Keeping HOGS in BOun ds.

Here is an easy plan Of keeping hogs
from going from hog pastures to cow
pastures, and at the same time allowing
the cattle to 60 from one pasture to
the other at will. As shown In the
sketch, the opening in the fence may
be as wide as desired. Two by twelve
inch plank are nailed to the fence posts
about four or six inches from the
ground, and two extra posts are set out
from the fence about a foot. The plank
is nailed to the inside of these posts,
and this plank should be about four
feet longer than the one fastened to
the fence SO as to 60 by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs

The freight and transportation
charges on a full car Of strawberries
from southern points are often from
5000 to $500, while on a car Of south
ern peaches the cost Of refrigeration
and the high priced packages that have
to be used run the cost up above $500
on each car that comes into the State !:
S4OO Of this would be profit or Increased
income to the local grower.
The local grower can often sell di-
rect to consumer: there are no heavy
or refrigerator charges to pay, and
these two items alone often eat up over
one-half to two-thirds Of the gross sales
of fruit brought from distance, while
the local grower saves it.-J. II. Hale,
Connecticut, in American Cultivator.

Some people still think alfalfa should
be sown with nurse crop. Those who
have had experience with 1t know bet
ter. A recent publication Of the Arl-
zona Experiment Station sums up the
facts as follows:
Nurse crops hinder the development
of tops and roots of alfalfa, especially
when by reason Of a thick stand or
rank growth shading effects are e1ces-
sive. After the removal OF the nurse
crop the weakened and undeveloped al
falfa plants are poorly fitted to with
stand drought and the stand may be
lost In the average instance the loss
in yield Of alfalfa due to nurse crop
probably more than offsets return from
the nurse crop Itself.

d. Fl. Stovall says a neighbor who
makes a good living from his apiary
successfully winters his bees through
the cold months In n cellar provided
for the purpose. He states that bees
may be successfully wlntered in cellars
provided the cellar is given over entire
ly to the bees and used for no other
purpose. There Is always an un-
healthy odor, that Is as disastrous to
bees as anything else, emitted from de
cayed fruits. vegetables and such things
as are usually stored In cellars. The
bee cellar should not be entered nor
disturbed any more than Is absolutely
necessary; 1t should be made a quiet,
unmolested home for the little honey

MulchinE Helms.

A very intelligent and observing
farmer says: The Importance Of a
mulch to counteract a drought was
presented to me in a rather forcible
manner last spring. We had planted
few rows Of early beans and after
they had come up we had cold spell,
and in order to save the beans from the
frost, they were covered with planks.
After the danger from frost had passed,
at one end Of the rows the planks were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was a dry sea-
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth of the others The
growth was evidently due to the mois-
ture saved by the planks.

1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries In
the horses hoof may lead to an infec-
ton followed by the formation Of pus
under the horn of the hoof, and a serl-
GUS general disease Of the horse, or at
least the loss Of the hoof.
In a bulletin of the South Dakota
Station, Mr.. Moore recently reported
results obtained in number of cases
from applying strict antiseptic treat
ment to injuries Of this sort. The
method consists In pairing away the
horn Of the hoof from the affected
part until the blood oozes out. The
foot Is then thoroughly washed In So
luton Of bichloride Of mercury, in the
proportion of one part to 500 parts OF
water after which absorbent cotton,
saturated in solution Of the same
strength, is applied to the wound, and
the whole hoof Is packed in cotton, sur
rounded by a bandage and we'll coated
with tar. This prevents any further
filth from coming In contact with the
wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian. Subse-
quent treatment, however, can be ap-
piled by the average farmer, since all
that is necessary is to pour little OF
the solution of blchloride Of mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part of the bandage. The
cotton will absorb enough Of the solu-
ton to keep the wound molstened and
hasten the healing process. If rem
edy Of this sort Is not adopted in the
case Of foot wound in the horse, the
owner runs considerable risk Of seri-
GUS Infection either Of blood poisoning
or lockjaw

Loss of Manure.

An authority claims that fully one
third of the manure voided on the
farms Of the United States Is lost. The
fermentation Of manure Is caused by
the action Of two forms Of organisms
One form is that which requires an
abundance Of oxygen and dies when ex-
posed to it. The former thrives on the
outside Of the heap and the latter in
the interior. The latter's office seems
to break up the more complex particles
and prepare them for the action Of the
former. If the action Of the former
is too rapid a great deal Of the nitro
gen passes off into the air in the form
Of ammonia or free nitrogen, and Is lost
to the soil from whence 1t came.

Corn Land for tho Bean Crop.

SOFh Lana 1Of tno bcAh SEOP'
Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before probably frost. For sew
eral years beans have borne good
price, and II the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption of them Is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting
harvesting and thrashing Of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re-
moves former serious objection to
their culture; and II the crop area on
a farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason Of the cold spring, a
field Of beans might be advantageously
used in extending the seasons crops.
Good corn land Is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that Of corn, hence 1t
does not require any special instructin
or skill to grow them successfully.
