Hog Raising on the Farm.

In choosing brood sows for the pro-
duction of poYk. it is a very important
matter to select from prolific and
strong legs aAd good feet. The indi-
viduals selected should be rather
rangy, with 4 straight back. broad
and deep body. 1t is not a bad plan
to notice whether she has twelve de-
veloped teats. Do not bred them be-
fore they are eight months old. but
feed them well before and after breed
ing, so that they may become vigor-
Gus and welt developed
The boar, as is usually said, is half
of the herd, therefore, great care must
be exercised in his selection. In the
first place, he should be a full blood
sire of whatever breed he is chosen,
so that he may correct any faults that
may obtain in the sows. Like the
sows, he should come of a prolific and
vigorous family. but should be more
correctly built than the sows. 1t is
well to have the boar about the same
age of the sows.

Utilizing OId orcharda.

mere are many farms in the coun-
ffy Wen suited to sheep raising which
are not used for that purpose because
thelr owners raise other crops which
are profitable. During q recent trip
the writer passed through a section
where sheep were being raised in old
orchards, and he promptly left the
tram to investigate. 1t was found that
orchards in this section had been
planted about the same time, and
While they We're still bearing good
FRUIT, they were fast nearing an age
when they would be no longer profit
able. New orchards had been set but
instead of abandoning the old orchards
the ground had been seeded down and
turned into fine pastures for sheep,
which were doing finely. Not only
this, but it was found that the or
chards had taken on new life, and
were making profit for their own
ers. There is point In this worth
any ones attention under similar con-
ditions. In some sections sheep rails

and pasturing their orchards, and

As to Wheat Growing.


There seems to be Il general opinion
that wheat production has greatly
fallen off in sections located outside
the great wheat belts, and while this
is SO in some States, and particularly
so with some individuals, statistics
show that the falling off is not so
great as is generally supposed. On the
other hand, there are individual farm
ers who are good wheat raisers who
have given up their farms almost ea-
tirely TO other crops, simply because
they do not feel able to compete with
the great wheat sections of the West.
1t is doubtful if this is good policy.
for while the farm may frequently be
used to better advantage, there is
always a market in any section for a
crop of good wheat, and always use
for a small crop on the farm. Then,
too. wheat is one of the best of crops
to use in a rotation. having a value to
the soil in this respect so great that
it would pay to grow it even If the
sale was comparatively limited. Ii
it could not be sold at fair price il

not cus out the wheat entirely until
you have investigated its value on
your farm.
