FOWLS FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

This may seem strange advice from q
poultryman OF twenty odd years expert
ence, but we really think 1t is the best
thing that nine out of ten farmers could
do. particularly when they have the idea,
so many of them have, that fowls are not
worth The room they take up. just as in
flower raising, a woman can get more out
of a flock of poultry than a man and do IL
with less effort and with less training
why this Is SO is probably because she
gives the necessary care to the essential
details Just as she does in raising tender
pIants. Ii Is not to be inferred that farm
ers cannot succeed with poultry, for they
can il they are willing 10 give. the bust
ness attention. but if not they should turn
IL over 10 the wife and daughters. How
ever. bear In mind that the ladies should
not be expected TO do the dirty work OF
poultry raising; have some Of the men do
this in return for the extra eggs they
will have TO eat. This disagreeabIe part OF

have this trouble to cease trying TO raise
pigs-they don't know enough. This IL
rather startling but our friend goes on &C
say, still testify, that he nno understand
why farmers do not learn that the sole
trouble with sows killing their young re-.
suits from intense constipation, which
makes the teats feverish and CAUSES great
pain when the pigs attempt To nurse. The
temper OF the average SOW is not of tins

in the condition described the pain Is sc
great that in her anger she Kills the ones
who are causing the pain. IL IS largely
the old question of feeding too much corn
without anything in the way of succu-
Tents 10 keep the bowels in proper condi-
tion. There are all sorts OF remedies for
this trouble but most of them are worth
less, the true remedy being prevention,
which is easily applied by a proper course
of feeding. Make a start at this now by
seeing that the sows hays considerable in

them 10 feed during the winter as so0n as

GINSENG A THING OF THE PAST
For several years we nave repeatedly
urged farmers 10 go slow on ginseng,
pointing out that the trade in the root was
wholly through the Chinese and that there
was some question as TO how they would
look upon the cultivated crop, inquiry
among those who deal ia the roots IN New
York city reveals the fact chat the demand
has steadily fallen off and lately has
slumped badly because. 1t 10 claimed, the
Chinese say the cultivated root does not
possess the virtues OF the wild root. BE
this as IL may the fact remains that II
there ever was any great amount of money
to be made in growing ginseng the day
has gone by. Dealers do not care TO have
supplies shipped TO them. for they have
littic or no call for so that the stuff Is
begging for a market. AS the trade in it is
confined wholly TO Chinese there is no
hope of finding other outlets. All one can
DO Is TO lay the ginseng away with the
Belgian hare and label them crazes that
have died out. The farmers who have
Kept 20 the corn and potato crop or TO any
other crop which has yielded fair returns
has made more money than the grower OF
ginseng.

EcoNoMIzINe ON SEEDS.

Regular readers OF this department KNOW
the opinion of the writer on the question
of cheap seeds and particularly when seeds
are bought at a low price from seedsmen
with no particular reputation. Such seeds
are generally worth even less than is paid
for them because there is the loss, partial
or total. of the crop which canno be COM
puted. 1t is considered by those who, are
in a position to know that If the soil is
capable of producing a good crop 1t would
be cheaper in the end to pay double the
regular prices for seeds than TO take the
risk of buying seeds even a trihe less in
price. Sometimes one may economize 10
advantage by the proper selection or seeds.
as for example when red clover is TO be
seeded some money may be saved by buy
ing one-third the quantity of alsike and
two-thirds of red clover seed. The COM
bination crop is more desirable than all
red clover which is selling this spring
at from 50 TO SO a bushel for first grade
seed. Better a smaller area Of any one
thing nut out than a larger area when
the cheap seeds are used, for the chances
are the smaller area will give you the

CARING FOR THE BOAR.

Anyone who starts out TO raise hogs
with the idea of q goodly profit in mind
must needs pay some attention to the boar.
Admitting all there is in the Importance
of having good females upon which TO
build up the herd. a poor boar or a good
boar poorly cared for will offset any value
there is in the high grade females; per-
haps not at first but surely after a season
or two the difference will be noted. Money
invested in a good boar is money well
invested if the animal is properly cared
for and proper care means proper food, a
clean, comfortable pen by himself and a
yard of sufficient area to give him needed
exercise. The boar should be treated
kindly of course, but don't try TO make a
pet OF him for he cannot be trusted. See
that he is kept away from the hogs ex-
cept at breeding season and feed him so
that he will be fairly plump, but never fat:
muscle and energy is what he needs in
order that the get be desirable. Find some

FEEDING ALFALFA HAY.

While we believe alfalfa to be all that
is claimed for ii, no one should believe for
a moment that IL is a perfect food for
stock and for pasture; II is not always a
safe food, although horses do not seem 10
be injured by feeding from it while green.
For cows and sheep alfalfa has its best
value when fed as hay in connection with
some other roughage. 1t is rich In protein
hence gives the feeder an opportunity TO
feed protein much more cheaply h in
any grain. As a pasture for hogs alfalfa
is all that is claimed for ii, although, like
rape, il gives the best results when II is
alternated with some other pasture. If
the soil is in good condition, that IL, has
been properly inoculated for alfalfa, about
fifteen pounds of seed TO the acre is suf-
fcient. The seed should be clean, how
ever, and, particularly. free from dodders
which Is One OF the worst enemies of the
alfalfa plant. A number of seedsmen are
offering special selected seed (probably
seed which has been cleaned with unusual
care) at an advanced price, and ii will pay
to buy this better seed. Don't expect a
crop the first season but be content with
cutting 1t so as to destroy the various
weeds and prevent them from going TO

MARKETING CLEAN EGGS.

Recently the statement was made b,
one who is supposed to he an authority
that water on the egg shall hastens de-
composition. in other words he claims
that the shell Of an egg should never be
washed for ii will absorb enough moisture.
to hasten its spelling. After many years
of marketing eggs the writer cannot who'll
~ agree with this statement. 1t is prob
ably true that IL an egg was allowed TO
soak in water for even FIVE minutes its
keeping qualities would be impaired, but
that washing an egg seriously injuries il is
nonsense. Those who market eggs 10
critical customers know that soiled eggs
are far from salable. LOOK over the eggs
when they come to the house and with a
cloth wipe them clean using another cloth
which is dry to polish the shell. There is
no danger that this will injure the Keeping
quality of the egg. Only a week ago
when in the Store of a large commission
man we saw a man with wet cloths wash

price than the market quotations because
they were soiled. The commission man
was having them cleaned to sell at a high
er price. If this work pays him II will pay
