LIGHT AND HEAVY HOGS.

is not an unusual condition for that

cooler weather the heavy. fat hog he.

that some lighter and leaner hogs

OUR BEST APPLES.

In parts of our country where apple
raising has in recen years become an
important industry the tendency has
been to restrict the selection to but
few varieties. and it is noticeable that
Ben Davis occupies a very prominent
place in all these commercial orch
ards.
While Ben Davis is no doubt n OF
our very best commercial apples. it is
largely due to its color and good ship
ping qualities. In our opinion there
are other varieties like GanO. Grimes
Golden and Jonathan which can be
grown with as great success, and be
made just as remunerative to orchard
hts.
The fact that some growers hap
pen to do better with one variety Of
apple. or other fruits. than another is
not proof that that one variety is bet
ler adapted to their particular soil. To-
cation. etc. Sometimes a bad year
will destroy one variety and not an
other. Therefore. it is not wisdom to
plant of only one variety. but Of sew
cral. SO that il one fails from weak
ness Of blossom. or blossoms too early
and is hurt by frost. that some other
variety may thrive and do well.
The above mistake is often made.
but generally results from too narrow
experience. and from drawing conclu-
siOns from limited knowledge and ex-
perience in this line.

GA ALTERING AND SAVING SEED

n saving seed corn is Us follows:
In the fall. when | husk my corn. |
attach a bushel box to the front end
OF the wagOn-bed. and into this box
throw all the best lars | find. as |
husk each load. After unloading at
the crib the ears in the boxes are put
in a dry shed. under a good roof. Each
subsequent bOxful is taken care Of in
the same way. and by the time the
crop Is husked out l have gathered
through this box from twenty to TWEEN
ty-five bushels Of select ears. and have
my seed corn for the next seasO
picked out. And the beauty of this
method is l have the cream Of the
crop.
Some farmers object to this method.
saying II takes too much time at a
busy season. True enough. but aft
er all. in selecting good seed. time
spent in doing SO is not wasted: n
n time it takes to fill and refill the
seed-cOrn O never will be missed in
the wind-up Of the husking season. |

A hundred years ago two German
chemists found sugar in the grape. and
in q few years later a Russian found
it in starch. and moreover. found
starch sugar to DO identical with
grape sugar. To make glucose or
grape sugar the starch is treated with
muriatic acid. under pressure, the acid
is neutralized by carbonate Of soda.
The acid is affixed to the sodium,
forming common salt, and every trace
Of the carbonic acid remaining is car
ried OF. BY a varying temperature,
pressure anG degree of acidity q va
riety of sugars car be produced.
When the acid treatment or CONVEX
sion" is carried to the farthest. grape
sugar is produced. When the action
is less complete. a thick. cOlorless
syrup. called glucose. is produced. To
make a table syrup OF glucose, 10 per
cent Of cane syrup. sorghum or mo-
iasses is added to give it the desired
color and favor.

The production Of n soil is gov
erned by the supply Of any one of the
principal three constituents Of plant
food. i. g. nitrogen. phOsphOric acid
and potash. 4 soil may be rich in
potash and phOsphares and if deficient
in nitrogen will produce poor crOps.
The addition of large quantities OF Il
fertilizer containing only potash and
phOsphOric acid would not increase
the productive capacity Of such a
soil. 30 il phosphates and nitrogen
are plentiful but potash largely lack
ing the results will he the same.
Plants require all three OF these foods
In large quantities. and the successful
farmer must know what his soil needs.
