THE WOOD CUTTERS MACHINE

The man who follows the time hon.
ored custom of saving wood will find
a piece of machinery that will save
him great labor in the Folding Saw
ing Machine pictured here. 1t is
manufactured by company of the
same name in Chicago and is regu-
larly advertised in our columns. This
machine takes the place of the old
time cross-cut saw. 1t can be used
in any situation where the cross-cut
can be used, and is great value is
seen in this, that one man can saw
more wood with it than two men can
with re old crOss-cut saw. 1t has a
record of nine cords of wood in a
single working day by one man. 1t
is not only adapted 70 saving felled
trees, but to saving down trees. 1t
is so adjusted that the operator is
not at all disconnected whether WORK
ing on the fallen log, the standing tree,
on the hillside, etc. By spring adj
justment it is made to suit the
strength of boy as we'll as man.
Saving with it is not a back break
ing performance, for the operator al
ways stands straight Easy and fast
saving by one man alone in all lOca-
lions are strong inducements to it's
use, but it has others. When through
with one job it can be folded up in
compact form, like jack knife
placed on the shoulder and carried
off to other work. 1t is perfectly
adapted 10 the needs of the tie chop
per- cordwood and saw log man, cut
ting posts, rail timber etc. The blade
is of the best saw steel. The whole
machine, though small and light, is
staunch and we'll made out of select
materials. Any one interested should
consult the advertisement elsewhere
for correct address and write the COM
pany for catalog and full information

THE DELoACH PONY sAWMILL

The illustration herewith, is a
small size sawmill manufactured by
the DeLoach Mill Mfg. Company of
Atlanta, Ca, who advertise regularly
in our columns. 1t is known as their
Pony Sawmill which will run with
as low as four horse power and cut
a matter of 1000 fee. day, thus we'll
adapting it to the individual lumber
mans use. 1t can be operated as
we'll with any horse power up to 20
and reach capacity of 10000 feet of
inch boards a day. We give the illus
tration merely as a suggestion of the
business of the DeLOach Company.
They manufacture a long line of mi Is
of all capaci les. They have the larg-
est sawmill manufacturing plant in
the world, and being lOca ed in this
southern city where labor is cheap,
and the best materials of every char
acter are abundant, they have every
facility for turning out, as they I'M
doubtdly do, the best line of sawmills
in he world, at low prices.
They also utilize this wealth of re-
source to the full in making Single,
Lath and Planning Mills, Edgers, Water
Wheels, Grinding Mills, Gearings, etc.
1t is a good concern to look o for
every article of machinery of this gen.
eral character.

SUCCESSFUL SWINE BREEDING.

In order to promote successful
swine husbandry there a few things
that it will be we'll to keep in mind.
There has been too much tendency
for brood sows to produce filters small
in number, and as one goes about
among breeders reports are frequent
of filters of four and five pigs. There
are several causes for this, but one
is a matter of inheritance. SOws from
pigs that have farrowed such small
filters should not be used for mothers.
A process of selection should be
adopted, and every breeder should
have a standard to be adhered to ex-
cepting under unusual clrcums anceS.
Sows should farrow filters OF eight
or more, and should easily rear, bar
ring accident, filters of ten at least,
if that number are farrowed. Bears
from large filters if possible, should be
used for service, so that the tendency
will be to develop the prolific habit
If one is a breeder, the difference be-
tween profit and loss is often one OF
size of litter. If our breeders will
select large, roomy, well matured
sows, from prolific families, and will
mate them to strengthened, thick
fleshed, blocky, short-legged boars,
they will greatly add to their wealth
in swine.
Strength of bone and limb is also
essential in successful swine husband
ry. A pig should have strong, good
sized bone, as shown in the leg, and
ought to stand up we'll on his feet,
and have an active movement. A serl-
Gus defect seen in many marketed
pigs, as well as brood sows, is the
broken down foot, with the dew claws
dragging, when they should be free
from the ground. Too much heavy
forcing, while young, will cause the
feet to weaken at the pastern, but
if good bone exist, the tendency to-
wards defective pas,ern will be much
lessened. If our breeders will Gull in
ferior animals from their herds more
severely, and in breeding will seri-
ously consider the two points OF pro-
ductive capacity and strength OF bone,
they will make a wise Improvement IN
the character of their stock.-Prof Z.
S. Plumb.

Consul General Frazer of Denmark,
sends a report which should be a con-
tribution to the contentedness OF
every American farm laborer. A Dan
ish farm hand, he says, receives $54
wages by the year, and by the day he
only receives "a cents. American farm
implements of every description he
SAYS. have the preference in Denmark.
The Danish government is wisely
doing much to encourage homemak1ng
and a resulting higher citizenship. In
order to induce men without means to
make a beginning the government Of
fers to advance nearly the entire value
of the property, taking a mortgage as
security, with easy terms of payment.
BY a system of agricultural high
schools these men are being educated
and in every way encouraged.
In an entire section of India the ma

he man feeds the COW an unbalanced
ration with which the cow cannot
possibly do her best. Think of a man
feeding a COW on cornstalks, timothy
hay and cornmeal, and then finding
fault because she does not make a
pail full of milk When a man robs
himself he has no right to kick the
COW. He should hire some big scien-
tific man to kick where the blow will
do the most good. There are plenty

of them, if we'll fed, would shame the

cause their owners do the stealing

The Goblin moth cost Utah the mag
nificent $500 silver trophy offered at
the recent irrigation congress for the
best fruit exhibit of the arid states.
Utahs exhibit was said to present the
finest appearance of any collection OF

practically conceded to her. The

serious defect, Worminess, and Idaho

SPRING vETcH IN OREGON.

Nearly all the farmers in VILLAIN
cite Valley SOW the spring vetch in
the fall, as our climate is mild, and
rarely get a freeze enough to winter
kill. Many poor farms have been re-
stored to fertility by the use of vetch'
es. For paying crop it is better
than wheat or oats. For hay nothing
can compare with it for cattle. Vetch
hay will produce more milk and save
mill feed to greater extent than any
other hay. Five tons to the acre is
about the average (cured). Hun
dreds of acres have been SOWn al
ready, some fields being inches high.
1t is necessary 10 SOW some grain TO
hold the vetches up off the ground;
oats, rye or cheat preferred, it being
impossible to clean wheat out OF the
seed, if saved for a seed crop. Care
must be taken not to SOW on too rich
ground, as they grow too rank and
fall down. Somewhat troublesome TO
handle for hay on account of length
of growth, and also must be handled
right if seed is the object, as if too
ripe much seed will be lost, and vol
unteer, but with ground plowed mel
low perfect mass of roots is readily
ava liable for the fol owing crop.

FEATS OF CHICKEN FANCIERS
by Intelligent breeding They Have
Produced Fowls Of All Sizes
and COlOrs.

The American Standard of Perfec-
ton as drafted and copyrighted by the
American Poultry association, con
tains the names of 10 varieties of
fowls, 115 of which are due to the de.
velopment of man. God made only
one-a homely, wild thing, which
made it's home in the Jungle along
with the rest of primeval creation,
says writer on the Great American
Barnyard, in Leslie's Monthly. By in
telligent breeding fanciers have pro-
duced fowls, of all sizes, from the
dlmlnutive bantam to the mammoth
bronze turkey; one tiny bit of feath-
cred vanity, weighing only few
ounces, and the other a bulky fowl
weighing from 40 to 60 pounds-as
much as a half-grown boy. Results
equally wonderful have been accom-
plished in color effects. There are
varieties in red, black, brown and
white, with nearly all possible COM
binations, beside buff and Andalusian
blue. The fanciers have shown that
they can lace, stripe, spangle or bar
the feathers of their birds in any wav
to satisfy their individual fancy. In
tact, about all they have left undone
is to put their initials on the feathers
of their birds.
