One day of travel after a heavy rain, then a freeze-up, does more to put the farm farther from the town than anything else. Now is a good time to visit the neighbors who are feeding ensilage and get some information “right off the bat’”’ as to its value as feed and also as to the work of handling. What became of the denatured al- cohol that was to revolutionize about everything as soon as the bill allow- ing its manufacture was passed? As far as this vicinity is concerned it has failed to revolute worth a cent. In the south they pay a great deal of attention to what they call winter cover crops. The idea is not to leave the fields bare over winter. In the north nature covers the earth with snow. Here, where it is neither ‘north nor south, strictly speaking, we are “betwixt and between.” One \fall accidental fire burned off the corner of a meadow for me. It was noticed that the grass was not nearly as good on the burnt-over portion the following summer, indicating that the “cover crop,’’ even if it be only the aftermath on the meadow, is of great benefit. I find that rabbits will sometimes the orchard, three and four year olds. Aman is on the safe side only by wrapping everything in the sapling stage. Some of the manufucturers refuse to place their goods on the market when prices are so low their profits are cut down, but a farmer with in- terest and taxes and other debts to meet cannot do that. If it has cost him forty cents a bushel to raise corn 'and he can sell for only thirty-five, he is told that he should reduce his cost of corn growing, and thus makea profit. Queer world, this. The longer I raise hogs the more I am convinced that selling corn in the form of pork is the best way. The hog raiser has his ups and downs, to be sure, such as eras of low prices or loss from’ cholera, but, year after year, theré’s money in hogs. Recently, a subscriber to this paper inquired about inbreeding hogs. Since his inquiry appeared I have had some experience with inbred pigs. There were two litters of them, and while apparently all right when far- rowed, they began going “at the rate ‘of one or twoa night, and now only four out of fourteen are left.
