Our Agricultural Exports.

According to report of the statis-
tician of the department. of agriculture.
about one-tenth of our agricultural prod.
ucts is exported. The sum is, however,
made up from very few articles. These
are cotton, tobacco, meats, breadstuffs
and cheese. Seven-tenths of the cotton
product goes to foreign markets. All
other articles, except those above stated.
when put together are but per cent. of
the exports. The expectation of tobacco
is not increasing materially or so rapidly
as home consumption. More cheese could
be sold if its reputation for quality should
be kept up and there were more disposi-
ton to cater to fastidious or peculiar
foreign tastes. Butter exports could be
made larger if they were of better quail
ity. Our great American crop-corn-
is chiefly consumed on the spot, not more
than one-sixth, it is said. going beyond
the boundary of the county in which it
is grown, and only to per cent. being
now exported. Nearly two-thirds of this
crop is produced in seven states-Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska. few others producing
more than is required at home, and the
larger portion having deficiency to be
supplied by those seven states.

Professor Cook says on this subject in
his book on bee keeping: It is safe to
purchase any time in the summer. In
April or May (of course you will pur-
chase very strong stocks), if IN the lati-
tude of New York or Chicago-it viii be
earlier further south-you viii be able
to pay more, as you will secure the in
crease of both honey and bees. If you
desire to purchase in autumn that you
may gain the experience of wintering,
either demand that the one of whom
you purchase insure the safe uniting of
the bees, or else that he reduce the sell
ing price at least one-third from his
rates the next April. Otherwise the
novice had better purchase in the spring
If you are to transfer at once, it is de-
sirable that you buy in the spring, as it
is vexatious, especially for the beginners,
to transfer when the hives are crowded
with brood and honey.

Arc Incubators Profttahls2

Are incubators profitable? The answer
to this much vexed question remains the
same as last year-namely, yes and no.
Under favorable conditions such as a
superior machine, good eggs, and an intel
hgent and above all patient management
-incubators have been made profitable;
otherwise there is more money in the hen
Mr.. George Q. Dow is one of the authori-
ties On poultry matters who think the
artificial incubators are not profitable.
}. Z. Fleck is another stern defender of
the hen and skeptical concerning incuba-
tors and incubated chicks. An authority
in The Fanciers' Journal gets at the real
issue in the remark that there is really
more in the proper rearing of the incu-
bator chicks after they are Matched than
in the Matching. He says: .We hatch
chickens by both hen and incubator, and
reiterate the statement that artificially
hatched and reared chickens will lay as
well, feel as well and score as well as
those raised by natures Methods

Things Told by Bee Keepers.
Doolittle says: If you wish large
yield of section honey keep prolific
queens and let the brood combs alone
after they are once filled with brood in
the spring.
An English correspondent advises that
tea leaves in pan of water be kept for
drinking places for bees.
DR.. c. G. Miller says in Gleanings in
Bee Culture: Bees IN cellars are always
quieter-at least mine are-just after a
windy time, whether cold or warm. A
still, muggy time is worst. Don't tell
me cellars need no ventilation.
Farm, Stock and Home advises in
painting hives that dark colors be avoid
ed, for in extreme hot weather the combs
in such hives win melt down, while in a
hive that is painted white no damage
viii be done.
Bees serve as active agents IN the fer
thzation Of plants, and it is generally
conceded that they are not destructive 10

In reply to the query, s.How do you
keep brood combs when not in useg' the
editor of The American Bee Journal
says: The bees will take care of the
empty combs in the summer season bet
ter than you can do it, In winter they
should be boxed up tightly, after being
thoroughly fumigated with sulphur, if
they have any moth germs in them.

Manurinr orchar,is.

W. Sommerville todd at the Minnesota
Horticultural society that he mauured
his bearing orchard every year at the
rate of forty loads to the acre, mulching
thoroughly. He has trees that have
stood twenty-eight years that are as
healthy as they were twenty years ago.
He sold four tons of apples this season
from an orchard seven by nine rods in
size. With this manuring his trees bear
every year. Producing fruit tends to
exhaust tree, and hence the importance
of feeding bearing trees, while cultiva-
ton only of young ones may be sufficient.

NEWS NOTES AND EXPERIENCES IN
COUNTRY LIFE.

A Report of Experiments Made with the
Use OF the Land Roller at the wiscon-
.ia AgricuItnEA Experamens Station In
Ordinary Fislds Culture. -
A report from the Wisconsin expert
ment station gives the results of investi-
CATION into the effect of rolling on both
land and crops. The work was done in
ordinary field culture in different locali-
ties with the following results:
st-Rolling land makes the temper
ature of the soil at 1.5 inches below the
surface from 4 to Q degs. Fahrenheit
warmer than similar unrolled ground in
the same locality, and at three inches
from to degs. warmer.
Second-Rolling land by frming the
soil increases its power of drawing wa
ter to the surface from below, and this
influence has been observed to extend to
\ depth of three to four feet.
Third-The evaporation of moisture
ID more rapid from rolled than from un-
rolled ground, unless the surface soil is
very wet, and then the reverse is true,
and the drying effect of rolling has been
found to extend to depth of four feet
Fourth-In cases of broadcast seeding
termination is more rapid and more
complete on rolled than on unrolled
ground, and the following differences in
the completeness of germination have
been observed: For oats, Az, 4. 10 and
11-35 per cent; for peas. 35.7 per cent !;
for barley. 1913, and for clover, 1-2 per
cent, and 68.7 per cent. greater on the
rolled than on the unrolled ground.
These differences are greatest when dry
weather, and least when copious rains
follow seeding.
Fifth-In the experiment on oats re-
ported in full, the yield per acre stood
61- 10 bushels ON the rolled ground and
$500 bushels on the unrolled ground.
Sixth-The size of the kernel was
larger on the rolled than on the unrolled
ground.
Seventh-The oats from the rolled
ground weighed %. 25 pounds per bushel,
and those from the unrolled 26 80 pounds
per bushel.
Eighth-The oats from the rolled con-
tanned at the time of cutting II. 80 per
cent of water, and those from the un-
rolled ground 11.31 per cent

Glover Rust.

OF this disease, which differs from two
other diseases of the red and white
clover of minor importance, it is said
that it has not been long known in
America, but has prevailed to such an
extent during the several wet, cool sea-
sons preceding 1890 in many sections of
the northern states that it must be re-
garded as one liable to affect seriously
under conditions favorable to its devel-
opsnent this agricultural crop In the
scientific discussion of this parasite,
which is found in bulletin of the bo-
tanical division of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station of Cornell university,
while the description of its different
forms and stages will no doubt be read
lily understood by botanists and mycolo-
gists, it will not be 80 easily compre-
hended by farmers.
As a summary of the matter, so far as
it has been investigated it is assuring
to be told: First-That the early crop of
red clover is not likely to suffer injury
from the rust Second-As the second
crop is likely to suffer greatly if the mid
summer is cool, and as clover becomes a
valuable fertilizer when plowed in, the
fields should be carefully watched in
such seasons, and the crop might be
plowed under to advantage. Third
Burning the clover fields in the fall
would probably have some effect in
checking the spread of the disease DUR
ing the next season, but the application
OF fungicides seems impracticable

"A Home Made Brooder.

Here is the description Of q simple
brooder which will accommodate 100
chicks for period of four to six weeks:
Take four boards 10 inches wide and
or 81 feet long. Nail them together so
as to form q box without top or bottom.
Cover the top with sheet iron nailed
down. Over the sheet iron and around
the outside nail inch strips one and a
half inches wide, leaving space an inch
wide at each of the four corners. Now
put on another cover of boards, which
win form the floor of your brooder. In
the center of this floor bore an inch or
m inch and half hole. and insert a tin
tube four inches long.
Make platform of boards Chah
inch stuff win do) six or eight inches
shorter and narrower than the floor Of
your brooder, and nail leg FIVE inches
long under each corner; tack q slip of
flannel four inches wide around the edge
of this platform, and slit it with the
shears every threeor four inches to allow
the young chicks to run through easily.
That is all there rs of it, except cutting
out v shaped Gnverted) hole In one of
the sides of the box, nine inches high
and wide enough at the bottom to slide
n lamp in. The lamp heats the air be-
tween the sheet iron top and the floor of
the brooder, which, rising through the
tube in the center, strikes against the
platform above and is diffused.over the
chicks. With a little experience one can
soon tell how high to keep the fame of
tho lamp SO as not to make the floor of
the brooder too warm, which is injuri-
ous. With this brooder and proper feed
ing there need be no trouble in raising at
least 80 per cent of all the healthy
hatched chicks.-Ohio Farmer.

Differences in Butter Fat in MIX.

In farm and dairy practice the milk Of
the entire herd is usually mixed, so that
individual differences are rarely noticed
or receive much consideration. That the
milk of some one or more cows is better
than that of others is sometimes OBJ
served, but not until tried by tests made
at the experiment stations has it been
demonstrated that these differences are
so great as to make cows that are kept
for their lifetime as dairy animals wholly
uaproftable.
AT the Illinois station the results of
their trials represent record of one
milking from each of thirty eight cows
from different farms, the animals being
from various breeds. In comparing in
dividuals it was found that as between
Nos. 2, 8, % and 8, No produced twice
ao much butter fat as No. 8 and nearly
i've and one-half times as much butter
fat as No. 8, and that No. % produced
eeven and one-haf times as much butter
fat as No 8. Comparing No. 13 with
No. IA shows that nearly twice as much
milk must be handled by the owners to
get the same weight of butter fat from
No. IA as from No. 49, Besides these
cases, cows were found an along the line
from very profitable to very Improbable.
Tests were also made of the milk brought
by 113 patrons to two creameries on the
HEme day, showing striking variations in
the fat in the milk of the different herds.
