BOY AND MULE.

Billie Moore, who is a mere scrap
of boy and an orphan at that, has
shown what a boy can do when he
has pluck and grit. Last spring he
traded game rooster for an old
plug of mule that nobody thought
would live two weeks, paying fifty
cents to boot. Billie's friends were
sure that he had gotten the worst of
the trade. But Billie himself SEEM
ed to know better. He began feed
ing up that old plug and rented
small farm. AS result he will make
two bales of cotton, one hundred
bushels of corn and one thousand two
hundred and fifty bundles of fodder.
He did all the blowing with the mule
in question, and now holds the animal
at $25, and refuses to take less

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

One of the greatest advantages of
alfalfa as a hog pasture is the fact
that it affords fresh growth through
out the grazing season. The pasture
should be moved at least three times
each season, thus taking off all the
matured stems and giving opportuni
ty for the sending up of new, tender
growth. just the quality the hog de-
lights to feed on. It is this new, fresh
growth that makes alfalfa pasture so
generally preferred by the hog and so
highly satisfactory as flesh former
The hog wants fresh pasture. He
does not Craze like the horse, COW or
sheep, but is best suited when he can
bite off clover bloom or sprig of
alfalfa, and does not from choice like
to feed on a thick, heavy-coated blue
grass sod. He objects to mouldy. wet
or soured grasses, such as the blue
grass and white clover pastures so
frequently afford when not closely
grazed.-From Coburn's Swine in
America"

STUDY YOUR SHEEP.

The feed consumed by one COW,
according to Texas Farm and Ranch,
will usually support five sheep and,
with good care, the returns from the
sheep will often be greater than from
the COW. Those who raise sheep are
able to advise concerning the best
breeds for different localities, and can
give valuable pointers on the care of
the animals. Experience, however,
is the best teacher in this respect and
before investing any large amount in
sheep, it would be wise to obtain a

HUMUS.

AS ''the world depends upon sue
cessful farming" so successful farm
ing depends upon humus It is the
one element in soils that plays out
first by successive cropping and sell
ing out when it lacks only humus.
Humus is decayed vegetable mat
ter. It is the dust to dust" process
of plant life. 1t is that stage of de-
cay at which the elements of which
the plant is made are broken up into
the original elements. Humus plays
an important part in agriculture be-
cause it is the natural source of fer
tility and the natural reservoir of
the soil. 1t holds the water from go
ing too deep by percolation or by
escaping through evaporation. Take
a corn stalk that has lain until it is
so rotten you can easily pick it to
pieces. 1t is capable of holding water
like a sponge. You can not pack it
together in a ball like you can wet
dirt. This is how it plays so i'm
portant a role in the formation of
soils It prevents clay from becom-
ing too sticky and compact. A plant
must have air around the roots. A
heavy soil in wet season smothers
