Proper and good motherhood may
be developed in swine, and when q
sow shows the proper tendencies, ev-
cry encouragement should be given her,
and she should be retained at her good
work Of multiplying her tribe until
her ability to continue is affected by
old age The Office Of such good moth
erhood consists Of more than simply
bringing forth large litters of pigs.
The litters should be uniform in the
size of the individuals, and the latter
should be thrifty, which would indi-
cate that the dam is a good mixer.
She should be gentle and not easily
excited, and be so much OF the dairy
type" that she would have capacity
for consuming plenty Of feed and turn
ing it into milk, and not make her
own body round and fat with it.
Whether she shall mother pigs that are
good, thrifty and profitable until the
end Of their days at market will OF
course require some time to determine.
and if the determination shall be in
her favor it should be equal to an in
surance Of long and carefully-tended
life. She can not be judged without
trial, neither can she nor any of her
successors be expected to do profitable
work as mothers while in the growing
period of their own immaturity. There
fore, if by reason Of inheritance from
a good mother and a good paternal
grandmother the young SOW should be
a good mother, before condeming her
give her the chance of maturity.-W.

by his thrift and economy he always

planted his crops and then, perhaps
through the insuficiency Of his fenced

others, would break in and greatly
damage or destroy his crops. He might
have repaired his fences-only that he
did not have time; he had to work for
Jones or Smith for present necessities.
while his crops were being destroyed.
Then when his crops ripcned and were
ready to harvest, he could not Gre for
them properly for want Of time. When
he had anything. he was wasteful and
careless of it to the last degree. When
anything was needing doing, he usual
ly could not attend to it, and as re-
suit he never had sufilciency. Indeci-

HERE AND THERE.

-Well-fed sheep always produce the
most and best wool. Softness and pill
ancy of wool usually correspond in q
degree with fineness.
The south is being filled with pro-
gressive and prosperous farmers, and
commerce and agriculture are sure to
keep pace with each other An era OF
rapid development is at hand.
1t is not a good idea to give the
sitting hen soft feed, as it is liable to
cause bowel trouble. Corn and wheat
are the best foods, and should be given
once a day with fresh water.
However simple a matter farming
NAV seem to the city-bred man, he
will find when he undertakes 1t that
practical knowledge counts. What the
practical farmer knows, he knows to
a certainty.
The craze for orchard-planting is
on the increase. Many thousands OF
trees will be planted this pring. The
nurserymen need not worry over the
future demand for more trees. They
have a powerful ally in the San Jose
scale.
There is no dearth Of opportunities
for young men and young women in
the cotton-growing states The oppor-
tunities are there, and they should be
seized at once. Modest investments
judiciously made will parallel those in
far more remote sections of our coun-
try.
ALI immoderate claims must arouse
suspicion. Experienced cultivators
usually hesitate to place much conf
dence in self-styled "small-fruit
princes" strawberry kings" ETC., or
in seedsmen who claim to be the only
ones worth trusting.
In the month Of January, 1904,
sheep to the number Of 36,Sss and val
ued at $241,1ss were exported. as
against 1858 sheep, of the value OF

FEEDING CATTLE.
The Southwest Has Now Become the
Great Tkenter of Farm RAISED
and Fed Cattle.

The vigorous and hearty condition OF
Texas steers make of them the best
feeders In the world. Many young
yearling steers weigh a thousand
mounds after a few months care and
feeding. Profits come from the rapid
gains and the high price per pound.
To secure these rapid gains, two con-
ditions must be supplied-well-bred
stock and continuous feed supply. Both
of these are in reach of every land
owner in the southwest.
The southwest has now reached a
stage where the greatest profit per
head is found in farm-fed cattle. The
strong export demand for cotton seed
meal combined with its liberal use
by northern and western stock men,
creates good price for this once cheap
cattle feed. When combined with farm
feed. cotton seed meal is still the
cheapest material afforded by the mar
kets of the world. The farmer who
lives near a cotton seed oil mill can
buy cotton seed meal at several dol
lars per ton less than people of the
north and west. This same farmer
grows more feed stuff per acre on un-
irrigated land than any farmer in the
world. Rich, virgin soils and the long
growing season enable him to accom-
plisn both these things.
Cattle on the western ranges must
be fed milo maize, Kaffir corn, alfalfa
and Johnson gress more freely than
heretofore. The wide-awake farmer
living in the cattle region will do well
to visit the stock yards and select
few good feeders In which to market
his surplus hay and grain, even though
a small bit of cotton seed meal must
be purchased to go with these home
products. Here is diversified stock
farming yielding double profit. When
good cattle are selected the hay fed to
them returns $14 to $40 per ton, If we
count the grain consumed at market
price. 1t is the roughness, not the
grain, that determines the cost of a
beef steer
The southwest has cheap, good pas |
lures; alfalfa, sorghum, johnson grass.

Teaching Untruths.

The Orange Judd Farmer calls at
tention to some of the half-baked
truths that have been dished out at
the corn schools held this winter in
the north and west. Before our corn
breeders of the southwest begin teach
ing "cornology" in detail they will
gain the mastery Of the subject Corn
in the southwest is not corn in the
west and north-from either the grow
er's standpoint or that of the scientific
Investigator. We need something
more than a science Of shreds and
patches with which to rightly under
stand corn and corn culture in the
southwest For this reason we favor
general conference Of the seed grow
ers, including corn, cotton, and other
seed interests at some convenient
meeting place. This subject demands
attention because in it we find much
Of our future farming prosperity. Let
the southwest begin right.-Farm and

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be remov-
ed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes
take the place Of diseased sections of
veins; antiseptic dressings are APP
piled to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one-third of the
time required by the cd treatment.
Chamberlain s Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. It is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries.
causes them to heal very quickly. 1t
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Balm Balm in your
