Points on Pig Management.

1t is true that the boar is very
nearly half the herd, said ]. C. Cana
day. If you have a poor male, you
will have poor herd. You can do no
good with a good SOW unless you
have good boar. l think we should
have good strong sows. do not
think it is best to breed sows too
young; they should be from fourteen
to eighteen months of age before they
bring forth pigs. The fall pig is the
one that makes good one for far
rowing at eighteen months of age.
BY taking good care of them in the
fall they make good brood sows.
At farrowing time 1 like to have
them in good condition. 1t is diff
cult to get them in good condition if
they are not so at narrowing time. II
in good condition at narrowing time
they will have better pigs than if they
are in poor condition. Let the SOW
increase her feed from that time. Com
mence feeding her lightly at first and
increase the feed as the pigs get
older.
l fed bran. oats and corn ground
together. l make it into thick slop
and sometimes cook it. l prefer
cooked feed, as l believe that is the
best. For the young pigs l use bran
ship stuff and corn. The corn is half
of the slop, and 1 make it pretty
thick. l like to have my pigs come
early in the fall, as the early fall
and spring pigs pay best. The late
winter pig is very hard to make much
IN Y.ti0 1ot. IN
keep him warm and dry. Some one
has said that the spring pig makes
the best brood SOW, and that is so as
general rule for the reason that the
fall pig is not taken care of as she
should be. But If the fall pig grows
right and has the right kind of food
and care it will make the best brood
SOW.

Chestnut Growing in France.


The business of growing chestnuts
and preparing them for the market is
very extensively carried on in France,
writes John C. Covert, United States
consul at Lyons. Many varieties are
grown, and are called "marrons" and
"chataignes." The latter is the small
er and less desirable of the two. There
is an undivided meat in the shell OF
the marron, while the chataigne Is
divided into a number of pieces, each
of which is enveloped in an epiderm.
The marron is propagated only by
grating, while the chataigne grows
wild.
The marron trees only produce well
when they are about ten years old.
They should be planted about twenty
feet apart. Chestnuts should be eaten
fresh, but they may be kept in fresh
state, for some time by being buried
in sand. When dry they are general
ly thrashed until the shells fall off.
and eaten as a food. In some places
the chestnuts are preserved by being
scattered over a thin framework of
willow branches, under which there
is slow fire that produces a great
deal of smoke and no flame.
In some parts of France, in what
are called the "schist" lands, chest
nuts form a very important article
of daily food. They are boiled, pull
verified and eaten like our mashed po-
tatoes. The best ones are about the
size of our horse-chestnuts. They are
used extensively in confectionery.
One large factory in Lyons employs
$50 persons and handles 25,oo0,0 900
pounds of chestnuts annually.
The wood of the chestnut tree is
considered valuable for many pur-
poses. 1t is strong and tenacious and
may be subjected for years to the in
fiuence of air, wind and water without
decaying. In some places the trees
are cultivated solely for the wood. 1t
inflames easily and produces a great
deal of heat, but is considered dan
gerous as fuel on account of its ten
dency to throw out sparks. 1t makes
excellent charcoal.
The tree flowers in France in May
and June. 1t fourishes in gravelly
land, in shale. A calcareous ground
is fatal to its growth. In many parts
of France the trees have been planted
upon hillsides, because their roots
take tenacious hold of the earth and
prevent washouts. Losses from inun-
dations have greatly decreased in the
Cevennes since these trees were
planted on the mountain slopes of
those regions.

Apples in Enuland.

Americans as a rule find it dificult
to understand why such common fruit
as apples should be so dear in Eng
land, writes Consul S. G. Mcfarland,
of Nottingham. England. Only a
very few of the harder specimens
ripen in this climate. Having, how
ever, the best gardeners in the world,
the most has been made of the cir
cumstances, and by careful cultivation
a few dessert fruits of fine flavor, but
of small and poor appearance. have
been produced; also a few cooking
apples of questionable quality. OF re-
cent years, however, the Americans
and Canadians have begun the impor-
tation of apples, and now these are
being shipped in immense quantities.
Even from California and oregon
come the deciduous fruits that flood
the English market In the early win
ter. Later in the winter the harder
varieties of apples from the northern
United States and Canada are found
bringing good prices. There appears
to be no reason why the apple grow
ers of the United States and Canada
should not hold and develop the Eng
lish market indefinitely.

The Whitney Cab.

This variety is of Illinois origin.
Tree a moderate grower; upright,
trunk and limbs rather slender. Trunk
16h inches in circumference at base
and 151k inches at head. This variety
has in recent years suffered greatly
from attacks of blight and black rot;
canker on trunk has also been noted.
First bloom and fruit in 1892. Full
crop of fruit in 1895, heavy crops in
1899 and 1901. Fruit large, beautiful
red color, flesh tender, crisp, flavor
rich and pleasant. Excellent for des-
sert and for culinary purposes. Rip
ems latter part of August. AS an anna
teur fruit we know of nothing superior
to this variety, and it is also highly
commended for general planting. Its
susceptibility to blight is, however. a
serious drawback.-Virginia Station
Bulletin.

A Quarantine Nursery.

The idea of a quarantine nursery
comes from Austria. Such nursery
is one in which plants or vines may
be planted out and grown for per-
haps a year till it is found for GER
tain that they have about them no
disease that would prove injurious
to the plants of the country into which
they may be introduced. The Aus
trian Ministry of Agriculture has
been giving a good deal of attention
to the cultivation of European-Ameri-
can hybrids. The growers of France
and Italy had been forced to use
American vines as stocks on account
of such vines resisting the very seri-
Gus insect pest, the phylloxera. Later
it was found that hybrids would prob
ably do as well. But there was the
danger that the dreaded black rot
would be introduced at the same time
and the Austrians determined to pre-
vent it if possible. They selected
plot of ground in a section of coun-
try not devoted to the growing of
vines and had all the new importa-
tions sent there and planted out for
a year. More than twenty thousand
specimens of hardy American vines
and hybrids were planted in this
nursery! The experts of the Austrian
experiment station made several care
full examinations of this nursery dur
ing an entire year and found it free
from black rot. This precaution is
great, but it shows the wisdom of the
Austrians in such a matter.

and pure minded men and women our
schools and homes where the early
training of the child is had and where
the early impressions are made, should
be pleasant attractive and CHEEKY.
Light, we'll ventilated school rooms
should be provided and the teacher
should make them as attractive and
homelike as possible. An element of
good cheer should prevade the schoo
room. Flowers and beautiful pictures
should adorn the walls. Children
should be taught to love the beautiful
things in nature and to revere and re-
spect Him who created all things. The
success of many a school will be aug
mented if the teacher looks well to
this feature of his work.
Lack of thoroughness is one of the
evils of the day. Teachers should
make particular effort to inculcate IN
the minds of children the necessity OF
being thorough in everything. Let
the teacher set good example by be-
ing thorough in everything and then
demanding it of his pupils.

Educational Notes.

a large number of districts are yet
without teachers. If school boards
will write the county superintendent
he can in most cases refer them to
teacher.
Clerks should report the commence
lnent of the school term as early as
possible. 1t is necessary that the
county superintendent furnish each
teacher with blanks for the making
the monthly truancy reports and to do
this he must know the name of the
teacher in each district and the date
of the commencement of the school
term.
August - and IS has been set as the
date for the special teachers examina-
ton.
a high standard of morality must be
III aintaincd by the teacher, and this
standard exerts upon his character an
influence whose worth cannot be esti-
mated. The true teacher constantly
grows to higher ideals of moral excel
lence, and sees as truly as mortal man
can see the difficulty of their complete
attainment.-J. N. Wilkinson, in
School Management.
Every teacher in the county should
take a good educational journal.
Steps should be taken in each dis
trict to provide library. The school
should direct the pupils reading and
there is no better way than to have
library of good books in each school
room and then cultivate in the pupil a
desire for good books and by means of
the library direct his reading.

Pope Leo XIII is dead, The end
came peacefully Monday afternoon.
During his long reign as the ruler OF
the great Catholic church, he has
been one of the most conspicuous char
acters In the worlds history. At one
time,-when the temporal power Of
Catholicism was at its height to
be Pope was greater than to be a king,
With the decline Of temporal power
the church took up its proper work In
the spiritual kingdom, and the influ-
ence of the Pope over the church still
makes him one of the greatest Of
earthly potentates. The influence OF
Leo has always been for the benefit Of
his church and his fellowman. 1t can
truly be said that the world Is better
for his having lived in it, and it is to
be hoped that his successor who will
soon be named by the Sacred College
will be as great ruler as was Leo.

The Golden nascot Shows, Coming
July 80 1903.

The above caption is the new name
under which the Bonheur Bros. latest
enterprise under tents will travel this
summer and for all time in the future
that its banners wave. This peculiar
title was prompted by the fact that
its wagons transporting the show are
painted gorgeous yellow, color said
to be identified with Jonah'S pelt and
therefore tabooed by all professionals
of the tan bark arena.
Because of this popular superstition
against yellow, it was adopted by Bon
heur BROS. as a trtde mark and 1t has
been instrumental in advertising the
show far and wide as the yellow ag-
gregation."
1t is a conceded fact that some of
our best as well as most enlightened
people believe in signs and superSti-
tiOns of different kinds which cOnSer-
vative people hold to be erroneous.
Many amusing stories are told by tr0o
perS connecting Friday and IL with
the history Of The yellow wagons. AT
ter their enterprise grew from one wa
gon To IL 13 wagon show, circus poet
was inspired to write It's record in the
rhyme from which the following stan
"a is selected;
They say that Bonheur Brothers,
With their Golden Mascot Shows,
Have different luck than Others,
For as every traveller knows,
Yellow, like Friday, is u hoodoo,
But. their yellow vans thirteen
| know as well as you do,
Bring a fortune in long green,
For Friday of i'll omen,
And the Jonah called thirteen,
When mixed up with yellow
Are as good as gold, | ween."
Their show this year has been new
ly organized and is DOW enc of the pre-
test lady and children's amuSementS
under canvass. They carry 30 WORKING
dogs, selected from almost every known
breed, adapted for circus acts, and all
trained to perfection. The educated
goats, capable of performing surpriS'
ing tricks, tight rope performances
and aerial acts, for which Billey'S
whole family are especially adapted.
A large troop of midget ponies like
four footed elfS from fairyland, per-
forming wonderful acts, military ma
neuyers, drills and tableaux in red

have been in school all the past win
ter under masters in animal training
