Eternal Vigilance,

Eternal vigilance is the price Of lib
erty'' from disease in the pig pen.
There may be Luck in lousy calf"
but there is none whatever in Il lousy
pig. Furthermore. the breeder that re-
lies on luck to carry him through will
soon find himself as we'll as his pigs
sucking the hind teat' OF thrift. End
that fellow that had mo luck with
hogs also had no brains, or else had
not enough of energy to bring his
brains into exercise.
The hogs ''inards," or alimentary ca
nal. is constructed very much after the
pattern of that Of the human species,
and needs constant looking after Be
ing All omniverous animal, he eats any
thing and everything For this reason,
and for the further reason that he is a
hog, his digestive apparatus is more
and anon. Hence the caption OF this
article.
The practiced eye of the skiliful
breeder will readily attack any unusual
condition in his hogs, rs symptomatic
of approaching disease, and will be in
position to combat 1t in its early
stages. This can be accomplished and
the animals health restored with a
great deal more facility at this time
than later on.
In fact after tie hog gets down and
refuses to eat it is almost impossible
to restore him. Give the hogs constant
care and attention, and no Other farm
animal will remunerate you so highly

Preserving Sweet Potatoes.

There is an art in preserving sweet
potatoes during the winter months.
The tubers have an excess of sweet
juices, part of which must be evap-
Grated out of the potato to give it
solidity, and place it in a more COM
pact state. When first taken from the
soil the potatoes should be put in a
room where their skins will become
dry from outside moisture, but not in
the sun. In ten days they may be
banked, as it is called, and allowed to
remain for about three weeks. Dur
ing this period the tubers will pass
through sweating process, and il not
properly ventilated the moisture that
remains on the tuber will cause it to
rot. If the entire bulk be rehandled
after the sweating and laid in piles
of fifty bushels or more, and dry sand
poured over them as the piling process
proceeds, the sand will absorb any adj
ditional moisture that may come out
of the potatoes after repacking, thus
keeping them dry. Dry sand or dust
from the road or cotton seed hulls will
generally guarantee sound potatoes in
April. An hundred bushels can be put
in the kitchen loft, where smoke and
heat ascend to keep them dry, and not
a bushel will rot. OF course, the tubers
must be covered with sacks or some
thing to keep them from freezing.
The sweet potatoes can be cooked as
tomatoes are. and canned. The Agri-
culturist advises the good housewives
of the South to experiment i'll cooking
and putting up potatoes as they do
peaches.-T. ]. K, in Agricuturist

Sowing Red Glover with Spring Oats.

W. ]. L. writes: Il am going to sow
thirty acres Of uplands in oats this
spring. and want to seed the ground
with clover for pasture. Would prefer
red clover. but l think white clover
would grow better on this ground. as
it is not very strong. Would it be bet
ter to seed the clover at the same time
as the oats, or wait till fall?"
There is no reason why you should
not sow red clover ant oats this spring.
Glover is more likely to succeed if
seeded by itself, as the oats exhaust
the soil moisture, and when cut off ex-
poses the young clover to the hot sun.
and it very frequently is destroyed If
the land can be gotten in good condi-
ton and the clover seeded early in the
fall it will frequently pass through the
winter all right, and. being we'll cstab-
l.Shed when spring opens up, will re-
main III the ground for one or two sea-
sons. White clover would not be suit
able for upland soils unless intended
for pasture. II you want to seed the
land down for grazing purposes only
you could use some white clover, some
tall oat grass and some orchard grass
to advantage. If you wait until fall to
seed the clover you might grow peas on
the land this summer. cut Off the first
crop and plow down the refuse and af-
termath and seed the clover by itself.
Glover should be seeded in The fall not
later than Tie 18th of September in or
Ger to enable it to become well estab-
lished before cold weather sets ina.

Fed Glover and Alfalfa Compared.

The farmer who possesses the sol
and climatic conditions suitable to the
growth of alfalfa might truly consider
himself fortunate, indeed and toe
much cannot be said in its praise as
Il green forage or hay for swine OF
other stock. And yet, Notwithstanding
the truthfulness of the foregoing as
sertion, the greater bulk Of agricul-
turists living in the red clover belt
of the United States will find no sub
stitute that fills it's place.
In a wide stretch of country extend
ing from New York and the lakes to
Central Tennessee, red clover is in
digenous to the soil, and only in limited
areas in all that vast territory does
alfalfa seem to rival it.
/ can show you in Kentucky, where
alfalfa had an equal chance with red
clover, both growing in the same field,
and now the alfalfa lies prone upon the
surface, tap root and all, spewed out
by the freezes, while the clover yet sets
tight in the soil and has not been up
lifted particle by the frost.
Alfalfa requires considerable mois-
ture in summer, and reaches its high
est state of perfection where irrigation
is practiced.
1t also thrives in many sections OF
the South where clover Will not pros
per. and will yield immense crops of
hay per acre where proper conditions
exist. sometimes as high as five cut
tings being made il one season from
tho same field.
Conditions have to be exactly right
for it, though. as already stated. to
make il n success.
Climate has to be JUS right. soil has
TO be quite fertile-the reverse Of clover
has to be in perfect filth, as prepared
FOR small grain; requires more seed per
acre. and at greater cost. Stock has
TO be rigidly withheld from it the first
year, and yet it has to be clipped with
mower to make it thicken up.
Clover, in its home, seems to 60
equally well, with or without a nurse
crop or sown OH well prepared ground,
or only corn stubble unprepared, and,
as usually. at the same time clover
or alfalfa is to be sown. the ground
is either in no condition to work, or else
farmers are too busy preparing for
cultivated crops to give the soil any
s-ecial preparation for alfalfa.

caterpiilars? l have a large apple or
chard and am troubled with this pest.
Ilease give remedy
w. L. RODGERS.
If owners of trees will go through
their orchards before the trees bud
they will discover apparently knots or
swelings on some of the small limbs,
scarcely larger than a pencil. The
knots are eggs of the tent caterpillar
deposited around the limb last sum-
mer. There are 200 eggs in one of
those clusters on the limb They are
glued over with a mixture that the fe-
male has the power of covering them
with as protection to the eggs from
cold. When such knots are found, the
orchardist should cut off the limb on
which the eggs are and carry to the
house to be carefully burned. This is
one of the most economical ways Of
destroying the apple tree caterpillar.
Look through the orchard for those
swellings on the limbs, cut off and
burn When the trees bud the warm
weather will hatch the eggs of the
caterpillars and the larvae will crawl
out to eat. and as they come and go
they spin silken thread which they
make so thick that it will turn rain
and act as an Enclosure or house for
their protection at night, All the
worms will be found in their home at
night If tablespoonful of Kerosene
be poured OH cloth, tied to pole and
ignitcd, all the worms can be burned
i'll one moment. The limb on which
the caterpiIlars will probably he dam
aged by the blaze, therefore, should be
cut off.
Now, for destroying worms by spray
Ing, buy six pounds of copper sulphate
and dissolve in two gallons Of warm
water in a wooden vessel; i'll another
vessel dissolve five pounds of fresh
lime After these have cooled, mix the
TWO in Il barrel of water containing
forty-fiye gallons. Add to this two
ounces Of paris green. This combin-
alton is called Bordeaux mixture. This
kills fungus diseases that may be on
the limbs of the tree, and the paris
green afterwards added contains ar
senic, which will destroy caterpillars.
This is a double purpose spray. 1t
should be applied before the trees
push out their leaves After the trees
have bloomed and the blossoms have
fallen the same spray should be given
all the apple trees, and should be re-
peated at intervals of every fifteen
days until three sprayings have been
made. This will make the trees
healthy; will destroy fungi, and the
worms that eat the leaves that have
the arsenic upon them will certainly
die
