iOSpcTlly lOllOWS4 just as surely IN
the wake of the COW and the creamery
as chinch bugs and soil paralysis do in
the wake Of the wheat and cotton
farming.
People will always want plenty OF
fresh eggs. good milk, fruits and veg
etables, and sny one who can produce
these things will never have to hunt
for buyers.
There are thousands of western pas
lures which this season are carrying
from $5 to $12 worth Of white clover:
seed to the acre if there was any
means Of securing it.
Birds quit singing and caroling just
as soon as they are through with the
business Of mating and nesting. In
which respect they very much resem-
bic good many married couples whom
we know.
Weather conditions have cut down
the early estimates Of the wheat crop
for 1908, which forecasted the largest
crop ever produced, but even with all
losses counted out the crop is likely
to be bumper one.
The growing of coffee at present
prices being Improbable to the Brazil
ian coffee grower, the government Of
that country is going to step in and
help him out by paying bounties Of $6,-
100000 to the producers.
One important factor in the agricul-
tural prosperity Of the west lies in the
almost total absence Of hog cholera at
the present time. We can't recall a
time when there was greater immunity
from hog disease than there is now.
At points on the new Siberian rail
way the finest wheat is produced and
sold for the small sum of so cents per
bushel, this wheat raised by peasant
ry not as yet possessing a single mad
ern implement or tool for the produc-
tion Of the crop.
Paint worth $25 and weeks work,
partly put in by applying the paint and
part in ''clarin'" up, would add 500
to hundreds Of farm homesteads in
selling value and give evidence to the
public that a civilized Christian gentle
man owned the premises.
What is known as sun blight or fire
blight in fruit trees, particularly apple
and pear trees, is highly contagious.
Appearing first in varieties of trees
specially susceptible to the disease. it
is readily communicated to others
which are not so subject. This fact
bars pears, the Transcendent crab, the
Tetofsky apple and other Russian va
rieties from our orchards.
Unless woman is dead set on lug
ging in her supply of water for use
from the well, and there are some
such women. every man should see if
there is not some way in which the in
dispenSable matter of water supply
can be furnished for the home in the
most convenient way. Where the wind
mill furnishes the power 1t is, an easy
matter to arrange system of domestic
waterworks, making all the water
used pass through tank in the house,
when it may be tapped and used under
pressure.
The Capitalization Of the creamery
interests of the country is progressing
at rapid rate. and the days of the To-
cal creamery seem to be numbered Tie
introduction and the use of the farm
have made this process of
consolidation possible, and without it
the change could never have taken
place. The bad roads. which have for
long period this year made the delivery
of milk at the creamery almost impos-
sible, are another factor in promoting
the change. Some of these large trust
creameries are now drawing the cream
from distance of 500 miles.
No crop which is generally grown
has greater recuperative power than
corn. Through the corn growing belt
the adverse climatic conditions of May
and June may leave the crop on the
lst of July in stunted. backward
and altogether unpro1nising condition,
but if it has been well cultivated UP to
that time the tropical heat Of July,
August and half Of September will do,
with it and often insure fine
crop where it had seemed impossible.
We are very much of the opinion that
September is really the crucial month
If the corn growing season. When this
month is hot and frostless it has much
TO- do with the filing Of empty corn

1t is well to discriminate in assigning
.auses for the disastrous foods of the
year in the western sections. The food
which swept the Kaw valley in Kan

be traced to the cutting away Of the
Forests. as the country which these
