MONEY IN HOGS.

Any farmer who will equip his
farm for swine raising and keep other
stock In order to change his rotations
and expand his variety of crops can
become well-to-do in five or ten years
by raising good hogs and fattening
them for market, says an exchange.
There Is absolutely no question about
this. Pork can be cheaply and quick
ly produced. 1t can be made on other
crops than high-priced corn. Soy
beans, clover and alfalfa will grow
1t. Corn Is the most efficient fatten-
er. but 1t is not necessary In pork pro-
duction. Corn-belt farmers could
we'll afford to sell their corn and
make pork with other crops. BY
sowing clover, alfalfa, COW peas,
soy beans and vetch in crop rotations
the nitrogen and humus content of
soils could be maintained and the
element phosphorus could be applied
in raw rock phosphate at compare
lively light expense. We mean to
say that soil fertilityscould be MAIN
tained and pork-making made profit
able on corn farms without the use
of corn as a hog feed.-Farmers

agricultural sections of the West.

PLAN FOR IMPROVING CORN.

About ten years ago I became
much interested in the improvement
of seed corn and after much cropping
about finally settled down on the
following plan:
Start with one we'll established
variety, and in selecting the ears for
seed let one-fourth Of them be from
one field and three-fouths from an
other field, in order that there may
be no pollen relation" between
them.
To secure perfect pollenization it
is best to have this proportIon-one
row Of the mother plants to three
rows of those used for the sire, be-
sides having all the outside rows Of
the sire plants. The sire plants are
those not detasseied, and no corn is
saved from them for seed.
While the corn Is growing it must
have every possible advantage Of
good cultivation, and when the time
comes to detassel (Which should be
just before the pollen ripens) make
the cut with sharp knife at the
base of the tassel and then cover
the cut with good grating wax, to
prevent evaporation and consequent
shriveling of the grain. When husk-
ing the corn from these detasseled,
or mother" rows, select only the
best for seed.
This crop Of seed will furnish the
mother rows for the next season, and
the sire corn must be obtained from
a distance, as in the first year. 1t
would be still better If two such plats
of corn could be grown, as has Just
been outlined; then one could be
used for the mother rows the second
year and the other for the sire rows.
This line of mother plants should
be kept up for six years, and the sire
corn selected at distance each year;
pollen is borne from one field to an
other by winds and sire corn must be
had that has not been fertilized by
pollen from your experimental plat.

FERTILIZING TOO MUCH.

Many farmers believe that the con-
stant application of the accumula-
tions Of the barnyard makes their
land "too rich" 1t might be made
too rich for particular crop II high
ly manured, but II the manure Is ap-
piled where 1t should be, in a rota-
tion, there is no danger of land ever
getting too rich. 1t might be made
SO for an oat crop because 1t would
make too rank a growth of straw,
but there Is the grass land that al
ways needs just the kind of growth
that is Objectionable in the case Of
oats. Put the manure where It be-
longs, and too much of 1t can not be
used.
While the manure pile is begin
ming to be appreciated, there are a
great many who do not know its real
value. They do not appreciate the
fact that II 1t is put in the right place
1t means increased yields, and returns
far exceeding the cost of application.
The reason why its real value is not
more generally appreciated Is be-
cause farmers have for SO long time
been accustomed to a very rich and
comparatively virgin soil, but there
never was land so rich that 1t would
not wear out by continuous cropping
without any returns being made to
1t. Every comparatively new country
is slow to learn this. The soil of
such regions has the accumulations
of centuries to draw upon. Eastern
farmers had these accumulations,
too, and so did those of the South,
but in both sections commercial fer
tilizers are now being used at cost
far beyond the conception of the
Western farmer who is still delving

THE EMPIRE COMB.

The old-fashioned empire comb in
plain she'll has once more returned to
fashionable favor. Just at present
1t seem to be the stylish caprice for
women with blonde or light brown
tresses to wear these and their side
combs in dark tortoise shell.
The dark-haired sisterhood prefer
the amber combs, which show to
such an advantage by force of con-
trast.
The plain part of these combs Is
about two inches wide.
They are most attractive when
worn rather high in the hair close to
the knot.
Stiffness in hairdressing seems the
thing to be especially avoided, an
easy. natural style being preferable.

MAKING OVER OLD SUITS.

Narrowly Escaped Injury.

Ex-Sheriff Chas p Troxell made a
narrow escape from being seriously in
juIed on Saturday afternoon when in front
OF c. Z. Cline's store. by the running
away of two horses of J. NJ. Newman &
Co.
A coal cart, drawn by two horses and
in charge Of John Hill. colored, was re-
turning to the yards and in going across
the tracks Of the B. & o. r. r., on B. &
O. avenue, the horses went over the
tracks at point away from the regular
crossing. The jolt threw the driver off,
cutting him about the head and brusing
him considerably. The rumbling of the
cart and being driverless caused the
horses to run and at the corner of Water
street, the cart struck telephone pole.
breaking the tongue off. The frightened
animals then continued up Water street
to East Patrick to Market Street.
Mr. Troxell and J. William Neighbours
were coming up Market street at the time
in buggy and seeing the running horses
drove to the side of the street in front of
Cline's store and stopped, thinking the
animal would pass. Mr.. Neighbours
jumped out but Mr. TroXell remained in
the buggy. The animals then dashed
into the buggy completely demolishing it.
The horses falling against the buggy Mr.
Troxell leaned over the dashboard toward
his horse and jumped after the coliapsing
of his buggy thus escaping being injured.
The horses were cut about the legs In
the collision the buggy was pushed over
on telephone pole, which prevented the
buggy from being turned entirely over.
