This leads to partial loss of hearing,

MONEY. IN CULTIVATION.
The Farmer Who Works His Soil Dill.
igently Is the One That Gets
the Big Crops.

When was a child read Sunday
school story which impressed me very
much about poor boy who was made
very happy by the gift of pig. He
did not have much to feed the pig,
but. he tried to make up for other
lacks by attention and care and was
SO far rewarded that the pig became a
fine large porker, and when brought
to his natural end upon the block re-
turned a handsome pittance" to the
sagacious boy. AS grew older.
doubts beset my mind concerning the
probabilities Of that story, notwith-
standing its irreproachable origin, I'M
til I met woman who was striving
most conscientiously to carry on and
do justice to the pet farm of her hus-
band, a railroad conductor who ''con-
Quoted" most of the time. She kept
pigs and, like all neat housekeepers,
carried her passion for cleanliness
into the barnyard. AS a result those
pigs were taken early to the water
ing trough and became so accus-
toned to their daily bath that, like
the precocious children pictured in
advertisements, they cried for it. u
was decided departure from estab-
lished presidents in pig culture. but
it paid. The pigs throve and waxed
so fat and beautiful that their proud
mistress bore them of to the fair and
took all the blue ribbons she could
lay her hands on. Doubtless they were
well fed, too, but that does not destroy
the force of the argument for care and
cultivation.
Cleanliness appears to be almost as
near to goodness in the culture Of
crops as in the regeneration OF the
human family. When I questioned =
man who had succeeded in raising
900 bushels Of onions where only 500
grew before he assured me that the re-
suit was due more to care and atten-
ton than to richness Of soil. He as
serted that onion culture, like the
training of child, should begin with
the ancestors. In other words, the
seed sowed should be the product of
good, well cultivated onions, and It
should be planted in a seeded as
nearly perfect as narrowing and cul-
tivating could make 1t. Then when
the onions had sprouted, cultivation
should be renewed and every weed
should be removed in order that tho
young bulbs might inherit the earth
and get the start Of all competitors.
"Cultivate!" "Cultivate!" was the mot
to OF that onion. grower, and we be-
lieve it must be the motto of every
produced who deals with organized
life.-Farmers' Review.

Blue Grass for the Hogs.

The more we see Of blue grass and
the more we have to do with 1t. the
more we believe that John J. Ingalls,
meant what he said when he wrote
what he did about blue grass. The lat
est capture" blue grass has made In
this section Of the state Is in the way
of hog pastures. On our upland 1t has
come out in a way that plainly shows
it to be head and shoulders above al
falfa for that quality Of soil. and when
it comes to a question Of lasting with
a herd Of hogs running on It. alfalfa
simply isn't in it compared with the
blue grass. And as far as we have
been able to observe, the hogs like the
grass every bit as we'll and do every
bit as we'll on It az they do on alfalfa.
There is no doubt about alfalfa having
it's place on the farm, but every year.
little by little, It Is soaking into our
cavity where a set of brains ought to
be that blue grass is crowding It hard
for first place as hog pasture crop of
more permanent nature than Is cane
or rape.-Missouri Valley Farme+.
