WILL STUDY FARM FINANCING.

Myron T. Herrick, recently appoint
ed ambassador to France, said that it
is his purpose to study what has been
accomplished in that country toward
providing for the financial needs of
the agricultural interests. This is a
subject, he said, in which he had been
deeply interested and he hoped that
he might be able to further the adop-
ton in this country of methods that
had been signally successful abroad.
"In this country" said Mr.. Herrick,
I'VE have worked out methods for
successfully financing municipalities,
railroads and industrial corporations,
and we are now engaged in serious
attempt to reconstruct our banking
and currency system, but, in large
measure, we have overlooked the
financial needs of the farmers. All
that is necessary for US to do is to
adapt to conditions in this country
methods that have been eminently
successful in other countries-Trance,
Germany and Austria"

do you see that pig there? Now
notice that she does not stand up on
the tip of her toes. She stands on her
toes from the end back to the little
claws, which we call dew claws. She
has a bad bend in the lower part of
the leg. The bend comes at what is
called the pastern, a short bone be-
tween the toes and the ankles. If a
pig stands up well, this pastern is
quite straight up, but if she stands
badly, the foot is away down and the
pastern is not we'll carried. That
means weak leg and it cannot sup

when the people had to drive their
pigs to market, sometimes long dis
tances, strong legs and bones were
very important. Nowadays it is diff

any time, but we do want strong short
legs and good feet, so the pig can sup.

PROTECTING THE ORCHARD FROM FROST

The subject of frost protection has
attracted a great deal of attention
during the past two or three years.
Three years ago there was good
deal of criticism of heating "all out
of Goors," as it was called, but the
experience of great number of prac-
tical men has demonstrated that the
use of orchard heaters is practical
and that their use is a cheap insur-
anoe against damage by frost. We
have space here to little more than
mention the subject However, we
may state briefly that oil heaters are
considered to be preferable to coal
for the reason that they can be more
readily started as well as refilled, and
so may be more efficient.
The cost of eQuipping an orchard
with oil heaters should be about $25
per acre. If oil is used reservoir
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1912-03-14

Arrangements can usually be made
with the local weather bureau to help
in forecasting frosts. During this
period the orchard man must be on
the alert and when the thermometer
gets down to near the freezing poi :
the fire should be started. Sometimes
a period of frost does not last for a
great length of time and by carefully
watching these changes a great saw

collected. given coating of oil and
stacked away in a dry place for the
next seasons use. If carefully handled
in this way there is no reason why
they should not last for several years.
