Unless sheep are caught with a
crock, more or less wool will be
wasted at sleeps heariny time.
Sheep aud lambs caught by hand
often lose haudfuls fleece.
One reason why the hog pasture
must be restricted in size is that
hog fencing is very costly. The
strands of wire must be close to
gether aud the lowest wire must
lie aloug the ground. The nog's
ability to root under almost any
thug makes bin a hard animal to
fence against.

ground for the tree. The worst
method is quite commonly followed
which is to merely dig Il big hole

When the tree is set in the hole

RETIRING FROM THE FARM,

The great scarcity of competent
farm help during the last few
years has introduced the element
of complexity into the problem of
production. This is especially true
in cases where the landowner is
mewhat advanced in years, and
because of this less able to indulge
in the activities that are so sternly
demanded if there is to he any
profit at the end of the year as the
outcome of the investment and the
labor expended Under such cir
cumstances we can well understand
the temptation to leave the farm,
to retire to inactive life in the vii
lage or town, and thus be free
from the anxieties that are more or
less associated with the tasks of
production.
However, study of the lives of
those who leave the farm as the
years advance does not impress
one with the wisdom of solving
the problem in this way. In old
age new friendship cannot be
formed that will take the place of
the old time friends and neighbors.
while to be removed from the
scenes of a lifetime of activity is
to leave a void in the affections
that cannot be replaced by the su-
perficlal joys that characterize
town or city.
To our way of thinking the solu-
ton of the difficulty lies in secur-
ing more help for the performance
of the active duties, while the duty
of directing them alone falls to the
aging one. This will keep the
mind active and the spirit young,
so that the individual grows old
peacefully, enjoys his years to the
very end aud in truth prolongs that
day when tia dnties of life shall
come to an end. The happiest
aged people that we know are
those who have spent their child.
hood, and manhood, as well as the
days of advancing years, on the
farm. There the atmosphere is
pure, friends remain steadfast. na-
lures power of rejuveaescence is
experienced in the fullest degree,
aud it is our opinion that there is
where the inal leave taking should
occur.

PLANT SUNFLOWERS.

Every poultryman should raise
sunfiowers. They serve double
purpose, furnishing shade for the
fowls and growing chicks during
the hot days of the summer, and
later the seeds are splendid feed
for the fowls and chicks if fed
judiciously. The oil in the seeds
gives the plumage a gloss that can
not be obtained in any other way.
sunflowers will do well in almost
any soil aud eau be planted IN ont
of the way places along the fences,
in corners and so on. Get the
Mammoth Russian variety. Both
horses aud cows are very fond of
the leaves tender parts of the stalks
There is no crop that pays the
poultryman better.

Father Albert Biever of New
Orleans, has a plan to distinguish
ants and will publish series OF
articles showing how to get rid OF
them. If a bunch of ants decide
to raid a sugar bowl on the tor
shelf of a pantry, there is nothing
that can prevent them. You may
stave them off for an hour or two,
but they will go off aud consult
and when they come back that
sugar is as good as theirs. Go in
the homes of this city aud you will
see the bottom of refrigerators en-
circled with ant-killing tape, which
as often doesn't kill; the bed posts
will be sitting in pans of coal oil,
aud still the ants parade around at
their own sweet will. Father
Blever has a big proposition on
his hands, but believes that be can
accomplish much with his plan.

A BATH fOR PIGS.

the Rural World, may be used for

such tanks, but one can throw
their hinder parts in first, so that
they can . crawl mp the steep IN

The ground should be well

drills about three feet apart in the
row, cover lightly, and roll the
ground after sowing with roller.

For best results we prefer the
fiat and globe shaped beets as the
long varieties do not sell well.
Plant the Egyptian Round beet.
There is also new variety called
the Electric beet which is a great
favorite with market gardeners
on account of their symmetrical
round shape, bright color and ten
der qualities and we can recon-
mend them highly to our readers.
Beets must be pulled and shipped
with the tops on to sell well. The
tops are used by many as winter
green.
Pull them carefully and clean off
all fibrous roots. Many shippers
wash their beets, but our experience
has always been that washed vege-
tables do not ship so well. We
therefore recommend dry cleaning
Tie from three to five beets in a
bunch aud ship either in crates or
barrels. For close points and state
markets beets may be shipped
without ice, but ice should be dis
tributed throughout the barrel for
longer distance shipments.
II is a good plan to mark the
number of dozen of punches on
the barrel as it will help the mer-
chant to quick sales, also mark
your name and town on every pack

ALL ABOUT BETS.

Beets, as a money making crop,
fer fall aud winter gardens in the
South are receiving considerable
attention by Southern truckgrow-
ers, the demand for the beats has
even exceeded the supply, and we
can safely advise the planting of
beets by our growers. Beets are
abo0t as easily grown as turnips
aud the yield per acre is sometimes
several tons, and profit from
800 70 5000 per acre has often
been realized. Beets in the win
terume are in good demand in
large cities, from 80 cents to 81 per
dozen punches, with the tops left
on
Beets are also very nutritious,
containing large percentage of
sugar aud protein, therefore valu-
able family use, stock and poultry.
