Autumn brings with it a harvest of
nuts. Our native nuts are not appre-

cause we are an impatient people and
the nuts being small we will not take

Sailing Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at

sunny afternoon took stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improvised breakwater, where
some resident had filed bags with
sand and piled them in breastworks

croaching upon his land during the
stormy season.
One of the young ladies was curious

the bags were for.
why, it's very simple explained

water in Onset bay originally was
fresh, peculiarity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seasbore
advantages so the government took
the matter in hand, filed the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired

UNNECESSARY LOSS
IN MANURE HEAPS
Escape of Nitrogen Through
Heating Where Piles Are
Deep Is Considerable.

City manure can be bought more
cheaply in some seasons of the year
than in others. 1t is common practice
to throw the carloads of manure in
large piles to wait for use later on.
The chief losses come through heat
ing and teaching when manure is left
exposed. The amount of loss depends
upon the conditions under which the
manure is kept.
Heaps may be made so deep that
there is relatively small loss from
teaching. but in such case the escape
OF nitrogen through heating is very
great. Under average barnyard con-
ditions a loss from 20 to SO per cent
is expected from piles of manure ex-
posed for few months.
Even at the best. when manure is
kept under a roof and is hard packed
and is supplied with the right amount
of moisture to prevent heating, the
loss is supposed to be 10 per cent.

The selecting of the head Of herd
Is question which deserves much
more thought and consideration than
the average farmer thinks when the
subject first presents itself; and yet
II is one OF the most important ques-
tons with which the breeder has to
deal. Why?
Because the sire is the foundation
upon which the herd is built; just as
no good structure can be erected with
out firm foundation, neither can
good herd be established without a
good sire at its head.
In selecting n head for your herd,
the record must be closely examined.
not only of this particular animal. but
also the record of his sire and dam
for generations. II he is an animal
Of good type. possessing the charac-
teristics peculiar to his breed, and has
well-established blood lines. you can
feel pretty well assured that he will
transmit these characteristics to his
offspring.
Since the male represents exactly
one-half of the foundation of the herd,
1t is much cheaper. from a business
standpoint. to purchase and maintain
one good animal that represents SO
much blood of the herd and has such
a marked power or influence upon
the characteristics of such large num-
ber OF animals.

ESSENTIAL TO KEEP
ALL PIGS THRIFTY
One Of Most Important Things Is
to Stop Leaks and Get Rid
of the Boarders.

A large part OF the profits In hog
raising depends on the thrift and
health of the herd. The pig that is
stunted never is SO profitable as the
one that is kept thrifty and growing,
One OF the most important problems
hog growers have to solve Is to stop
the leaks and get rid of the boarders,
lice and worms, says Farmers Mail
and Breeze. Going out of the hog busi-
ness is not the remedy. 1t may pre-
vent direct losses in an occasional
year such as the past one has been,
but 1t will not utilize the feed grown
on the farm and keep up the soil fer
tility.
Failure to use the feeds available
to the best advantage is one of the
biggest leaks in the hog business. 1t
is poor policy to try to raise and fat
ten hogs on pasture without grain.
The successful farmer will provide
pasture for his hogs every month in
the year If possible. and he will feed
enough grain in addition to the pas
ture to keep his breeding hogs in good
condition. The grain fed ought to
provide some growth material as well
as fat-forming material. Loss often is
due to a failure to recognize the fact
hogs is but a continuation of the grow
ing period, and that the greatest diff
ference in the rations used during the
two periods should be in the amount
rather than in the kind of feed fed.

LEGUMES ARE GOOD
NITRATE PRODUCERS
On Average Farm Such Crops
Should Be Depended Upon to
Act as Soil Benefactors.

"The legumes as n source of nitrate
are rather too slow in action to give
real immediate profits when used to
produce great money crops" This is
the statement made by an advocate of
the use of nitrate of soda on American
soils.
Such statement should not lead
anyone away from the main fact that
legumes grown with other crops in a
field benefit those other crops the first
year. The second year the soil itself
is much better from having grown the
legumes than If nitrate of soda had
been used and no legumes grown.
Legumes are our natural nitrate pro
ducers. The nitrogen is cheaper, too.
when furnished us in this form. And
yet we should remember sodium nj
trate for its value in getting quick re-
suits. 1t is beneficial to almost every
crop when applied in the right
amounts and at the right time. For
quick results when starting a pasture
on poor land, as an application to or
chard soil for Fastening fruit, in mar
ket gardens where crops demand much
nitrogen, and in many other places
sodium nitrate is Indispensable Such
crops as potatoes, garden and truck
crops grown In colder sections need
quick-acting nitrates in addition to le-
gume nitrogen to push the crops be-
fore the organic source is ready
But on the average extensive farm
let US depend largely upon the legume
