Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will
discourage almost any farmer who has
such combination. With animals
that will multiply as rapidly as pigs
it seems almost a shame to see a man
breeding old scrub sows to some boar
that has no pride OF ancestry or hope
OF posterity Yet this Is exactly the
course that about half of the farmers
are following. and wondering why
feeding hogs is not paying substantial
profits. Never get the idea in your
heads that breeding from young and
immature breeding stock encourages
early maturity in the progeny Good,
strong, well-developed pigs from ma
ture sires and dams will make better
growth and more economical gains
than the understood runts that result
from breeding immature sows to some
6-months-old boar pig.

Feeding SfIaxe.

Quite a number of practical feeders
have adopted the silage method. One
man In particular having large stock
farm in Ohio puts up annually be-
tween $500 and 5000 tons Of corn and
cowpea silage, which he feeds to his
beef cattle. A 1,000-pound steer will
usually consume about so pounds Of
silage per day. When fed ration OF
this kind, some nitrogenous food
should be added, such as oil meal, cot
tonseed meal or other concentrated
products found on the market. The
feeder from Ohio referred to feeds on
an average about pounds Of cotton.
seed meal per day to his steers and
about pounds of clover hay, in addi-
tion to the so pounds OF silage. For
beef cattle 1t Is usually considered ad-
visable to allow the crop to mature
before cutting, and also to plant 1t the
same as one plants for grain produc-
ton. The cattle feeder Is not partic-
ularly anxious to obtain large
amount of forage, but he Is more anx-
ious to get as much corn as possible.
A crop Of corn that will produce about
so bushels per acre will make from
eight to nine tons of silage planted in
the usual way and harvested when
mature. 1t Is stated by feeders who
are using silage, and similar reports
have come from stations, that cattle
fed on this produce scour less than
when fed on corn and dry roughage.

Future Of Aviation.

Very different are the views held
by prominent aviators as to what pc
sition the science of mechanical flight
will have attained five years hence.
In the opinion of Captain Ferber.
who is one of the keenest pioneers
of aviation in France, the aeroplane
will at that time be able to carry
four or five people with ease, and
there will be regular service of ma
chimes between Dover and Calais, as
we'll as between other ports where
the distance is not of great length
Closed accommodation will be pro-
vided on board these machines, which
are to be Of such size that their
use will be debarred where the
space is limited. Other opinions are
much less hopeful as regards the COM
mercial side of the aeroplane's pos
sibilities, and, according to Mr.. Maui
rice Farman, the flying machine will
for long time to ccme be reserved
for the use Of the intrepid sports

while crossing rocky field. One

took refuge in hole that proved to
have an exit in the rear.
THE man who had chosen the hole
was no sooner in at one end than he
was out at the other. With below
the bull made for him. He turned
and again shot like lightning through
the hole. The bull once more bore
down upon him, and once more he was
in and out of his hole.
This strange pursuit kept up some
ten minutes or more. At first it mys-
titled the farmland up In the tree.
Then it angered him
