Raising 1000 hogs a year without
ever having any sign of cholera in the
herd is the claim put forth by M. Bar
Der of Bloomington, Neb. He makes q
speciality of this industry and has 300
acres of alfalfa, where the hogs are
raised.
my hogs are raised in the field from
the time they are pigs till they are
about months old, when l put them
on feed of corn" said Mr. Barber to-
representative of the Kansas City
Drovers' Telegram. "If fed In summer
time l soak the corn. But the alfalfa
is the most important feed they get,
and is the one great thing that keeps
them healthy all the year around. In
all the years that l have been raising
and handling hogs In this way, never
had a case of hog cholera on my farm.
This is due to the alfalfa, which keeps
the hogs healthy"

been directing the closest research of
the whole scientific world for more
than century past has been the solv-

the growing demand that has resulted
from the extensive Developments of
agriculture for heterogeneous foods The

245 on the renovation Of wornout soils,
says:
ITO build up and maintain fertility
In the soil, feed large part of the
crops, and return the manure to the
land If manure Is not available, pillow
under crops grown for the purpose.
Plow deep, but do not subsoil. Grow
leguminous crops for the nitrogen they
add to the soil.
Commercial fertilizers and lime may
be important means of improving the
soil but the fertilizer requirements OF

Water and saIt for Cow.

Eight gallons of water a day Is the
average quantity required for a COW,
and the milk givenis about 81 per cent
water. In some pastures there IS no
water, the cows being supplied night
and morning, which forces such COW to
drink four gallons at time In order
TO be supplied. AS the cow does not
know that she must drink four gallons,
she may use less. and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.
Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tons to determine the ACCESSIBILITY Of
adding salt to the ration of dairy
cows. AS a result OF these trials, 1t is
recommended that dairy cows be given
at least one ounce Of salt per day. Ex-
ceptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed In
these trials indicate that salt I'm addi-
ton to that obtained In their food is
absolutely essential to the continued
health Of a dairy COW, while producing
milk. 1t is evident, moreover, that
the amount Of salt which must be sup
piled directly will greatly vary in diff.
ferent localities, 1t being more at bigh
elevations and at places remote from
the sea.-Agricultural Epltomist.

elements than children. Children are
frequently made sick by exposure to
storms and from sitting all day with
wet feet and damp clothing after wad-
Ing snowdrifts, slush, and mud on the
way to school.
Regarding the cost Of transportation,
he says that the farmers are already
maintaining the most expensive system
possible. He says that through the
sending OF children to graded schools
and high schools, the farmers are
paying double toll, not only
maintaining their own inefficient
schools, but assisting through tuition
charges in maintaining city schools. He
has secured figures which largely prove
his assertion.
Advantages of Consolidation.
The advantages arising from consol-
idation, according to Dean Davenport,
are as follows:
ut is much cheaper for the same
grade Of school.
AT the same expense much better
schools can be provided, because fewer

can be secured, a division of labor es-

Young Farmers Going to cities.

A recent news telegram from York,
Pa, says: with the return to the
county commissioners to-day Of the last
registry assessors book 1t was shown
by the totals that the population OF
voters in the county has decreased in
six months nearly 400. The shrinkage
, in the male population is attributed by
the commissioners to the desertion of
the farms by young men. most of whom
have been lured to Philadelphia and
other cities under the impression that
they can speedily make fortunes.
I'm the borough of Red Lion sixty
voters have gone to the city within six

Treatment Of The soil.


We have but little more definite
knowledge of the soil and the principles
involved in its treatment than we had
sixty years ago, says the Scientific
American. Fertility is not nitrogen
phosphorus, and potassium alone,
Though the potential value Of any field
or State. or country. from the agricul-
tural standpoint, is measured by these
constituent elements In Its soil; yet IL
has been demonstrated that soils which
contain an abundance of these elements,
and which are potentially capable OF
producing crops for centuries perhaps
are not capable of producing profitable
crops without the addition Of further
amounts or these constituents The
chemical Investigator Is, therefore, com
PEELED to take into consideration other
facts than this. He must. II he would
cover the whole field, know something
of geology, of botany. OF physics, or
biology, of bacteriOlogy, and or the
other natural sciences. because chem
istry alone is not capable OF fully COM
passing the problem; thus, the oppor-
tlnity for specializing in any brancn
has been very great, and it is because
of the broadness OF the subject ana
the opportunity. as already pointed OUT
and the necessity. also, for giving imme-
date help from the knowledge that we
have that has prevented in degree a

Annther Chonte story.

It is related Of Joseph Choate, that
when he was a very young man, just
starting out to practice law, he was
once retained by a shopkeeper to de-
fend him in a suit for damages brought
by an employe. Unfortunately for Mr..
Choate, his client lost his head COM
pletely under cross-examination, fur.
nishlng evidence so favorable to the
prosecution as to result in a $4,000
verdict.
The merchant was, nevertheless,
highly indignant with his lawyer for
having lost the case and when they
encountered each other at the court
room door, he clustered:
"If 1 had a son born an idiot I'd
make him a lawyer"
"Your father seems to have been of
another opinion" replied young Choate,
