Advantages Of Selling.

In: his recent address OF the advan-
tages Of soiling in the dairy business,
Mason Knox said to a farmers club:
Land has increased in value, labor
is higher and more remunerative re-
turns are necessary to the dairy
farmer. To-day we must bring the
luxuriant grasses to our animals the
whole year. In the winter we use
silage and root crops. In the summer
we must soil our animals. We have
an intense interest in our business,
and who keep the lazy cattle, the
blacks and whites. must fetch the
food to them. We keep these animals
to produce milk, not to wander for
food. And the Holstein-Friesian is
not a good forager. When you put
the food before her as you should,
she will consume it and give you a
large net profit. The importance of
soiling then too depends upon the
breed of animals you keep. 1t is not
so important to. the Ayrshire to prac-
tice soiling as it is to the Holstein-
Friesian man. They car be kept on
the moss Of rocky pastures and do
well, so they say. However, I would
not advocate any such treatment Of
any dairy animal. The Ayrshire is a
wonderfully good little forager and
for pasture farming has no equal;
but to dairy farmers Of this genera
ton who have the land that they can
devote to raising rotating crops such
animals have no place in our intensi-
fed business.

Pink Mrs. Taft's Favorite Color.

Pink, plain pink-not cerise or
rose or any Of the new-fangled
names under which that o%ld-fashion-
ed color now goes-is the favorite
color of the present mistress of the
White House. Satin has long been
recognized as the material for a
gown which Mrs. Taft likes best and
pink as the shade which is most
becoming to her. She always has a
satin costume of that color, and Of
ten her carriage gowns are so close
to pink that it seems like taking a
liberty to call them rose or salmon
or peach bloom. One of the dairti-
est garments which Mrs. Taft has
worn recently is a pink broadcloth
trimmed with deep red braid with a
touch of silver. 1t has insets Of vel
low lace on the bodice and big de-
signs OF the came in the half draped
skirt. Pink gowns for daylight are
no longer rare enough to cause COM
ment.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

lying down, and are by no means the
cruel appliances some narrow-minded
people are inclined to consider them.
We even believe that COW chains give
the COWS a little too much freedom.
We have seen cows tied with chains
almost turn completely around in
their stalls. We have known of other
instances where they have choked
themselves to death when fastened in
this manner. The stanchion prohib-
its both of these troubles. There are
some stanchions made so that every
cow may be fastened or loosened at
once by throwing a single lever. This
is a time-saving invention which the
dairy farmer appreciates. Every min
ute must be made to count Cd the
dairy farm, so that labor-saving de-
vices of this sort are also money
savers as we'll as a protection for the
cattle themselves. We know Of an
instance where an attendant had an
eye put out by a COW throwing her
head when he was about to put the
chain about her neck. The COW
stanchion does away with this danger.
All things considered, we believe that
the s%tanchions are far superior to the
chain ties and every practical dairy
man is quick to realize the advan-
tages of this modern convenience foy
the dairy farm.-Weekly Witness.

Lead Pencils.

LEAD pencils" is a misleading ex-
preston. They contain no lead prop
erly so-called, but are composed OF
graphite or plumbago, an a%llotropic
form of carbon. The manufacture of
graphite pencils in England began in
1854, when a valuable graphite mine
was discovered at Barrowdale, Cum
berland. The mine containing the
purest graphite discovered is located
at Ticonderoga, in New York State.
The first manufacturer in the United
States was William Monroe, of Con-
cord, Mass, in 1912. Another pion-
eer in the industry was Joseph Dixon,
in 1S60.-New York American. -

PLANTS AND THE SON..

There is no soil so poor that it can
not be made to grow flowers, yege-
tables, shrubs and trees well, if prop
erly treated. Successful cultivation
demands two things-a good mechan-
ical condition of the soil and rich
ness. The first is equally as impor-
tant, even more important than the
second. Given a soil in good mechan-
ical condition, it is simply necessary
to work in the proper amount of we'll
decayed manure at planting time.
Never dig fresh manure into the
ground just before planting. If you
have none which is well rotted and
can not get any, then spread the
fresh manure thinly Oh top of the
ground between the plants and allow
the rain to wash it in gradually. If
the soil has been cultivated before
and has plenty of decayed vegetable
matter in it, excellent results may be
had with artificial fertilizers bought
from the florist or scotsman.
Bone is good, but it is not a com
plete fertilizer. Wood ashes should
be used with caution, as the large
amount of lime they contain may do
mischief. The best is what is known
as a complete fertilizer. Ask when
you buy it how to use it and never
use more than directions permit. A
very light sprinkling over the soil
after spading or blowing and then
raked in is best. Chemical fertilizers
are very strong and will kill or in
jure plants if used to excess.-Indians

II MOON VINE

One vine that grows quickly is the
moon vine. botanically known as Ipo-
moea Mezicana grandifora.
The flowers are four or five inches
across and open early in the evening
and remain open until the sun shines
upon them. They are most fragrant.
1t is interesting to watch the BIOS
SONS open. If ' at the right time you
turn your back upon them, closed,
when you turn again to face them
they will be open, Literally, they
open as quickly as one could open an
umbrella.
The three things necessary to make
them grow are sunshine, lots of fer
tilizer and lots of water. Plant the
vine, which may be a cutting, in a
slight depression so the water may
soak in, and once or twice in two or
three weeks give a liberal dressing
of fresh cow manure or pulverized
sheep manure, for the water to carry
down. ! 1t is not unusual for a vine
to grow a foot a day.-Indianapolis

Imnrorine the Pig Crop.

Many farmers have started out this
spring with the intention of doing
better by their coming crop. of pigs
than they have in the past.
BY doing better, I mean giving
closer attention to the feed problem,
and the care problem, so that the
pigs, when mature, will have made a
favorable growth at a low cost, and
at the same time have developed
strong frames, especially in the case
of those pigs which are intended to be
kept for breeding purposes.
It will be well for every man who
desires to bring his pigs through the
season in good form and condition to
calculate to suppl some of those
foods which are known to have a
favorable influence on the develop
ment Of the framework of the pig.
It is needless to say that corn alone
will not serve the purpose. While it
is true that corn in conjunction with
good pasture makes a diet for the
growing pigs which can hardly be i1u-
proved on it often happens that the
pasture contains little to attract the
pigs.
In that case they are sure to lie
around the yards and stuff themselves
with grain in preference to seeking
the grass and the exercise which they
SO greatly need in conjunction, which
is so essential to the health and thrift
of the animal.
The best BODYBUILDING foods are
those rich in protein and mineral mat
ter. Skim milk, perhaps, stands at
the head Of the list, and it will pay
to lay in some tankage, shortage, and
possibly some bone meal, as we'll as
pure mineral matter.
1t cannot be expected. however,
that the feeding Of feeds bearing
large amounts of mineral matter.
such as have been mentioned, will
change the conformation of any part
of the skeleton, or, for example, make
a pig stand straight, if he is other
wise. The Improvement will have to
be made through selection, using no
male or female that is faulty.
1t might, too, be urged that if care
full selection we're practiced, it would
be unnecessary to consider the diet,
s'nce strong boned breeding stock
would naturally impress these good
poipfc nm fnpir prOppDv
On the contrary, it might be said
that men have been trying for years
to breed poor hogs out of their herds
without giving attention to Z balanced
food ration problem, and they are
practically where they started.
We generally find that when men
feed little or no grain and do not care
to hasten the growth of their pigs,
the quality of the bone is generally
very satisfactory.
But there is a good deal of time re-
CURED in growing pigs in this man.
ner, and while timesis nothing to the
hog, it is to the owner, and when he
proposes to force growth, he should
plan to force it evenly; that is, that
the pig is not made fat at the ex.
pense. of his growth and health

s1LAeE IN LIEU OF PASTURE.

SlLtAIE IN bLEO 80 AL OAsG.
Referring to feeding corn silage
the year round, Hoard's Dairyman
says that when land is too expensive
to pasture, that is, when silage from
an acre will feed three or four cows
while an acre of pasture will feed only
one or two cows, the silo becomes one
of the most economical as well as the
best methods of preparing s%ucculent
feed for cows the year round. We
believe that a silo is one of the best
methods Of supplementing short pas
ture during the dry time in summer.
Silage is not equal to good June pas
ture, but we do not know of a better
substitute. There is no question but
that more milk cantbe produced per
acre by the use Of the silo than from
an acre of grass.
This is Just the thing a good many
dairy farmers have yet to fully
realize, that corn silage can always
be relied on for producing milk, and
especially is the thing to carry milk
production through dry seasons when
there is no grass pasturage!

will help to drive them away. If you

protect each hill by erecting a mos
quito netting guard over it until the
plants begin to run.

CARE OF TIL COW.

Mr.. Ferree Hoyt, of Washington
County, Indiana, says to prevent a
COW sucking herself, he uses the head
stall of a halter, and puts on the
cows head, and a circingle around
her body back of the forelegs, then
take piece Of wood sufficiently
strong, and of the proper length, to
extend from the headstall back be-
tween the forelegs to the circingle.
This prevents sucking, and is not a
burden to the cow, he says.
