FARMERS ARE GREAT MOVERS
Figures Show That Many AgricuItur-
lists Move Before They Become
Acquainted With Farms.

Statistics prepared under the direc-
tion of the department Of commerce
show that farmers are necessarily
moving.
Replies from nearly 100000 farm
ers in answer to the question how
long they had resided upon their
farms showed that So per cent had
moved within five years. Over 1,OOO,-
900 farmers had moved within year
In the North, 81 per cent had lived
upon their farms five years or longer;
in the West, A per cent, and In the
South, Al per cent.
These figures are significant, In the
opinion OF the government authori-
ties, because they show that farmers
move before they have had time to
become acquainted with the various
conditions OF the soil and climate Of
any one locality, this lack Of knowl-
edge resulting in a small yield OF
crops per acre, in neglect Of buildings.
and in failure to conserve the fertility
Of the soil. Still. nothing can be done
about the matter until some way can
be found to eradicate the rowing germ
in human nature.

NOTES FROM HOG LOT
Money in Pushing the Pigs for
Early Maturity.
No Farm Animal More Fully Appre'
eIates Pure Water Than Swine
Provide Plenty Of Range
Keep Yards Sanitary.


Movable hog houses have come to
stay.
Early maturity decreases the risk
from disease.
The pigs bed Is of as much impor-
lance as his food.
The breed is Of less Importance
than the surroundings.
II does not pay to allow pigs to run
through a wet pasture.
Bran is an excellent substitute for
succulence in the sow's ration.
II is a poor idea to think that any
one breed is free from disease.
A liberal feeding Of roots to the
brood sows insures healthy pigs.
Thousands OF young pigs are annu-
ally lost through lack Of exercise.
To be successful a man must be
particular with his breeding stock.
The cost of the product is lessened
by pushing the pigs for early ma
turity.
Glover is our cheapest hog food. and
every farmer should plan to use all
he can.
Health is natural, disease Is unnat-
ural. health is contagious as well as
disease.
To make hogs profitable we must
provide plenty of range, that we may
keep their yards clean and sanitary.
A successful hog grower must do
this thinking for himself after he
reads the writings of other hog-grow-
ers.
Maintaining a steady gain in weight
and a high degree of health are two
secrets of success In making pork
cheaply.
The loss Of condition at weaving
time may be greatly reduced IL the
pigs have been accustomed to supple
mentary foods.
While the hog is considered the
most filthy of animals, yet no kind OF
animal appreciates pure water more
than the hog.
Better send the pigs to bed hungry
than to send them into a wet nest
with full stomach. The results are
the same and the cost less.
1t will pay any hog-grower to dip
all of his growing pigs, at least once
month, to keep their skin in good
condition and free from lice.
In economical pig-feeding we must
make the most Of our grain feeds by
mingling them with coarse cheap
foods, thereby reducing the cost OF
the ration.
Every change in feeding should be

KEEPING FIELD EDGES CLEAN
Many Farmers Do Not Make Much
Effort to Discourage Encroach-
ment Of Trees Along Creeks.

Most owners Of creek farms do not
make any great effort to fight the
brush and timber that keeps creep
ing in from the woodland along the
fields. Where there is plenty of rain.
fall, the timber can crowd in on the
fields very rapidly, and the farmers
who do not desire to have the size
Of their fields decrease should make
every effort to keep the edges of the
field trimmed up.
White elms are especially bad about
working into a field. This tree has
long limbs, which grow for really
wonderful distances over the fields.
shade the ground. and prevent the
crop from making a profitable growth.
Then the tree produces great amounts
OF seed which fly out over the fields,
where they sprout and begin to grow.
II is true they usually will die, but
they cause as much bother as weeds
and they must be killed.

TRAINING SHEEP DOG
Collie Should be Taught Wholly
by One Person.
Lessons Of Half an Hour Daily are
Sufficient and First One should be
Learned ThoroughIy-Pup
Should be Watched.

(By A. j. EwEN)
A good collie will be ready to begin
10 learn to drive sheep at about
three months OF age. He should be
taught wholly by one person.
First teach him to lead, placing a
string about his neck. He win soon
learn not to try to get away and to
come on hearing the word Here" or
whatever word is chosen, pulling on
the string until he learns to come
promptly.
Lessons of half an hour a day are
enough and this first lesson should be
learned very thoroughly. so that the
dog will come from any part Of the
yard instantly on hearing the word.
Next he learns the meaning Of the
word Go" by using the word when
sending him through an enclosure,
continually repeating the lesson until
he acts promptly.
As a part Of this lesson he should
be taught to stop anywhere on the
word Halt" emphasized at first by
pulling on the string. which should be
attached to his neck
The word Whoa" is also used by
some trainers to indicate that the
teacher is through with him for the
time being and the dog soon learns to
understand It.
While driving sheep it is convenient
to have the dog understand the word
Speak" which means that he is to
begin barking, and he can be taught
the word very easily by holding up
something which he wants to eat and
using the word.
The meaning of "Out" is easily
taught when the dog is in the house
by opening the door and pronouncing
the word.
After this preliminary education he
may go out with an old trained sheep
dog. By running with him the pup
will soon learn much about the bust
ness, but should be watched to see
that he does not try to go to the |
heads of the cattle.
After letting him try with the older |
dog for a few times he should be taken |
to the sheep or cattle without the
other dog.
If the cattle have been used to be-
ing driven by dogs they will not turn |
upon him, an occurrence which might !
injure his driving qualities for some |
time to come
He should learn the meaning OF
Steady" when inclined to drive the
cattle fast, and If the first training IL

Irish Prefxes of Honor.

In 1852: Such as have o prefixed were

such as have Mac were only great men,
viz, lords, thames, etc" Il would rath-
