and allowed to grow one season. Near
the close of the growing season, usual
y the latter part Of August, a bud
from the desired variety is inserted
in the Seeding, near the surface Of
the ground. During the following ten
days or two weeks the little bud has
grown fast The string should now

This country is experiencing
shortage of hogs such as it has not
had for years. The shortage was
caused, in part, by the high price Of
corn, which was the result of the

price of corn and hogs has been such
for the last three or four years that
frequently the farmer was tempted
TO sell the corn rather than raise
hogs
