If you notice a sick hog in yotIr lit
ter 1t should be at once separated from
the others and If it does not recover
quickly or if IT should die within day
or two a thorough examination by
competent veterinary should be had
If this examination shows the traces
of cholera or swine plague the hogs
should be divided up into as many small
punches as possible.
Every sick animal must be Immediate
ly taken out and put in the same inclo-
sure some distance away. 1t is not
good plan however to turn the we'll hogs
out to run all over the farm as they
may scatter the germs of the disease
and in this way cause great loss
The hog houses should all be kept
near each other so they may be easily
sprayed and kept clean.
If the sound hogs are taken away
from the sick ones they should be put
into temporary quarters and the area
over which the hogs are to be kept
should be as small as possible.
Stop feeding corn. giving the hogs
mixture of shorts. bran and little oil
meal and dissolve a little copper sui
plate, say about three ounces to a bar
rel in the drinking water. AS soon as
hog dies the body should be burned, not
buried. Cholera and swine plague have
been scattered far and wide by btlrying
dead hogs or other animals. 1t is not
difficult to burn a hog. Build a good
sized pile of wood that Will make u hot
fire and after it is well started place
the body Of the hog on top. The fat in
the body viii add to the flames ana IN
short time 1t will all be consumed.
The important thing is to notify the
state veterinary at the agricultural col
lege station at once, then follow iinplic-
lily the instructions received. He VIII
probably tell you to disinfect the hog
Houses and the wards and fences and the
grounds around them and to keep On do
ing so for several months.
1t is not safe to discontinue the dis
infectants as soon as. the deaths In the
herd cease because the germs OF cholera
particularly often exist for several
months, and unless they are entirely .Ie-
stroyed the trouble will certainly return.

The way we learn to make music on
the piano or the violin is ~ practfcing
day after day. And the way we learn
to make music In life is by practicing
contentment. Keep thinking of she
pleasant things that happen, and forget
the others as far as you can. That is
the way to practice this sort of music.
Excl ange
If we could only understand that 1t
does no good but will do much harm
to worry over what we cannot alter and
must endure, how much lighter the
cares and burdens of this olu world
would be. f
1t is discomfort that makes nine-tenths
of the old worlds unhappiness.
The advice In the paragraph here
quoted Is good and lasting. Try 1t.
Practice being contented. If your
home is poor one you can keep IT clean
and sociable. People will love to visit
you and children will not love their
homes where everyone Is dissatisfied
and complaining of hard luck. etc.
If a thing is helpable, then alter 1t,
by any sort OF dilIgent and steady work.
If 1t can't be helped then put 1t out
Of your mind as far as you can and do
the best you can with what belongs to
you either in money or happiness.
The things of this world seem to triv-
tal on death bed. If YOU have won
love and affection and can exercise pa
thence you are richer than the miser
with his millions of gold.''
Practice contentment as you learn
the piano, by practicing it every day.

Timothy hay should be grown for

before the field is seeded. The raineraf
fertilizers should be thoroughly mixed
with the soil and put down where they

Of feeding roots and not on the surface
where they win attract a growth of

The best soil for onions is a rich, we'll
drained loan. Heavy clays, hillsides and
stony land should be avoided. Onion soil
cannot be too rich.
Excellent crops are grown on deep. rich
muck lands that have been under cul-
tivation for three or four years. Such
lands should contain a fair mixture of
sand. New, raw, muck lands give poor
returns.
The ground for onions should have been
planted to some heavily MANFRED hoed
crop the preceding year and be practical
ly free from weed seed. 1t is a great
mistake to grow onions on weedy or run
down land.
The following which relates TO onion
growing on a large scale also applies to
garden growing.
a rather firm seeded which results
from fall blowing Is desirable and gives
the best results. A second crop OF
clover, heavily fertilized with barn yard
manure and turned under in the fall fol-
lowed by potatoes the next year makes
an excellent preparation for onions the
second year.
A heavy top dressing of well-rotted
barnyard manure or compost should be
applied in the spring. and well worked
into the soil. After this complete COM
mercial fertilizer analyz1ng per cent nj
trogen, per cent available phosphoric
and 100 per cent potash should be ap-
piled
This fertilizer formula is very popu-
lar with lage onion growers, and it should
be put on broadcast and thick.
If the ground is in high state OF
cultivation the commercial fertilizer may
replace in part, the barnyard manure
A top dressing of ashes and hen ma
nure might also replace in part the CON-
mercial fertilizers.
Very successful growers use them al
and in addition nitrate OF soda applied
broadcast in three or four applications
during the growing season.
Wood ashes constitute one OF the best
forms of potash fertilizers and should
be carefully kept under shelter away
from rains.
1t is well to bear in mind that II
costs just as much to seed and cultivate
crop of onions that yields 800 bushels
to the acre as 1t does 20 grow a cror
yielding 500 to 1000 bushels. And further
that the land once properly prepared car
be used for growing onions year after
year unless insects or disease come in.

American harvesting machines are
slowly making their way into India,
which is a great wheat-raising coun-
try, but the bulk of the crop is har-
vested by natives who use the old-fash-
Toned reaping hook.
The wheat is tied up in small bundles
by women who follow the reapers and
is then placed in shocks by men,
Much of the grain is threshed out by
oxen that are driven around in circle
on wooden threshing floor. while the
wooden fail, consisting of a club about
two feet long tied to a handle with a
stout leather thong. is depended upon
in many sections.
English machines are used to a CON-
siderable extent but whenever Ameri-
can harvesters are introduced they
rapidly displace all other makes be-
cause of their simplicity and capacity.

Dry farming, that is farming in the
arid lands Of the west where irriga-
ton is not possible is being doomed very
hard these days.
Large companies have bought up i'm
mense tracts of this land at from %
cents to s1.00 an acre and strong efforts
are being made to induce the farmers
from the middle west to settle upon
them. When this movement was started
a few years ago it was known as the
Campbell System of Dry Farming. Mr..
Campbell having succeeded in INTEREST
ing some of the western railroads in car
rying on extensive experiments. Now It
Is known as scientific farming and Mr..
Campbell at the Dry Farming convention
in Montana last year, admitted that
dry farming is a misnomer and II
should be called scientific farming
The system consists simply in spre-
serving a dust mulch to keep the mois-
ture which comes from the winter rains
in the ground during the months when
no rainfall occurs. This system Is as
old as farming itself and has been prac-
ticed in India and other dry countries
of the far East for ages. Now, many
new tools have been devised to aid in
the cvultivetion of these dry soils in this
country and the very best practice
kncwn to agriculture has been applied.

contests have shown that larger crops Of
corn can be made in the south than any
where else, with the long-season prolific

to know the best time to move currant
bushes and how the work Is done.
Wait until late in the fall, dig up the
bushes with as much dirt around the
roots as possible and set out in the new
location.
The soil should be dug up to depth
of two feet. more or less and well fer
tilted with rotted stable manure. Dis
turb the roots as little as possible and
firm down the ground all around them.
Keep the weeds away next spring and
the bushes will probably get along all

Many growers pick pears when they are

It is better TO pick pears when they are

If pears are picked green they will re-
