dry brushing to fit them for use. Al
ways brush out the inside of a pot
before filling with soil. Adhering
crusts make bad work when subse-
quently knocking OUT the ball. If
pots are suspected of having contain
ed diseased plants they should be
sterilized before using by baking in
the oven or, in large way, by super
heated steam.

roots in planting or reporting, and
meet the best requirements for porosi-
ty and free drainage. The quality
sometimes lacking is strength, but as
good healthy plants are more costly
than pots we can overlook this defect
if not unreasonably evident. The old
handmade pots were often durable
enough to become heirlOoms, but were
not always ideal holders for growing
plants. Standard pots are furnished
by all high-class dealers in horticul-
tural supplies, but are seldom found in
ordinary stores, though even they
might be induced to stock them if the
demand should prove insistent.
Cleaning POts.-FOul and dirty pots
are neither pleasant to handle nor con-
ducive to the health of the contained
plants. 1t is a regrettable experience
that the best pots FOR plant growing
foul the quickest. The porous materi-
al Of the sides affords admirable foot
hold for confervae or green shines
that tend to coat all pots when in use.
This can, of course, be scrubbed off
with stiff brush, but the operation
is not as easy as it looks, and has never
proved practical on large scale,
though machines have been invented
for the purpose. The pots wear out
the brushes, even if made of wire, too
rapidly for economical use. The Shiny
coating may, however, be effectually
removed merely by exposing the pots
to the weather for few weeks. The
sun kills the confervae, and the dash
ing rains wash off the loosened film
Alternate freezing and thawing in
winter acts with even more rapidity,
but all makes of pots do not with
stand frost without cracking
will go to pieces like a lump of slak-
ing lime. Clay pots should never be
exposed to freezing weather when
filled with wet soil, as the expansion
is almost sure to cause breakage, but
empay ones sometimes will endure it.
Probably the best way to clean foul
pots in quantity is to lay them in
single layers in an exposed place, and
from time to time in dry weather.

Talk With a Pig Raiser.


Talk With a Pig Raiser.
Those who have an abundance of
milk might make plenty of pork. 1t
only needs good breed of hogs and
little care. The American Guilt
vator tells how one farmer has been
working along that line:
'sHow old are these pigs, Mr.. Farm
err"
'fSix months with the first of April,
and if you will notice, they are ready
for the butcher at any time. They
will dress well and make the finest
quality of meat, just such as now is
so largely in demand"
eyes, 1 see, and how do you manage
to keep them growing and fattening
at such a rate at the same time, Mr..
Farmer?''
''Not much trouble about that, if you
have breed of pigs that are quiet,
healthy and hearty, and that will
grow and take on fat at the same time,
provided they are properly cared for.
"Hhe milk is separated ON the farm,
and therefore of the best quality as
the main feed of the pigs. After the
first two or three months some kind
of grain feed is given along with the
milk, a little at first and gradually
increasing as they get older and can
make use of it. The last month or
two they should be fed all they will
eat up clean, but care should be exer-
cised in not overlooking, as this will
produce bad results.
'"These pigs you see here are very
hearty, and have always kept in a
thriving condition. They should not
be crowded, but have sufficient room
at the trough, so that each may get
his SHARE
Elbow long do you keep sucklings
before disposing of them?' pursued
the visitor much interested
Usually from six to eight months,
according as we have feed-that is
milk-as it is desirable to- get them
out of the way of another lot. You
see this pen here? There is a brood
ready to be taken from the mother and
put through the same process that has
been here described. AS you will see
it does not require a year and a half
to grow up and fatten a hog as
was the case long ago, but like most
other things now, dispatch and the
saving of time is something that has
to be considered"
"Then you raise and fatten two
broods of pigs in year, conclude?"
''Just so. That large brood SOW at
tends to her part of the business right
along, and we follow up doing the
best we can to make it profitable. In
doing this we find that it is a most
useful adjunct to dairy farming, add
ing considerable to the receipts as

with matches, she twill not take advice but
one has hopes that there will be reaction, and
in due course we shall revert to the old methods
of teaching the art of feminine grace. There is
no reason why physical culture and all outdoor
exercises should not have due regard paid to
them, but in combination we must rigidly en-
force ease of movement, quietness of manner,

plaids
A clever girl Is planning really fetching
little costume of plaided tweed, in which gold
en- brown and green show up conspicuously.
The skirt is made over the circular model.
The hobby little coat drops to the hips and
is semi-ftting; this is fashioned Of green vel
vet with band trimming Of brown fur.
The little circular turban is draped in green
velvet with band of fur forming the brim;
little animal head and two soft tails are
perched high on bandeau on the side, thus
completing this chic little headpiece. The
muff is also of velvet, laid in fan plaits and
bordered with brown.
An attractive plaided costume is shown
among the suggestions on this page. The
sole trimming on this costume is velvet very
simply but becomingly employed.
