Return to the Old Ways.

Some of the old ways of farming are
as good as the new. The old methods
tended to conserve and increase the hui
mus content of the soil. Later the fer
tilizer craze set in, and little attention
was paid to preventing the exhaustion of
the humus in the soil, which has result
ed In the decrease of the average yield
of the grain and oil-seed crops. Now,
after so years of an exhaustive system
of stimulated culture, there has come
an urgent appeal from scientific sources
for farmers to use every possible means
to increase humus in the soil by grow
ing and turning under the nitrogen
gathering crops, and to make a more
judicious use of commercial fertilizers
by using a quantity of them in con-
nection with a greatly increased amount
of barn-yard manure.-Farm and Fire

SOFT CORN FOR LIVE STOCK
Results of Tests at Iowa Experiment
Station Summarized in Very
Interesting Bulletin.

Much corn failed to mature fully in
1902 and 1903. The same, owing to very
late planting, seems likely to be true
in 1904. Hence the feeding value of soft
corn is live question. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station are fully given
in Bulletin No. 70, which may be had
on application by mail to c. F. Curtiss,
director, Ames, la. The following con-
clusions are deduced from the results
obtained:
1. That soft corn in 1902 and contain
ing SO per cent of moisture. pound for
pound, on water-free, or dry-matter
basis, was fully equal in feeding value
TO mature corn grown in 1900 when used
for fattening cattle.
2. That cattle fed on such soft corn
made nearly as heavy gains and finished
as well as those fed on mature corn.
8. That when soft corn similar to that
used in the test could be purchased for
80 cents per bushel, gains on fattening
cattle could be made at a cost of 1903
cents per pound less than when mature
corn, costing so cents per bushel, the
prevailing price. was fed.
4. That study of the Chicago live
stock market conditions from January
1, 1903. to July 81, 1903 shows that the
comparatively low prices of beef cattle
were not caused by an over-supply of
half-finished cattle. On the contrary,
there was a larger number of well-fin-
ished cattle marketed during that pc
riod for 1903 than for the correspond.
ing period of any one of the past ter
years.
5. That the chemical analysis would
indicate that the nutritive value of
the corn grown in 1902 compares IA
vorably with mature corn grown in
other years when water-free substance
or dry matter serves as basis of COM
parison.
6. That the amount of moisture
present was the main difference so far
as composition is concerned. That the
amount of moisture depends mainly on
the maturity of the corn when stricken
by frost.

T PAYS TO KEEP BOOKS.
Advantages of Definite Records in
Poultry Keeping Are Numerous
and Helpful.

Poultry keepers who for the first time
begin keeping an account with their
fowls-a careful record of the outgo and
lncome-are apt to be somewhat sur
prised at the end of the year. With
some the surprise may be very agree
able, while with others it may be the op-
posite. At any rate, it is apt to re-
suit in some changes for the better. II
the balance is on the right side and
the owner is well satisfied, it is like
iy to encourage him to do a little bet
ter the next year. If the books foot up
against him, he will probably make an
enort to improve matters, either by
giving more attention to the hens, or
Dy going out of the business entirely.
The latter, no doubt, would be the most
sensible for some. will tell of n farm
er's wife who decided that il would
De better TO know exactly what the
mems were bringing in; so three wears
ago she procured a poultry and egg
record book for the purpose. and she
mas learned by this bookkeeping that
her Leghorns lay about 100 eggs per
year, the weight Of the eggs being mora
tnan 1our times the hens own weight.
winch is about three and one-ouarter
pounds. She has learned the value of
the iced given the hens, and says that
.he cost OF eggs produced in her yards
is three and one-half cents in the sum-
mer and five cents per dozen in the
winter. These fowls are given better
care than the average farm flock gets.
yet no special pains has been taken with
them, only good all-round care. The
point TO impress upsn those who keen
poultry is this; if this person had not
kept an account with her fowls she
would not have known what thew were
turning in, and it would be difficult
10 make others around her believe that
her hens were doing SO well excent for
1nose nsures in black and white"
Even IN poor market this woman
would clear more than dollar per head
on her hens. But there are a great
many people who are keeping non,trv
VINO are not doing this: no. thew are
not even making both ends meet ;, hrt
tney don't know it. Then there are
otners who say that the hens don't nav
LOT their keep and are a nuisance whom
II they really knew what thew we're
talking about. they would find the hens
tne most profitable stock on the place.
But these are matters that cannot be
dennltely determined without keeping
book account with the fowls. Marv
people dislike to be bothered setting
anything down; they prefer to let things
&c. on, and guess at the profit or loss.
Ihe ones that make the most money no
matter what they are doing, are those
who have system for carrying on their
business They have things in the
proper place, and when eggs are gath
cred it takes less than a minute to set
down the number brought in. When
the eggs or poultry are sold it is not
much trouble to put down the amount
received, and at the end of the year it is
not much bother to foot it all up but 1t
is interesting all the way through. Don't
take my word for it; try it for one year.

A PLATE OF PORK CHOPS.

There is little reason why sows
should not bear two litters of pigs a
year, at least in the hands of skill
full breeder.
Swinekeepers of large experience say
that lousy hogs are much more likely
to take disease than hogs on which no
vermin exist.
After the pigs are weaned the dry
sows should be placed in a pasture b.
themselves and given very little grain
for some time.
Where herds of hogs are badly in
fected with lice the only serviceable
method of getting rid of them seem5
to be to have dipping tank and dip
the hogs.
Sort the sows. Those that have
proved themselves to be prolific and
good mothers may be retained as
breeders, and those whose record has
not been first-class should be dis
carded 1t hardly pays to keep a bad

Coffee Has Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.

Ails that come from coffee are cumu-
lative, that is, unless the coffee is
taken away new troubles are contin-
naily appearing and the old ones get
worse.
ITO begin with" says a Kansan, "I
was slave to coffee just as thousands
OF others to-day; thought l could not
live without drinking strong coffee
every morning for breakfast and l had
sick headaches that kept me in bed
several days every month. Could hard
ly keep my food ON my stomach, but
would vomit as long as could throw
anything up and when / could set hot
coffee to stay on my stomach l thought
was better.
We'll. two years ago this spring
was that sick with rheumatism could
not use my right arm to do anything,
had heart trouble, was nervous. My
nerves were all unstrung and my fin
ger nails and tips were blue as if I
had chill all the time, and my face
and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My
doctor said it was heart disease and
rheumatism and my neighbors said |
had Bright's Disease and was going to
die.
"Well, did not know what on eartr
was the matter and every morning
would drag myself out of bed and &c
to breakfast, not to eat anything, but
to force down some more coffee. Then
in little while would be SO nervous,
my heaM would beat like everything.
Finally one morning told my hus-
band l believed coffee was the cause
OF this trouble and that l thought |
would try Postum, which had seen ad-
vertised. He said All right so we
pot Postum, and although l did not like
1t at first l got right down to business
and made 1t according to directions,
then 1t was fine and the whole family
got to using it, and l tell you 1t has
worked wonders for me. Thanks t.;

Tho Use of Lime on Land.

During the last few years the use Of
lime on land has greatly increased.
This is the result Of Investigations as
to the free acid in land of which lime
is a neutralizer, 1t will pay every
farmer to investigate his land as to
acid. This he can do by planting on
1t clover of almost any variety, in
cluding sweet clover. If the plant
grows we'll there is no great abundance
of acid, provided nitrogen has not been
applied to fertilize the crop. If nj
trogen has been applied, the clover will
grow anyway, whether the soil be acid
or not. Thus the test would be of no
value.-Farmers Review.
