The writ er remembers the rune of two hogn thnt were of the same age and ate out of the some trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When comment was substituted for Hhelled corn the runt began to pick up Immediately. The natural Inference from this wan that itn teeth were out of whack. Scores of young orchards are going to Hit every year Ixs-uuse the owners think they ciui work the tracts us a calf pasture projiosltloii before the trees get to n bearing age. The two things don't go together, and if the calves ure to hnve the light of way It would be Initer to ipilt monkeying with the trees and take a grub hoc and digtheiu out. If. on the other hand, they ure counted on to his'omc something be yond sticks for the calves to scratch their backs on the bovluen would bet ter he pastured elnewhere. The old, old law of growth, "To tlieiu that hath shall lie given." holds just as truly In the feed lot and hog en aa It does among trees In the forest, among men In business or In the ease of tho Individual In tho building up of physical, me n tul and moral forces. Itecuuse of this fact precautions should lie taken to see thnt the weaklings have a place where they can get the fed they need' unmolested by older and stronger iiuimnln. UulesR such aid Is given one might just about aa well knock such runts on the head. The first step that should bo follow ed in restoring the fertility of a run down farm should lie to Increase tbo numlier of animals kept ou the place. Cattle, sheep and hogs ure better than none, but the dairy cow In the best fertility restorer of the lot. Kvery ef fort should be made to increase the inauurlal product of the farm. Anoth er aid In to grow the clovers ns green manures. After thin a crop should be raised which will require clean culti vation nnd dispose of tho weeds. Clo ver should be sowed again and plowed under or may be used as a meadow for one season and then plowed under with n cultivated crop following. As tho sot! becomes richer the clover crop will not have to be produced so often. Hog feeding experiments which have been curried on by the Iowa experi ment station diiriugNhc past six ycar.s seem to prove conclusively that an u general rule tile time spent lu grind ing corn for hogn Is worse than wast ed. From weniiln:.' time until late In the fall lots (if spring pigs ou pasture were fed rations of dry ear corn, soak ed (shelled) corn, dry cornmeaf and soiiked cornmcal. Tho amount of feed required for KM) pounds of gain lu tho different lots was as follows Dry ear com, -110 pounds; soaked shelled com, 4 (IS piwinils: dry cornmcal, 54U pounds; soaked corn men I. ,VJi) pounds, lu mak ing rapid gain the dry ear cord was also the nioxt economical with the pigs np to i.'iMj pounds lu weight.

' Causes of Stringy Milk. Usually the cow is uot to blame for stringy milk, the trouble being due to bacteria (bacillus mucosusi In the milk Utensils. Sometimes this in traceable to contaminated washing water or to coiitumlnuted stables or setting the milk in dusty pluces. Cleuu up. disin fect and whitewash the stables. See that the water Is pure. Perfectly scrub, cleanse and sun dry the milk utensils and set milk In a clean place whore there Is a current of fresh air. When the milk comes from the udder in stringy condition garget in present and probably has como from bacteria lu feeling the udder. Isolate such u cow and in I Ik. her three times a day. Do uot let the milk get ou to the stall floors.

The question of whothe to make the start with the Vnt' h of arfalfa In spring or late summer Is likely to de pend upon the moisture conditions, which are roost likely to prevail im mediately following seeding. Where conditions seem to warrant the spring owing the seed should be sowed a soon as the soil can be put lu good condition after the frost is out of the ground. If tho soli Is not In a good condition of fertility It should be well manured aud then plowed to a medium depth. It should then be harrowed! ao us to make a One aud mellow seed bed. While It Is not absolutely necessary, It aids In getting a stand of alfalfa If the Held Is Inoculated with soli from an established alfalfa field or a spot where sweet clover has growu. Such soil may be scattered thinly from a manure spreader or mixed lu a couple of layer with the manure ' While tho practice of sowing u nurse crop Is commonly followed with red clover. It Is best not to do so with alfalfa, as the rupldly growing grain smothers the young al falfa plants which have little or no chance If dry weather comes Immedi ately following the harvest of the grain. The piece of ground to be used should be well drained, should be sweetened witb'lline. If it Is Inclined to be sour, and should be as free as pos sible from weed needs. The alfalfa seed should be drilled lu to a depth of about nn Inch and a half and at the rute of from fifteen to twenty pounds per acre. Where the August sowing Is preferred (nnd it lx in many sections) the ground selected for It should lie sown with un early maturing small grain crop, and as soon as this Is oft the ground the tract should be plowed and disked at frequent Intervals until about the middle of August If the soli is not rich the manuring should be given as in the esse of the spring sow lug, also the same luociilntlou and method of seeding. Where fields of alfalfa In tlielr second yenr will yield five tons of the finest bay per year In even northern sections, the question of getting a start with the crop Is one thnt should Interest a good many more farmers. It Is usually best to start with a few acres and get familiar with Its culture. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. Farmers who are Interested In rais ing dual purpose cattle which will not only make a creditable showing in milk return, but on the block ns beef, will lie luterestinl In nn experiment which Is lielng conducted at North Oaks. Minn., through the co-operation of Jnmes J. Hill, president of the Ureat .Northern railway. und Professor Thomas Shaw, the well known live stock authority I.nt year Mr. Hill purchased in Kiiglund some of the most Mrlect representatives of the dual piirMjse milking Shorthorn. The Importation lucludiw twenty -three head of cows, ranging In age from two to six years, nnd three bulls. The cows have milk records running front 6.0(0 to 10.000 pounds each yearly, while the bulls have been noted prize win ners in Kngllnh shows. With many others who sense the meaning of a de creasing beef supply and also that dai rying Is the let means by which soil fertility may be maintained. Mr. Hill Is financing the above experiment for the purpose of solving the twofold problem.

Sweet neas have us felw insect ene mies us any of the common garden j flowers and from the standiniint of both beauty of bloom and fragrance give a woiiderfully large return for the pulnn taken lu raising them. Tne small amount extra needed to purchase the very best quality of seed is return ed many fold In the larger and hand somer blossoms. The seed should be soaked In tepid water for about twenty-four hours before being planted. The soil for the row should be rich and mellow aud located where nearby sod will not absorb the moisture need ed for the peus when the drier weather cornea ou. The seed should be planted at the bottom of a trench five or alx Inches deep and covered with a couple of Inches of mellow soil. As soon as they have come through thin and have' made a growth of a couple of Inches the rest of the soil should be added to fill the trench. Sweet Has will make the bent growth and give the best re sults if tbey are kept free from weeds and given frequent hoeing. The trellis ou which the peus are to grow should bo put in place early so that they will i bare something to cling to as soon as j the tendrils begin to reach for a sup- i porf.
