A Lesson For the Farmer.,

1t Is not true that because many OF
the sections of the country where most
of the abandoned farms are located are
being rapidly settled, the end of the
abandoned farm is near. The fact re.
mains that in all such sections the resi-.
dents must largely work out their own
salvation. If there were no more cheap
lands to be had in the Northwest, and
in Canada, then the abandoned farm
question would be speedily settled, but
until such time, not likely to come
in this generation, the abandoned farm
regions must look largely to the city
residents for relief.
There are thousands of busy city
men who would be glad to take up one
of these farms if the situation were
brought to their attention in a proper
light. Here is work for the State of.
flclals Of each State containing aban.
doned farms. A busy New York City
merchant is gloatlng over the posses.
sion of an abandoned New England
farm, bought for song. and his joy
has attracted others to the locality to
an extent that since this first farm was
bought, five years ago, other farms
have sold for from quarter to one
third higher, and even then We're sold
very cheap. Those in rural districts
can scarcely realize the glee of the
shrewd, successful city man over the
possession of few acres of country
land where he can breathe freely, with
no one to bother him. A concerted
effort would interest more city men
and bring to the abandoned farm re-
gion money and brains which would
slowly but surely change the sltua.
ton. Perhaps as farms they would do
no better than before, but they have in
them the making of country home
which would delight the average city
man.-Indlanapolis News.

Roots, such as carrots, turnips, man
giles and potatoes, rnay be fed profitably
to cows, swine, sleep and poultry. In
feeding to sheep 1t Is best TO start in
with u small quantity until they are
used to them, else they are apt to have
scours. There are many ways of feed
ing the roots, but, as rule, they should
be fed by themselves and in rather
small quantities, more as an appetizer
than anything else. In feeding them to
poultry, it is good plan to feed one
lot chopped up in very small pieces
and mixed with grain, like corn meal.
1t is a good plan to cook small pota-
toes and mix them in the bran mash
which is fed in the morning. Another
day a lot of carrots chopped small,
about the size of a kernel Of corn, this
to be fed at noon in the trough, fol-
lowed by n smaller feed than usual of
grain scattered through the chaff on
the scratching shed floor. In feeding
to hogs put the roots in the trough
without any slop and in pieces Of quite
good size, for the hogs prefer to have
them this way. An occasional feed of
roots from now on until spring will do
the stock a great deal of good.

The Victoria is composite breed or
comparatively modern origin. There
are two distinct branches of breeds
that are called Victorias and have orig
mated from two different sources and
nodded into breed by two different
individuals. The older branch was
oglrinated in Saratoga County, New
York, by Colonel Frank d. Curtis. and
denominated breed as early as 1850.
1t was made up of a combination of
the blood of the Grazier, Byfield, York
shire and Suffolk. These bear a close
resemblance TO the Suffolk, except the
lack of n deep dish-in-face.
The other was originated by George
Davis, Dyer, Lake County, Indiana.
They are the outcome of the amalga-
nation of the Poland China, Chester
Whites. Berkshires and Suffolks. They
We're called a breed as early as 1870.
They appeared at the fairs in Indiana
and Illinois, and at the Fat Stock Show
in Chicago. in 1873. They We're ac-
knowledged as a distinct breed by the
Illinois State Board of Agriculture in
1882. Since that time they have been
quite successful winners at the Fat
Stock Show, Chicago, and have re-
ceiyed recognition from several other
State organizations.
The Victoria Swine Breeders Associ-
alton was organized in 1856, In 1887
the first volume of the register was
published and two subsequent volumes
have followed. From the small begin
nings the number Of animals recorded
has reached beyond 1000, which shows
that the breed Is growing in popularity.
When we consider that only stock that
is or likely to be kept for breeders win
be placed on record, 1t is good show
Ing
The Vlctorlas seem to occupy a posi-
tion distnctiyely their own and are not
close imltators of the other breed. In
size they are not the equal of the
Poland China, but somewhat larger
than some of the so-called breeds, de-
pending greatly on the individual in
whose hands they are reared. 1t is
claimed that they are easily adapted to
surrounding conditions, and thrive
either in field or pen. We conclude
from close examination and study of
them that they are fattened at any age.
The superior feeding qualities. as we'll
as the quality Of their meat, have been
proven by their winnings, in both live
and dead classes, at the Fat Stock
Shows at Chicago.
In general appearance the victorlas
are strong and growthy, and in the
typical specimens are quite symmetri-
cal in outline. They are not quite so
large as the Berkshires, nor do they
seem to, as yet, equal them in uni.
formity. They are white, while the
Berkshire is black, With white points.
