AscENDANcY OF THE FARMER.

The following statement has recent
ly appeared in the daily press, and re-
fers to one of the states of the West:
In compiling the house directory of the
next general assembly the secretary of the
state finds, with all but six members having
reported, that the farmers are considerably
more numerous in the house than in the sem
ate, while the lawyers are not so numerous.
There will be thirty-one farmers in the
house, while the lawyers number only about
ten.
To our way of thinking this is one
of the most hopeful signs of the times.
while we favor the election of the
strongest men for the representative
and senatorial offices, both in state
and nation, yet we are persuaded that
among the farmers of the country
may be found just as good talent for
such Offices as can be found among
the professions, manufacturers, or
men who follow mercantile pursuits.
If half of our people live on the
farms, is it not reasonable that half
of our representatives and senators
should be from the farms? 1t seemed
for time as though the thickly popu-
lated centers were likely to furnish
the great majority of law makers, but
an instance of this kind indicates that
farmers as class are becoming arOus-
ed to their interests, as we'll as to the
interests of their country. We do not
claim that all persons who represent
the farm class are above reproach,
nor do we think that all persons repre-
senting other industries and profess
sions are dishonest, but we believe
that it must be conceded that on the
whole you will find more sterling hon.
esty among farmers than among any
other class or classes. This may be
accounted for by the fact that the
farmer lives in purer atmosphere,
morally speaking. On the farm there
is not the same temptation to corrup
ton as is the case in our populated
centers, and as a result it is here that
we find the best timber for law max
ers.-IOWa Homestead.

investigations it has been shown that
it is generally advisable to feed whole
milk for a period of three weeks or
one omnth, after which the skinned
product may be substituted in part,
taking a week or two to make COM
plete substitution. In some cases
fair degree of success has followed
the practice of beginning the skim
milk after one week, but the average
man will have better results from
feeding new milk little longer. Just
as soon as the young animal is placed
on the skim milk ration it should be
taught to eat meal, although in some
cases the practice is adopted OF feed
ing corn meal or fax seed meal in
the milk. The results that follow this
method are hardly so good as where
the meal is fed dry, because in this
case it is more completely masticated
before being swallowed. Care must
be taken not to give too much milk
at any time, because an overdose may
affect the young animal injuriously.
The calf should be taught to eat solid
foods as early as possibly. This may
be done by throwing few whole oats
in the milk, and in this way the calf
when he gets through with it's liquid
diet will find some oats in its mouth,
so that the eating habit becomes fixed
almost at once. There is nothing bet
ter for a young calf than whole oats
fed in conjunction with skim milk,
and especially if these are supplement-
ed with some good second-crop clover
hay If the calf is intended for the
dairy care should be taken in order
not to get it too fat, but ordinarily
when milk is fed there is not much
danger in this respect. Regular feed
ing is very important. If variety
of grains are fed and the milk is
heated GA temperature of about 80
degrees before feeding, the calf may
be raised on such ration almost as
we'll as if it is fed the whole milk.

THE GINSENG BOOM.

J. A. Balmer, formerly hOrticultur-
list of the Washington State Expert
ment Station, now successful florist
at Clealum, Wash, sends us the fol-
lowing:
At the present time many OF the ag-
ricultural papers of the country are
advertising and recommending that
farmers grow ginseng, and those who
have ginseng seed or roots for sale
are sending their circulars broadcast
over the land, telling OF the wonder
full profits which are to be secured by
all who grow ginseng. While we do
not wish to in any way injure the
business of any one, yet we do wish
to warn the farmers of the West
against investing heavily in ginseng.
Without doubt some few have made
money on ginseng, but for one man
who has made money, one hundred
have lost it. The amount OF profits
which we are told can be realized
upon one acre is simply startling; but
when it is known that these profits
are never realized except theoretical
ly, it becomes a different proposition.
have investigated carefully the gin
seng industry in central New York,
having visited many gardens, and
am certain that there is no profit
whatever for the ordinary farmer.
If one desires to purchase few
ginseng seeds, or better yet, few
ginseng roots to experiment with, he
will probably receive information
enough to pay him for the money ex-
pended, but he should not be disap-
pointed if he receives no financial
returns from his investment, and he
should charge up the money spent
as tuition for his education.
Let the other fellow make the profit
on ginseng.

SHALL WE FEED BUTTER FAT TO
CALVES.
CALVES.

The man whose business it is to
breed beef animals would in all likeli-
hood answer the above query in the
affirmative, while the dairyman or the
man who is engaged in both the beef
making and dairy industry will ans
wer it in the negative. Most of our
scientific works on agriculture teach
that the young animal requires flesh
forming foods in abundance in order
that muscular tissue may be built up.
This being true, does it not follow
that the removal of butter fat from
milk will even improve it for calf
feeding purposes, for the simple rea-
son that it tends to increase the pro-
portion of flesh-fOrming constituents?
While in theory this is true, yet it is
a fact that the Swimming of milk does
not improve it for the calf, doubtless
because the removal of the fat re-
duces the supply Of energy-producing
and fat-prOducing constituents. 1t is
very hard to improve on natures own
methods, and consequently when it
seems desirable to extract the butter
fat it is advisable to supplement some
other form of food to take it's place.
With butter selling at about quarter
of a dollar a pound and corn selling
for less than one cent a pound, if the
latter may be substituted for the for
mer in feeding calf, then there is a
great saving effected.
Where one is in a position to re-
move the butter fat and feed the
skim milk in sweet, warm condition
calves may be made to do almost as
well if little corn meal is fed as
if they ere supplied with whole milk.
The skim milk calf at one time was
the subject of good deal of railery,
but that day has passed, because of
the fact that our experiment stations
have made Investigations, the results
of which have shown men how to
keep the calf in a good thrifty condi-
ton by the use of skim milk and
grains or meal. AS a result OF these

Popular errors with regard to An
CORA goats have done good deal to
retard the real progress of the indus
try. The mistaken belief that goats
are practically free from dieases and
pest; that they will live on anything,
and require no care are among these.
Acting upon these supposed facts men
have bought diseased goats, or they
have bought healthy goats and al
lawed them to die of starvation or
neglect and they and their neighbOrs
have concluded that goats are un-
profitable in many places where heal
thy goats properly cared for would
be useful and profitable as any do
nestle animal. Not long ago a man
invested all the money he had, about
$4,000, in flock of Angoras. After he
had bought them and placed them up
on excellent brousing grounds the
goats began to die. He learned that
the goats remaining with the man
from whom he purchased were also
dying rapidly. The indications, point
ed plainly to bad case OF infection
with internal parasites. This man had
read most fthe available literature
on Angoras and believed that goats
were almost exempt from disease.
This belief was in fact prevalent until
within three or four years. We now
know that goats are as much subject
to injury from liver-fluKe, tapeworms,
stomach worms and lung worms, and
the same precautions should be taken
to keep them from infection with
these pests. Angora goats have paid
as well for their care as any other

For a few moments the writer min
gled with the gambler, the book ma
ker and the beer seller at our State
Agricultural Fair Prior to that few
moments a good full day had been
spent in looking at some as fine stock
as was ever gathered in this state
of Herefords, Shorthorns, Jerseys, Hol-
stems and many other cattle. Perch
erons, Clydes, French COACH runners
and trotters and a long list of pure
bred swine and sheep. 1t was an eye
opener as to the resources and the live
stock development of the state. 1t
was a genuine pleasure. But to stand
and watch the faces of the jostling
crowd about the book-makers stands,
one can not help but ask ARE these
agriculturists and is it for this that
the state appropriates money!" There
were some faces like that of the typi-
cal tough with blear eyes and swollen
face, others less SO, and many faces,
which indicated degree OF refine
ment, but no agriculturist.
1t is a pleasure, it is an inspiration,
to witness a test of strength or of
speed of horses. The rivalry it has
LIDS given ChO lWO uAihooO,
instead of the three minute horse and
the Percheron and other magnificent
draft animals instead of the scrub
Yet the odium which has been attach
ed to a test of speed in horses is such
that man of ordinary SentitiveneSs,
and who is usually truthful along 9th
er lines, will instantly and emphatic
ally lie, rather than to admit that he
was at "horse race"
Just such scenes as that at this
fair is responsible for this feeling.
1t is claimed that fair is not a
success without this element to make
it so. But in California it has been
fully tested and after years of failure
the state was compelled to liquidate
$4,000 deficit. This year the promise
was for an agricultural fair. 1t was
partially fulfilled In the face OF the
total failure of the former manage
ment, it will be wise if the taxpayers
will insist that an exhibition of the
states resources be given as thorough
and complete test as that Of the
fairs" of the past.
This is not written from the stand
point of the moralist but as purely
business matter in which we believe
the tax payers do not wish to appro-
pirate funds to support practices
which are made criminal in many cit
les in this state.
