1t Probably Will BE Iatro,,ue@d Into
the Western States.
Seeds of a wonderful pant called
'berSeem" have been brought 10 this
country from Egypt by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and efforts will
probably be made TO Introduce it In
regions of the United States to which
it is adapted. Ii is otherwise known
as Egyptian clover" being nearly re-
lated to ordinary clover
Berseem is likely TO be specially
valuable to the irrigated and orchard
lands of California and Texas. and it
is thought that the Colorado desert,
with its rich sou and abundance of
water obtainable by irrigation, would
furnish an IDEAL place for trial of
the plant. Its yield of seed is much
heavier than that of clover, and it
develops at a marvellous rate. outgrow-
ing most weeds and actually killing
out the later. reports the Saturday
Evening Post. Or. David Fairchild
agricultural explorer of the depart
ment. says that while Egypts great
money-making crop is COTTON. the foun-
dalton of her prosperity rests upon the
berSeem.
DIR. Fairehnd says that there are
few countries in the world to-day
where agriculture pays better than it
does in Egypt. though the methods of
blowing and seeding practiced by the
people have scaIcely changed at all
in thirty centurids. 4 million acres of
berSeem is grow in the Valley of the
Nile. where it affords a conspicuous
feature of the most beautiful crop

earth. It's white Towering heads pre-

Butter that Will Keep.

It may be laid down as a given rule
that the longer you churn the more
water will be retained in the butter,
SAYS L. s. Hardin in Jersey Bulletin
On this question the Wisconsin station
reports that in trials, stopping the
churn when the granules were from
the size of clover seed to the size of
grains of corn. the average water con-
tents of the butter churned to large
granules was 1880 per cent and OF the
butter churned to small granules Il. 10
per cent, with. of course. similar work
ing and sailing The old style of
churning until all the butter formed
in one large lump put the greatest
quantity of water in it. which had to
be worked out at the imminent peril
of its grain. Conclusion: To make
dry. long keeping. well-favored butter,
stop the churn when the butter breaks
to the size of clover SEEDS, and wash
the milk out with cold water: then
press that water out with as light
working as possible.

Harrow for vineyards and Orchards.
To the constant working of the soil,
the puiverizing of clods and removal
of the weeds is due in large measure
the productiveness of the best orch
ards and Vineyards and if this work
be done with an ordinary cultivator it
not infrequently happens that the ma
chine comes in contact with the trees
or vines. injuring the bark and endan-
gering the life of the trees 1T is the
idea Of the inventor in introducing

vide n machine especially forf this
class Of work, which will enable the
driver to run in close proximity to the
trees or vines, and even come in con
tact with them, without injury to the
bark. In manufacturing this machine
a circular frame of channel iron is
used as a mounting for the teeth. with
spokes leading to central hub. the
latter being connected directly to the
beam of the cultivator The outer

Decline in Dairy Exports.

Official figures show quite decline
in our exports of dairy products, says
National Stockman. 1t may at first
seem deplorable that great export
trade In these products cannot be
maintained, but closer study will leave
small reason for regret. A big export
trade in butter and cheese is based
on low prices and cannot exist other
wise. When prices here are good, they
are toe nigh for foreigners, and they
cease to buy largely. All efforts to
stimulate the export trade have been
futile in the face of this fundamental
fact and always will be. Inferior
products have done much to injure our
trade in dairy products abroad, but
that is the only quality that could be
secured cheap enough to suit the for
eigner. Fraudulent products are no
longer a drawback. and if our export
trade does not increase it is for the
good reason of dollars and cents in IA
vor of the home market.

Geese are scavengers, like sheep.
They will thrive in summer on any
rough pasturage accessible to water.

grass just suits them. They will foul

be trusted TO take care of themselves

are as much grazing animals as horses
or cattle. In summer they need very
little grain if they have grass or .vege-

a VEGETARIAN CHURCH.
It's Essential Tcuet IL that Men Shall
Eat No Meat.


Eat No Meat.
1t may not be known to many that
there lis a Vegetarian Church, whose
chief tenet is that men should eat no
fneat. This church has only one meet
ing house in America and only forty
members here. In England it has only
one meeting house, and only seventy
Eve members. And yet it is church
nearly 100 years old. It's American
meeting house is in Philadelphia, and
its American leader is Rev. Henry S.
Club. an old-time friend of Horace
Greeley
In 1907 an Englishman, Rev. w.
Cowherd of Manchester, founded this
branch of the Bible Christians, and to-
day. after the passage of nearly 100
years, they are still existent, and are
still almost unknown. In q eir two
churches-the English one, i'll Man
9cnester. and the American one in
Pbiladelphia-it is possible TO see little
children whose fathers and mothers,
grandfathe-s and grandmothers, and
whose great-graHdfathers and great
Grandmothers never once in their lives
tasted meat; little children are as ig-
norant of the taste of meat as ordinary
persons are ignorant of the taste Of
human flesh. For vegetarianisru is the
cldef article OF their creed.
With their century of abstinence
from meat they afford a good example

The Acc of sheen.

The age of sheep is very easily shown
by an examination of the teeth, A
lamb has the first pair Of permanent
front teeth when about ten months old
the second pair appears at about eight
cen months, the third pair at twenty
eight months and the fourth at about
thirty-three or forty months. When he
whole of the permanent front teeth
have appeared the sheep is in its fourth
year The Merino natures It's teeth
later than the other breeds; the Cots
void and Southdowns and other highly
improved mutton sheep are some
months ahead of a Merino, but at four
years every sheep has it's full mouth of
teeth. Later, the age is known by the
appearance of the teeth, which grad
ually lose their sharp edges and he
come worn down smooth. A healthy

ten or twelve years old. If the pasture
is not unusually bare, and the soil
