KEEPING UP SOIL FERTILITY.


So long as fertilizers OF some kind must
be used In growing crops 1t becomes a
vital question nov to use them to the
best advantage. II is safe TO say that no
man can lay dow a general rule for man
uring which will be satisfactory In all sec
tions and with all crops simply because of
the different requirements OF different soils
and OF different crops. Not only this, but
one may hav a piece OF land which shows
depletion OF fertility more quickly than an
other strip apparently just like II, hence
Ii Is pain that the same plan of manuring
will NOT do Tor both. There are farms
that are over fertilixed and the results are
az unsatisfactory as on farms which do
not receive enough fertllizing. There Is
much discussion as to whether heavy man
uring at irregular intervals Is az valuable
as smaller quantities more frequently APP
piled. While the crop may nave some
thing to do with this. 1t may be consid-
cred safer by far TO provide the smaller
quantity Of manure at more frequent In

RAISING THE BACON HOG.


Outside of what Is known as the corn
belt farmers will make more money in hog
raising by putting animals on the market
of moderate weight than by the heavy
weights which have long been so popular.
The streak OF lean and streak OF fat hog is
the most profitable one today, but to raise
such an animal requires a radical depart
ure from the old methods. of close pens
and an almost exclusive corn diet. Oats,
barley. KIN milk and plenty of good pas
ture during the summer enter very largely
into the makeup OF the bacon hog. Some
corn Is fed. but mainly at the finishing off
period, the main dependence being placed
on the other grains with the pasture. In
the case OF the latter good pasture must be
supplied. 1t will not do to turn the hogs
on any worn out strip OF grass land. The
pasture OF mixed grasses must be good
and the results viii be better IL a range OF
rape is used by way of variety. Then. let
the hogs follow the harvest In the fall
particularly in the corn field and they will
pick UP nearly all the corn they should
have during the period OF growth.

If a bank clerk receives, money be-
longing to the bank and IL his books
show that he did not credit the
amount to the proper account, or, in
Decd. to any: account at all, there is
no uncertainty as to his ultimate
fate. When the time Of discovery
comes he is surely branded as thief
and sent of to prison.
Consider the latest revelations con-
corning one of the; big New York life
insurance companies: The records
of the company show that it partici-
pated in certain syndicate operations.
There are memoranda to show the
amount of profit made by the syndi-
Gates and the share to which the in

the books, lasting for weeks, has in

Biggest Bird That Flies.

Is the condor the biggest bird that
flies? While the heaviest bird capable
Of flight is the bustard-a table of ref
erence says it weighs from twenty six
to twenty eight pounds-its expanse of
wing, trifle less than that Of the
wild swan, is three or four feet less
than that of the famous albatross, and
only half that Of the largest condor on
record.
In point of size the giant albatross
Of the southern coast, with an aver.
age eXpanse Of eleven feet and four
inches, has to yield to the condor OF
Chile, whose extended pinions have
in many cases measured twelve feet
and in one instance, cited by Field
writer, on good authority, the almost
incredible width Of fifteen feet. I,
would seem that the condor Of the
Andes is still lord Of the air by one
foot.
