-
American farmers should raise more.
hogs than they q raising at present
The great deficiency in Swine in the
United States a not a condition calcu-
lated to be Tor the good Of the people.
With increasedpopulation there should
be a marked increase in the number OF
swine raised In the past the hog has
been one Of the great sources Of cheap
meat. This cheap meat has been
found in the homes of the poor as we'll
as the rich. Moreover It has been d
staple article Of diet On the farm.
Much as it has been maligned. it has
been q healthful and nutritious food.
Instead Of hogs increasing with the
population there has been a decrease.
The result has been high prices, to the
-detriment Of the consumer and indi-
rectly to the producer. The consumer
IS feeling the deficiency now and the
producer win feel It later, when we
have a financial depression, for the
reason that the farmer is dependent on
the prosperity Of the cities for his own
prosperity, as well as vice versa. What
ever affects one class of citizens will
adect other classes. The limited u D
ply of hogs has lessened the demand for
labor in handling them. This is not
felt at this time, for the reason that
commerce in using all the labor It can
get. But in the time to come it viii
make a great difference to all Of us
whether there is a large or small vol
ume Of hogs TO handle. Increase the
supply Of hogs so per cent and we in
crease the labor demands for handling
them. In a time Of depression this will
mean employment for thousands who
would otherwise be idle.
Let no man think that there is as
much profit to a community in supply
lng a small quantity of products at a
high price as in supplying a large
quantity Of products at a comparative
IL low price. A large volume Of all
things lean prosperity. Money Is not
wealth, but only a mean of exchang-
ing wealth. Famine means poverty
and distress, no matter how high the
prices may be. An agricultural COM
munity becomes rich by reason OF the
very large volume Of products It can
turn OUT Many q money panic has
been stayed by bounteous crops, and
many a money panic has been aggre-
waited by poor crops.
It is a patriotic duty farmers owe the
nation to keep up the meat supply. It
win be a pity If the time comes when
the farmer and his family can not af-
ford to eat Of the meats they produce,
as is said even now to be the case in
some parts Of the world. The hog is
capable Of a great rate of increase
Two filters a year make it possible to
turn famine into abundance within q
single season. The brood sows should
be given more prominence on the farm
than at the present time. We can not
do too much to increase the swine sup
ply. Instead OF 46,O00,OOO hogs in the
country, as shown by the January re-
port Of the department Of agriculture,
we should now have over 100000 to
keep up with the ever increasing popu-
Iation.-Midland Farmer.

ton q The chemistry of soils as rslat-
cd 70 the yield gf crops. The results.
Indicate that practically a1l soils have
sufficient available plant food for nor-
nal crop yields, and that this supply is
constantly maintained through natural
agencies in the soils dissolVlng the ma
terial Of the soil grains. The differ
enee in yield Is dependent D o the
condition and kind Of cultivation and
rotation Of crops, maintaining certain
necessary physical conditions in the
soil, under which this plant food can be
used by the crop. A bulletin has Just
gone to press giving the details Of the
investigation, and discussing the in
nuenee Of climate, texture Of soil. ro-
tation, fertilizers, and soil management
upon the yield Of crops. The work is
based upon analyses by new and ex-
ceedingly sensitive methods, BY which
the amount Of plant food in the soil
moisture itself, which is the great nu-
tritiye solution for the support Of
crops, has been determined, and not
by digesting the. soils in acids which at
tack the inert mineral matter Of the
soils.
While the conclusions appear to be
in conflict with the opinions held for
SO many years by agricultural chemists,
they are in strict conformity with the
experience of good farmers in all eoun-
tries, and with actual facts which have
long been established by agricultural
chemists. The fertility of the soil is
thus shown to be due to physical
causes which control the supply Of
water and plant food which it con-
tains, as the soil moisture in all cases
appears to be about the same in COM
position and concentration. The fertile
ty is therefore controlled by a physical
cause, and a chemical examination Of
a soil can not be expected to indicate
the yield Of a crop. It is believed that
a simple physical method will be de-
vised1 for determining the relative fer-
tility Of soils.

OUR GREATEsT C0RN RIVAL:
Argentina Seems Destined to Be
come Our Greatest Rival An
the Raising Of Corr

Corn is king Of American crops. Its
yearly value is much greater than that
of any other. 1t seems also more Sc
cure against rivalry than any other.
Canada, Russia and other lands
compete with us in wheat. Com
petitors in cotton are growing in many
places at an ominous rate. But the
United States has seemed to have pref
ty nearly a monopoly Of corn grow
ing. In this industry, however, a rival
is also arising which may before long
be developed into great proportions.
That rival is Argentina, a country
which for more reasons than II might
well be regarded as the United States
Of South America. It is only about
two-hfths as large as the United States,
ana has only o~ne-ffteenth its pOpu-
lation. But its soil is wondrOusly fer
tile and its climate genial, end 1t is
growing in population and in the arts
Of civilization at a gratifying pace. Its
production Of cattle and sheep, Of
hides and wool, Of linseed and various
other things is well-known to be great
Il is to be remarked that 1t Is also
becoming a great producer Of corn, for
which crop its soil and climate seems
to be particularly well suited. The last
years crop Of corn is reported to have
covered 100000 acres, and to have
measured 1870, 100000 bushels, That is,
Of course, very much less than our 94,A
0OO.O 600 acres and 2,528,O {, 900 Bushels.
Yet approximately to the population
Of the country, it is a creditable show
ing. Moreover, it is to be observed
that the Argentnes get more than
thirty bushels from an acre, and get
q dollar Of their currency, or "A cents
gold, a bushel for it, making a yield
Of 1890 an acre, while we, with our
boosted higher civilization, are con-
tent with q bushels TO the acre, which,
at 40 cents a bushel, means a yield Of
only $1,000 an acre.
There is no occasion to get scared
at the specter Of Argentine competi-
tion in the corn market. Yet it is evil
dent that Argentina Is destined before
long to be so considerable a producer
Of that crop as to cut a figure in the
markets Of the world, and probably to
rank as a rival Of the United States

no Avoid Hog ChoIera.


DR.. Salmon, chief Of the bureau Of
animal industry in the department Of
agriculture, lays down some primary
principles to be observed in avoiding
hog cholera. He says:
''The first principle Of TINS method OF
prevention is to breed only from ma
ture breeding stock which is only dis
family or not at all related. The sec
ond principle is to select, if possible,
animals for breeding stock which have
shown, by having passed through an
outbreak without having become af-
fected, that they possess a power Of re-
sisting cholera. The third principle is
to feed the growing shoats upon a va
riety OF food which will lead to normal
and harmonious development Of all the
different organs. The application Of
these principles must be made by the
individual breeder in accordance with
his circumstances and surrounding cOn-
ditions. The breeding from mature ami
mails which are not closely related can
be easily adopted by anyone. The Sc
lection Of stock which has shown that
it possesses a power Of resisting the
disease is much more difficult, and in
many cases it will be impossible fJT
the general farmer, though there are
many breeders who could experiment in
this direction with profit"
