Selecting a Breed Sew. . The nervous, high strung sew Is not hard to. pick et and b generally a poor animal to buy. , Feed Haas Regularly. Fattening hogs should not be made to wait for their feed. Regularity in feeding Is essential. 11 Profitable Corn. . Joseph Beyer, a farmer near Waldron, Md., sold fifty-eight bogs for $933, an average ef ever $16 for each bog. v Having kept account of the bushels of corn fed to them, he finds he received XM a bushel for the corn. Pasture Makes Cheap Perk. The lewa experiment station was able to make 700 pounds of gain on hogs from one acre of clover, and It waa estimated by that station that by the use of plenty of pasture gains could be made for a little over 3 cents per pound. finishing th Hog. No better place can be bad to finish hogs en new corn than a field of rye that has been "begged down." But they should by all means have corn before the rye begins, to fall. This kind of ration, new corn and rye, wlll be most too strong for sows and pigs. Oiv th Runt a Chanes. If there Is a scarcity of pigs it will usually pay te gtve the runt a little extra ehaace. A moderate ration of middlings or some other good feed will soon show whether there Is anything of valoe in the runt pig. Well bred hogs will soon respond to good feeding, but the choice pigs of poorly bred bogs a not usually profitable. Pigs Nsed Exerols. It is best never to confine pigs and young hogs in a small pen. Those who are compelled by circumstances to do this had better give up the business of raising hogs and try something else. Old bogs may be confined in. a pen after they have developed bone and muscle, but young hogs, as well as any other young animals, must have an abundance of exercise. .' THE 'STEEPLE JACK. He Must Conquer Many DifRoulties In His Dangerous Work. The successful steeple Jack must possess determination, perseverance and Ingenuity. He most solve many a practical problem in hoisting great bodies aloft. He must know how to fasten a hook over the summit of a skyscraplng chimney. He must have the nerve to paint a steeple that swsys like a pendtttaaa at the slender top. He must be able to tear down, build up. gild, paint, place electric wires and do many another task that wttuld be difficult enough en the solid earth. There are many ways of getting up on a steeple, and when all others fail the man wilt tie a rope around it and then, with a eoil on his back, walk round and round it until the entire steeple is covered with rope, and in such case he has probably been round it fully 300 times. But a steeple Is net the most difficult height to climb. Straight; tall chimneys are the hardest of alL There a man has to work with might and main to Oft himself inch by inch from the ground to the top. Sometimes the top Is 300 feet high. When It Is reached a hook is placed over the edge, a pulley la made fast, the swinging chair la hauled up and work begins. When the chair is near the top it is easier to work, because the ropes are short, but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there Is a tendency to swing, and the wind gives Impetus. The steeple jack's safety depends upon the hook, and until he has raised himself almost to the top it is impossible for him te see whether or not tbe hook hat been properly adjusted. Mora than once a steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the Iron and the collection of soot have so thickened the wall that the hook is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull In the wrong direction would drag it off. Again, the bricks are often loose at the top, and the hook is likely to tear them away. One of the natural difficulties to conquer Is the swaying of all high steeples and chimneys. In a gale a steeple point will sway a foot and a half. Usually it sways from seven to nine Inches. Painting it means reaching for a spot on the right side, and finding It on the left. and. when making a dive for It on the left, to see It sway back te the right. Yet In spite of the constant danger a born steeple jack ex ults In his work and Is at borne, like tbe Ironworker on the skyscraper, only, when high above the world. He can stand triumphantly at any height, if he can have two and one-half square Weekly.

Of Interest to

BEST CREEDS FGR "' r.'UTTOU AND LAMB. XMscnaslng the value of the "Down" breeds and their crosses for the production of mutton and lamb. J. P. Ross says in Farm and Fireside: The breeds we treat of are the Shropshlres, Southdowna, Hamps hires and Donets, the strictly "Down" breeds, so called because of their origin in the general region of the downs or low rolling hills of the south of England. Of these breeds the best for our purpose is probably the Shropshire. These sheep hsve taken the firmest hold of any of the mutton breeds in this country and Canada. Tbe high quality of their meat, tbe amount of high grade wool they will produce the ram's fleece constantly running to twelve pounds' and the ewe's to eight their hardiness and ability to thrive In almost any climate and at any altitude,' and their good, early and prolific motherhood commend them most highly to the grower of winter and spring lambs as well as of mutton generally. Southdowns are well represented on this side of the water, though not nearly so numerously as are the Shropa. The Southdown is the smallest of the Down breeds, the rams seldom going over 200 pounds or the ewes over 150. Xkweplor the face and legs are more of a' brown than a black. They are credited here with being tbe hardiest and least subject to disease of any of tbe Down breeds, but with what truth I cannot say from experience. They are good grazers, good breeders and mothers, but not disposed to breed quite aa early as the Shrops. Their meat and wool are both of good quality, but she rams rarely fleece over eight or the ewes ever six pounds. In districts where they abound the farmer who baa a special liking for them will do well to admit his ewes to one or, still better, to two crosses of Dorset or Oxford for the sake of the early breeding tendency; and in the case of the Oxford also for the increase ef slse and weight. Hampshlres are. I think, hardly as widely distributed as the Shrops or Southdowns in tote country, though they are very popular in the English colonies. They sun to great weights and their meat is held in high esteem, but the fact of their- wool being often somewhat coarse and small in amount rather works against their popularity. They are proUOe, but net early breeders, good milkers and good mothers. Tbe lambs grow very rapidly, but their meat hardly equals in quality that of the other Down lambs. To obtain the m 3 tj-" ntfo2sgan soonnowx nuzn wnwan. best results te early lambs from a flock of Hampshlres oae or two crosses with a Dorset ram are desirable. The Dorsets horned, with white faces are mostly valued for their tendency to early breeding, and for that reason the use of the rams on other breeds hae become very general. The Dorset ram will Impart this characteristic Tery surely on almost any breed, even on scrubs, bat it must be remembered that this quality does not become fully developed in the ewes of any other breed until the cress is repeated in the second generation. To obtain this' advantage it la not necessary, therefore, to start up a flock of Dorset ewes; it is not even desirable, because it implies the loss of the black points, and the crossbred ewes are generally the hardiest. The Oxford Downs also have this peculiar faculty, though not so fully developed, and their coarseness makes them less desirable as sires. Fop Itching Skin ef Horses. In esse of Itching skin have tbe horse clipped and cut the grain ration down a half. Do not feed corn. That animal will do best on oats, bran and hay. Green grass often leads to itchiness of the skin. After clipping apply to the Itching parts as required a mixture of one dram each of diluted sulphuric add and carbolic acid in a pint' of water. A little menthol added is effective., where . Itcblpg Is . excessive.

Whenever a cow has bees so bred aa to produce milk continuously when fairly well fed it la better for the cow to ffled her well and continue to milk ber up to time of calving. But it must be remembered that such cows sre phenomenal cows and do not represent tbe common run of good (not bad) dairy cows. Hence, as a rule. It is better to allow tbe average cow six weeks' rest between tbe' milking period and tbe freshening. Farm Sanitation. Pigpens and stables should be kept sanitary. When not prevented files will breed In stsbles and pigpens and cause much trouble. Keep them clean. This will be to the Interest of the animals, as well as for the health of the fa:nily. RAIsinu Dctr UAI I LE. Value ef Good Pastures and Pure Water In Stock Breeding. Careful attention to pastures has for several reasons been tbe leading feature of my farming, writes a successful Indiana stock breeder In tbe American Agriculturist, first, because in tbe rearing of cattle It Is imperative to maintain tbe breeding cowa in robust health, and this csn be most surely and economically compassed with outdoor conditions. I have never thought exercise as necessary to the health of cows, ns some claim, but 1' do think that it Is impossible to overestimate the value of nutritious grasses and easy access to pure water. Tbe second reason it that a greater per cent of the year's food can be obtained witb less labor through good pastures than in any other way. The labor problem is important not only because of th AKQtrs Huron's bboad back. money Involved, but also because of the strain it puts upon human patience and forbearance. By tbe liberal use of pasture tbe labor problem is reduced to its lowest terms. Pasture has peculiar value on a breeding farm because the animals are reared from babyhood, become accustomed to .each other and to tbe pasture and in consequence do their best. Conditions might be entirely dif ferent where fitting for slaughter was the object of live stock' management; then the bringing In of strange ani mals might mean the Introduction of trouble. My object being to have grass as many days in the year as possible, care Is taken not to overstock the pasture. It is a mistake that many of us make to believe that we are getting the most from the pasture when we permit it to be eaten off until tbe blades, are but an inch or so in length and the soil exposed. Another very common error is thst lsnd is made more fertile by being pastured. Those - who have studied tbe subject tell us that the fertility of tbe land Is increased only when concentrated feeds are fed or when top dressed with stable manure. In my own experience no investment in farm machinery has been more thoroughly satisfactory than a manure spreader, and "nowhere haTe - tbe results been as . immediate and as great as when it has been used on pasture land. With the spreader It is possible to distribute as little as four loads t? tbe acre. J the

Pacific Apple Growers Will Have Largest Crop' This Year

(American News Service.) Spokane. Wash.. Aug. 27. Apple growers in the Pacific or box group, taking in Washington. Oregon. Idaho. Montana. California, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado, will this year have the largest crop ever harvested in these states and the fruit promisee to be of exceptionally good quality, according to a report on the condition of the yield in the United States and Canada, received by W. D. Finley. assistant secretary in Spokane of the fifth Dry Farming Congress, from C. P. Rothweli, secretary of the International Apple Shippers association. The report says in part: "The Pacific group shows a decline in but one important state Colorado. There are heavy Increases in Washington and Oregon, and heavy increases in the less important states of Idaho and Utah. The important state of California shows a moderate increase of 15 percent and for the whole group an Increase of 50 percent over a year ago is promised. The output of Washington and Ida ho will be 200 percent better than in 1909 Mr. Rothweli says, while Ore gon's crop will be 175 percent ahead of last year. Montana and New Mex ico are 10 percent under a year ago; Utah, 100 percent better; California, 15 percent increase and Colorado.' SO percent less than in 1909. "In accordance with the practice of our association for several years," Mr. Rothweli explains, "we make last year's crop in each state the basis for this year's estimate. Increasing or diminishing the percentage as the crop is correspondingly lighter or heavier. For illustration: If a given state is rated at 80 percent, it means' the crop this year is equal to four fifths of the crop of a year ago, or it given at 200 percent, the crop In such state Is just twice as large as a year ago. Appended is tbe crop estimate, with percentage of yield, as compared with 1909: Pacifio Group.

New England, New -York and onto all promise a much better quality than a year ago, as does all the southern group, while the Pacific group promises exceptionally good quality for the entire group, which will be the heaviest ever barvested.

"The central group, which Is the) largest group, shows Increases in Ohio, Delaware and New Jersey over last year; - Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin show considerable decline, with the Increases not being sufficient to offset the shortage, and this group shows a decline from last year of 5 to It per cent. '"The New England group shows an increase in the entire section, except the unimportant state of Rhode Islandand for the whole group the entire crop this year promises to b above 40 per cent in excess of tost year. "In the southern group, the Important state of Virginia shows a decided increase over last year, with considerable increase in West Virginia and Kentucky, Maryland alone showing a decrease in this group. This group shows an increase of fully 50 per cent over a year ago. "Canada, not including the province of Nova Scotia, shows a decline of an Mr mi amp a vur mm arlv " . varieties promising relatively better : than winter varieties. The Nova Scotia district promised a good crop until recently, but a very heavy drop followed ..shortly after setting time, and present prospects are for a light crop, poor quality and not to exceed 40 per cent of a year ago In quantity.." Mr. Rothweli closes his report with'; these words : ' "If present prospects are maintained until harvest time our country will have plenty of apples, all of better than average quality, which ahould have a good outlet at moderate prices to the consuming public' Salt and th Romans. - -SpilMuK of stilt is a superstition still current amouj: us.
