LIVE STOCK NOTES.


Growing pigs should be provided
free from dust Remember that filth
breeds disease.
1t is a mistake to think that hogs
or any other animal can shift for
themselves while they are young, and
then expect that you can make up for
such neglect in the end.
Do not think that good cows are pro-
duced accidentally. They are man s
improvement, and 1t is up to you as
a breeder to understand how far traits
and tendencies can be counted upon
for transmission in offspring. Pedi-
grees do not make butter or beef. but
oftentimes makes sales. 1t is the in
dividual that counts.
The growing pigs may be helped
along in two ways: one is by feeding
sows literally on those feeds that tend
to produce milk; and the other is by
giving the pigs clean food OF the right
kind, such as clover and alfalfa.
A pedigree is a good thing to refer
to but the individuality of the animal
must not be lost sight of. The story is
told of a dude who went in his auto
mobile to call on a country lass. Dur
ing the conversation with the young
lady he said. Il can trace my fore
fathers for seven generations" The
reply came from the girl: Why that
is a remarkable performance. What
else can you do?"
May is a good month to buy pigs
and shoats for feeding for the fall
market, provided there is plenty of
pasture on the farm. 1t will require
only three or four weeks of strong
feeding at the end to produce q good
animal.
A flock or sheep will get more sub
stance on poor land and at the same
time do 1t more good than any other
stock on the farm.
If the farmer is looking for quick re-
turns in live stock and for large per-
centage on the money invested there
are no animals on the farm that will
beat the SOW and the eve.
One of the causes for weak lambs is
the result of compelling the ewes to
live on coarse food.
Much lameness in horses is due to
improper shoeing. Horses should be
shod by competent blacksmiths. Is
yours one?
A wide range in summer feeding may
be used at the start of the feeding
period with profit, but it must get mar
row as the feeding period advances.
There is no stock about the farm
that will not eat good silage. If care
is exercised working horses may be
fed on silage.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-12
POULTRY NOTES.

Select your stock OF pullets as soon
as they are well developed; select more
than you expect to use, SO you can re-
iect chose that develop Objectionable
features.
Chickens should never be allowed to
roost till ten or twelve weeks old. If
allowed to perch too young their
breasts often get crooked and their
growth and appearance at the table
spoiled.
With laying hens it is a, compare
lively easy matter to overdo the feed
ing when given too much whole grain,
especially of corn and fat producing
food. If the hens become too fat they
will cease laying.
While it may be possible that old
hens are too fat to lay, it is rarely so
with pullets. Feed them abundantly.
Even with old hens in a majority of
cases less laying goes on as IA result
of under than over feeding; unless well
fed, hens cannot lay well.
Never refuse fair price for a bird
you do not want TO keep for breeding
purposes. At the same time never sell
a good bird that yon need yourself. To
be me st successful you must keep the
best and do not lie tempted to sell even
at a fancy price.

CHAPTER XVIII
The Truth-speakins of Boris and
Jorian,

This is the report of Captains Boris
and Jorian, which they gave in face
of their sovereigns In the garden
pleasaunce of the palace of Plassen-
burg.

said Hugo, leaning little further
back.
''Ay. tell us ALL" assented Helene,

Hugo. "He will tangle himself rarely

rected himself. There was, as say,
no fighting There was none to fight

A Ear-Seejno Seat.

The following story is told Of an
eccentric Scottish keeper on an estate
in the north of Scotland:
He was once guiding a shooting par
ty up near the top of steep and high
mountain Suddenly, when they had
reached great height. one of the
beaters gave a loud yell. and seized
himself by the back OF the neck.
Through his interlocked white fingers
bright blood oozed. The man had
been peppered with stray shot in the
nape.

thinking the accident much worse

CULTIVATING CORN.

I think the cultivation of corn
should commence before it is up, by
running over it with fine tooth har-
row, writes an Indiana correspondent.
This will kill all weeds that have COM
menced to sprout. Then harrow once
after the corn is up. Just go ahead and
pay no attention to the corn. You
may scartch out hill once in awhile,
but not enough to notice them. 1t
may seem like you are covering it all
up, but it will be out again the next
day. Don't cultivate too deeply.
think shallow cultivation is the thing.
If the weather permits we should cul-
tivate every week, especially if the
weather is dry. BY shallow cultivation
we form dust mulch which prevents
evaporation. We should continue our
work with the cultivator until the
corn gets too large to get through it,
and then If we LAY it by" don't put on
large shovels and ridge up the ground,
because you will break the roots of
the corn and allow the ground to dry
out more by exposing more of its sur
face to the air. besides leaving the
ground in poor condition for sowing
wheat. The last plowing should be
shallow and leave the ground level. |
believe it would be better to continue
going through the corn with a one
horse harrow or drag until the first
of August. This is something that not
very many people do on account of
other work crowding just at this
time.

PLANNING AND PLANTING THE
GARDEN.

In the winter l make out plan of
my next seasons garden, shifting from
year to year each variety of vegetable
to a place it has not occupied for sew
eral years. l am persuaded that how
ever much you may fertilize, few
plants do well in the same place year
after year Some, like cabbage and
cauliflower, must have new ground
every year. When planting time
comes, with my plan before me,
measure off the spaces between the
rows and drive a short stake at the
end of each row ready for the garden
line when the time comes to plant
each particular row. AS / plant the
rows l check off on the plan so as to
avoid mistakes

CHAPTER xxvII.-continued.
The only one Of the party wholly
without a settled plan was the woman
most deeply interested. Theresa Won
Lynar simply rode to Courtland ts
save her son or to die with him. She
alone had no influence with Prince
Louis. no weapon to use against him
except her woman's wit.
When in the morning light OF the
second day they came in sight of
Courtland. and saw on the green plain
OF the ALA great concourse, 1t did
not need Alt Pikker's shout to urge
them forward at gallop. lest after
all they should arrive too late.
They have brought him out to die, +"
cried Joan. ride for the young
mans life!"
But all their careful plans and
scrupulous intents were in a moment
cast to the winds by the urgency Of
the need. Expecting to find them
eelves instantly captives, they found
themselves instead among a stout and
independent people, stirred to the
highest point of hatred and excited
disgust by the cruelty of the scene
and the horror which they knew must
too certainly ensue.
The sight of their favorite Prince
Conrad raised the highest hopes. not
only among the populace, but In the
army of Courtland itself 1t had long
been a standing toast in every guard
room. ITO the succession of the
cowl!" For they looked to their ideal
knight Conrad that hero without
stain. to deliver their country from
the degrading weakness and subserv-
fence of the reign of Louis, and es-
pecially from the intruding Muscovite
and hated Cossack who had sup
planted themselves as guards in the
very palace of their Prince.
Hence the shouts of "Prince Con-
rad!" our delivered!" THE true
Prince!" Down with Louis!" Drive
out the Russi" which saluted them
everywhere as the cavalcade advanc-
ed slowly through the press.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-12

1t is now the busiest time of the year
for the farmer and his horses and the
care of the horse should not be neglect
ed. A proper currying and brushing
daily pays. 1t removes the filth from
the surface of the skin, and improves
the coat; and most of all the horse
needs is proper food. Corn, when fed
exclusively, is unfit for work horse.
There is nothing better than good oats.
When the farmers learn the difference
in the values of different grains, this
country will have better horses For
horse hay, timothy with little clover
is just what is wanted. The horse
should be watered regularly and not
worked to excess. Do not try to do
three days work in one, for it never
pays.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-12

Many farmers fail to realize how
much easier and cheaper it would be
to do more of the required cultivation
before the crop is planted. Begin your
preparations early enough so that
when you have land ready to plant you
can leave 1t alone for week or more.
and then harrow and cultivate the sur
face over again. One crop OF weeds
will thus be dstroyed at light ex-
pense and the surface will be brought
into finer tilth and better prepared to
receive the seed On lands liable to
suffer from drought this process may
be profitably extended for weeks or
months before planting the crop.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-07-12

May is the best month for corn
planting in this latitude. 1t is best
not to be in too much of a hurry, as the
earlier, the damper the ground will be,
the corn is liable to :ot and will grow
more slowly. But il planted when the
ground is thoroughly warm and warm
weather presides it will grow very
rapidly. The ground for corn should
be very finely cultivated. Corn is our
main crop and any point of cultivation
should not be neglected. Do not be in
too much of hurry. 1t does not pay
to piow the ground when too wet, as
1t Injuries the land and slow progress
is made. There is no profit in work
ing in the mud.

cu1r1vAr1Ne ORCHARDS.


An old fruit grower says it is the
safest plTn to cultivate an orchard at
least fiva years after 1t is planted
But" says the general farmer. whose
main interests are in other crops, Il
do not raise fruit for sale except Incl
derltally, and / cannot AFFORD the time
from my more important money crops
to regularly cultivate my orchard, un-
less there is some crops besides the
fruit which will pay me for the time
and labor" While cultivating the or
chard per Sc, is the ideal plan, there
are certain minor crops, which might
be denominated orchard crops. whose
cultivation does not interfere with the
del elopment of the trees, and under
the above conditions which the farm
er urges, it is highly advisable to
plant them between the tree rows rath-
without cultivation. Deep plowing too
near the trees should be avoided, but
unail they attain their full develop
ment, there Is ample space in the mid
die of the rows for corn. cotton, ground
peas. sweet or Irish potatoes, melons
any crop in fact which requires con-
slant cultivation. Grain of any kind
should never be sown in an orchard,
on penalty of permanent injury to the
trees, not only because these crops pre-
vent cultivation just at the season the
trees most need it, but because they
tal.e from the soil the very elements
most needed for their proper develop
mont. Any of the crops named may
be cultivated without injury to the
trees, provided always that the young
tree roots are protected against injury
from deep blowing; the plowing near
the trees should always be shallow,
and the limbs protected, as far as pos
sible from mutilation or other injury.
After the trees have attained their
growth, crop of late COW peas iss an
excellent enricher of the soil. When
the trees reach the bearing stage, the
orchard may be sown in grass or
clover, If the sod is not allowed to
stand more than three or four years.
Hogs and poultry are good scavengers
in an orchard, as they destroy many of
the insect enemies, and also the fallen
fruit, which is often a harbor for pro-
tecting and developing myriads of
thsse pests. Cattle and horses should
never be allowed to run in an orchard.
We have seen one horse destroy in
few moments enough in value to pay
for his food for a month.

"These beautiful days should be an
inspiration to every one, and especial
ly to those of us who are fortunate in
living them out of doors and having

licious air and rich color. We have

those who could not enjoy farm life.

Nothing wastes so much time on a
farm as lack of system. No matter
what sort of work is to be done it pays
to plan it all beforehand and make
provision for everything that may

ness or whatever else is needed, are
ready. Get ready before you are about
to start. and no time will be lost.
