THE TAIL OF MY PIG

There lay my pig beside a ditch
Oh water hole, j don't know which.
Beside him lay another creature
Resembling him in form and feature
The time, ! think was last October;
The man was drunk my pig was sober
On the mans finger was ring,
In my pigs nose a similar thing.

OF likeness 'twixt the two be seen.
For brevity let it suffice
To say that neither looked too nice,
But in the mild autumnal weather
They lay contentedly together.
Some city people passing by
CHANGED these companions to espy,
And as they passed they dropped q
word
Which my pig listening, overheard:

they,
''By company kept from day to day."

GREENS GIVE GROWTH.
Exchange.

People get hungry for greens in
the springtime just as they are anx-
ious to eat fresh eggs. Peoples ap-
petites are quite often absolutely cor
rect in selecting what their system
needs. Greens not only supply val
liable roughage in diet, but they al
so give growth not to be obtained
from wheat. corn, beans or any OF
her seed.
OF course everybody has been told
repeatedly by the family physician
that greens are rich in minerals
and therefore good for ones health.
Now the scientists have found in
leaves and other green foods a sub
stance which they call fat soluable
A." This same substance which pro-
notes growth is also found in con-
centrated form in butter and the egg
yolk A number of interesting exper-
iments have been made and others
are now in progress at the Kentucky
Experiment Station in the value of
this substance in producing growth
in young chickens and young rats.

SWEET CLOVER FOR HOGS.

Sweet clover is an excellent pastur-
age for hogs. The animals may be
turned on the field the first year
after sowing the crop, as soon as the
plants have made a full six inch
growth. From this time until fall
an abundance of forage is produced
as pasturing induces the plants to
send out many tender, succulent
branches. Pasturing may begin tue
second year as soon as the growth
starts in the spring. II not closely
grazed in the spring, it is advisable
to clip it occasionally leaving an
eight inch stubble.
An acre of sweet clover will sup
port 20 to 80 head of shoats i'm addi-
ton TO furnishing light cutting Of
hay.

WASHINGTON BUILT A DRILL

When Washington farmed all seed
was sown by hand. He saw that
this method distributed seed badly
SO he made a barrel plough" which
was the beginning of our modern
grain drill In writing to a friend
he said that it did not do good work
in land, that is very full either of
stumps, stones. or large clods; but
where the ground is tolerable free
from these and in good tilth, and
particularly in light land, 1 am GER
tain you win find it equal to Your
most ,sanguine expectation, for Indian
corn, wheat, barley, pease or any 9TH
er tolerably round grain. A small
bag containing about peck of the
seed you are sowing is hung to the
nails ON the right handle, and with
a small tin cup the barrel is replen-
ished with convenience whenever
necessary without loss of time, of
waiting to come up with the seed-bag

RAW ROCK PHOSPHATE ADVISED

Where procurable, the use OF raw
rock phosphate is advisable, in view
Of the high price OF other fertilizers.
It is an excellent reinforcement OF
stable manure, as a material to be
plowed under with green cover crops
and as n profitable plant food for
direct application TO soils that are
rich in organic matter
For immediate results, acid phos-
pilates are advised, but the former
has twice as much phosporic acid as
the usual fertilizer bought as acid
phosphate, but is slower in releasing
its properties.
