TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING
Tibetans Will Not Be Denied the Joys That Accrue From the Sense
 of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time"" calls out one of the peddlers by the way side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees you returning from a glimpse of the snows at sunrise. You bid him come to you. and from one of the innumer- able pockets concealed in his volu- minous robe he will produce a perfect little jade cup. or a Tibetan coffee pot. or gold copper and precious stones, or perhaps a huge lump of rough turquoise hewn to look like a couch with tiny gold Buddhs reclin- ing on it.
 Then comes the bargaining in which he and all his friends take part against your single self
 It can all be done by signs and smiles and patience and in the long run you will get some things well worth having at a very. reasonable price.
 But you must have no false pride about bargaining. It is an elementary part of these peoples nature, and the Joy of selling will leave them forever when the day of haggling is done.

Those who have . flock of sheep. pr who purchase lambs for fall fatten- ming. can pasture them to advantage h late summer and all through the fall In cornfelds. If the corn is not in.est- cd with summer grasses and weeds it will be necessary to plant cowpeas, rye or some other catch crop between the rows of corn. Where the cornfield Is large and the flock of sheep or 'ambs small there will be no need of planting any special crop between rows. as there will be enough feed tor the animals in chance weeds and aerbage among the corn and along the fences.
 Last summer we had a cornfield in ~hich were a few weeds of several kinds and considerable crabgrass and foxtail. says a Missouri writer in Farm Progress. A small flock of sheep and lambs was turned into this field in August and we found that neither the lambs nor the sheep ate any of the .orn blades worth considering. and they did not bother the ears of corn a the least. But they eagerly ate the weeds and summer grasses, cleaning

IS NURSE CROP ESSENTIAL |?
Decided Difference of Opinion Among Growers of Aifalfa-Reduces
 Baking and Blowing.

By JAMES MARSHALL. Colorado Es-
 pertinent StationD
 There Is a decided difference of opinion among growers of alfalfa con corning the relative value of a nurse crop. Many are of the belief that a nurse crop is essential to good stand of alfalfa, while others are of the opin- ion that nurse crop is unnecessary. As a rule, on sandy lands that are sub ject to blowing, or on heavy lands which have tendency to bake. 6 nurse crop may be of benefit. as it reduces blowing or baking.
 Oats and barley make the best nurse crops because they shade the ground the least. They should be seeded at the rate of from thirty to forty pounds to the acre. These should be cut for hay so as not to shade the alfalfa plants too long.
 Unless the soil is subject to blowing or baking it is not advisable. as a gen eral rule, to use a nurse crop. Under dry-land conditions a nurse crop should never be used, as the moisture supply is too limited to sustain two crops at one time.

MAKING PROFIT BY
 GIVING HOGS WHEAT
Interesting and Instructive Re. suits in Swine Feeding 0b-
 tained in Kentucky.

The Kentucky experiment station ob tained Ss cents to $1.1e a bhshel for wheat by feeding it to hogs last veal when hogs were selling at q hun drecweight. If legs had scid fer $s 2 hnndredweieht the return would have been SIPS to $i-33 a bushel MaEifestly it will not be profitable tc feed wheat to kogs as lcng as it is selling at present prices but when ii drcps to the figures paid last year a. harvest it will be more profitable to feed it than to sell it provided the prices paid for hogs are satisfactory
 It ordinarily is estimated that ground wheat has about the same feed ing value as ground corn The price Of corn. therefore. is a factor which should be considered when deciding whether to feed or sell the wheat. The Kentucky experiments show also thai ground wheat returned tc 10 cents more . bushel than soaked wheat The results of the experimen: are de scribec ia detail h Bulletin No. iSt which can be obtained ty writing ts the Kentucky Agricultural Eyperimea station, LeXingtoa.

FURNISH HOGS SOME
 SHADE IN SUMMER
farmer Who Is Net Supplied With Trees Has Quite Difficult
 Problem to Solve.

The hog needs a shade in the hot summertime. Without it he will be reduced in flesh very rapidly. Heat is \ great flesh reducer, and the blister ing rays Of the sun will trim down the hogs very rapidly. The man who is fattenirg his hogs is very liable to lose some of them if they must be exposed to the burning rays Of the midday sun during the hot season.
 The farmer who lives in timbered country will have ID trouble in pro- viding shade for his hogs. On one farm there was a 40-acre tract of wooded land. Here the hogs were kept in the summer. They had the shade to pro tee. them from the sun, and ccol- ing spring came from under ledge of rock and flowed down the branch, so they had sufficient pure water in which to walIow.
 It is the man on the prairie who is troubled with the shade question. An ideal shade for hogs is provided by a man who had no tree cn his place except g few in his yard. He had constructed a long shed out of cheap lumber, opening to the north His fine Poland China hogs were stretched cut in a long line beneath the shelter Of the shed, enjoying protection from the hot rays of the midday sun.
 A man had better construct a shed and cover it with straw than to let ais hogs suffer.

REASON FOR THE MUsTAc:E
In Evidence as Having Been Worn =. Britis1 Soldiers as Measure of
 Military Necessity.

The co, espondent who writes to a contemporary suggesting that the British war office authorities should insist on soldiers being clean shaven instead of ordering them to wear mus taches. might have alleged Teutonic influence in the adoption of the mus tache of the British army. The idea was first borrowed from a batch of Austrian officers quartered with some of our troops on the South coast dur ing the Waterloo campaign. It was then taken up by the guards, who very much resented any attempt on the part of mere line regiments to follow the new fashion. The winter cam paign in the Crimea led our men to grow full boards for warmth, and these, modified into flowing whiskers c'Picadilly weepers," as they came to be called) on their return to Lon don, were long regarded as the mark of the man of fashion.-London Chronicle.

BEST SOILS FOR FIELD PEAS
Lime, Are Best Adapted-FaIi Flowing Recommended.

Field peas will grow on a variety of soils. Clay loans, if well supplied with lime. are best adapted. but ex- cellent crops are grown on stif clays. Light. sandy or gravelly soils are not so suitable for raising crops of seed since they are too likely to dry out Mucky soils produce a large growth of vine. but the yield of grain is small While field peas do best when they have an abundance of moisture overly wet soils are entirely unsuited to the crop.
 Fall blowing is to be recommended as it allows early sowing the follow ing spring. which is most desirable in this country. Field peas can be sown with a grain drill or broadcast by hand. If sown for peas !: is best to seed in drills twenty-eight to thirty inches apart. which permits horse cul- tivation in the early stages of growth In this case forty to fifty pounds of seed Is enough to SOW an acre. If wanted for fodder or green maturing 1t is best to SOW broadcast and use from eighty to one hundred pounds of seed to the acre. The depth of sowing varies from two to four inches. being deepest on light soils.
 If the land has not been plowed in the fall the seed can be broadcasted immediately after blowing. The seeds fall into the depressions between the furrows and are usually we'll covered by the narrowing Peas are very hardy and the fear of rotting In the ground is not considered The ma 1ority of growers SOW in April, al though pea-hay crop can be obtained if sown as late as July Early sow ing Is best. giving a full season for maturing the crop.
 When early sowing is made in drills thirty to forty pounds of seed to the acre make a crop that covers the ground and produces good tonnage. IT late sowing is made. sixty to eighty pounds is advisable. as the crop does not come to matured growth. Thick sowing will aid in choking out weeds.
 Peas on dry land are profitable. not only from the standpoint of the seed and forage secured. but in the effect upon the soil. In one instance on the plains wheat grown on land which had been in peas made 25 bushels to the acre. Wheat on adjoining land which had not grown peas made only eight bushels that year. The pea is legume, and Is able to increase the nitrogenous fertility of the soil

STUDY EACH COW IN
 EVERY DAIRY HERD
Greatest Good Not Always De. rived in Eliminating the Un-
 profitable Animals.

It is a fact, and there is evidence of if. that it is . good plan to weigh and test the milk of each individual COW; but it is a far better plan to take each COW in the herd and make a care, ful study of her and investigate to see if she has reached the limit of her pro. duction. By weighing and testing the milk some rather surprising results have been found in many of our dairy cows.
 The greatest good that has been derived is not alone in eliminating the improbable COW, but rather in awak' ening to the importance of studying the individuals in each herd.
 When you find . COW that is not yielding . desired profit, see if she is not capable of better things before condemning her.
 Watch the scales and reward her with each increase of milk, and you will cftentimes find that her limit will be far above what you had at first thought. Be fair to the COW and give her . chance

FEED SOUR MILK TO CHICKS
Stimulates Growth Of Younger Ones and Tends to Increase Egg Pro-

CBy N. E. CHAPMAN)
 Farmers and poultry raisers should feed sour skim milk constantly. al least after chicks are a few days old. It will stimulate their growth. It also increases egg production in the lay. ing focks.
 , Numerous experiments have demon. strated that skim milk and curds, or cottage cheese, are among the most stimulating feeds for poultry of all kinds, except very young chicks.
 Many claim that sweet milk is much safer until the chicks are at least . week or ten days old.
 There is a constant supply on near ly every farm and it should be univer- sally used for the farm flock

UNACCEPTABLE LAND
 LIKE B0ARDER COWS
Low Yielding Acres Are Often Fatal to Successful Farm-
 ing-Drainage Favored.

The United States department of agriculture sends out a bulletin from which this article is taken:
 We hear many uncomplimentarv things about the unproftatIe dairy cow-the toarder COW that is support. ed from the profits Of the remainder of the herd. On many farms the un. profitable dairy COW is not ty any means the only boarder. Low yielding acres, like boarder COWS. are often fatal to successful farming.
 Our farm survey records show that area of poorly drained, compact, sour soils. or soils low ia humus greatly reduce net profits ard are a frequent cause Of minus labor income. Some tines these records show that as much as 90 per cent of the entire farm acreage does net produce enough to pay its way.
 One farm Sn which We recently took records has 70 acres Of poorly drained land that iL its present condition is practically worthless. Twenty-Five dol lars per acre spent in drainage will make this i0-acre tract the equal cf any ia that district, and good land is selling there at $50 per acre.
 The successful business man tries to weed cut all unprcfitable enter prises and to expand those that pay a profit. Un9rcftable acres cannot al ways be disposed Of as rapidly as boarder COWS. but usually they can be improved until they become profit. bearing. If the income from such land cannot be increased, it is quite pcssi. ble that the labor spent upCn 1t car be reduced until the income at least pays the cost of labcr.
