lent feed and has often been of great
assistance In bringing hogs through
spells of sickness.
There is no disputing the fact that
corn is an ideal hog feed, but every
practical feeder admits that better re-
suits can be brought ABOUT by feeding
a ration that Is composed Of less than
two-thirds corn, 1t is a mistake to
think that we cannot afford to buy
other feed to mix with the corn.
Ordinarily it is a mistake not to
feed the hogs the liquid before the
solid food.
Hogs will make from 10 to IL
pounds of meat, live weight, for each
bushel of corn eaten, but because of
this too many farmers feed too much
corn.
The cream separator has greatly re-
duced scours in pigs because the skim
milk can always be fed while sweet.
When the SOW of good type has
proven herself prolific breeder, an
it is a good plan to keep her several
years.
The mature SOW requires only food
for maintenance, while the growing
one needs food for growth. Further.
more the older one will have an appe-
tite for waste that a young one would
not care for.
Exercise will help make that streak
of lean and streak of fat that is de-
sired.

Leaf blight liz the most common OF

increase in size and finally coalesce,
resulting Ia complete whiting and
curling of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings

alternaria blight of the potato. The
leaf stalks and vines are so affected.

SUPERIOR DAT
SEED ESSENTIAL
Good, Plump Variety VIII Gernni-
nate Rapidly and Get
Vigorous Start-Best
Land Needed.
CBy w. M. KELLYo

There is more light and inferior oat
seed plpanted than any other causes a
of small grain. Poor seed causes
low yield of oats every time. The
actual cost of improved seed Is very
low compared with the increased
yields that come from its use.
By good seed l do not mean ex-
tremely high-priced seed that is adj
vertised to produce 100 bushels Of oats
to the acre but good plump seed that
will germinaCe rapidly and get Wig
orous star! early in the spring. We
seldom see a large crop of oats
threshed from a field that makes a
poor start in the spring.
I have found that it pays big re-
turns to select one acre of the best
land to grow seed oats on each year
and to keep this crop for seed only
and to buy new seed every two
or three years to plant on this acre
plot.
Under ordinary conditions / believe
that we should change oat seed every
three or four years, for there is no
farm crop that will thrive better when
moved from one locality to another
than oats, or that will deteriorate
faster when grown On the same farm
year after year. OF course proper
seed selection will help to overcome
this tendency, but few farmers take
that precaution.
Closely linked with the good seed
question comes that of selecting or
planting healthy seed, and / have
found it a good plan to treat all oat
seed with formalin before sowing, to
kill the smut spores and insure healthy
seed.

oriqin of the Potato.

The potato, which was already cul-
tivated in America when the continent
was discovered, is spontaneous in
Chile. 1t was introduced to Europe in
1850 and 1886 by the Spaniards, and
almost at the same time by the Eng
lish, who brought it from Virginia,
where it had appeared about 1850. The
sweet potato and the Jerusalem arti-
choke are also supposed to come from
America.
