A hey that is Infester! with worms cannot produce pork economically, be cause its system is not in normal con dition. Furthermore, such a hog is .also more susceptible to contagious ami other diseases than one not af fected in that manner. We have of ten made the statenent rhnt worms are frequently the Indirect cause of Cholera. Do not understand us to say that worms will produce cholera, says a" writer in an exchange. Far from it. Cholera is a germ disease and cnn he produced only hy the yhol era germ, but a strong, vigorous hoy ls not nearly so susceptible to cholera as is one whose system is in a run down condition. A very good, practical remedy for, worms consists in r- ?- ling one pound Of copperas to lo;) pigs for a period of five days. Thea feed no copperas for six weeks; after that feed cop peras for live days ayain as before and continue this intermittent copperas feeding from hirth to block. The cop peras should be dissolved in water and mixed with the grain, preferably ground grain of some kind. Many hoy feeders are using tlds remedy and recoinmeufl it very highly. PREPARING S0?L FOR WHEAT Quite as Much Depends on Prelimi nary Work for Best Development as on Use of Fertilizer. Quite as much depends upon the proper preparation of the soil for the best development of plants as the use of fertilizers. A case in point is that of an intelligent Missouri farmer who lived in a section where the idea pre vailed that wheat could not be profit ably grown there. He had tried to raise wheat on his farm, iu the old, rough way, and cm.ild yet but ten or twelve bushels per acre. He visited 'the state experiment station at a time ?when a plot of ground was being pre pared for wheat and became so im-' pressed with their thorough methods of soil preparation that he prepared a field on his farm in the sanie way, and from this harvested a crop of 35 ; bushels of good wheat per acre, the ?only fertilizer used being stable ma nure.

COVERING FOR MANURE HEAP If Protection cf Some Kind ls Not Given Valuable Nitrogen and Nitrates Are Lost. The manure heap is a scene of bac terial activities. When it lies very long the nitrogen is transformed Into ammonia and escapes. When it escapes it is gone forever. Some of the manure changes into ni trates, and these are washed away and lost if the manure heap is uncovered. Nitrates are soluble, and when they are washed away the farm loses all their value. A part of the nitrates are attacked by bacteria and become nitrogen gas. FOR SALE: Two very large home-raised Mn i es, one six years old and the other nine. I). E. Lan ham; Edgefield, S. C.
