BUCKWHEAT IS BEST
 GRAIN FOR POULTRY
Chickens and Turkeys Allowed to Harvest Crop TrampIing
 Down Does No Damage.
CBy A. J. LEGG.)

Buckwheat is the best grain crop that we have ever tried to furnish foraging ground for poultry.
 l SOW late in July and allow the chickens and turkeys to harvest 1t They are all the better for the exer- else and the only cost is for the seed and work of preparing the soil and sowing it.
 Late in last July l sowed about one acre where the chickens and turkeys could have free access. They began to work on it as soon as the grain were filled and were at work on 1t fo nearly two months.
 If 1t is trampled down on the ground the grains will not damage unless 1t is warm enough to sprout them. Buck wheat will lie on the ground all win. ter and grow in the spring
 A buckwheat stubble makes an ex- cellent feeding ground for poultry dur. ing pleasant days throughout the fall and winter season and the poultry en- joy the exercise.
 Our hens. bullets and September matched chicks are all in fine condi- ton. largely due to the buckwheat to which they have tree access

 The spring pigs are coming along now. Thousands die every year from too much cold wind.
 Get into the grape vines with knife and pruning shears, if you know how to prune. Otherwise keep out. Now is the time when the lice get busy in the chicken house. At 'em with the kerosene can and the white wash brush.
 What pity to let the baby chicks perish in the cold wind for lack of shelter.
 The spring crop of calves is coming now. Dehorn them by using bit of caustic instead of saving them off a year later.
 Do not give the sow's nest too much litter at farrowing time. Many pigs are destroyed by too full nest.
 No nest ever made for hen beats a half barrel laid on it's side, particularly for March weather.

RIGHT TREATMENT
 FOR PENCE POSTS
Pile Neatly and Allow Them to Thoroughly Season-PIan
 for Charring.

When most farmers prepare to build fences they set green posts and then when they begin to rot off at the top Of the ground after four or five years they grumble and fret great deal about the trials and tribulations of fencing. As a matter of fact, if the posts are neatly piled in the dry and allowed to thoroughly season. and then are treated by charring the end which is to be placed in the ground. and the top, which should be slanting. is painted with red lead and linseed oil, they will last 50 or 60 years.
 Here is the method for charring. Build heap of logs 10 or 12 feet long. set it on fire. and when burning brisk ly, lay upon the fire the ends of as many posts as 1t will accommodate crosswise. Turn them over . time or two. and when slight coal has formed upon the surface, throw them into 6 pile and put on others. You can treat four or i've hundred . day and if practiced by every farmer when build ing fence it would save enough in few years to bai1d good roads in every community.

MAKING MONEY IN
 PORK PRODUCTION
Quality Is More Important Than Size in BreederS-Avoid
 EIephantine Animal.

It is mighty hard work to correct your lack of ability as a feeder by buying a coarse-boned breeding boar.
 The best type of swine have been evolved from the experience of breed, CTS and packers.
 Quality is more important than size in selecting the breeding stock.
 We are at the beginning of a pc riod. of enlightenment concerning the possibilities of hog farming.
 Heavy feeding does not always pro- duce proportionate gains.
 At five months of age. the pigs most valuable asset is about one hundred and twenty pounds of bone and muscu- lar development, aided and supported by keen and natural appetite.
 Avoid the elephantine hog or steer they are freaks that cannot be re- lied upon to give carcass of great value or weight.
 The liberty of pasture affords the growing pigs the exercise necessary to produce perfect health and body development.
 Get a farm, young man, and raise good hogs
 It is a mistake to think we can find profit in buying milk feeds to supplement our corn crop. and neg lect to provide pasture and forage crops.
 Coarseness indicates low vitality, sluggishness and slow-feeding quail ties.
 The ideals of the breeder and pack CT are coming more and more toward one common standard. The demands of the packers are the reason for show-yard excellence.
 When farmers recognize the possi bility of exclusive pork production as a specialized branch of animal indus try, and evolve systems of farm man agement adapted to the business, it will become attractive as a business proposition. and herds of well-bred hogs will become common in many To- calities where few good hogs are now seen.

 His first day in New York left him with nothing more than a feeling of foreboding and oppression The ex- pected exhilaration of returning to the city of his birth did not materialize. So used to open spaces was he. to dis tances and the circle of horizons, that he knew he no longer belonged to the city with it's Himalayan gorges and canyons, whose torrents were human beings and whose glaciers were the hearts of these. A great loneliness bore down on him. For months he had been drawing familiar pictures. and to find none of these was like com ing home to an empty house. The old life was indeed gone; there were no threads to resume. A hotel stood where his club had been; the house in which he had spent his youth was no more. He wanted to leave the city, and the desire was with difficulty over come.
 Early the second morning he started downtown to the offices of the Andes Construction company. He was ex- traordinarily nervous. Cold sweat con- tinually moistened his palms. Change, change, everywhere change; Trinity was like an old friend. When the taxi cab driver threw off the power and indicated with a jerk of his head a granite shaft that scared up into the blue, Warrington asked: What place is this?"

 The most satisfactory method of growing this crop for swine is to pro- vide three yards of about equal size and seed them three weeks apart with one and one-fourth bushels of oats and five pounds of rape to the acre. The first lot, of course, is generally sown

as soon in the spring as the ground is dry enough to work.
 The pigs can be turned on to the first lot as soon as the rape is from IA to IS inches in height, and as soon as they have eaten it down to four or five leaves to the stock, the pigs are rotated from one lot to the other throughout the summer.
 If well supplied with satisfactory forage during the summer months, pigs can be finished for market and fattened off quickly as soon as the crop natures.
