Over the great hog growing section
Of the northwest, which has the state
of Iowa for center, there is almost
absolute immunity from any sort Of
epidemic disease, and with this happy
condition there Is the largest crop Of
young pigs the farms have ever car
ried and one Of the best crops Of corn
in sight with which to fatten them.
The agricultural wealth Of that section
is associated with these black, white
and red beasts and the corn with which
to fit them for market.

August blowing is great thing for
the next years crop, and every effort
should be made to get as much Of it
done as possible. For this reason If
for no other it pays to stack the grain
instead Of trying to thrash from the
shocks, as by doing so a man is left
free to attend to this early blowing.
August blowing is of immense value
as weed destroyer-prevents weeds
from ripening seed and further gives
a chance for dormant seed in the
ground to terminate, to be nicely
caught by the frost in the fall

A fact of no small Importance to
western Canada, guessed at last year
and confirmed in an unmistakable
manner this year, is that in the prov
ince of Alberta, at least, and probably
covering much larger area, winter
wheat can be raised with remarkable
success. This will insure the perfect
maturing of a crop which sown in the
spring sometimes has all it can do to
get ripe before frost.

We have 10 patience with these dis
cussions involving strife between the
farmer and the merchant. There is
no reason on earth why there should
not be the utmost harmony between
these two. The man who says that
the farmer does all the work and the
merchant lives by beating him at every
turn, like the man who styles all farm
ers "Rubes," should be shut up short

Profitable fruit raising consists
largely in being able to raise a fair
crop of fruit in those years when the
crop is short and the price high by the
use of fertilizers, spraying and extra
care given. The years of large crops
Of fruits are quite likely to be after
all Improbable crops because Of the
lack of market and low prices.

The business of farming is like any
other occupation In the sense that it
is just about what one chooses to make
1t. Just because man is engaged in
filling the soil and raising cattle and
hogs doesn't by any means require that
he should live like a barbarian. We
have seen men running retail stores
and practicing professions who were
inclined to the uncouth in their habits
of life. The man largely makes his
business. If he Is slovenly and dirty
by nature he will show it In his voca-
ton. The time is not far distant-in
fact, is present to some extent today
when the art Of agriculture is to rank
high in the list of the worlds occupa-
tions.

Before the merchant raises too much
Of roar against the farmer for trad
ing with mail order houses he should
examine his stock and see what per
cent Of his goods are of the cheap va
riety or are out of date The day
when the farmer bought because there
was only one available store and he
must buy what was offered has
passed, and he now wants the best as
well as his friend in town. 1t might
not be amiss for the farmer to talk
with his home merchant and give him
a chance before going to the city for
his supplies, for often the latter finds
it possible to meet the mail order house
both as regards the quality and price
Of goods.

There are three things connected
with our modern development which
we cannot well do without and which
leave ugly scars in their trail. These
are stone quarries, brickyards and
coal mines, each of which mutilates
the appearance of the country in a
bad way The quarry, because located
usually in some bluff, is less objection
able than are the others. The brick
yard, usually located adjacent to some
town or city, becomes the worst kind
of an eyesore with its excavations,
while coal mines leave mountains Of
culm, ashes and debris that are well
nigh impossible to remove. While ma
ture will always make desperate eff
fort to redeem and beautify such work
as this, she finds it hard work to
handle this proposition, and they will
remain scars and mutilations upon
the face of the landscape for all time.

Just at this time of the year may
be seen the interesting event of the
gathering of the swallows preparatory
to migrating to the south. If one will
watch he will see these birds, which
have nested in the north, gradually as
sembling In large focks, frequently
monopolizing a long line Of telegraph
or telephone wire, resting a few mo-
ments and then going out on short
circuitous fight and returning to their
perch. This viii be kept up for two
or three days, with great deal Of
chattering and noise, each flight being
wider in its radius and the numbers
of birds continually increasing. Final
ly some morning, usually about Aug.
26, the day of migration arrives, and,
gathered once more at the old rendez-
vous, they wheel into tl.e air, make
one or two short circles and then dart
off to the south like flash, to be gone
until next May. How far do they go?
These same birds inside Of twenty
four hours will be found in Louisiana
and the Central American states, the
speed made In the southern passage
being estimated at 100 miles per hour.
We have four or i've varieties of the
hirundea which breed In the north and
stay with us from May until August,
among which are the house martin,
the barn swallow and the sand swal-
low, all Of which have the same mi
gratory habits.

A friend wants to know how to start
q lawn on his town lot right now.
We do not know of any way whereby
a satisfactory turf could be secured
for this season, as 1t Is so late that
neither blue grass nor white clover,
the only kinds Of lawn grass seed
which it Is of much use to SOW,
would amount to anything this season
IL sown, even If it terminated and
lived. 1t would be best to prepare the
soil this fall and sow the seed early in
the spring. He might, however, plant
this lawn with chunks of blue grass
sod, taking irregular shaped pieces as
they would be turned over by the pillow,
and place them in holes dug for them
about ten inches apart, then level off
the lawn with fine earth and roll. This
blue grass would under such treatment
make good fall growth provided it
was kept moist enough. Next year it
would make a fine lawn.
