Feed Charcoal to Hoos,

Nearly every hog feeder practices
burning the corn cobs, knowing that
the hogs relish eating the charcoal
from their doing SO. A splendid way
to dispose of the cobs and make an
excellent quality of charcoal is to dig
a hole in the ground about FIVE feet
deep.
After the cobs are dry they can be
placed in this hole, starting fire in
the bottom as they are placed in the
pit, and keep adding cobs, so that the
fame is gradually drawn to the top
until the pit is filled with cobs: then
the pit should be covered with sheet
iron cover, made so as to fit over the
entire hole, and close up the cobs that
are on fire.
The edge of the lid should be sealed
by throwing loose dirt over it. Cobs
will burn this way into fine quality
of charcoal, and after standing about
twelve hours may be uncovered and
aiken out.

one element of plant food is exhausted.
Rotation tends to even up the soil.
One crop leaves the land in good phys

hLmus, which all crops must have.
In some years green crops will be
turned under. This gives the soil
almost immediate available plant
food. and larger supply of nitrogen
The gardener should have a plan OF
rotation mapped out which will repeat
every 9-11-13 or any other certain num-

OF the field and the time desired. In
doing this the same amount of all vege-
tables may be grown one year with
another. The one requirement of this
plan would be to have the plots Of

AS an example of rotation, potatoes
may be followed by beans. peas. or
cabbage. In general. one crop should
be followed by another of different
nature. 1t is not necessary to change
the plots every year. Put one plot in
sweet corn, say, for two years, fol-
lowed by two years of peas. This
should be followed by two years OF

COST OF KEEPING GOOD cows
Pertinent Question That No Two Writ
ers Seem to Agree on-Viewpoint
Is Entirely Wrong.

This is always a pertinent question.
but unfortunately no two writer's agree
in their figures. Mr. Robert Edkins
of Westtown, Pa, who has dairy of
10 cows whose average yield of milk
is $500 pounds figures the cost of
keeping at $152.02 per COW. Prof. Fra
ser of the Illinois college Of agricul-
ture places the cost at SOL per COW.
Nearly all writer's figure in lot of
items that the average farmer pays
no attention to. But it is very evil
dent that it is costing farmers consid-
erably more than they are aware Of
to keep their cows and that is one
reason why they do not find more mon
ey in their pocket at the end of the
year.
Right here steps in that everlasting
question of keeping only good cows.
Back of that question is the other of a
farmer showing enterprise and courage
in his determination to improve his
herd. 1t is simply amazing to men Of
sense and discernment, why there are
so many farmers who seem bewitched
to stay by the poor COW. They are
beating themselves yearly out of good
profits, many suffering loss instead,
and yet they will not buy a good reg
! istered bull and go at the work reso-
lutely of raising cows that it will pay
to keep.
The sticking point with them in
many cases seems to be the price that
a good bull costs. They are not at all
concerned over what they are losing
every year. They will pay $3.50 for a
good farm horse and choke to suffoca-
ton over paying 5000 for bull that
horse WILL They look at things from
