(By WATNE DINSMORE.)
A man’s first duty, outside of his
duty to the nation. Is to his family. He
Is under solemn obligations to protect
and provide for those given Into his

and From light and One-Half '
to Ten Inehea Long.
1. A good ear ahould be cylindrical
or nearly to. It should ba full and
strong In ths middle portion, and the
circumference should be approximate
ly three-quarters of the length. The
rows of kernels should ba straight,
and not laaa than sixteen nor more
than twenty-two In number. The ear
should ba from sight and one-half to

I. Tbs color of the grain ahould be
true to variety, even In shade, and

3. The tip should not be too ta

straight rows of regular kernels of
uniform sisa and shape. j
4. Open, swelled, expended, flat
tened and pinched butts are objection
able. The rows of kernels should ex

of the cob, leaving a depression when
the shank is removed.
5. The shape of the kernel should
conform to the variety standard. The
tips of the kernels should be full and
Btrong. leaving no space between them
near the cob. Toward the crowns,
the edges of the kernels should be so
shaped as to leave merely enough
space between the rows to facilitate
drying. Shrunken or pointed tips and
badly rounded crowns are objection
able. The crowns of the kernels

of Florida Test.
Four Berkshire sows kept at the
Florida Experiment station farm dur
ing the past year farrowed twice in
that time, producing a total of thirty
pigs in July and thirty-one the next
spring.
From the thirty pigs farrowed in
July, 1910, twenty-six grew to matue
ity. Of the thirty-one farrowed dur
ing February and March, 1911, twenty
seven were saved. During the year
the four sows farrowed sixty-one pigs
and saved fifty-three, or 87 per cent
of the pigs farrowed.
These four sows were farrowed in

Our northern states have witnessed.
In the past decade, an emigration from
the farm to the cities, that has
alarmed our best agricultural authori
ties, who deplore the tendency of the
landowners and their children to re
move to the cities.
This draft from the country to the
city has been studied carefully by
leading educators, and their conclu
sion Is that it Is because of a revolt
against the working conditions on the
majority of farms. The average city

A large proportion of farmers also
have an eight-hour day—but It is

Has Your Horse the “Shivers7”
A horse with the “shivers" Is a
■nighty uncomfortable creature, and
Is always an easy victim to the Influ
enza bug. Perhaps the stable is damp
or drafty. More likely it Is lacking In
ventilation, and no purifying rays of
sunshine reach Its Interior. In such
case the stock breathe over and over

May, 1908, and had their first litter of
pigs during November, 1909. The sows
were therefore well grown and devel
oped when first bred. Good breeding
stock is often Injured by being bred
when too young and immature. Young
immature sows are likely to farrow
pigs lacking in vitality. Such pigs
never grow and develop ag they
should, and hence are more expensive
to raise.

to them. The Leghorn family have
the reputation of being the best lay

A team of horses is just as much
entitled to one day’s rest in seven as

Never hire a cheap man to work a
good pair of horses. It will mean
loss every time.
After a pig weighs 80 or 90 pounds
he should be kept busy putting on at
least^a pound per day.
The sow that is so clumsy or ner

A good shocker is worth two or
three times as much as he gets. A
