Cheaper Sugar.

We look for quite revolution in the
sugar business in this country as the
result of the acquisition of our new
tropical territory. The sugar cane is
strictly at home on nearly every foot of
it. Labor to cultivate this crop is
abundant, acclimated, and can be OBJ
tanned for song. 1t is stated that
raw sugar can be produced in these
countries with profit and laid down
here at one cent pound. We look to
see this fact have marked effect ur-
on the development of the beet sugar
interests both here and abroad. Cane
sugar can be produced at far less cost
than beet sugar. Three-flfths of the
sugar now consumed in this country is
made from beets grown abroad. This
sugar is to be displaced by American
grown cane product inside of five years
as we look at it, and so pounds of gran
ulated sugar for 81 is more than a posi-
bility five years hence.

Adulterated Cream.

No sooner does an article of food be-
come widely used than certain class
Of men begin to devise methods to falsi-
fy and adulterate it. The use of cream
is spreading rapidly in the cities, and,
as a consequence, methods for giving
the cream q false richness are in de-
mand. Fortunately the men who get up
these methods of authorizations are al
most invariably profoundly ignorant Of
the possibilities of chemical analysis,
and the crude compounds which they
put upon the market are easily distin-
guished if enough is used to make the
adulteration profitable. The latest meth
cd which has come to our notice is one
for falsifying cream, giving it a rich
ness not due to butter fat. The product
is called "albuminoid" and is a mix.
ture of boric acid and gelatin This
compound when added to cream makes
it thicker and apparently richer, and
also, owing to the boIic acid, makes it
keep longer. Fortunately both these
compounds are easily detected by the
chemist, and the dairyman who thinks
w iHCioose LIS piouts ny tue use VI suCu
a mixture stands good chance of in
curing fine that will make hole in
his profits, and the hole will be of
sufficient size to make him think twice
before running the risk a second time
The tendency at the present time is to-
ward pure food products. and, although
such compounds as the above appear on
the market with great regularity, we
notice that in short time they disap-
pear. ---Hoard's Dairyman.

Government Seeds.

The department of agriculture has
just let the contract amounting to SO
600 for garden and flower seeds. If
the granger will get on the right side
of his congressman he will receive next
spring some packages of Drumhead
cabbage, Hubbard squash, and ruta-
baga seed, and his wife some pansies
and four o'clOcks, with the directions
for planting on each package and the
urgent request that report be made to
the department as to the value of the
products and their adaptability to the
latitude where the grower lives, all of
which compels the belief that great
government can make great ass of
itself when it sets out so to do.

A Door Yard.

There were two broken and disman-
tied old harvesters, the wreck of an
old wagon, q lot of hardheads hauled
from the fields, section of old rail
fence, coil of rusty, barbed wire, in
umerable broken boards, lot of will
low grubs, an old washing machine,
battered up tinware, pile of ashes and
a hog wallow which received the
drainage from the milk tank, the
whole grown up with ragweed and
wild hemp, and intersected by run
ways made by the chickens and hogs.
This outfit constituted the front door
yard of a farm homestead which we
saw few days ago, the farm land
worth $50 an acre. 1t was rented

RObbing the Farm,

Starved and worn out soils are the
bane of agriculture in the eastern half
of this country. We will never come
to this in Iowa, you say, for these rich
prairie soils are practically inexhaust-
ible. Hold on. Don't you know al
ready of lots of fields on hillsides, or
lands where the subsoil lies pretty near
the surface, that don't average over 20
or % bushels of oats or corn, or ton
of hay to the acre? If you don't, we
do. The rains have washed these hills
the weeds have committed grand lar
ceny and the tenant skinner highway
robbery on these once fertile acres.
They are better than the lands of Del
aware or Virginia of course, but are GO
ing the same way. 1t il only ques-
ton of time. The Lord will send his
sunshine, dews and rains on these
acres just as He always has, but He
will not aid and abet you in the DELHI
crate violation of the natural law
which demands that if you take you
must also give back, There are thous-
ands of sick farms-robbed and starved
farms all over Iowa to-day, which
need prompt and timely restorative
treatment. Why should the intelli-
gent farmer be content with % bushels
OF corn or Of oats to the acre, when he
may easily double the yield? Why?

Filth and the Separator.

Many dairymen are inclined to at
tribute to the separator good points
which it does not possess. A dairyman
recently made the remark to the writer
when it was mildly suggested that his
stables were not as clean as they might
be that all odors and filth which might
by accident get into the milk were re-.
moved by the separator at the creamery
where the milk was sold. No one will
question the value of the separator for
doing what it was intended to do--sep-
arate the butter fat from the milk-but
it surely was never intended to remove
filth. The dairyman who will deliber-
ately permit filthy cows and stables to
be the rule should be forced out of bust
ness, and the time is not far distant
when creamery operators will find q
way of detecting the source of supply Of
tainted and filthy milk. Then the dairy
man will be forced to do what he should
now voluntarily do as a matter of de-
cency. Atlanta Journal

Water For Cows.

A plentiful supply of water is neoes.
sary for the proper production of milk.
American experimenters state that the
amount of water absorbed by cow
does not influence materially the
quantity or quality of the milk am
bound to disagree with this. although I
have carried out no experiments on the
subject, for the reason that watery and
sloppy foods, such as grass, brewers
grains and roots, certainly do tend to the
production of a larger quantity of milk
with corresponding decline in the to-
tai solids. more particularly i'll the but
ter fats. At least consider that this is
the most feasible explanation of why
the total solids go down when watery
foods are given and also why the excess

GRADE COWS.
An Interesting Experiment at the Kansas
Agricultural College.

An Interesting Experiment at the Kansas
Agricultural College.
The Kansas Agricultural college has
taken up new line of experiment, says
the Boston Cultivator, and we shall
watch with much interest for the re-
suits They have purchased herd Of
good average Kansas cows, weighing
from 1000 to LOO pounds, and not
particularly Of the dairy type as it is
understood, but such as many good
farmers in that state and others must
rely upon for their principal stock.
They will try to see if good food and
good care will enable them to produce
the dairy products at profit from such
COWS, and, if there is a profit, to see how
it compares with the profit from cows Of
the true dairy type, animals from stock
bred for generations for dairy purpose.
This will constitute q valuable object
lesson for the students and for those
who read the bulletins of their expert
mental work or the papers which re-
publish them. But to make the expert
ment complete they should take the
best of these cows and mate them with
good bulls Of dairy families, raise the
heifer calves with care and ascertain
how much better such grade stock may
be than the cows it is bred from.
Not every farmer can restock his farm
by buying new herd of dairy cows,
even if he is convinced that they will
pay u larger profit, but almost any one
can buy grade cows heifers or calves of
dairy type and blood or can procure the
services of good bull to mate with his
best cows and can raise few calves
The change can be made gradually
easier than it could be made all in one
year.
And yet farther investigation may be
needed. The best grade calves will not
always come from the best dairy cows
The contest for supremacy or hereditary
influence between different bloods or
between the dairy type and the beef
type may be so great as to make the
product of mating of very uncertain
character. A good bull may succeed in
implanting the character of the family
he is bred from upon the offspring Of
very inferior COW of no particular breed.
ing and utterly fail to do the same upon
the calf Of another and better COW that
is strongly marked with the character
of some other blood or type of animal.

TRY This Way,

One of the incest things we have
come across lately is case where a
pioneer farmer who, with his good
wife, has toiled long and hard to con-
vert his wild preemption claim into a
model farm, has arranged his business
so as to spend his last days on his farm
instead of moving to town as so many
do. He has built nice home for his
son on the place and turned the active
work of the farm over to the boy, while
the father and mother retain the old
home endeared by so many hallowed
associations. The boy enjoys the adj
vice and counsel of the father and
profits by his experience.
