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 be-
ing over 800 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-
ETY. of meat and also lard.

Garden tools, including the ess entail
implements and a few others.

string and two small wooden stakes,
are the chief essentials. There are a
number of other tools, such as trow-
ell, sprinkllng 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
q dull or rusty hoe.
If the garden Is located at distance
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
piece of roofing paper to make it wa
terproof, and q small lock should be
provided for safety. The loss of one
good tool will more than Offset the cost
Of toOlbOx of this character.

Trunk Lines in Air

Long distance air transportation
will soon be a commonplace. The
successful trip from London to Aus
tralia recently completed has encour-
aged Great Britain to lay out num-
Der of great air routes, connecting
England by great trunk lines with
its possessions. The service will be
maintained at first by air ships and
later doubtless by airplanes. The first
of these trunk lines will connect Lon
don with Canada by way of Newfound-
land. Another line will run from
England to India; this will later be
extended to Australia. Still another
line will operate between London and
Egypt and will be extended to Aus
tralia. Still another will operate be-
tween London and Egypt and will be
extended to South Africa. The air
lines win be backed by large govern
ment subsidies Boys Life for April.

of the acreage reported and the
average yield per acre for the four
year period 1916-1919), compared with
that for 1919, is about IS per cent
less for sweet corn and English tur-
nip; so per cent less for dwarf snap
beans, celery, parsnip, and squash; go
per cent less for garden and mangrel
beet, carrot, onion seed end spinach;
while an increase is indicated of 20
per cent for sugar beet and garden
peas and so per cent for onion sets.
The estimated acreage and pros
pective production for 1920 are more
comparable with those for 1917, and
the reduction in acreage and pro-
duction as noted should not be taken
as an indication that the vegetable
seed growing Industry in this country
is on the decline from that of pre-
war years.

Film Star Got a
Desired Quietude

This may be true or not. Anyway,
here's the story as told by Beulah
Livingstone, one of those active per-
sons whose efforts are spent in the
spreading of news of various movie
stars.
Norma Talmadge, the star, had just
come back from a six weeks vacation,
it seems, three weeks in Cuba and
three weeks at the Royal Poinciana at
Palm Beach, and she went to the st.
Regis Hotel, New York, until she
might find suitable apartment. Hav-
ing grown accustomed to the peace
and quiet of the balmy South, Norma
found the noise of trucks, taxis, trolley
cars and buses so disturbing that she
couldn't sleep.
To add to her discomfort, a tall
pendulum clock licked noisily near
her bed. In desperation, Miss Tai
madge seized pair of desk shears, cut

How Great Success Came to One Master
Who Paid No Heed to Rules or Critics

Personality and that strange quality
known as genius are unquestionably
the prime requisites for success in the
world. With personality one does not
need to pay too strict attention to the
hard and fast rules laid down for less
gifted strugglers along the way.
When Ole Bull came to this country
his critics said the violated all the
laws of music, that he never could be

were other violinists here who far ex-
celled him
While it may be true that Ole Bull
violated the standard musical laws,
yet he pleased the people. He held
them entranced, while his critics, who
thought they knew so much about
musical lore in comparison, could not
hold them at all. A remarkable per.
sonality was revealed in this man
with a marvellous passion for music,
great love for his violin, which he
seemed to caress with great fondness
every time he drew his bow. This won
the enthusiasm and admiration of
crowds wherever he went.

Seed Acreage for 1920

The prospective CONNIE -cial acreage
of vegetable seed crops tor 1920, com
pared with last year, shows marked
reductions in the acreage reported for
dwarf snap beans, all beet, carrot, let

den pole beans, cucumber. muskmelon,

These estimtas are based on re-
ports received by the Bureau of Mar

Influence of the Tractor on Use of
the Horse Shown by Investigation
The Old Gray Mare Still Holding Her Own and is Not
Likely to be Displaced

The number of horses displaced by
tractors in the corn belt is largely
determined by the number it is neces-
sary to keep for corn cultivation, and
other work current at the same time
which the tractor cannot do. This is
perhaps, the most important of the
facts brought out by an investigation
recently made by the United States
Department of Agriculture in seven
corn-belt States, relative to the influ-
ence of tractors on the use of horses,
the results of which have been pub
lished in Farmers Bulletin 1898.
The department has drawn on the
experience of 191 tractor owners, in
the preparation of this bulletin, which
is designed to enable the corn-belt
farmer to answer for himself the fol-
lowing questions:
For what operations can l use the
tractor?
In what operations will it displace
horses in whole or in part?
How many horses will it displace
on my farm?
1t was found that the number of

horses disposed of by the farmers in
question after buying tractors was
between two and three farm. The
average number of acres tillable by
horses was increased IL, and the
average size of the farms by total
of % acres. Several operators dis
placed horses entirely on blowing,
disking, and narrowing. Few oper-
ators allowed their horses to stand
idle while the tractor was in use.
The horses remaining on these
farms are doing rs per cent of the
tractive work, and the tractor the re-
mainder
The tractors were used for an aver
age 20 10-hour days a year on the
home farms, no records being taken
of custom work. A three-plow tractor
on these farms does the work of IL
horses in blowing, disking, narrowing
and harvesting.
The results of this study further
substantiate the conclusion that the
principal advantage of a tractor lies
in it's ability to do heavy work in q
shorter time than it is possible with
horses.

lSte OF Pure Bred Bull Calves Should
Be Eliminated for the Good of the Herd
is Estimated that Five Grades of Scrub Bulls in Use
for Every Pure Bred Bull

Nature has her own percentages and
rules which are as infallible, in the
long run, as the dealers margin at a
Monte Carlo gambling resort. Av-
cording to this inflexible law of aver
ages, there are about as many bull
calves born each year as there are
heifer calves.
Every good dairyman knows the
value of pure-bred sire of good rec
ord, and what such an animal may
accomplish in the way Of improving
grade of scrub herd. Despite their
acknowledged value, it appears that
$4,000 pure-bred bull calves of dairy
breeds were killed for veal or were
fattened for beef in 1913
The line representing pure-bred Hol-
stein Freisian cows registered in 1918
runs out to $4,000. The line for the
bulls of this breed registered during
the same year extends only to 10000.
The difference, $4,000, represents the
approximate number of bull calves

lost on the browns. They refused to

Now is the time to eat greens while
they are green, tender and juicy.
1t is most desirable change from
the very solid and substantial feed
ing the winter months.
Among the cultivated or garden
plants that are used for greens, spin
ach is perhaps the most popular. 1t

all winter and is still more abundant
and lower in price in the spring. A
small patch in the garden will pro.
vide several meals for the family if
only the large leaves are taken at
each cutting, leaving the bud to grow
and produce more leaves.

not registered. Presumably most If
them were either vealed or fattened
as steers.
The Jersey breed in 1918 registered
10000 COWS and about 10000 BULLS
loss of $4,000 pure-bred sires, many of
which might be more profitably en-
ployed in the work of improving scrub
herds. o.
Gurnsey and Ayershirc totals are
less, but the percentage of loss is
heavy there also.
In the face of this waste it is esti-
mated that five grade of scrub bulls
are in use for every pure-bred bull.
According to experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture the
replacement of scrub and grade bulls
with good pure-breds would quickly
and materially raise the average pro-
duction of the dairy herds. One of the
reasons for the surprising situation
outlined is probably an undeveloped
system of distribution.
