Give the spring pigs plenty Of
pasturase. They should be kept
on good pastnrase. They should
be kept on pasturaee as long as
possible and gain the benefit Of its
cheap nutrients. specials mineral
and protein, and its tonic and digest
i've qualities. But pigs on pastur-
ase alone, even alfalfa. need some
grain supplement. The amount Of
erain or other concentrated feed
used would depend on how much
pasturage is available. on the cost
factor Of grain or other feeds, on
the age and condition Of the pigs
and the time. at which the farmer
expects to market them. To be
ready for early fall markets, spring
pigs must be fed a heavier grain
ration than pigs intended for the
winter market.

Working This Year.

When it Is impossible to hire men
about the only thing that can be
done is to plan the work so as to
get along without them. This, how
ever, should not mean a decrease in
production. Above all, this year a
big production Is essential. Be-
cause we are at war and food crops
are in urgent demand, 1t is our pa
triotic duty to produce all that we
can.
One farmer, who has been spec
ializing in poultry, has so rearrans-
ed his his farming plans that In
stead Of hiring from twot hree men
for the entire season, he will not
need to hire any. He is employing
only a small boy. His wife and his
father-in-law are helping with the
work as usual. Furthermore, his
new plan is almost sure to prove
just as profitable, if not more SO,
than the methods which he former
~ employed.

The strain Of overwork tells on
weakened kidneys. The hurry and

the poison from the blood and the

1t is not good plan to mix lime
either burnt or raw ground rcck
with acid phosphate, as the lime
will change the phosphoric acid.
That is, the lime will make the
phosphoric acid less soluble. 1t
will pay the farmer to spread the
lime on his land several weeks be-
fore using the acid phosphate. II
it is necessary to use them close
together, they should be thoroughly
disked into the soil separately.
Lime and potash can be used to-

product that contains nitron, as
manure, should not be mixed to-

All Germans form erly connected
with the embassy or with any Of
the many German consulates in the
United States, were last Saturday
requested to leave this country.
The State Department notified them
that their room was preferable to
their company and while they were
not accused Of being spies, their
loyalty TO the Kaiser might make il
difficult for them to stay in tht
United States without attempting
to send to the Kaiser information
Of a military character. 1t will be
remembered that the late German
ambassador to the United States
attempted to be the means by
which Mexico might become EN-

as effecting good rid dance Of bad
