To Save China Whole.

No matter how the war in the Far
East may eventually result, the
United States government intends
to insist upon the integrity OF the
Chinese Empire.
This fact was learned from the
best Of official authority.
For some time there has been a
feeling in Official circles that Euro
pean powers were planning to seize
parts OF China at the termination of
the war between Russia and Japan,
and that no matter which won, plans
were being laid by outside countries
to take slices OF China, as was the
case OF the end of the Japan China
war. All OF the now powerful inf
ence of the United States will be
used to prevent such a grasping pol
icy, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that if Japan is victorious she
will work in harmony with the
United States to save China.
Should Russia be victorious the Sit
uation would be more complicated,
but even so, the State Department
would hope TO save China, with the
possible exception of being forced to
recognize the special Russian inter
ests and domination in Manchuria.

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
No Surplus This Year.

For the first time in FIVE years the
Government will be confronted by a
dehcit at the close of the present hs-
cal year, which will end on June 80
next. Secretary Shaw, in his annual
report to Congress last December,
declared his belief that there would
be a surplus OF SI4,ooo,ooo in the
treasury al the end of the present
year. The fiscal experts of the Gov
ernment hesitate about making state
ments for publication, but privately
admit that the Secretary shot wide
OF the mark. The deficit will be due
to decreased Federal receipts, in
creased Government expenditures, es-
pecially for the military establish
ment; the S5o.ooo,ooo payment on the
purchase OF the Panama canal prop
erty and the appropriation Of 4,6oo,-
600 for the St. Louis Exposition.
For II months of the present year
the total receipts of the Government
have been S4o3, ,3oo.23o and the total
expenditures $545, 26s.3oS, or a deficit
OF S51,oo5,i3S for the II months of
the present fiscal year. Compared
with the Treasury statement of May
81, 1908, the above figures are ex-
ceedingly interesting. For the II
months ended May 81, 1903, the re-
ceipts OF the Government were S5Io,-
533,47I and the expenditures $47G,-
sS4,85s, leaving the Government with
surplus of $3S,o4S,6I6 on that day.
1t is pointed out by the officials Of
the Treasury that much OF the short
age this year has been due to the
Panama Canal and St Louis Exposi-
dion expenditures, and that if this
total OF $54,6oo,ooo were deducted
from the expense account of the Gov
ernment there would be surplus of
S2,334,6II for the first II months of
the current year, as against a sur
plus OF S38,o46,6Io for the same period
a year ago.
AS compared with year ago, the
receipts Of this fiscal year have fallen
off about $G7,ooo.ooo and the expendi-
lures for ordinary purposes have in
creased about $22,ooc, 900. Including
the Panama and St. Louis expendi-
lures the expenditures are $4,000, 900
greater than a year ago.

ABOUT CREAM.

In many parts of Missouri cream is
raised in shallow pans just as 1t was hun
dred years ago. Despite the fact that the
farmer has learned to use better implements
in his farm work, he thinks his wife can get
along with the cream in the primitive way.
Now, aside from the injustice of not keeping
the domestic equipment up with that used
in the field, there are substantial reasons
why 1t is time to change this old system.
In the first place, it leaves from one-fourth
to one-half of the cream in the skim milk.
Four cows with a modern separator will
make as much butter as five with the shall
low pan method of separation. A low esti-
mate would place the value of the butter
now annually left in the milk in Missouri at
100000, and all because people stick to
this Anticipated system. But there is still
another reason why the old plan should be
abandoned. The cream from these shallow
pans is of the poorest quality for butter
making.
In some parts of the state the deep set.
ting system is used. Deep narrow cans are
set in water as cold as it can be obtained,
ice cold II possible. This plan works fairly
we'll but from one-tenth to onefourth of the
cream may be lost by using 1t.
II farmer Is to have separator, how
ever, he must have a real one and not one
of so-called water or diluting separators so
extensively advertised. They are worth Just
about as much as the old shallow pan.
The real separator removes the cream
as the milk passes through rapidly revolv-
ing steel bowl. 1t takes practically all the
cream in fresh sweet condition that make
the best Of butter. The milk is also sweet
and can be used to the best advantage. Nor
is this all The labor necessary to use the
separator is much less than that required to
handle the same amount of milk In shallow
or deep cans. A good centrifugal separator
is a necessity. No farmer with six COWS can
afford to be without one. G. H. ECKLEs,
Professor Of Dairy HuSbandry, University OF
Missouri.

CROPS FOR OLD ORCHARDS.
The COW pea is an excellent crop for old
orchards, particularly in south Missouri. It
should be sown after the soil has been Gull
tivated until the first OF July and should be
allowed to lay on the ground over winter.
part of the growth may be used for
fodder but the part that remains should be
plowed under the following spring.
Rye or wheat are also good. They may
be sown In late summer or early autumn,
allowed to stand until spring and plowed
under when the spring cultivation Is begun.
Under no conditions should grain crops be
allowed to mature in the orchard. They
will injure the trees more than the value of
the grain obtained.
CROPS FOR YOU'VE ORCHARDS.
Hoed crops are best for orchards that
have not reached the bearing age. The cul-
tivation that is given them is the kind that
will most benefit the trees. Corn is good
for this purpose providing the land is new
and rich, but it is a gross feeder and the
trees will suffer in competition with 1t on
thin land. One row of corn should be left
out where the orchard row comes to allow
the trees light and air.
On small areas tomatoes, cantaloupes, po-
tatoes and sweet potatoes are preferable TO
corn If the value of the crop itself is to be
considered and there is every reason why 1t
should be- Carefully selected crops will Sc
cure to the orchard all the benefits of Guilt
walton and at the same time pay the expense
of bringing 1t to bearing age.

THE BEST SPRAY.

The best substance with which to spray
for all biting insects Is arsenate of lead.
1t remains on the plants longer than other
arsenical sprays, will not injure them at all,
no matter how strong it is used, requires no
lime and practically no stirring. 1t is cheap.
easily made and applied.
Dissolve four ounces Of dry commercial
arsenate of soda and eleven ounces Of dry
commercial acetate of lead each in one
bucket of water; when dissolved, mix the
two together and allow this to stand over
night, when the arsenate of lead will be
formed. The contents of this bucket are
then to be added to fifty gallons Of water.
This requires little stirring, and one can
readily see where he is spraying without the
addition of lime.
II, however. you do not wish to go to the
trouble of making II. It may be obtained on
the market under the name Of "Disparne"
in q paste form with directions.
Let me, in conclusion, caution my readers
that what I have said does not apply to
peach trees. They must never be sprayed
with arsenical poison.

SKIM MILK CALVES.

1t is hardly necessary to state that as
good a calf can be raised by hand on skim
milk as is raised by the COW. This fact has
been demonstrated in almost every neigh
borhood in the state within the last two
years. The following statements are based
upon methods practiced at the Missouri
Agricultural College. To raise calves with
skim milk it is first of all advisable to have
cream separator as with it the milk can
be taken from the cream and fed while 1t
yet contains its animal heat No calf that
is intended to be raised on skim milk should
remain with it's mother more than three
days 1t should be placed in a clean pen or
stall and fed a gallon of its mothers milk
twice day for about two weeks. From the
end Of that time skim milk may be gradu-
ally substituted. When the feeding of skim
milk has begun the calf should have a small
amount of corn meal to take the place of
the cream to which it has been accustomed.
This is best fed in a small box within reach.
Don't make the mistake of feeding
too much milk. A gallon is enough at
time. Keep everything scrupulously clean.
Wash the pals for feeding as carefully as
you do those for milking Clean the pens
and stalls thoroughly as often as is neces-
sary to keep them in the best Of shape.
Have a separate bucket for each calf and
always feed the milk warm and sweet and
the calves will thrive as we'll as when left
with the COW. The cream thus saved can
be sold to increase the interest on your in
vestment in the land. G. H. ECKLEs

THE NEW MISSOURI TEACHERS COL
LEGE WILL TRAIN TEACHERS
OF AGRICULTURE.

The new Missouri Teachers College, an
outgrowth of the old Department Of Edu-
cation of the University of Missouri. now
proposes to give special attention to the
training of teachers of Agriculture, and to
emphasize its importance in both elemen-
tary and high school work. 1t will do this
in two ways:
First. 1t will recognize Agriculture and
Horticulture as the equivalent of other sci
ences, literature and history in the granting
of Life Certificates to teach. Not only will
special certificates to teach Agriculture and
Horticulture in High Schools be granted,
but students who are not candidates for
these certificates will also be permitted to
elect these subjects along with the subjects
in which they are taking a certificate In
this way a student who goes out from the
University fit to teach Botany or Chemistry
will likely also be able to teach Agriculture
and Horticulture.
Second. All candidates for the certificate
to teach in elementary schools will be re-
quired to study Agriculture and Horticul-
ture, Drawing, and Manual Training with
special reference to instruction in the
grades. In this way every person who gets
a Life Certificate from the Teachers College
which declares the holder fit to teach in the
grades and rural schools, can be relied upon
to teach Agriculture and the subjects re-
lated to 1t If an opportunity is provided.

CULTIVATE THE APPLE ORCHARD.

The fact is generally recognized that the
orchard profits by clean cultivation as much
as does the corn or other field crop. 1t may
thrive we'll and make satisfactory returns
without cultivation providing the season is
favorable one and rainfall abundant. But
during dry year the orchard that Is not
cultivated may be seriously injured so that
1t will take two or more years for 1t to
recover.
WHAT CULTIVATION DOES.
Cultivation regulates the moisture supply
of the trees and airs out the top soil. In
the spring 1t let's the rains sink in instead
of flowing off over the hard, firm surface,
