This condition is frequently brought

no satisfactory explanation to offer for
their presence. They are also found

doubtedly too much stress has been
laid upon this condition. In young
pigs, where this condition Is most fire.
quently seen, long sharp teeth may be
present which 1t would be better to
cut Off Denttion may also be taking
place and the black tooth may be n
shell, and there may be irritation of
the gums, causing the pig to hold tho
mouth open, to salivate and to refuse
to eat.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The principal test Of whether the sow
is q good mixer or not is the condition
of her pigs, and her condition while
sucking them. If they do well and she
eats literally, keeps up good health
and digestion, and at the same time
gets a little thin while nursing them,
1t Is pretty good evidence that she ia
a good mixer, and will do to keep as
long as her usefulness lasts. But look
out for the SOW that fattens between
narrowing and weaving time Her pigs
either die or become runts, for she
is not making good use Of her feed that
n good SOW should.

When stock is given the use Of early
green rye the results are not Away
satisfactory, and farmers find that the
cattle lose flesh and less milk is given
Rye is one of the most useful plants
for providing early green food at sea-
son when grass does not appear, Du'
it's injurious effects upon animals is
not due to the rye being an unsuitable
food, but rather because or allowing
the animals free access to it. IN It's ear
ly stages Of growth (Which are really
the times when it is most in demand)
it is composed almost wholly of water
the proportion of solid matter being
very small. 1t contains several salts
in solution, and it's effects upon the
bowels are laxative; hence it is not
only weakening, but causes the animals
to lose flesh There is a right way tC
use early rye, however, and that IS td
allow stock on the rye field but short
time each day at first, and then gradu.
ally extend the period Of grazing. When
cattle have been kept on dry food FOL
six months the green rye is to Them
luxury, and if it is allowed them judi
ciously it will improve their condition.
Both rye and crimson clover will be
ready for use in short time, and they
will always prove profitable crops to
those who keep stock, as they shorten
the dry-feeding period Of winter. When
the early green foods are given the
stock, and the bowels are affected, one
of the indications is that the green
food is serving as medicine and should
too much green food have been con
sumed, give warm mess of corn meal
seasoned highly with salt, and a full
allowance of hay. There is no danger
in green food, however, If the COWS are
not allowed to consume too much, but
as every farmer knows, there IS liabili
ty of "bloat" (hoven) by eating any
kind of green food to excess.

Profit In SQUADS.

A squad breeder says for the past
year our squads have averaged us q
fraction over sixty cents a pair. Now
with an average, as he places it, OF
six pairs a year. we have a return OF
$500. The cost of breeding can be
brought inside of ninety cents n pair
if bought in large quantities. It would
be we'll to allow so cents a pair fol-
labor and supplies, as grit, charcoal
tobacco stems, etc, although the ma
nure will, we think, offset this If sold
to the best advantage. Although some
Of the large profit stories in the squat
business are absurd. it seems as if the
inexperienced breeder should get a
profit Of $500 a year from each pair
provided he starts with weIl-mated
pure Homer stock. The one great Sc
cret Of success is to have only mated
birds. The amount Of damage one I'M
mated bird can do in a loft really
seems incredulous. Such a bird IL
seeking a mate will visit each nest
ard such a visit naturally results in q
fight with the legitimate owner. This
damage may be imagined-eggs rolled
out of the nests and squads trampled
and killed. Good stock is the secret OF
success, and the same care goes hand in
hand with it.

Grazing Land.

The grazing Of land by a mixed stock
of cattle, sheep and horses result in
the land being more easily grazed than
when only one kind is kept. Where,
however, many sheep are kept with
cattle, the sheep pick out the finest Of
the grass and clovers, and the cattle
do not thrive as we'll. But sheep, on
the other hand, eat with avidity and
impunity much that cattle dislike and
avoid. Many pastures, grazed only
with cattle, are often in the spring
time covered with Weeds which few
sheep mixed in with the cattle would
keep, down. Horses, when kept in a
pasture by themselves, are very uneven
grazers A few kept in a large cattle
pasture will Craze the rank places
where cattle have previously left their
manure, and also about places where
the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much bet
ter when they are able to select their
own foods.

days about the source of drinking
water. Wooden curbing, absolutely no
ventilation in many cases and poor
soils for the publication Of water have
brought about the change. A farmer
who believes that plenty of pure air
in the we'll will aid much in the purity
of the water gave us the following
plan: The frame for the support Of
the platform is made of 2 by is, al
lowing a space of four to six inches be-
tween the top and bottom parts of the
sides. This space is covered on the
inside with two screens. The first is
a large mesh, to keep out large vermin.
Over this is a fly screen, to keep out
dirt insects, ETC. The we'll never be-
comes foul. III winter the platform is
covered with straw and snow.-Iowa

The Garden in Spring.

The first thing to do with a garden
plot is to pillow it. and harrow the land
until it is as fine on the surface as It
can possibly be made. If the work is
to be done with a horse the longer the
rows the better. Use only plump ana
sound seed, procured from reliable
seedsmen and use too much seed rather
than too little, as it is easier to thin
out the surplus plants than to replant
the vacant places. Use only Well-rot-
ted manure, and work it we'll into the
soil If fertilizer is used, let 1t be
broadcasted and narrowed in. The saw
ing of labor will largely depend upon
watching the weeds If the wheel hoe
or wheel cultivator is used just as the
weeds are appearing above ground the
top soil will always be kept fine and
loose, and fewer weeds will appear
after each cultivation. Cultivated in
that manner an ordinary garden can
be worked in an hour or two; but If
the weeds are allowed to grow until
they are several inches high they will
injure the garden plants and increase
the labor fourfolG. That is the main
point-to cultivate as soon rs the weeds
terminate. Do not put in the seeds too
soon while the ground is cold, as they
may fail to terminate. When the ap-
pie trees are in bloom is the best time
for planting the garden crops, as the
ground will then be in excellent condi-
ton, warm, and the danger from frost
past. Vegetables and small fruits cost
less than corn, wheat and oats in pro
portion to area occupied and the labor
bestowed.

SPRING FrOStS,

Early and late frosts are disliked b.
farmers, but such frosts do more harm
to insects than the severe cold Of win
ter, as they catch many of them out OF
the ground or just below the surface
1t has been noticed that when the win
tiers are severely cold and the ground
remains frozen until well into thu
spring, insects are more numerous the
following summer than when the win
tiers are mild. 1t is the alternate freez
ing and thawing that does the damage
to insects, especially when there Is 6
warm rain, followed by a sudden freez
ing of the ground just below the sur
face.

Labor can be saved in blowing, and
the work we'll done by properly laying
off the plot. A square acre, plowet
with a 15-inch furrow, requires 81
rounds and 1856 turns. The same area
in the form of a parallelogram, 2x8(
rods, requires only 13 rounds and s.
turns, thus requiring much less time
to do the work. The same rule ap
plies to cultivation. The longer the
rows the less time required, as there
will be fewer turnings at the ends o!
the rows. It is the turning of the pillow
or cultivator that causes loss of time

DUKE is AN ENGINEER.
Spanish Grandee Drives Express Train
and Lives Like Fellows.

The young Duke of Zarazoga, beside
being grandee of Spain. is a young
man with ideas that look frolicsome on
the surface. Twice a week he may be
seen driving the express train from Mad
rid to the French frontier.
When the duke first expressed his wish
to be appointed driver of one of the
trains running from Madrid to Irun he
naturally much astonished the members
of the committee of the North Spanish
and personally acquainted with him.
The application was at first thought to
be a hoax. but on the Duke of Zarazoga
insisting he was put through an exam
nation, in which he proved to be a skill
full driver. He dresses as a common
driver and lives the same kind of life
as his working comrades, with no regard
to his title or his wealth.

ANIMAL SPIRITS PUNISH.
Chinese Believe Souls Torment Those
Who Iniure Their Bodies.

It is a common belief among Chinese
that if one commits any crime against
certain animals-cats, for example-the
soul of that animal will take possession
of the wrongdoer until the olfense has
been purged.
A servant girl, according to the ORR
entail tale, unmindful of tradition, put
to death a cat and it's three kittens. She
was taken violently iii. Her mistress,
suspecting the cause from the fact that
the maid was scratching and mewing,
apostrophized the body of the dead cat,
demanding to know why it thus tor
mented the girl.
The spirit of the cat, speaking by way
of the girls mouth, denounced the quad
ripple murder. The whole story was
told by the girl in the character of the
cat. Then she expired in violent con-

The argument is occasionally made
that the continued use of silage has Il
deleterious effect upon the constitution
of the animal. The ground taken is
that the acids affect the digestive func-

been substantiated, and the average
feeder need have no fears in this re-
gard.-Professor f. w. Taylor, New
