Tlio pccdinjr of wheat is one of tlie most important matter.3! connected with growing the crop. The prepara tion of the saeilbcd shouul be thorough. A larse jield can only bo secured when the wheat receives a good start. One of tire farmers who received a prize for an extraordinary yield was asked to explain the cause of his success. He remarked that, while he used both manure, and fertilizers, he always harrowed his laud twelve times. (Many farmers may not consider it accessary to use the harrow as often as stated, but there is no doubt of the fact that thorough harrowing of he soil will greatly assist In increas ing the yield of a wheat crop. Tlobbln? Fa rum and Families. The Amerieaa Phnep Breeder says "that it is quite possible that an ounce of mixed food, such as corn and oats ground together, willi an equal quan tity of wheat middling or bran, will add an ounce or more to the weight of lambs after they are four weeks old, it given daily in addition to other pro per food, and as they grow older this amount may be Increased, with nearly a corresponding increase in weight gained. To exchange a pound of grain, costing about one cent, for a pound of lamb worth fifteen cents seems to be a trade that almost any farmer would he willing to make, but we have seen those who boasted that they never bought any grain. Thcj did not raise lambs or chickens, sold but HlIIo and bought less and saved money, but we would not have accept ed their farms and the money they bad accumulated and agreed to make the farm as good as it was when they received It. Such farmers are usually robbers, robbing the land of its fertil ity, robbing their families of the com forts of life, and their children of tha pleasures of youth and nearly all that Is desirable In life, unless the children forsake the farm and establish a home where they may earn more, expend snore and enjoy more of life. Cutting: Up a IToj-. After the hog lias been killed and cleaned, cut down on each side of the backbone with a sharp hatchet, then with a few cuts with the knife at the lower part loosen the leaf lard, pull it op ward and take it out. Begin at the ttreast bone and with the aid of a knife take out the ribs. Itun a knife flown between the lean and fat meat of the backbone. By the aid of splints spread the hog to its full width and allow it to hang until it has thorough ly cooled. The- accompanying dia gram will show jr. st how the carcass is cut. If the animal is a very heavy one cut the sides apart, then take off tue shoulder, then the side meat and finally the ham. By taking it down in pieces in this manner I can handle a heavy hog myself. E. Esterley, in Or ange Judd Farmer. IIott T-.Hm' Feet!isr Has C'li;uis;el. In speaking of the changes that have taken place in the raising and feeding of lambfj the Sheep Breeder says that It used to be that the ewe reared the lamb, and on nothing more than the pasture provided. Now the bulk of the lamb crop goes to market before the end of the first year, and with less than a year's feeding we get all the profit made by the ancient method of three years. But this feeding is a eeientine process, and is based on new Information, and equally on new in troduced foods. For Instance, we hoav feed our lambs on rape, one of the most valuable of all green fodders and one by which more growth is made at less cost than from any other feed. At the fame time Ave have cottonseed roe?l, which is the cheapest nutriment we can supply to a feeding animal, and which, if mixed in equal propor tions with bran to dilute somewhat Jta exce?sive concentrations, we may be gin to use when the Iambs are a month old. All that needs to be done is to provide a separate pen into which the wes cannot enter, but the lambs may creep and furnish it with a shallow feed trough, and once the lambs tind their way into it they will feed thr-ni selves and grow and make such a solid frame, to be afterward built upon by iho rape feeding, as gives as much growth in nine months as used to ba rcaoe ia twite that time.
