We are asked will turning the pigs
into a patch of rape produce scurvy.
We have one or two reports of skin
disease where hogs had the run of a
rape field, but whether chargeable to
the rape or not we cannot tell One
thing is sure, however-we have seen
more scurvy looking hogs which never
saw stalk Of rape than can be found
in any rape field. Plant rape for the
hogs and proportion the size Of the
field to the number of hogs to be fed.
so that they will keep it closely fed
down.

The chinch bug, the Colorado beetle
and the hog cholera, three of the most
destructive pests which ever visited
the western farmer, seem to have had
their day and for a time at least have
disappeared. What pest is to take their
place is not yet clear.

Science is doing more for agriculture
and its allied branches today than for
any other profession. In the line of
manufacturing. mining, transportation
and engineering it would seem as
though the limit of improvement was
well nigh reached. while with agri-
culture the field Of possibilities is ev-
cry day widening. The abundance and
cheapness of land in the past. which
made it possible and easier to draw
upon the earth's stored fertility than
to devise ways and means of conserv-
ing such fertility and increasing the
yield of farm products. have come to Il
full stop, and the question Of fewer
acres, larger crops, more humane
and intelligent treatment Of the soil
confronts every farmer Within five
years more has been learned about soil
physics. the value Of improved seed
and breeds of domestic animals, the
numberless insect and bacterial pests
which heset the crops and stock, than
during the entire period Of agricultural
development in this country. This
most valuable knowledge Is constantly
increasing in power and widening in
its scope through the medium Of agri-
cultural journal, experiment station
and farm institute.

Very primitive methods still prevail
on many of the best farms in Europe.
The wooden pillow still stirs the rich
soil of the Nile valley. The scythe still
cuts the harvest Of hay and grain in
the Netherlands. The wheatfields of
men, as in the days Of Boaz. The cul-
tivated area of the island Of Jersey is
nearly all spaded over by hand. Dogs
take the place of horses as haulers of
produce in Belgium, and the vast beet
fields of Germany represent an almost
infinite amount Of patient and unceas-
ing hand labor.

With curious, prickly vine.
And smelling for and near;

The toys, the games. the shrill, gay

You cannot pluck a rose or read a

Oh, one and all,

Your slim girls sing out on the stair.
Lo. am there!
When blow the cherry boughs so fair
Athwart your slender town Yards far

Lo, all at once you have no word 10

And light the candles tall.

Come back.
Unlatch the door,
And fall upon my heart once more.
For shall comfort you. OH lad;
