Experiments show that, contrary to expectation, a black hog, such as the Essex and Berkshire, thrives best in the South, while the white breeds, such as the Chester Wbite, Yorkshire and Cheshire thrive best in the North.

Raspberries will thrive on almost any well drained soil of moderate riebness, but wet land is always iujur ious and often fatal to them. Harrow smooth and fine and plaut deep.

For ihe first season give clean culture, and, f desirable, other crops may be grown among them without injury. — Prof. A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural College, Bays his plan\is to'keep only large, fine mares to do his work on the farm. Those that are halt percheron will do, though those of three-quarter or seven-eighths blood will be better. These high-grade percheron are fine walkers, and to break them it isonly necessary to hitch them in at three years of age and go to working them. The fall colts are valuable, and can be raised at a profit. He says he is delighted with his plan. It is the verdict everywhere that creameries stimulate farmers to keep mori and better cows. Mr. J H. Hale rays that where .creameries have been located many of the brush pastures have been cleared up within the past few years, and he notices that metre of this work is going on this season than ever before. He is often shown farms that before the days of creameries kept from three to five cows that arc now keeping from eight to twenty. Feeding whole corn to horses is not wise. Whole corn is exceedingly hard to digest, for obvious reasons One difficulty is that tho horse does not masticate it sufficienty. To ob tain good results thorough mastication should always be aimed at, for that is the beginning of digestion. As is well understood the saliva is one of „the di gestive fluids, and when food i.s-swal lowed whole or partially whole,’irgoes" into the stomach with too little of the Baliva. It may do that, too, if fed in the shape of dry meal or when the food is cut. /There is no better way of feeding the horse than to cut the hay and mix the meal with it Food in that shape will come the nearest to se curing perfect mastication and will furnish the stomach with the very best Opportunity to do its work. Half corn-meal and half oats, mixed with cut hay and wet down, make a good ration. There had better ba less corn meal than more. Now is the time to get rid of the poorer animals. It will not pay to winter them, as better animals will give lsfger returns for shelter, care and feed. is not eeonofiiy to keep a poor animal through any season, but it is most extravagant to keep it through the winter. It is the height of folly in stock-raising to sell the best and keep the worst. True, the best bring the largest prices, but if you sell the best and keep the worst soon your best will be no better than your worst is now, and your worst will be such that the more you have the poorer you will be. You, by this plan, constantly make your animals poorer, and as the stock-raiser makes his animals poorer he makes himself poorer. If he keeps up the process bankruptcy is as sure as fate. The opposite policy is the winning policy. A prominent woman lawyer of Ohio is Miss Florence Cronise, of Tiffin.
