Some one has wisely observed that the farmer who sends his corn to market in the shape of fat oxen. sheep and pigs is always sure of getting paid for his crop. The manure pays for the cost of feeding. The man who sells his grain direct enriches another man's farm at the expense of his own. The best way is to feed on the farm as far as practicable.?New York Witness. A Good Dairy Combination. The cow and sow are surely a great combination when handled* right. The quickest, easiest and keep-coming money maker is a good cow, and when you can keep just over in the next lot a good sow with seven or eight lusty pigs, calling for all the skirnmilk you can give them, it is surely easy money. More farms today are making milk and pork their main products than ever before. Where the milk is skimmed at home, and the fresh, sweet milk fed to the pigs, there is the best opportunity in the world for making cheap pork. Experiment stations claim that skimmilk is worth for feeding from 20 to 25 cents per hundred. It is worth much more if we take into consideration the boost it gives the pigs just at the right time. Work the combination? sow and cow. They .will pay well for you.?Indiana Farmer. Two Hindrances to Growth. % They seem to come to all hogs and we should be ready to combat them. They are lice and worms. The man who never does anything tc keep away lice I believe is losing money. There is no more effective method of getting rid of lice in mild weather than by dipping. But whether you have a dipping plant or not there should be some provision for applying a disinfectant by spraying or sprinkling We use a cheap quality of kerosene and apply very lightly but often. Other liquids may be better, but the kero sene is useful for many things ana it is always ready. We have a five gallon can for oil for the stock and poultry. It is good to apply a fewdrops to the feed which serves a purpose similar to that of the external application. This seems to be an effective remedy for the coughs common among hogs. For worms we give turpentine mixed with the feed. The proper use of these liquids re-quires that they be administered frequently and in small quantities. Good Sheep Good Property. The Farm Stock Journal says that the sheep of the past were kept chiefly for wool, which sharply fluctuates, but in recent years there has developed a world-wide demand for mutton. This demand is increasing. It will continue to increase ast meat consumers tetter understand the excellent qualities of mutton. This insures for the sheepkeeper, two stable market products from his flock?wool and mutton. Sheep keeping comes nearer being, a safe and surely profitable industry than ever before. Yet, it must.be remembered that the scrub sheep with her scanty, uneven fleece, and runty lambs, vies successfully with the scrub cow in leading iier owner 10 uie gaies or bankruptcy. It is the full ancL half breed sheep and iambs that top the markets, the full and half-breed fleeces that lead the wool market quotations. They are yielding handsome dividends, and in times of depression, will enable their owners to keep clear of the rocks of disaster. It pays to breed the best, whether it be sheep, swine, cattle or horses. Indigestion of Fowls. For mild attacks of indigestion occurring when there is no reason to suppose the trouble is due to the quality of food, there is nothing better?nothing so good, in fact?as fasting, letting the fowls go without food, excepting green food, for one or two days, then feeding them sparingly. In highly fed hens the digestive system is often overworked. A system of feeding and quality cf food that one hen or one flock stands all right may be too much for another. The poultry keeper has to judge of what and liow to feed, not by someone else's results, but by results in his own yards. To get good growth and heavy egg production we h AO f'l fnnri i n or IllUbl iCCU uco.viij', auvi iux iccui 11 i, uta?ily we are always running risks of breaking down the digestive systems by overwork. So the poultryman should watch closely for signs of indigestion, especially lack of appetite or looseness of the bowels, and when such symptoms appear let the hens go without grain for a feed or several feeds, as the case may seem to require. Careful attention to this point is the best preventive of digestive disorders. I have found it a good plan to omit one ' ' . .. -' .

How to Make the Farm Pay. ri.fti'ft ovo o oroat rtiiinv srandnointS from which this subject can be taken up. In this talk I will consider it from the standpoint of soil fertility. The one crop system has reduced yields faster than it would seem that it ought to. and especially where the soils were very rich to begin with. ! In order to get definite data in regard to the effect of the one crop system as j compared with a rotation, a set of fields were set apart for this purpose at the Minnesota Experiment Station. One J field was grown to wheat for five years, another field to wheat, clover, wheat, I oats and corn manured. A third plot to corn for five years, and a fourth field to oats for 5 years# These fields had grown the same crops and had the same treatment before being brought into the experiment. ^ At the beginning the soils were analyzed as to their nitrogen and humus content. Nitrogen is the most important plant food, and also gets away the easiest; it is also the most expensive to replace. At the end of the five years there had been a loss of 855 pounds of nitrogen per acre, of which 98 pounds were re moved in the crops, the remaining 757 ! pounds being lost, at 15c per pound, 3113.55, which, makes it quite clear why the one cropping system is hard on the land. It was also found that the loss in humus had been 7300 pounds per acre in the 5 years, which explains in part why the nitrogen had escaped, as the organic matter or humus holds the nitrogen in a way that it cannot waste. On the field where there had been a rotation of crops, including clover and corn manured, the gain in the 5 years was 343 pounds, of which 225 pounds were removed in the crop, leaving a net gain of 118 pounds, which at 15p per pound amounts to $1710. There had also been a gain of 13,830 pounds of humus per acre. The difference in the results cf the two fields are very marked; the one containing at the end of the 5 years, $130.65 worth of nitrogen j more than the other and 21,130 pounds more of humus, besides having raised In-v- for n />vnn t\T\ a tTQ C k/j tax tuc laigvi Vi\/j[/. a 11*0 vuv t> v?v a fertile field, in fine tilth, while the other was lacking in both fertility and tilth. At the beginning of the experiment the soils weighed 75 pounds per cubic foot; at the end of the five years the soil of the field grown to wheat weighed 77 pounds, while the soil of the rotation plot weighed only 72 pounds. There was a loss of 425 pounds of nitrogen per acre in the soil of the plot grown to corn. Of this 280 pounds were removed in the crop, leaving a net loss of 145 pounds, which, at 15c, would amount to $21.75. The loss of humus was 5532 pounds per acre. The field grown to oats for 5 years suffered a loss of 980 pounds of nitrogen per acre, of which 230 pounds were removed in the crop, leaving a net loss 1 of 750 pounds, which, at 15c, amounts to $112.50. The loss of humus was 6085 pounds. These figures help explain why stock rais/ng and dairying are profitable. It is not only in the returns but also in the improvement that comes to the soil through the crop rotations practiced; which keep an abundant supply of humus in the soil, to retain the nitrogen and to make the soil mellow.?Address before Marion County Farmers' Institute, by Prof. W. C. Palmer, Win .ona Agricultural institute. Farm Notes. Good stock will find quicker sales at good prices than poor stock at any price. All profitableness begins and ends in the excellence or low grade of the sheep. Mutton sheep give the best returns, if fed for that purpose while they are young. The sheep business will be on the safest basis when the fleece and carcass are both well developed and valuable. No animal will deteriorate so rapidly from neglect or show so marked an improvement for good keep as well bred sheep. Not all colds develop into roup, but colds are apt to "wind up" with roup troubles if there is a taint of constitutional roup in the flock. ' How can one expect good and profitable results from an industry in which hp snends .neither time nor enerev? Poultry keeping is an industry. The Babcock test registers the amount of butter fat, which is not the same as the amount of butter, because butter contains from 12 to 15 percent of water besides butter fat. Add about 12 percent to the Babcock indication in reckoning the product cf the churn. To prevent sore shoulders of working horses, H. E. Cook recommends perfectly fitting collars fitted to the shoulders by working the lforse in them after thorough soaking of the collars. He would avoid sweat pads under all circumstances except where they become absolutely necessary because of lack of properly fitting collars.? American Cultivator. " ' i J . ' A STONE WALL.

V THE WHOLE FAM1LX Mother Finds a Food For Grown-Ups and Children as Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older/ members of the family, makes a pleasant household commodity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up children, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspeptics. A Phila. lady, after being benefited herself, persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: , . "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on I had to be very careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition ? his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-Nuts and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old, do not want anything el3e for breakfast but Grape-Nuts and more healthy children cannot be found." Name given by Pcstum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
