Their a question of material advantage
nor of abstract principle. One after
noon, during the busiest season of the
year on a coffee-ranch, all the coffee
pickers, with the exception of one fam.
lily, suddenly struck. When asked what
the trouble was, the spokesman, in a
ford and pompous address, declared
that they were all brothers. and must
pick together, or not at ALL
1t came out during the interview
that the father of the family who had
not struck had received permission for
himself, his wife and six small chill
dren to pick in a block of coffee by
themselves, and to this the others had
been induced to object.
Why they objected they could not
say, because they did not know. II
was explained TO them that the man
had wished his family to work apart
for the sole and sensible reason that
first, he and his wife could take bet
ter care of the children when they
were not scattered among the crowd;
and secondly, that as the trees of the
particular block he had asked to bt
allowed to pick in were younger and
smaller than the others, the children
had less difficulty in reaching the
branches.
He had not only derived no financial
adva ntage from the change. he wa:

the one that will mature and be ready
for market first.
Thirty or forty years ago hogs
were seldom sent to market until
they were two or three years old, but
now the hog that is not ready by the
time he is eight or ten months old is
too slow maturing to fool with, pro-
viding he has received the proper
care
From the time they first see the
light of day until sent to market all
hogs, except the breeding stock,
should be given all of the good, SUBJ
stantial food they can eat. They
should be made to make a gain in
weight every day of their lives.
The quick-groying, smooth hog that
will command attention when he ar
rives at the market where there are
thousands of his kinsmen Is the kind
of hog to raise, that will bring the
top of the market. The best hogs al.
ways sell first and bring the best
prices, and they are no more trouble
or cost than the long-legged, sharp.
backed hog that will not get fat and
that will make a gain in weight of a
pound, while the smooth, well-bred
blocky hog eats no more, yet makes
gain of pounds or perhaps more
1t is a waste of labor and feed to
keep lot of coarse, plain quality

the farmer must follow business prin.
ciples and turn his labor into the
greatest amount of money possible
and there is no surer way than by
raising corn and feeding it to good

Sick Amin ais,

A sick animal should be placed in a
well-disinfected and dry box stall with
plenty of bedding and sunlight (avoid
drafts). In cold weather place blan-
ket on the animal, feed sparingly with
digestible food, such as bran mashes
made of linseed tea; keep manger
sweet and clean. Water should be
pure and clean and warmed when nee
essary. 1t is always necessary for new
mich cows to be given warm water.

Catch CrnnA


ally understood 1t applies to any crop
grown that is not regularly planned
for certain field. in other words, it is
put in where another crop has failed.
or after another crop has been removed
from the land. AS an illustration,
millet sown where a corn or other
grain crop has failed, or rape sown
with grain crop, or after a grain
crop, or in corn at the last cultivation
to finnish fall feed, is a catch crop"
There should be more interest taken
in this catch crop question than what
there is. The use of such crops should
be extended, as they not only furnish
very cheap feed, but they grow In
place of weeds. and improve the con-
dition of the soil by adding vegetable
matter, especially if pastured off or
plowed under.
OF all these crops, rape is probably
the best, as the seed is very cheap. 1t
grows quickly and furnishes excellent
pasturage for all animals, with the
possible exception of mich cows. Rape
makes a good growth for pasture in
about six weeks after sowing, If sown
alone. 1t may be sown successfully
with grain crops when they are sown,
or shortly afterward. When sown in
this way 1t is used for fall pasture.
An instance is cited where a farm
er sowed rape and clover in sixty
acres of grain in the spring of 1907,
and that fall pastured his herd of
twenty COWS two months on this field,
getting from the creamery 1925 in
cream checks for the two months,
which brought him over So per acre
from his field after getting the regu-
lar grain crop The whole of the crop
was left on the field While growing
after harvest 1t used the available
plant food in the soil, which other
wise would have been largely lost by
teaching. and thus left this plant food
in the soil in the form of vegetable
matter that will be easily broken
down next year, and while being brok-
en- down or rotting it will help to lib
crate the mineral plant food locked in
the soil. Such a crop adds consider
able to the income from the field the
year 1t is grown, besides leaving the
soil in better condition for crops in
succeeding years. Rape is not consid-
cred q desirable food for milch cows,
but for other classes of stock it Is ex.
cellent
Where land Is very rich there Is
some danger that the rape may grow
too large in the grain and cause trou-
BILE in harvesting and curing the crop.
In such cases it is well to SOW the
rape after the grain is up, thus giving
the grain a considerable start The
rape may be scattered on the field any
convenient way, as by hand OF with a
hand broadcast seeder. When it is
sown at the same time as the grain
crop. it, of course, is mixed with the
grain, and in such cases there is no
cost of sowing.
There is certain amount of moist
ure and plant food constantly being
taken from any soil during the open
season, whether there is a crop grow
ing on it or not. Crops growing on
the fields during the fall are not de-
pleting the sol; of fertility, but are
simply making use of what would 9TH

THE HORIZON AND THE WOOD.

There. through the closing gate Of Day,
The sunset seems to drift away
In pallid gold and dream-like red,
With thin gray cloud-lines overhead.
At the dim margin of the blue
Venus is trembling into view,
Pulsing with timid, silvery light
The first gem on the breast of Night.
Here, in the wood, all birds are still,
Save the sad-hearted whippoorwill,
Invoking through insistent song
Reluctant vengeance for some wrong.
Above the firefly's ftful spark
An owl sits brooding in the dark
Silent, beneath his feathered hood
A somber wizard of the wood.

and she by her arbitrary conduct had
separated them, She genuinely cared
for Frank. and it was horrid to see
him go about with that look of blank
misery on his face, as if life were not
worth living
Another cause contributed to Irene's
sense of dissatisfaction. For the first
time in her life she was interested in
person of the opposite sex who was
not a relation. Only a mild form of
interest, of course, for Cecil Lonsdale
was one of those quiet. studious, in
tellectual, specialized young men to
whom no suspicion of sentiment can
possibly attach. He had asked her for
three dances last night, and had how
cred in her vicinity all the evening.

/ in very fast?"
She sprang up to confront the last
object of her thoughts.
Il really wasn't thinking about 1t,
Mr.. Lonsdale."

Il was walking along the cliff"
And you scrambled down from that
height?"
I'm some fashion. But an ascent is
out of the question; the soil is too
light and gives under ones feet. Come,
We must hurry"
They sped along. 1t was a question
of rounding one point that jutted out
into the sea; beyond the coast line re-
coded, and they would be safe. But
the tide at that point was already up
10 the cliff and was deepening every
moment Cecil Lonsdale measured the
depth with his eye.

my knees. Let me carry you"
"Oh, please let me try myself"
