It is difficult to convince farmers that more money can he made from a hog fed on a variety of fooil, having a fair proportion of lean meat, than a large and excessively fat one. A hog weigh ing 150 pounds and selling for seven cents a pound will bring $10.50, while a 200 pound hog will seldom bring more than five cents per pound, or $10. Of course much depends on the quality of the small hog, but the saving is in the cost, as the smaller hog can be pro duced on less food and labor and also gotten into market sooner. Epitomist. Economy In Hauling. When hauling a load it is better to have the horses draw as much as they can, making the road the maximum in weight 6s the horses have traveled the distance whether the load is small or large and it is the time lost in travel ing that makes hauling expensive. If the roads are good, heavy loads can be carried. If not, then two trips must be made and smaller loads carried. Let any farmer estimate how much he loses as the difference in large and small loads and loss of time in the mud and he will make less objection to road tax In future. Epitomist. Jersey or Guernsey. What is the best for milking and but ter in the dairy breeds of cattle, espec ially between the Jersey and Guern sey? J. K. W. We should hardly like to say that there is any "best" breed. As between the Channel Is land kinds, it is largely a matter of individual taste. Guernseys are larg er, and it is claimed for them that they are somewhat hardier. Jerseys are generally considered rather prettier. If our correspondent is thinking of establishing a butter herd, we can give him no better advice than to look over both breeds and see which appeals more strongly to his fancy. Country Gentleman. Protecting from Mice. A writer in Farmers' Review says of trees liable to damage by mice and rabbits: "They are liable to damage till the bark gets very thick and rough, and even then the trees are not safo if the ground is covered thickly with snow and the food for rodents scarce. As to the varieties of trees most at tacked, I place them in the following order: Pear, plum, peach, apple. Per haps the apple should come before the peach. Various methods of protecting trees are used by the farmers in this local ity wire, lath, paper and veneer. Some use axle grease, crude kerosene and soap. The wire, lath, veneer and pa per are safe if properly used." Nitrogen for Soil. While nitrogen' is the fertilizing ele ment most easily lost from manures and soils, it is the most expensive, costing about three times as much per pound as potash and phosphoric acid. The readiness with which nitrates are washed out of the soli during heavy rains when the ground is thawed, sug gests that during the period of such rains, it should be covered with some catch crop, which will feed upon the nitrates formed and store nitrogen in its tissues. - For this purpose rye is an excellent crop, and is much used. While it adds no nitrogen to the soil, which is not always found therein, as crimson clov er does, it is a much surer catch than the former, and is thoroughly hardy. It forms quite a root system' during the fall, starts off early in the spring, and by ordinary planting time forms a heavy coat of manure to be plowed under. . One office which rye performs is fo absorb great quaatities, while the ground is reeking with moisture in the early spring, so that when it is turn ed down in the furrow it carries under with it tons of. water per acre, and holds it in such shape that it. will not be readily evaporated. American Cul tivator. How Much House Ro?m for Poultry? Most farmers are inclined to over crowd their poultry houses. They want to be economical end try to save money by building small poultry bouses, or If they do start out with one of sufficient size they yield to the. temptation to crowd more in it the second year than the first. The farm er reasons, that since he kept fifty fowls last year and made a profit of $25 this year he will keep one hundred fowls and make $50 profit. That is all right if the house and yard room are Increased in proportion at least equal to the increase in the number of fowlB, bnt otherwise it it all wrong and will bring certain disappointment Crowd ed fowls need closer care and attention In every way than thoee that have plenty of room; the crowded house m'lst needs be cleaned must more fre quently, is harder to ventilate proper ly and always contains more debilitat ed or diseased fowls than the house that it sanitary in every respect. The most level-headed practical poul trymen who want Btrong, rugged stock that will produce good fertile cgijs and strong chicks, Insist upon ten square feet of house room per fowl. With a small flock of ten or fifteen birds this is more essential than where fifty or more hens are kept together in one flock, for the reason that with the larger flock each hen has access to the entire floor space even though her in dividual share la no greater than in the smaller flock. Also, breeding fowls need more house room for fertile eggs than hens that are kept merely to pro duce a large number of eggs, regard less of their ability to hatch well. More hens can profitably be kept in a certain size during the summer time than during the winter, for reasons that are obvious. For all-the-year-round work a house 10x10 feet should contain no more than nine or ten hens and a roos ter. Hens kept for cijgs alone and with no male bird in the flock, can safely be housed in flocks of fifty or more at the rate of five square feet of floor space to each bird. Epitomist How to Milk a Cow. Several years ago, the Wisconsin Farmers' Institute issued a bulletin on dairying in which was given some prac tical suggestions in the management of milk cowb by the ordinary farmer who does not make a specialty of dairying. Following is the substance of the bul letin which even professional dairy men will recognize as important for the attainment of the best results. Cows should always be confined in the stable to be milked. To get clean milk the stable should be kept clean at all times, the walls and posts should btf often whitewashed and land plaster should be used as an absorbent. Before commencing to milk, brush all loose dirt from the sides nndjidder of the cow. After a little manipulation of the teals and udder the milk is ready to "come down" and should be taken without delay. Milk as rapidly as possible without irritating or worry ing the cow. No definite rule can be given as to how the teats should be handled in milking, as both cow's and hands differ so much; but the milker should strive to please the cow, which a careful, observant person can easily do. There should always be a friendly feeling between the cow and the milk er, and milkers should not be changed if it can be avoided. A cow will not give down her milk to a person she hates or is afraid of and what she does give will be deficient in butter fat. Always milk a cow In the same man ner, advises the Aijrlcultural Epitom ist, at about the tame time and speed. Any change will irritate and tend to excite her. Always milk in the same order and at tfee same time of day.' When it comes a cow's turn to be milked, she knows it, expects it and wants to be milked. If yfiu disappoint her and milk half an hour. later the chances are that you will get less and poorer milk than if you had milked at the proper time. Always milk the cow dry before leaving her, but do not continue stripping after the milk is all drawn. If at each milking, part of the milk is left in the udder, nature, will stop providing it, because it is not taken. The last milk drawn from the cow is much richer than the first The last quart usually contains more than three times as much butter fat as the first. Farm Notes. It is not a bad idea to let horses know that a whip is on hand, but Its frequent use is undesirable. We hear a deal about horses hav ing this or that saddle gait, while for ordinary purposes a fast walk has more value. Horses should be taught to move off promptly when told to do it, and should work with their companions When forming part of a team. Musty or dusty hay is undesirable always; and if a horse has the heaves, it should be sprinkled enough to lay the dust. It would be better still to feed better hay. A good driver is worth as much as a good horse when it comes to pull ing a load, and a good driver is one who keeps his horses under control and does not worry them by Jerking on the lines. A driver should have the confidence of his team. When he does, the work stock will pull every time they are told to do it. Fool drivers are often the cause of balky horses; and when ;he balky habit is once formed, it takes a good driver and patience to overcome it A few years ago we were told that the bicycle and the electric car would reduce the price of horses, but it was wrong. Later we have been told that the automobile would reduce their price, but none of us have been able to notice the reduction. Good horses will always be in demand.

Less than an hour afterward he start ed from his home, on East Shelton avenue, in possession of a number of New Yenr cards, which she wished dropped In the Germantown postotlice, and in otder not to forget he carried them in his hand through the streets. As he reached tho letter Blot, on the outsido of the postolflce a friend tap ped him on tho shoulder, requesting the time of day. He drew his watch from his pocket, answered the ques tion, dropped the watch through the slot and started to walk away with the New Year postal cards still tight ly held in his other hand. The friend knew of his peculiarity and hastened after him. When the watch had been secured the absent-minded man went on, and it was- not until late that night that his wife discovered tho pos tals he had promised to mall reposing in his overcoat pocket."
