leguminous Plants for Swine.

Especially in the corn belt the use
of leguminous plants for swine is
greatly to be recommended. These
plants act as a balancer of the ration
that the swine gets most of, that is,
corn. The man that can raise alfalfa
is fortunate in having a green forage
plant that Is exceedingly rich in pro-
TEN and thus suited to the building
up of a compact, firm frame. Pigs
fed on properly balanced ration will
not be weak-boned, but will be able
to withstand many adverse conditions
that would be too much for them II
built upon a carbonaceous ration.
Pigs in clover" has become a popu-
lar reference and comparison, and, un-
like most popular fancies, it is based
on real merit. Turn the pigs into a
clover field and feed them corn in the
barn and they will thrive. They will
develop powerful frames and as breed
ers will be more prolific than those
pigs that have never tasted the luxury
of a field of fresh clover. Peas that
are commonly grown in the field are
very suitable for pig feed and are
greedily eaten. The hog fancies green
peas as much as the human being.
When the vines are not too ripe he
will eat the vines as we'll as the
seeds,

Improving the Flock.

As to what time a farmer should
improve his flock of fowls will depend
on the conditions surrounding him. II
the question Of improving fowls were
asked in the fall, l should say that
fall was the best time to secure new
blood, as birds are generally to be
bought cheaper in the fall than in the
spring. However, fowls are cheaper
in the winter time than in spring or
summer and if fowls are bought now
they will lay great many eggs before
the Matching season is over. At this
time of year would advise the farmer
to buy male birds. Poultry are shipped
at merchandise rates. Birds will get
along very well if they are shipped in
the right kind of coops, and we seldom
find that they take cold. I do not
know that the railroads exercise ary
particular care to insure the comfort
of birds in transportation in winter.
The farmer should buy stock from a
reliable person if he wishes to avoid
getting birds filled with roup and
other contagious diseases. If he has
any doubt about the birds being free
from diseases he should, on receiving
them, place them by themselves and
not permit them to run with the 9th.

HEmus lackinQ.

As l travel about through this
county notice that there has
been a great decrease in the fer.
tility of many farms. In times past,
according to the reports of the farm.
ers and my own observations, the
crops were much larger than at pres.
ent The cause for this decreased fer.
tility is the continued growing Of
corn year after year and no proper
regard to rotations. So far as can
understand, the chief lack in the soil
of the worst rundown farms is humus.
The farmers are doing almost nothing
to bring these farms back to their first
fertility. According to my experience
I believe that live stock farming,
which will give large amount Of
available fertility, will bring back
these farms to their original condition
Of productiveness, provided that clover
is used In the rotation.-C. D. Smith,
