Agriculture will not have atts,n.,,
the highest place until farms of tbe
country have been made to nrod,roe
annually the full measure of their 90.
paeity. This means rotation. fertili-
cation and a host of other things that
hust come with progressive farming
Some farmers have a side line when
engaged in farming. Some of them
make more at the side issue than thew
10 at the main vocation. Neglect must
come when n is engaged in a side
issue. This has been ascertained nv
bitter experience.
In constructing a poultry house It is
best to have its face to the southwest
as the sun will then send in its warmth
as o as 1t rises. The sun will warm
the house until about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon In the winter. If the house
races the south, as Is usually the eus-
tom, the suns rays will not enter be-
Tore D or 10 o'clock, although the morn
ing is the most important time for re-
ceiying the benefit.

Hog Hints.

nOE W.
Sows with very nervous tempera-
ments should be avoided.
The pigs should have a dry clean
bed. free from dust and filth.
A cow should never be confined to a
drv lot barren Of all grasses n other
forage.
The cheapest pork Is that maze py
tho wise use of clover pasture.
The hog should find a place In the
economical management Of every
farm. 49,.
No difference how plentiful the sup
nly of Stops, the hogs should have
fresh water daily.
while dust in the bed Is injurious,
more may be said against dampness'
which IL fatal to thrift.
The hog to thrive best must DO CAV
on food that will build up the system
evenly. The bone, muscle n fa'
must maintain Just proportions

feet above the ground for convenience
in caring for the fowls. The coop is
about 2 feet wide, 5 feet long, and
2 feet 8 inches high, and will easily
hold six birds.
The bottom should be constructed of
Stats, somewhat closer together than
the sides and ends, so that the drop
pings may fall through. The coops
should be placed under roofs to shed
rain and to protect the fowls from the
hot sun. In cold weather 1t would be
necessary to protect them still more
by placing the coops in buildings. Feed
troughs and water vessels are attached
at the outside in easy reach Of the
fowls.-J. d. Spooner, in Farm and

OLD BIRDS HELP UNG
Some characteristics About Their Hab-
its Noted by an Ornitho1ogist.

AS the years go by l am more and
more impressed by the close relations
between bird ways and human ways,
says q writer in Forest and Stream.
C%ourtship and marriage are as variable
and interesting as in the human fam
lily, but there Is no divorce In the bird
.amily. Once mated Is mated for life.
The male birds return from the south
about a week before the females and
young. The old females assist the
young females in selecting nesting
sites, which usually are in the imme.
date locality Of the mothers nest.
The mother looks after the welfare
Of her year-old daughters; in this way
family ties are maintained. l see this
trait In many birds that visit my cabin,
such as catbirds, woodthrushes, veer
les, ovenbirds, robins, towhee bunt'
lngs, chestnut-sided warblers, black.
throated warbleTs, redstarts, chicka.
dees, and song sparrows. 1t proves
that blood Is thicker than water In
the bird family as well as in the hu'
man family. / have seen mother birds
assist In nest-building in several In
stances. Years ago l saw this trait In
the caves swallow. The young birds
would begin a nest IN the plain clap
boards, which would fall before 1t wa,
half built. The old birds took a hand
and induced the young birds to selcc
a more secure spot. I have known thu
old bird to use force to keep a foolish
youngster from a dangerous nestin,
site.

Too GenerOuA.

Lady member of the advanced brig
ade-I cannot understand why you
men seem to prefer the silly, foolish,
insane women, who have not two
thoughts in their empty heads. If L
were a man 1 should select a girl with
a mind Of her own.
Male Outsider-The worst OF that
sort of woman is that she is always
so fond of giving pieces Of It away
Spare Moments.

sity, but the implements to indulge 1t.
As the wants of the animal are sup
piled without roofing, the roofing por-
ton of the pig becomes less suitable
to the purpose, as all the improved
breeds are shortening up in the nose
and snout.
Hogs root for worms and tubers or
grass roots. These not only aid as a
ration of maintenance, but as a regu-
lator and conditioner Of the system.
The desire to roo at the present time
Is a symptom usually that the stomach
demands something that 1t Is not re-
ceiving.
Hogs that are fed ON dry corn or
grain feed develop this desire for root
ing, as the hog endeavors to secure
that which will relieve 1t. To prevent
this condition we would feed plenty Of
charcoal or wood ashes, also a little
oilmeal, to get them into proper condi-
ton.
An animal that forms the habit OF
roofing will root regardless Of de-
mands. 1t is as hard to break 1t of the
habit as is the chewing of tobacco In
the human race, and the only preven-
tive Is some system Of ringing to pre-
vent the use Of the snout.-New York
Farmer.
