go to bed in the American fashion can
have all that is requisite for 80 cents.
The porter on demand brings a linen

INCREASING THE Farm INCOME.

4 man owning a 100 acre farm
writes us tsat his average gross in
come from his farm. taking a series of
years. is about IS per acre and wants
to know if there is any way practical
and available for him to increase this
really very small income. He has for
many years been what is called a rails
er of grain and hay to sell, keeping but
little stock. AS result he has greatly
impaired the fertility of his soil. and
thirty bushels of oats and corn to the
acre and ton of hay to the acre are
about all he gets even with fairly good
seasons. There are so many men in
this fix all over the country that 1t
justifies a somewhat extended com
ment by us. The system referred to is
all wrong 1t goes from bad to worse
each year it is continued. There must
be radical change. In this case.
which may be taken as type, there
should be from twenty-five to thirty
acres of clover sown this spring; there
should be a hog pasture fenced off and
at least fifty hogs kept; a dairy of six
teen COWS should be set to work on the
farm, and coming right with these
cows will be the calves and the pigs;
half the acreage of corn should be
planted and twice as well cared for
as ever before; every mouthful of hay
and every kernel of grain produced on
the farm should be fed to some animal
right on the farm; a system of crop
rotation should be adopted which will
include clover every fourth or fifth
year While it will take three or four
years to get these reforms all brought
about, we will guarantee the result to
be that in the end the yield of crops
will be nearly doubled and the income
correspond.naly increased Thousands
of men have done this, and other thou
sands are now engaged in this reform
work, and Wehave never known the plan
to fail. But some may say they do not
like to take care of a dairy-too much
bother Well, then, try sheep or raising
beef animals, and if neither of these
variations of the plan appeals to you
the best thing you can do is to sell the
farm and go to town and run for super.

ConsoIiaating Rura1 Schools,

Mrs Il. d. Sanders. lecturer of the
Michigan state grange, says: Il believe
a trial of consolidating two or more
small adjacent rural schools would go
much further toward showing the adj
vantages of such a school system than
all the preaching and lecturing that
can be given to rural community.
What we now want is to try the ac-
tual workings of consolidation of dis
triet schools. Unanimous public SEN
timent will not come until repeated
practical experiments have been thor
oughly tested; then, like rural mail de

DRYING OFF THE COWS.
Better Results Obtained when They
Are Given an Annual Rest.

Cefter Results unnamed W men Iney
Are Given Annual Rest.
1t is not unusual to find COW which
shows no inclination to dry off ut any
time after dropping her first or second
calf. Such an animal shows an excel
lent dairy trait-Iersistence III the milk
ing habit-but it is doubtful If continu-
Gus milking is profitable. Better re-
suits are believed to be obtained from
cows which are inclined to take an an
nual rest, K not too long. A month is
long enough Three weeks will do in
the longest time encouraged or allow
ed for COW to be dry before calying.
An accurate record of service by the
bull is essential to preparations for
Irving off cows at the right time. A
table should be kept of the dates when
she COWS of the herd are successfully
.lue to calve, with notes as to the milk
ny habit of every one. When the time
comes for drying off a COW the grain
food should be gradually withdrawn.
This may of itself cause milk to cease
forming If not, omit one milking a
lay, then milk but once in two days,
and thus extend the drying period over
two weeks.
The udder must be watched, and il
any hardening or unnatural heat is
shown regular milking must be resum-
ed II COW continues to secrete milk
It must be drawn. No COW should be
forced to go dry" against manifestly
natural resistance to SO doing. On the
other hand, if an unpleasantly pungent
or smoky taste appears in cows
milk she may as well be dried at once
regardless of dates, as her milk will not
he good until she is fresh again.-H. G.

Pepsin For cheesemaking.

Much attention is being given to the
subject of rennet versus pepsin in co
agulating milk in cheesemaking. There
are somewhat conflicting reports about
it, but the majority seem in agreement
that pepsin is rather superior for
cheesemaking. At Guelph it was found
that tie pepsin curd worked more slow
" and made slightly less cured cheese
to 1000 pounds Of milk, but the favor
was two points higher and cleaner, and
the cheese was worth more on the mar
ket. 1t was thought that the be
havior" of the pepsin cheese i'll curing
was more favorable to the conditions
commendable in cold storage curing

4 Pennsxlxanfa Plan.

custom of pledging candidates for con-
gress and the state legislature on i'm
portant matters of public policy before
election They have a system of in
terrogating the candidates that works
with marked success. It is coming to
be known as the Pennsylvania plan,

its features. 1t seems to be a very
effective measure for protecting the
farmers interests in the legislature.

What Overseer Fuller of the New

Oyerseer George A. Fuller of the New

the province of the grange in political
affairs:
Let us confine our efforts strictly to
those problems pertaining to agricul-
ture and our own business. If we al
low ourselves to be drawn into the dis
putes and controversies which are vex-
ing other classes and other industries
we are getting away from the basic

In confidence the traveller showed Ali
Hated a diamond that shone like a
drop of condensed sunshine He told
his host that one large diamond was
worth whole mines of copper and sill
ver that a handful would make him
a prince. and that a mine would buy a
kingdom That night Ali Hated went
to bed a poor man. for discomfort is
poverty. When the morning came he
sold his farm for gold and went forth
in search of diamonds. Years passed.
Old and gray he returned in rags and
poverty. He found that the peasant
who bought his farm was now prince.
One day, digging in the white sand in
the stream at the foot of the garden.
the peasant saw a shining something
that sent his heart to his mouth. Run
ming his hand through the sand, he
found it sown with gems. Thus were
found the mines of Goleonda. Had Ali
Hated dug in his own garden, instef 4
of starvation and poverty he would
have owned gems that made nations
rich. If we throw aside the opportuni-
ties to benefit agriculture at our very
doors and travel away into new fields
to deal with problems that do not con

We have noted a score or more of in
stances the past year where farmers
sons after taking course at some
agricultural school return to the old
farms and put into practice the knowl-
edge obtained. In almost every case
these boys make as radical a change in
farm conditions as does the introduc-
ton of good blood into the stockyard
They raise bigger and better crops
right off. They pay much attention to
the matter of seed. They plan and put
into operation a proper rotation Of
crops. They organize local farmers
clubs, are Invaluable helpers in all

and progressive in all that pertains to
agriculture as a business and chock
full of a contagious enthusiasm. The
mossbacks have to come to them to
learn, for grandpa's way can't argue
with better stock and bigger crops as
evidence of the value of such cole
giate training. They are getting in their
good work in nearly every farming
community and are the evangelists of
that better and more progressive type
of agriculture which bids fair to come
to all the country.

THE RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE


In the present controversy being
waged between the people and the
railroads over the matter of transpor-
tation it is not so much a matter of
rates as it is discriminating charges,
the favoring of certain towns and inter
against other communities and individ-
Gals. While the railroads are and
should be protected in an unquestion-
ed title to their respective properties
there is this difference between them
and Il purely private business in that
the public, having bequeathed them
the most valuable franchises in the
whole country and with such fran
chises bestowed extraordinary powers
and privileges to promote and secure
a great public utility and necessity.
has thereby acquired an inalienable
and important interest in such roads,
which gives it every right to demand
absolute fairness and impartiality in
their management. This right the peo-
pie have been rather backward and
slow to assert and possibly never
would were there ne just causes for
complaint. AS it is, the people are
waking up, and such peaeeable and
equitable adjustment will be secured
without doubt as will insure entire i'm
partially in the administration Of the
roads. Their power is so omnipotent
and so far reaching in the making or
the marring of the business success of
communities and individuals that moth
ing short of absolute equity for all will
ever satisfy the American people.
