HOW TO GROW BEEF AT A
LOWER COST.

The problem which the farmers OF
the west must solve in the next two
or three years is how to lower the
cost OF the production of be6. The
world will continue to eat beef as II
always has when it can get it, but
will demand it at lower prices than
have prevailed for the last three or
four years. Failing to get 1t at lower
prices, it will consume less, which will
speedily lower the price Farmers in
different sections are striving to solve
this problem in different ways.
Iowa and Illinois farmers on high
priced land are -aining to feed cattle
at lower cost by the use of silage and
balancing up their corn with the by.
products of the factories. These farm.
ers generally buy their feeding stock
from sections which have not the corn
with which to finish their cattle.
Farmers in the cut-over timber sec.
tisns believe that they have an advan.
tage because of the wonderful capac-
ity OF their soils to grow the grasses,
and that having land when well seeded
to grass costing them from $40 to $50
per acre they can keep a COW for the
chance of cali.
FARMERS in other sections are re-
sorting to dairying for the dual pur-
pose COW, believing that the butter
and milk will pay all the cost and
labor and give them the calf as profit,
thus cheapenifeg the production at that
end.

THE COLLEGE SHORT COURSE.

During the winter months hun
dreds of our young men from the farm
in the western states should avail
themselves Of the opportunity afforded
by attending an agricultural college
and take what is called the short
course.
The informtion that is received dur
ing the eight or nine weeks is worth
many hundreds of dollars to every son
who will avail himself of this oppor-
tunity.
We know Of many young men who
have an ordinarily good business edu-
cation, but lack the knowledge along
the lines of extensive stock breeding.
crop rotating, soil conditions. agri-
cultural chemistry, ETC.
1t is during this short course that
these principles are taught, and where
such knowledge is impaired, that the
ordinary farmer should know. We
hope that every one who can possibly
spare the time and a few dollars, Will
take advantage of this short course
in the different agricultural colleges.

THE BIRDS AND THE FORESTS.

In the economy of nature the feath.
cred branch of the animal kingdom
and the major portion of the vegetable
world are ever one and inseparable;
one was created for the other; the
life and we'll being of each depends
upon the ability of it's mate to protect
1t from insidious foes, tireless in their
efforts to destroy first one and then
the other.
While we are aware that upon the
arid plains few birds exist and that
some are born in the frozen, treeless,
arctic wastes and follow the pillows of
the sea in search of food, apparently
as free from attachment to forests as
are the fish upon which they daily feed,
yet upon general principles, and in gen.
eral terms, forests are as necessary to
the well being of birds, as are the
birds Indispensable for forest preser-

FERTILITY ON THE FARM.

While the season has passed
throughout the Northwest for the
more active farm operations there is
no reason WHY the progressive farmer
should be idle. The winter months
anord an oppcI unity to take account
OF STOCK and t. review the work of the
past season and see where it could
nave been made more effective. The
truly successful farmer is the ore that
can see his mistakes without brood
ing over them api profit thereby. He
should also have balance enough n
retain himself if fortune has smiled
on his endeavors.

PASTuR!NG MEADOWS.

The meadows have been ,ettin .
hard treatment this fall. II is din.

growth of grass is wasted when
it is not eaten, and this year when feed
is scarce and high the temptation tn
Craze the last mouthful from the
meadows is stronger than usual. Mat.
tiers have been made worse by drought
and early frosts. that have checked
the regular pastures, and with the
promise of a long feeding period ON
this account the grazing of everything
in sight is hard and close. The fail.
ure to recognize the needs of the soil
is responsible for the deterioration 50

DON'T SELL THE FARM.

Ialk OF the mOnotOny of farm life!
AS 1t seems to us, it is not comparable
to that experienced by the farmer who
has sold his country homestead and
has gone to live life of ease in a
small, gossiping town. How he longs
for the fresh air to which he has been
accustomed and how wistfully he calls
to mind the early matin of the song
birds which nestled in the trees sur
rounding his farm home. Instead of
the fresh milk from the cows on the
blue grass pasture, ne buys that which
has been watered, preserved. colored
etc. A radical change has come to all
his food, and now stale fruit and vege-
tables are his portion as well as
musty eggs, Oh, how he wishes for
fresh laid one to satisfy his waning ap-
petite. 1t is not to be wondered at
that the old man in his heart of hearts
wants the old home, the one he made
with his own hands-back AGAIN. but
alas! 1T is gone as possession from
him forever. The savings laid away
Tor a rainy day. which came through
his own and his good wife's economi-
cal management, have noiselessly but
surely been slipping away, until now
they have reached the place where
they can not buy back the dear old
spot they desire. Fuel, repairs, taxes.
water, rent and the necessaries of life
have been gnawing away at their we'll
earned hoard and anxious thoughts be-
gin to arise lest they may not have
enough to take them through.

1t was Josh billings who said: "My
son, observe the pos,ace stamp. It's
usefulness depends upon it's ability to
stick to one thing until it gets there. {"
While stick-to-itiveness is good thing.
it is sometime; over developed with
many farmers and their wives. They
stick SO close tc the farm they finally
get the idea in their heads that they
cannot get away. This is a good time
TO pay that long-delayed visit to wife's
1olks or husbands mother. Do not
be like a certain wealthy farmers
VIE who refused to go with her hus-
band on a few weeks visit for fear
the chickens would all disappear dur
ing her absence.

MOVING BEES IN SUMMER.

Unless strictly necessary, bees
should never be moved in the summer.
Spring or fall is the proper time. When
they have to be moved far in hot
weather there is great danger of their
smothering, for as soon as they find
themselves confined they will at once
begin to roar and pack down around
the entrance.
The only way to prevent suffocation
in such case is to cover both ton
and bottom Of the brcodchambe- with
fine wire netting. to insure a perfect
circulation of cir. The best time to
move them is after dark. ard if they
are to be hauled spring wagon should
be used and plenty of straw or hay
placed under them.

COW NOTES.

A little feed will often save a good
deal of trouble in milking a restlacs
COW.
A little grain with the pasture of
the cows will greatly increase their
butter yield.
A good COW should always have her
excellent qualities perpetuated bv
rearing her heifer calves.
The more uniform the fodder and
feed of the COW the more uniform the
milk in character.

Nearly every farmer wants his bow
to stay on the farm and continue the
work Of the father. If SO. teach him
TO like the country by giving him
rev pure-bred animals to care for, an
occasional party or picnic for himself
and friends, several good papers and
magazines. If he is made of the right
Kind OF material he will have no de-
sire to leave the Place where he has
spent SO many happy days, unless he
has especial talent along some other
line, in which it would be wrong for
him not to use it.

II you are thinking of leaving the
farm and going to town to educate
your boys and girls remember this
one thing, that if you expect better
schools in town, they cost more. If
the streets are lit, the sidewalks paved
and water and gas at Jour door, re-
member that they all have cost some
thing, and for this you must pay. Do
not go to town and commence grumb-
ling about municipal taxes, etc.. ETC.,
as some farmers we know, for if you
are going to grumble, just stay on
your farm, where you will bother no
one, and let your children grow I'D in
ignorance, for the demand of the
town is the energetic, wide-awake. pro-
gressfve, public-spirited man, and we
are happy to say that these men are
generally the progressive farmers.

Now that our colleges are giving
the farm boys the advantage of the
short agricultural course during the
winter, would it not be we'll for you
to see that your boy attends them
this winter? Suppose it does cost you
S93 Or $40, don't you know that the
opportunity given the boy will raise
the value of agriculture many times
IN his estimation? 1t will open up
new world of thought for him and
bring him in touch with new ideas and
theories, and he will have ample time
to demonstrate and prove their value
the coming season.

The food supplied to animals should,
vary with the age, and the object in
view of the feeding. Some animals
fatten easily; such are unusually
sound, strong and of easy, happy tenn
permanent, that get through life with
out fretting. Others are nervous in
temper; take life hard; fret a good
deal over any restraint. and are slow
and often dainty feeders. Such ami.
mails do not thrive well and fatten
quite slowly. There is little satisfac.
ton in handling or feeding such.

IN A BALLROOM.

Not one person in fifty talks natur-
ally in a ball room, says writer in
the New York Tribune. 1 know I do
not. 1 find myself saying the most
inane things in spasmodic jumps, ac-
companied by a galvanic smile that
doesn't belong to me at all, while the
woman 1 am talking to listens with
rowing eyes, wondering evidently who
is next coming to speak to her, and
fearing to lose the chance of corralling
some passing acquaintance. 1t is all
very absurd. The way the debutantes
and young girls try to be lively and
fire off their speeches like the reports
of toy pistol, accompanied by their
invariable little giggle, is absolutely
unnatural; nothing could be more
widely different from their unaffected
chatter and laughter when they are
among themselves and at ease. No
wonder so many young men with
gloomy faces stand in the doorways
They cannot stand the strain. while
we who make the effort envy their in
difference and wish that we were not
too conscientiously polite to go and do

The feature of the programme, so far as
the little ones were concerned, was the
distribution of fruit and candy and
the Christmas gifts, from the tree
which stood in one corner of the room.
The programme proper consisted of
songs and Rotations appropriate to
the Christmas time. Short addresses
treating In a simple and interesting
manner of the significance of the day

meaning of Christmas from the Chris
tian standpoint. The usual feature OF

out, these contributions being given to
the officers of the Sunday school for
proper distribution.
