Monasamy Among Animals.

monagamy Among Animals.
For ages the beasts have been CROP
Ing for an ideal form of marriage"
] says Ernest Thompson Seton In the
January Century in his story of Dom
ino Reynard of Goldur Town" the his
tory of noble silver fox with defin-
lite purpose. "All the schemes of hu-
| man reverts they have tried, and all
found wanting but one. The only plan
that has satisfied the highest require
ments Is pure monagamy. This Is the
wed-law OF all the highest kinds. The
love-time fever passes. but another
bond remains. The love-fire OF the
foxes had paled a little with the wan
Ing OF the hunger-moon. but more
abiding sense had supervened, even as
the sunset red on the hills may seem
more generous fire than the soft red
OF the granite; but one is there In splen-
did moment, the other forever and
evermore. Love and friendship men
call them: and though the flickering
red light blazed SO bright at times, 1t
was the pale rock red that gave its
color to their lives. Domino and Snow
yruff were not only mates, but were
friends for life: for such Is the way of
the noblest beasts. such Is the way OF
foxes" u

Concrete Feeding Floor.

out or scalded twice a week at least.
Foul troughs are good breeding places
for parasites that may be taken into
the stomach of the hog and. cause sick
ness or death. Damp floors may be
overcome IL the house is we'll aired
and windows enough are in it to let
the sunshine in on the floors.
At feeding time use care that no
swill is stopped into the bedding or
on the floors. 1t is also injurious to
the health of the hogs to allow dust to
accumulate on the partitions and in
feeding pens.
If any are in the habit of feeding
hogs corn scattered in the mud or
dust of dry yard, they should build
feeding floor and use it. Go into any
herd that is fed in the dust from
thrown-down corn and much wheeling
and coughing will be heard. This is
injurious to all hogs, and especially
those kept for breeding purposes.
My feeding floor is shown in the
sketch, and is built solidly of good
material. 1t is set inches above the
level, and around the edge a 2x4
piece is nailed, which prevents lots
of shelled or ear corn being pushed
off into the dirt and dust. 1t is swept
off each time before feeding.
A flor of this kind can be used for
feeding alfalfa or clover hay In feed
ing my hogs alfalfa cut it into 4-inch
lengths and soak it few minutes in
a tank of hot water. This does not
boil the alfalfa, but just heats II
enough to make coarse stems tender
aad tender ones more toothsome.
1t is lifted from the tank on forh
and allowed to drain well, when it is
thrown upon the feeding floor Pigs
never leave much Of it. For brood
sows it makes an ideal feed, keeping
them in good flesh, but not fat enough
to hurt their breeding proclivities OIL
injure their ease of farrowing.

LIVE STOCK IN THE FARM.

1t costs no more to keep flock of
well-bred sheep than a lot of poor
ones that return no profit.
The natural life OF sheep is about
ten years. UP to this time they will
thrive and breed well.
The age of sheep can be told by
their teeth. When they are a year
and half old they shed their two
center teeth-and two wide ones grow
out in their place.
The next year the two next are
shed, and the four central teeth are
fully grown when the sheep are three
years old.
A place should be provided in every
stall for water bucket, with an ar.
rangement to fasten 1t in place,
Watering should always be done In
buckets, which should be used for
nothing else.
A bucket of water should be left
in each stall at ten O'Clock at night
when the last round OF the stables is
made.

Query-I am the widow of soldier

AnsWer-You would have title to
widows pension under the act Of April

80 days in the civil war and received
an honorable discharge therefrom and
you were married to him prior to June
27, 1890. Application should be filed
at once, as pension If allowed begins
from the date of filing. The fact of
the rejection of your former claims
will not prevent you from receiving

STARTING FLOWERS.

The Kansas station gives this advice
to the amateur grower of flowers: An
nual plants are generally divided into
three classes, hardy, half-hardy, and
tender, but they will all do their share
in giving to the garden bright colored
flowers filling the air with their sweet
fragrance Give these plants well pre-
pared soil and avoid planting until all
danger from frost is past. Select an
open sunny spot, as many ANIMALS dis
like shade. Some of the following an
nuals will do we'll in almost any gar
den: Calendulas, sweet peas, scarlet
sage, phlox drummondi, vinca rosea and
vinca alba, coleus, pyrethrum, ager-
alum, dusty miller, sweet alyssum, cas-
tor oil bean, Gamma, dahlia, verbenas,
petunias snap-dragons, and large list
of other ANIMALS too
The seeds for most of these plants,
with the exception of scarlet sage, Ver-
bena, dahlia, and sweet pea, should be
soWn inside about March Is, and may
be sown outside from the LIST to the
18th of May. Scarlet sage and verbena
seed should be sown inside about Feb
ruary Is in order to get good plants
for the flower bed.
For starting seeds indoors it is we'll
to use a shallow box about IA inches
long and 10 inches wide and 2A deep.
Bore four or five holes in the bottom
for drainage. Put about one inch of
rough stuff in the box and fill in with
an inch of fine soil. Sprinkle a little
soil over this and firm the soil. Sow
the seed broadcast and cover with
finely sifted soil. Covering seeds is an
important point, for If the seed is COW
cred too deeply 1t will fail to come up,
and If not covered deeply enough ger
mination will not take place. A good

and other local points indicate a
healthy growth of interest in the In

an improvement is visible in the num-

is also an active demand for breeding
stock with which to grade up existing
poultry lines or to establish new ven
lures for supplying the strong demand

VEGETABLES ON AN ACRE.

any one of the following:
One acre of onions, 445 to 600 bushels.
One acre of tomatoes, 800 to 400

One acre of sweet potatoes, 500 to

One acre of beets, 800 to 400 bushels.
One acre of carrots 800 to 400 BUSH

One acre of cabbage, 5000 heads.
One acre of potatoes, 100 to 800
bushels.
Here are actual results:
Asparagus, 800 punches, 20 cents a
bunch, 5000.
Caulifower, 100 to 800 pounds, $3.50.
Onions, 600 bushels, rs cents, $3.50.
Cabbage seed, 1000 pounds, 40 cents

Potatoes, ITS bushels, low estimate,

Cabbage, 1000 heads, $500.
To be a successful trucker you must
keep in mind these things:
Produce sufficient to supply the fam
lily to begin.
Continuous succession of crops.
Ease and cheapness of cultivation
Maintain and increase the lands pro-
