He raised many hogs and fed them liberally to his slaves. When only seven, years old I fell in love with a little blue sow shcat owned by a wealthy gentleman. I asked him to give me the shoat. To my joy he smilingly replied, Well, Georgie, you shall have her. I carried her to my fathers house and soon found that he. too, was in love with the little blue sow.

Your readers will understand that there is quite a difference between a and a breeder. My operations for many years were confined to native breeds or but I found that this genus was not responsive. Development was slow and tedious. I could get nothing to come up to my ideals and I abandoned the task, believing the breed to be susceptible to no satisfactory development. Today the best I can say for any specimen of razor-bacis that he is better than no hog. Like his owner, he has no past nor future he just exists by chance and fills, for the present, the space he happens to fall into when evolved from the womb of fortuity, You have heard something of late of this hogs good qualities his iron constitution, his power to resist disease and his ability to secure his own food, etc. Now, any one who is familiar with the breed knows that he is not constituted or made to have a constitution. He has no good, solid back, no heart girth, no roomy sides to promote digestion. As to his power to resist disease he is woefully deficient, on the contrary if there is disease near or far his roving disposition leads him to ferret it out. lie catches on and it holds on. Any hog will secure his food if it is convenient. No honest man wants a hog that will secure his own food dishonestly that is by breaking into his neighbors fields. If I should exhibit a specimen before competent judges the verdict would be, he is made to get further and that he can do to perfection. You know there is much talk about the bacon hog. Some breeders imagine crossed that a Florida razor-bac- k on their blooded sows will give them the hog for which the near future holds demand. Let the rich man experiment, let the poor man watch and s wait. Turn a boar shoat with a lot of queenly gilts on a western farm and the breeder will have to burn out to get clear of the taint. I have experimented with all the popular breeds and have found good qualities in all, and the Poland-Chin- a hog to be the best for my use. I believe this hog to be the best for the south, though no blooded hog can be kept to his normal size in the south. With proper care, pasture and feed, however, he will be profitable and large enough, though not so large as in his native section. If I had space I could explain, but it is well that it is so. I think we ought to be satisfied with our cotton, and let our western brothers breed and raise large hogs and have a good living when they earn it. I would not, if I could, raise all the cotton and large hogs and leave my brothers destitute. I rejoice in their success and bemoan my fate.

He it revolved and enacted by the Legislature Of j ,, about the depth Then water the boxes and place some glass over them and tell them why you do this. After awhile when the plants come up it will be necessary to transplant them to the beds. Call their attention to the different kinds of roots that plants have, and tell them that plants with long tap roots are more difficult to transplant and require the greatest care in transplanting. Show the children how to make the holes in the bed large enough to allow the roots to spread out, and not be cramped; then after putting the plant in, pour a little water around the root, that will cause the rootlets to spread ou: in a natural position, and the moisture will be retained longer just where it is needed than it would he if the water were poured on top arouni the plant after the work was done. Then press the earth gently but firmly around it to exclude the air from the roots, and do not forget to water it and shield it from the direct rays of the sun for awhile. For plants with long tap roots, take a round stick like a lead pencil to make the holes in the ground with, then pour water in the hole and proceed in the same way as for the other plants. So many make a failure of transplanting. Be sure to have some vines, those up and those that grow down, to teach them to love grace as well as beauty. Show them that some vines wind from left to right and others from right to left, and teach them the lessons connected with it. Besides, calling attention to all these little things quickens the childs power of observation. Then there are so many beautiful legends connected with the flowers, the legend of the lily and the rose, the story of the pansy, the violet, and so forth, which all appeal to the moral nature of the child, would be so much more interesting to children if they raised the flowers themselves, for so many children in the country do not have flowers at home. What more impressive way could be found to teach the lesson of the resurrection than to plant the seed in the cold, damp ground, and after a time to see it spring up into a thing of life and beauty? Then the window garden, too, would be a source of pleasure. Of course very few country schools are warm enough to keep plants in the winter, but they could be kept as long as possible. Horticulture includes the cultivation of vegetables as well as flowers, but with the limited space in the school yard, the cultivation of vegetables would be almost impracticable, but if such a thing were possible the vegetables might be sold and the proceeds used for something for the school,' thereby teaching them thrift and economy, for it would take an accumulation of several seasons to Fifteen or twenty amount to much. minutes each day devoted to horticulture would accomplish a great deal. It would not be necessary for the entire school to take part at once, unless the school was a small one, only part at a time, but have each one take part at it some time. Then I would suggest that the school subscribe for some good magazine on horticulture and read it, and not only read it, but practice the good hints contained in it. Why teach horticulture in the rural school? Because it is a source of pleasure, because it quickens the perceptive powers of the child, and creates the power of observation, and because it inculcates good morals. How? Teach it by experience and reading. that grow . MRS. Jo Daviess Co., MARY VINCENT. 111. Lome Smut of tVhat. The season just past seems to have been unusually favorable to the development of fungous diseases. This is especially true with reference to the loose smut of wheat and oats. Owing to this fact, numerous Inquiries come to the station in regard to method for its prevention. At ent it is well known that th have some pres- loose smut of wheat and other cereals Is caused by a minute fungus, which enters the plant vhile very young and lives inside its tissues, developing its fruit or spores in the head of the growing wheat, this development taking place at the expense or the wheat kernels themselves. The spores as they ripen are carried by currents of air to adjoining plants, thus infecting the seed for the coming year, or they are washed off by rains into the soil, where they may also infect the next season's crop. In this connection it Is well to observe the following precautionary measures, which will mitigate much cf tiie 1st That the seed shall be taken from wheat fields free from smut. 2d Sow on boil not previously iuiected with smut spores. Treatment of seed. Since the plants are infected by this fungus in the very early stages of their growth, it is evident that no treatment of the plants in the field will prevent the devedop-rneof the smut, lienee the necessity of treating the seed. The ordinary hot water treatment, as recommended for the stinking snnit of wheat and the loose smut of oats has nof proved an efficient preventive of the loose smut of wheat, hence it has not been employed by the station to any extent. A recent bulletin (lT. S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin No. 75), by Swingle, however, prescribes a method of hot water treatment for the loose smut of wheat which, it is This claimed, has proved efficient. method, which is to receive a thorough trial at the station this coming season, is as follows: The seed, en closed in coarse gunny sack3 or opn baskets, is soaked four hours iu cold water. It is then removed and allowed to stand in the wet sacks about four hours. The enclosed seed is then dipped in a vessel containing water at 110 and 120 degrees Fah., and after a moment it is lifted, allowed to drain a little and then dipped again. This operation should be repeated several times. The object of this preparatory treatment is to bring each seed in contact with the warm water, and the whole time consumed should not exceed a minute. The sacks of seed should then be plunged in water at 132 degrees Fah., for five minutes, care being exercised in maintaining this temperature within a degree or two throughout the operation, as well as to keep the seed constantly stirred. To maintain the temperature it is necessary to have a third vessel containing boiling water, by the addition of which to vessel No. 2 a uniform temperature may be maintained. The thermometer used should be an accurate one. It has been found that quite a percentage of the seed is killed by this treatment, hence it is recommore seed be mended that William used per acre in planting.

RATES CONFERENCE Via Rio Grande Western Railway. For the Annual Conference, L. D.

After every damp harvest as the present has been in most localities, the grain goes into the barn with its straw not so thoroughly dried out as it should he, says American Cultivator. There is also considerable dampness in the grain itself, and this will probably cause heating of the grain in the mow. With spring grain this does not matter much, for the grain will be pretty sure to dry out when freezing But whenever cold weather comes. winter grain is grown the seed for next harvest has to be selected from the present years crop, and this often means the premature threshing of the winter grain and using it while still damp as seed. To this fact is probably to be attribuleil the common belief among farmers that old wheat and rye are better for seed than new. In the old grain the freezing of winter and the subsequent thawing have made the seed nearly wholly free of moisture. Yet all these experiences are not absolutely necessary. If the grain is thoroughly dried in the fall that it is grown, it is not only as fit but more fit for seed than it is after being dried out by winter freezing, wherein its germinating powers are more apt to be injured than they are by being thoroughly dried out the previous fall. We have heretofore advised the greatest care for drying seed grain for fall sowing. But it is far better, we believe, to thoroughly dry the seed even by artificial means. We have over and over again dried seed grain in fruit evaporators such as are used for drying apples, and always with the best results in a large proportion grown of the seed that was sown. We believe that it is best to dry all grain used as seed by the heat of fire; it may be by braiding the seed corn and hanging it beside the chimney, so as to secure the heat of the kitchen fire, but however it is dried, the seed that has fire heat to dry it is sure to produce the most vigorous growth and the largest crop of grain.
