EARLY PREPARATION OF THE
SOIL,

The movement of water in the soil.
usually designated as capillary action.
depends upon the tension of soil par
ticles. 1t is evident then, that the
finer the particles are the stronger
the capillary action will be. The COM
pactness of the soil will also have
much to do in the matter. If then,
the soil of any piece of ground be of
a compact nature and it have the soil
particles reduced to fineness it is
plain that it will retain higher de-
gree of moisture than otherwise. All
laws of philosophy settle this fact.
What follows then, as necessary Sc
quence? Plainly it is that every piece
Of land designed for cultivation
should be thoroughly pulveHzed and
that too, early in the season. And,
this intimates the fact also that deep
blowing Is important. If the farmer
would hope for a good crop year, he
should very early in the season break
up his ground, ploughing it very deep
and subsoil 1t thoroughly. Then be-
fore planting the crop, cross pillow,
harrow. mulch and lastly, roll 1t we'll
to insure compactness. If, before cross
powing, humus, or decayed vegeta-
Bile matter, be spread over the sur
face. much will be added to the moist
retaining qualities. By this is meant
stable manure. rotten straw, leaves.
wood and such like. Indeed any kind
Of good fertilizing agent The ground
thus prepared means that the main
part Of the labor necessary to good
crop has been performed. 1t also
means that a good crop is almost a
certainty even though the season be
comparatively dry one. OF course.
other work will be necessary. After
the crop has reached the growing
stage, it will need blowing, narrowing
and roofing out of weeds and sprouts.
But in doing this the farmers heart
will be cheered by the rapid growth
Of his crops caused by the retention
Of moisture in the soil as result of
the early preparation of the soil.
Should drouth come, keep stirring
the ground with pillow or harrow until
the drouth is over and good crop is
assured.-T. E. Richey.

HOW TO RAISE HOGS.

1t is a fact that the greatest profit
In raising hogs for the market lies In
orcing their feeding from time OF
birth until ready to go into the mar
ket. One days careful attention and
good feeding will more than equal
two days poor feeding. Do not ne
glect them single day., A business
man can not neglect his store two or
three days in the week and expect to
profit as the man who gives it hiss
careful attention every day. Neither
can you neglect your hogs and make
the profit your neighbor does by care
full daily attention If you raise hogs.
and give them only half care. you will
be disappointed by not receiving sat
isfactory returns. They need careful
attention and the best of feed to
make you successful in rearing them
up. They must be warm in winter
and cool in summer, and you must al
ways be on your guard against dis
ease. The man who uses his brain Is
the man who makes the money, and
not the man who performs labor with
out thought A man to be successful
in raising hogs must use his brains
as much as man in any other bust
ness. Many people overlook the great
Importance of study and careful at
tention in the breeding of live stock
The successful breeders Of hogs are
making more money and easier than
any other class of people. No money
Is made by making poor selection.
or by making a good selection and
then not giving them the proper food
and careful attention. Be careful in
your selection of breeders to secure
strong. vigorous constitutions. and do
not use animals for breeding pur-
pores that have been over crowded;
this will do for the pork barrel, but
never for breeders. Young breeders
are apt to overlook this point-so be
very careful in your selection. Grow
nothing but well-bred hogs. and give
them the best Of care and they will
give you the largest profits and quick
est returns Of any branch of the
stock business. In so doing we fully
realize the large profi:s to be made
by raising well-bred hogs.-E. L. Nor

CHAPTER Xix.
THE FATAL THIRTEEN.

Sandy chances to be wise little fell
low, and evinces no surprise at the
state of affairs. He guesses instinct
lively that Kassee has made a discov-
cry of some Importance, and is now
communicating the result of his work
to the master he loves so well.
Somehow it seems quite natural that
they should get into a tangle, that
mystery should crop up around them.
They are surrounded by strange
scenes, which the human mind could
hardly imagine without a Positive ex-
perience. The very air of India seems
to breathe of mystery, as though it
We're impregnated with it.
He watches Mynheer Joe and the
Hindoo with considerable curiosity,
while keeping an eye upon the crowd
near by. as if seeking to discover
whether any one else is interested in
them.
Joe now appears to be questioning
his faithful servitOr. as though he has
heard it all and knows that 1t is seri-
Gus. At the same time he does not
exhibit alarm, for his experience has
been great in the past, and he knows
how to preserve his mental equilibrium
In the face of the most astounding
difficulties.
Ten to one it's all on account of
that miserable Russian. I expected 10
hear from him again. What in the
deuce is the sly rascal up to now?"
mutters the correspondent, as he twirls
his cigar between finger and thumb
and keeps his eyes fastened upon his
friend.
- Ices Joe look around MIN, as
though seeking the danger of which he
has been warned. Then their eyes
meet. The traveller cannot help but
note the eager look upon the face of
Sandy. He smiles and beckons to him.
This, of course. means that he is to be
in it; and as the correspondent usually
manages. by hook or crook, to get
there, he feels satisfied that matters
are shaping themselves all right. 1t
suits him to meet difficulties as they
1y. Sandy was never known to turn
his back on the foe.
With his curiosity aroused to most
intense pitch. the correspondent, there
fore, advances to the fray. He casts
keen glance at the face of Mynheer
Joe, but that worthy shows little Of
the emotions that may lie deeply hid
den under the calm exterior.
Thus Sandy draws up alongside of
his friend and awaits the communica-
ton that is to decide mOmentous
epoch in their lives; nor is it long in
forthcoming.
"Well. the baron has been at work.
Sandy" remarks Joe. with peculiar
smile. II knew he would not be long
in Bombay without attempting some
manner of evil against us. particularly
myself. for whom he entertains no
great love. you understand"
Sandy mods his head in that vigor-
Gus. thoughtful way of his, more elo-
quent than words.

human nature-it will steal from its
neighbor. and in vegetable life we
must give back to the tree that which
has been taken from it. Lack of
moisture may prevent bearing the fol.

DEEP RUST SPOTS

When there are deep rust spots on
steel that resist all the usual methods
Of polishing it will be wise to try a
paste made from fine emery and
kerosene. There are few spots that
will not yield to this. After applying
the paste-and rubbing the spots
thoroughly-let 1t stand for several
hours, then polish with oil.

white satiny stripes on pearly

flowers scattered over 1t. The striped
papers. she said, were easier to put

But great care had to be taken in
matching the widths.

to her narrow windows. Close against

she had hung curtains OF sheer white

1t is waste of time, space and
food to attempt to grow exhibition
birds Of merit from inferior stock.
The very best will throw quite enough
of the poorer quality.
No one is justified in raising mon.
grel poultry in this day and age of the
world 1t has been amply proven that
extra prices can everywhere be OBJ
tanned for good stock. be it horse. COW
pig or chicken. and it costs no more to
raise pure-bred stock than chear
scrubs.
Some male birds are SO gallant that
they will stand around and let the
hens eat all the food 1t is a good
plan to take the male bird out of the
pen every other day and feed him by
himself. The male bird needs a gen.
erous supply of food, but if enough is
thrown into the pen to furnish him a
sufficient amount the hens are liable
to overeat and become too fat.
Never use an immature pullet in
the breeding pen. and if you use
mature pullets discard their first
eggs. Some poultrymen make 1t a
rule never to use any of the first
forty eggs pullets lays for Matching
We believe this an extreme measure,
however. and would not hesitate to
use the eggs after the first twenty the
pullet produces.
RAISING CALVES WITHOUT MILK.
H. E., Troy. Penn: Kindly give a
formula for calf feed, substitute for
milk. We take our milk to cheese
factory.
There is no food or combination of
foods that will take the place of milk
for young calf. While I know hay
tea and faxseed jelly of tea have been
used by some for half century.
few good calves have been raised that
way and great big lot of very poor
weak. scrawny ones that would not
sell for enough when one year old to
pay for the hay they ate the first
winter. For the first week of its life
every calf should have its mothers
milk. providing she produces normal
milk. The next week it can have half
whole milk and half skim milk. The
third week it may have all skim milk,
with a spoonful of fiaxseed jelly stir
red into 1t, and fed at about 80 de-
grees heat. Never heat it above 100.
At this time of life calves will begin
to nibble at clover hay. Furnish it.
Also they will eat some bran and oat
chop. or even whole oats. At this
period We can safely leave the jelly
out and begin to add little hay tea
to the skim milk; but mix some lin
seed oil meal in with the oats and
bran. about equal parts. BY the time
the calf Is four weeks old we can re-
duce the milk with hay tea until it Is
two thirds hay tea, and allow 1t all
the fine early cut clover hay 1t will
eat also, allow it about all the wheat
bran. oats and linseed oil meal it will
eat with relish. By being careful
calves can be raised practically after
a month old without milk But start
ing calf without milk is not often
done successfully. Wheat middlings
can take the place of bran.-C. D.

COOKING oDoRLEss ONIONS.

A remarkable way to make the
cooking Of onions absolutely odorless
is given by an expert cook.
People in fats" she says, "are OF
ten disguised by the penetrating odoi
of onions. and for that reason refuse
to have the vegetable as an article OF
diet as often as they should. As
matter Of fact, there is no need for
excluding the onion or the other Of
Tending eatables. The simplest way
in the world to solve the difficulty is
this: Have the cook put into the
cooking vessel with your onions just
piece of stale bread about as big as
your fist. Somehow or other the
bread absorbs the odors, and you don't
know onions are on your menu until
you sit down at the table.-New York
