GIVING THE FARMERS PITS.
OF THE COAT FITS PUT IT ON.

Why plant a garden pea that gives you
small peas and few in a pod; when the same
space and culture will give as many very
large, delicious peas.
Why grow corn with a short ear, large cob
and small kernel, when like culture and
ground will give you long ears and small
oObs, with a greater per centage OF excellent
corn?
Why not grow orange sorghum for rough or
coarse fodder, planting about the middle Of
June and cutting down when the head is
half made, or seed in the milk? it does not
have to be housed like corn fodder; and II
your stock has teeth they will eat every stalk
up clean.

IfyOu haven't fine supply OF the best selec-

Why do your cattle sheds and the barnyard
open TO the north; or any way but south, II

better than the pigs If you had to share their |
quarters.

FOur-legged pigs are as happy, thrive as
well, and make pork as fit for your food, If
they have good quarters, clean bed and food
