The scaffolding around the Henry

new statue to it's place at the top was
torn down Saturday. and Charles j.
MulligaD. the sculptor. returned to his
home in Chicago Sunday. While the
statue is completed, it has not been
officially accepted by the Henry Claw
Monument Commission but they are
expected to hold meeting this week
and pass nm the work. The fact that
Sculptor Mulligan was directed by the
commission TO remove the scaffoldino
on which the figure was raised to IS
lofty height from around the monu-
ment is taken to mean thatEthe COM
mission is satisfied with the statue as
it stands and will favorably act upon
its acceptance when it meets to take
final action. An unknown woman.
thinking herself unobsel we'd, imprinted
a kiss upon the marble lips of the stat
ue before it was raised to its lofty Pc

Home-RaIsed Seed Potatoes.

A good many people think they
must get their seed potatoes from a
different locality every three or four
years, or they will run out. This is a
mistake: a wrong idea. We have sold
seed potatoes to those same men, yet
we never changed seed. Of the same
variety, in our life.
A few years ago a dealer in pota-
toes here brought in a carload Of seed
potatoes from Aroostook. Me-, and
sold them at a very high price. Some
Of our neighbors bought this seed and
planted, but we're much disappointed
at digging time, for their own seed
gave the best crop.
II farmers will take as much pains
in selecting their potatoes as they dc
their corn for seed they will not run
out.
But the only thing the careless
farmer, that has taken no pains tc
improve his potatoes. a do this
spring is to plant the best he has. ant
next fall begin to improve and In
crease his potato crop by q careful
selection Of seed.

q7E55HNOTES

Why not use the space between
trees In the orchard for fall vegetables
for home use?
Bonemeal is excellent for vines and
fruit trees, and three or four ounces
may be applied to the square yard.
We have no sympathy for the man
or boy who has to cut stovewood on
b~listering days. Winter was the time
for that job.
Corn Is a good crop. In spite Of
large crops. It has been very high for
the past two years. It is likely to be
as high. or higher, next year.
For pitching bundles Of grain up
high in the barn or on the stack,
nothing beats a l%ong-poled fork with
short tines. You a have one made
that way for this express purpose.
Plow ground for late summer seed

PASTUKlNG PIGS ON CLOVER
Produces Cheapest Pork, When Used
In Conjunction With Some
Supplemental Feed.

Even at present prices 1t is essen
TALLY to our interests to- produce pork
as cheaply as possible. Simply be.
hogs are selling at record prices
we cannot allow the cost of produc-
tion to creep up alongside the increas-
ed selling price. 1t should ever be
the aim Of the hogman to have the
hogs and the methods which will en-
able him to produce a pound OF pork
with the smallest outlay consistent
with good gains.
1t has always been our opinion that
the cheapest pork can be produced on
clover pasture, when 1t is used in IN.
junction with some supplemental feed,
writes Clyde A. Waugh, In Michigan
Farmer. Clover furnishes cheap pro.
tein, allows the hog to exist in what
approaches his natural condition,
keeps him fairly healthy, manures
your field and saves a great deal Of
labor.
We have found that most of our
profitable filters are those that are
narrowed about the time the sows can
be turned on pasture. 1t is an easy
matter to take a roll of hog fencing,
stick In a post every seven or eight
rods, and to stretch up your fence. II
can be done in half a day. Several
filters of pigs can be run In a few
acres.
After sucking a few weeks the
sows can be reduced to a ration Of a
lew ears OF corr a DAY. Before this
a few troughs can be placed so as tc
admit the pigs and keep out the sows
when the pigs can be given shorts
and other feeds.
Handled In such a manner you have
fair sized shoats when the new corr
crop is ready to be fed. Then, a little
green corn a be used to advantage
However, by the time the corn II
ready, the shoats will stand quite
heavy feeding while on the clover. B!
so doing, the spring pigs can often b.
turned off after running behind steer
on a very short feed which begin
early in the fall. Two years ago w
turned a bunch of shoats so raised, II
a corn field with the older hogs. Whel
the piece was hogged off part Of tn,
spring pigs went to market.

formed that 1t proved much more
than expected, so far as getting rid
Of the old stumps were concerned.
says Homestead. The cost to make
this stump burner was s1.25 and 1t
was made as follows: The steel
jacket from an old abandoned food
cooker was used for the lower part,
and the square part for the top was
bought from a local timer. 1t and the
joint Of pipe costing $1.25. They are
both a little heavier than ordinary
sheet Iron. In operation, the device
Is placed over the stump and a fire
built around INT with anything that
may be handy for fuel. In some cases
chips were used; in others. old rails.
and in still others. pieces were split
from the stumps themselves. Not only
did the burner consume the entire
stump in a short time. but In many
cases the roots were burned out far
down In the ground. A similar burner
might be constructed from many
things that are every year thrown In
the scrap heap, and II the necessary
material could not be found in the
scrap heap, any timer would build
one for a small sum and your stumps
would be burning while you were do
ing something else. The boys would
simply love to operate n of these
burners at least until the novelty wore
of, and possibly the promise of q
small sum of money when the last
stump was burned out would prolons
the novelty for a sufficient time to do
the business.

KEEPING cows OUT OF PONDS
palrymen Make Big Mistake In Allow.
Ing Animals to Drink Dirty,
Stagnant Water.

Many men who think they are good
farmers allow their cows to drink all
summer from any old pond that hap.
pens to contain enough water.
No matter how filthy 1t Is, or how
warm or contaminated by vegetable
growth or droppings from the animals
themselves, 80 long as 1t is water.
A greater error never was made.
You cannot get good milk or butter
from dirty pond water.
The COW is a wonderful milking ma
chine and she often transforms some
pretty poor stuff into milk, but If she
Is given nothing but dirty, stagnant
pond water all her powers Of alchemy
cannot turn 1t into a fluid fit for chill
dren to drink.
There is one way, however, in which
pond water may be used to advantage,
but It is not to allow animals to go
into It or drink from It direct.
A pond on the Oklahoma station
farm holds a million gallons and sup
plies 100 head each Of cattle and hogs
1t drains a large area which is on q
hill to the barns and feed lots. That
Is different.
AS 1t runs from the faucet It Is as
clear as the average well water and II
tastes good.
The cost Of building the pond ant
of piping the water about one-third
Of a mile was about $500. Barring
usual accidents 1t should cost nothing
for repairs and 1t does not cost a cen
to operate It.
There are many localities where thu
ground is more or less hilly where thi'
system of supplying water could yer!
easily be adopted without great cost.
