Educating the Cow.

d. II. DIS, of the Kansas Expert
ment Station, writes TO the Tennessee
Farmer:
The Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege has been experimenting along the
line of educating the scrub cows. AT
present these COWS present sharp
contrast both in appearance and per-
Torrance to the time they first entered
college. Their education has consist
ed of the application of scientific prln-
ciples TO their feed and care.
On entering college they would eat
little whole corn aud seemed to relish q
straw stack, but had to be taught to
eat meal and alfalfa. The first month
the best COW yielded 2S.S pounds of
butter fat, the second month 1913
pounds and the third month 81
pounds. During the twelve months
she produced 1897 pounds of butter
fat (45l pounds OF butter). Valuing
skim milk at Is cents per hundred
pounds, she yielded S7317 worth of
dairy products. But the value of her
education does not all show in the first
year, for during that time her digestive
apparatus, her udder and her ability to
convert feed into milk have undergone
course of development, which is
shown by the fact that the first month
of the second years record shows
credit of Al s pounds of butter fat, an
increase of 81 per cent over the best
month of last year.
The encouraging feature about the
cows education is that it is the kind
that any farmer can give his COWS at
home on the farm. Unlike the young
men and women at the college, the
cow does not get her training directly
from books, but she does get it by her
owner having sufficient knowledge
of books to apply scientific principles
to practical feeding, and the man that
ignores books, bulletins and papers as
potent factor in increasing the con-
tents of his pocketbook is ignorant of
one of the prime elements of success.
There is no doubt that experience is
the best teacher, but the experience of
two men is better than one, and like
wise the experience of large number
of the most successful men in any in
dustry is worth a thousandfold more
than one self-conceited man who thinks
he knows it ALL First educate the man
then it will be possible TO educate the
COW.

Agricultural Department Work.

James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, has just recently returned from
a visit to New England. Speaking of
his observations on this trip he gives
an interesting statement concerning
the methods and extent of the work of
the department and some of the new
plans which it has in contemplation.
"The Agricultural Department." he
said sis now preparing to send some
foresters to New England to inquire
into the forestry conditions there, and
some psychologists to see the grasses
to learn whether any of the new things
that we are bringing from foreign
countries can be useful in the section.
Then we shall send the soil physicists to
study the soil conditions. The results
of these researches we shall present in
Farmers Bulletins.
81 think the soil-physicists who 60
to New England will be surprised
that some of the best land in the river
valleys there has not been tlle.dralned
l saw very little tile-draining on my
trip, and am told that very little of it is
done. The system is much used in the
West. or course, some expense is in
volved in this, but it would transform
some of the heaviest bottom lands that
now grow poor grasses and brush,
close by factory villages, into beauti-
full fields. 1t certainly ought to pay
better in New England, where popula-
ton is dense, than in country west of
the Mississippi, and yet millions of
tiles are used there every year New
England does everything else better
than she manages her soils. Her man
ufacturing enterprises are way to the
front. But she is not making the best
use of her opportunities in farming"

LUMBER There is still plenteous har-
vest of orders both great and small. The
word "boom" for weeks has been, still is,
will be singularly applicable TO the situa-
ton. The splendid demand is indeed
ceasing to be novelty but continues of
course to afford lively satisfaction. AS it
is here, so it is everywhere. Throughout
the country customers are abundant, prices
profitable, sellers happy. In New York the
difficulty now is to buy lumber, not to sell,
and values, of course, rule very strong for
for rough lumber with which to put up
glands for the parade is quite feature,
Wool The market is quieter and the
business of the week shows a falling off of
several million pounds from the record of
the previous week This causes little or
no surprise TO the members OF the trade.
The condition of the market is such that
both buyers and sellers have been more
conservative, the former because the prices
asked have been generally above the level
OF those quoted previously and at which
the large, enormous business of the previ-
GUS weeks was transacted, and the latter
because there is a prospect that the full adj
vance has not yet been attained. There
have been plenty OF buyers on the market
and the sales would have been larger had
sellers been willing to accept all bids. Not
few tempting offers have been turned
down. At the close the demand from man
ufacturers gave indications of revival and
many dealers were ready TO purchase large
lines at a price. The situation is very
strong, II is not time for concessions.

How OleOmargarine is Sold in
England,

A little incident reported from Bris-
tol would have come in usefully during
the debate upon the Food and Drugs
act few days ago. Emily Stallard, an
inhabitant of that ancient and famous
city, was summoned by the police for
selling margarine as butter. Her
methods are worth noting. She bought
'large quantities" of the compound,
took it home, and made it into neat
'pats" with an acorn on the top. Then
she dressed herself up as farmers
wife, with clean cap and a check
apron, arranged the pats nicely in a
basket with a clean white clo.h, and
perambulated the town Offering "coun-
try butter" of her own making. Who
would not feel tempted to buy from an
honest and industrious farmers wife,
compelled by agricultural depression to
hawk her own produce about the
streets2 Emily Stallard did uncommon
! ly well, no doubt, until her little trick
was discovered-when she had to pay
500 and costs. How many of her sort
are still carrying on the business? But
it is asserted by member of the Som
erset County Council, who has been
making careful inquiries, that the
working classes are not great consum-
ers of margarine.
AS Mr.. Edmund Hill learns, it is
public nstitutions, converts, schools,
business establishments where the en-
ployees are boa.ded, that use the stuff.
1t seems not unlikely. In such places
people must eat what is provided. But
Mr.. Hill has made another curious OBJ
servation. AT the Wells Asylum, with
which he is connected as member OF
the County Council, the inmates re-
ceive margarine. In the asylnms OF
Dorset, Willis, and Hunts--the adjoin'
ing counties-butter is furnished, and
the death-rate al Wells is thirty pei
cent higher. At Taunton, whilst the
patients had butter, there were clever
deaths in thirteen months; margarine
was substituted, and in nine months
the deaths rose to twenty-two.-Londor

AGRICULTURAL.
Agricultural Expansion.

The possession of land is natural
desire of the human family. There is
a stability about ii which creates an in
definable longing for ownership and a
fascination which can only be satisfied
by title to it, Land is 30 cheap in
this country that any one with q spark
of energy can become real estate
owner to a greater or less extent. To
be farmer does not necessarily imply
large ownership of land. Mr.. Cheever
some time ago told us about the profits
that can be secured from q small area,
but this is possible only where markets
are at ones own door and the cost of
transportation is eliminated.
Back in the country, here in Gen.
trail Vermont for instance, the tenden-
cy has been, and now is, to try to cul-
tivate too large areas TO make it profit
able. While in former times and un-
der other conditions the larger farms
could be handled to advantage, under
changed conditions the advantage is
not 80 apparent. Reliable farm help
could then be secured at reasonable
price. Cattle, sheep and horses were
raised with good margin of profit.
Store cattle were wintered on coarse
feed, if need be, turned to rich pas
lures in the spring and sold for beef in
the fall, with but little care and anx-
iety. The sheep farmer had but little
care and good margin of profit in his
business. The farmer who kept a
good "horse dairy" found much de-
light in his business and received long
prices for his high steppers. These
times have passed never TO return, but
perhaps just as good times are before
us, if we are able TO suit ourselves TO
the changed conditions.
The next generation will know moth
ing about the ups and downs in farm
ing during the past thirty or forty
years, except in story, and they will
easily adapt themselves TO existing
conditions. 1t is the transition from
old to new conditions that troubles us
today. Many farmers have not set
tied in their own minds just what is
best to do about farming, nor how to
meet the new issues that are forced
upon us. One thing, however, is GER
tain, whatever may be the advantage
or disadvantage of territorial expansion
as nation, from governmental policy
or from destiny, it seems to be certain
that it is not profitable for the average
farmer to spread himself over too much
land. Concentration is the watchword
of the day and it applies as much to
New England farming as to anything.
Concentration in thought, concentra-
ton in purchased plant foods and in
stock feeds, less acres for cultivation,
more machinery, less help, more thor
ough tillage, and larger crops, better
sto OK with larger returns per head, end
more careful supervision over all.
Smaller areas for cultivation, with more
intensive farming, not only in New
England, but elsewhere will give this
country more prosperous agriculture
than the method of poorly cultivatlng
large areas which is practised by many
farmers in all sections of the country
