HOG RAISING on THE FARM.

In choosing brood sows for the pro.
duction of pork, it is a very important
matter to select from prolific and
strong legs and good feet. The indi-
viduals selected should be rather
rangy, with a straight back. broad
and deep body. 1t is not a bad plan
to notice whether she has twelve de.
veloped teats. Do not breed them be-
fore they are eight months old. but
feed them well before and after breed
ing so that they may become vigorous
and well developed.
The boar. as is usually said, is hall
of the herd; therefore. great care must
be exercised in his selection. In the
first place, he should be 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.

All That Hanas Over Your Own.

A writer in the National Stockman
thus sums mp what sometimes proves
a knotty law problem:
Some people seem to be slow to
learn that all of tree and all the
fruit it bears over another lot belongs
to the man over the line just as COM
pletely as II the tree stood over on
his land. This is not only statute
law of every state, but is just and
right. All that extends over the line,
root and top, belongs to the man that
owns the land. He may. If he
chooses, cut away Nl the branches
that hang over the line. He may, if
he chooses, cut away all the roots
that extend through on his land. From
time immemorial this has been the
law. All reasonable men can see the
import Of it and will approve Of the
law"

IcE-CoLD STORAGE HOUSE.

While many farmers consider an ice
house luxury that is not lor them,
building may be erected at small
cost, and if the ice can be had for the
cutting and drawing. it will be found
profitable. Even in sections where
ice is scarce such a structure would
be worth all it cost to a fruit grower
who desired TO hold back his prod
ucts in cold storage. 10 make the
house cheap, build of any lumber OBJ
tainable, the essential thing being to
have it with an inner wall foot from
the outer wall. and this space filed
in hard with sawdust, straw, leaves or
any similar material. Then pack on

TEST NEW STRAWBERRIES.

Some time ago we called attention 10
the value of pot-grown plants in order
TO have fruit the following summer.
says the indianapolis News, and the
matter is brought up now to induce
growers TO test the new varieties by
setting plants this month. In many
cases Il dozen of the new sorts pot
grown will cost as much MS n thousand
layer plants of the old sorts, but the
pot-grown plants set in the summer
will give you fruit next season, and
you will have pretty good test of the
variety. During twenty years of
strawberry growing the writer has
never failed each summer 10 set few
pot-grown plants of the new sorts,
which. from the catalogue description,
seemed suited to our soil and other con-
ditions. and it has paid, With but two
exceptions varieties rejected or added
to the plantation have proved them
selves to be what the pot-grown plants
indicated. Some ten years ago we
tested. in this way, certain variety
and discarded It, Neighbors, in the
next two years, bought and planted
heavily of the sort and afterward
plowed them under. The description
was enticing. but this and the illustra-
tons represented fruit grown under
vastly different conditions than those
with us. 1t pays TO have the test

separated on the farms. In the older
dairy districts this change is coming
more slowly; men are more conserva-

SHEEP SHEARING.

Shearing the sheep should not be
done while the nights are cold, unless
they are put up at night in warm
place, nor should shearlng be delayed
too late. as the wool will begin tC
come out. The sheep is very tender
animal, and sudden change given
during damp or inclement weather
