SeIf-Sacrfhce.

President Powers, of the National
Association of Baseball Leagues, said
ironically of the action OF a certain
club in dispute:
"The canceling of that date was a
splendid piece of self-sacrifice. l can
only compare it to the action OF the
man with the wooden leg. This man
went to spend his vacation at Atlantic
City. He was fond Of bathing, but
sensitive about his artificial limb.
Hence he kept out of the inviting wa
ter all through his stay.
Yet one day, when beautiful grl
who had snubbed him got caught by
the undertow and was being carried to
her doom. this generous man, sitting
down hurriedly on the sand, unscrewed
his wooden leg and threw it to her,
thus saving her life"

How to XIII q Pig.

The pig should be thrown on Its back.
and held until stuck. One man should
stand astride the body, with his feet
close against its sides and take hold
Of the front legs. In this way the hog
can be easily controlled. Another per-
son should do the sticking. A narrow,
straight-bladed knife eight inches
long. should be inserted in the hogs
throat, after making an incision
through the skin, just in front of the
breast bone. The point Of the knife
should be directed toward the root of
the tail and held exactly in line with
the backbone When the knife has
been run into the throat six or eight
inches, the depth depending on the size
Of the hog, it should be given quick
turn to one side and withdrawn. The
arteries that are to be cut run close
together, Just inside of the breast bone,
and will both be cut when the knife is
turned, provided 1t is sharp on both
sides Of the point. A pig killed in this
way will die In a very few minutes,
and will bleed out thoroughly.

One of the greatest needs on the
average Southern farm nowadays is
more work in winter. Ever since l
could remember, it has seemed to me
that life on the common Georgia farm
is too much Of a happygo o-lucky style.
To get results in anything, one has to
keep everlastingly at it, 50 to speak.
For years l have heard staid Old farm
ers discussing fall plowing and spring
blowing, but have seen too little Of
it in actual observation, writes J. c.
NJ, In the Southern Cultivator.
There used to be an idea, which is
still prevalent, concerning results from
fall and winter plowing. Some ar
gued it was injurious to plow deep in
the fall, others that 1t was absurd to
plow in the sprlngtime to any great
depth. The truth Of the matter is that
good blowing at any time when the
soil is in good condition is good thing
to do. Usually in the spring the sub
soil is too wet to plOw, and when it
is turned up or broken in this condi-
ton damaging results are likely to oc-
cur,

Self-ClOstnr Doors.

The inner doors Of the barn should

themselves; this is particularly neces-
sary If they open into the granary or
other room, where the animals ought
not to enter. A simple contrivance Is
to fasten a weight to the door, SO that
1t will close readily Of itself. Hard
ware stores sell spring hinges which
answer the desired purpose for heavy
doors, but the weight and pulley Is to
be preferred for lighter doors. A sim
pie arrangement Is to have the black
smith make holes at intervals in a fiat
strip of iron, SO that 1t may be screwed
to the door near the top. Hook chain
In the hole in the end Of this strip run

hardware store for a few cents) fasten-

WeiGht of Lime Per Bushel,

In connection with a very thorough
study Of the quality Of various kinds of
lime used for agricultural purposes In
New Jersey, L. A. Vorhees, of the New
Jersey Station, made careful estimates
of the weight per bushel of the different
materials.
His results show that the weight of
stone lime per bushel (heaped meas
ure), Is quite variable and without any
constant relation to the analysis Of the
samples The average weight per
bushel Of the twelve magnetism lines
was ninety seven pounds, and that Of
the six marble lines was 101 pounds" :"
The weight per bushel Of seven oyster
shell lines examined varied from
thirty-nne to seventyfve pounds, av
eraging fifty-one and half pounds.
The prepared or so-called "agric,l-
tural'' lines examined were still more
variable in weight.

When butter will not gather the
difficulty can be traced usually to ad
vanced lactation or too low a tempera
ture OF cream. The milk from one
/ COW long in lactation Is sufficient to
spoil whole churning. The viscosity
Of such milk renders separation Of but
ter fats slow and imperfect. 1t often
happens during the winter months that
butter, or cream, rather, will break or
separate into small particles, which re-
fuse to adhere or gather, In spite of all
coaxing. The only remedy Is to raise
the temperature Of the whole mass up
to the proper degree. In this work the
dairy thermometer Is almost indis-
pensable, as 1t will save much time
and worry. If the churn Is revolv-
Ing one and the cream just breaks into
minute particles, refusing to gather,
then add warm water to that used in
rinsing the butter until it reaches about
"a degrees. The butter particles will
generally adhere after few revolu-
tions Of the churn. Trouble of this
kind can be avoided. Before attempt
Ing to churn the cream should be test
ed until GA degrees is reached in win
ter, and should be smooth and velvety
and have the required degree of acid
lty. If this degree Of warmth Is not
Impaired to cream by the temperature
Of the room In which IL Is kept, then It
can be raised to the right degree by
setting the cream jar or can in a
arger one containing warm water

Fruit and shade trees may be set any
time during the winter II the soil Is in
proper condition for the work, says a
report by the Oklahoma Station The
condition Of the soil at the time trees
are set has more to do with the success
or failure of the trees than does the
season Of setting II the land Is In
good condition in the fall, and the trees
can be obtained, 1t Is better to set them
then than to walt and run the risk of
not having the soil in good condition
later on. The land should be in a thor
ough state of cultivation and should be
moist enough to work well when the
trees are set. If they are in good con-
dition there is no need Of watering
them.
Trees set In the fall may be a little
difficult to protect from rabbits, but
they are usually In better condition to
start growth in the spring than those
that have been heeled In all winter.
There are not so many poor trees sold
In the fall as In the spring, and for this
reason fall setting usually gives better
results than spring setting.

1t is important that breeding animals
have laxative feeds when they are put
upon dry feeds after being taken from
the pasture. Such articles as oil meal,
faxseed meal. etc, should enter large.
ly into the ration. When animals are
changed from pasture to dry feeding
there is tendency to constipation, and
steps must be taken to have the bow
els move freely. or there IS danger OF
serious trouble. In case the above ar
ticles do not have the desired effect,
EPSON salts or raw linseed oil must
be used.

had no distinct consciousness. She only
knew that other hands than hers cared
for the dead. that in the little parlor a
stiff white figure lay. that neighbOring
women stole in, treadng on tiptoe, and
speaking in hushed voices as they con-

come at once, and cared for her and hers

own room, where the summer breeze blew
softly through the window. bringing the
perfume of summer flowers, the sound of
a tOlling bell, OF grinding wheels, the
notes of a low, sad hymn, sung in falter-
ing tones and of many feet moving from
the door Then friendly faces looked in
upon her, ing how she felt, and whis-
ering omnously to each other as she an
ewered
Very well is grandpa getting better?"
Then Mrs. Noah sat with her for a
time. tanning her with a palm-leaf fan
and brushing the flies away. Then Flora
came up with a man whom they called
Doctor" and who gave her sundry little
pills and powders dissolved in water, af-
ter which they all went out and left her

Reasons for Pruning,

The chief reasons for pruning tree>
are to modify the vigor OF the tree; to
produce larger and better fruit; to keep
the tree within manageable shape and
limits; to change the habit Of the tree
from fruit to wood productions, or vice
versa; ; TO remove surplus or injured
parts; to facilitate harvesting and
spraying; to facilitate tillage, and to
train to some desired form.

Lesson in Reclaiming Waste Lands

On King Island, formerly barren
sand heap, rising above the sea be
tween Tasmania and Australia acci-
dent has given suggestive lesson in
the use Of certain grasses for reclaim
ing arid wastes. A few years ago a
shlpwreck cast on shore some mat
tresses stuffed with yellow lowered
clover few seeds took root, caus-
ing a large area to become covered
with rich verdure. The power of clo-
yer and other leguminous plants to fer
tilize poor soil through their nitrogen.
absorbing bacteria Is well known.

they should not be SO heavy, for a light
