Hardly a day passes without the an

the ripe old age of 100 years, says
the Kansas City World. How do they
do It? 1t Is q fair question. Most
of us grow and grumble at the things
that happen to us In this life. but
are mighty careful to hang on to 1t as
long as possible. Everybody would
like to know how to live a century.
There Is no royal road to the century

rather than design. II they knew more
about the actual effect Of such abuses
and how they lop years off human lives
there isn't doubt that there would
be more sane living. Most Of our cen

them have made study of living.
Most Of them were poor and outside
Of the pale Of high living temptations.

The Habit OF Growth.

The advice of our best hog ralsers
is to keep the pig growing from the
very start. This applies to all other
farm animals. There seems TO be
habit of growth" that can be formed
or neglected. If pig Is allowed to
stop growing he seems never to re-
acquire the ability to grow rapidly
The wise hog raiser will see that his
pigs are getting enough milk while
they are with the SOW, and afterwards
he will see that they get full supply
OF food as often in the day as they
want 1t. The critical time is when
the pigs change from their mothers
milk to grain and grass food. II the
pigs are made to earn their living on
the pasture following steers there Is
a tendency to feed them little, so that
they will work harder in picking up
the corn the steers have not used.
This may be carried so far as to cause
check in the growth of the pigs.
II requires skill to insure the pigg
enough feed to prevent them being
stunted and yet not SO much that they
will cease to work.

Applying Manure Green.

John Parton, being asked the CUES.
ton whether 1t was better to apply
manure green or well-rotted, replied:
There Is less loss In putting manure
on land green than in rotting 1t before
II is applied. Besides this, there Is
special advantage that in putting the
manure on in the winter time 1t Is
done at less expense. In rotting the
manure under the most favorable con.
ditions chemists tell us thar II loses
80 per cent. However. when 1t Is on
the Land in the green condition and
the fermentation allowed to take place
in the soil, as soon as any plant food
is liberated It Is in the place where it
is most readily taken up. Besides
this, the decay of manure in ferment
ing has beneficial effect In warming
up the soil. Experiments carefully
conducted at Guelph, as to applying
manure fresh and rotted, proved that
the ordinary way of leaving manure
exposed to the weather was wasteful;
when protected from rain it was still
subject to loss, and when put on fresh
the best results were obtained.
