ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS.

There are a number of hardy shrubs
that may be used for ornamental
hedges, for planting in groups or for
planting singly. Only a few will be
named.
TARTARIAN HoNEYsUckLE. A
plant of this kind is a standard shrub,
attaining a height of six to eight feet,
having a rich foliage and bearing in
June many pretty blossoms Of white,
pink or red which are later replaced
by bright red berries. This plant
makes a fine ornamental hedge and is
valuable to plant around the porch.
SIBERIAN PEA-TREE (cARAGA-
NAY. This has been mentioned under
hedge plants. The foliage is locus
like and in spring the plant is rendered
attractive by an abundance Of yellow
flowers. The foliage becomes less
beautiful in autumn. 1t propagates
readily by leans of seed.
LILACS. These are too familiar to
need description. All of the common
forms and many of the less known
forms are perfectly hardy. They are
very useful in ornamental work.
ROSES. There are but few roses
that can be recommended for out door
culture. The we'll known Harrison's
yellow is suitable for outdoor planting.
Among the single roses there are none
SO fine as the various forms of Rosa
Rugosa. the Japan and Siberian roses.
any protection. The flowers are large
and range from deep red to white.
The foliage is handsome, the leaves
being dark green, leathery and wrin-
killed., whence the name Rugosa. The
fruits or hips are large, bright red and
very ornamental during the winter.
The plant is easily propagated by
seeds and cuttings.
MEADOW SWEET. Several kinds
of this beautiful group of shrubs are
cultivated but only one will be men
toned. The best known form is
Spirea Van Houtii, also known as
bridal bower. This is an elegant
shrub and wonderfully beautiful when
in blossom. 1t is perfectly hardy and
an order for some of the plants should
accompany every nursery order.
NATIVE SHRUBS. There are a
number Of native shrubs suitable TO;
making hedges, planting in groups
etc. One living near a river need MOI
lack for an abundance Of ornamental
shrubs and there will be no doubt OF
their hardness.

Bacon Versus
Lard Hogs.
BY w. B. Richards, Professor
Animal Husbandry, North
Dakota Agricultural ColIeqe.

X 4 i. !. 4 X i. i. + i. i. !. !. i. !. j. !.
The hog adapted for the production
of high grade bacon gives promise of
being produced extensively in the
Northwest before many years pass,
and especially in North Dakota. A
great many farmers are using the
blood of the bacon breeds of swine in
their herds at the present time. The
Large Improved Yorkshire breed is
being raised by many. At the present
time 1t is somewhat questionable
which type of hog is the most profit
able to raise.
The farmers of the province of On
tario, Can, raise the bacon type of
swine for market by the use OF the
bacon breeds almost universally to the
exclusion of the lard type. They feed
practically the same feeds that the
farmers Of this state can grow sue
cessfully. The farmers of Ontario,
however, feed considerable dairy by
products, because they are extensive
ly engaged in dairying. AS a result of
the farmers of Ontario growing the
bacon type of hog so generally they
have succeeded in capturing the Eng
fish trade for fancy bacon, and they
are in direct competition with Den
mark and Holland-the countries that
have the reputation for producing the
best grade of bacon put on the mar
ket. High class bacon sells for better
prices than the poorer grades of pork,
and this las enabled the Canadian
packers to pay more for hogs thar
they do on our markets in this coun-
try. A comparison of market prices
of hogs at Toronto, Can, and Chicago
during the years 1~S97-9S-99, show that
the prices paid at Toronto ranged on
the average so cents to $1.23 per hun
dred higher than those paid at Chica-
go. The writer did not have access
to the necessary market reports to
determine the difference in prices
paid during the past few years. 1t is
questionable if the range is as great
at present.

Experiment Shows Good Results From
Bronze Hay.


In an experiment to determine the
relative value as compared with tim

horses, oats constituting the grain ra-
ton in both cases. The experiment
was conducted for a period of AZ days.
Two work teams were used for the ex.
pertinent. One horse from each team

weeks. at the end of which time it
was changed to timothy hay, while it's
mate received bronze hay.
The stock ate the bronze hay m

amount and kind Of work and were
given practically the same quantity
of oats.

IN PROSPECT.

TINE country. The country,
Vast, free, unconfined,
Away from the city,
Its greed and its grind.
So charming the landscape,
So balmy the air,
Except for the sinner
Who spent his youth there!
One who has known only
A citified fiat.
Has lived all his lifetime
IN places like that.
Is sure and for certain
He'd take to the soil
AS bees take to honey
Or lamp Wicks to oil.
But one who was nurtured
And born to the sod,
The years of whose boyhood
Were close to the clod,
He blesses his fortune
And doesn't go back,
Though trains may be running
That stay on the track.
1t sticks in his memory
And also his craw,
Those five o'clock breakfasts
The SUI never saw.
Let innocence venture
Its fortune to shape

FENCING ACROSS A GULLY.

Mr.. Editor-Often when building a
wire fence across a ravine or ditch,
it is difficult to keep the wire down
close enough to the ground to keep
the stock from crawling through and
equally hard to keep a post set in the
ditch from pulling up. To do away
with both these difficulties set a post
in the center of the ditch and one at
the top of the grade on each side.
