WK bhould'nt be ur|riel if,

fruit and vegetables could be found
in the cellar. Suppose you look to
this to-day, and remove all such and
give them to the stock. The slock
will appreciate them, and the air of

Pushing the Stock
< or of fhr* K| itrfui't.
The question of profitable atoek
raising and fattening on the farm is
one of simply how short il can lie
accomplished. On the tnngea in the
West it may pay to let stock run
three and four years U'forc selling in
market, but for the average farmer
who must IK? Nt more expense and
trouble where pastures arc more vnl
liable, and who can afford to take the
price generally realized for such
stock, be must puah his 6tock, must,
if possible, make bis stock weigh
more in a far less lime and thereby
secure a better price. To do this : ,
The cow, sow snd ewe must be In a
thriving condition at the period of
parturition snd must bo kept so, in
order that the young offspring may
make a good aturt growing, and as
soon as possible the young stock, be
j it u calf, a lamb, or u litter of pigs,
; must he pushed with feed us fust us
possible, as long as good grade cattle
; can be made to weigh from twelve j
hundred to two thousand pounds in
two years and fattening hogs can be
' ruude to weigh four or five hundred
pounds in a year simply by pushing j
j all the time. To accomplish these
j results you must not let the growth
stop for a single day. livery day
your stock ceases to grow is that
! much los, and to keep them increas
; ing steadily requires constant care
and attention, hut in this there is u
J profit and the more you can add to
I young stock's growth arid weight in
a given time the greater will bethel
profit, under anything like ordinary
i circumstances. This i- especially the
■ case with hogs. 1 urtucrs have ul.
; ready realized that it is far more
profitable to Imve pigs come in in
the Spring, then push them along all
summer and Lave them ready for
market at the farthest by f 'hristmas.
Il costs considerable to w.ntcr a pig
and keep it growing a* fist as it
' „hou!d —and unless il is kept grow
ing all the time il will get stunted
and no amount of < \tra < are after
wards will fully make up what has
been . jst. Jhe same may l.c said of

in the winter it takes good care to
keep the 111 growing AS they should,
and any failure * to do tin. is "ore to

bus not shaied in the advance that

which are beyond the means of indi

state aid must le invoked In other
pursuits the questions to solve are
comparatively few and simple, but in
agriculture they are innumeishle,
complex aud far-reaching. Those who

that whit he had learned was but as

masses in agriculture is not enough
yet to mskc tliem begin to appreciate
the immensity of what is to be
known. Reaction, of course, should
le guarded against, bjut every step
Uken should be a step in advance.
Put Clover on Your Land.

••ring, hundreds of farms that were
about worthless have been reamed
| from dilapidation and ruin. It is an
accepted truism that as long as
"clover will catch" the farm can be
! restored to paying fertility, and by a
good rotation is cveu getting more
productive and profitable ; for after
some yearn of such treatment the
land will bear harder farming—that
■a, two or three crops may succeed a
good coat ol i lover before laying
down to trover again. Rough, new
land should be subdued by the use of
large • lover. Nothing so effectuaily
rots our stumps and kills weeds and
sprouts, and prepares the land for
the plow and good paying crops.
