Watch for 4 Hard Winter.

Albany, July 2.-All Indian sign

winter this year, according to John
Catlin, Of this city, who was reised In
an Indian camp and was q govern.
ment scout for years The IemaI ka-
bly, large crop Of hazlenuts this year
and the speed with which squirrels
are storing them is one omen. The
unusually heavy crop of all kinds OF
wild berIie is another. Still another
sure Indian sign is the fact that
muskrats have already pluoked all
pond lilies and have stored them
away Catlin claims that the musk
rats, when hard winter is foreshad
owed, pick the lilies and hide them
away until they 90 to seed and then
use the seeds for food. Other strange
Indian legends have convinced the
old scout that the present simmer

Irritating Orchards,

To get the best results from irrigat
ing an orchard, the burrows should be
very deep between the rows. This is
hard to do in a very dry time. The
plan is TO pillow with your ordinary
pillow for making a fmrow to run the
water in, turn in a small stream and
let it run until the ground is some
what soaked A half days rain will
be very beneficial in most cases, Then
take coulter pillow. called by some
"bull-tongue,' attach two horses to it
and run it down to the beam. An
ordinary coulter" is about Is inches
long and two horses can easily pull 1t
at the depth given,
Two burrows between the rows of
trees so treated will be about the right
thing-would do in the middle of the
rows, but two, about four feet apart
will do better. A big stream can be
run in such burrows without causing
the washing away of the soil An
extra man to drive the team astride
the burrows, so the coulter could be
kept in the burrows, would be an adj
vantage as the horses are disposed to
walk in the furrow and thus throw
the coulter out. The work can be
done while small stream is running.

There seems to be decidedly less
trouble with hog cholera the last two
or three years than formerly, There
are several reasons for this First and
foremost, farmers are learning to re.
tain their old brood sows longer which
tends to give more constitution for the
offspring. They are also learning 10
feed the brood SOW and her litter more
of a mixed ration, in other words,
more Of a balanced ration, which
means they are feeding for good rich
blood, which will contain plenty Of
bone, muscle and nerve food.
Hog ralsers now have come to see
the necessity of summer pastures,
which also means healthier pigs as
well as cheaper pork. have no doubt
that hog cholera will again appear
some time. for men will forget their
past experience and fall back into thu
old ruts. We are about as forgetful
today as were the children of Israel
in olden times. We look back at them
and say. why should they need be told
over and over the same thing? Why
should they not remember their past
experiences and keep in the right road
ever afterward? Men have not chang
ed much, and we forget the sad ex.
perience of the past just about as
quickly.
In the main, however, we are pro-
crossing, and am fully of the belief
that cholera will gradually become
thing of the past, as hog raisers conc
to understand their animals better and
keep in closer touch with natures
laws and obey the-.. Healthier hogs
will also have a tendency to increase
the consumption of hog products. So
we iced not fear that pork raising

FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE.
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed
SoIemnity of Funeral.

Instead of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial of the
dead great excitement and fear at.
tended the burial the other day Of
Michael Serene, a prominent merchant
of Westport, when by the collapsing
of grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo.
ment one of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave. the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbliug on
it. Several persons rushed to the
edge Of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and in a few seconds five per.
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid flat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completely. Y. Press.

Effect of Tomatoes on Soil.

A Maryland experiment station bu!
letin has the following TO say on this
effect of tomatoes upon the fertility OF
the soil
The tomato is not specially ex
austing crop. Tomatoes do not remove
as much plant food from soils as most
farm crops at the usual rates of pro-
duct per acre. The refuse from an
acre of tomatoes contains more fer
tillzing material than similar remains
of most other crops. The vines and
roots of tomatoes are very rich in
potash.

Cultivation of a Crep.

How many civilizations of cron
Is necessary? Well, just as many as
the ground will permit of, rather than
as few as possible. The original prep
aration of the land and the planting
is much more than half the work and
expense up to the time of harvest. 1t
is poor economy, after having gone
thus far, to skimp the cultivation.
The cost of cultivating a field of corn
or potatoes is not more than SO or 60
cents per acre. If the planting has
been well done the increased yield
will much more than pay its cost.

Alfalfa for Hous.

While it is somewhat early TO be
talking about winter feed for hogs,
and other farm stock, it is the right
time to begin to think about what
should be fed and how to prepare some
of those feeds, As a hog feed, moth
ing is better to go with corn than al.
falfa hay. 1t has been found that hogs
will eat it with a relish and many
times they will eat the moulded hay
which other stock would refuse or
which would be injurious to them if
they did eat it. Even this poor hay
uakes a good ration.
