FARM NOTES.

Brood sows should have attention
before farrowing as well as after.
Farming is poor business when the
farming is poor
Much labor and expense may be
saved by planning ahead Of time.
Care and fertilizers make the farm;
care and feed make the stock
Any animal when fed heavily should
have a change of food, especially
sheep.
Free exercise for hogs tayeIops
muscle and frame and adds 10 the
value Of the pork.
By using the drill for sowing the
depth of covering is uniform and there
is no loss of seed.
Never let the farm work az stock
stand still or retrograde; but keep
both progressing steadily.
The productiveness or unpr0ductive-
ness of farm depends chiefly on the
farmer and his methods
The value Of wood ashes in the or
chard and Of coal ashes on heavy wet
clay can hardly be cverestimated
Always keep stock SO well that It is
ready for sale at any time so that if
a rise in market occurs advantage
may be taken of it.
Quality is placed last in the essen
tial points of fruit for market. Hardi-
ness is given first, next, productive
ness, size, beauty, ability to stand
transportation, season of ripening.

GRASS AND CLOVER PAYING
CROPS

Pasture grass is not often consider
ed a cash crop, and hay does not, per-
haps, bring to the pocketbook, when
sold, quite as large a revenue as titled
crops. So farmers have preferred to
manure the cultivated crops and to
trust that enough fragments would
be left over to satisfy the less insis-
tent demands of the grass
Of late, however, more careful study
of the situation has led progressive
farmers to believe that the advantage
lies in reversal of this process. TO
give the grass and clover the best of
care and to feed them literally, allow
ing the neglect in feeding, if there be
any, to fail upon the titled crops. is
far better than it is to starye the
grass and put all the added fertility on
the cash" crop. Why? Because the
very root development and soil shad-
ing which have enabled the grass to
utilize so we'll the natural food in the
soil, also fit them together most com
pletely, and to use most efficiently the
scattered fertility which man distrib-
uces upon the fields.
With the added growth the grasses
make upon the extra supply of food,
there comes an increase in the mum
Der of roots to fill the soil with veg9t-
able matter and an increase in the
amount Of scattered leaves, broken
stems and refuse matter on the sur
facial Of which is of inestimable
advantage to subsequent crops. The
soil is thus made fine and porous; the
decay Of green vegetable matter forms
acids, which set free additional plant
food from the particles Of earth; and
the accumulated humus makes the
ground like a sponge to hold moisture
for the next crop. William S. Myers,
in the American Cultivator.

PIGS FOR PROFIT.

The man who raises pigs looks to
their product as a return for the labor
and money expended, his whole object
being to get at the least cost the great
est returns from a certain quantity of
food.
One must first select the animals
best suited for breeding purposes.
Those that grow quickly, mature early
and fatten easily are most desirable.
There are several breeds to select
from. I prefer the Duroc-Jersey. J.
always keep thoroughbred male hoe
and do not allow him with my sows
during the months Of August, Septem-
Der and October, as this time would
bring pigs in the cold winter months.
| keep the boar in good order, almost
fat, all the time, as he will produce
more vigorous pigs. The sow should
be treated in like manner until she is
about nine months old before she is
bred They should then have careful
attention, especially at narrowing time.
She should be kindly treated, proyid-
ed with good warm shelter in winter
and nice cool, shady place in sum
mer, and fed literally on nourishing
food, for she must sustain her own life
and that Of her pigs by the food she
eats. I feed my sows oats, bran, slop
and not much corn at narrowing time.
Corn is too heating. l give them a
good dry nest, always on the ground.
After they farrow I look to my pigs
for my profit. I feed but little the
first few days and never disturb the
nest. Give plenty of pure cool water
and keep up the same foods for sew
eral days.
l count the pigs just as SO many dol
lars, and teach the little fellows 20

Hoo 80 DAYS in a Wclt.

Howard G. Garrison, a prominent
farmer of this county, was in town
recently and had a remarkable Incl
dent to relate. On the night of tile
18th of June he lost a fine 300 pound
hog. He searched high and low, but
could not find trace Of the animal.
He finally gave up the hunt, coup
ling the disappearance Of the hog with
some emancipation day barbecue.
Some one had occasion to look in an
old dry well, ten or twelve deep and
100 or 200 yards from his house. At
the bottom he discovered the hog, APP
parently unhurt. 1t had been in the
we'll thirty-two days without food or
water.
Mr.. Garrison threw down an ear Of
corn, but the hog would not eat He
then lowered bucket Of milk and
bran mixture, which proved to be
more to his hcgship's taste. Mr.. Car
rison has decided to feed the hog
down in the well fer day or two,
and then raise it out by filling in the

WEEDS.

Nothing responds so quickly to fall
rains as the weeds. Meadows are COW
cred, clover fields become green, the
wheat or oat stubble are soon hidden
with the rapid growth of weeds
Weeds are expensive enemies in cul-
tivated lands. They get near the
growing corn and can only be routed
with the hoe, requiring a great amount
Of hand labor.
Weed destruction can be made much
cheaper where the moving machine is
made the tool for eradication. If the
mower is used in the fall, clipping the
fields before the seed natures, it is a
wholesale method of destroying not
only the present crop, but the field
in the future is made more nearly
clear of weeds. If clover has been
sown in the stubble, clipping the weed
forms winter protection for the
clover. and does not take plant food
and moisture, so much needed by

PROFIT IN HAND SEPARATOR.

PROFIT IN HAND SEPARATOR.
Hand separators average about $500
each, but this cost can be saved in a
year in any dairy where ten or more
COWS are kept; this has been demon
strated time and again, SO there is no
doubt about it, Manufacturers of sep
arators claim that the saving is about
ten dollars a COW per year and is based
on the fact that the cream is taken
from the milk while it is sweet, hence
there is no danger of it becoming sour,
and because of this almost perfect con-
dition the cream ripens more evenly
and, therefore, makes a better quality
of butter Again, as the separating is
done soon after milking the value of
the skim milk for feeding purposes is
greater, as it is usually given to young
stock while it still retains the animal
warmth. There is everything in favor
of the hand separator and nothing
against it, so that any man with
dairy of proper size, who does not
have a separator, is cheating himself
out Of just so much good profit.

cheaply done now than at any time OF

SUGGESTIONS TO SHEPHERDS.

SUGGESTIONS TO SHEPHERDS.
Sheep require variety OF food TO
form flesh and fat
With sheep, rather more than with
any other class of stock, care must be
taken not to cverfeed.
Oyerstocking is usually injurious TO
the sheep and ruinous to the farmer
Dryness is one of the requirements
in the production Of the finest grades
of wool.
No sheep should be allowed to die
of old age, but all should be fattened
and sent to market before their vital
ity has been impaired.
Sheep are naturally gregarious.
When one is seen by itself something
is evidently wrong.
In commencing to fatten sheep, the
feeding should not be crowded at first,
but gradually increase the amount of
the ration.

Mississippi State News
For Better Public Highways.

One of the most important topics
for discussion at the meeting Of the
Mississippi Business Mems League
to be held in Jackson July 81 and
22 will be the subject of good roads,
and much interest is being mani
tested in the conclusions that will
be reached by the convention.
Addresses on this topic will be
delivered by Prof. Hutchinson OF
the Mississippi experiment station;
Maj. Dabney, chief engineer OF the
upper levee board, and Mr.. Mayes
of the Southern railway. These
three speakers will discuss the varr
Gus phases of road building and
highway improvement.
In 1900 the legislature enacted a
contract road law, under the terms
of which it was believed that the
cause of good roads would be given
quite a stimulus. The measure,
while it has undoubtedly caused
some improvement in the sys-
tenn of public highways, has not
fulfilled expectations, and in some
counties where adopted it has been
quite unsatisfactory, although the
dissatisfaction is perhaps due more
largely to differences between con-
tractors and boards of supervisors
than any defect in the law.
Shortly following the enactment
Of the contract road law some inter
est and enthusiasm was stirred up
and the Mississippi Good Roads AS
ISOLATION was organized. But the
association held only one meeting
and has passed out of existence so
far as any p%retext to stimulate IN
terest in road building is concerned.
The officers and members doubtless
arrived at the conclusion that they
were engaged in a thankless task,
and it is unquestionably true that
thew met with but little encourage
ment from the boards Of supervisors,
who ought to take the initiative IN
such matters.
The Mississippi Business Mems
League proposes to take up the
cause of highway improvement
where the Mississippi Good Roads
Association left off, and to wage
an energetic campaign through its
members in the various counties to
induce the boards Of supervisors to
spend more money on the roads. A
commendable step in this direction
has just been taken by Chickasaw
county, where the sum of $4,000
was appropriated to be used on the
public roads.
