after all, was a limited field for

There are customs which are rigid
ly adhered to in the sowing or plant
ing Of staple crops Glover is usually
sown on wheat land in the spring, the
seed being scattered over the ground
when it is covered with snow in order
to facilitate the work. One of the
rigid rules is to SOW a certain quantity
of seed Gas little as possible if seed is
high), and should the stand be light
the cause is ascribed to everything but
the quantity of seed that has been
used. That fact is that seed should be
used more literally, as much of it is
destroyed in various ways before germi-
nation, the saving of seed causing a
loss of clover. Another point is to
harrow the wheat, seed down the Glow
er and then use roller on the land.
The better the preparation for clover,
the more seed will terminate and the
more perfect the "catch."

In summer the farmer has plenty of
work on hand, and work that must
have prompt attention, but the work
needed in the garden is that which he
should least neglect. His living depends
on it. at least he ought to think so, and
act on that belief. 1t is certain that
there is no other part of his entire
work so important to the health and
comfort of his family and himself, and
the actual saving of expenses which a
bounfeous garden insures is a feature
which alone warrants him in making a
good garden, no matter what other
work many cause him to defer. 1t is
presumed that he has by this time of
year made all necessary preparations
for a supply of fruit for family use
during the entire summer, and much of
the provision for supply Of staple
vegetables should be completed, but
there is time for much more, and it
will not pay to neglect it.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Inforned in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and it's component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

WEAVING Pigs.

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the sows, and in weaving
them much care will be necessary tC
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed, and pen should then
be provided for them where they can
be coaxed and given a little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to it at all times. Milk or swill should
be fed to them, a little at first, and
increased gradually daily. 1t will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh.
clean swill they will drink up clean
at each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour, or so much-swill that ii
will stand in the trough and sour. Feed
them this way until you see that the
SOW is dried up, then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.
