Bloom of Condition Xeeessarr For a Prime Host. By WILU'AM DIETRICH. Illinois experiment station. nogs that will grade as prime butchers, heavy, medium or light, must be perfect in quality, ideal in form and must show much evidence of ripeness in condition as well as maturity. Prime, The term "prime" in a general way means the best of the class, but in a more specific way in stockyards vernacular it has a meaning of its own.

To grade as prime a bog must show marked evidence of ripeness and maturity. The two must go hand in hand. A hog may be mature without having been fed so as to show that bloom of condition that is necessary for a prime hog, or he may have been as well fed as possible and not be sufficiently mature; consequently he would not grade as prime. The high state of finish required for. a hog of this grade is brought about by liberal grain feeding to maturity.

Maturity in general means that condition at which development is complete. In a more specific sense in the realm of Miss Mabel Walters entertained the Crescent dirision ol the eight grade hallowe'en night by giving them a party at her home. There were sixteen present and the evening was spent playing the piano, telling fortunes, telling ghost stories and various other amusements. The occasion would have been a very pleasant one had it not been for some of the boys from the other division of the class who undertook to catch and tie some of the Crescent division. The game finally became so interesting that an officer was called and made a few arrests.

The boys who were arrestee were released on their promise to be good. THE KANSAS CITY LINE. West Bound: No. 59 a. in No.

tf Time and Method idrr Widely Varying Conditions. By C. P. HARTLEY. Throughout all the corn growing sections of the country it is the general experience that corn planted early most often gives the best yield.

In the northern states there is little choice as to time of planting. Corn must be planted as soon as the ground is sufficiently warm in order that it may mature before early fall frosts. In the southern states the growing season is long enough to allow planting at different dates, thus lessening the likelihood of having the entire crop cut short by drought. Growing conditions are more favorable in the spring, and corn usually produces better if planted at that time. Although the southern summers are long enough to afford plenty of warm weather, corn planted in the summer will rijien in loss time and usually produce less than if planted in the spring.

Fields planted early frequently escape attacks of the bud worm, while later plantings of the same year suffer severely. As the result of many years' trials at different state experiment stations, the best planting season has been found to be respectively: Middle Georgia, March 13 to L0; Illinois. May 11 to 18; middle Indiana, May 1 to 11; Kansas, May South Dakota. May 10 to 20. Coin should, of course, not be planted in cold or wet ground simply because the calendar shows that the usual planting time has arrived.

But by good drainage, fall plowing, every farmer should strive to have his laud in' good condition to plant at the proper time. The Cheek Itower. Perhaps more corn is now planted by means of a chock rower than by any other device. This implement is adjustable so that the spacing of the rows and the distance between the plants or hills in the row can be regulated to suit the requirements of the soil. By means of a wire chain stretched across a field one man and team can plant in straight rows in boih directions across the field twelve or fifteen acres per day, thus admitting of cross cultivation.

Corn planted in this way can he kept free from weeds and well cultivated without costly hoeing or cutting of weeds. A summary of tests made by various experiment stations shows that there is practically no difference in yield of corn planted in hills of several stalks each or drilled so that the stalks stand separately in the rows, provided there is the same number of stalks per acre 1 if each case. The former system facilitates cultivation, and the latter provides for a more equal distribution of the roots throughout the soil. Check rowers are best adapted 1o large, comparatively level fields free from trees or stumps. Hillsides and sloping ground cannot be planted in check rows without increasing the liability to soil washing.

This may be at different ages and weights, thus giving us prime heavy hogs and prime, heavy, medium and light butchers, ranging in weight from 500 down to 200 pounds. Quality.

By quality is meant the characteristic that is indicated by a medium sized, fine, clean cut head without any surplus fat or wrinkles of skin; medium sized ears of fine texture; hair that is fine, straight and silky and lies close to the body; skin that is smooth, pliable and free from wrinkles; tail that is smooth, nicely tapering and not too large; bone that is fine, firm and free from undue coarseness at the joints, as indicated in tho legs; shoulders that In the case of boars have not too large development of shields and by a symmetrical, smooth development throughout the entire body in short, such points of refinement in form and features as are characteristic of well bred swine. Form. The form of a prime butcher hog is that of an Ideal fat or lard hog viz, broad back, wide and well filled hams and shoulders, short, thick neck, heavy jowls and short legs. The hog must have these parts well developed and at the same time be symmetrical, smooth and compact. Together with this form there must be an indication of quality, such as goes only with good breeding and good feeding.

Condition. Condition is a greater factor than either form or quality in determining the grade to which a fat hog belongs. By condition is meant the degree of fatness. Trime butcher hogs must be well covered with a thick layer of fat ou the outside of the carcass, be well rounded out at the rump, thus making a socket In which the tail is set, be well filled out on the neck up to the face, have a broad, fat back, with much fat on sides and on belly, and be well filled in flanks and in twist. Besides this they' must be free ftfoui flabblness and show a firm, even and symmetrical development R.

Crop Bound Fowls. The ordinary poultrymau sometimes blunders into a successful job of opening the crop, removing the contents and stitching up the opening again, but oftener in the hands of an inexperienced person it is a fatal operation, says a Rural Xew Yorker correspondent. A man with whom I was talking recently said that he had found and practiced a much better way of relieving a fowl of an indigestible lot of food. He simply brings the fountain syringe into use. Putting on the largest nozzle and taking the fowl under the left arm, he inserts the nozzle and lets as much water pass in the crop as will.

Removing the nozzle, he applies lateral pressure to the crop and at the lower side alternately. Soon the contents begin to come out. After some is removed he again inserts the nozzle, and there is increased room for water. Taking it out, he again adds pressure to the crop, and so on till the crop is empty. This man said that he treated 125 capons in this Avay within a period of about ten He fed them one morning a mess of shredded beet with meal stirred in.

Thinking to add a quantity of ginger, he put in white hellebore instead. Every one was saved and ready for breakfast the next morning. FOIl SALE: Tnree quarters Iron bed springs and mattress for sale. Same as new-will be sold dheap. Inquire Mrs.

Sowing: CloTer Seed. There seems to be an impression among many farmers that as clover is a soil enricher it may be sown on any wornout soil with success. The mistake is that many do not understand that the clover plant requires a large quantity of mineral fertilizer in order to succeed and that the soil must be depended upon to supply this fertilizer. Potash 'and phosphoric acid are both essential to the growth of legumes as well as other crops. The air does not supply these elements.

A sweet soil which contains plenty of available phosphoric acid and potash is essential to success with clover. If the soil is acid the tubercles will not develop upon the roots, and the clover will be very weak and will soon die. If the soli is ncld it may be sweetened by applying lime liberally. Cor.
