Cholera and Contagion.
If choic:a breaks out in the ncighbor
hood the farmer should maintain q
strict quarantine against the infected
herds. He should refrain from visits
to farms where they are located. and
should insist on his ncighbors staying
out of his hog lots. Intercourse of all
kinds at this time should be carefully
restricted. The contagion is so easily
carried that the strictest measures are
justifiablc.-G NJ. Rommel.

Uniformity in n herd is the surest
index to the worth Of the stock and
the skill Of the breeder, and its advan-

powers are similar, uniform pigs may

ABOUT HOLLYHOCKS.
How to Grow Them from Seed In
stead of the old-Fashioned Way
from Cuttings.

The old-fashioned way OF increasing
a stock of hollyhocks was by cuttings,
that is, taking pieces of young shoots,
consisting of two joints with lower
leaves removed and roofing them In
fine soil in August. That Is the only
way of increasing a stock OF any given
variety, as the holiyhock does not
come true from seed.
The July number of the Garden
Magazine, however, advises growing
from seed, as less troublesome than
the tedious cutting method, and as Sc
curing very satisfactory results frtn
the new and better varieties of to-day.
Directions for this mode OF propaga-
ton are given, and should be put IN
practice this month
Sow seeds in July in drill one
inch deep in a sunny, rich soil, leaV-
ing plenty of space between the seeds
to allow the young plants to grow
without crowding until the next
spring-not less tnan four inches.
Inc drills should be is inches apart,
to permit cultivation either with the
wheel cultivator or hand hoe. AT the
by a light covering OF straw and
leaves with the boards placed over all,
both to hold the covering and to shed
water. This is of course best done
by having two boards joined together
to form an inverted V. If it is de-
sired to keep the colors separate, of
course they must be labeled in the
rows where sown; but if mixed bed
of hollyhocks is wanted it is far bet
ter to mix the seeds before sowing,
! for somehow or other it is hard to
plant a mixed bed from separate col
ors-at least il is hard to get it done
| satisfactorily.
when the covering is removed the
| following spring the plants will be in
| perfect condition to transplant to the
positions they are to fill in the gar
den. When lifting them take greaS
care to dig deep and secure intact the
| long, fieshy roots, as they are the
standby of the plants during the stress
of hot weather and drought. The rea-
son why there are so many hollyhocks
of only average quality seen, and so
few really good ones. is that insufi-
! clent care is given TO preparing the
soil. The hollyhocll is a plant that
can hardly be oyerfed, and revels in
deep, rich soil. Double dig the place
where they are to be planted and put
generous quantity of rich manure
in the trench when reflling it: or
feed freely all through the growing
| season with nitrate of soda. one-half
| nd
one-fourth ounce each, to two gallons
of water. Give this once in three
weeks.
THE all-outdoor cultivation of hol.
| lyhocks is far more simple than ths
old way of starting them under glass
and, moreover. gives us plants with
stronger constitution. Treated in this
way as a biennial it will give better
results than when grown as a peren-

there is big crop of apples in the
Mississippi valley, notably in Illinois,
Montana, Arkansas and Kansas, and
yet here is man away out on the
Pacific coast hunting up apples for
the New York trade. Why? No such
apples can be bought in the MisSis-
sippi valley. I know this sounds like
boasting, but it is simply the naked
truth. Evidence accumulates going
to show that in the inter-mountain
valleys and on the Pacific slope we
can raise a grade of apples that can
not be equaled anywhere else in the
world. We ship some of our apples
every year across the continent and
across the Atlantic ocean to Liverpool
and London and sell them so high
that there is a good profit to us. The
fruit growers of the Yakima and sim
liar valleys must discard the Ben
Davis, Missouri Pippin and apples OF
that grade, and raise chiefly such as
