FARM NEWS and FARM LOBE
After the Gypsy Moths
BY GEO. B. DALI

In this part of the country as
yet no pest has ever preyed on the
leaves of the elm tree, it being the
only tree not ravaged by some worm.
But of recent years the shade trees Of
New England, principally the elm,
have been stripped of foliage by the
gypsy moth. Apprehension of the
wide spread of the pest has set the
Department o~fAgriculture after them.
The entomologist of that department
has been sent to Europe, whence the
moth came, to study its work and
surroundings there. He finds that it is
quite generally scattered over Europe,
but not regarded as a serious pest,
since it is kept in check by its para
site enemies which prey on it. Some
twenty species of these enemies will
be imported at once to Boston to be
ready to begin business with their
friends,'the moths, by the opening OF
another season. How serious the
work of this pest has been in New
England may be judged FROM the fact
that the state of Massachusetts, has
spent millions of dollars fighting it to
save the elms.

The international Live Stock tx
position to be Held in Chicago
December z to

"The International Live Stock EN-
position is an index of the progress OF
animal breeding in this country. here
are annually exhibited the best pro
ducts of the mind and genius or the
American breeder, concepts winch
have been developing during 70, ana
in some cases even 80 OF Az years.
What a privilege it is to come IN con
tact with these men; what an lnspl-
ration to study the results OF their
consistent and united effort. 1t Is no
wonder that students of the agrlcul'
tural colleges far and near, with their
instructors, flock to Chicago during
the live stock exposition. Where else
could they hope to find a school ex'
employing as this does all the prln'
ciples of animal breeding and nutri.
tion. Yes, the International Live
Stock Exposition is indeed a great
school. Think of what it means tC
the hundreds of thousands of farmers
who annually visit it and see what
their brother farmers and stockmer
have actually accomplished. Many
man has gotten his first true concep'
tion of what animal breeding and pro
duction means through a visit to the
Exposition. 1t has thus become
great v~italizing and inspiring force
to the live stock men Of the whole

is fed and handled. A good dairy
COW should not show any marked fall
ing off until after ten years OF age.
Many excellent records have been
made by COWS older than this.
The quality of the milk production oy
heifers' is somewhat better than that
of milk of older COWS, for we find a de-
crease of one.tenth to two-tenths OF
one per cent in the average fat con-
tent for each year till the cows have
reached full age. 1t is caused by the
increasen.in the weight of the COWS
with advancing age: at any rate there
appears to be a parallelism between
the two sets Of figures for the same
COWS. Young animals use a portion
of their food for the formation OF
body tissue and it is expected, there
fore, that heifers will require a larger
portion of nutrients for the produc-
tion of a unit of milk or butter fat
than do older COWS. After a certain
age has been reached, on the average
about seven years of age, the food re-
quired for the production of a unit OF
milk or butter fat again increases as
regards dry matter and the-digestible
components of the food. A good milk
COW of exceptional strength kept
under favorable conditions, whose
digestive system has not been impair
ed by over feeding or crowding for
high records, should continue to be a
profitable producer till her twelfth
year, although the economy of her pro-
duction is apt to .be somewhat re-
duced before this age is reached

Flower Farming Paying

In Massachusetts, Berkshire county
farmers-Berkshire county is the west
ern third of the state-are just dis
covering that money a be made by
raising cattle for the home market,
says the Philadelphia Press. These
farms were among those abandoned"
ten years ago.. partly because the
farmer had not kept up with the
times. New owners, or old owners
with new energy, discovered that by
abandoning old methods, applying
brains to the land and producing on
an intensive system it is not necessary
to abandon" the farm, but possible
to make money out of land proftless
when only ordinary farming was prac-
tfced. Across Chester county, in this
state, the same thing has been dis
covered in the "Carnation belt," a
strip of land running across the
county and ending at Chadd's Ford,
offering special advantages for carna'
tion growing. By taking a small
area, working it for all it is worth,
growing carnations in the winter and
sweet peas in the summer, men are
making a comfortable living and send
ing their children away to school on
eight or ten acres. A farm of this size
would once have been thought tc
doom a man to spending a large part
of his year working IS a farm hand
for his better landed neighbors. All
over the Eastern states, where farm.
ing twenty years ago was pronounced
a failure under Western competition,
there has sprung up this intensive
cultivation. Violets are grownin one

The Boys and the Corn

A series of corn meetings were held
in Lombard, ILL.,, during March and
April last. At these meetings every
phase of corn culture was discussed.
At the close of the series a boys corn
club was organized, with a member
ship of liz, the boys ranging in age
from Is to Is years in first class, and
from 9 to Is in second class. Every
school district in the county is repre-.
sented in the club.
The county supervisors, in order to
help along the good work and encour-
age the boys, voted to appropriate a
sufficient sun of money to defray the
expenses for a term at the state uni
versity corn school the coming winter,
to the boy exhibiting the best ten
ears of corr at the county farmers
institute, to be held in January, 1906.
This competition vas open to boys in
first class. Many other prizes will be
offered by the institute for exhibits in
class 2. Only members of the club
will be eligible to- compete for prizes.
Each member of the club was given
four ounces of EARLY Golden Surprise
seed corn. This was distributed by
the school teachers of the county.
The only condition imposed is that
each competitor shall send a written
statement with his exhibit, telling
upon what kind of soil he planted his
corn, how he prepared the ground,
when and how he planted it, how he
cultivated it and how long after plant
ing before it began to ripen.

And see what I have seen,
When tress are stripped of foliage
And meadows lose their green:
Forget your business life and bend
To sounds like these an ear,
And you will find on mother earth
Another atmosphere,
Where horrid strife for gold or life
Does not intrude its face,
But something more like brotherhood
Assumes a rightful place.
Remember you were once a child
And lived like these for Joy,
Till money made a man of you
And chilled the laughing boy.

Rings out a solemn knell
