SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF BERKSHIRE HOG
Animal in Good Condition Is At.
tractiye in Appearance Noted
for ProIificacy.

In general form a modern well-bred
Berkshire, in good condition, is sym
metrical throughout. attractive in ap-
pearance and recognized at once a.
an animal of more than ordinary
worth.
The improved Berkshire is further
characterized by the superior quality
and proportionate quantity Of its flesh.
which is tender and juicy. the hams
and shoulders being nicely marbled
with fat and lean meat, while the sides
are also noted for their excellence
in these respects. making them espe-
cially desirable for curing as bacon.
There is less loss in dressing well.
fitted Berkshire than In dressing any
other kind Of hog. From the fattenins
pen to the packing house he suffers
less loss than any other breed, and
after he has gone through the curing
process and has found the consumer
the percentage of waste is the smallest
Of any breed.
Berkshire swine are also noted for
their docility and prolilcacy. the sows
usually bringing large litters and
proving themselves gentle mothers..

and cracked corn, wheat screenings.
etc., II such feeds are placed within
their reach.
The best way to feed grain to lambs
is to make creep for them. This ia
pen in the pasture with an opening
on each side through which the lambs
can creep but small enough to keep
the ewes out.
II such pen is made of Stats set
upright, the Stats may be far enough
apart to allow the lambs to creep
through anywhere at pleasure
This pen or creep should be COW
cred so as to protect the grain from
rains and should have a trough in 1t
In which the grain should be kept all
the time.
Tie lambs will grow and thrive
wonderfully and when weaving time
comes they may be taken away from
the ewes without any setback at all.
Lambs mature quickly and make
better size II they are taught to eat
grain as quickly as possible.
While it is advisable to see the
sheep often while they are on pas
ture. still it is not necessary to stay
with them all the time and good re-
suits may be obtained with plenty Of
good water, salt and feed and week
ly visit, il the dogs do not trouble
them.
II, however. sheep-killing dogs are
around. be ON your guard with good
shotgun.

BEST TIME TO HAVE
THE COWS FRESHEN
More Time for Caring for Animal
and Her Products in Winter
Than in Summer.

(By c. A. HUTTON. University OF Ten
nessee.)
There are several advantages IN
having the cows freshen in the fall OF
the year instead Of in the spring.
There is more time on the farm for
caring for the COW and her, products
during the winter months.
Cows will give better yield Of milk
than IL they freshen in the spring. II
they are properly cared for and fed,
they will milk we'll when fresh; then.
when the grass comes in the spring. IL
helps to keep the milk flow. so that the
fall fresh cow will milk better through
out the year than the one that fresh
ems in the spring. The cows will bs
dry during the hot summer months.
when pastures are short and flies are
bad. More attention can be given to
caring for the calves, and they will be
ready to turn ON pasture in the spring
when grass comes.
There is more demand for milk and
butter during the winter months, and
the price is higher than in the summer.
II cows are bred 30 as to freshen In
the fall, they will give better cash re-
turns from the sale Of their products.

RAISE PEANUTS IN
NORTHERN SECTIONS
Spanish Variety Grows in a
Bunch and Can Be Planted
cIosely-Matures Early.
{By HUGH a. GR1NsTEAc)

(By HUGH q. GRINsTEAC.)
A few years ago It was thought that
peanuts, or COOLERS" as they are
called in the South, could be raised
only in the southern states. but now it
is known that they do fairly well a.
far north as Iowa, while they grow
almost as we'll in Missouri as in the
more southern states.
The best variety TO plant 20 far
north is the Spanish. which grows
In bunch, can be planted closer, and
natures earlier and more even than
the old Virginia varieties. The soil
best suited to the growth Of peanuts
is sandy or warm and we'll drained.
They should not be planted till tho
ground is warm. about the same time
you would plant melons. Prepare the
ground we'll. and drop the seed two in
Q hill II inches apart for the bunch
kind. and about 20 inches apart for
the vine kinds usually grown in the
South.
They should be kept clean. It is
not necessary to cover the vine with
dirt in order to get 1t to form nuts. as
was once done, for the vines will
throw out runners on which the nuts
form by little roots running into the
ground.
never saw peanut plant quit
bearing. Like the cotton plant, they
have fruit of all stages of growth
when the crop is harvested, and. of
course, the longer the season the
larger the crop.
AS soon as there Is danger of frost
the vines should be pulled up. A
fork should be run under the hill,
loosening the ground so all the nuts
may be pulled up with the vine. The
vines may be allowed to remain in the
field IL the weather is good, or they
may be taken to the barn and the nuts
picked of at any time.
II the vines are not allowed to get
wet they make excellent hay. There
will be many culls or imperfect nuts
that are worth nothing and should
be left on the vines for the stock.
A pound of nuts from any good
scotsman will plant enough for home
use. They are healthful food and
contain much nourishment.

(By A. c. cHOATE.)
BY this time the sheep have been
turned into pasture and desire to
give a few points ON the feed for
the flock during the time they are on
grass.
When you fasten the gate behind
the flock when they are turned on the
pasture do not think that your duties
are ended until November
In the business of raising sheep 1t
is the shepherd with the ever-watch-
full eye who is reaping success, now
as always.
A little time will insure a good start
and cost but little.
As soon as the ground can be
worked, take a little strip of land. pre-
pare good seeded and SOW in
rape.
In three weeks SOW a second strip
and SO on until the last of July. These
plots should be adjacent to the pas
ture and can be temporarily inclosed
by woven wire, giving the sheep new
feeding ground every four or five
days.
AS sheep want short, crisp grass 1t
can be secured by this method with
out overlooking the pasture and 1t
would be we'll to have 1t so arranged
that the sheep can be changed from
one division to another once in two
weeks.
1t is surprising how soon a lot of
lambs will begin to eat bran. oats.

FOR SHADY WINDOWS
ev EeEN RExFoRp.

BY E6EN REXFORO.
It often happens that the woman
who loves plants has no sunny win
dows in which to grow them, and, I'M
der the impression that they cannot be
successfully grown without sunshine,
she does not attempt their cultivation,
thus depriving herself of a great deal
of pleasure. especially in the winter.
There is no good reason why the
lover Of plants should be without their
company in the winter, provided, Of
course. that the temperature of the
rooms can be- regulated to keep out
the frost, and some Of the plants that
can be grown in the windows that are
without sunshine are among our most
desirable ones for house culture.
First on the list would place the
Boston fern. Nearly everyone is IA
mtliar with this plant. 1t requires only
the ordinary attention
Give it soil of garden loan, with
enough coarse, sharp sand worked
into it to make 1t friable. liberal, but

cess with It.
It does not do very well, however,
in steam-heated. gas-lighted rooms. No
plants will flourish under such condi-
lions, though many will live on indefi-
nitely under them.
The Aspidistra is about the only
plant would dare to recommend to
those living in rooms heated and light
ed as mentioned above.
This plant has an almost iron con-
stitution, which enables it to Withstand
Influences that would soon kill most
plants.
1t seems to care nothing for the sun
chine, and therefore is excellently
adapted to cultivation in sunless
fooms.
II not subject to the facilitating ef-

plants. 1t is always grateful for good
care. and the plants that are cared for

best satisfaction, keep in mind.
English ivy is an old favorite.
Twined up about a window. it is q
beautiful sight to see. 1 know of no
vine having more attractive foliage.
Its dark, rich leaves have Just the
thick, leathery texture a plant should
have to resist the effect of dry air and
dust. Dust need never be allowed to
accumulate on 1t, however.
Dust the vine every day. You need
not be afraid of injuring the foliage.
Some of the finest specimens of II

glimpse of sunshine. Give it a soil Of

scale. II any are found-generally
along the stalks, but sometimes on the
leaves-wash the entire plant with
soapy water, taking care to rub the
infested stalks well.
In order to make 1t easy to take the
plant down for cleaning. l would ad-
wise putting small screw-hooks in the
window frame to furnish support for
1t, rather than fastening them secure
~ to the woodwork. Simply slip the
vine over the hook and it will need no
other support. When 1t is necessary
to take the plant down for any pur.
pose. all one has to do is lift it out of
the hooks that hold it-and there you
are.
The Whitman fern is a fitting COM
panion for the Boston fern, of which it
is a sport. This variety has much
shorter fronds than the Boston fern.
They are much wider, however, and
their leaflets are subdivided in such
manner that each becomes a mini2-
ture frond. The effect is light and
feathery and exceedingly graceful.
This is most excellent plant for a
place at the sill, while the Boston vari.
ETY. Is more effective If given a bracket
half way up the window. from which
point Of vantage its long fronds can
droop in such manner as to display
their charms most effectually.
All plant lovers have a desire to
grow some member of the Adiantum
branch Of the fern family in the living
room. Few have succeeded in doing
this. however. because of the delicacy
Of the ordinary varieties. But we have
one now that will adapt itself ordinar.

the usual home.
This is Crowcanum. have given 1t
years trial and 1t has proved salts

Boston fern. 1t 10 stronger. sturdier
in habit than any other Adiantum l
have ever seen and it's foliage Is thicker
and hrmer.
It grows to height Of about eight
cen inches and has q corresponding
spread Of branches. Its foliage has all
the grace that characterizes this d.
vision Of the great fern family, and
well-grown specimen is a thing to be
proud Of.
Give it soil of loan. turfy matter
or leaf mold and sand, equal parts. Let
its drainage be good; water well and
cover with something when you dust
the room.
All the plants mentioned above are
woodworking. Or, more strictly speak
ing, they are grown for their foliage
only. Whatever flowers they have are
so insignificant as to be unnoticeable.
But there are Towering plants quite
we'll adapted to culture in sunless
windows.
One of these is Primula obconica.
Another is Primula Forbesii. Primula
obconica has much longer flowers than
the other variety and is therefore more
snowy, but Primula Forbesii is most
charming little thing that will win its
way to the heart of every person who
loves flowers.
