A LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.
Public Property in the Far West Sold
Too Cheaply.
The Homemaker.

The Homemaker.
The tremendous activity which is appar-
ent throughout the Western States and
territories in filing upon government land
under the various land laws is statistically
confirmed by a preliminary statement
which was made by the commissioner of
the General Land Office. showing the land
business done by the government during
the fiscal year just ended. There were
1912, 600 acres of public land passed into
private ownership, an increase of about
the cash receipts were over $10500,000 an
enormous increase-about 20 per cent. over
increase in the purchase Of timber land
and the communication in homesteads.
Both of these laws are continually and
shamelessly abused.
1t Is generally admitted that the finest
remaining government timber land-in Ore
gon and Washington-worth twenty times
the price asked per acre. is being bought
I'm by the big lumber companies in great
tracts, Notwithstanding that the timber
law provides that the applicant must be
b aed no for himself uha1 and ne e
pose OF transferring IL TO some one else
The Communication clause of the homestead
law is likewise being fagrantly abused.
and the result is that very large areas OF
land are being committed. not for the
benefit of the settlers. but in behalf of
various Western interests which furnish
the necessary money TO commute.
OF these cash receipts of over $4,000. 900
about three-quarters go into the arid land
reclamation fund, which now amounts to
fully $50 900. This is available to-day
for national irrigation work. The surveys
by the engineers of the geological survey
are progressing in every part of the West
and it is probable that the next half year
will see four or five large contracts let
The rapid growth of this irrigation fund
would be n matter of congratulation We're
IL not for the fact that a tremendous sacri-
flee of valuable government property has
been made to realize this money What
the real value of this large acreage of land
passed into private ownership. would be to
the Nation il is difficult to say, but IL is
far and away in excess of the pittance
received for tia fact acknowledged by
every student of the land and water ques-
ton in the West.
Those who are opposed to the movement
to repeal the laws under which this mis-
appropriation of the public domain is going
on urge with much vehemence that il
would never do TO cut off this source of
revenue to the reclamation fund In other
words. they would convince the people that
after all the proper method is TO kill the
goose that lays the golden egg.

In Minnesota Prof. Millet NJ. Hays has
been placed In charge of the movement TO
introduce agriculture in the rural schools.
A bulletin has been prepared and published
for the use OF teachers. The book COM
periments, and a copy will be furnished to
each rural teacher in the State. Timely
exercises and studies are provided for each
season of the year. and the topics under
consideration are those of greatest practi-
cal moment to the farmers of Minnesota.
Each topic Is treated under four subdivi-
sions: First. the object sought; second, ma
terials TO be used; third. plan of work;
fourth. suggestive facts 10 the teacher
istry, stock feeding, housekeeping. dairy
ing. cooking and sewing are thus system
atically treated by educational experts.
The system Is not expected 10 work Its
way alone and unassisted among the teach
ers, but the State Department of Public In
struction for Minnesota has employed three
skilled instructors. whose duty IL shall be
and impart 10 them the most practical
modes of instruction relating to these in
dustrial subjects.
The Minnesota plan of introducing rural
training in the public schools affords food
for thought to the students and advocates
of agricultural education and training. The
plan appears 10 be both sensible and expedi-
able to adopt it. This educational work in
Minnesota is TO be carried on I'm addition to
the well supported farmers Institutes and
the efficient agricultural college.

The usual plan of selecting the seed corn
during husking or from the stock stored in
the cribs is not good one at any season,
and is particularly undesirable in season
like the present, when the crop is not all
that is desirable. The best plan is to make
an effort, by early selection Of plants, to
grow perfect ears for seed purposes. but if
this is neglected, the next best plan is to 60
through the field before the corn is cut or
husked and select the ears that are to be
used for seed. 1t may take a man all day
TO do this, but IL carefully DONE he will
have seed that will amount to something.
These seed ears should be taken to the
barn, and after being carefully husked,
hung up in strings on the rafters of a dry
building or laid on a shelf where they will
have good circulation of air, but in dry
room. Try this simple plan of saving seed
corn for several years, and you will be
surprised at the improvement In the strain.

The attention of the Western Passenger
Association has been called to the new
form of swindle perpetrated by class Of
brokers who go from city to city with
various conventions and are known as
floating brokers. According to the infor-
nation furnished by Chairman Mcleod and
by him transmitted to roads composing
the association, the brokers open tenn
porary offices in cities where there are
a large number Of exoursionists. their stock
in trade consisting of excursion tickets
largely. 1t is hoped that the confusion
arising from the various forms of contract
tickets now in use by the railroads is in
a fair way to be done away with.

A Good Pickle for Beef and Pork.


The following recipe comes well recon-
mended and when directions are closely OBJ
served good results will undoubtedly fol-
low. Take for every 100 pounds of meat
seven pounds of salt, five pounds of brown
sugar and one and one-half ounces of salt
peter and boil in four gallons of water,
carefully Swimming until all impurities are
removed and scum rises to the surface.
Pack the meat in perfectly clean tub, or
barrel. and after the brine has become cool
pour over the meat until ii covers ii. The
meat must be examined from time to time.
If mold should form the brine must be
reboiled and skinned before. In this
case it is well to change the position of
the pieces, putting the upper below, and
vice versa. Should the brine sour in con-
sequence of bad air neglect it must be
thrown away. the barrel be thoroughly
cleaned and fresh brine made. No better
tasting picked meat can be found than
that which has been put up in this man
