Making Hoars Pay.
Tetra ago we used to consider it necea*
aary to allow a pig or bog to grow before
fattening. It ot course required time to
grow, bence bog* were from two to three
yearn In making thU growth. 1 remember
on one occasion 1 wanted to purchase some
bogs to iatien, and went to a farmer that I
knew bad a number to sell. He allowed
me two lots, one of which was somewhat
larger tbau the other, but in priolng them
be ofl'ered the larger ones at a less price
because be said they did not have the age
and were not ready to leed, 'f he others
were considerably older and although
•mall were worth the most. But 1 llud a
gnat change In this respect, until now a
bog on an average must be ready tor the
market within a year after farrowing at
least.
Taking the last live years and I have only
found one plan of making a protit from
boga. I couple my sows so as to the pigs
•ome In February. 1 preter this to March,
because it la usually the best mouth, while
they have much longer time to grow in.
The first two mouths we must expect to
feed the pigs through the sow.and this cau
be done earlier as well as later. Provide
a good warm pen for the hows and feed
liberally upon slop and mill feed, so ns to
•eoure a good start to grow. Usually by
the time they learn to eat well the pasture
will be ready to furnish a considerable
amount of greeu food, aud with ryo aud
clover or a patch of oats sown early and a
light feed of bran slops a steady growth
can be kept up. Make them grow as fast
as possible and get them ready lor market
early.
There are essential points in deriving
the best prodt from hogs. With a good
breed, by this plan ot management, 1 can
have my pigs ready for market at least by
November, and olten earlier, the time de-
pending upon the timo of market. Dur-
ing the last live yeilrg prices have been
Very low at times, but by this plan I have
been able to derive a profit from hogs. X
am thoroughly satisfied upon three points
of farm management of hogs. One of them
Is, it does not pay to keep scrub stock. 1'
you are not able to secure a full start of
thoroughbred bogs, you can at least secure
the services of a good, blooded male and
mate him with your sows. The slow grow-
ing, late maturing scrub could uot, in the
jast five years, have always been profitable.
The second is to have pigs come early in
the spring and then push them. Feed so
as to get them ready for market in the
shortest time possible, make them gain
steadily every day from the time they are
farrowed until they are marketed.
The third item is to butcher and salt
down a good quantity of bacon or pork. X
have always been able to sell every pound
I could spare, at a good price, and it Is, X
>lind, a very easy matter in the fall to sell
I out too closely, and then be obliged to buy
' again, while, by making sure of a lull sup-
ply, at any time you find you have a sur-
plus it can readily be sold, while if you ure
obliged to purchase you'mustpay a good
pries.
As the average farm Is arranged, it does
not pay to winter over many pigs. Oct
good stock; have early spring pigs; push
them from the start by feeding wall. Fat-
ten In the tall bofore cold weather sets in,
ar.d be sure to keep a good supply for your
own use, and keeping hogs on the farm can
be made as profitable, on an average, as
any other class of stock.—Colman's Xtural
World,
Choosing a Horse.
Unless a horse has brains you can't teach
blm, said a horse fancier, gee that tall
bay there, a fine looking animal, fifteen
bands high. You can't teach that horse
anything. Why? Well, X'll show you a
difference in li.eads, but have a care oi his
beels. Look, at the brute s bead, that
rounding Bose, that tapering forehead,
tbat broad, full place below the eyes. You
ean't trust him. That's an awiul good
mare; true as the sun. You can see breadth
and lulness between the ears and eyes.
You couldn't hire that mare to act m$an or
hurt anybody. The eye hüouIiI be lull, and
hazel is a good color. X like a small, thin
ear, and want a horse to throw his ears
well forward.
Look out lor the brute that wants to lis-
v. ten to all the conversation going on behind
V... bim. The horse that turns back his ears
tilt they almost meet at the point, take my
word for it, is sure to do something wrong.
See that straight, elegant lace. A horse
with a dishing face is cowardly, and a cow.
ardly brute is usually vicious. Then X like
a square muzzle, with largo nostrils to let
In plenty of nlr to the lungs. For the un-
der side of the bead, a good horse should
be well cut under the jowl, with jaw bones
broad and wide apart under the throttle.
The next thing to consider 1* the build of
tbe animal.
\ Never buy a long legged, stllty horse,
ft' Let him have a short, Ttralght back and a
straight tump, and you've a man's liorse
Tbe withers should be high, and tbe slioul*
ders well sot back and broad, but don't get
tbem too deep in tbe chest. The lore leg
should be short. Give me a pretty, straight
bind leg, with lock low down, short pas era
joints, and a round muslin foot. There
are all kinds of horses, but the animal tbat
has these points is almost sure to be sightly,
graceful! good-natured and serviceable.—

inch cut, and what tbey called plowing
was quits well calculated to grow «eeds,
and in most Instances Isss than one bals of
cotton to the sore. The "workers there
wsre doing plenty ot work to raise from
two to three bales of cotton to tbe acre, 11
the ground bad first been plowed one foot
deep. Seasons ot drouth and of wet are as
common in the south as anywhere, and the
tillers ot tbe soil there should know tbat
deep plowing lully provides against dam-
age, both irom too much wet as well as
drouth; especially is this so in tbe stiff, ad-
hesive, waxy land.
l'lows with which to do good, thorough
work of the progressive style are easily ob-
taiued, and cost no more than common
plows of the same capacity; therefore let
the farmers of the south and west investi-
gate. and commence to plow in earnest lor
paying crops. The tarmer has a right to
work for profit as well as to p.*y tases and
leed the world of mankind. Farming
should be and ean be easily made highly
profitable and more honorable than any
other culling among men. Labor is uoble
and very honorable, but enough is plenty.
Mankind should not work too much, be-
cause it is suicidal to overwork as well as
to overeat, Hut there is no danger of
plowing too deep. Enough aeres are pleu-
ty. Stop paying taxes on shallow plowed
land.—Conrad llartzell, in Colman's Rural
World.
Stan With Good Hoe Sense.
Tbe demand for hogs has almost reached
a craze with some. Xt seems so sensible,
so natural, and even necessary, tbat com-
mon sense ough: to suggest to any think-
ing, praeticai man that e\ery farmer should
raise his own meat. That hog raising will
pay we think that we have thoroughly
proved, both In 12111* county and here.
Since coming here we bought a lull-blood
Poland China sow, paying f30 cash for lier.
Some of my neighbors thought we hud
very little hog sense. We now have seveu
lull-Moods that will average about 200
pouuda each, that will bring $l.r> each, or
over $100. I also have six pigs (ballbreeds,
as I could get no other male) worth $5
each, or $:!0, making a total of 9135 on an
Investment of $<"0, and I still have my first
purchase, worth the purchase money. 1
am going to buy more, and 1 want the
best.—Jl. B. Tally in Fort Worth Gazelle
Herbaceous drafting.
Annuals, or herbaceous plants, belong-
ing to the same genua or nuiural family
will adhere and grow on eacti other aB
readily as do woody plants. Thus a cauli-
flower will grow on a cabbage, a tomato
on a potato, or vice versa. The garden
cucumber will grow on the wild vines of
the same family which are sometimes used
for covering harbors. And these grow to
an extraordinary length, while the garden
cucmoer seldom exceeds six or eight feet.
This knowledge of grafting annuals may be
utilized and mude profitable, especially
when the potato is forced to ripen seed by
engrafting or Inarching on the tomato
Cucumbers may be grown on a high trellis
or around the upper story windows of any
building by training one of tbe wild cu-
cumber vines—either Sicyos augulatus,the
single-seeded of star cucumber vine, or the
Kchinocystes, or wild balsam apple—either
of which grows titty or sixty feet in a sin-
gle season up to the desired height This
is easily done by towing cucumber seed of
any of the gai'don varieties in a flower pot,
and when the plant is six or eluht inches
high joining it lo one ol these wild vines
when It has reached the desired height.
Merely scraping the bark of each and tying
them firmly together with any soft materi-
al is suflicioiit. They will unite in about
ton or twelve days, or sooner, and produce
fruits at a height to which the garden cu-
cumber could uever attain,—American
Agriculturist.
When young trees have been out of the
grouud a lew days, either in transit from
t'ie nuisery or otherwise, and not properly
rarcd for, the barn becomes shrunken, and
although the loots may be In tolerable
good condition, there is groat danger that
the tree may die after it is planted. One
ot the English horticultural journals sug-
gests that this may be preventod by burj-
ing tbe trees wholly for a few days. To
do this, dig a trench as wide as the tree is
high and eight inches deep at one end and
sixteen Inches deep at the other, and long
enough to hold all tbe trees to be buried,
when laid in tbe trench live or six trees on
top ot one another. Place tbe troes in the
trench with the roots at the deep end of It,
laying them straight and packing them
closely together, but do nor. pile ihem up
above a level of the ground. Now cover
the trees, top and roots, with twelve to
fifteen lnobes of earth. If the ground be
very dry, a lew buckets of wator should be
slowly sprinkled over tbe i>oil after ttie
trees are burlad, In four or live days tbey
must be taken out and transplanted Imme-
diately, being careful to cut back the tops.
Trees thus burled when taken from the pit
often look as Iresh as when dug at the
nursery, and with proper care seldom die.

Please let it be said in time to plow in
tbe sunny south, as your valuable journal
reaches all parts ot tbe (arming regions or
tbe United States, and as tbe south has
not yet been plowed, except in the mildest,
mesnlng of tbe term. Plowing mostly in
California and also In tbe soutb is done
when tbe ground Is ioo wet to be ot tbe
greatest benefit. Texas is somewhat like
California; both have stiff, 'adhesive soil.
Neither of these great states, in any part,
bavs ever been thoroughly plowed. Texts,
like tbe older soatb, needs very ¿¡really to
be plowed in the progressive style of tbe
Irt. Now, while the werher is cool and
all tbe circumstances arqi favorable, good,

Consenting Ornamental Hanging
for llowir —Laurel Boots, Wire
Balloon Frames —"Artlttlo Negllgeta !
the Art Which Conceals All Art,"
Invention, fancy and oven cultiirod
caprice liavo been exhausted in design-
ing baskets for hanging with planta; in.
They rango through all styles, from tlio
extreme rustió to the Moorish ornate,
und are of wood, wire, spring steel,cord-
ago, terra cotta and sonio other mate-
rials. A quuiut and beautiful ruetio
hanging basket is made of laurel roots,
which can be found in all aorta of gro-
tesque shapes, and yet blend together
iuto a really rustic lmrnaony. This kind
gives, perhaps, the truest air of rusticity
to the exterior of tho basket. The ap-
pended cuts aro designed from illustra-
tions which originally appeared in nn
admirable volume, "Qartleuiug for Plea-
sure." <j&
The other extreme is the balloon frame
hanging basket, which conveys no sug-
gestion whatever of rusticity, aud is ab-
solutely devoid of any hint of natural-
ness, It is thoroughly artificial, and this,
by its sharp contrast with the plants en-
closed, makes quite a charm for aoine
people. It is a fact few have noticed,
yet recognized by all, that there are, as
one botanist phrases it, "no right lines in
growing nature." This means that there
is no such thing as a cardinal line or per-
fect geometrical figure in anything of
organic growth, plant or animal. Occa-
sionally a plant presents lines almost ex-
actly straight, and in the forms of color-
ing on some auimals the figures appear
at first view exact; but there is always
some departure. The whole body of an
animal is made up of delicate curves
—beauty is "roundness"—the square,
blocky or angular is unhandsome.

RUSTIC, WlPJi, BAU.OON PRAMS,
In manufactured articles, oil the other
band, the tendency is to exact figures,
and in the crystallization of minerals
tlie geometry is exact. It is in the sharp
contrast between these principles that
the artist finds room for many a varia-
tion—each heightening the effect of itfi
opposite. Hence the beauty of the
balloon frame hanging basket. But this
blending of the geometrically exact with
the charming vagrancy of plant-nature
requires good taste and not a little cul-
tivation of the eye, and in tho basket, as
in laying out a garden or platting a
yard or lawn, tho engineering inajj lié
loo apparent, too perfect as it wjr«\
"Artistic negligence," "the art which
conceals all art-'—in llower gardening
aB in poetry this is tho point to be aimed
at. 11' most observers admire the basket
more than its contents, there is reason
to suspect an error of taste.
The wire basket is less obtrusive and
consequently not so likely to bo too
prominent. Many attractive receptacles ¡
for flowers aro also mado of pottery
ware and wood, as well as other materi-1
als. Of course there should be perfora-
tions around the baso, as tho hanging
plant requires mora water than tho plant
in tho soil, tho air circulating freely bo-
low as well as above it. Tho best way
of watering is to sink the basket in a tub
or pail of water till the earth is wet
through, aud tho rule with most plants
in, do not water till the earth is dry, aud
then water thoroughly. Tho frequency
of watering, of course, depends upon tbe
weather; sometimes oncea week is often
enough and sometimes once a day is not
too often. Judgment and experience
have their value in this aa in everything
ulso worth doing.
A list of plants suitable for hanging
baskets would bo very long. They are
mosses, ivies, smilax, moneywort, ivy-
Icavod geraniums, dracomas, marantas,
ferns and many more. Even wlien up-
right plants are grown, if the basket ¡b
exposed to the sun or on a porch where
there if a draught, tlhe surface may
profitably bo covered with moss from
the woods. It keepi the earth more
evenly moist, adds to tho rustic natural-
ness of the effect and in no way inter-
feres with tho main plant.
Orchard Cam.
You must keep an eye on yourorchard.
Never trust to Providence and your hired
hand, for a careless haud will do more
damage in an orchard than ho will do
good. Keep all tramps out of tho
orchard that aro around after jobs of
pruning. Let no man prune in your
orchard without you know he is a skill-
ful hand at the business. Wrap your
troes early in the fall to keep tho rabbits
from barking the trees. Tho best ma-
terial to uso is screen wire. It will keep
tho borers and mico away from the trees
as well as the rabbits. The wire will
cost about twenty-two cents per yard,
and one yard will mako live guards.—

tural coliegc. has sent out a bulletin in
relation to steam and hot water heating.
The hot water apparatus used kept the
temperaturo from Dec. 23 to April 24
at an average of 53.0 degs., consuming
four tons and 1,155 pounds of coal. Tbe
steam boiler during the same time kept
the temperature at 61.2 degs. and con-
sumed five tons and 1,201 pounds of coal.
