Man u. Hornenower.

Just as long as we have more men
than mules and horses. we must con-
tinue to produce our crops with man
power instead of horsepower; and,
since man power is more expensive
than horsepower, it also follows that
as long as we try to get along with
SO few work stock the production of
our crops will be more expensive than
It should be. The man who culti-
Yates a row at one trip across the
field has great advantage over the
man who must go two or more times
to cultivate that same row.
AS Professor Massey says, Mule
power is far cheaper than a darkey
at the end of hoe" and the South
ern plowman with one scrubby 300
pound mule and little makeshift of
a pillow cannot make crops as cheaply
as can the Western farmer who drives
three 1500-pound horses and uses
disc or gang pillow.
The proposition we are up against
is easily stated, however hard the dis
position of it may be: We use out-of-
date, inefficient implements to do our
farm work, thus adding an unneces-
sary expense to every farm operation,
and the reason why we use these
small and uneconomical tools is be-
cause we have not the work stock to
handle improved machinery.
We might as well face the matter
gquarely. The cost of producing all
our crops lis too great, and the margin
of profit therefore too small, and be-
fore we can ever hope to remedy this
situation we must do two things:
We must I'D increase the average
production per acre and I'D decrease
the cost of working each acre. Good
horses and better tools viii enable
us to do both; but we must have the
horsepower before we can handle the
improved machinery to advantage.
Moreover, to get these horses we
must raise them ourselves. We have
not the money to buy them, and we
can raise horses just as cheaply as
anybody else can. Other folks make
money raising them for us; why can
not we raise them for ourselves? Let
us then begin the breeding up of our
stock, so that we may be able to raise
both the number and the kind of
work stock we need.-Progressive
Farmer.

The scrub Hoe IS aoing.

It is an evident fact that in our
county the scrub hog is rapidly being
eliminated, and pure breeds of vari-
Gus types are taking his place. Some
years ago / found by making feeding
tests that I was able to make from
fifty to eighty pounds more Of pork
from pure bred Berkshires when
slaughtered at ten to twelve months
old, than I could with a good type of
the scrub hog, killed at the same age.
A friend, whose farm lies adjoining
mine, msde feeding test this year,
and got ninety-two pounds more
pork from a Berkshire, than he did
from a good grade scrub pig, both
being the same age, and having pre-
cisely the same care and attention.
Had his entire herd of sixteen hogs
been pure bred, he would have gotten
1472 pounds more pork than he did
get, and still not been out any more
time and feed than he was. At seven
cents a pound, the price of pork now,
he would have gotten $1,000 more
money, thus losing enough in one
year to stock his farm with pure
breds. When ] kept the scrub hogs
/ could only get $3.50 to $3.50 each
for the pigs at weaving age; with
pure breds l now sell pigs at $500 to
$3.50 at that age, and can't Meet the
demand. When I kept the scrub SOW

Since eliminating the scrub hog /

them to make splendid mothers, the

Eleven Eggs Enough.

In setting hens early, when the
nights are cold, it is mistake to give
too large a clutch of eggs. In fact, it
will pay, no matter what season OF the
year the hen is set, to never give her
more than eleven eggs at a time. 1t
will be easier for her to handle them,
and she can give them better warmth.
BY starting two hens with eleven
eggs each, they can be tested on ehe
sixth day, and the fertile eggs given
to the one hen, when the other can
be reset if desired. Later on in the
season, when the weather grows more
mild, it is a good idea to start three
hens at time, and then test out the
infertile eggs, dividing the good ones
among the two hens and resetting the
third. During March the fertility
win not be 80 strong as in April or
May.-Rurai World.

BY Hiram Rice.

The scheduled time for the arrivals
Of Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice
we're so near the same that the stork
took the liberty of running a double
header, thus saving himself an extra
trip.
Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice cut
their teeth at the same time, so their
mothers had little opportunity to hang
over the backyard fence and com
pare notes; but when the mud pie
period arrived they made up for lost
time. The first coolness became no
ticeable during the Sunday school
epoch. Each mother endeavored to
dress her offspring better than the
other, and II was remarked by the
neighbors that Samantha Ann was
regular little lady, while Eliza Al
ice would go home with one stocking
down and the other at half mast, her
pig tail ribbons streaming, and a tear
in the new dimity gown that her
mother had worked on till nearly mid
night to have ready for Sunday.
BY the time the school period had
come there was trail of white frost
along the top OF the backyard fence
between the Smith and Jones lots.
Samantha Ann was developing into
pretty little girl. while Eliza Alice
was going the other way as fast as
she could She had enough red hair
to stun a mattress, a turned-up nose
and 80 freckles to each square inch
Of facial epidermis
A sudden change came over Eliza
Alice when she was about IA The
clerk in the village sto.e reported
to his wife that she had bought a
pair Of corsets, and her next new
dress was ankle length. She began to

figure, put her hair up, and tease her
father for money to buy freckle re.
