The Cow and the Pig.
In some sections of the country
many mare cows arc lwpt than plgl > . I ,
evoll where hutter has to 1J0 made on
the farm. In such 11 cuse of course
the sllm mille Is ahundant and as the
lo can malw more use of It than any
olher farm animal , It should be t1ms
used. 'l'lwre Is no doulJt that every
farmer thal leceps a few cows hould
also lwep a sow and raise n.t leasl ono
Uttm' of plgR per year. A great mnn ) '
.
farmers sar lhoy do not lwop plg
for the reason thattho ' can 1eep enl } '
ono or two and many spl'lngs the crop
of pigs Is so light thal none are for
salo. It Is the lll'actico now , ns It has
I been for no one Imows how long , to
lJuy pigs In the spring. The argument
agnlnsl Iweplng u sow is that more
Illgs will be produced than the fn.rmer
I has any use for. nut as young pigs
are always In demand for eating , 'thero
is scarcel } ' a dlfI1cult ) . In this rogard.
Wo hava seen pigs soli at $3 each in
the spring' , and a litter thal numbers
. six o eight Is thereCoro prolltable.
The cow and the pig are natural allies ,
oven moro so than the steer and the
'plg. Pig raising Is almosl nn Integral
. , part of dairying. t Is evident tbat
under such conditions the pig Is
f about nil pro11t , nnd for that reason
t every farm should ralso a numbor.
1 and where they are always raised the
l numhor should bo increased.

dairyman who Is doing anytllng shorter

The Roots of Legumes.
Hecently In wnlldng through a field
In Illinois with Professor Ilop'\ns \ ,
that gentlemnn remarlwd that the
roots of leguminous plants dlCCered
vor ' grently as to their vnluo w1.len .
turned uuder , on account principally
of the dlfforences In tholr volumes.
This Is contrary to } ) opular Impres.
slon , 'fho Idea has been that all
leguminous plants had largo roots thal
supp1led a conslderablo amount of
matter to the soil when turned under.
The professor had in mind the can.
trast lJetweon the cow pea nnd red
clovel' . The roots of the red clover
contain three times ns much manurial
value as do the roots of cow peas.
Last winter wo pulJlIshod a number
of articles on the value of the cow
horn turnip for fortlllzing the soli , at
least so far as the uddlng to the soli
of vegotalJle matter Is concerned. Cow
horn turnips do nol lJelong to the
legumes. lJul It will bo oaslly under.
stood why some of our farmers thlnl (
so well of them for } ) Iowlng under
when we say thllt over forty per cent
of the manurial value In the cow horn
turnip Is In the roots ,
With mosl other plants It Is far dlf.
ferent , the gren.t b\llk of the fertl1lty
being in the tops. With alfalfa even ,
deep rooter as It Is. we 11nd the . . . .alue
of fCl'tll1ty In the roots to 1J0 only 40
pOI' cent of the whole , or therealJoute.
or course proportion wl11 differ as the
cro11s dlffCl' In volume and the Idmls
of fertl1lty in the solI. In a rough
wny wo may sa ) ' thnt nlJout 30 per
cent of the manurial value In the red
clover plant is found In tbe rootn. It
It Interesting to note tbo great dlf.
feronco In value between retl clover
and crimson clover , as to the roots. '
The latter nnmed plant hns only about
five ) )01' cenl of Its manurlnl value In
the roots. Not Imowlng this , doulJt.
less a good man ) ' men have raised
crops or cl'imson clover nnd plowed
under the reels with the Impresslo:1
that they were Increnslng the manu.
rlnl value of their land. In tho'casu
of crimson clover the whole erop will
huvo to bo plowed under if much good' '
Is to comp. from it.
In the tops are genern11y found the
greater 110rtlon of the potash and nl.
trogen. There is nn exception In the
case of rod clover in which the great.
er portion of the nitrogen Is usuu.II } '
found In the roots. ' It must bo under.
stood that the proportions of the fer ,
tlllzers found In tops nnd roats are
subjecl to very greal fluctuations ,
running In some ( 'ases as blgh as 40
per cenl.
In the main the relntlvo value or
roots for turning under are ovor-estl.

been lJulll up in some measure b ' the
occurl'enco on the roots of the nodules
that are Imown to contain nitrogen.
