VINO Paws For mai. Magnificenee?

Who Pays for This Magnificence?
The special train on which President
Roosevelt will make his campaigning
trip for the next Presidential nomina-
ton is described as a marvel of mag
nificence Nothing like the cars ever
was seen. Compared to the Presidents
train. those of King Edward and Kai-
ser Williams would look like an Amer
lean train of emigrant cars.
The fact is that essentially this is a
''deadhead" train The President and
his companions are guests of the rail
road companies over whose various
lines they are carried in this compara-
lively luxurious style.
They enjoy the .hospitalities" of the
railroads. If there is any arrangement
for reduced fare-and everybody knows
that they are not paying full fare-it is
a fragrant violation Of the interstate
commerce act and the Elkins law.
The railroads can afford to make this
concession even If the sacrifice amounts
to the entire sum which their passen-
gers would pay at full rates. 1t Is a
splendid advertisement. They will pick
up along the route thousands of passen-
gers going TO the towns where the Pres
ident will make his spectacular appear
ances. They have big government con-
tracts for mail and other transporta-
ton IT viii be money in their pockets.
Looked at from the other slde-the

Profit in Summer Feeding.

The greatest profit is usually deriy-
ed from the live stock during the sum-
mer months. This is not due to the
higher market prices, but to the adj
vantages afforded by the spring and
summer conditions, and to the cheap
food that may be had in the form of
pasture. Clover, rape and blue grass,
with grain food, will so cheaper the
cost of producing pound of flesh that
good profits are secured with a lower
selling price. The farmer should plan
to take every advantage Of these favor
able conditions afforded by the warm
spring days. The young pigs. the frol-
licking lambs. the romping calves can
at this season give the best account of
the food they consume. 1t is the young
animals that pay so well in the spring.
The man with abundant pasture and q
goodly number of well-bred young ami
mails to use it is sure to reap good
harvest from his summers investment.

full experiments along this line are
needed. Last spring eggs kept FIVE
weeks seemed to hatch as we'll as those
which were fresh laid. How much
longer they would have kept is uncer-
tain Probably five or six weeks is
close to the limit. These eggs were
kept in a cool roof in March and April
and were not turned. The daily turn
ing often advised and for which pate 1T
racks and cases have been devised is
not strictly necessary. But old eggs
and fresh eggs should not be mixed In

ing will be uneven. The length and
manner of keeping eggs for Matching

March eggs are fertile there is no
reason why they should not be saved

1t Is a general custom among farm

idea being that they are thus given the

Tie Draining.

Tile draining will undoubtedly be
given more attention In the future than
it has been during the past. On land
that is naturally wet the drains will
pay for themselves in two years. provid-
ing there is good outlet and they are
properly put down. 1t frequently hap
pens that thorough system of drain
age is not necessary. providing the
sloughs are under drained These are
generally the most productive parts of
the farm when they are brought into
condition by removing the water. On
level lands one can make considerable
fall by cutting the drains more shallow
at the upper end. Tiling out land under
any conditions is expensive work, and
it will generally pay to employ the SER
vices of surveyor, providing the own
er is not expert in the use of the level.
In the past there has been considerable
waste on account of using small tile.
Four-inch tile seem to be the smallest
recommended for lateral drains. Out
lets should be built up with brick or
stone so as to keep them in good shape.

against hogs, if the wires are put close
enough together. One of the difficulties
one has in building wire fences is to
find some way of effectually bracing
the posts. No better plan is in use than
the one shown in the cut, which con-
sists simply of fastening a strong wire
strand to the corner post of the fence,
carrying it off eight feet and looping it
about the brace post, as shown. This
brace post should be made of tough
wood and driven into the ground far
enough to stand the strain On it. This
is a simple plan and works success

Depth of Breakinc for Corn.

Oepth OF breaking Tor corn
The proper depth for breaking corn
land is, like many other problems per-
tanning to farm management, a de-
batable question and one that cannot
be correctly answered without a care
full consideration of the particulars.
One rule-with many exceptions, how
ever-is to break deep for corn. Corn
belongs to the grass family, and is
therefore a surface feeder. 1t is, how
ever, acquiring habit of permeating
the soil to much greater depth than do
the uncultivated grasses. Under most
conditions the ground that is broken
eight to ten inches deep will grow the
greatest amount of corn. Deep break
ing has many advantages larger
amount of soil is stirred, the supply of
plant food is increased, and most i'm
portant of all is the large increase in
the amount of moisture the soil will
hold for plant growth.
The disadvantage in deep breaking is
met with on land that has been hard
cropped and in which the subsoil is
largely devoid of fertilizing ingredi-
ents. Such soil. if broken deep, will
produce a seed bed having a top sur
face of earth without food for the seed
it terminates. The plants then are
compelled to starve until they can send
their roots down into the artificial soil
