Farm Notes.

Any kind of cheap paint on farm
buildings is better than none, as the oil
will assist in preserving the wood and
preventing warping.
1t requires skill to winter bees prop
erly. They should be kept we'll pro-
tected from severe cold, but not in
location that allows them to become
too warm in the hive should a change
of weather occur
DR.. kedsie, the well-knOwn chemist,
thinks mistake has been made by
farmers in not using screenings for
food. In proportion to cost he con-
siders such food cheaper than wheat,
and recommends that screening and
bran be fed to all classes OF stock.
If the food is diminished and animals
become poor the amount of food re-
quired to get them in good condition
will be greater than the amount of
food served in an attempt to econo-
mize. Keep the stock always in the
best condition, and tine cost of mainte-
nance will be lessened.
The growth Of the mutton breeds of
sheep, when carefully managed and
highly fed, is in marked contrast with
the wool breeds.
The amount of butter and milk pro-
duced by COW should be measured by
its cost II is trne that hinh feedinn is
necessary to induce large yields, but the
fact remains that some cows will give
better results on q certain amount of
food than with others. A careful 40
count of the food allowed each animal
will show which COW is the more profit
able. The proportions of cost to re-
ceipts alone can determine the actual
profit made, and in many cases it hap
pens that a COW may yield largely and
yet be not as valuable as another not
so productive, but which yields more
in proportion to expense entailed.
A great deal is now said about lack
of success in farming. No plant issu-
ing from any class OF people in the
country is so general as that coming
from farmers.
Handling the celery is the profess
sional phrase for drawing up the
leaves and pressing a little earth
around them so as to keep them in an
erect position, preparatory to earthing
up. Care is necessary in all opera
tions to keep the earth out Of the CEN
ter or growing portions OF the plants.
The sweeter cider is the stronger
will be the vinegar, but the slower it
will be in making, unless the process
is hastened either by mixing with full
ly matured vinegar, or turning from
one barrel to another to expose to air.
This can be best done by iltering slow
ly through hard wood or other shay
ings having no resinous or offensive
odor
Butter takes less from the soil than
anything else produced on The farm.
Milk carries from the farm, when sold,
the nitrogen and mineral elements OF
its composition, but butter, being car
bonaceous principally, does not contain
the fertilizing elements of the soil. Fol
lowing the growth OF plants, and their
conversion into milk and butter, it
may truly be said that butter, through
the many agencies, is derived from the
air, as the leaves of plants appropriate
the carbonic acid of the air as food, re-
tanning the carbon.

The Story of William Tell.

In the Aryan myths are many fascin-
ating and really beautiful legends.
Among them is the story of William
Tell, with which all are familiar. Tell
is represented as hunter in Switzer-
land. His wife, it is said, was daugh-
ter of William Furst, who, with others,
led the conspiracy of the Gruth in 1907,
which gave rise to Swiss independence.
Gessler was the Austrian bailiff, and
one day he caused his hat to be placed
on pole in the market place, and then
commanded all the people to bow be-
fore it.
William Tell said: mo, 1 will not
bow before the cap of a tyrant like
Gessler.n For this he was arrested,
locked up in cell and sentenced to
death. He was very skillful with the
bow and arrow, and Gessler consented
to spare mis- life if he would shoot an
apple from the head of his own little
boy.
1t was very trying ordeal, but the
brave hunter accomplished the feat
successfully. But just before he sent
the arrow he had hastily concealed an
other arrow in his bosom. why did
you do ftp" asked Gessier.
ITO shoot YOU" said Tell, ''nad 1
harmed my son."
Then he was again arrested and put
in chains, but he managed to escape,
and afterward ne killed the cruel Ges-
sler, shooting him with an arrow.
This is the story, but investigation
shows that it is not truly story" as
the children say, but an old tradition
handed down from long-ago time.

A Nameless Grave,

"A soldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscription on an unknown grave
At Newport News, beside the salt sea
wave,
Nameless and dateless, sentinel or scout
Shot down in skirmish or disastrous rout
OF battle, when the loud artillery drave
The iron wedges through the ranks OF
brave
And doomed battalions storming the re-
doubt.
Thou unknown hero sleeping by the sea
In thy forgotten grave! with secret shame
l feel my pulses beat, my forhead burn,
W hen l remember thou hast given for me
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name
And l can give thee nothing in return.

Medical Women.

There are 8, 900 medical women in the
United States whose incomes range
from $1,000 to $4,000 year. The
number is increasing every year, and
the supply of ''lady doctors bids fair
to be as great as that of the male
physicians. Austria is the only civiliz-
ed country in the world which prohib-
its women from entering the medical
profession. Russia and China permit
them, aud the queens of Italy and
Roumania employ women physicians.
Women are petitioning the Austrian
government to open the doors OF the
medical colleges to them, and the en-
press has been urged to assist N. I.
Sun.

Buy Tools.

For want of tools and material to
work with many boys grow up without
the least knowledge of their use, and
consequently without the development
of any mechanical ability they may
naturally have been possessed OF.
Every farmers boy should have a
knowledge of practical mechanics, so
far, at least, as they apply to agricul-
ture. And he should have an oppor-
tunity of acquiring the skill needed in
their application to various depart
ments of farm work. The work shop
is a great practical educator, and
should be a permanent institution on
every farm.

The EnsiIaee Process.

As some of our readers may never
have had an acquaintance with 'agri-
cultural engineering" a few words as
to what a .'silon is may not be amiss.
According to all the ordinary pro-
cesses of preserving fodder for use in
winter months, the grass or grain has
to stand until near maturity, before
cutting, at which stage much of its
nutritious matter has been converted
into useless woody fibre. In preserv-
ing fodder by the ensilage process, the
plants are cut while they are still very
green. Indian corn is generally pre-
ferred as giving the largest yield. A
pit is excavated, 10 to - feet deep,
and walled and floored with concrete.
The green fodder brought in from the
field is run through a cutter, which
slices it into pieces about one-half inch
in length; and it falls from the cutter
into the pit, where it is trodden down
and packed as closely as possible.
When full, a tight floor is laid on top
and weight of several tons is placed
upon it. The green fodder, filled with
a great amount of saccharine sap, soon
begins to ferment and gives off suttici-
ent carbonic acid gas to eXpel all air
from the pit. Being thus deprived of
all atmospheric influence, the green
fodder is preserved in almost the same
state as when first placed in the pit,
for an indefinite time. The process
was first introduced in this country
from France about fifteen years ago,
and when correctly carried out has
been very successful.

The Scrub Farmer.

The readers OF the agricultural jour
nails are becoming familiar with tho
heading, The Scrub Must Co. says
the Omaha World. There has been q
general attack made on the poor scrub
all along the line, and it has been so
effective that his most intimate friends
have failed to stand by him when his
character and reputation have been as
sailed publicly.
We have always looked upon the
scrub animal with more pity and COM
passion than upon his scrub owner.
The facts are as the scrub farmer gives
way to the improved methods of agri-
culture, the scrub animal is brought up
from his lowly state OF existence by
these very same Influences. Many OF
the finest floclzs and herds in the coun-
try are only Il few generations from
the scrub. One of the best and most
uniform flocks of sheep We ever saw
was only four generations from the
scrub

3OO-Dav Pigs Old Enough.

The above figures represent so many
days for the profitable growth of pork.
1t is now a maxim that ten months is
as long as pigs should be fed. The
corn consumed after this age seldom
realizes 20 cents q bushel. We mean,
of course, straight barrows and gifts
intended for pork. Stays and brood
sows can sometimes be fattened on
grain at a fair profit. But there is
better profit on pork at Z to 10 months
of age in nearly every case than in
older hogs. 1t is n matter of prudence
to sell early, as every mosth increases
the risk of disease. If properly
handled until months old there is
more gain made in the ratio of food
eaten in the 213 days than in a larger
feeding period. The science of breed
ing, however, has much to do with
successful ea rly growth, as is true of
all live stock growth.
