Thora are two plans for keeping a
farm in order. The ono la to set aside
a date as an annual clearing house
event , as the housewife does , and let
thlzxgs slide the rest of the time. The
other Is to aim to keep up the llttlo
ends of things from day to day. The
hitter plan la by far the most prefer
able , as no doubt moat careful farmers
ivill agree
Stable 3Immrc.
When the manure Is exposed to the
action of the elements and the leach-
Ings allowed to drain away it rapidly
decreases In value. Experiments con
ducted to determine the facts have in
dicated that horse manure thrown Into
a loose pile and subjected to the action
of the elements will lose nearly one-
half of Its valuable fertilizing constit
uents In the course of sis months , and
that any klrul of manure , even in a
compact mass , wizen so placed that all
water falling upon It quickly runs
through and off sustains a considerable
loss , though less than the former case ,
caya a writer in American Cultivator.
Therefore , after having made all the
good stable manure practicable , protect
It in some way from fermentation and
leaching and supplement it with com
mercial fertilizers after it is applied to
lie soil.

Experiments show that as much pork
can bo made from one acre of good
pasture as from one ton of shorts or
corn. The Minnesota experiment sta
tion says that clover makes the best
hog pasture in that State , but Trof.
Waters o Missouri says that it is not
sale or even desirable to rely upon
a fiingle crop , excepting alCalfa where
it is an assured success , to furnish pas
ture far hogs throughout the season.
He re < * ommends a succession of pas
tures from the beginning of tliq , season
until the hogs are ready for market ,
making the feed richer and more con
centrated toward the close of the sea
son as wo approa < ? 3i the finishing or
fattening ipericd. FIJI- this purpose he
recommends red clover or alfalfa , cow
peas and soy beans.
It will pay the farmer wilio Is rais
ing hogs to provide a good pasture ,
even if ho is feeding thorn o-fclier feeds ,
for clovers , cow peas and soy beans
are ridh in protein and make a good
adjunct to any ration. The cheapest
gains that can be made in hog rais
ing ore < w2iere the liogs are fed skim
milk arwl allowed to run on n good
pasture of either clover or alfalfa.
Where possible to do so a pasture v.
to be prof erred to the dry lot Xor feed
ing hogs , not only in the luto/rest /
cheapened gains but also for the bet
ter health of the animals.
Sheep on
Cara should be exercised In pasturing
siieep on clover or , In fact , on any mem
ber of the legume family , for unless
judgment Is used there may be consid
erable loss from bloating. There is a
right and a wrong way of pasturing
these crops. The right way is to allow
the clover or alfalfa almost to come
Into bloom before turning In the sheep.
Then there should be sown with these
crops some timothy , redtop or any other
nonlegtunlnous plant , for where there
Is a mixture this way tha sheep will
alternately oat one and the other and
so reduce the chance of bloat.
When turning In the flock for th *
first time they should bo already filled
with food. For example , the day they
are to bo turned into the clover pasturr-
feed them early in the morning a llttlt
grain nnd hay , and when the sun is well
up and hot turn them out. Then , in
stead of filling themselves at once they
will eat a little and then look for a
col spot to rest in. Joseph E. Wing
has , he says , tried this plan with great
success. He also advises keeping before
thorn constantly a receptacle contain
ing salt and air slaked linie mixed.
Once in the pasture they should never
b moved until It comes time to change
to fresh pasture that is , they should
not be brought Into the yards at night
or they will be in danger bloating
when let out again In the morning.
Eaxtora Agrrlcultwre
In the East applied agricultural sci
ence had to battle against old customs ,
conservatism , failure , Inertia. Tiie
young blood went West Science
cauglht the conditions young and was
able to dbow results soon enough to
enlist the co-operation of all classes.
Science applied to farming was first
greated witih hoots and jeers. "Book
farming and fancy tlffics , " the country
people called It ; and the fiunny papers
waxed funnier with alleged Interviews
of the proverbial professor with the
recalcitrant cow. I could tell , If It
were not betraying confidence , of one
agricultural university which hnd Its
entire faculty , Its building , its scien
tific equipment , for four years before
a baker's dozen of students turned up
to take instruction.
Wherever science has been applied
to farms in the East high values rule ,
as In the West values oven higher
than in tilia West , for In c-Ic.se proxim
ity to the markets of the large Eastern
cities the East can go Into the special
ized farming of perishable products like
llowers and celery and potatoes and
garden truck , which the West dare not
touch on a specialized scalo. Miiine is
winning rich profits from her highly
fertilized , spoon-fed potatoes , Just aa
Iowa and Wisconsin are earning
wealth in corn. From a single acre
$900 worth of celery baa been raised
In a year , $8,000 worth of carnations ,
3150worth of potatoes , $200 worth cu
table corn ; and I personally know of
one small apple orchard that last year
yielded its owners $1,500. From sev
enteen acres of grapes one grower
clears $1,700 a year ; and there Is on
record n peach orchard of 1GO acres
which gave Its o\vner a harvest of
? 15,000. Deduct hijrh cost for hand
