not his duty to cash It IL .here, in.
stead Of feeding it to hogs or any
other animals. The shortage is show
ing in the number of hogs that are
being marketed, as they are below
previous years, while the number of
consumers are constantly increasing.
This has brought about a close using
up of the products going into con-
sumption and consequently an ad-
vance in the price. There is every
reason to expect fairly high prices for
some time TO come. They cannot rec
tify this shortage in month or even
q year. They cannot increase it as
easily as they can increase the acre
age for corn. The price of pork hogs
Is the foundation for the business of
breeders and there is every encour-
agement that we are entering upon a
period of better business than we
have enjoyed for several years, as we
are on a better business basis. The
shrewdest among the farmers are
quietly picking up pigs wherever they
can get them at bargain prices, with
the expectation of a good corn crop.
Prices will be lower for corn and
higher for pork and they want to pre-
pare for it.-American Swineherd.

/ think the best time to plant IS
during the month of June. do not
want to plant my beans before the
latter part of May, anyway.
My object is to have a quick, uni
form growth and have the pods ripen
together as nearly as possible.
There will always be at best some
immature stalks, and | have found
that 1t pays to throw them out when
hauling and handling the crop.
II In cultivating you make a ridge
under the hills some of the pods will
come In contact with the dirt and
some Of the beans will be discolored.
find the remedy for this is shall
low cultivation. For years | have
used the sprlng-tooth implement in
the field.
The cultivation must be begun as
soon as you can follow the rows and
cultivate as often as is necessary
thereafter, until the blossoms begin
to appear; after that time cultivation
will do more harm than good, as the
root formation is near the surface and
covers the whole space. When weeds
appear, those that / cannot destroy
with the cultivator, l cut with the
hoe. but never go into them when
the dew is on.
AS Il the amount of seed to plant,
the width Of rows and whether IL IS
best to plant or drill seed, there is
quite difference in opinion; how
ever my practice is to plant about
thlrty Inches each way. and set the
planter to drop from four to six seeds
per NIL. This allows cultivation both
ways, and / find that can keep them
clean without much hand work.

Be sure that the bean is hard and that
the pod will burst easily. as n is al
most impossible to dry them after
they are In the barn or bin. but II they
are harvested hard and cared for

Heavy Fire on Sunday Saloons.

While in nowise mitigating the evil
of the weekday saloon, the Sunday
saloon was singled out for whitening
firJ by the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of Illinois. II was declared a
desecration of the Sabbath which
should be eliminated absolutely. The
findings OF the Supreme Court OF ILL
nois were quoted as authority for de-
claring that saloons have no moral
or legal right to exist. and that hu-
mankind has no inherent right to
deal in liquor.
The corrupt politician who thrives
through or under cover of the saloon
came in for larruping in the general
discussion, his existence being traced
largely to the existence of the saloon.
The Catholic who stands behind a
saloon bar and deals out liquid hell"
in the words of one of the principal
speakers. was castigated specifically.
and Catholic women were urged to
stand together to fight the influence
of Chicagos 1000 saloons.-chicago

s:tos For Farmers.

Farmers are beginning to realize
mat the silo is not fordairymen alone,
,ut for every man who grows live
Itock, provided he has sufficient shell
ser. For II must be understood that
Jilage-fed cattle require greater pro-
ection than cattle fed on dry fodder.
There is no time to waste now be-
ore making preparations to fill the
lilo. II should by all means be filled
before frost. Where corn has been
taught by frost water must be added,
and provision must be made for add
.ng water as the silage goes in. One
great advantage OF the silo is that it
enables the farmer TO utilize fodder
that would otherwise be largely
wasted il frost bitten. Farmers who
aave sorghum and at the same time
frosted corn will find less water re-
auired II they will put in as much
sorghum as they do frosted corn, load
about, as the water in the sorghum
will to some extent repair the damage
done by the frost. Wallace Farmer

Cooperative Fruit Growers.

The fruit growers of Ontario have
organized into thirty-seven co-opera-
tive associations. This movement has
proven very beneficial to all who are
co-=ected with 1t, and the success
which 1t has brought has caused a
rapid growth and interest in fruit
raising.
These cooperative associations
have a central organization which
publishes weekly crop bulletin
which is sent out to each affiliated as
soeiation. The plan followed is for
the secretary to obtain information
each week from the different associa-
uons as to the condition OF the crop.
The probable amount of fruit, the
amount sold, the price. ravages of
insects, etc, and to condense IL and
send 1t out to all the associations, In
this way each one knows what the
other is doing.
Last season the Government en-
ployed an expert to give instruction
In the packing OF fruit. His reports
showed that the packers employed bv
the associations In most cases did bet
ter work than the average packer.
The associations want their members
10 put out high grade line OF fruit
and 80 have asked for two additional
Instructors for this season. They
have also asked fo- an instructor in
box packing because now growers
who are catering 10 the best trade
are using boxes more for choice fruit.
The organization has secured legls-
iation which enables them to handle
all chemicals used in spraying except
white arsenic. Uniform methods OF
spraying and cultivation are practiced
and as result the members are sue
ceeding in raising better quality and
a larger Quantity OF fruit than the
average grower.-Indians Farmer.

Above mans wondering head,
And tongues of growing things repeat

Who listens unto her.

Would rend our hearts in twain.

Her eyes their vigil keep,
Her brown arms fold us to her heart,
And sheltered so we sleep.

Stir in our dust-boru souls the dream

Facing n Short Pig Crop.

From the general tenor OF letters
received by us from breeders in the
different parts OF the country. we are
led to believe that the pig crop will
be demonstrated a shors one. The
fact Is We have been getting into this

more. High-prieed grain and pork

COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME-
Tales That Are Told.

Il was one of the kind who wouldn't

says N. Y. woman. You just
couldn't convince me its use was con-
nected with the heart and stomach
trouble l suffered from most of the
time.
My trouble finally got SO bad haG
to live on milk and toast almost en-
tirely for three or four years. Still
loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
it could do such damage.
What I needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
Il had read much about Postum. but
never thought 1t would ut my case un-
til one day decided to quit coffee
and give it a trial and make sure
about 1t. So got package and care
fully followed the directions.
"Soon began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid Of pepsin or other d.
gestants and it was not Icing before i
was really new woman physically.
'Now I am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along. and know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment
1 needed through this delicious Pos
tum.
my wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the trou-

Is big.

He came to know Howard and Yout-
sey personally, through his official re-
