Small Farms.

The mar with only a small farm is
often discouraged. He is inclined to
think that there is on opportunity faS
him to accumulate. This is a great
mistake. There are many men own
ing small farms who are comparative
" rich. and there will be many more
in the future, as people become bet
ter educated in all departments of
agriculture. 1t matters not how much
land a man may own, he has no more
time to study and manage his compli-
Gated affairs than the man owning
but a few acres; and there are few
business enterprises that are success
full unless the owner has time to
study, manage and oversee details.
The man with a small farm has time
to devote to some speciality. His
small farm is easy to keep and i'm
prove; taxes are light, and not much
hired labor required; hence, he Ices
not need so much money as the owner
of a large farm, as his expenses are
so much less. Quite often the net in
come of small farms is greater than
that of larger ones. The work is
much pleasanter and easier, as there
is not so much on the mind, there is
more leisure time and less confusion.
Those who are not able to own large
farms should not feel discouraged, but
should study local surroundings to
find special things to raise for quick
money returns, and make the head as
sist the hands.-Cor Epitomist.

EXCHANGE OF CHILDREN.
Where City Parents Trade Their on
spring with People from
the Country.

A curious arrangement, called
"The Exchange of Children was
adopted by some charitable people of
Berlin last summer, and will be re-
vived this spring, says the New York
Tribune. The promoters arrange for
the temporary interchange of city
and country children. Children of
working people there begin to con-
tribute to the support of the family
sooner than in this country. The lit
tie ones all have their tasks. This is
true in the country, as well as in
the cities, but the labor performed
by children in the towns is very diff
ferent from that on the farm.
Hence some charitable m of
Berlin organized a fresh-air scheme,
by which the children of the poor
may exchange places for a few
months in the summer. Those from
the FIRMS come into the city, which
is a valuable educational experience
for them, and those N the city have
an opportunity to enjoy a little
country life, without depriving the
parents of either of their assistance.
Families who are willing to make
such exchanges are invited to report
at the headquarters, where an ex-
change is arranged.

Cultivation of Sage.

1t will take about one and one-half
pounds of seed to plant one acre, at
ST per pound. Sow seed in burned
beds, same as you would tobacco.
When plants are three inches high,
reset in rows three feet apart, Is
inches in drill, by hand or with plant
setter. Cultivate to keep free of
weeds. When the leaves turn to a
shade of brighter green than when
growing, it is ready to harvest. Cut
the stems three or four inches long
with a sharp knife, and place on racks,
same as broomcorn, in an airy shed,
about one bushel to the rack, as
plenty of air is necessary to cure
properly. One acre will produce from
300 to 500 pounds the first year, and
if it lives through the winter, which
it will do if winter is not too cold, it
will produce 600 to 1900 pounds the
second year. As to prices, it sells at
wholesale for from eight to twelve
cents per pound if put on the market
before Thanksgiving, and from six to
ten cents if placed on the market
after that time. At the lowest figures
it will pay SIS per acre, and at the
highest estimate 500 per acre, but
should it live over the second year it
would pay from sac, the lowest esti-
mate, to $144, the highest per acre

Hog BristIes.

Did yon ever try scrubbing a hog
with soap and water?
Try it and see how he will grow.
If you begin when they are young
they will enjoy it. Rub them good
with straw and give a clean bed.
The stays and boar should be yard
ed together.
Where the boar is kept alone he
should be yarded away from the sows
so that he will not be disturbed.
The male hogs and stays should be
kept separate from the brood sows.
Wall tenders placed ten to twelve
inches above the foor will keep the
SOW from crushing the pigs against
the wall.
arate pen two weeks before narrowing
so that she will become quiet and ac-
customed to her new quarters.
Provide fresh straw for tile nests
when needed and clean the pens each
day. But little straw hould be given
the narrowing sow and this should be
short and chaffy. The young pigs
get tangled in the long straw and are
injured by the dam, as a consequence.
No animal enjoys the sunshine more
than the hog and non are so general
ly deprived of it. Some people think
that any place is good enough for a
hog, and they are kept for months I'M
der barns and in pens on the north
side of other buildings where the sun
never shines. Give them all the sun
shine they want; it is plenty and
cheap.
Small narrowing pens, about 6xs
feet and four to five feet high In
front, placed in the open lot, serve a
good purpose for isolating the sow
at the time of narrowing, when the
weather will permit their being left
out-of-doors.-Farm Journal.

Earm Notes.

Weeds rob the farmers soil and en-
tail labor from spring until tall.
Farmers in each community should
unite and determinedly fight weeds
for three years, not allowing a single
one to grow if possible; their ex-
penses then would be greatly reduced.
The feeding of breeding stock is an
evil that demands attention. 1t is
well known that, for breeding pur-
poses, a breeding animal should not
be over-fat; yet animals are exhibited
at fairs as breeding stock" when, in
fact, they are in fat condition, which
is just opposite to what they should
be. If fat animals are attractions at
fairs, they should be induced to COM
pete for prizes offered for fat stock.
Do not wait too long before beginning
to spray to destroy insects and para
sites. 1t is the early work that is the
most effectual. If the farmers wish
to be prosperous, they must combine
with their farming the manufacture
of pork and beef. The corn, grass,
hay and fodder are their raw materi-
ais; the pork and beef and wool their
finished products.-Cor. Epitomist.

GIRLS FOUGHT WE'LL.
They Actually Smothered Party of
Marauding Youths.
Struggle Follows Efforts to Break Up
a NightgOwn Party Given by CO.
Eds-Scanty Attire No Bar
to the Attack.

The st. Paul (Minn.) correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean is authority
for the statement that a dozen youths,
students of Hamline college, the other
night engaged in a close range struggle
with the co-eds of the institution, clad
in night gowns, and were compelled
to retreat after they had been liter
ally smothered in girls and pushed and
pulled about in a most heartless man
ner by their fair opponents.
With the girls wearing their slum-
Der robes, and the boys decked out in
Indian and tramp costumes, the strug-
gle was short and decisive.
1t all arose over a nightgown ban
quet. The co-eds had been planning
for weeks to enjoy themselves in a
novel manner, and elaborate prepare
tions had been made. The dining-room
of Ladies' hall had been selected as the
scene of festivities, and tables had
been surreptitiously prepared. The
greatest secrecy was maintained, but
in some unaccountable way the boys
learned of the affair and planned to
raid the banquet hall.
Shortly before midnight the girlsin
flowing costumes gathered in the lower
hallway of Ladies' hall, and when all
were present, marched silently and in
a body to the dining-room.

young Indians and tramps were hurry

leaders were more aggressive, and, aft

backward the girls set upon the thieves.
and the fun and fighting began. The
Indians and tramps seeing tie fulfil
ity of attempting to escape, hastily
slowed away what loot they could in
their pockets and turned at bay.
Their efforts were of no avail. The
fury of the attack made by the anna
zonian phalanx was irresistible, and
each boy found himself surrounded by
a large and aggressive crowd of angry
girls. The invaders were struck and
jerked and pushed and pulled about
the tables, and then thrown on their
backs by the co-eds, who piled on top
of them and held them pOwerless. The
girls showed 40 mercy and their enc
mics asked none. One by one the boys
were forced to disgorge their plumber.
and one by one they were driven
through the windows by which they
had entered.
In. the meantime the tumult had
awakened the preceptress, who hur-
ried to the dining-room to discover
the cause. When she arrived she found
a situation that was startling, to say
the least. Almost every girl student
residing at the hall was there. Flushed
with victory and content with the sig
nal defeat they had administered to
the boys, they declared themselves
ready to accept any punishment if al
lowed to proceed with the banquet.
The preceptress was lenient, and
told the girls that they were the ag-
g~rieved parties. In order to give the
nightgown party a semblance of le-
gality, she permitted the festivities to
proceed.
The next day the campus at Hamline
college was the scene of a number of
secret condolences by students dis
cussing the affair. The Indians and
tramps declare that they are not dis
heartened.

The Hog AZ n Machine.

Corn thrown into a well-bred pig
is cash." writes f. ID. Coburn, secre-
tary of the Kansas state board OF
agriculture. 1.-The hog is a patented
machine, fully capable of taking care
of all the raw material set before it.
1t is self-regulating and self-oiling,
never gives out, and is perfectly re-
liable. The machine can take ten
bushels of corn, and put them into
the DON that the bushel will require.
Take a good hog, and fill him with
corn, and fatten him. Seven pounds
of corn will make n pound of fat,
and that pound is worth many times
seven pounds of. corn. The hog is a
condenser of freight rates. Ship him
to England. and the freight on him
will be much less than on the + it
took to fatten him, and he will bring
several times the amount Of money"

Worth Bearing in Mind.

A quick growth. and an early ma
turity, returns the best profit among
cattle, swine, sheep and poultry. The
intelligent farmer, in preparing his
stock for market, should always bear
in mind the Importance of pushing
his stock from the time they are born
until placed on the market. Every
day should see a gain in weight
along the lines of profit; yet at the
same time, this crowding should not
be o%verdone. There is danger of in
juring animals by overlooking, espe-
cially when young. If, however, the
feed rations are properly made, look
ing toward just enough and not too
little, or toe much, good results may
be expected in the end.-Midland

HERE m THERE.

Hogs like plenty of sunlight and
sunlight is cheap in the southwest.
The hog is not by nature a dirty
animal, but sometimes the treatment
he gets is enough to warp his dispo-
sition.
Beating a cow over the head with
a fence rail will neither improve her
disposition nor increase her flow of
milk.
The man who depends on the
acorn crop to fatten his hogs will
never be able to build libraries from
his profits in the hog raising business.
The demand is nearly always good
for horses of medium weight and
good form. Brood mares, properly
handled, can be made to pay on al
most any farm.
When buying COWS for dairy herds
it is a good plan to determine the
amount of milk given by weight. A
COW that gives a 'pail full" night and
morning may be a very poor dairy
animal.
The man who fails to give active
support to his truck growers associa-
ton has no right to complain If the
association shipments do not yield
satisfactory returns.
1T is said that the tomato pack
in the vicinity of Lexington, Va, will
reach fourteen million cases. Some of
the canning plants are supplied from
their own tomato fields.
"A teaspoonful of copperas to a
gallon of water is an excellent tonic
for fowls when melting or otherwise
debilitated. An iron drinking vessel
will answer the same purpose.
Fowls that are confined to small
run can be given free range condi-
tions by frequently blowing or spad-
ing the ground, thus affording health
and vigor producing exercise and a
goodly supply of worms.

connection between your practical
farm work and the thousands of re-
corded experiences of other farmers
