. HOG CHOLERA INSURANCE.:


F. We offer the suggestion. one which
we have never seen advocated, that it
might prove feasible and practical to
organize hog cholera mutual insurance
companies. The record of this disease
covering a period Of, twenty-five years
shows thatf tt is seldom If ever general
in it's visitations so far as q state is
concerned even in the worst years
many localities being entirely exempt
It is not likely that any method of alb
s0lute prevention or cure will ever be
found, and it is absolutely certain that
SO long as hogs are raised as at the
present time the liability to the disease
will always be present. Men who are
engaged in the hog business would. we
think, gladly meet the assessments if
they could be assured of indemnity for
their own losses when visited by the
disease. The same uncertain elements
and destructive results obtain in Wis
itations. of hog cholera which are asso-
ciated with fire and hailstornns, the
losses by which are now we'll guarded
against by reliable mutual insurance.
We should like to have this thing talk
ed up in the farm Institutes this win
ter.
VALUE OF TREES ON THE FARM.
Cross section 100 acre farm into
four forty acre fields and plant a row
of trees six feet apart on each fence
line, and you will have nine acres of
timber, allowing the trees the use Of a
rod and half in width on which to
grow. It is a fact that farm so divided
and planted with trees will, one year
with another, produce bigger and better
crops than the same farm all cultivated
and exposed. Then there is the protec-
ton thus afforded from blistering hot
winds and summer storm winds which
PROSTATE the growing crops, the winter
SHOWS are thus permitted to lie undts-
turbed on the fields, abundant shade is
furnished for the stock, the windfalls
and trimmings will furnish plenty of
fuel for the cook stove. and, more than
.all, an aesthetic beauty is given to the
landscape which is a constant delight
both winter and summer. What trees
to. plant? Well. any kind is better than
none Plant white ash. elm, black wal
nut, larch, soft maple, willow, any
thing but box elder, or you might plant
apple trees or evergreens. -..~ u. ri.

We rode by a Ave acre grove Of Scotch
pines located out on the prairie few
mornings ago just as it was getting
light. It was. the roosting place of all
the crows of that section, and they fair
~ swarmed out of the pines as we
went by. If we owned the grove, which
is valuable one, these birds would get
out Of it and stay out. for If allowed to
roost there in such vast numbers their
droppings will ultimately kill the trees.
. Here is a hard case. A tame deer es-
capped from it's Enclosure in Iowa and
went foraging around the country.
Somebody saw it and, Of course, tried
to kill it. but only severely wounded it.
Later four men found the poor animal
lying almost dead and mercifully put 1t
out Of its misery. As soon as their act
was known they were all arrested for
killing deer out of season and were all
fined. In this case at least the law be-
came a roaring farce in the effort to
maintain it's dignity. - - VIZ ..

A move IS on foot in some STATES to
secure special legislation to exempt the
horses and rigs Of rural mail carriers
from taxation. This would be but a
petty relief, not over 81 per year. The
government should raise their wages

would be fairly satisfactory .compen-

There Is this to be said in favor of
devoting portion Of the average farm
to timber culture-that while from the
money standpoint alone it may not pay
as well to grow trees as field crops it is
also incontestably true that nine out of
ten farmers have more land than they
can probably work, and the assign
ment of, say, ten acres on the 100 acre
farm for timber culture is thus made
entirely possible. Far better farm less
acres better and grow trees. - - -
