Celebration of Mexican Independence
 Day Thoroughly Enjoyed.

In a blaze of glorious fireworks, the celebration of Mexican Inde- pendence day ended Saturday night, after two days of revelry
 The exercises were all held in front of the custom house and in the plaza. A large grand stand, beautifully decorated with the patriotic colors, had been built in front of the custom house, and on that during both evenings were gathered the speakers, singers and many prominent citizens of the town.
 The feature of the exercises Fri day night was the address deliver ed by Attorney Rafael Huacuia y Avila. It fairly bristled with patriotism and was delivered with all the eloquence and passion of an ardent, patriotic and able orator
 Solos were sung by Miss Carmen Estrella and MT. Gauchienne and national hyms were sung by school children.
 Games and contests occupied much of the time during both days and the children's carnival in the plaza Saturday afternoon, attract ed hundreds of people.
 The oration Saturday night, de- livered by Captain Jose Cos, was another outburst of patriotic elo- quence, The captain Is polished and entertaining speaker and was listened to with interest.
 The regular Independence Day dance was not given Saturday night. but will be enjoyed at 3 later date. Sunday night thu young men gave dance that was well attended and thoroughly en- joyed.

Pics and Buttermilk.

Buttermilk, provided no water Is
added, is practically of the same val
ne for feeding pigs as separator milk.
But it must be borne in mind that
buttermilk from factories almost al
ways has mixed with it a considerable
amount of added water, sometimes as
much as fifty percent, and, consequent
ly, by itself is not a suitable food for
pigs. Many instances can be given OF
great mortality among pigs fed solely
ON buttermilk, practically from star
walton, because they were not able to
consume enough buttermilk plus water
to derive sufficient nutriment to sup
ply the demand Of nature. But when
The deficiency in solids is made up by
adding meal, or even grass, roots or
uther fodder, pigs are found to thrive
an the buttermilk.-R- T. Archer,
In the Massachusetts, Ploughman.

Exercise for the Cows.

The best dairymen believe implicitly
In exercise for their COWS, but they
also realize that they are delicate AMI
mails and that to permit them to re-
main out Of doors long on cold or
windy day during the winter does
them more injury than good. While
the feeding shed referred to in this de-
partment is an ideal place for exer-
else, it is not in the open air, so the
COWS lose the benefits Of breathing
fresh air. An excellent way to ar
range yard for exercise is to build a
deep shed in the portion Of the yard
where the wind is less likely to enter
II Then, with boards or corn fodder,
erect wind-breaks all around the yard,
running them up six feet or more
Migh. See that the yard is well drained
aud that it is cleaned Of the excrement
each day before the COWS are permit

The LARGE Corn Crop.

Despite the fact that the corn crop
is very large, market reports indicate
that it will not be sold at extremely
low prices as was feared some time
back, whenit was seen the cFopAweald
likely be aheavy. The intelligent and
up-to-date farmers with "a heavy gep
of AL corn can maes nswsld hinsseA,od
returns by selecting the best OF the
crop and putting it on the market at
the highest rates quoted and using the
proceeds to buy other grains which
will give him the needed balanced ra-
ton for his stock. This is departing
somewhat from the general plan Of
feeding whatever grain one has in
abundance, but it Will pay. Moreover
it will pay even TO the point Of re-
ducing the herd to just the number
that can be properly fed on well bal
anced rations.. It is not hard to use
the corn crop for feeding so that the
value Of the milk produced IS really
less than the value of the corn and the
manure, thus. giving one lot OF hard
work and no profit. p.
On the other hand, If one feeds just
the number Of COWS he can feed on
balanced ration, disposlng Of both the
surplus COWS and corn, he. Is money
ahead at the end Of the season. We
farmers are much given to priding
ourselves on the number Of animals
we own, regardless of whether we are
keeping them at profit or at a loss,
and it is such lack Of calculation that
makes some men say farming has
ceased to be a profitable business.

Space In. the Quarters.

Has 1t ever occurred to poultrymen
that it may be better to keep small
hens, II eggs are the object, than to
devote the space to birds Of larger
Ireedse The object Of most farmers
and others is to keep as many hens
In a poultry house as possible and that
1x where the majority Of mistakes Is
made. Judging from the weight and
sixe OF the bird it requires a certain
portien of the roost upon which it can
comfortably rest. Two Brahma or
Cochin hens, weighing nine pounds
each (eighteen pounds for the pair,
win require fully as much room on
the roost as three small hens weighing
six pounds each, and if the tables OF
food equivalents and amounts to sus-
tain: life, according to live weights,
are correct the three hens will con-
sume no more food than two large
s1nes But they may do more, how
ever, as they can lay three eggs, while
only two can be secured from the large
hens. Here, then, is q gain Of forty
Dercent in eggs in favor Of small
breeds because they cost no more than
the same weight Of large fowls, but
being more numerous they conse:
aauently produce more eggs.

The Waste and Expenses.

Talk to almost any good business
man and he will tell you that one OF
the most important points to be con-
-aidered in conducting a business OF
any kind successfully Is to keep down
the expenses and wastes. That's just
the thing that the farmer wants to
look into. There are so many things
~on the farm that this little piece Of ad-
vice could be applied to that It would
take more than this page to tell OF
them all. The manure pile on many
farms is probably being drained OF
the equivalent of good hard cash every
day that It stands. Many cow in the
stables of some dairy is eating her al
1otment Of food every day and return
ing only fifty or seventy-flve percent
OF its cost. Farmers should go around
and keep their eyes open and look into
these matters and they would be
money in pocket. And making money
BY merely keeping your eyes opened
and using little thought comes much
easier than by hoeing corn or pota-

The Next Fruit Crop.

While there are as mar IS thirteen
natural elements: that = s. into the
structure of about e, ming that
grows there are four that seem to be-
more easily exhausted from the soil
than the rest These are nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash and lime.
They naturally exist in soils in such
varying quantities that 1t Is often very
difficult to tell what is or not present
in abundance and in available forms.
In most cases only the actual test OF
applications will tell us what is need
ed. But we may be sure that good
manures wisely 'applied are almost
never amiss.
Nitrogen is such volatile and cas-
lily exhausted manure and sometimes
an injurious one, that it requires the
most careful and timely application
Of all. When the trees are pale in fol-
iage and the growth Is feeble, it is al
most sure indication that It is not
present in the soil in sufficient guam
tity. But fruits are not 80 likely to
need it as the foliage crops. In case
they do need it there Is no form in
which it is more economically applied
than as nitrate of soda. Animal ref
use, such as dried blood also contains
it. Owing to the rapid solubility Of
these materials spring is the prefera-
BILE time to apply them to the soil.
Phosphoric acid plays an important
part In the production Of fruit as it
forms q considerable proportion Of the
seeds and also helps. to give vigor to
the tree or vine. 1t should not be for
gotten that it is found largely in ami
NAL bones and from this we can get it
quite cheaply. Phosphate rock is part
ly composed Of fossil bones. They
give the phosphoric acid up slowly
even when well dissolved and this is
why we should apply early in the
spring or better yet in the fall. This
will allow time for the further decom-
position in the soil and the chemical
changes to take place that are neces-
sary before the roots can absorb the
fertility. Five hundred pounds per
acre is q good application.
Potash is perhaps the most impor-
tant for fruits Of all the manures. 1t
causes healthfulness and vigor Of
tree or plant and makes the fruit rich
and highly colored. Wood ashes con-
tains it but the proportions are usual
" quite small. Muriate Of potash
contains fully one-haf Of its weight
of available potash and sulphate Of
potash about the same. Both are ex-
cellent and cheap forms in which to
apply potash. The sooner either of
them are put in or on the soil the
more completely they will become pre-
pared for the use Of the coming fruit
crop. If it is not possible to apply
them to the ground this fall do it early
| in the spring. But above all be sure
to do it, for in most soils potash will
pay a good return. One hundred
pounds per acre annually Is fair ap-
plication Of either muriate or sulphate
Of potash.
Lime has very beneficial effect,
aside from being plant food in help
ing to dissolve the elements of fertil
ity in the soil naturally. This is espe-
cially true of heavy clay soils, and
where humus is in excess it Sweet
ens' its acidity. About twenty-five
bushels Of quick lime per acre is sufi-
cient for some three years.-H. E.
