HERE AND THERE.

With growing pigs especially the
food should always be given in a
clean, wholesome condition, and never
allowed to sour.
Remember that the size of trees
does not always depend upon their
age, but upon the soil in which they
are planted and the care they receive.
Several Kentucky farmers have
lost quite a number of cattle, caused
by eating green tobacco that had been
sprinkled with paris green to kill
worms
AS a general rule when necessary
to wean the pigs, 1t is better to let
them remain in the pen they have been
raised in than to take them away and
let the dam remain.
In handling a bull always be care
full lest damage be done, not to the
bull, but TO some one else Some bulls
may be reliable, but 1t is not wise to
trust one Of them further than you
can throw him by his tail, and the tail
well creased.
1t may seem extravagant for a
farmer of limited means to buy an ex-
pensive stallion, boar or bull but Oft
ener than otherwise 1t is the, best in
vestment he could make Of his small
amount of surplus funds. 1t is the best
products that sell best
Fifty fowls can be kept on q very
small bit Of land il they are given good
care, and they should return at least 81
o week the year round. Such a flock
would pay good many business men
in the benefit he would derive from
taking care Of them.
Formers are now giving mors at
tention to rotation of crops and green
manurlng than ever before. The de-
mand for seeds of legumnous is great
or than ever before in the history of
the country. IN the southwest this de-
mand Is for alfalfa, COW peas, spotted

lesDedeza, etc.
"A brood mare should have plenty of
light work during her entire bearing

Why's beneficial.
TO fatten rapidly the hog must be
kept comfortable, as well as being well
| fed. Eating Is merely the mechanical
part OF the process, which prepares the
food for digestion It Is the digestion
that adds TO the weight Of the animal.
Quiet comfort aids digestion, a little
exercise also aids digestion.

Origin of the Grain weight.

The Druggists Circular and Chemical
Gazette publishes the following inter
esting note on the origin of the grain
weight BY an English law passed in
1866, it was provided that silver .enny
called a sterling, should equal in weight
50 wheat grains, well dried. and
taken from the center of the ear
From this it seems eyeident that tbe
grain Of wheat was the prototype Of the
standard grain The weight now known
as the grain is of course copied from
governmental standards. In 1926 GER
tain weights and measures were legal
lied in England, and in 1927 copies of
these were furnished our government
among them being the troy pound
equivalent to 5,76O grains, The origin
of the signs commonly used for the scru-
pie, drachm and ounce does not seem to
be known II is not unlikely that they
are entirely arbitrary.

An Excellent Example,

Five thousand Of the public school
children Of Missouri are being taught
the rudiments of agriculture, and it is
expected that as soon as competent
teachers can be secured, agriculture
will be taught in all the rural schools
OF that state In teaching these
branches in the public schools, special
attention is paid to identifying the
school grounds, as well as the yards
and lawns of the children's homes
The school grounds are planted in
flowers, shrubs, vines and trees, and
the work is done by the pupils. The
bulletins to be used as textbooks in
teaching the children agriculture. In
this matter Missouri has taken an ad-
vanced position, and no doubt great
good will result, and it will not be
confined to Missouri.--Farm and
