEAS.
Ohio Farmer Explains Why He Pre- fers This Combination to
 Timothy and Clover.

After some years of repeated disap- pointment in trying to get paying crops of timothy and clover on our light sandy loam, we began in 1899 to try oats and field peas, cutting some to feed green into the cows and having the rest. The result is that we have since made them our regular hay crop, abandoning timothy entirely but still whacking away at the clover because we hate to give it up. A fine stand of clover secured last year, sown in July with bucl1wheat, nearly all winter killed, and the ground six acres) went to swell our oat and pea acreage this spring to over 20 acres.
 Here is photo showing the growth much of the oats and peas made the man shown being five feet nine inches.

BREAKING IT GENTLY.
The Bearer of Sad News Delivered His Message in a Unique
 Manner.

After the ship which had come from New Zealand was tied up at the wharf, Larry O'Brien was told off by his ship mates to call upon Mrs. Mccarthy to break the news of the death of her hus- band, which had occurred on shi9board the preceding summer. The Brooklyn Eagle tells how he did it:
 "Good morning, Mrs. McCarthy!" said he. "Is Denny in?'
 "Denny?" said the surprised woman. "My Denny? No, he's not in. Is the ship here?"
 Sure, it is. And Denny's not got home yet? That's quare-unless some thing has happened to him.
 'What would happen to him?" Mrs. Mccarthy asked, anXiously.
 ''There's plently of things can hap pen a man," said Larry delicately. "He might have got hurted, or he might have took sick with the fever. But there's one comfort, as Father McGin- nih said once, and that is that time heals iv'ry grief"
 What do you mane, MT. O'Brien?"
 "I mane that if anything happened to Denny you wouldn't feel as bad about it few months after it hap pened as you would right at the time, would you?"
 q suppose not" said Mrs. Mccarthy. ''I mind whin lost me first husband I thought I'd never get oveg it. But, as you say, in few months it was aisier to bear"
 "Then, Mrs. Mccarthy, you'll be glad to know that it's now four months nearly fve-since Denny died. Sure, it can't grieve you now as much as it would if you'd known it at the time"

RELIABLE CROP RECORD.

tinuing to keep the date each crop oc- cupies the land, so that in after years It will be the work of but a moment, by looking at this plan, to tell exactly what crops have occupied a certain held for several seasons past, thus en- abling one the better to keep up reg ular rotation without trusting to mem ory, and with no possible chance of a mistake, as well as determining what elements of plant food and how much the soil will likely need for the next crop.-H. B. Mitchell, in Farm and Home.

Importance of Good Seed.

More than ever before farmers are realizing that paying crops can only be raised from vigorous, plump and well preserved seed. The old idea that any seed which would germinate will answer was a delusion, and the cause of many improbable crops. When buy ing seed, insist that your scotsman guarantee it will germinate promptly, as this will indicate seed from vigor- ous, healthy plants, Then, too, the seed must be large and plump They will have enough plant food to start the young plant early, getting it out of the way of late drouths and early frosts. If you use seed produced on your own farm discard all but the very best, test it for vitality, and be satis- fled with nothing which has the least indication of lack of vigor.-American Apriculturist
