Skeptical.
When he went travelling, he always
stopped at the Hotel that had the

1t was quite a Job that Ollie had
mapped out for himself. He was GO

a large World at that!
However, he tackled it brayelY He
knew that in order to back up the

Ollie loved to stroll up to the Wheel

Blue Chips and get Stung for a paltry
Hundred and then stretch himself, as if
longing for Excitement, while all the
$S-a-week Fellows looked at him In

that Ollie was after.
He began to have some Trouble in
getting Things that were good enough
for him. He paid 81 apiece for his
Shirts, as a great many People after
ward learned, and the Tobacccnist had
to send away for a Special Brand of
30-cent Cigars, because Ollie hated the
Cheap Kind. While cut shopping, if
the Salesman showed him a Pair of

to know if they didn't have something

Spayinq Animals.

From Farmers Review: The prac-
tice of spaying females to prevent re-
production is almost abandoned. The
early maturing animal scarcely gets
old enough for reproduction until It'll
sent to the market. This was com
mon practice in earlier days when
hogs were allowed to run at large and
were kept one or two years before
sending them to the market. Rather
than run the risk of losing any of the
animals by an operation, it is a better
method to keep the gifts until seven to
nine months old and then sell them.
One month of pregnancy is not objec-
tionable in the sow. IT allowed to run
near time of farrowing, however, the
animal, of course, is unfit for market.
No animal should be castrated or spay-
ed Immediately after weaving. The
latter alone tends to check growth and
the young animal should become ac-
customed to doing without it's favorite
food before its system is shocked by
castration.-W. B. Anderson.

In Peaty Boos,

Circular 8, Bureau Of Soils, Depart
ment Of Agriculture: Burning was
formerly practice in common use
in European agriculture, and is yet
continued in the marsh soils of north.
ern Germany. Denmark, and Holland.
The smoke Of this burning is said at
times to be noticeable as far as Italy.
The sod is there burned to depth Of
10 or II inches only. and is then cul-
tivated for from five to ten years and
burned again. Such a practice will in
time burn the entire peat of the
swamps and leave the underlying soil
bare. The practice is very prodigal
of organic matter and is not to be
recommended in America, especially
since there are crops which grow to
best advantage in peat. In celery
areas, where such peaty soils are
handled, burning is not the usual prac-
tice; in fact, the organic matter is
the desirable part of the soil for the
production Of celery. In such areas
some cultivated crop is planted for
one or two years to give the peat an
opportunity to decay. Rather shallow
open drains are dug and the soil slow
ly dried out. When the first plowing
is done the peat is often wet and bog
gy, so that it Is impossible to drive
horse across the bog. Ingenious
farmers in southern California attach
board to the feet Of the horse the
first time the bog is plowed. Though
most horses are not used to working
with SNOW Shoes" as they are called,
they soon learn the proper swing to
give the feet, and the work of plow-
ing goes on nicely.

How / Get Winter Eoos.

From Farmers Review: Our ex-
perience in getting winter eggs has
only been with Bluffs and Barred
Rocks. The first thing is to have
pure-bred stock, as no definite result
can be expected from miscellaneous
crosses. For Barred Rocks the chicks
should be hatched the last two weeks
OF March, or the first half of April,
but the Buff Rocks may be hatched as
late as the middle of May. Then care
should be taken to keep them grow
ing from the time they leave the shell.
Above all, keep them free from lice.
When the time arrives for placing
the stock in winterquarters. Gull out
all the drones, and those inclined to
take on fat too readily. for lazy hen
like a lazy poultryman is not sue
cess. Do not crowd the stock. Fiji
teen to twenty hens are enough in
one pen. See that the house is warm.
Keep the floor covered about six inch
es deep with straw or some other lit
ter. This should be renewed about
once week or often enough to keep
the house cleanly. For our morning
feed we use the Andrews prepared
food, made by company at Ma
con, III. The foundation of this feed
is ground oats and corn, with some
secret ingredients. This is a great
egg producer. We mix this feed with
milk, boiled vegetables. meat scraps,
blood meal or any table scraps. We
give what will be eaten up in fifteen
to twenty minutes. We then scatter
wheat in the litter, just enough to
keep them busy till supper time. We
then give them a good feed of corn
In real, cold weather this should be
warmed. Give plenty of milk and
fresh water. For an apetizer feed
any kind of vegetables. Last but
not least. do not forget the grit and
the busting place.-A. A. Anderson,

Possibilities In Truck GROWING.

Recently the writer was favored
with visit from Mr. Fred Engel. of
bolton, Illinois. That gentleman is
a truck gardener and on little over
20 acres OF land makes living for
MS family of six persons He saws
he could make a living off 10 acres
II he had too. Asked as to his most
profitable crop this year, he replied
that 1t was asparagus OF this he
had IN the past cleared 5000 per
acre. This is an illustration Of what
intensive farming can do. He had
also, he said. made good profits from
his crops Of potatoes, cabbages and
onions: Intensive culture must be
looked to for profits in the future. II
Is not so much problem of how to
get more land to farm, as it is a
question of how to get off the land
now under cultivation double the
amount we now obtain. That such
an increase is possible on the aver
age is absolutely certain, as the ay.
erage production per acre is very
low. The use OF fertilizers makes II
possible TO increase the products of
the garden, and the draining of the
land, where natural drainage is NOT
perfect, is another means to mako
the land more productive.
There are great possibilities of de-.
velopment in this part of the farm
work. By the last census more th.,
10000 farms are shown to be grow.

The Lunch at the Hoo Sale.

A. G. Woodbury.: From the good
old times" there has been handed
down the custom of free entertain
ment to man and beast Select a
homelike house. If you want a good
sale, don't take your buyers to a
cheap hotel. Clean beds and well
served meals make the animal, man,
in better humor to buy hogs. The
strong argument against free hotels,
is the expense. This proffer to par

lnconclusive Tests.

There are some tests made that
count for so little that it is doubt
full il they should be considered when
determining q principle of practice.
Such is the report of a test that
comes from Australia. The test was
made to increase the fund of knowI
edge on the skimming qualities Of
the milk of Jerseys, Ayshires and
Holsteins. The per cent of fat in the
skimmilk was lowest in the case u
Jersey milk, and highest in the case
OF Holstein milk, but, the report adds,
the difference was not marked.
Here is the point: There must have
been some difference and the fact
that "it was not marked" leads one
to assume that it was a mere chance
that determined the order Of supe
riority.

Value of Hiqh-Bred Corn,

a grower of high quality corn gives
the following reasons why such corn
will be most valuable for the farmer
to raise: Like produces like. Off,
spring partakes of physical and chemi-
cal characteristics OF both parents.
Prepotency is increased by breeding.
Purity can be maintained by selecting
for seed only ears that are true to
type and that have been grown in an
isolated position. High oil corn fin
ishes beef and pork more rapidly than
ordinary corn. and fewer bushels of
corn are required to do the same
work. Oil is the most valuable bv.
product Of the glucose factory, and in
time premium will be paid on high.
oil corn. High protein makes corn a
balanced ration for growing cattle. A
corn high in both oil and protein is
the ideal feeding corn. The yield of
high bred corr is from 10 to 40 per
cent greater than that of ordinary
corn. In pedigree corn the per cent
of barren stalks is reduced to tie
minimum, while the per cent of ears
is raised to the maximum One hun.
dred bushels of high bred corn have
been produced where ordinary corn
yielded sixty bushels.

Composition of Sleeps Milk,

There have been numerous analy
ses made of sleeps milk. The infor-
nation on this point is increased by
some experiments made in France
this past year. Altogether Ill sam
plies were analyzed. These were not
taken from one flock at one period,
but were obtained in six different To-
caIities, and they were taken during
a period covering three months. The
results should therefore be about the
average for that region. The milk
proved to be very rich. both in fat
and in total solids. Ten samples
taken in the region of Roquefort
showed the following average com.
position: Solids, 1S.9; fat, COS;
sugar, 5.5S; casein. 5.54; ash, O.96;
lime, 0.25; acid, 2.66 per cent.
