always, there is no reason why there
should be so many cases of hog dis
ease the next year after the raising
of light corn crop" Another sue
cessful hog raiser said: Il have farmed
here many years and never lost my
hogs but once; that was when / fenced
in q piece of corn and turned in a
drove of hogs that had not had any
new corn up to that time. letting them
eat all they wanted from the begin
ming Almost every one of them died.
Since that time. no matter how strong
the temptation to do otherwise. / ac-
custom my pigs to new corn with just
as much caution as I do my horses
and cholera in hogs is not one of my
troubles"
An Illinois man who owns farm
here has demonstrated the fact that it
pays to tile out the wet land. Last fall
he had large tract which it has been
impossible to cultivate for the last sew
en- years, tiled at a cost of about IS
per acre. +. C. Paine wishing for some
corn land in addition to that on his
own farm rented the land giving the
owner two-fifths of the crop. The rent
just paid for the thing, IS an acre rent
from land on which nothing would
have been grown had it remained UNI
drained Mr.. Paine. unable to supply
himself with seed corn grown in this
locality, decided to import northern
grown seed instead of corn raised far
Their south, and the result convinces
him that If seed corn must be brought
from outside territory it ought to come
from higher ATTITUDES. as it is harder
and earlier in maturing the greater
certainty both of stand and of sound
corn far outweighing the possibility of
a heavy yield in case the larger vari-
cites from states to the south of us are
planted.
One philosophical farmer near here
whose we'll filled corn crib is somewhat
larger this year than was the stack of
damaged fodder that represented his
entire corn crop last year said the 9TH
err day: 1T has been pretty tough on
some of us these wet years but | am
not sure that the excessive moisture
and consequent partial crop failures
have not been the best thing that
could happen. They have compelled us
to drain our farms and to do 1t thor

Summer and Fall Seeding
and TOp-DreSSing

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt to get a much better catch"
than they do when they follow the usual
practice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dressing
grass land. Some of the most progress
sive farmers put on top-dressing inmedi-
ately after haying, with perhaps a small
application of nitrate of soda the follow
ing spring.
If you will send your name and p. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
Vt, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of ingrepi-
ents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and

With the cry of the battle bugles and the

The Drawn men. the dawn men, the men

With their hopes in the faroff valleys

Winged with the victory pinions where

The steel men, the real men, the men who

Their feet on the steps of beam, their

GLAD be the hearts of the young men,
