Jamison tells his way of feeding them, in the Country Gentleman, which is as follows: I have always thought it a wasteful way of feeding to throw them cut by the wagon-load at a time, and would not feed them that way if I had more than I could u?e in any way. We send our spring pigs to market in the fall as earlj as we can have them ready. Last fall before breakfast we gave the hoes a feed of pumpkins, what we thought they would nearly clean up before leaving them. After breakfast the corn, gauging that so it would he all eaten before feeding time in the evening. The afternoon or evening was given in the same way. The hogs were fed in the pasture field adjoin ing tne corn field, the corn and pump kins placed in piles along the fence, and the feeding changed about from one pile to another to keep the feed ing grounds from becoming SIthy. We grow the sweet variety, and find them so solid that they will not always break by throwing them over a .-take. To make the labor lighter we cut them open with a corn knife before throwing over the fence. Tids is much easier thau raising them as high as we can two or three times and dropping or throwing them to get them broken upon. When a wagon load is thrown out at a time, pigs eat seeds first, rolling many of the pump kins about till they become so filthy that they will not eat them till hunger impels them to. 1 admit that the pig always does better with a sharp ap petite, but he should have clean, fresh food. About as filthy a ration as 1 ever yaw put before a hog was pump kins in greater quantities than they would consume daily. A cross is the product of two varie ties of the same species, such as the Holstein and Jersey. A hybrid is the product of two different species, like the horse anil jack, which produces a mule or ninny. Some species will not produce when crossed. For instance, the jiollen of the apple applied to the stigma of a ear will not produce re sults. The same may be said of the .squash and the Held pumpkin. Pre potency in animals and plants is the capacity of transmitting the character istics to the offspring or product. When an animal has a long, unbroken line of breeding it i generally strong in prepotency. Prepotency is great in wheat, corn, cotton, etc.. because when we plant any of these we get almost exactly the same kind. If we plsnt apple seeds we may get some thing very different from what we planted. It will be an apple, but its prepotency if, not great enough to re produce its variety. WAYSIDE NOTES. Fright affects the milk supply, and if humane considerations do not influ ence the dairyman, that of financial gain will. One who has the milk of human kindness in his heart can raise a good cow with mighty little skim milk. One who lacks it can not raise a good one with all the milk ever known. Only those who persevere to the end will make si success of dairying. He who says "luck" is against him when disaster befalls had better engage in some other business. He should make nick' come hi, way. instead of wait ing for it. There is no royal read to success, no easy gliding down the stream of life; but hard, rough roads must be trod upwards toward the goal of our hopes the pure air of the mountain top where success brings rest and re freshment. lrofessor Haecker. the dairy expert of the Alinnesota station, says that "too much has been said about bal anced rations and too little about kindness and regularity: too mucn about dairy bred cows and too little about dairy bred men." In the East they are manufacturing two forms of products from milk "milcora." which is whole milk re duced to powder, and "creamra. ' or dry cream. Either of these prepara tions may be restored to liquid form by adding water to them. It is claimed that this dry milk and cream can be used with perfect success in place of fresh milk and cream. Lucerne was for many years consid ered the only crop for plowing under to enrich the soil, but there are other plants now used. The only objection to lucerne is that it requires two or three seasons to get a good stand and then there is difficulty In killing it out. Cow peas, soy beans and vetch are leguminous plants, rich in nitro gen, that make a fine growth the first season, and when turned under they add both humus and nitrogen to the soil. RURAL PHILOSOPHY. Opportunities are often hand-made. The small tree often bears the best fruit. No job is impossible to a willing worker. It is too late to spare when the granary is bare. If you want to get at the kernel, first crack the shell. If all work was as easy as lying, everybody would keep busy. It's a prudent farmer who is not a prodigal after a rich harvest. The best time to read a note or mortgage is before you sign it. It's the thrifty farmer who drives his work and is not driven by it. The narrow-minded and most igno rant is generally the most positive The man who thinks every other man is a liar is most generally a liar himself. It's a crackin' good band that sticks to his work like a pig to a rough fence in flea time. In searching for knowledge a roan frequently finds out something he 1 didn't care to know. SHEEP AS IMPROVERS OF PAS TURE. The extent to which sheep may be utilized as improvers of pasture land is not well understood in many por tions ot the Alississippi basin. They improve pastures on arable farms, un less when the grazing is closer than it ought to be. They improve these not only by destroying many forms rf noxious weed life that would other wise grow, but where they are grazed the grasses will also thicken and pro dnco more food, and this result will follow even in the absence of the ap plication of other fertilizers to the land. An iilu-.ration cl the beneficial results that occur from thus pastur ing sheep on land is found in a recent experiment at the agricultural experi ment station at Brookings. S. D. The pasture land on the station farm, which had ben grazed in 1890 almost exclusively by cattle and horses, had so far failed that, espe cially on the higher portions, it had become badly infested with weeds. In 189'J a large flock of sheep were grazed upon these pastures; also in 190ft. 1901 and 1902. Some cattle or horses were also grazed at the same time. Prof. Chilcott. in speaking of the results, says: "The weeds have nearly been exterminated and the grass is much thicker and better." If the value of sheep on our western farms as weed destroyers were better known, and if there were more fences upon the farms, they would not be covered with weeds to anything like the same extent as they are at the present time. The cattle breeders may keep on splitting hairs as to the fine points of superiority in the various dairy breeds, but what ihe Western dairy farmer should do is to get some good cows of any one of the dairy breeds and then use a pure-bred bull of the same breed. Milch cows are like bind ers and mowing machines each has its "talking" points. Who ever saw an "expert" for any particular mower that could not convince an ordinary farmer that all other mowers were tit only for scrap iron. Still good men are doing good work with various kinds of mowers. So it is with cows. As much depends upon the man as upon the cow. We are frequently amused, yet sometimes exasperated, at reading the editorials in a certain Western agrf cultural paper that comes to our desk. The editor of that journal seems to cling to the old idea that the farmers should be commiserated for the hard ships and oppressions that are thrust upon them. He is constantly telling his farmer readers that they are ground down and are simply slaves to the capitalist. At the same time the paper in question circulates in one cf the most prosperous agricultural states in this union, where sugar beets, potatoes, lucerne, fruit and sheep-feeding are mnki the farmers rich and where prices for all farm products ! are the very highest. It is too bad when an editor gets a hobby and can not get off it. THE HOG HOUSE. Alany farmers do not have a suit able hog house because they think they cannot afford it. A very good and serviceable one can be built that will not cost much, and at the same time will give good satisfaction. The plan is as follows: Hulld it sixteen feet wide; the length will depend upon the number of hogs kept, or the number of sows to farrow on the farm. The building should run east and west and along the north side a passageway, three and a half feet wide, should run the whole length of the building, thus leaving all the pens on the south side. It should be so constructed that mov able partitions can be dropped into place every seven feet, making a breeding pen 7x12 feet, which will be large enough for a sow. There should bo a window ineach pen. and below the window a door, which should open into a little lot cr space into which the sow and pigs can run on sunny days. When not being used as breed ing pens, the partitions can be re moved and it will make a sleeping house for the shoats or fat hogs. The troughs should be placed directly un der the partition adjoining the pass ageway, and the partitions over them should be so constructed that they will swing from the top. so that when putting the feed in the troughs the pigs can be shut off. Such a hog house is not expensive, and it will soon pay for itself in caring for and saving the pigs. Agriculture is more and more being esteemed as a desirable occupation for a great many millions of our people. Never before in the history of the world has so much attention been giv en by governments anil states to this gigantic industry, in the past agri culture has been solely a business: now it is assuming the importance of a profession. Just as soon as thought and study and education are given to any line of work, that work takes on a new dignity and a new meaning. SAVING SEED CORN. This advice is given by the depart ment of agriculture: Pick out only thoroughly matured cars. or. if none can -be found that are thoroughly ma tured, take the ripest to be had. Husk and put in a dry. well-veDtilated place kept at temperature of from 75 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and let them re main there until the seed is thorough ly dried and cured. After it has been dried it should be stored where it will remain reasonably dry end cool. It is only when the seed contains a large percentage of moisture that the germination is injured by freezing. Farm roads sometimes require patch ing in the autumn. The aim should be. however, to do this work at some other season of the year. When sott dirt is put upon roads in autumn and rain falls upon it. it becomes much softer. When a hole has been filled up at that season, it is apt to remain soft until the ground freezes up on the ap proach of winter. Eery care should be taken to mend roads in the early part of the season, rather than later. ROTATION AND SOIL FERTILITY. Only during recent years farmers are coming to more fully realize that systematic rotation secures the main tenance of fertility with increase in the production of crops. AH plants do not equally draw the elements of plant food from the soil. Their roots are sent to different depths in the soil and have a different solvent action upon the constituents they reach. Ro tation tends to disperse insects, and fungous diseases are reduced material ly. Weeds are more readily eliminat ed, the soil is maintained in good tilth, the humus compounds of the soil are increased and the work of the farm generally is more easily and naturally distributed. Schemes of rotation should have the growing of at least one leguminous crop. By this means large supplies of nitrogenous food are secured from the air. Potash and phosphoric acid, if lacking in available forms, must be supplied by manure or fertilizer, un less caustic lime is used to break down these latent minerals and con vert them into soluble plant food. Stock raising, dairying and poultry keeping are profitable lines to carry on in the scheme for improving the fertility of soils. No one system of rotation can be successfully applied to all conditions of soil, climate and mar kets. - We have often heard it said that the poultry business was for old women to fool with, and not really a business that was worthy cf any thought or .study. Just think a moment and the absurdity of this statement becomes apparent. If it were not that the poul try business were such a grand suc cess, and is paying so, the incubator business would not be anything. But the incubator business is becoming one of the trreat industries of this country simply because it is based upon the pcnltry business, which gives it a strong foundation. FERTILITY. While a fertile brain is necessary on the farm, a fertile soil is just as necessary where great success is at tained. The past wet season, while it has brought disappointment to many, has been one that his given us many useful lessons. Among these are the benefits derived from good drain age and plenty of available plant food. While many are complaining of corn stalks without ears, and unripe corn, and rctten potatoes, etc.. in every neighborhood nearly, some fields could be pointed to where the conditions ol drainage and fertility were complied with, where a good crop was har vested. With good, strong, clean seed and a j,ood, well-drained, ricli seed-bed crops will withstand unfavorable weather and give their owners soou returns in spite of hindrances. The well-drained soils made it pos sible for the owner to get. the crop in on time, while the available plant food that the ":! furnished by either an application of barnyard manure or the turning under ot a crop of clover, or" both, so forced the plants to the front that they triumphed over all the diffi culties brought on by a cold, wet sea son. It is quite an item to commence feeding pigs early, in order to have them well accustomed to eating before cold weather sets in. When the sows are fed on slops in a sunny trough, pigs will often commence eating when three weeks old. and with a little care to supply them with mill feed worked into a slop with sweet milk, they can be kept growing steadily and may be weaned without any check in growth. RYE FOR THE POULTRY. Do not fail to sow a plot of rye this fall. Hve provides green food after grass is gone, and it also begins to grow early in the spring before any other crops start, unless crimson clo ver is used, which also begins to grow very early. Rye serves as a cover crop to ths land and prevents wash ing of the soil by rains. It grows with perhaps as little labor as any crop known. The winter is an excellent time for keeping pcnltry. as all other work (except dairying) will be somewhat out of the way. A large flock will give employment to some on the farm who may otherwise be idle, hence the fowls will really not entail an extra expense for labor. Anything that will enable the farmer to utilize his labor in wlntpr to advantage should receive his consideration and poultry should not be overlooked. Eggs sell for cash and are always in demand. Hens that do not lay may be induced to give a profit if given care and attention. Alany flocks do not pay In winter be cause they are not given as much con sideration as is usually bestowed upon large stock. Let the pure food laws be upheld and enforced. If a man can not make a living by supplying pure milk, but ter and cheese, let him get out of the dairy business. SUBSTITUTES FOR PLOWING. When preparing land for seeding to grass or clover, it is often best to plan not to have a plowing necessary. As we know, the plow makes the soil loose, robs it of moisture and brings material to the surface that is not as friendly to the tiny roots of young grass and clover as Is the surface soil that has bean exposed to the air and sun and had its organic material rotted. The disk or some other har row would often fit land for seeding better than the breaking plow. It leaves the soil solid except at the surface, moisture is held, and the surface can be made fine and com pact. Alany a failure to get a sod is due to an effort to do honest work with a plow when no plowing should be done; When, where and how to plow are questions to be answered by the individual farmer who grasps the principles that underlie and studies all the effects of tillage. The bees gather wax and honey; the avaricious man asks that they should also prepare his mead. CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. When the Bsk Aches and Bladder Troubles Set in, Grst at the Cause.

Food to rebuild the strength and that is predigested must be selected when one is convalescent. At this time there Is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this food is all nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weal: I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much hovel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicious as could be, but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight In gold." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Allch. Typhoid fever, like some other dis eases, attcks tbe bowels and frequent ly sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starches and therefore predigested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starches have been transformed Into grape sugar. This means that the first stage of digestion has been me chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts food at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak tbe stom ach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there.
