Farm and Factory.

s. n. D. North, in Review of Reviews.
In 1870. the census did not report pound
of butter made in factories; in 1880, 80 OO0, 900
pounds, out of a product of S07, OO0, 900, was
factory made; in 1900 the factory product
of butter was 42O,12600O pounds, out of a
grand total of 1892 $4,000 pounds, the fac
tory product being 2S.2 per cent. of the
whole. Cheese making shows a still more
remarkable transformation. In 1860 there
was no cheese making in factories reported.
In 1870 the factories made more than one
half our cheese; and in 1900 the farms made
but 16, 372, 600 pounds, or less than per cent
of the whole product of 300 100000
Illustra lions might be multiplied indefi-
nitely to show the encroachment of the fac
tory upon the function of the farm. Indeed
it is becoming a most difficult matter for
the census makers to determine where to
draw the line between. agriculture and man
ufactures in many branches of industry
But the farm is the twin sister of the fac
tory; they flourish or are depressed in per-
feet sympathy; and American supremacy in
manufactures is due, in very large degree,
to the abundance of our agricultural prod
ucts. OF the raw materials consumed in
manufactures, agriculture supplied $780,
727.00O in value, or Sl.2 per cent of the total;
the mines supplied s319,975,0 900, or 1874 per
cent. in value; and the forest Sis, So, 600, or
per cent of the total; while from ocean,
lake and river came only $9,635, 600, or 0.04
per cent The farmer and the manufactures
are bound by an umbilical cord, and to-
gether they share prosperity or depression.

The Farm Calendar.

Country Life in America.
On the farm, in the orchard and garden,
labor now brings a rich reward. And not
Only are the matured crops awaiting the
harvester, but growing crops feel the
quickening impulse of cool moist nights
and in the early part of the month make
rapid growth.
Sept. 1-10-Gather the market peaches,
plums, pears, late summer apples and
early fall apples. See that the cider mills.
cider and vinegar barrels and evaporators
are ready for the windfalls and second
grade fruit. Harvest and market grapes.
Celery, cabbage and caulihower are grow
ing rapidly and require attention with cul-
tivator or hoe. See that the soil is stirred
often and WELL Celery wanted for very
early use should be Strengthened UP anu
the earth drawn to it with a hoe. Sow
grass land with timothy and red top, If
for pasture adding alsike. orchard grass.
Kentucky blue grass and meadow foxtail
to give large variety. maturing all
through the following season. Continue
fall blowing as fast as land is in condition.
Begin to cut silage and fill silos.
Sept. I-20-Seed winter wheat and rye
early celery for half it's height Sow caui-
flower, cabbage and lettuce for pricking
out in coldframes to be wintered over.
Seeds planted before the 10th are apt TO
planted out in the spring. If planted later
than the 10th, plants will often lack neces-
sary vigor and strength. Shallots and
onions should be planted and spinach sown,
to be wintered over for spring use. Sow
corn salad and chervil for winter salad.
Harvest onions, beans, melons, cucumbers
for pickles, potatoes and tomatoes. See
that potato bins are in readiness to re-
ce1ve the crop Get corn cribs in condition.
Sept. 2-30-Cut rowan for second crop of
hay. Finish banking up early celery.
Harvest apples and late pears. Continue
wheat and rye sowing. Watch tender
Towering plants lest early frosts catch
them unawares. See that they are pro-
tected, or If they are to be transferred to
the house, take them up Prepare cold
frames. If you have none, build one or
two for the early vegetables they will give
you the following spring. Harvest pump
kins and squashes.
Other Suggestions.-Give the cattle and
stock attention all through the month.
Pasturage will probably be insufficient;
see that it is supplemented with liberal
feed. Fat is easily put on during the cold
months of autumn, and for this reason
cattle, hogs and poultry should be fed
literally. Arrange exhibits for your
county fair. Look over buildings in prep
aration for the advent of cold weather.
Build an ice house If you have not al
ready. Prepare window-boxes and soil for
them, for fiower-folk are cheerful neigh
bors when frost has fettered a dreary
landscape.

for fear of the onions going suddenly out OF
fashion.
The thirty carloads of "sets" that have
invaded and odorized Texas were shipped
from an onion farm of ninety acres In
Indiana. This farm was started in 1897, and
has proved such a paying investment that
next year il will be increased to 150 acres.
1t will then be the largest onion bed in
the country. This year the crop OF ninety
acres has amounted to 10000 bushels or sets.
1t kept 10 field hands busy TO keep the
weeds out of the crop for the two months
that elapsed from the time Ii was ready TO
be cultivated until the tops began to die
down. When the tops were dead there
came a month of unwonted activity, resem-
town negroes flee their jobs over night and
take in the patch. More than 300 people
men, women and children-came from ad-
jacent Indiana towns TO harvest the crops
on the big onion farm Tents were pitched
and meals were served at a long plank
dining hall, the price of a meal being the
price paid for harvesting bushel OF sets
10 cents. The harvesters are paid by checks
of this value, and these checks pass cur
rency among the harvesters and those who
cater to their needs, and are cashed in
by the proprietors at the close Of the sea-
son.

go at that. Those thirty carloads at least
should be raised at home, and after that the

The great annual seed distribution is one
of the least known governmental activities
and few persons are aware Of its magni-
tude For conducting this novel enterprise
Congress annually appropriates the sum of
s27O, 900, and the total distribution this year
will amount to about forty million pack
ages, which, 1t is estimated, will weigh
more than one thousand tons. Besides the
distribution by congressman great quaint
ties of seeds are sent out by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to farmers in various
parts of the country who agree to report
as to the degree of success which attends
their use.
In this connection ii may be noted that
much more satisfactory results are likely
to follow this years seed distribution than
attended any of its predecessors. This Is
due largely to the fact that Secretary Will
son, who is now at the head of the Agri-
cultural Department, Is a practical farmer
and, having given his personal attention 10
the seed distribution-which he, in reality
regards as pet project-he is al last able
to guarantee that the seeds sent out will
grow.

Farm Notes.

Abundant foliage assists In protecting
fruit on trees and vines. Fruit ripens
earlier on trees where the leaves have not
been killed, and, as leaves take carbonic
acid from the air and give of oxygen, they
serve to purify the air while deriving food
therefrom.
Grass crops are always valuable TO the
farmer, irrespective of market prices be-
cause they are the most useful crops grown
on the farm. Hay will bring good prices

milk. butter and meat. and no farm is COM
plete that does not produce grass.
Roots are superior TO ensilage as winter
food for stock. but the cost of ensilage is
much less than roots. A crop OF carrots
will be found one OF the best foods that can
be grown on the farm, but the work of
growing the carrots Is the great drawback.
Ensilage, on the contrary, can be always
relied upon as something sure, as the corn
may be cut ar any stage or growth should
necessity so demand.

Smelling the seed for planting, but the

corn can be grown much more cheaply
than bushel of oats. and yet at the same
time We believe that it will pay to COM
pound a ration for the work horse In
which oats is given a prominent part.
AS TO the quantity to be fed per day.
there is some little difference of opinion
We find that the United State cavalry
horse weighing LOCO to LOO pounds is fed
twelve pounds of oats per day, while the
German cavalry horse receives ten pounds
per day. In Great Britain these horses
when on severe Guty receive from twelve
to fourteen pounds of oats per day. Pro-
fessor Henry reports a case of draft horses
at hard work receiving twenty-five pounds
of grain per day, consisting of thirteen
pounds of oas. six pounds of beans and
three pounds of corn. 1t will be seen that
there is considerable variation in the
amount of grain fed to horses under vari-
conditions. However. ii is our ex-
perience that the average farm horse
weighing from 1.400 to 1,S00 pounds will re-
quire from fifteen to eighteen pounds per
day of a mixture composed of three parts
oats, two parts corn and one part BRAN
Horses fed in this manner and given good

day and remain In good flesh.

Keeping Farm Horses i'm Good Flesh

Iowa Homestead
We believe that the average farm horse
is underfed not but what there are many
instances where these are kept I'm the
very pink of condition, but on the aver
age. as we say, we believe they are under
fed. We do not mean by this that ami
mails get an insufficient supply of food
to appease their hunger. but we do mean
that the supply of nutrients in many cases
is not sufficient to take the place of the
wear and tear caused by hard work This
is specially true where corn alone Is fed
While we know of many instances where
good farmers feed corn alone during the
entire year, yet In the majority of these
cases farm animals are generally in
somewhat thin condition. Corn is fat
producing food, but when animals are
working they need large supply of lean
meat-producing food
Some time ago a physician informed us
of the fact that he was unable to keep his
horses in good flesh, and asked our advice
as TO the method of feeding them Upon
inquiry we found that corn. alone was being
fed. At our suggestion he changed the food
TO the following ration; A mixture COM
posed OF seventy-fve pounds of oats. fifty
pounds of corn and twenty-five pounds of
bran, to be fed to the amount of fifteen or
eighteen pounds per day per animal. TO his
surprise, although not to ours, his horses
Immediately began TO gain in flesh. Now
this was due 10 the fact that the bran
and oats I'm the new ration supplied larger
amount of fesh-forming material. so that
horses doing a large amount of driving
daily were kept in a much more muscular
condition when on this food, while at the
same time their appearance was much i'm
proved.
Work on the farm is generally much
more erratic than that In the city. and un-
der average conditions il is more difficult

However, IL less corn were fed and the
