AGRICULTURAL.
The Free.Seed Humbug ~

This is what many call the distribu-
ton of seeds by the Department Of
Agriculture. Ex-President Cleveland
and his Secretary of Agriculture tried
with all their might to aoolish the seed
distribution, but Congress would not do
IL. And so the garden seeds are to go
out again this year as usual. The arti-
ole below taken from the Ohio Farmer
throws much light on the subject. 1t
does seem little strange to have the
United States Government sending out
pumkinseeds and the like. We have
known of seeds marked " suited for the
South" to be sent to Vermont. But
che quality of the seeds has greatly i'm.
proved of late, and somebody may get
some good from the humbug.
FREE SEEDS.
Assistant Secretary Brigham Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, was in Toledo last
week, inspecting the arrangements being
made by the Henry Phillips Seed Company
for filing their mammoth contract with the
government. For the first time, the contract
for furnishing free seeds has been given to
the firm, and in four months-from Decem-
Der 15-it expects to put up and deliver
13,000000 packets. Thirty carloads of seeds
will be required, and when put up into
packets, it will make forty carloads. The
seeds are largely homegrown, but flower
seeds are largely imported from Europe.
There will be about four carloads each Of
peas beans, and sweet corn. Five auto
matte bag. filling machines are used in put.
ting up the smaller seeds, each having a
capacity of % 600 to 10000 packets per day
OF ten hours. The company gets little
over $40, 900 for filling this contract. A lit.
tie calculation will show that they get but
little over half cent per packet, big and
little.
The appropriation for the present fiscal
year, for the purchase and distribution OF
seeds, plants, bulbs. ETC., is $4,000, OF
which $4,000, must he expended for pur-
chase of seeds alone. leaving $4,000 for
bulbs, plants, cuttings, etc. A great part OF
this money is wasted. The spirit OF the law,
the Secretary says, in his recent report, re-
quires that the seeds, etc, should be rare
and valuable" The fact is that most of
them are Of the common kinds, and
The government is simply running in
unfair competition with the important
seed industry Of the country. The mail
service is loaded down for four or FIVE
months. and the people must pay for it.
The abuse of the Thanking privilege is re-
sponsible, largely. for the deficiency in the
post-o flee department every year, and is
che greatest obstacle in the way of cheaper
postage and improvement in the service.

The Dairy In Winter.

There are many men who are not sat.
isfed with their summer diaries, and
yet who IL approached on the subject
OF dairying in the winter, will cay
among other things: "Oh, the winter
is too long to have it pay" Is it fact
that where man has good barn and
plenty Of good feed, that the winter
has much influence over the product?
There are many reasons why dairy
will give more milk in the winter
months than in summer, and the chief
Of them lie that the COW in a warm and
comfortable stable has conditions more
nearly uniform than is possible in the
summer with the usual climatic ex-
tremes. In cold weather, even If the
COW is in the stable, she will, as a rule,
have better appetite, and this means
better assimilation of food, two fea-
lures Of great importance, q "big" APP
petite and good powers of assimilation.
1t is far more economical, for the COW
In the stall is not tramping over her
food and destroying it as che is doing
in the pastures. 1t is estimated that a
COW destroys quite as much food by her
daily tramping over the lots as she con-
sumes, and in the stable this is saved.
Then with horn flies and other win Led
insects, blazing suns and drenching
rains, and possibly drought denuded
pastures, the COW is tormented and
even restricted in feed, so that to hear
that the flies are causing falling off
in milk, loss from short feed, or washy
grass ia common report, but the cow
fed on the mature crops of the farm
put up in good order, knows none of
these things, and where the water is
handy by, and the barn not too well
vent lated, there is a regularity of
yield that is generous for weeks and
months. L. is fact that the countries
which are now our great competitors,
practice winter dairying, and soiliDg of
their cattle, and have higher priced
land, and other things that do not en-
ter into the calculations in this coun-
try; they are largely getting the bet.
ter of us. Their cows are not greatly
superior to ours, and it must be in this
very matter of winter dairying, and
more largely soilipg their stock that
they are gaining their advantage. Look
this matter up and see If little more
thought will not increase the dairy
incomes of this country. - Practical
Farmer.

A Magazine Free.
EVERY READER OF THIS PAPER MAY OBTAIN
WITHOUT COST THE NEW ENGLAND
HOME MAGAZINE.

A remarkable instance OF newspaper
enterprise has just been impressed
upon the people by the Boston Sunday
Journal. With every number of the
Sunday paper, each week, is given alb
solutely free the corresponding number
of the New England Home Magazine.
This magazine is celebrated for it's
profuse and beautiful illustrations and
for its choice of articles particularly in.
teresting to New England people. How
it is possible for a newspaper to give it's
readers, without cent of extra coat,
such an expensive publication is diff
cult to understand, but the fact remains
that the Boston Sunday Journal is
doing il, and Boston Sunday Journal
readers reap the advantage. The New
England Home Magazine is surpassed
by none of the high-priced magazines
in the quality Of its Illustrations, and
has the added value that the people
and events which it pictures are those
in which the public is at the time espe-
cially interested.
As to size, the New England Home
Magazine gives its readers more pages
month than any of the other we'll
huOWu mdRdZluoe, tucIc UcluR tutdi
of 1872. Regarding the high standing of
it's contributors, the fact that an army
story by Captain Charles King is now
running, and series of short stories by
Sienkiewicz, the famous author of "Quo
Vadis," is to begin in next Sundays
number, gives sufficient indication.
The lasting value of file of this maya
zine, kept complete from week to week,
and the attractive volumes which could
be made by binding it, is easily seen.
The Boston Sunday journal thus
gives its readers now: First, The New
England Home Magazine, high-class
publication, with wealth of illustra-
ton; second, the Illustrated Weekly, a
novel eight-page section, illustrated by
the expensive, half-tone process; third,
the Feature Section, containing articles
of striking interest attractively pre-
eented; fourth, the News Section, in
which the news of the world from
the Associated Press and from the
Journals own correspondents, far and
near, is put into type.

"Pub, DOcs'' For the Farmers.

Much fault is being found with the
u. s. Department of Agriculture by
the agricultural press on account of the
course the Secretary is taking with the
department publications. So long as
these publications were confined to the
recording of facts found out by the ex-
pertinent stations, no fault could be
found, but of late the department has
invaded the regular agricultural book
publishers province, and is publishing
short treatises on various farm topics,
the aforesaid publishers do not like it.
1t is bad enough they think for the
government to engage in the seed bust
ness without taking the bread out of
the mouths of the agricultural book
publishers mouths. The Secretary has
gone 30 far as to offer prizes to the
writers of the best essays ON GER
tain subjects, and for certain publica-
tions, advertisements are solicited.
This seems truly to be carrying things
too far, and it is not be wondered at
that strong breeze Of protest is being
raised. Station bulletins are another
thing.
But 80 long as the Government is in
the publication business, it is we'll for
the farmers to know what is being
printed for them, and 30 long as many
OF these publications are being given
away, the readers of the WATCHMAN
might as we'll secure copies of the
things they are interested in. If you
want to know what the Government
has give away in this line, write to the
Secretary of Agriculture, Washington,
ID. c., for list of bulletins aud circulars
issued by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and available for free dis
trioution. From this list select such
as you need, and write to the Secretary
OF Agriculture for them, giving name
and number of bul etin or circul ar
wanted. There are some very valuable
things on this list as for instance Far
mer's Bulletin No. 81, Butter Making
on The Farm; No. 63, Care of Milk on
the Farm; No. 55, The Dairy Herd and
it Management; No. az, Facts about
Milk.
These are just samples of the issues
of the department, and will give our
readers some idea of their nature and
value. AS we have said, 80 long as the
Government has issued these bulletins
and wants the farmers to have them,
farmers ought to know about them and
order them. A letter or even a postal
card will bring many very valuable pub
LEGATIONS to the sender.

THE farmers of the United Stats

The farmers of the United States
ought to find their holiday season a
very satisfactory one. The contrast in
their condition at the present time with
that which existed under the free trade
which the Republican party has just
eliminated from the statute books
is very great, and every farmer will
doubtless appreciate it. They have
contributed very largely to the exportA-
tions of the present year, which are
shown by recent figures of the treasury
department rs greater than in any pre-
ceding year in the history of our coun-
try. OF course the products of agri-
culture form very large percentage of
our exports. Up to this time products
of agriculture form over sixty five per
cent of the expectations of the year
1897. as they did in 1896. In the month
oil October they formed seventy-fvs
per cent of the total expectations.
When we take this into consideration
and then learn that the exports of the
United for the year just ending will be
more than billion dollars, it will be
seen that large amount of money has
flowed into the pockets of the farmers.
