THE FARM.

Inc druggists at Jefferson City
have formed an orgization with the
leading druggiste as officers.
Here is the way to build a water
ing trough for the stable yard that
will last forever and never turn
over. Make a square excavation
as deep as the soil usually freezes
fill this level with the surface,
with small rock and cement and
place, either a half barrel or a
round bottom iron kettle on this
foundation, building up around it
to the top. Then the kettle may
be lifted out or the half barrel
knocked to pieces and the inside
of the trough dressed up with ce-
ment, giving it a permenent
strength and a dignified appear
ance.
No kind of land should become
poor from cropping. Every time
a crop is removed something
should be applied to the land to
return the plant food taken out of
it by the crop. There may be q
suficiency of manure, but fertiliz-
ers are now much cheaper than
formerly, owing to the increased
sources from which they are pro-
duced. On farms where live stock
can be made profitable the ground
should be made richer every year,
and the crops correspondingly in
creased.
Have you noticed that the men
who attend these live stock, agri-
cultural and dairy meetings are,
for the most part, prosperous, we'll
TODD farmersp Those who seek
information generally make use
of it. A man must read and study
and meet with men of experience
in order to realize what he doesn't
know. Furthermore, these meet
ings tend to create interest, to en-
courage effort and to raise farming
above a mere means of making a
living. The agricultural meeting
of whatever nature, is q promoter
of public good. Attend them.
Mr.. Waldo F. Brown, writing in
The Country Gentleman, says:
there is little doubt that during the
next few years there will be an inn
mense increase in the quantity of
alfalfa grown. A farmer of my Q
quaintance who has q hundred
acre farm, and is making lambs a
specially, writes me that four
years ago he sowed eleven acres
of alfalfa. He has been feeding
500 hundred lambs for the market
each winter, and before raising
alfalfa, he depended or clover
hay, but says that a careful esti-
mate for the four years show that
the eleven acres of alfalfa feed as
many lambs as fifty acres Of clover
had. AS it is an admirable hog
feed, men on small farms will find
that by growing alfalfa, moving
it and feeding it at hog house, they
can raise a very much larger mum :
Der of hogs ON their farms. than
when they depend, as most farm
ers do, on corn exclusively. Then
if they will have sorghum planted
early, $50 as to begin feeding it in
August, the feeding of green foods
can be extended until the winter
sets in and then the sorghum that
has been allowed to mature, and
been cut and cured, can be used to
feed from that time until spring.
there is no doubt that by follow
ing this method, pork can be pro-
duced much cheaper, and the dam
ger of cholera be largely avoided
by this succulent, bulky food.
