study Your Farm Paper.

Among the questions asked of cream
cry patrons by the Kansas experiment
station is, What dairy or farm paper
do you read?" Out of n patrons who
answered this question, SO, or So per
cent, took no farm or dairy paper.
In looking up the details of the rec
ords, it is interesting to note that the
highest yield was made by a man who
keeps special dairy cows and a lib.
eral subscribed to farm and dairy pa
pers. This patron realized SO per COW
per annum more than the next best
patron, who read no paper, and $36
per COW more than the poorest patron.
In collecting records we find where in
telligence is applied to the dairy in
dustry, the COW yields from $50 to $50
worth of products per annum. Con-
trast this with $40 to $50 without in
telligence, and no one need ask if edu-
cation pays. Intelligence applied to
feeding calves will cause them to gain
from IL to % pounds per week, in
stead of seven to ten pounds. This is
where intelligence can be turned into
cash. Muscle, to win, must be lubri-
Gated with brains. With the constant
advance in methods, no farmer or
dairyman can expect to meet the new
conditions without being fully up to
date in every way, and the only way
to keep posted is by careful reading
of an up-to-date journal Barnums

was left too cloddy, and the subsoil,
generally cracking easier, let's down
the dry air to the roots. After plow-
lag about six inches deep, use har-
row that will leave the clods on top;
IL Is q great mistake to let the clods
stay below the surface. When you
have the first blowing well pulverized,
have a good skim pillow or scrapersat-
tached to the beam. to scrape the fine,
rich, loose soil into the deep furrow at
the second blowing, which should be
over Is inches deep.
The subsoil or poor soil should be
on top, although it checks the young,
plant in growing, but the plant that
grows the fastest and tallest will not
produce the best or most. / do not
think 1t necessary to pillow deep oftener
than once in 20 years, and i hope my
readers will try a little piece that
way, to be convinced. have noticed
where there was rich soil, well pulyer-
lied below, and about four inches of
sand on top. it produces good corn
even in the driest year. Deep ploW-
ing gives the taproots a chance to
grow strong before they get to the
hard, dry subsoil, then they can grow
through 1t easier to reach the water.
Some imagine that the roots should
grow near the surface and that they
need much air. They only grow out
of the surface when it is too wet, then
when it gets dry the plant suffers SO
much more. / have noticed where the
top soil is too rich and loose, too many
roots grow too near the surface. The
same occurs if it rains often and only
a little at time. Then when 1t gets
dry, especially after heavy rains, the
crop suffers severely, producing much
growth but poor gain. Most farmers
know that five stalks of corn to the
hill FIVE feet apart, especially If it Is
dry from tasseling to ripening, will
not produce half as much corn as one
stalk two feet apart. Why, then, do
they keep on planting so far apart?
1t pays well to soak corn before feed
ing, but do not let it get sour; stock
will like it better, and it will do more
than twice as much good.-Cor. Jour-
nal of Agriculture.

the looser and finer it viii stay, and
the richer it will get. If the land is
nearly level, pillow it together in wide
lands or strips, the way it drains the
best. Pillow together at the same place

The most powerful electric locomotive

Railroad in the shops of the General Elec.

tive Works at Schenectady, N. Y.
; This locomotive is one of between thirty
and fifty which will be used by the Rail.
road Company for hauling the through
passenger trains within its Electrical Zone
from Grand Central Station through the
Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on the
Main Line, a distance of "a miles, and to
White Plains on the Harlem division,
distance of "a miles.
This will be the heaviest steam railway
passenger service which has ever been
handled by electric locomotives. With
one of these locomotives trains of ten or
more cars will be hauled at express speed
of 60 to 20 miles per hour, and the de-
sign and method of control are such that
two or more locomotives can be coupled
together and operated by single en-
gineer from the leading cab, so that the
size of the train that may be under the
control of one engineer is practically un-
limited so far as the question of motive
power.
In general design the locomotive is dou-
BILE ended and symmetrical in construc-
ton, so that it can be run in either direc.
ton with equal facility.
Mounted on the main frame of the 10.
connective is the steel cab in three divisions,
in which are located the various devices
for operating the locomotive. The loco.
motive is equipped for both straight and
bell, whistle, headlights, air-sending de-
vice, electric air compressor, ETC., being as
complete in every way with respect to OPP
Grating devices as a steam locomotive.

FAN the Most suitable Time.

In the fall, up to the middle of De-
cember, in Tennessee, the earth is
warm, therefore the warmth aids
termination of new roots of trans
planted trees This is an unquestion-
able fact, therefore fruit trees win do
better is transplanted at this season.
In the spring, when most trees are
transplanted, the soil is cold and re-
mains in that condition until the heat
of the sun becomes unpleasant to per-
sons. The winters in the southern
states are generally SO mild that it
can not hurt the fall-planted trees, be-
fore they become rooted. When trees
are set out in the fall that leaves that
much more time for attending to other
farm work in the spring. Frequently
trees in the spring are oyertaken by
cold in the cars, the roots become
chilled and they never recover from
that chilling. Put out fruit trees in
November, but be certain not to let
the roots be exposed to frost or freez-
ing Winds.-Key.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They Are
Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an illustration anyone, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat, relish
and digest nice hot cup of Postum cof-
fee with a spoonful or two of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such combination
contains nourishment to carry one a
number of hours, for almost every
particle of it will be .digested and taken
up by the system and be made use of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: 81 was led

HERE AND THERE.

The Aldrich system is two rows of
corn and two rows of cotton, all four
feet wide. You make about full crop
of each, is the claim. Experience
seems to bear out the claim. Try it.
The cheapest way in the long run,
to clear land, is to dig or plow out
the trees. There is no easy way to
clear land, to get it into cultivation;
be sure you do not pillow the land
when it is wet.
Timothy hay is not suited to the
needs of the sheep. Digestive disor-
ders occur when timothy hay is fed,
which often result in the loss of the
sheep. Glover and mixed hay may be
fed to the flock with good results.
In popping corn there is always a
considerable loss of weight. Accord
ing to some recent experiments, 100
grains of unpopped corn weighed 10
grams, while the same quality fully
popped weighed SO grams. The diff
ference of four grams is claimed to be
the amount Of moisture expelled.
Take time to clean the mud of
