Don't Neglect the Garden.

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. ana
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
bounteous garden insureS is q 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 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.

WEAVING Pigs.

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the SOws. and in weaving

around for feed, and pen should then
be provided for them where they can

to it ut all times. Milk or swill should
be fed to them. Il little at first, and

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 ii is covered with snow in order
to facilitate the work. one of the
rigid rules is to SOW certain quantity
of seed las little as possible if seed is
high, and should the stand be light
the cause is ascribrd 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 gcrmi-
nation, the saving Of seed causing a
loss of clover. Another point is to
harrow the wheat. seed down the clov-
er and then use Il roller ON the land
The better the preparation for clover
the more seed will terminate and the
more perfect the "catch.'

Mixed breeding.

-"hAVu
In mixed breeding, or cross breed
ing, nothing is accomplished beyond
the first cross, says Colorado veter-
mary bulletin. While a few good in
dividuals may be secured, the tend
ency is for the progeny to be below
rather than above the average. A man
conducting his breeding in haphaz-
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, cropping in the dark following a
will-o'-the wisp. In a hundred years
he would be just where he started. In
cidentaily this is just what we have
been doing in this country from the
beginning, and the reason why we
have so few pure breeds of live stock
and are, after all this time. sending
our good money across the water for
pure-bred sires which we should pro
duce at home
After animals have been graded VI
to practical purity of blood, the
longer they are bred along this line
the more prepotent they become, and
the more certain that the offspring
Will uniformly possess general excel
lence of form, quality, action and
utility.
The same is. of course, true Of all
live stock. The only certain method
of raising the average standard of ex.
ceilence is by persistent breeding &c
sires of the same breed until the ma
tive blood is obliterated and the pro
Seny uniformly possesses all those de
sirable qualities of the pure breed EN-
ployed.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

Whenever you see youth in his
early teens putting away at a cigar,
cigarette, or pipe or masticating a
mouthful of tobacco, he has either
purloined it from someone or state
law has been violated. There is law
which says plainly that no person
shall sell or give away tobacco in any
form to children under eighteen. But
it is more honored in the breach than
in the observance. A young boy
under this age finds little difficulty in
buying tobacco in almost any town.
A few grand jury indictments might
help some, but the average grand
Juror would rarely take cognizance
of the infraction of this law.
