Reapinu Machines in SYRIA

Reaping machines were employed
this year for the first time by native
farmers of Syria. These pioneers all
came from Chicago. Eleven were
working during the late harvest in
Coele-Syria and twenty-six in the plain
of Esdraelon. Also, for the first time
in the history of this country, the pres
ent year has witnessed the introduc-
tion and operation in Syria of a steam
threshing outfit. 1t came from Rich
mond, Ind, and caused considerable
stir in Coele-Syria, where it was in
stalled Its success was complete,
even to the bruising of the straw-a
most important item, since, in the abb
sence of hay and with the sparing use
of oats, barley and other grains,
crushed straw, in these parts, consti-
tutes the staple food for stock. Fur
thermore, for the first time in the an
nails of Syria, an oil-motor flour mill
has been successfully started in this
land; it came from Indianapolis, and
is now grinding wheat in Lebanon

Senator cIark,s Bad Precedent.

other morning Congressman Bower
sock of Kansas paused some, time over
one letter and said: q am inclined
to think that Senator Clark of Mon
tana has established a bad prece-
dent" Someone asked why he had
reached that somewhat belated con-
clusion. For this reason" replied
the Kansas man, holding up the let
ter and newspaper clipping. THE
clipping recites how Mr.. Clark gave
81 100000 to his first grandson and
the letter, which is from my son, is
as follows: Dear Father: This plan
worked well N Senator Clark's case,
why not try it yourself?' That's why

bad precedent"

Low Grade cottonseed Meal.

In recent communication to the
Farmers Review, the director of the
Maine Experiment Station. says:
Within the past three weeks several
samples of low grade cottonseed meal
have been sent to the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station for analysis.
These goods were differently branded
and two lots carried no guaranteed
analysis. The retailers were notified
of the quality of the goods and their
sale stopped. This meal carried from
"a to "a per cent protein. Dealers or
consumers who have dark colored cot,
tonseed meal or meal containing black
specks should, for their protection.
send sample to the station for analy
sis. The sample is best sent by mail
in a tin box-an old spice box answers
nicely. A description of the goods in
cluding a copy of the guaranteed
analysis should be sent with the sam
ple The analysis will be promptly
made and reported free of charge.
We publish the above as a warning
to western breeders to be on the out
look for the same kind of low-grade
goods This is all the more necessary,
as some of our western states have
no effective feed inspection laws.

TURKEY WITH THREE BIG LEGS
Bought by Boarding House Keeper,
1t Proved a Disappointment.


In coop of turkeys received by a
commission man yesterday was one
which had three legs. The whole
number are visible between the stats
OF the coop, the extra one standing at
a slight angle from the two others,
but perfect in form down to the toe
nails.
The keeper of a small boarding
house expressed a desire to purchase
the turkey on account of the extra
leg, and said he would like to have a
whole coop of them, and would like
them to have four legs, if possible
When asked why he desired so
many legs on turkeys. he said he al
ways liked the leg of a turkey, and
he had three boarders, and when
there was turkey for dinner he al
ways asked them what part they pre-
ferred, and all three of them always
wanted a drumstick
OF course, only two of them could
be suited, and he never got a drum
stick The last time all three of the
boarders asked for a leg off one bird
he lost his temper, and said he
guessed they must think he was cary
ing a centipede.
After buying the three-legged tur-
key he found that the extra leg grew
out of another one at the knee Joint,
and would be gone when the fowl
was put on the table, and so after all
the turkey had only two legs and a
half.--Portland Oregonian

Tired of Duplication.

A teacher in a national school, who
had been much annoyed by truancy,
has recently been stringent in en-
forcing the rule that her scholars, on
their return to school after an abb
sence, must bring her a note stating
in full the cause of such absence, the
note to be in the writing of a parent
or guardian
The following is a note brought by
one of her pupils after two weeks
absence:
Louisa was absent monday, please
excuse her.
Louisa was absent toosday, she
had a sore throte.
Louisa was absent wensday, she

Cow Peas in the Orchard.

On fifteen acres of a ten-year-o1d
orchard, which the preceding year had
been cultivated in corn and previously
had been down to pasture, clay soil
no better nor worse than thousands
of acres of land in the southern part
of the state, nine acres of COW peas
were sown broadcast, June 3, 1901.
The balance of the orchard was cuIti-
waited at the same time, but received
no further attention, except about one
acre, which was planted in potatoes.
The peas came on we'll, and in ten
days had covered the ground. One
could see but little difference in the
early part of the season, but by the
first of August the hot, dry weather
began to tell. Where the potatoes
were, the leaves on the trees were
brown and looked dark and the fruit
dropped badly. On the five-acre part
the same condition prevailed, but per-
haps not to so great an extent, while
where the peas were the trees looked
thrifty and the foliage dark and green
Many a passer-by remarked, What
makes those trees look SO thrifty,
while others show the effects of the
drouth ?' When picking time came
the real difference was apparent; the
potato patch yielded neither apples
nor potatoes The potatoes were not
worth digging, and three barrels of
No. 2 fruit was the best it yielded.
The five acres did some better, but
it is enough to say that the sorting

barrels and took about sixty bushels

In Favor of the DuaI-Purpose Cow.
Prof. w. ]. Kennedy: When land
reaches the one hundred-dollar mark
it requires careful farming and stock
raising to return a paying profit on
the Investment But the Iowa farmer
must. not abandon stockraising, else
his land will surely deteriorate in
value. In many of the eastern states
when land advanced in value the own
ers considered it too valuable for
stockraising, thus in many instances
they went out of the busines. What
has been the result? There is but one
outcome to any such practice, which is
wornout farms, which, in many in
stances, have been deserted. They
have been taught a valuable lesson,
one which the farmer of the central
west should not have to learn through
experience. Successful farming can
not be carried on continuously with
out live stock Commercial fertilizers
may apparently answer the purpose
for a short time, but soil fertility may
only be maintained in one way and
this is by stock farming. In England
stock farming is the mainstay of the
farmer and land is worth twice what
it is here. In the Island of Jersey
acre, still live stock, especially dairy
farming, is their main occupation. If
Iowa farm lands are to maintain their
present values, and they surely will.
it will be because the farmers will ad-
here to the live stock business. In
this respect no line of live stock is
better adapted to our conditions than
beef cattle when produced from dual
purpose cows. The COW that will net
her owner forty dollars or upwards
for the butter fat sold and at the
same time produce a calf which can
be marketed at the age of two and
half years weighing in the neighbor-
hood of 1900 pounds. Such method
is practicable, and when adopted by
the Iowa farmer he will not consider
land too valuable even at $3.50 per
acre for the economical production of
beef.

Cattle Need Fattenina.

The unprecedented rush of cattle.
particularly low grade beef animals
to the Chicago market to compete with
holiday poultry, is unfortunate
enough, but the situation has been
made still more difficult by a shortage
of cars and engines caused by the coal
traffic. This has seriously interfered
with the export trade in meat and cat
tie. Even if corn is high it would
surely be better to hold half fat ami
mails until conditions for marketing
improve than to forward them and so
congest the channels of trade that the
bottom drops out of prices. In most
parts of the country the season has
been good and feed supplies are
abundant. There seems no good rea-
son for the mad rush to dispose of
cattle which, unless all signs fail will
be worth far more per pound a few
weeks hence than they are now. Good
beef is always in demand and feeders
who are looking for sure thing can
not afford to curtail the fattening.

Is MIX AduIteration pecreasinq7

The Dairy World, of London, Eng
land, says: That adulteration of milk
is on the decrease is shown by the
figures published by the Board of Ag-
ricIlture for the ten years 1S90-19O0.
The highest percentage of adulteration
(14.9) was for the year 1898, when
2,310 samples out of 15.543 which were
examined, were declared to be aduiter-
ated. In 1900, the number of adulter-
ated samples was 2,497 out of total
of 1929, being percentage of 10-S.
This is even better t1an it looks. as
prior to 1900 the Somerset House STAN
dard for fat was 2.75 per cent. while
at the later period it was per cent.
