The fenced farm is the only one on
which live stock can be kept and the
rotation of crops followed , and as this
method of farming is the only profit
able one in the long run , it follows
, that the farm must bo fenced to be
handled properly.

Selecting Brood Sow * .
Few things are mure displeasing to 51
practical farmer than to see a lot ol
heterogeneous pigs following an olc"
scrub sow. They are very unsatisfac
tory to the feed lot and unprofitable
to the farmer. There is no excuse foi
keeping scrub sows. The brood so\\
should be large , roomy and stand wel
on her toes. Her shoulders should be
smooth and deep , back wide and slight
ly arched. There should be ample roon
for heart and lungs provided by a large
and deep chest , well sprung ribs am
straight , deep sides ; a deep , rooim
body from enel to end. A good deptl
of chest and abdomen are especially im
portant in a sow.
If possible , the sow shoulel be select
ed from a large litter , tliiv being apt te
insure fecundity. Each sow shoujc
h.uve at reast twelve well developed
teats , thus providing proper room and
nourishment f.or large litters of pigs.

lireufcinis " Cow to Milk.
If you are goiutf to break a young
cow , tke first thing you have to do is
to keep cool. Many kicking CCUYS are
made bud by bad breaking and bad tem
per. It Is a good idea to tie the new
cow up the first few days and give her
the very best treatment , so she has won
your confidence. Before you are going
to milk be sure to haveyourfinger nails
trimmed as close as possible. Do not
rush milking at once , but start gently.
When you are through milking pet her
and give her something to eat during
the time of milking. I have done milk
ing for fourteen years at home , on the
farm of my parents , and know whereof
I speak. Paul Kantin Agricultural

Some of Ibe achievements of that re
markable horticulturist , Mr. Luther
P.urbank , in Southern California , seem
to have been rivaled U England by a
Lancashire farmer. It is said thai , on
Garton's seeel grown near Warrington
a .single oat plant surpasses by several
hundreel cereals any plant ever grown
in the worlel. It is the product of twen-
{ y--even ; years' practice of a process
called "accelerated evolution , * ' and has
been obtained by crossing a highly de
veloped oat with certain varieties of
wild oats v.'hioli have an. incalculable
capacity for generating seeds.
P.y these means the Lancashire fann
er obtains a yield of ll'O bushels an
acre , something over twice what is con
sidered u good yield in other parts of
the country. So practical has the pro
cess been iounel that in thirty years the
yield of some crops has been completely
doubled , and It may reasonably be ex
pected that a similar increase will take
place within the next thirty years.
I'm n tut ; Shrjilis.
Many people think all shroubs should
be pruned annually. This 5 quite a
mistake. Most varieties should be
pruned only when the growth Is weaker
or twiggy , anel certain others only ue d
the removal of olel anel barren wood.
The looser and more graceful are tlu
forjns the more attractive are the
shrubs.
Remember especially that the early
flowering shrubs , such as weigela , deut-
zin , vristaria , snowball , forsythla , flow
ering almond , lilac , which bloom on the
wood , of the season beforeshould never
be pruned in the spring. The best time
to do this is after flowering before the
growth is started , otherwise the flower
buds will be cut off.
Avoid heavy cutting back at any
time. A little each yea will suffice ao n
time. A little each year will suffice as a
when pruning and cut so as to give easy
flowing vines , trying to keep the
branches well down to the ground.
Old and twisted stems and stunte : ?
growth should be thinned out , but do
not cut away many of the healthy
shoots , Branches either large or small
should be cut back quite close to a jointer
or stem , while twigs should be cut close
to an eye or joint.
Pruning is best done with a stout ,
sharp pocket knife or with medium-
sized pruning shears. Do not use hedge
shears on tne flowering shrubs , as tne
regular lines we admire on the privet
are anything l > ut beautiful on the lilac
or snowball.
Trim always to keep the bushes "so
the lower branches are not bare and
the heads are masses of bloom. Should
the shrubs grow crowded in the bed ,
remove some of them to other spots in
the garden.
Dlsen.so in Pouliry.
Oregon Agricultural and Experiment
Station writes as follows : "The success
of poultry raising depends Inrgely upon
the ability of those engaged in this
industry to keep their fowls free from
contagious and infectious diseases.
"More failures are due to these dis
eases than any other pause.
"It has been said that 'Fowls are
machines which consume certain kinds
of raw material and produce eggs and
meat' : but in order to bring about this
transformation with any degree of suc
cess they should be kept in a good ,
healthy condition.
"One of the most fatal diseases in
fowls , especially in young chickens , is
infectious lukamia. The first symptom
of this trouble isAa rise in the tempera
ture , which is followed by drowsiness
and. debility , with paleness of the mu
cous membranes , also of the comb , wat
tles and skin about file head ; the fever
is continuous , generally resulting In
death after four or five days. In some
cases the disease is of longer duration
and two or. three weeks may elapse
before the death of the bird , in which
case there is excessive emaciation.
This disease is infectious and is caused
by a micro-organism called bacterium
sangulnarium.
"It is sometimes difficult for the poul
try raiser to determine the disease af
fecting his fowls , not having the ap
pliances necessary for this work ; there
fore , if there be any doubt as to the
nature of disease in poultry , it would
I > e v/ell to forward a specimen , in the
last stage of disease , to the bacteriolo
gical laboratory of the Oregon Agricul
tural College fur diagnosis. This work
will be done free of charge , and , iu
all cases possible , n remedy given. " .

The lot of the Ceylon pearl diver is
not an easy one. Stones are suspended
on a running rope over au outrigger
projected from the boat's side in such
a convenient position as to allow the
diver to place one foot within a loop
affixed to the stone. The diver , having
placed himself with one foot on the
stone , with a net around his neck t. >
hold oysters , draws iu his breath ,
closes the nostrils with one hand and
raises his body to give force to tht-
descent. The manduck ( or diver's at
