We would ndvise swine breeders to
cull more cIom Iv than has been the
practice. We think that at least one
third should be culled, and if half could
be culled out it would be better. We
have known breeders who have sold
every male in the herd for breeding
purposes, even where they got as low
as four or five dollars head for them.
Tbis is a mistake. It is not only a detri
ment to the business, but necessarily
lowers the standard. The quality of
pigs sold for breeding purposes should
be up to a good standard and they
should be sold a t a profit above what the
pig would be worth for the pork barrel.
All pigs sold for breeding purpjees
should have excellent bone, reasonably
well marked, free from swirls, and have
a good, breedy appearance. They
should not only possess good action, but
should be fcrntle, und of kind dispoii.

BEES ON THE FARM.
They Are K.werta Ml Sssae Llses ea
AarrleaJtwrml Work.
When one thinks of the importsnt
part plaved by bees in agriculture one
cannot help wondering why the experi
ment stations of the I nited States pay
so little attention to beekeeping.
do not recall a single station where bee
keeping is carried on st all. The Khode
Island station has a department devot
ed to poultry and bees, but if memory
serves, that has been abandoned.
Honey bees and the bumble bees are
extort iu some lines of agricultural
work that men do not very well under
stand, and could not succeed in if ih".v
tried ever so hard. They do a ery im
portant work, aud do it for nothing,
boaruiug themselves in the meantime.
If it were uot for bees we would uot
have large fruit crojss, if we did not ex
perience entire failures. At the time
when fruit trees are in bloom there are
but few insects abroad, awl if the bees
do not i-sit the blossoms iu search of
honey, the fruit would ueer mature, as
it woulu not be pollenized.
If it were not lor the work of bees we
could not grow clover, and this impor
tant i Top would I unknown. Soiuqior
tsnl is tuis that large sums of money
have been spent to import aees iuto
Austraba in order that ekner might be
grow n there.
Hone; bees follow ciiilizalion and are
uuknown where civilized man has not
taken up his residence. The; are co
ksksMMa with the pioneer, and help him
to conquer the wilderness and in the
introduction of improved fruits and
crops.
Kirrv home owner, from the villager
to the uonauza farmer, should keep
bees, for the help the; are to agricul
ture alone. The business of bee-kcep-iiur
is nut well understood even by ex-
-
pcrts and there is a great opportunity
for COOa STUta iroill law espeiuueni aaar-
tions in promoting a wider knowledge
and a greater interest in bee-keeping,
an industry that might be indefinite!;
extended with profit to those who keep
them, and to those w hose field the; ro'im
oier in search of kunc .Tanners'

There are two ways iti which stable
manure is most likely to be wasted.
One. the most obvious, is the wasting
by rains, which will wash away all that
i- soluble in it. Hut the other, less
