Mr.. William A. Younge Of Fairfield
was a pleasant visitor at this office
Tuesday End inspected our linotype
machine which he thought fand il isl
a most marvellous invention. Mr..
Younge is a candidate for county com
missioner for the fifth district. He has
been urged TO make the race by an al
most unanimous sentiment among the
people Of his section and the argument
they use is that that section of the
district has always or very nearly al
ways been without representation m
the board and they say it is time to re-
establish the doctrine somewhat prev
alent in 1875, mo taxation without rep
resentation." Mr.. Younge is a most
pleasant and afable young gentleman

HINTS FOR FARMERS
cottonseed Meal For Hogs.

~
q great many efforts have. been
made, especially by our southern ex-
pertinent stations, to utilize cottonseed
meal as pig ration. 1t is very high
in portein, and If it were not for the
fact that it seems to produce some dis
eased condition Of the hog it would be
valuable feed for balancing the car
honaceous corn ration. The results of
nearly all the experiments seem to in
dicate the presence of some poisonous
agent In cottonseed which is fatal to
the hog. No station has yet deter
mined exactly what this agent is, and
no station has solved the problem of
safely feeding 1t In any quantity, at
least to swine. Where hogs follow cat
tie which are receiving cottonseed meal
as a portion Of their ration there is
practically no danger, provided the
feed boxes are SO arranged that the
steers. do not root much, IL any, of the
cottonseed meal out.-Farmers Advo-
cate.

The Manure spreader.

Speaking of the advantage OF manur-
ing land and the convenience Of using
the manure spreader, writer in the
Homestead makes a report Of wheat
yield on land top dressed last fall and
land not manured. In connection with
the statement the writer says that the
land top dressed was If anything poor
er than that not manured. The writer
says: when thrashing the wheat was
gathered from the top dressed portion
first, and 270 bushels were. thfashed
fronn-it, making the yield thirty bush
els to the acre. From the remaining
sixteen acres but 200 bushels were
thrashed, making that yield twelve and
q half bushels to the acre. The top
dressing with spreader made a off
ference Of seventeen and half BUSH
els to the acre. Who will say the ma
nure .spreader does not pay?"

Winter Easd For Poultry.

In the fall of the year on every farm
succulent food which would be relish
ed by the poultry and converted into
money in the shape of high priced
eggs is thrown away. Save the small
potatoes which you have in years past
been feeding to the hogs. Maybe you
have surplus OF cabbage. If SO, save
for chicken feed. The turnip crop may
give you a surplus, and these will be
relished by the hens this winter. The
same is true Of surplus beets. If the
cellar cannot accommodate this chick
en- feed, dig a hole in the ground, place
the potatoes. cabbage, turnips and
beets therein. and cover with a layer
of straw and then with dirt to prevent
freezing. 1t will pay to save this feed
for the poultry.

Orchard Pests.

Twig blight often appears to a de-
structive extent upon young, thrifty
apple and pear orchards. This is bac-
terial disease, and no amount Of spray

all affected parts and avoid highly nj
trogenous fertilizers.
Canker Is another serious pest. Care
fully cut out and burn all canker spots
and paint the wounds with pure white
lead and nnseed OH. The same may
be used for black knot Of plum and
cherry.-Maryland Station Bulletin.
