A LAND SEEKERS COMPASS.

If you are land seeker and want
to know in general way where and
where not to locate. do this: Take
map of the United States and ruler
and pencil. Locate the one hundredth
degree Of west longitude at the top and
bottom of the map and then draw a
straight line north and south with your
pencil from point to point No matter
what state it passes through it will
generally hold good that west of that
line it is unsafe to buy land expecting
to be able to cultivate the soil and
raise profitable crops, the uses of such
land being in the line of stock raising.
while east of such line as general
thing the land may be farmed in the
ordinary manner. Now, like all dead
lines, it is best to keep a safe distance
from this one. This line is of course
not defined as is railway track and
because of local influences and condi-
tons will vary from 100 to 200 miles,
some good farming land being found
west of it and some mighty poor soil
east of it, but as sort of general guide
for the green land buyer it is good
rule to observe.

PROCESS RITTER.

We watched recently with much in
terest the process used in making what
is known on the market as renovated
or process butter. The raw material is
the store butter of the localities where
creameries are unknown, Wads of odor-
Gus grease tinctured with all the ag-
gregated smells of an unretned and
semicivilized agriculture. 9his butter
is melted and strained, ledrrfng clear
yellow butter oil. 1t is then aerated by
blowing a current Of pure heated air
through it for eight or ten hours. This
process removes all odor and leaves it
q pure, odorless butter fat. 1t is then
treated with skimmilk in mach the
same manner that oleo is, is churned
and packed and really makes a very
palatable butter and sells on it's merits
about 4 cents pound under western
extra creamery. A factory Of this sort
sustains the same relation to the dairy
interest of the country that a reform
school does to the bad boys of com
munity-takes tough raw material anC
converts it into something good and
useful

THE GAME GOING.

The repeating shotgun and rifle, with
poorly enforced game laws, have about
cleaned out all the settled portions OF
the country Of all wild game. Save as
large tracts of mountain woodland or
prairie marsh may be bought up by
syndicateS OF men who love sport and
the game thereon protected, there will
be none to be found in q very few
years. The wild pigeons are all gone;
only few prairie chickens are left in
Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin and Iowa.
The wild foEl-the ducks, brant and
geese-are So necessarily bombarded
from the time they can fly in August
until they return to their northern nest
ing grounds in April that they have
learned to shun all signs of civilization.

crows AND cu1cKExs.

A lady friend who is a very success
full raiser of poultry told us recently
that the worst enemy she had to cope
with now in the poultry business was
the crow; that these birds had become
so numerous and bold that they would
destroy all eggs laid by the hens on the
outskirts of the farm homestead ana
kill more little chickens than twenty
hawks. There is no doubt about the
crow being a nuisance, and the fact
that it eats some grubs in the fields is
no sort of excuse for having it around
the premises. Unceasing war should
be made on both the crow and the
sparrow.

STOCK. FOODS.

To settle, if possible the controversy
over the question of the real value OF
the continental stock foods which
have sprung into so much prominence
during the past few years a most ir-
teresting experiment has been UNDER
taken by the Iowa experiment station.l
Upon a large farm in the central part
of the state nine lots of steers of TWEEN
ty head in each are to be fed to q fin
ish for the market Crushed corn and
cobmeal will be the chief ration used
in connection with roughage and grass
in season. In addition, one lot will be-
fed ration of gluten meal, another
germ oil meal, and the rest instead of
these concentrated foods, will be fed
various kinds of stock food made by
different companies. The test is to COW
er six months, and the cattle are to be
weighed every thirty days by station
expert as well as fed by one. This will
settle the question of the real value of
stock foods.

THREE GOOD APPLES.

We are asked to name short list of
hardy apples for planting in southern
Minnesota, eastern South Dakota and
northern Iowa While there is long
list of apples which may be grown IN
the territory referred to, we boil it
down to the following: Duchess, early
summer; Wealthy, fall; Northwestern
Greening, winter. The first named is
absolutely hardy, the second reasona-
bly, so and the last named apparently
hardy. These three apples are all good
in quality, the Greening keeping with
us until May under ordinary cellar con-
ditions. In addition to the above, the
Whitney crab has place, for it is a
nice little summer apple and a good
bearer.

SUGAR REErs FOR THE DAIRY.

Where one does not want to go to the
expense of silo with which to provides
a succulent and palatable winter ration
for the dairy herd, the next best thing
we believe, is to grow patch of sugar
beets for the COWS. While not perfect
milk ration, if supplemented with bran,
clover hay, alfalfa, oats or the gluten
feeds the COW fed on them will do her
best at the pail. These sugar beets may
be produced on any good corn soil att
the rate of from ten to fifteen tons per-
acre, and it will pay any dairyman tol
grow them for this purpose.

FARMERS TELEPHONES AND RAIL-
ROADS.

At time when one Of the Invest QueS-
tons being agitated by the farmers all
over the country is the establishment
of the rural telephone lines we are
asked the question whether the fafmersl
in building such lines should be comls
PEELED when they have occasion to cross
a line of railroad with such lines to,
erect large and expensive poles twenty
eight feet in height in the clear so asi
to not interfere with the traffic on such
railroad and whether such railway corr
porations, not owning the public high
ways where they cross them, but being
merely given the use of them by the
public, which does own the roads,
should not be compelled to provide con-
Quits under their roadbeds for the use
of the telephone lines. What should be
and what will be touching this and
many other similar matters will depend
wholly upon the kind of men who are
sent to represent the farmers in the leg
islature. The equities of the case in
point would seem to favor the conten-
ton Of our correspondent-viz that the
railroads occupying the public high
ways by courtesy from the public
should not in any manner obstruct
where it can be avoided the free use of
the highways by the public. This mat
ter will undoubtedly become legal
point before long which will have to
be settled by the courts. -

ty-five years. When he first began rent

to rapidly advance in value, and he had
besides most unconquerable aversion
