Plant Popcorn Early.
Popcorn should be planted early so
1t will have a long season In which to
mature. The planting may be done as
soon as the soil is dry enough to culti-
vate. or when the oak trees begin to
show their new leaves.
A warm. well-drained location, free
from marshy conditions, should be Sc
lected. The son should be plowed or

rows should he about three feet apart.

KEEPING FEW PIGS ON FARM
Hogs Furnish Good Variety Of Meat
and Also Lard for Family Use
Feed Cost Small.

Nearly two-thirds of the meat eaten
on the American farm is pork, the
average farm consumption of pork he
ing over 500 pounds per family. The
greater portion of the pork products
used by the farmers are produced on
the home farm. A small number of
pigs can be raised cheaply. Kitchen
and garden wastes, and sometimes
dairy by-products. are available for
feed. The farmer usually kills the
hogs and dresses them on his own
place. The hogs furnish good vari.

string and two small wooden stakes,
are the chief essentials. There are a
number of other tools. such as n trow-
el, sprlnkling can, wheel hoe, seed drill
and wheelbarrow, that may often be
used to advantage, but they are not
absolutely necessary.
1t is important. however, that the
few essential tools be properly cared
for and used frequently. Every time
they are used they should be cleaned
and stored in dry place. Also they
should be kept so sharp that the work
may be done easily and thoroughly. A
god job of hoeing cannot be done with
a dull or rusty hoe.

from the house small, low, fiat tool
box, long enough to accommodate the
hoe and rake, should be provided. The
top of this box may be covered with a

provided for safety. The loss of one
good tool will more than Offset the cost

1t Is mistake to pasture alfalfa
seed fields which have become too Sc

a crop worth harvesting. Live stock
walking through ripe alfalfa causes
the seeds to be shelled out. and those

at Danzig-which implies d complete
trust in the visitor, only possible be-

and principles, and which between
two monarchs means united work in
the common cause of preserving the

that the secret plans of my newest

were handed over to you and to the
discretion of your naval authorities.
To these facts add that we both have
the same interest in the development
of our navies, that the passion for
the sea is Unborn to us, that will
suffice to show that we must look
at our two navies as one great organ
