Mr.. Carleton also reports a bread
test in which loaves of bread We're sent
out to 200 people whose opinion was
desired. Each person received one loaf
made from durum wheat and II made
from the best hard spring wheat, with
no intimation of the nature of the flour
from which they We're made.

Agricultural Notes.

Usually it is not the cow that has
the bad temper to begin with, but the
man who handles her.
Missouri is right in the front with
the study of agriculture in the public
schools.
There is much talk Of "back to the
land nowadays. But. according to
Professor Thompson of the Ohio Agri-
cultural college, the tendency away
from the farm is 50 manifest as to be
the cause Of great anxiety in many
communities.
Reports Of the barley crop convey
the impression that increased attention
is being given to this crop, especially
in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
The brewing business takes a great
part Of the crop. Barley is also extern
sively fed to horses on the Pacific
| coast.
The tendency to small farms highly
cultivated is noted by a farm paper
with the comment that even in tn
eastern states this will be fastened b,
the development of irrigation.
Late blight has caused much loss 4

WORKING the Butter.

Great care should be taken to have
butter a right temperature for working
usually between 80 and 30 degrees.
There will then be a sufficient amount
of moisture in the butter to dissolve
the salt, and a reasonable amount of
working say twenty-five to twenty
four turns Of the butter worker or
about thirty revolutions Of a combined
churn under average conditions-will
insure surplus and the retention of
sufficient moisture, and all this without
sacrificing the waXiness and grain Sc
characteristic of good butter. Such but
ter should possess good keeping quail

DRAINAGE CONDITIONS.
Iowa Experience That II Of Interest
to Landowners In General.

Iowa Experience That Il of Interest
to Landowners In General.
BY w. Fl. STEVENSON. Iowa State Col
The landowner should look upon
drainage purely as an investment. Will
the improvement pay him a satisfac-
tory per cent on the outlay? His land
is his business capital. He has in
vested a certain sum of money in it
and must look to the produce of the
land for returns. Therefore he must
weigh carefully the problems which
have to do with the cultivation of his
land. for these problems sustain a most
intimate relation to profit and loss.
Successful farming demands right
methods of blowing and cultivation.
1t demands the maintenance of the
supply of available plant food in the
soil and the preserving of satisfactory
physical conditions. These results can
be secured only by means of drainage
which removes the surplus moisture
from the soil. 1t has also been found
that tile drainage is better than sur
face drainage.
A Modern Factor In Farming.
A comparatively new factor has gov
erned the drainage improvements for
agricultural purposes within the past
two or three decades. Formerly when
arabic land was cheap and abundant
the farmer did not make an effort to
bring into cultivation those portions of
his farm which required the eXpendi-
ture of time and labor to reclaim from
surplus water. But conditions and lane
values have changed. Now every pro-
gresSive landowner regards each I'M
productive acre of land a source Of an
nual loss. He pays taxes upon it,
fences it and loses time and money
when he endeavors to plow and cult
vate adjacent land. But this is not
all. There is another source of even
greater loss. UNFRAMED land is prac-
tically worthless, whereas in many in
stances the expenditure of a certain
sum, even as high as 500 or $50, in
draining an acre of wet, unproductive
land would make it worth approx
mately 500, for after this improve
ment has been made it would be capa-
BILE of returning g., Z and often a higher
per cent ON this valuation.

Live Eggs For Sale.

A new practice of selling live eggs
which is now receiving some atten-
ton in England is mentioned by an eH-
change. It seems that when the eggs
are about three or four days from the
Matching time they are packed very
warmly and shipped sometimes hun
dreds of miles to those who buy them.
When the eggs are thus far along in
incubation they are hard to kill by IL
variation in heat. and this is taken ad-
vantage Of in the method described.
The prices Of these eggs are somewhat
higher than those which are obtained
for the eggs that are untried as to their
fertility, for. the risks that are run
when the trains are closely timed and
the eggs sent accordingly are small.

HANDY WAY OF HANGING UP A HOG.
to the carcass. While being scalded the
hog should be kept moving constantly
to avoid cooking the skin. Occasional
ly it should be drawn out Of the waite
to air, when the hair may be tried"
As soon as hair and scurf slip easily
from the surface scalding is complete.
If it is suspected that the water is too
hot, scald the hind end first; if too cold,
the front end, in order to always get a
good scald on the head, which is diff
cult to clean.
When the hair starts readily, remove
the animal from the water and begin
scraping. The head and feet should be
cleaned first, as they cool quickly
and do not clean SO easily when cold.
The head can best be cleaned with Il
small round tool called a 'candlestick"
scraper. The hands and a knife viii
answer where such a scraper is not to
be had. The feet and legs are easily
cleaned by grasping them firmly with
the hands and twisting around and
back. Clean the body by pulling out
the long bristles by hand and removing
the scurf and fine hair with a scraper
a long corn knife or other tool. Rims,
over the entire carcass with hot water.
then shave it with a sharp knife.
Clean the ears and nose thoroughly
aud the feet clear to the hoofs. Raise
the gambrel cords, insert the stick and
hang up the hog. Wash down with hot
water, again shave over any ~unt1nlshe}
patches and rinse with cold water.

Details of ScaldinE. scraping and
Hanging Up "a Carcass.
In scraping a hog a strong table
built for the purpose would be a very
desirable thing on which to work. At
the time the hog is scalded the water
should be at Il temperature Of 1S5 to
1876 degrees. If the water is too hot
the hair is likely to set, causing even
more trouble than if too cold. If the
water is boiling when taken from the
stove and put into a cold barrel the
temperature will be about right. If the
barrel is hot. as it would be ordinarily
for the second hog scalded, add a half
pail of cold water. a small ~shovelful

from the body. though it has no effect
In loosening the hair. A lump of lime.

or a tablespoonful, of concentrated I've

The hog should not be scalded before
life is extinct or the blood in the small
blood vessels near the surfaced theskin
will be cooked, giving a reddish tinge

RAISING FALL CALVES.
With Warm Quarters and Good Care
Success Is Assured.

The better prices secured for dairy
products in winter have influenced
many progressive farmers to have
quite a number of calves dropped in
the fall of the year says Farmers AID
vocate.
To raise fall calves successfully it
is necessary in the first place to pro-
vide warm quarters for them. A box
stall where they can run loose after
receiving their milk allowance both
in the morning and evening is prefera-
bic to q stall in which they must be
tied all the time. Some means for ty-
ing them while they are drinking their
milk and eating their grain, however,
should be provided in order to keep
them from sucking each other, as this
is an injurious habit.
Skim milk is the most economical
food for calves, and since the advent
Of the hand separator this may be fed
without any trouble Whatsoever pro-
vided it is always fed at a certain uni
form temperature very nearly that Of
freshly drawn milk. 1t is moi neces-

ger than a week or ten days. After
that time skim milk may gradually be
substituted for whole milk until at
the end Of two weeks the calf is get
ting nothing but skim milk. AS soon
as this point has been reached add
about a teaspoonful of ground flax mot
daxseed meal from which the oil has
been extracted) to each feed. Flax,
being rich in fat, supplies the fat re-
moved from the milk by the separator,
and as this fat has the same food value
as has butter fat it is equally valua-
BILE as a calf food.
We have used the raw ground fax
with excellent success for many years
and know it to be an excellent food.
| A teaspoonful Of flax meal at each feed
is ample for a young calf, and more
than a tablespoonful should never be
| fed even to large calves. When more
grain is needed feed dry oats.
