BUYING MEATS,

We have had 4 good many years ex-
perience in the matter of buying the
meat supplies for a good sized family
We have found out few things which
may possibly be of benefit to our read
ers. The porterhouse steak, the loin
cuts and chops of pork, veal or mutton
are the most expensive meats to buy.
These cuts carry with them the great
est per cent of waste. A fore shoulder of
mutton, veal brisket, also the brisket
of beef, the shanks of both veal pork,
ham and beef, all of which are low
priced meats, are, when properly han
died by an experienced cook, just as
nutritious and palatable at less than
half the cost of the fancy cuts. The
fact is that the frying pan is the most
expensive utensil there is to be found
in any home, for where it is so gener-
ally used only the best cuts of meats
are adapted to 1t, while the lower
priced cuts of meat when boiled,
stewed, roasted or baked furnish a
meat ration at much lower prices.
There is much that women should
know, but do not, on this line. The
knowledge of how to properly cook the
lower priced meats should be a part of
the education of every woman who eX-
poets to care and cook for a family.

CORN AND HOG CHOLERA.

1t would be worth millions of dollars
to the hog raisers of the country to
really know beyond any reasonable
doubt whether high priced corn is in
any way associated with immunity
from hog cholera; whether corn as a
hog food, and often almost the sole
food, is responsible for the disease. 1t
has now happened twice within our
recollection that in years when corn
has gone to 60 cents and over the coun-
try has been almost free from hog dis
ease, and we also recall that when corn
has been very cheap, 10 cents bushel,
the hogs have died by the million.
There is enough of coincidence in these
matters to justify investigation, espe-
cially when it is considered that we
well know that corn is very poorly
balanced ration. While pork can prob
ably be made more cheaply on corn
than on any other product, it by no
means follows that it is the best food
for the pig. We are more and more
convinced that If we would raise our
pigs upon other foods largely-oats,
clover, rye, barley, peas-and simply
finish them Off with corn, great step
forward would have been taken in
averting the cholera.

TWIN BLESSINGS.

We are in receipt of numerous letters
from different parts of the country
where the rural mail route and the
country telephone line have reached the
farm home, and the fact is nearly al
ways referred to as having worked out
almost revolution in country living.
These agencies have done more to make
life on the farm endurable and people
contented with a country environment
than anything else could have done.
These improvements have especially
helped the life of the women in the
farm home, have done away with that
sense of isolation which under old con-
ditions was at times almost unendura-
BILE. When woman arrives at that
state of mind when it seems as though
she must say something to somebody,
she can now take down the phone ana
have pleasant chat with some neigh
Dor, to the great enjoyment and benefit
of both

WOULD SELL AND SQUARE UP.
We have this case presented to us for
advice: A man owning 100 acres of
good prairie land, improved, is carry
ing a mortgage indebtedness of $4,000.
The farm is worth and would sell for
$11 900. He wishes to know if it is
best for him to sell it and buy an eighty
acre farm and be free from debt or
hang on and try to pay out where he is.
He further wishes to know what the
chances are as to return of hard
times for the farmer. Now, this man
wants to know a good deal; wants
more information than it is possible
for any man to give him. We will say
this much, however: On general prin-
ciples we had much rather have All
eighty acre farm and be free from
debt than 160 acres and carry a debt
of $4,000. 1t is worth far more from
our point Of view to be able to enjoy
life and be independent as one goes
along than to be reaching out, sweat
ing and striving for big pile for heirs
to scrap over. By working himself and
his goodwife almost to a finish this
man can probably pay for the big
farm, but he really has got more land
than he needs when he has done it.
We would sugar off if we were in his
place. AS to prospective changes in
the profits of agriculture, the present
times make farming very profitable
business. 1t is hardly to be expected
that such condition is to continue in
definitely. Just as soon as the produc-
ton of farm products exceeds the de-
mand there will come a reaction, and
much lower prices will prevail, when
a six thousand dollar mortgage will no
longer be a small burden. Present ag-
ricultural prosperity is the direct result
of marvellous commercial and me-
chanical development of the country at
large, and just as soon as mills stop
manufacturing, railways stop building
new lines and laboring men are either
discharged or have to accept lower
wages then will the farmer find the
present agricultural picnic at an end.
We do not know when this will come,
but the wise man will get ready for it.

There is no best breed. The returns
from the poultry yard depend almost
wholly upon the care given to the
fowls. Some breeds, notably the Leg
horns, Houdans, Spanish and Domi-
niques, are probably better layers and
less prone to spend their time in sit
ting than are the Asiatic breeds, but as
general rule the nonsitting varieties
do not lay as large eggs and are not Of
so much value as producers of meat as
the others. We are going to start a
poultry yard on a moderate scale next
year, keeping 200 or $50 laying hens.
and have decided to Use the Plymouth
Rocks as most nearly combining the
best in egg and meat production. Still
we had almost as soon take the Hou-
dams or the Wyandottes, and believe
that we would be well satisfied with
the Leghorns. The main thing is feed
and care

HOME GROWN PROTEIN.

How to obtain the needed protein
ration from the products of the farm is
one Of the problems which invite
much careful thought and inveshga-
ton. The average crop of the average
farm is deficient In protein aud carries
an excess of carbonaceous or fat form
ing material. This is especially true
wherever corn is grown as a staple
crop. Now, II there is any way in
which to remedy this trouble 1t is well
worth finding out Among the possible
farm crops which are rich In protein
are alfalfa, clover and peas, and II
more of these crops were produced on
the farm less money would have to be
spent for bran, linseed Oil, cottonseed
and gluten meals. An analysis proves
that well cured alfalfa contains as
much protein pound for pound as does
wheat bran. 1t is thus easy to see
that If 1t is Mt all possible to grow al
falfa 1t alone will remedy the trouble.
Not every mans farm will grow 1t, but
thousands can who do not. The wise
man will at least give it fair trial
Glover is also rich in heterogeneous mat
ter and should be grown for this sole
purpose of helping to balance up the
food rations if for no other Peas are
equally rich in protein, and in the form
of pea hay or as silage should be more
used. 1t is worth noting that all
three of these plants, besides furnish
ing much needed form of ration,
have the happy faculty of improving
the soil upon which they are grown
and are in no sense exhaustive, but in
stead are recuperative crops for any
soil. This matter is worth any mans
attention

An interesting experiment is reported
from the Missouri station. In a feed
test on fattening steers it was found
that where a bushel of corn fed with
timothy hay produced 400 pounds of
beef bushel of corn fed with cowpeas
produced $50 pounds of beef and with
clover GA pounds. and the beef made
on the clover ration was of better
quality, This is a good illustration Of
the profit connected with feeding a
properly balanced ration. The idea
brought out here is just as applicable
to the feeding and fattening of hogs as
1t is of beef cattle. Instead of all corn
give the pigs balanced ration, and
they will make better animals, fatten
faster and be less liable to disease.

The new and the better agriculture
which is being taught by our agricul-
tural colleges, farm institutes and up
to date farm papers is showing how
man may profitably work fewer acres.
The omnipresent craze in all the newer
sections of the country is to spread the
labor of the worker over just as many
acres as possible, while the new dis
pensation reverses this process. Not
only education on agricultural lines,
but necessity, is compelling this
change. the increase of farm land val
ues making old methods of working
farm lands wholly Improbable. This
is progress in the right direction.

1t has been a very freaky year for
vegetation. The apple trees have
bloomed for second crop of fruit, po-
tatoes have grown above ground ON
the vines. September strawberries and
raspberries have been common, sweet
peas have bloomed continuously from
June to middle October, geraniums
and callas have hardly bloomed at all,
the second crop of clover and timothy
hay was better than the first, cucum-
bers kept on producing from July to
October, melons utterly failed. 1t has
been year without summer, minus
sunshine and heat, and with an excess
of moisture.

In all those sections of the country
where long winter commences bust
ness by the last of November and
keeps right at it until the last of March
there are of necessity a great many
things to be done to get ready for it
on the farm. 1t is disagreeable and
wasteful work to have to dig for fuel
and the straw, hay or corn fodder out
of snow banks in January. A supply
of dry fuel under cover will do much
to make things pleasant in the house,
while the fodder handily stacked for
winter use makes it easier to keep a
good hired man.

A HEAVY RAINFALL.

Southern Minnesota, all of Iowa and
parts of Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas
have received rainfall of nearly three
feet since the Sth day of May, some
portions Of this territory getting as
much as fifty inches. The effect of
this unusual downfall of rain has been
to spoil the crops on all low lands
brought under cultivation during the
preceding dry seasons, badly wash and
gutter the farm lands on the hillsides,
start all springs to flowing once more,
raise the level of all the lakes and
ponds, rejuvenate all forest and Or
chard growth and pasture lands, secure
Il wonderfully fine stand of the tame
grasses and clover where sown last
spring, insure remarkable second crop
of tame hay for late September cut
ting, lower the grade of nearly all the
small grain produced, invite the COM
ing of an early September frost, impact
all clay soils and those deficient in
humus into a hardpan and in a gen.
eral way completely change farm con-
ditions as they existed prior to the
great rainfall.
