Supt. Carswell welcomed the visitors
and Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer spoke at
length of the mission. The opening
was an occasion for congratulation, he
said. Nine months ago, the first Sun
day-school of the mission was held at
the home of one of the members. A
building had not been thought of then.
The comfortable and commodious
structure is now almost finished, so
near that it is being used. The mis-
sion is not ar object of charity, said
Mr.. Van Deventer. A great many
things have been given the mission,
but they were voluntarily donated. He
said the mission felt particularly CRATE
full to the Eagle Manufacturing Com
pany. the Mill Haven Company, John
J. McDonough, Jacob Paulsen, S. L.

plans for the building and Mr.. Floyd,
who superintendent its construction
Mrs. Brodie and Mrs. Zetrouer were
also thanked for donations TO the mis-
sion. The former gave a handsome

said the building Of the church would

One of the new ways of doing things
on the farm that will recommend itself
to all farmers is the method now in
vogue in some localities of butcher
ing the hogs. A New York state man
says:
The practice of skinning hogs has
grown and spread in this county I'M
til not more than 10 per cent. of all
the butchering done is by the old
fashioned way of scalding. Thirty
years ago hog skinning was practiced
by only one man in this county and
that on a limited scale. The demand
for his services increased SO that he
was obliged to take a partner, and yet
another, until now there are dozens of
men who make it their sole business
for six or seven months of the year.
| The butcher takes the skin for pay,
and he can take off from ten to TWEEN
ty-five per day according to the dis
lance he has to drive to get them,
and they are worth from so cents to
81 each. 1t is remunerative business.
From the standpoint of the owner of
the hog it is a good thing, too. Be
fore the advent of the skinner a big
iron kettle had to be procured in which
to heat the water, hogshead or tub
in which to scald the porker, a plat
form built on which to lay the ami
NAL while the hair was scraped off
the water carried and heated to the
boiling point. These preparations took
the best part of the forenoon. If the
hogs were large and heavy, or there
were many of them to kill, help had
to be secured from a neighbor, and
that meant extra meals for the good
housewife to get, besides the work of
cleaning the fat from the stomach
and intestines, which always used to
fall to woman's share of the butcher
ing. Let me urge every farmers wife
to protest-to rebel If necessary
against that part of the work. Cut
ting and trying the lard, making sau-
sage and head cheese, and other neces-
sary work incident to butchering is all
that should be required of the house
wife, and the steaming intestines of
the hog should be left outside the
kitchen. 1t is not fit work for a wom-
an.
Now, the butcher will drive into the
yard, catch, kill, skin, clean the in
wards and hang up half dozen hogs
in two or three hours. There is no
water to heat, no mess to clean up,
no extra help to hire and feed. The
loss in weight is slight, from five to
fifteen pounds, according to the size
of the hog, but the butcher will pay
half cent more per pound for pork
skinned to cut up on the block and
for home use it is decidedly better
This practice seems to be only local.
for the Secretary of the State, Grange
told me not long since that he had
travelled all over the state, but he
never heard of such a thing as skin
ming a hog outside of Yates county
There is a good opening in every sec
ton for butcher to take up this
business. 1t might take a little time
to educate the people to it, but not
nearly so long as 1t would to induce
the people of this county to revert
to the old practice of hog scalding.

FARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.

The fisld should be furrowed at about
five feet apart and the root cuttings
dropped into the burrows and covered
two or three inches deep. A little white
clover and Bokhara clover seed plant
ed at the same time will give an agree
able variety to the pasture. The field
should not be pastured until the grass
has run through the vacant spaces. If
the land is very poor, nitrate of soda
at the rate of 100 pounds per acre
should be applied at time of setting
the grass, or as soon as growth beglns.
In any case an abundant supply OF
lime, potash and phosphoric acid must
be furnished. All worn cotton soils in
the upland region are deficient in lime
Without this no clover will succeed.
Potash is best supplied to such soils IN
the form of kainit A good fertilizer
is kainit and acid phosphate in equal
quantities. OF the mixture apply as a
top dressing every spring about o0J
pounds per acre. About September l
of each year broadcast upon the Ber-
muda sod about AZ pounds of crimson
clover seed in chaff for each acre OF
pasture. No coverings or preparation
for the clover seed are necessary. BY
taking stock off from the pasture
March Is till May Is, two tons of hay
can be harvested. The pasture herein
described may be still further improved
for hogs by broadcasting upon it about
one ounce per acre of the seeds of
parsley, thyme and sage-plants OF
which hogs are fond. The flavor OF
these herbs will give a 'gamey" flavor

About narrowing Corn.

Many farmers read with surprise the
statement that a harrow can be run
across young corn without damage to
the crop, says an exchange. Try it and
see. 1t is better to use the iron
toothed harrow with teeth slanting
backward at an angle of As degrees. 1t
is remarkable how much work three
section harrow will do in a cornfield in
one day during the early spring sea-
son. Harrow corn just as it comes
through the ground. Harrow cross
wise again within a week. In some
cases it is necessary to weight the har-
row. A seventy-five or ninety-tooth
harrow will cover fifteen acres of corn
with a slow team and twenty acres If
the team is a quick stopper. If doubt
full about the use of the harrow on
your particular corn crop, take it out
and run it for twenty-five feet and test
the work done by pulling at every stalk
passed over to find whether or not the
roots still hold. Narrowing will lay
the crop down for day or two, but
it soon straightens. Narrowing kills
weeds and destroys young grass, let's
the air into the ground and is the best
possible method of cultivating young
corn until the crop reaches eight or
ten inches in hight. Use the harrow
on corn.

TO FIGHT DODGE WILL.
Sensational Charges by Relatives OF
Jacksonville Woman.

Jacksonville, Fla. May 15.-Rev. An
gus A. Macdonald, of Bar Harbor,
Ne, will not get possession of the half
a million dollar estate left him by the
late Mrs. Abbie r. Dodge, of this city
without a fight in the courts. The rel
atives of Mrs. Dodge filed yesterday
with the Probate judge of this county
petition. asking that the will be set
aside and declared null and void.
The petitioners are Eliza Lowell Ha-
ley, of Bucksport, Me, a sister of the
deceased; Kinney c. Lowell, of Boston,
brother; Mary r. Lowell, of Bucks
port, a sister; Abram Lowell, of Alb
ram. Wis. a brother, and Charles H
Sweetser. of San de Fuce, Wash, a
nephew.
They allege that at the time the will
was made the testatrix was mentally
incapable of executing such docu-
ment, as she had been in failing health
for two years. and was mentally in
such condition as not to know or be
aware of what she was doing. The Pc
tition alleges undue influence over Mrs
Dodge.
1t is alleged that the deceased was
always on friendly and affectionate
terms with her relatives. frequently
visited them, and sixty days prior to
her death had stated that she had
made a will making ample provision
for her relatives, and had left part of
her estate to her partner in the hotel
business. Frank T. Cullens of Florida
In the will filed for probate Cullens
was only left a pair of diamond ear
rings and a diamond ring.

Profitable HOG Raising.

After being in the hog business fol
several years 1 now breed registered
Duroc-Jersey swine. They are good
pork hogs and first class lard hogs, says
farmer in Home and Farm. They
lose less in dressing than any other
hog; they are very prolific breeders
and good suckers; little attention at
narrowing times saves all of the litter
often fifteen in number; they mature
early, fatten at any age on less
feed than any other hog, not uncom-
mon for them to weight ESQ
pounds at six of seven months
old; they impress their good qualities
on other breeds; they are good graz
ers; it does not take a ten-rail fence
and it staked and ridered with a few
heavy logs on top to confine them;
they have large bones and are easily
driven to market; are very gentle and
do not eat chickens. No department of
the farm will return greater revenue
for the care, breeding and feeding than
the swine department, and no other is
more likely to be neglected, There has
been so much improvement in the va
rious breeds of swine that no farmer
should ever use anything but the best
blood his means will allow.
In caring for hogs have a good place
for them, a few old planks nailed on
the northside of a good top of cane or
wheat straw is better than a wire
fence. Look after the sows 106 days
after being bred. Build the sow a
pen where you expect her to farrow
and she will get used to her quarters
At Ill days. if she has not farrowed
keep your lantern handy and watch
after her. Don't give her anything to
eat unless it be a little weak slop or
water for at least twenty-four hours
after narrowing.

Table Squash.

This class of garden crops, including
also pumpkins, do best on a rich,
loamy soil, although fair crops can be
produced on land of moderate quality.
says the Farmers Review. If the
plot intended for this crop is not
naturally rich, add large quantities
of well-rotted stable manure. There is
little danger of getting too much
Spread before starting to prepare the
land. then pillow deep, turning the
manure under carefully. Harrow well
so as to firm and pulverize the soil. If
sod land Is available use it for the
squash or pumpkin patch. The large
supply of vegetable matter in new land
is just what crops of this kind need.
The planting should be delayed until
danger from late frosts has disap-
peared and the soil is well warmed.
Your squash plants are sensitive to
cold. Plant about six seeds in hills
eight feet apart, each way for the large
kinds and five feet for the smaller
varieties. When the crop is well start
ed, thin to two or three strong, Wig
orous plants in each hill.
If very early squashes are wanted,
the seed may be started in a hotbcd
Some of the insect pests, notably the
striped beetle, will be avoided. Consid-
planting to prevent a very serious set
back. The best plan is to sink paste
board or thin wooden boxes, like those
in which strawberries are picked, and
plant the seed in these. The boxes can
then be lifted out and the plants set in
the open without disturbing the soil
about the roots. The plans go right
along without any check.
Summer crookneck, Boston narrow
and any of the summer scalloped will
give satisfaction. For winter, nothing
is better than the old-fashioned stand
by Hubbard. Winter crookneck is one
of the hardest and one of the best
keepers, but is not of the best quality.
Essex hybrid is a squash of very high
quality. The grain is very fine and
the flavor high. 1t is also a good
keeper. Marblehead is much like the
Hubbard, but is considered superior
to it in many respects. The flesh is
somewhat thinner. 1t, however, is a
good yielder.

Hog Pastures.

A bulletin of the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station SAYS:
In many parts of the South cotton
has, on account of the almost total dis
appearance of vegetable matter from
the soil. ceased to yield satisfactory
crops of lint. In some nelghborhoods
soil or rot parasite has lately at
tackled the crop and threatened to make
it impossible to grow cotton on such
fields. What to do with fields which
can no longer grow cotton is a serious
problem.
Very few cotton farmers grew the
bacon consumed by themselves and
their hands Still fewer grow the for
age required by their stock. A natural
and promising use for such sick cotton
fields is to turn them into pastures for
hogs. mules and other stock. Cotton
is commonly grown upon light, sandy
loan. Such soil in the hot and
droughty climate of the cotton region
will not grow the tame era sses es-
teemed in the North. But in Bermuda
grass the Southern farmer has a per-
ennial grass of the best quality and
one that will grow upon any soil that
will grow cotton. With Bermuda grass
for summer and crimson clover for
winter pasture, the SOUTHERN IdIIfleT
may have an all-the-year-round pas
ture that should carry ten medium
weight pigs all the time.
In the United States north of Flor
ida, Bermuda grass does not bear seed.
The grass is propagated by root cut
tings. Three barrels of these will plant
one acre. The grass is so common
along roadsides that the roots can usu-
ally be had for the gathering. A Ber-
muda pasture may be set at any time
of the year. But early spring is best.

1t is stated that they cannot live

FRUIT NEEDS RAIN.
Florida Crops Suffering for Want
of II.

Gambler, Fla, May 15.-Prof. j. Y.
Mckinney shipped the first peaches of
this season yesterday. They were OF
the Jewell variety. In a week or ten
days the movement of fruit will begin
in earnest. The crop is of excellent
quality and growers are expecting
good prices.
The extreme dry weather continues
and crops of all kinds are suffering.
Cotton is a very poor stand and dry
weather and cool nights greatly retard
the growth of the plant. Melons are
standing the drought fairly WELL but
warmer weather and more moisture is
needed. Very little rain has fallen
through this section since middle of
February.
A great deal of young oranges and
grapefruit has fallen, but still there is
a good crop on the trees, and if rain
comes soon the orange crop will be
heavy here.
Strawberries were almost a failure.
and the home market is being sup
piled from Hawthorne and Starke.

Viking seeds OF pinerent Varieties.


Where the object is to grow vegeta-
bles for home use or for market and
the saving of pure seed no considera-
tion it is a good plan with a number
of vegetables to mix seeds of several
kinds together. For instance, mix three
different kinds of English peas, an
early kind, a medium early and a late.
The peas will come on in succession
and the vines of the early maturing
will act as a mulch to the later kind.
Especially with turnips and beets will
this mixing several kinds increase the
crop greatly.
In turnips mixing equal parts of Flat
Dutch, Cowhorn, Yellow Aberdeen and
Rutabaga we'll together will yield a
crop in the end so per cent greater
than with any one kind. If the seeds
are not sown too thickly there need be
no thinning until the first two-Flat
Dutch and Cowhorn-are large enough
for table use, when they can be drawn
out and the soil left to the other la
ter maturing kinds.
In beets it is desirable to mix equal
parts of the early turnip shaped with
the long blood and the half long. Mix
well together and SOW evenly, not more
than eight or ten seeds to the running
foot. There will be no need to thin
out until the early sorts are large
enough for use. The same method APP
plies to all of the root crops.
With the beets mixed or not radish
seeds may always be sown to advan
tage along in the same furrow with
the beet seed, sowing thinly, not more
than four or five seeds to the foot. The
radish plants are up in a few days and
mark the rows so that cultivation can
proceed without danger of covering
the young beets. These should be
drawn out as soon as large enough.
In sowing field peas for improving
the soil or even for hay or pasture it
is also we'll to mix two or three kinds
together whether drilled or sown
broadcast. The Whipporwill the black
pea and the Wonderful together will
make more vegetable matter than just
one kind would.
In planting corn for roasting ears
the crop of ears is considerably in
creased by mixing two or three differ
ent kinds together. in this case rows
of a kind should alternate instead of
mixing the seeds together before
planting.
