Helpless Land.

The biggest consideration in Amer
lean farming to-day is that Of putting
and keeping land in such condition
that it can produce humus for itself
when given a chance. The soil falls
below that point through too much
cropping, lack of drainage, poor til
lage or some other kind of misman.
agement, and then the store of humua
steadily declines. seedlings to clover
and grass are whole or partial fail
ures, and matters grow worse year
after year. The soil that is in good
physical condition produces humus
for itself whenever it has opportuni-
ty, and it is the old law that unto
him that hath shall be given. Usually
it is only matter of physical condi-
ton. It is only a comparatively small
area Of naturally good soil that will
not supply itself with the needed or
ganic matter to furnish fertility when
it already has a supply of such rotted
material ito make is retentive of mois-
ture while admitting the air needed
for chemical changes in its store OF

heavy sods for itself, and thus help
itself.-Farm and Fireside.

The Rtsht. Of the HOG.

The high prices of pork that have
prevailed for some time have induced
many farmers to embark in swine
raising more extensively than has
been their custom. This has not in
every case been done wisely nor we'll
Many a female representative OF her
race is having motherhood thrust up
on her, quite contrary to earlier at
tentions and without regard to any
Of the fine points of adaptability,
heredity and other traits which ex'
perienced breeders insist upon.
It is well to remember in the breed
ing of swine that it is easily possible
to come out with loss even when
high prices are ruling if business att
tention is not given to the production
of pigs that will make generous re
turns for food eaten. And they must
have the food to eat. When prices
are high, as now, too many consider
the hog principally in point OF num-
beers. The object appears to be to in
crease numbers without much regard
to the quality, or the qualities OF the
individuals. Pens and yards are
crowded, and feed expanded SO that
the amount of feed that would push
one pig family to an early finish IS
divided between two, and the develop.
ment of neither is such as will ena-
BILE the feeder to extensively particle
pate in the profits of good prices.
This condition of affairs will show
it's true significance when supply oyer
takes demand, as it is sure to do.
Then the poorly bred and half-fed
porker will be present to remind US
of our unwise haste.
There is rarely time when there
is not good money in good swine
for the feeder who feeds literally and
with judgment, but to the scrub
breeder and the stingy feeder tho
times of profit come seldom and do
not remain long.-W. F. McSparran,
