these are not rare by any means and IL
one has a heavy crop and prices are
low in the section, the chances are nine
out of ten that he can get a better
price IL he will get out and hustle q
little. Watch the city merchants when
business is a little slow. Out goes a
big advertisement with a few leaders
at really bargain prices and soon busi-
ness is on the move again. Farmers
ought not to expect TO sell all they raise

one can afford to ship somewhere else.
For Worms in Horses
In respons to numerous requests we
repeat the remedy for worms in horses
which was given in this department
some months ago. Take two ounces
each of powdered ~sulphate of iron and
powdered wormseed. one and one-haIf
ounces of spigella root, powdered;
and one-half pounds of graduated
| sugar. Mix well and divide equally into
ten powders. Each morning for six
mornings give one powder In a bran
mash and then give as a physic ball,
an ounce OF Barbados aloSs n half
ounce of ginger. After three days give

Increasing Manure Value.
The Ohio experimental station has
been doing some good work along the
Il = -A[w IT, -rr L. xsA1 .a - a. 4
manure may be increased by proper
handling. 1t is peculiarly gratifying to
the writer TO read the report because
1t substantiates that which he has so
persistently advocated for years. The
| experimenters found that stable man
are carted to the field and spread soon
after ii was made, gave a crop return
In value amounting to 85 cents per ton
more of manure value, and that when
crude phosphate rock was occasionally
Z sprinkled on the manure, a value OF
Is cents more was added, more than the
cost of the phosphate. The crop on
which the experiment was tried was or
clover sod plowed under for corn. In
the experiments, wheat and clover fol-
lowed the corn without further fertil-
Eng and with satisfactory results.
THE report is n more proof that
farmers are lightly losing many dollars
they might saw with little effort IL
they would give more time to studying
their business.
About SeedIess Apples.
! Several papers have shown illustra-
lions of a so-called seedless apple and
a more or less to say I'm favor Of Ii.
While 1t will not do TO condemn any
new thing which may develop merit as
time goes on, II is safe TO say that even
should a seedless apple prove to be
fairly good 1T Will be unable to compete
with the better varieties which have
seeds in smaller or large numbers, AS
one fruit-grower pertinently says, '1f
some n Will orisinate and introduce
an apple without a core, we will well
come 1t, but / cannot see much of a
future for a seedless apple" Fruit
growers will find many good varieties
of apples among the standard sorts
n can afford to let seedless apples
alone for a time at least. IL there is
any value to such IN apple, nursery
men Will lind 1t out and the f~ruit-grow-
er will then heal OF 1t and in ample
time to benefit him.
Holding Ammonia In Manure.
Land plaster, or gypsum has UNI
doubted value I'm holding the ammonia
or nitrogen in stable manure. although
some scientists dispute this. Still kahn
lite is so much better for this purpose

any4ofMthe latter Ia nsed-It-isAtsna
kainite Is more expensive In first cost
but then II not only holds the ammonia
better than the gypsum, but Ii adds to
1t a desirable plant food which GYPSUM
does not, Ii n must, for any reason
store the stable manure for some por-
ton of the winter, the bulk OF It's value
will be maintained IL stored I'm pits with
cement bottoms SC that the liquid pQr-
lions are retained and the mass treated
with kainite occasionally during the
winter. The cost Is small compared
with increased value OF the manure.
Try 1t this winter and you will become
a convert to the practice.
A Cheap Piggsry.
In building a house for pigs ii Is
more a question of sensible an ange-
ment than of costly material
or accurate architecture. The
plan is described especially for
a narrowing pen and is ideal for
that purpose. The fioor space used Is
10x14 feet, divided into two SKI pens
with a W foot alley Off. 1t is 6 feet
high in front, 4 feet in the rear and the
partitions are 3 feet high. Openings
are cut In the rear so that the yards
can be reached and an OPENING Is cut
In each pen to the alley just large
enough for the little pigs to get
through and feed from The trough set
across the middle of the alley. The
Whole arrangement Is simple and in
