I'oor condition In itgcd homes an a
renult of h bud condition of the teeth
In a common thing. fc-cnttlonnlly the
same thing In rcnoiisihli for unthrifty
condition In a growing hog. 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

larger than this the cheapest cuius
were made on soaked shelled corn.

milk in dusty pluces. Cleuu up. disin

OWINQ ALFALFA IN PRINQ.
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. The results will be noted
with a good deal of Intercut uot only
by stock raisers, but by many others
wb,o are interested in the future pros
perity of the country.
GROWING SWEET PEAS.
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.
BEEF SHORTAGE FIGURES.
The seriousness of the situation In
regard to the shortage of beef is ap
preciated not only la the advauclng
prices for cuts of meat ou the local
market, but in figures which have been
compiled oil the beef Industry of the
country. The per capita consumption
of tueut has dropped from lt2 pounds
In 1001) to 152 H(fiids in 1913. or ten
pounds lu four years. In the past six
years, from 1!W7 to 1913, tho uuinber
of beef cattle in tho country has drop
ped from 51,5'jd.OOO head to 30,030,000
head, llhsed ou figures gathered In
plants where there Is federal Inspec
tion, there has been a falling off lu
the number of animals killed of 1,419,-

In San Quentln for the killing of At

which the argument for this trial is

conduct of the trial he was guilty of
misconduct. He is charged with be
