jjglit Weight Hog in Favor.
It was only a very few years ago
that the average farmer strived to
”et his hogs in such a condition be
fore the time of butchery that it was
next to impossible for them to move
about, and when dressed the percent
age of fat was by far too large..
But now he has found out that the
purchasing classes are not alter this,
but are after “streak of lean and
streak of fat” pork, and choice hams
of medium size and of superior fla
vor, as the large fatty hams will not
find the number of purchasers they
formerly did,
At an institute last week I heard a
gentleman explain this change by
bating that when high prices were
maintained in beef and mutton, pork
was the only meat that was practical
ly within the reach of the laboring
classes, who are by far the largest
consumers, and so they had but little
opportunity, but this has all been
. changed, as beef, lamb and mutton
have come down on a level with pork,
which alters circumstances.
Packers now pay the highest prices
for hogs weighing between 150 and
l'o pounds, so the typical hog should
be one that will be fit to kill at about
ihat weight, and it would, no doubt,
be a great deal more profitable to kill
at that figure even if the overweight
paid more than double, pound for
pound, for the grain consumed.—

t° Urn , in th® fall, and plow it
' ,il:ace in the spring. It
will then be just where the plants
.will need it, and in the best condition
for assimilation by the roots. Do not
let the ground dry up after plowing,
but at onc° smooth off the surface of
the bed and set the plants, marking
the rows four feet wide, and putting
the plants eighteen to thirty inches
in the rows according to variety. Be
sure to get the rows straight; this
can be easily done by drawing a gar
den line sor the first row, using a
three-row marker for the rest of the
field. Before setting the plants trim
off at least half of the roots and
leaves and dip the roots into a mix
ture of water and clay—set the plants
firmly with the crown, even with the
surface of the ground. Be sure that
the roots are straight in the ground.
Begin to cultivate the ground as soon
as the surface shows the least tend
ency to dry up with a fine tooth culti
vator, and continue this at least once
a week during the growing season,
provided the ground is not wet when
you cultivate.
Be sure to remove all blossoms and
buds which appear the first year, and
keep the surplus runners pulled off if
you want a large crop of fruit the
first year. In most varieties the
plants should stand about six inches
apart, but we find that there are va
rieties which do better when the
plants are close together.
One of the most important details
about successful strawberry growing
is setting the plants early in the
spring. Plants should be dug,
shipped and set before they make
much new foliage. Root action is
stronger early in the season, and even
should the ground be dry, you will
lose a much smaller per cent, than if
planted late.—Wilfrid Wheeler, in
the American Cultivator.
Keeping Quality of Apples.
Here is a question, often asked at
fruit growers’ meetings, as answered
in part by L. W. C., in Rural New
Yorker: “Is it true that apples grown
in sod have better keeping quality
than those grown under tillage?”
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification. My own experience
indicates that the cultivated apples
are larger, lighter in color and less
firm than those grown in sod. My
sod fruit will certainly average small
er and considerably higher in color
Our only keeping test is that of put
ting all together in an ordinary cel
lar, as we sell most of our fruit early.
From this test I feel sure that the sod
apples are better keepers. In com
mercial apple culture this does not
make so much difference, as most ap
ples are put at once into cold storage
and kept there until sold.
A large number of scientific experi
ments have been conducted with va
rying results. There is a certain defi
nite time beyond which apples should
not be in storage. After this period
the sod fruit keeps best. Th
fruit manures earlier than tlu;'**
vated, and if picked at
is a little higher colorip / high
colored matured course,
keeps better than fruit, es
pecially with varieties,
like Wealthy and Fa
me use. undoubtedly
keep bettigftfnen grown on sod land
than fxjmrivora tilled land picked at
the saife time. Where the latter was
allowed to grow longer there is not
much difference. In commercial or
charding I think more depends on
other things, such as picking and
handling. No matter how the apple
is grown r bruising and rough hand
ling will hurt the fruit.
Farm Notes.
A money making combination is
the cow and the sow. Give the latter
warm skim milk.
Even if the flock of chicks has
abundant range, still clabber cheese
will be eaten greedily and is a good
growth producer.
Anew remedy for worms in sheep
and goats is to have a supply of salty
tobacco leaves (waste leaves) where
the animals can eat them.
The.horse collar which rubs up a
lap of flesh at every stride of the ani
mal will soon wear a gall on his neck.
So will a dirty collar in warm weath
er.
Fight lice by fighting dirt. It is
useless to spray and powder if you
allow droppings to pile up from,
week's end to week’s end. Clean the
house thoroughly at least weekly.
If the demand is good for roasters,
clean out the cull cockerels as soon as
they prove their want of merits. Bet
ter make room for the others than
have a lot of cheap cull cockerels on
hand in the fall.
Those who have tried it say that
common axle grease, provided it is
not of the salty kind, is a good rust
preventive for agricultural imple
ments and tools, being equal to a
coat of varnish.
The common wheat drill has been
found the most ctffivenient implement
for planting cowpeas and soy beans,
utilizing only the tubes needed to al
low a proper distance between rows.
