Truck Farming IN Cuba.

Previous to the advent OF the
Americans. trucking for the northern
markets was unknown in Cuba. and
In fact. the industry, as practiced lor
the local markets, was conducted on
very smafl and unenterprising scale,
,ays the Cuban Investor and Guide.
~ early as the fall OF 1899 the Amer
can farmer began experimenting IN
several separated localities. none OF
which we're far from Havana. These
exp pcriments were unsuccessful flnan-
cially but resulted in great deal OF
valuable practical experience. The
soil is SO much at variance from
that in the States that lessons OF Its
cultivation had to be acquired by even
the most expert farmers. The ground
Is hard, and in some places almost
tiinty when dry. and thick and heavy
when wet. This, added to the heavy
nat Of grass and the packed condi'
tion of the soil by reason of its long
disuse. made the original breaking
q task of great labor and extreme diff
ficulty. Men planned their work cal
culating that the expense would be
about the same as it would be for the
same class of work in the States but
before the task was half completed
discovered their error.
Guines, a small town about 35 miles
by rail from Havana, Is the center OF
the trucking industry on the island
For some years it had been widely
known for the excellent potatoes and
5nions produced in the surrounding
artificially irrigated land. A season S
crop OF potatoes would run up to ESQ,
600 barrels and the onion production
! would reach about 100000 barrels.
The land in this vicinity is espe
| cially adapted for the successful rails
| ing of all tender crops. particularly
those of thirsty nature. A river
rises in the hills to the north o1
Guines and runs down the country by
the town. emptying into the Carribe
an sea. A series OF bitches were made
d ing slavery days and the water
from this river was distributed
among the farms as far east as Sal
Nicholas. each farm having q fxet
! water privilege.

W0Tos
Year by year it Is noticed that the
area Of wheat growing In the Unitoda
States and Canada is shifting 70 the
north and west. Time was when the
principal part of the wheat crop vas
grown south of the Dakotas. Iowa ana
Wisconsin When Minnesota took up
the business Of wheat growing ana
developed vast fields the people OF
the east and south were astonished.
Then the Dakotas began to grow
wheat. It was believed that little K
any wheat could be grown north OF
the boundary line between the UMee0
States and Canada. But the cnie1
surprise has come In the TREMENDOUS
development of the wheat growing
country in Manitoba and the North
west Territories. Reliable statistics
inform us that the yield Of wheat IN
Manitoba last year 1901) was In e1-
cess OF $4,000 900 bushels, and that
the yield in the Northwest Territories
was in excess of 12,0OO,OOO bushels.
This makes a total of over $4,000, ,OOO
grov n in a section of the country tna1
was looked upon as almost too near
the arctic circle to be habitable. Wise
men have been figuring how soon the
wheat growing area of the world
would cease to expand. They have
not figured the possibilities OF this
vast territory lying to the north OF us
and extending we do not know how
far toward the line of eternal frost.
All this wheat was grown on about
2,50o.OOO acres of land, or about 4,O0O
square miles. This means strip OF
territory so miles long by SO wide. q
very small area compared to the I'M
mense area usable in Manitoba ana
the adjoining territories. Evidently
American wheat growers will nnd
strong competitors north of the inter-
national boundary line. The average
| yield there of about Is bushels to the
acre will pruve to be strong factor
in the further development OF wheat
| growing in that region.

Nalue of Whey,

At many cheese factories the whey
is an incumbrance rather than
source of profit. 1t Is usually disposed
of at almost no price, yet 1t is OF con-
siderable value for pig feeding. The
Wisconsin station has determined that
whey for pig feeding is worth 7 cents
per 100 pounds, and II properly com.
bined with other feeds is worth 10
cents per 100 pounds. The greatest
trouble with whey is that it rather de-
moraliZes the handling of the milk
supply. AS soon as patron emptles
his cans he wants to fill them up with
milk, and this prevents his cans be.
ing washed and steamed at the fac
tory. There are various ways of get
ting rid of this necessity. One method
that is practiced at some cheese fac
tories is worthy Of consideration. Pla
pens are built far enough away from
the factory to prevent the odor from
reaching that institution, but near
enough so that the whey can be easily
run to them on tram tracks All the
whey is fed at the factory in this way,
and the profits from the operation 60
into the general fund. In this way tho
profits get back to the patrons. There
are several advantages about this plan
of feeding whey. One Of them is thai
| the whey can be fed in better condition
| than it usually is fed in when it mas
| to be hauled back to the farm. Spoiled
whey at the factory is put into can:
and is certainly not improved when Il
arrives at the farm. The cans tina
convey it are never or seldom properl!
cleaned and the milk brought to thu
factory in those cans is injured II

Heavy Freight Train.

A few weeks ago freight train was
hauled from Sayre to Weldon, which
must have been among the heaviest
freight trains ever handled by one en-
gine in regular service for an entire
freight division. The train was made
up of 104 loads and weighed 4.OlS
tons. 1t left Sayre, eastbound, at 1883
D. m. and arrived at Weldon at 9:O5
p. m. This regular freight division
run is 80 miles. The run was made,
therefore, at the rate of 49,. miles an
hour, the engine taking water three
times.

pairxina In Siberia.

New York Produce Review: Mr.
Bagge of Sweden, recently made trip
through Siberia and Landmandsblade
gives the following report OF q lecture
on the subject: 1t is shown that 81
beria is naturally adapted for becom.
ing the future dairy country. Az soon
as tho UraI mountains have been
crossed. one is astonished at the enor.
nous prairies with luxurious growth OF
forage plants, a veritahle heaven for
cattle and dairying, and this impress
sion is confirmed If one gets chance
to examine the soil which Is of the
same rich, black kind known in the
European Russia. Herds of several
hundred head of cattle are frequently
seen and the impression is that dairy
ing must be prominent
The Russian government has also
commenced to understand that 1t mas
q gold mine in Siberia and has taken
steps to utilize it, but to a stranger 1t
will seem as ii the cart was being put
before the horse by establishing re.
frigerator trains for export instead OF
first improving the production. The
dairy exhibitions held every third
year, this time in Kurgan, Tobolsk.
There were 400 firkins OF butter, fresh
and preserved, shown, and not
single perfect or simply good could be
found among the fresh samples and as
to the preserved the smell was enough
to prevent him tasting it. The main
blame he lays on the dairy instructors.
OF course there are exceptions but as
| rule, he did believe them to be COM
| petent and he mentions sample OF
fresh butter made by an instructor to
which had ben added several pounds
of sugar When this is done by an
| instructor what can be expected from
the rank and tile? No! first Of all ex-
| pert instructors are needed. 1t must
| be remembered what KIND ol people
it is who handle the milk. They are
on a very low plain Of civilization.
they have even deemed the centrifu'
gal separators the work Of the devil
and believe that the late drought was
Gods punishment for the introduction
of these machines.
| Cleanliness, the foundation of dairy
ing, was not much in evidence at the
| show, how much worse must 1t be IN
the creameries!
These are both Individual and CO
operative, and there as everywhere II
has been demonstrated that the CO
operative creameries make the bes
butter and they also took most Of the
premiums at the show. A peculiar
thing is that but seldom is mechanica
power used to run the separators
as rule they are run by hand. Ever,
patron has his separator by which hi:
milk is separated at the creamery
(!!?) That is great bother ant
loss of power is evident. but the rea
son is that human power is cheap ant
fuel very dear. PasteuriZation is near
ly unknown and the care of the cow
is poor, the COWS small of variou
breeds and give but little milk which
however, is very rich, testing to
even Z per cent.

irrigation at the New Mexico Experk

ment Station.
In the October Sth issue of the
Farmers Review there was an article
on Irrigating by Means Of Steam
Pumps 1t referred to experiments
made at the New Mexico Experiment
station. In some mysterious way the
word Arizona was substituted 1Or
New Mexico, and the latter station
was thus deprived of proper credit
The New Mexico station was prompt
in calling our attention to the matter,
and we hasten to make all amends
possible. The work being done BY
the New Mexico station is certain to
bear abundant fruit, especially In
semi-arid America. That station has
demonstrated that a six-inch well will
irrigate a considerable area of terri
tory, when the water is applied ~
mentioned. Moreover it has been
shown that the cost is much lighter
than was supposed. 1t further DEM
onstrated that ordinary fuel can bs
used, such as wood of various kinds.
There are many localities where fuel
is positive nuisance, but where ir.
rigation would be very profitable.
Since the publication of the article
October 8, the Farmers Review has
received further communication
from the station on the subject in
which the writer says: "Since the
press bulletin was issued our work
has beela even more successful, and
we have thrown from the six-inoh
well already described stream Of
over 1000 gallons a minute"

A Mar upon Goats.

"The Western press reports from
Grand Junction, Colo. mention the
killing of six hundred Angora goats
valued at $4,000, by fourteen masked
men. presumably cattle herders, and
dred and eighty sheep were slaugh-
tered by settlers and cattlemen the
same day. While not excusing law
lessness in any form. there must be
some good reason for the antipathy
which has for many years been shown
by Western settlers and cattle own
ers to the nerding of sheep and goats.
In Arizona, New Mexico and South
ern Colorado, as well as many other
there are immense herds of goats
which have made the mountain sides
SO bare of grass that other animals
cannot exist, at the same time all the
coarse herbage is devoured by these
animals, and every seeding tree de-
Btroyed. 1t Is utterly impossible for
forests to survive where goats are
paStured This is simply repetition
of Spains experience upon her noun
tains. which resulted in the downfall
Of that nation, because no forest
trees could grow where goats were SO
numerous. After the forests were de-
stroyed and climatic changes made
agriculture SO difficult, the nation be-
gan its downward career. The prop
er way is to punish the men who law
iessly commit these acts Of violence
and to enact laws which will contine
the herding of sheep and goats to
those lands where grass is abundant
and limit the number in each herd sc
as not to destroy the pasturage-
more especially to keep them forever
out of the forest regions"

to hear what some of our goat raisers
think about the charges made.-Farm
