Breeding swine.

In breeding swine or live stock OF
any kind the breeder should have A
well defined object in view, point to-
ward which to work, type, an Ideal,
If you will, we'll fixed in his mind.
All hogs Of the same breed are not
alike, and 1t is this fact that makes
improvement of any breed possible.
There are different types of the same
breed for the breeder to select from,
and the intelligence and judgment used
In the selection of the animals re
served for breeders will sooner or later
demonstrate the success or failure Of
the breeder. OF course, methods Of
feeding and care cut an important fig
ure. Many men who are good feeders
of swine are very poor breeders, but
few good breeders are poor feeders.
The tendency Of all our improved
animals Is to revert backward toward
the original type, and in the case Of
swine it should be borne in mind that
while there Is no stock that can be so
rapidly improved by judicious selec
tion, care and feed, there Is none that
will degenerate SO quickly under neg

why Boy. Leave the Farm.

An official connected with an eastern
agricultural college has made sum
mary of the reasons given by 155 sons
! Of farmers for abandoning the pursuit
Of their fathers. Sixty-two Of this
number said that farming does not
pay A strong argument can be made
on the idea that 1t pays better than
other forms Of business. The secretary
OF agriculture has stated that the
products Of the soil in this country in
1905 reached value Of $6,000,000, 900,
which is a good deal of wealth to d.
vide up as reward in one industry.
Seventeen of the young men said the
hours Of labor on the farm are too
long. No doubt they meant at certain
seasons, but this Is a detail open to
adjustment Twenty-six thought So
cial advantages on the farms are not
equal to those in cities, which Is also
matter of opinion. Sixteen said they
had a natural bent for something else,
which is point that deserves consid-
Grafton always. Others objected to
farm monotony, and fifteen said they
would return to farming as soon as
they made pile of money at some
thing else
Many OF these young men are the
victims of illusion, and, unfortunately,
of kind curable only by experience
Probably they are not aware that 80
per cent of those who branch out into
general business fail to accumulate
any considerable wealth, while the pos
tive wreckage in means, health and
comfort is large. A farm Is never mo-
notonous to good farmer 1t Is
rather book Of fresh interest each
succeeding day. A surplus at the end
of year is the rule on the farm; in
the city surplus is the exception, and
the style of family living, on the
whole, is in favor of the country. But
statistics show that plenty of boys re-
main on the farms. The farming popu-
alton of the United States in 1900 was
four times as large as in 1850, and the
value Of their property increased five
fold, or from S4,O0O,0OO,O00 to $20,000,-

The period for which the seeds OF
different plants maintains their vital
lty varies a good deal. The seeds of
some vegetables are worthless after
they are two years old, while the seeds
of other plants improve with age un-
til certain period. For instance: the
seeds Of artichokes are good until they
are three years. old; asparagus. four
years; beans, two years; kidney beans,
one year; beets, ten years; broccoli,
four years: cabbage, four years; car
rot, one year; cauliflower, four years;
celery, ten years; corn, three years;
cucumber, ten years; egg plant. three

His Money.

Luther NJ Burbank, the plant wiz
ard Of California said Of honey, apro-
pos Of a flower that bees love;
This flower grows abundantly near
Santa Barbara. and there was once a
young Californian who often visited
a leading Santa Barbara hotel because
they have such excellent honey thAre
"a honey the bees make from this
flower. Well, the young man got mar
ried in due course, and the wedding
trip itinerary must include Santa Bar
bara, so that the bride might taste this
superb honey. But, the first morning
at the Santa Barbara hotel, there was
no honey on the breakfast table. The
bridegroom frowned. He called the
old familiar waiter over to him:
Where's my honey?' he demanded
Tho waiter hesitated, looked awk-
wardly at the bride, then bent towards
the young mans ear and in a stage
whisper stammered
'Er-Mamie don't work here no
more, sir"

There is nothing quite 80 good as
fine brush to catch and hold soil wash.
Where small trees are used to fill a
gully the top OF the tree should be
placed toward the head OF the gully, so
that all soil and trash coming down
will be caught In the forks OF the
branches. If the tree Is placed In the
opposite direction the descending trash
will slip more easily by and over y.
For the same reason, in filling a gully
with brush and branches, the tops OF
the brush should be placed upstream
Where gullies have been formed dur
ing the summer by soil washing 1t is
we'll to fill them as early as possible IN
the fall while the leaves are still On
the brush with which they are hlled
When they are filled early and before
the leaves of the trees have fallen,
many leaves, as we'll as grass and
weeds that may be blown about the
fields by fall and winter winds Will be
caught in the brush to decay, VIII
help fill and will form good soil. Tne
brush itself will decay In a year or
two, so that when the gully Is filled II
cannot only be plowed over, but VIII
become the best soil. Never fill
gully with SOIL unless some brush or
similar material is put in the bottom
to hold the soil.
In mending steep place in the road
side, briers, brush and all fence row
mowings make good material to lay
down to place the dirt upon. II rocks
are available 1t Is best to first lay
brush in the place to be filed, then
place the rocks upon the brush, and
last the dirt upon the rocks and brush
These will hold and bind the dirt until
1t becomes settled and Arm, and II will
be less subject to washing and being
cut up by travel IN wet weather
Never burn bit of brush on the place.
but put 1t to some good use.

No use for the Horns.

When cattle were raised on the
range a good set of horns was neces-
sary for protection. An all-wise crea-
tor put them there for that purpose.
On the farm a COW or a steer is not
in need of horns. Breeders are breed
ing them of very rapidly. Even the
long-horned Hereford has a polled
strain now, and 1t is predicted by
many that within twenty-five years a
horned animal of the bovine race will
be a curiosity. On the other hand. ad-
vocates of horns say the hornless
strain Of every horned breed is under
sized, and until 1t can come up to those
that have horns In size and weight
people will want the horned cattle Of
both shorthorn and Hereford breeds.
However, there is no reason for leav-
ing the horns on after they are there.
The time to take them OF is when the
animal Is young, and the way to do It
Is with any Of the prepared horn kill
ers. But take them of with the saw
rather than let them go. II Is more
humane to do It than not TO do tt

cannot hang upon the deeds we COM
