SELL THE POOR COWS.
They Are n Positive Detriment to the
Barry and u Steady Source
of Loss.

In the great business world no man
now thinks of succeeding with inferior
machines. The farmer that keeps
cows should take the lesson to heart
and discard all dairy machines-cows
that are not up to modern require
ments. No matter what machine
costs, it is better to throw it out on
the dump than usei at constant loss,
Only good dairy machines can be profit.
ably used. The good cows make but.
ter at profit. The ordinary dairy
cows make butter without profit or
loss, and the poor cows make butter
at loss. Now it is evident that no
matter how much COW costs, it is
best to send her to the butcher if She
either loses money or makes butter
with no profit. There are in the hands
of farmers many cows that have cost q
good deal of money once and were per.
haps good COWS at one time, but have
outlived their usefulness. These
should be fattened up at once and sent
to the butcher. Some men say they
will fatten and dispose of their cows
few months hence, when they have
dried up. But what is the use of keep
ing cows at all il they are losing
money for their owners every day.
The sooner they are sent away the
and dairymen can afford to keep only
good cows. All others are detriment
to the farmer and the farm.

METHODS OF DIVIDING SILO.

ure is not SO great.
When taking out the first slide, have
large number of braces ready the
proper length and as fast as the silage
is used, put in the braces. Fig. 4 shows
the braces in position from the sides
of the silo to the partition. These
braces should have some pieces at the
ends running the opposite direction
to the material against which the
brace is to support. That Is, if the
silo is stave and the partition horizon
tai to the brace, the end pieces should
be as in Fig. 5. If the timber of the
outside of the silo is horizontal, the
brace should be as in Fig. g. When
one side of the silo is empty, there is
no danger of the wall giving way if
these precautions are taken. Nextyear,
when filling, the braces as well as the
end pieces, should be taken out and
laid away for another year. By this
method, the man with small herd can
build moderate sized silo and have
silage through the dry time, as well
as winter at very small outlay of
money.-Orange Judd Farmer.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Energeticnlly by American
Capitalists.

The syndicate of Anglo-American
capitalists, headed by Mr.. George w.
Ireland, of Philadelphia, and in which
Sir William Van Horne and number
of prominent Canadians are largely
interested, have just purchased $780,
900 acres of lands near Bayamo, in
eastern Cuba, and formed a company
with capital of $5,0OO,OOO to grow
sea island cotton in Cuba, believing
that this crop is destined to succeed
sugar as the islands staple export.
Members of the company announce
their purpose, not only to produce
cotton for export to Great Britain
and the continent of Europe, but to
also establish cloth mills here, SO
that Cuba, like Georgia, may manu-
facture its own cotton goods for home
wear. They also propose to erect
cotton seed oil mills and fertilizer
factories either at Manzanillo or San
tiago de Cuba-whichever of these
two ports may be decided upon as
point of shipment. Improved mod
ern gins will be used, and great

The tract of land purchased by the
lreland-Van Horne people lies con-
tiguous to the main line and Man
zanillo branch of the Cuban Central
railway, the grand trunk" road of
Cuba, upon which Sir William Van
Horne claims trains from Havana
will be running through to Santiago
de Cuba by Christmas. Previous to
the ten years war in Cuba and dur
ing the American war of secession,
writes George Eugene Bryson, Sea
Island cotton was extensively grown
in eastern Cuba-the historic city of
Bayamo being in the center of the
cotton belt.

DIVIDING ROUND sILo.
Has Puzzled Many Feeders
More or Less.

A reader from Canada asks for the
best method of dividing round silo
which recently came into his posses
sion. Should the partition be put in
crossways of the openings or extend
from the openings? If the partition
extends from the opening, shall it ex-
tend from the center of the opening or
from one edge? Figs l, 2 and show
the three plans. By putting the par
tition, as in Figs. 1 and 2, the silage
from one-half must be thrown across
the other, which means much extra
work in emptying silo. The parti-
ton should be placed as in Fig. 8, and
good doors made to fit the opening in
each side. Use paper, or what is bet
ter, felt to make the joints air-tight.
The reader also asks if it would not
be all right to have the boards cut
and put in the partition as the silo is
filed. 1t would be impossible to make a
partition alright when put in in such
manner. Too much care cannot be
taken in putting in such partition.
The ends will have to have much work
where Joined to the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filled
simultaneously and we'll compacted at

One of the interesting features of
the congress will be the display of min

Senator w. A. Clark. In fact Senator
Clark has assumed responsibility for
this display, and is attempting to make
of it the most elaborate and exhaustiv
of anything of the kind ever under
taken. He not only assumes the re-
sponsibility for the display, but meets
the expense of it as well, even to the
point of paying the freight or express

THE FIG IN AMERICA.
Vast Areas In This Country Said to
Be Especially Adapted to
Growing It,

There is little reason to doubt
that America will become in the no
distant future one of the greatest
producing countries in the world.
Previous to about three years age
the growing of figs in this country
was carried on with very indiffer-
ent success, though trees were
planted in California, New Mexico,
Arizona and some other places.
About three years ago the govern
ment took up the matter and intro
duced from abroad the fg-fertiliz-
ing insect, blastophaga grossorum.
The insect was put to work in the
fig orchards about Fresno, Cal. AS
result two tons of Smyrna figs
were raised, dried and placed on the
market, tests being made by chem
lists and fruit experts showing these
figs to be superior to the imported
product. The crop last year on
these same trees amounted to over
so tons. The insect has been intro
duced now into other localities and
the department of agriculture holds
itself in readiness to supply these
insects to any grower that has trees
of bearing age. In the light of
these results it seems likely that
we may see in the next 20 years an
enormous development of the fig
growing industry. There are vast
areas in this country that are adapt
ed to the growing of such trees as
the fig and those localities will with
out doubt be the scenes of extensive
cultural operations with the aid of
science, which the American farmer
has so often and so successfully
called to his aid.-Farmers' Review.
Growing Lettuce Under Cloth.
Lettuce of especial tenderness,r ready

does not require much attention and
comparatively little water. Pull out

Women and the Single Tax

league has just been formed. Already more

When we get men to see that Our cause
is just they will vote for us.

that the cause of single tax was lost But,

Ninety per cent. of the young men who

his chance of success is small.
Why don't our young men become

is good.
