Home and Farm:

Home and Farm:
The era of big hogs seems to be
passing away. Hogs weighing 125
to 200 pounds-the smooth, small
boned kind-bring the best money.
Profit lies not so much in big crops
as in good ones. A 50-acre farm prop
erly titled and cared for will yield
quality that is worth more money than
will farm twice the size, with a crop
of an inferior sort.
The Arizona station has recorded the
results of a cold rain on the flow of
milk of the station herd. The cows
we're exposed for three days to a cold
rain. During this time the herd de-
creased 81 per cent. in milk yield
and continued until it reached so per
cent, and it was a month until the
COWS gave as much milk as before the
storm. This is what might be called
a cash illustration of the value of
sheltering COWS from cold rains.
Goose feathers are often treated in
this After being spread in
some clean, dry, airy place they should
be turned over with a fork every few
days until thoroughly dried. If placed
in bags and we'll steamed they are
more valuable, as the steam has a
tendency to purify them. removing
much of the oily odor they naturally
have.
When manure becomes heated and
the odor of amonia is noticed there
is then a loss of valuable fertilizing
substance-nitrogen. If the heat is
very high force a crowbar down in
the heap in several places and pour
cold water in to reduce the tempera-
ture.
One hundred pounds of wheat bran
contains 1872 pounds of digestible pro-
TEN, 1872 pounds digestible carbohy-
drates and 2.7 pounds either extract or
fat.
Manure is simply materials that
have been softened and decomposed
~(digestcd) within the body of an n
imal. To apply such raw materials
as bran and Iinseed meal directly to
the soil would be of no advantage,
Notwithstanding that they are excel
lent fertilizers, their value being in
creased by feeding stock.
Musty or dusty hay is undesirable
always; and if a horse has the
heaves, it should BE sprinkled enough
to lay the rust. 1t would be better
still to feed better hay.

An Undesirable Article,

When Mr.. B. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and SO had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed in a corner, and when he rose
to leave he overlooked it. His hostess
happened to notice it before he had
reached the door, and called to her
little daughter:
Marie, run after Mr.. B. and tell
him he has left his grip here!"
The little n gave her mother n
swift glance of surprise, but flew duti-
fully to obey orders.
"Oh, Mr.. b." they heard her say,
mother says you have forgotten to
take your grip with you" Then she
added, quickly, in a tone OF polite
apology: "You see, most all of us
have had it this winter, and we'd
rather not have any more!"

Horticultural Hints.

Texas Farmer:
Small grain and hay crops take too
much fertility from the soil to do well
in orchards.
Orchards will do good On we'll drain
ed soil only. 1t is time wasted to set
them elsewhere.
Grape vines should be pruned in the
fall or early in the spring, before
the sap begins to flow.
There is so much pleasure and profit
in early vegetables that every farmer
should have a hot bed.
In whatever state it may be, a
southeast slope is regarded as a good
location for an orchard.
An orchard as soon as set helps
the selling price of a farm, and adds
to it's value as a place upon which to
live.
Some are of the opinion that straw
is the best of all mulches. Others pre-
fer coarse manure, because at the
same time it fertilizes the soil.
There is V a time of the year
when the orchardist will not do well
to have his knife or pruning shears
with him when he passes among his
trees.
Trees making an unusually vigorous
growth do not make SO many fruit
buds as those making less growth.
Nor do buds on headed back tree
start SO early as those on trees not
headed back.
Orchards with little or no cultiva-
tion will yield only about 5 to 10 per
cent as much fruit as those given
careful culture. Cultivation greatly
adds to the life of an orchard.
1t is established that peach trees
that have been well headed back in
the late winter or early spring make a
more vigorous growth the following
season.
One of the most rapid growing trees
IS the cotton wood. But it is some.
times Objectionable because of the
cotton balls and flying fuzz IL pro-
duces.
An experienced grower says that
three things are necessary to success
full peach growing-knowledge, com
mon sense, and perseverance.
A good healthy foliage is one of the
most important essentials to a maxi
mum crop OF m~erchantable crop of
fruit. This can scarcely be obtained
without spraying.
The second or third year pruning
is probably the most important. The
foundation of the future tree is form
ed according to the way it has been
trimmed at that aga

The Railroad Commission, of Arkansas, and the railroads have been having a good deal ot trouble, of late. The Commis- sion put m a schedule of rates which the Railroads claimed was con6scatory. and was, in effect, taking their property without just compensation. The rail- roads brought injunction pro- ceedings against the Commis- sion and restraining order was issued against the Commission, by the Federal Court, ordering the Com mrpission to stop enforc- ing such tariff rates against the Roads, until the reasonableness or unreasonableness of such rates could be investigated, and also enioined the Railroads from operating under the Commis- sion S rates. The Railroads then put on a schedule of much high CT rates, which the Commission was dissatisfied with, and 1t or dered suits brought to enforce penalties for violating it's orders. Whereupon. the Railroads went before the Federal Court and in- stituted contempt proceeding, against the Commission for at tempting to violate the restrain ing order of the Court. Upon a hearing. Judge Trieber, of the Federal District Court, held that the Commission was in con- tempt of Court; but if 1t would dismiss it's suits which 1t had brought and pay all cost the contempt proceedings would stop. This the Commission promptly did. and the matter is ended for the present.
