Europe sometimes overwhelms her American child with blessings. One weeks shower of English periodicals contains the declarations that the American army is the most intelligent. highly trained and best equipped in the world, and that the American woman is better read and more cul- tivated than the English woman of corresponding class. These things are pleasant to read, but it will be well to offset them with the warning of a German critic who has lived among us. that the prevailing culture of our men is very low. that we leave the high and fine things of life too much to our women

Feeding Live Stock.

The profitable feeding Of live stock
is one OF the main features of farm
ing. vet farmers are 50 accustomed 70
feeding certain foods that they Will
not readily change from one kind to
another, although there is such n
thing as feeding an abundance while
the animal is really fnsufficiently sup
piled. For example. corn is deficient
in lime. though rich in OIL in starch.
Hogs that are fed mostly on corn be-
come weak because there are insult
ficient bonc-fOrmng elements in the
food, ana it has been the case that
whole herds have died. apparently
from disease, when in fact the animals
simply demanded proper foods. In
one case, where Il farmer lost a num-
Der Of hogs, and had attributed the
cause to hog cholera" al remedies
failed until one Of the hired men hap
pencd to try wood ashes. At once an
Improvement was noticed, and soon the
so-callcd disease was conquered. Tho
fact was that wood ashes contain a
large proportion Of lime, as well as d
certain percentage of phosphates, thu;
supplying the animals with something
that could not be procured from the
corn. and yet every farmer should I'M
derStand such fact. though many of
them will not devote their attention
in that direction. 1t is not at all nee
esSary for any farmer to feed wood
ashes to swine. When n hog shows y
desire for wood ashes the evidence is
produced that the feed is deficient in
lime and ph0sphates. Hogs consume
wood ashes because they do not re-
ceivc something better.
Secretary Wilson, of the Agriculture
al Department, is preparing to educate
the hon, the supplemented, industr-
GUS fowl which adds SO much to ma
tional wealth. The hen has been doing
pretty we'll in the past, producing eggs
and Matching chickens and making 10
fuss about it. Last year there were
twelve billion eggs laid in this country
1t is considered q pretty good job for
a hen to lay $40 eggs year. At cent
apiece this is producing large returns
from the investment. But the govern
ment is not satisfied. 1t thinks it can
produce u hen that will lay 365 eggs
a year. allowing no rest on Sundays
or legal holidays. The idea is to keep
the hen from revertinS TO her mater
nal instincts. This is hard on the hen,
seems unconstitutional in fact. but it
is fine exhibition of the strenuous
ness of modern life, the best eXempli-
fication of the law Of the survival Of
the fltest. Hens must work all the
time and only incubators without
motherly feeling must rear the brood.
1t is rough on the hen, but we welcome
the change in the interest of the en-

Success With Lilies,

In spite of the beauty of lilies and
the cas-" with which they may be
grown, few of them are seen in private
gardens This lack may be rcmedied
by following a few simple rules. There
is a vast variety of lilies and among
them may be found those suitable for
almost any kind Of soil
The first requisite for successful lily
culture is good drainage, rot only on
the surface of the bed, but at its bot
tom as well. This may be obtained by
raising the bed several inches above
the surrounding level and placing
broken crockery, pots or stones in the
bottom. spading the bed two feet deep.
The best soil is n loan enriched with
thoroughly rotted manure. If the soil
is heavy liberal quantity OF sand,
mixed we'll will insure better drainage
and prevent decay. A little sand di-
rectly beneath each bulb insures
against decay. The beds should be
kept free from weeds and cultivated
occasionally in dry weather. Mois-
ture may also be saved in dry, hot
weather by mulching the beds with
straw or old manure.
The bulb should be planted five to
eight inches deep. This depth of
earth will better enable the plants to
withstand drouth and cold. A cover
ing of leaves, straw or manure should

About Pigs.

The rule is to grow the pigs during
the period when grass is abundant
and fatten them when cold weather
arrives. never keeping a pig over from
fall until spring if it can be avoided,
though it may be mentioned that the
large hog also has it's admirers. An
experienced breeder, who Is partial to
extra-heavy hogs, claims that hogs
can not be too large or fat, as indi-
viduals have been known to reach 800
pounds. or more. To make his hogs
grow fat when they had become too
sluggish to go to the trough and eat,
because their limbs were too weak to
support their bodies, he takes the
food to them when lying down, and
they win eat and thrive for many
weeks after they are unable to walk
to the trough. Such method, how
ever, is too laborious to be generally
practiced. Let them eat, rest and
sleep. A good hog will then add con-
