WHY JACK FRosT's WORK DR.
EERS IN SPOTS.

Every Northern farmer has gone in
after the first killing frost to find
parts of the vegetation killed, while
patches here and there were seem
ingly unaffected. 1t is often the case
that within a single acre a dozen
small areas may be found unframed
by the nights temperature, while all
around the injury is fatal.
There are several reasons which
contribute to such a result, the princi-
pal one being the difference of the
radiating powers of the various soils
that make up the OutcrOp. Dark soils
radiate heat more rapidly at night
than light ones, and heat up CORE
spondingly quicker under the in
fiuence of the suns rays. The char
acter of foliage of the plants, the
amount of moisture in the air, the
presence of clouds and the elevation
of the field all have their effect.
1t is well known that frost is much
more likely to occur on a still, clear
night than on a windy night or one
which is cloudy. Every farmer also
knows that the lowest temperatures
are reached in the valleys at night,
because the cool air nearest the
earth, being heavy, seeks the lowest
levels and flows down the hillside in
to the valley. Every truck farmer
should take these factors into CON
sideration in deciding what he will
plant on his lanG, giving the most
favorable locations to the plants most
susceptible to injury from frost.

WINTER PROTECTION FROM
MICE AND RABBITS.

The common and best way of rab-
bit-proOfing trees is to wrap the
-odies with some fibrous substance or
wire screening. Yet even here there
is danger, for when tarred paper is
used the trees are apt to suffer in
jury, if the paper is not removed in
the spring. Rags and grass are good
materials. but when used they Wal
need more or less repairing every
year-and it is best to emOve them
each spring. Lath and cOrnstalks are
excellent materials for wrapping
trees. though the former costs icOnsid-
cradle and the latter requires a great
amount of work to prepare and apply.
We have used cOrnstalks extensively
and regard them as the second best
material for protecting trees from
rabbits. Cut them long enough to
reach from the ground to the lower
limbs and tie them around the trunk
with binding Irvine. There is no ex-
pense attached to this method, for the
Irvine can be saved at threshing time.
and where corn is raised in the or
chard it is little trouble to provide
the stalks. These will last two years
and will afford protection against the
hungry mice and rabbits"

HOW TO DOUBLE FARM PROFITS.

The hog farmers and breeders want
large litters of pigs; cattlemen, big
calves; hOrsemen. big colts: sheep
men, strong lambs. They all want
them to come with large frames, well.
developed bones. muscles. tendons
and a well-rOunded form of lean meat
With these conditions good health, Q
rugged constitution and great activity
always are present. If these cOndi
ions are followed with proper feed
and skillful feeding the result Is the
young stock comes to an early maturi
ty with large frame structures, built
upon strong bones, muscles and ten,
dons, and the final result is that when
the time comes to finish out these
youngsters they have the strength OF
frame and body to carry the meat and
fat that rounds out their forms and
makes large animals of their several
kinds that bring top prices on the
markets. On the other hand, the ami
NAL born with small bones, flabby
muscles and tendOns inherits a weak
constitution and makes a second-class
animal that sells at a way-down price.

STOCK RAISING AND FERTILITY.

We often hear people say that live
stock cannot be raised at a profit ON
high-priced land. One hundred dol.
lars per acre is high-priced land.
High-priced land cannot remain high
priced unless live stock is q promi-
nent feature of the farm. saws Farm
and Ranch. Some years ago New
England farmers came to the coz
clusiOn that land was too dear for
stock raising. and they quit the stock
business and engaged in special crop
farming. The result was poverty
stricken farmers and abandoned
farms all Owe that section. They
thought that with special crops and
chemical fertilizers they could do bet.
ter than by raising live stock. but
they made a fatal mistake. The chemi-
cal fertilizers gave heavy yield for q
few years. and finally they refused to
take hold and the soil became bar
rem. Twenty-Five hundred years ago
the Romans understood that no sys-
tenn of farming could be made per-
manently profitable unless animals
were bred and fed on the farm: and
the same fact has been demonstrated
all through the intervening ages until
the good year 1903. But people con
tinue to make the same mistake their
fathers made. and when land reaches
a value of 500 per acre, abandon
stock farming, and the land inevita-
bly, ~depreciates in value. In Europe
dairying and beef and mutton pro-
ducing are the most profitable meth
DDS of farming on land worth from
5000 to $500 per acre.

Whenever a rogue or a set of
rogues devise a scheme by which to
get money they almost invariably
strike for rural communities. They
take in small towns and the country.
They reason that in small towns ev.
erybOdy loafs about the store, black
smith shop OF mill and does not keep
posted on fakes and fakirs. and that
farmers do not have time to read. A
new scheme Matched up by the fakirs
is to ride about the country and claim
royalties or damages from farmers fOl
using machines and co~ntrivances OF
homemade patterns under the hypO-
thesis that such things are patented
and therefore the users are amenable
to them and the laws. These fellows
are merely trying to get snap judg.
ment on a bluff.

PRUNING n ROSE.

Pruning is an important matter in
rose growing. Climbing and pillar
roses will usually need cutting bach
about one-fourth OF One-third, accord
ing to the vigor of the branches, eth
er in the spring or fall. A slight cut
ting back also after their June flow
ering in the case of the remontants
will encourage more flowers. Severe
pruning, however. will only induce
the growth of vigorous leafy shoots
without flowers. The ever blooming
roses will need to have all dead wood
removed at the time of uncoverins
them in spring. Some ls'uning during
the summer is also useful in encour
aging growth and flowers. The strong
er branches which have lowered may
be cut back one-half or more. The
rule in trimming roses is cut back
weak growing kinds severely, strone
growers moderately.

In marketing the farm crops and
stock. there is opportunity for i'm.
provement among many farmers. Mar
ket and crop reports should be
studied and a familiarity with the fu-
ture outlook should be cOurted. Just
when to sell and when not to sell,
are questions that can best be an
swered by a familiarity with what is
transpiring in the great market cen
ters. AS in marketing fruit, vegeta
bles poultry, etc., from the farm, the
successful marketing of stock de
ponds upon having the best, and send.
ing it to the market in the very best
possible condition. Our most ucces
full stock men have regulations
established at the stOckyards in our
stock markets, and when a carload of
stock is expected from them there are
always plenty of buyers.

A GOOD

Fruit and poultry make a good COM
bination. The fowls aid you in a fight
against insect pests and also much
fruit that would be otherwise wasted
is made to be Of value to the chick
ems.
But We do not believe there is any
enlightened farmer anywhere that
needs an argument to tell him that
poultry raising is profitable, but there
might be some that think the labor
connected Herewith, is greater than
the compensation. If they would only
think. however, that the profit.
though slight, is nearly all clear gain.
End that though it comes in very
small quantities, it comes very regu-
'arly, every day, every week, and ey.
cry month of the year. and that in the
aggregate it amounts to a large. sum
f money, enough in fact to pay the
grocery bill Of the ordinary farm.

Change.
Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. lis Coates
street, Moberiy, Mo-, is today a picture Of
robust health. and yet five years 2 she
barely escaped death from progressive
enaciation. To a reporter: she told the
following story:
lin 1896 l began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
TWO years. Ny stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally SO delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept NE in bed most Of the time / was
really starvingto death and besides l was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good. and prescribed exercise
which l was too weak to. attempt.
"One day when 1 was so faint and
chilled that could do nothing but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought me a box of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. really felt better
Litter three doses and l kept on using
them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit Of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
l65 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that / was wasting to
death before, were astonished AT the
change. Presumed my Homework and
have hardly had occasion to call Il doctor
:. since l have recommended DIR. Will
lilms' Pink Pills to several friends, and
l say T. the pai., thin one particularly,
If You wan to get strong and Well take

These pills care stomach trouble by
their tonic action, building up the di-
gestive organs and enabling them to do
the work that nature intended. them to
do. They are sold by all dealers, or will

The principles We have always fol-
lowed is that when hogs are ready to
go let them 60, writes an experienced
breeder. The higher the price the
more profit can be made in feeding
heavy hogs, but We would not think
OF growing hogs over $50 pounds IN
less We had no youngsters coming on.
We believe that when shogs are 4
cents and under the proper weight at
which to sell them is IFS pounds:
when they are 5 cents. 200 pounds;
when they are 6 cents, 225 pounds;
and when they are Z cents, $50

High prices have been prevailing
for pork for a long period: in fact.
they have been abnormally high.
This cannot, of course, be expected to
continue indefinitely. This fear. how
ever, should not deter any one from
growing a considerable number of
hogs. Even at prices reduced fully
one-third, the farmer could afford to
grow swine and then have consider
