mer wheat and oats pour into
~ the grain elevators Of Chicago
at a great rate. The grain doesn't all
stay there by any means. There
wouldn't be room for it. Trains are
constantly backing into the elevators
and boats pulling up to their sides to
take on loads of the grain and trans
port the cereals eastward. Chicago Is
the chief depot Of the country for max
ing the transfer from the producing
points to those where the grains are to
be prepared for consumption.
Most Of the great elevators Of the
city are located where they can be
reached by both water and rail, for
while the heavy receipts come by rail
the most Of the big shipments out Of
the city go by boat. If the Chicago ell
vators were divided Into stories, as are
ordinary buildings. they would be from
ten to fifteen stories in height. Most
of them have narrow upper sections
only about half as wide as are the
main portions. These higher portions
are used for machinery and grain trans
ferring devices. so there is 10 need for
as great width rs the lower floors,
where the grain is stored in bins.
When a trainload of grain arrives at
an elevator the cars to be unlOade1
are backed right into the elevator on

Of the high quality cows Of the land

these marks when selecting cows for

that Is extremely important may be
comprehended under the term "ca-

milk and butter cow must have a
large, deep body and large udder.
The COW illustrated shows the great
deep body and the splendid develop
ment of udder that characterize the big
mixers. A cows body is butter ana
milk factory. You cannot expect to
make much butter and milk in small
factory. The "wedge-shaped" COW has
a deep body where depth is needed
where the machinery Of the body is Mt
work converting fodder into dairy prod
ucts.
Notice the fullness in the fore part
Of the udder and how we'll it runs up
behind. with the large. well-placed
teats and its general appearance Of
large capacity. Such an udder. when
MIXED out dry, will fall in loose, soft
folds. like an empty bag. 1t is a good
type to breed to.
Flowing Under Green Crops.
While we advocate blowing under
green crops. when they are not worth
we believe that there are some soils
where this practice may 90 injury
rather than good. If the soil Is light
and sandy. lacking nitrogen. or when
it Is stiff and needs to be made more
porous. then almost any green crop Is
a good manure for it. Where it is low
and wet. and perhaps has too much
acid in 1t. a heavy crop Of clover or
other green manure will usually be an
injury to the succeeding crop. unless
1t is given also dressing Of lime in
some form, and we would prefer to
pay more for good phosphate Of lime
or fine ground phosphate rock. with
an addition or potash. than to use
either slaked lime or sulphate Of lime.
Yet in limestone soil we have seen
green manuring work wonders. and so
1t will OH land recently cleared. where
the bushes and brush had been burned
on the ground. Phosphates. potash and
wood ashes may be put on to grow
the green crop. and If used literally
will benefit that and the succeeding

Status Of the Farming Induatry.
There are I0,43S, 1922 persons engaged
Ia agricultural pursuits, while all 9TH
er industries engage 1&S45,OO0 persons.
One-third Of the entire area OF this
country is devoted to tilling Of the soil.
There are to-day 5,730.657 farms in the
United States. and the value Of farm
property, including improvements, stock
and implements, is $2O,514. OO1 1888. The
number Of farms has quadrupled in the
past fifty years, while the value Of the
farming land to-day Is five times as
great as the selling price Of fifty years
ago. More than 100000 farms have
been laid out and fenced in by settlers,
principally in the West, in the past ten
years. Fifteen thousand farms were
given away by the Government during
1901. When the Indian Territory is
opened for settlement, about 1904,
100000 acres of fine farming land will
be offered for sale at low prices, and
farming will receive another valuable
acquisition to Its ranks. There are $685.
100000 acres of unsettled land in the
United States ready for immediate &C.
cupancy.
The total acreage used for farming
purposes is S41, 100000 acres-an area
which would contain England, Scot.
land, ireland, Wales, France, Germany,
Austria, Spain. Japan and the Trans.
vaal, leaving sufficient room for several
smaller countries to 60 in around the
edges. None OF these countries, or all
Of them combined, would make re.

Yields of Cheese From Milk.
With ordinary milk the yield is about
90 pounds OF cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent Of butter fat in different
milks very nearly determines their rel
alive values for cheesemaking. Pro
fessor Van Slyke found by series OF
experiments that with milk rang
ing from 3.4 per cent to a. per
cent the amount to each pound Of but.
ter fat was 2.72 pounds of green cheese,
or Is pounds Of cured. five weeks. II
was found that per cent milk made
but "a pounds of cured cheese fol
each pound of butter fat. but the better
quality of the cheese from the richer
milk was thought to compensate fol
the slight difference in quantity. II
will be seen that hundred pounds OF
per cent milk made ten pounds OF
cheese and a hundred pounds of pei
cent milk made twelve pounds OF
cheese.

The concluding ceremony Of the thirty
fourth annual convention Of the American
Society of Civil Engineers was the recer-
tion given in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
last night. In spite of the stormy weather
the reception was very largely attended,
and the members and their guests spent a
most enjoyable evening within the marble
halls. The Corcoran Gallery seldom looks
prettier than when flooded with electric
light after nightfall. and add TO this the
animation of a social event like that of
last evening and the effect is decidedly
pleasing.
The guests were received by Mr.. Robert
Moore, president of the society, and Mrs.
Moore; Mr.. Charles Warren Hunt of New
York, secretary of the society, and Mrs.
Hunt. The presentations were made by Mr..
Bernard R. Green, who represented the
board of trustees of the gallery. The re-
ception hours were from to IL o'clock.
and during all that time there was a
stream of visitors The reception proved a
fit closing to a very successful and enjoy
