HINTS
FOR FARMERS
FEEDING Laying Hens.

There can be no cast iron rules laid
down for feeding laying hens. Indi-
vidual hens will often overfatten.
while others in the same pen, with
the same food, will remain in proper
condition. The writer uses the follow
ing method, which he has followed for
thirty years and which has always
proved effective. In the morning a
mash Is given composed Of bran, two
parts; middlings, ground oats, corn
meal and meat scraps, each one part,
and linseed meal, 5 per cent. Slightly
moisten with water. Give all the green
food they will eat during the day, and
at night feed a mixture Of two parts
whole wheat, two parts oats and one
part whole corn. The parts in the
mash food are by weight, while the
parts in the grain food are by meas
urement. OF the mash food a large
iron spoonful is allowed for every two
fowls in the pen, and Of the evening
grain food a good handful is given to
each fowl. The grain food is thrown
among hay, straw or leaves to make
them scratch and exercise. Grit, char
coal and cracked oyster shells are con.
stantly before them.

CARE OF PIGS AT
WEAVING Time.
Feed Often When First Taken
From the Sow.

Farmers often get in a hurry and
wean pigs when six weeks old. But
unless there is an abundant supply of
milk and especially good care is given
the pigs are likely to become stunted,
sometimes SO severely that they never
GOV
When the time comes to wean the
pigs cut down the sow's ration to wa
ter and alfalfa hay. She will dry up
without injuring her udder. When she
is giving a large supply Of milk and all
the pigs are taken away at once her
udder Is often ruined and she becomes
unable to suckle another litter.
When first weaned feed the pigs
from three to five times a day. While
with their mother they took their
meals at least every two hours, and
too sudden a change is detrimental.
After they get to growing vigorously
cut down to two meals a day.
When first weaned the pigs should
have either skimmilk or tankage until
they get over the change from their
mothers milk. Every hog raiser should
plan If possible to have a good supply
Of skimmilk for this time. If he can.
not do this tankage will take Its place,
making it about one-f1fth the total
weight of grain fed.
Two litters a year mean two divi
dend periods for the hog raiser each
year instead Of one. Properly fed ant
handled, a mature SOW will keep ii
better breeding condition and will giv'
her owner more years Of profitable

STANDARD OIL.

The recent decision OF the supreme
court in the Standard Oil case is q
subject of discussion by the Boston
News Bureau, in which the enormous
resources of that corporation are re.
viewed. The assets of the company
at the present time are valued at about
$500, OOO, 900, and it is distributing S40..
600, 900 among its share holders every
year.
Standard Oil has encountered a
great deal of new competition over
the last few years in this country as
we'll as abroad. It's most formid able
rival is the Texas company, which
has been establishing stations
throughout the United States, con.
structing refineries, building steam.
ships, tanks, etc. Several months
ago the Standard declared war against
the large oil producers of Europe.
The conflict is still on with the result
that prices have declined materially.
The Standard Oil company has out
standing capital stock OF $9,331 800.
1t is supposed to have q surplus Of
about $500, 600, 900.
The cash assets of the company,
according to the last annual report,
were about 1888 q share. These asset:
do not include the value of the com
pany's oil above ground, which il
figured at $500, 900, 900, or about 800
q share: so that in actual liquidation
the value of the Standard Oil stock
would be about $6SS q share.
The company has 5000 miles 0
trunk pipe line, $4,000 miles of feed
ers and controls 70 per cent of tn

If q dry farmer can raise q bountiful

1t next to impossible and always very
costly to haul his product to the rail.
road. he will not prosper. The whole
prosperity of the state depends upon
our country roads, which at the pres.
ent time lauguish under the provi.
sions of an archaic statute and remain
rocky, full of ruts and chuck holes,
lined with steep grades and cursed
with bogs and qaugmires.
Under vi present system Of road
building and repair we expend about
four dollars for every dollars worth
Of work we receive. 1t Is q safe esti.
mate to say that half of the road fund
is wasted every year. That this is
true Is not particularly the fault OF
any official, but 1t is directly traceable
to silly provisions of the law under
which we operate.
All road taxes should be pay able
in cash. This is the first and most
glaring deficiency in our present road
law.
All road building and extensive
repairs should be done by contract,
in which the exact work to be done
is laid out in profile by engineers,
and the county protected against poor
work by q contractors bond.
Only q small portion of the road
fund should be available for expeudi-
ture by the board Of county commits.
sioners for temporary repairs. The
remainder should be laid only for
work done under contract, after q
proper ad vertisement for bids.
In this way, we should not dissipate
our road fund. We should not pay
three times what work IL worth, and
We should not be eternally in debt.
Finally, we should have roads that
are fit to travel. The surprising thing
about the whole situation Is that Mon
tana roads are as good as they are.
1t is hardly less than miraculous
that We have roads at all under the
present idiotic road law.
The farmers of Montana would do
the state q great service II they should
initiate a road law containing the
three substantial provisions mentioned
above-the collection of road taxes
in cash, the construction of all new
roads, and repairs OF any magnitude
under contract, and the provisions
against the expenditure Of more than
q certain proportion of the entire tax
collected except after co ntract duly
entered into.

1t will do more to keep the weak.

rity and financial honesty than q
thousand hne speeches on the lowell
ness of virtue and the wisdom OF

The thing that such fellows as Morse
and Walsh fear is not the punishment
of fines. 1t is being put into prison,
being branded as jail birds and suf-
fering the social ostracism of the con.
vict.
The ~offenses of which these men
were guilty we're peculiarly heinous.
They we're trustees of other mems
property and guardians of vast inter
ests. They took advantage OF the
confidence reposed in them and made
It an opportunity for the exploitation
of their banks to their private advan'
tsge. They defed and disobeyed the
law that the nation has enacted for
the safety of the federal banks. They
brought misery to multitudes and ruin
to great corporations.
Reverence for the law and the vel"
fare of the public would have been
end angered by pardoning these crimi.
nails. People would have said tina,
there was one law, With unavoid able
punishment for the poor man who stole
q loaf of bread and another law, with
out sure punishment, for the rich man
who stole millions of dollars. But
now the mouths OF carpers At the
courts and the law are stopped.
The president has done wisely and
we'll, for he has judged with reference
to the right Of society to have the law
vindicated and crime punished.

Glover For Eggs.

Glover is as much an egg producer
as 1t Is a producer Of milk. 1t Is rich
in nitrogen and mineral matter, TIav-
ing n high nutritive ratio, 1t is equal
to barley and almost as high as wheat.
Its action Is to extend the food ration.
reduce the too concentrated grain food

"rowen" clover, is the best. Clover
should be cut In full blossom. Let it

A Quick GROWING Tree.

The black locust is hardy and a
rapid grower and is one of the most
valuable Of all the quick growing tim
Der trees. 1t should be planted only in
the center Of a grove, however, and
not along the edge, because Of its
root %sprouting tendencies. They will
do no harm in the body of the grove,
but might be annoying on its edge.
Borers are less apt to injure the black
locust in a shaded place. 1t is one of
the best growing trees we have and
will make from four to six feet a
year, furnishing material for the finest
kind of posts, stakes and poles. 1t has
the advantage Of being a very durable

Mature Sow Best For Brood Animal

The mature SOW makes by far the
best brood SOW. 1t would be better If
the gifts were not bred until a year
old. If the practice of breeding too
young is continued the vigor and vi

duced after a few generations.
If some of the early narrowed spring
gifts are selected out for brood sows,
says Swine Breeder, they should be

as brood sows and not as market hogs.
