Before these agricultural experts OF

representatives would be offering a
most humiliating spectacle, the most
that could be conceived, giving their

aching our youth to prefer an inferior

The interest taken by the functiona-
ries in the establishment of school
such as we have mentioned might be
Z 2ardoned on account of their ignor-
ance and incompetency in all that
relates to coffee, but the agricultural
experts of the federal governmen are
obliged to know that Porto Rican

Neither the government of the
Nation nor that of the Colony have
lup to the present time done the
slightest thing towards beneftting the
coffee industry, which is suffering q
deep and profound crisis.
Several times the House of Deleg
gates has prosposed the project of q
Feoffee loan which has met with the
determined opposition of the contin :
lental members of the Executive
Council: and when several times in
the mother country tariff protection

I without taking into account the reason
I'VE have for wanting it, without even
mentioning Porto Rico, without stat
aing that it is the logical complement
(of free trade, which does not exist

means of covering deficit, of equal

revenue required by the Nation; bul

Coffee protection is talked about
sonly an advantage to the Natlonal
government, never as to how it NIGH
affect Us, yet this does not prevent
Hts being believed necessary to create
Ia perfectly useless agency, in order
Ito give employment 70 an incompet-
lent american with a charge against
the Insular budget; neilher does il
prevent some redemptioni>ts, little

most surprising of gideonisms: the

pupils will be taught to sort and cure

SO that our grain will suit the fasti-
sdious taste of American consumers.
For the creation of such school,
item thousand dollars are required, and
the daily which makes the announ
cement goes on to say that the govern
Brnent and other functionaries are very
much interested il the consummation
Bof the project.
Without doubt the functionaries are
interested, for should the plan mate

Good Cows in Denmark.

The Danes have established a very
good system of testing COWS and of
culi1ng their herds. One cannot Gull
out the poor cows without knowing
which are the poor cows Societies
nave been formed for the purpose of
employing a man to go among the
herds constantly and test the cows.
II Is reported that at the present time
there are over 800 such societies, and
mat they represent more than $50, 900
COWS. This means that over 900 men
are constantly employed in doing the
testing. The culling comes as nat
ural result, as no man will keep a
poor COW if he is going to dispose of
any. Likewise no man will sell a
profitable COW if he is financially able
to keep her.

Vegetable Democracy.

1t begins to look as though all mo.
nopolies of climate OF soil would be
swept away by science and the all con-
quering ambition of the husbandman;
as though the metes and bounds which
have heretofore established the do
main Of the pineapple and banana, the
orange, the peach and the apple were
to be obliterated and the democracy
of universal brotherhood to prevail in
the vegetable world. Varieties Of
fruits and grains which have been in
undisputed possession of the land for
years are being crowded out by hardy
immigrants from Russia, India or ia
pan and soon, like the Indians, ma
tives and old settlers, will be driven
to the reservations provided by the
seedsmen or become extinct altogeth-
er. There was a time when latitude
could be depended upon as fairly
truthful guide to the vegetation Of a
region; but aggressive agriculture is
changing all that. With cotton steadily
widening Its belt, on the north, the
orange entering the zone of frost, the
alfalfa making itself as much at
home in Northern Wisconsin as In
California. nothing Is sure; and we
wonder il one hundred years hence
there will be any strictly tropical
plants. N. IA e ss.53 ID !:

Figuring on Good Cows.

I find it exceedingly difficult to in
duce my neighbors to do any figuring
on the advantages of keeping a good
COW. The reason for this is that you
can't figure without data and data is
not based on guess work. have come
to the belief that if man can be in
duced to figure he will be soon look
ing around for good cows. took one
or my COWS some time ago and began
to keep an account of what she cost
10 Keep and what her products brought
me. Then l figured UP all the .herd
together and l found that this COW
paid me three times the profit that
the average COW of the herd did, and
she was not remarkable cow either.
Of course it Isl not practicable for ev-
cry farmer to keep double or even a
single account with each COW, but it
is possible for man by the help of
the Babcock.. test and the scales to
get a pretty good general idea of
What COW is costing to keep and
how much She is bringing in. On
that basis he can figure on what a
good cow is worth. 1 used to have
cows once that did not pay to keep.
Every cent that was received for their
milk was paid out in one way and an
other for feed, and we did the milking
and took care of them for the fun of
the thing. AS soon as we discovered
the true state of the case we stopped
doing that. suggest that readers of
this pick out good cow and figure
on what is coming back from her and
tnen pick out poor COW and figure
the returns from her. 1t costs about
the same to keep either COW.

Wild Turkeys.

A good many people do not know
that wild turkeys are still in existence
in various parts Of the country and
that their existence in the wild state
has direct bearing on our poultry
industry because of the crosses that
are frequently made between them
and the domesticated varieties. 1t
might be we'll if the state governments
would take measures to keep the wild
turkey from extinction. Demonstration
has it's advantages, but it also has it's
disadvantages.
Wild turkeys have vigor that the
general run of domesticated turkeys
do not possess. This is due to their
wild life in the open air and their con-
slant dependence on the food they
have to hunt or is due to the fact that
the battle for the mastery among the
male birds still goes on among them
as of old. Thus many male turkey
is killed by his stronger and more Wig,
orous rivals. Doubtless this has an
important bearing in keeping up the
vigor of the stock.
It has been found that by capturing
wild male and mating him with tame
females of the Bronze variety progeny
of exceptional vigor is produced. If
we permit the wild turkey to be put
out of existence there will be an end
to this Improvement in vigor unless
breeders are able to put more science
into their breeding operations than
they have been able to do up to the
present time.
1t might be good idea where the
wild birds are in proximity to the do
INVESTIGATED turkey flock to let the
males fight it out. This has been
done sometimes with the result that
the domesticated male has given up
the ghost and the other has taken nos.
session of the flock.
Now and then the nest Of the wild
turkey hen is found in the woods and
the eggs taken to the hennery to be
Matched: The poults that come from
such eggs are healthier and hardier
than those from eggs Of the domesti.
Gated hen; but care has to be taken to
prevent the young birds from resum.
ing the wild habits of their parents.

An OREGON Chicken House.

All STSSOu NntCkSn t1ouSSs
ASH promised some time ago will
endeavor to give the readers of the
Farmers Review an idea of the war.
mint" proof chicken house constructed
by me. AS we live in the wild and
brushy west, where wildcats, minks,
weasels, skunks and coons are as plen.
tiful as rabbits in Australia, we have
to protect our poultry or we would
have none. This is necessary the
more so as the poultry business is sec
ond to none in the United States. 1t is
my belief that tight houses and poor
water are responsible for the great
mortality among. fowls every summer.
My building is t2x2O feet in size and
7 always have from 20 to 120 fowls
and have had during the past ten
years. and in all that time have not
lost to exceed six grown fowls.
The building stands three feet six
inches above the ground; that is, it is
that distance from the ground to the
floor. The house itself is boX-shaped,
built of 1x12 lumber, without battens.
In summer the cracks open one.fou-th
inch. These close up in winter. There
is door in the end and window in
the south side.
The entrance for the chickens is Oh
the opposite end from the door. The
orifice is made of tin oil can about
9R inches square and IA inches long.
You can get this at any paint shop.
Cut out the ends and cut hole in the
house the size of the can. One end OF
the can should be cut diagonally from
corner to corner, and each piece bent
back at right angles to the can to nail
to the wall on the inside of house.
Let the entire length of the can pro.
Ject outside. The entrance should be
about three inches above the floor.
On the outcide right opposite the
entrance and about four feet away, set
round post, the top of which should
be two inches lower than the en-.
trance. On the post put gal
lon milk pan Gan old one will do); put
it upside down and nail fast.
From this lay boaro of proper
length and as wide as will go in the
end. Of the can. Nail board down to
the post on top of the pan. In front
of entrance and inside building set a
board two feet long, II inches wide:
about Is inches from entrance. Then
take another board of same size and
lay on top, mailing one edge to the
wall and the other on top of the edge
of the other board. This is to prevent
the wind from blowing in.
Now if the floor of the building is
sufficiently tight not even a rat can
set in.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I wish to say that
am no chicken crank. 1t is not only
the chicken house that has made poul
try raising success with me, but my
success is also due to the lady that
has prepared the fowls for the table
for me for the past fifty years.--DaviG
