PUMPKINS FOR HOGS.
Pumpkins make a most excellent
food for hogs if fed in connection with
grain. Mr. Jno. AI. 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.

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts.
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.
There's a sound reason and 10 days'
