He and some eighty-six farmers in the
vicinity OF Santa Rosa are busiIy engaged
in experiments upon various varieties of
the beet root, with a view to attaining the
highest possible amount of sugar. Mr..

results so far have been obtained from the

One OF the prettiest sights which a Wis.
itor to Santa Rosa can experience in these
balmy October days is found in a trip
through the surrounding vine-clad hills
and valleys. Perhaps now here else in the
world has nature been so lavish in her
gifts, and it would be difficult to find any
more pleasing picture than is presented by

ing. Here may be found every variety of
wine and table grape, none of which will
grow without protection east of the Rocky
Mountains. To the artist or viticultur!st
alike the almost infinite variety of leaf

ARE YOU DEAF?

The ear is very delicate and sensitive
structure. II consists OF the internal mid
die and external ear. The external ear re-
ceives sounds; the middle ear conveys
sounds; the internal ear distributes the
sounds to the proper portion of the brain.
The sound is conveyed through the middle
ear by chain OF three minute delicate
bones. These bones are covered with thin,
pink mucous membrane.
The facility to hear depends in great
measure upon the normal condition of this
membrane. When the membrane becomes
congested by catarrh, it is liable to thcken
and is no longer sensitive TO the vibrations
OF air. The hearing is duled, and IL the
catarrh is not treated, total deafness will
eventually follow.
Ii is of the utmost importance then, to be-
gin the use of Pe-ru-na as soon as the slight
est difficulty OF hearing is noticed. Pe-ru-n ma

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

You should manage not to keep n
fowl or chick any longer than it ls u
source of income.
The knowing just what to sell and
just when to sell is often the difference
between success and failure.
1t is no use feeding lot of chicks
that are of no uso only for the pot !;
sell them and use the money to buy
feed for the rest.
If one would succeed intelligently
he must go to some trouble and expense
to get the use of the best sires, and
must not stand on few dollars extra
for their use.
There is great difference OF opinion
as to what filth is. Generally it emits
q disagreeable scent. A sinking bar
rel or hog trough is not cleanliness,
nor is bad smelling hog pen.
A good quality of wool cannot be
obtained from sheep which are allowed
to grow poor two or three times n
year, and are in good condition only
when the season is favorable; i'll fact,
failure is the price of neglect moro
often than we think.
The sucking pigs may he growing
nicely, but do not cheat yourself with
q false idea OF the profits unless you
are also observing the mother. She
may be falling off as fast as her pro-
geny is gaining. Give her the best
food obtainable to keep up both flesh
and flow of milk.
Take good care that tho pigs have n
sufficient supply of salt, ashes and
charcoal keep it in box under shell
ter where they can help themselves,
and never let the supply entirely run
out. There is no danger Of them eat
ing too much, for their own cravings
will measure that.
BY proper care and management

let it overload its stomach.
The principal Ingredients of eggs

FEEDING MILK PRoFITABLY.

Milk is undoubtedly the best feed
for young stock of all kinds, but some
care is needed in feeding it to get the
best results. When taken in the
natural way from the teat, the milk is
always warm, comes very slowly, and
is always mixed with some saliva from
the mouth which aids its digestion.
When milk is fed, except in very small
quantities, these conditions are re-
versed. How often have we seen an
entire pailful of skinned milk placed
before a calf five or six weeks old, and
by it swallowed just as rapidly as the
milk can go down the animals throat.
If the milk is cold, as it often is, can
it be wondered that the calf suffers
from scours? 1t is only the natural
effort to rid the stomach OF mass it
cannot digest. Milk should never be
the exclusive food of any except the
very youngest animals. Its difficulty
of digestion units it for being the
main food of animals that can eat any
thing else. If for hogs it were always
fed sparingly with some grain, the
milk would produce much more pork
than the grain will without the milk.
1t is an excellent supplement to corn
fed hogs, but grinding corn or oats
together or mixing bran or wheat
middlings with corn meal will, in part,
take the place of milk by supplying
nitrogenous nutrition just rs the milk
does. Boston Cultivator.

GRAIN FOR POULTRY.

Bulletin log (new series) of the
Geneva IN. Y. station gives results OF
some experimental tests OF the relative
value OF whole grain and the same
ground, for poultry. incidentally,
some other interesting results were
obtained.
1t was thought best to use both
large and small breeds in parallel ex-
periments; hence two pens of Buff
Cochins and two White Leghorns were
used.
The experiment extended over a
period of two years. The pen of Leg
horns having good grain laid more
eggs the second year than the first !;
while the other three pens fell off In
egg production for the second year.
From the following records it will
be seen that for the Cochins, whole
grain was best, ard for Leghorns,
ground grain was the best:
The Cochins having ground grain
consumed an average of 40 ounces
of water-free food each per day, at a
cost of $102 l 15 per hen per year.
and averaged 43s eggs weighing 05
410 ounces. For every pound OF
eggs produced they consumed IS
pounds of water free food at n cost of
II 1T cents, or 26 cents per dozen.
Cost of food per hen, 81. OF Is; value
of eggs, rs cents; lost Oh each hen,

The Cochins having whole grain ate
an average of 81 ounces day, and
laid an average OF 63s eggs each. For
every pound of eggs produced they
ate 10 pounds of food costing 13 cents
--19 2 cents per dozen. Yearly cost
of food per hen, $l.03 l3; value of
eggs laid, $l.05s; profit per hen,
nearly three cents.
The Leghorns having ground grain,
ate an average of . $40 ounces food
per day and laid 93 eggs each, weigh.
ing 1914 1-07 ounces. For every
pound of eggs produced they ate la
pounds of food costing seven cents
nearly IL cents per dozen. Cost OF
feeding each hen year, 8It cents /;
value of eggs laid, 81. 331; net profit
per hen, 49t cents.
The Leghorns fed on whole grain,
ate an average of 3 ounces of food pei
day, and produced II eggs each,
weighing 165 s 10 ounces. For one
pound of eggs produced they ate
6 1-12 pounds of food costing liz
cents-l3 1-3 cents per dozen. Cost
of food for each hen year, 95I cents
value of eggs laid, $1.11s; net profit

Allowing for the cost of Matching

returned an average profit the frs
