A writer on poultry matters says
that more attention should be paid to
developing a breed of fowls which
would combine greater meat producing
qualities; no need to develop other
breeds than those which we now have.
Any of the larger breeds If caponized
will improve both in weight, quality
and selling price at least 100 per cent
1t seems strange that treatment
which all recognize as absolutely in
dispensable with the males of all other
Of our domestic animals should be so
reluctantly adopted with reference to
our domestic fowls.

We are asked what it was that de-
termined the growth of trees along
the margins of all streams In the
prairie regions of the country, why
there and not elsewhere. We think the
reasons will be found as follows The
alluvial soils Of the river bottoms are
more congenial to tree growth than the
upland prairie soils. Then such soils
command more dependable supply of
moisture, something indispensable to
tree growth. Then the periodical
floods kept the banks of such streams
constantly well supplied with tree
seeds brought down by the water,
while the river offered a permanent
and effective barrier to the prairie fires,
which Of themselves made tree growth
on the uplands next to impossible
A farmer paid a lightning rod firm
$50 to properly rod his large barn. The
work was well done and represented
the most scientific protection against
damage by lightning to be obtained. A
hired man one day caught the rod with
a harrow tooth just where it entered
the earth and tore it apart. He, not
being scientist and only just a com
mon plug hired man, thought nothing
Of the damage which he had done and
did not even tell his employer. a
storm came up soon after, the barn
was struck and burned, and the ex
pressed opinion Of the owner Of the
lightning rod men was not fit for pub
lication. Disconnected, the rods on
the barn were a menace instead Of a
protection. The moral Of this story is
that if you have rods on your build
ings be sure that they have the proper
earth connection.

If the hardy catalpa will grow well'
in your locality you can make some
nice money by setting out a plantation
for post timber. Plant about eight
feet apart each way and give thorough
cultivation as long as possible, thinning
out one-half Of the trees as soon as a
tree will make single post We doubt
the wisdom Of planting this tree north
of latitude 40 degrees.

The pleasantest feeling which comes
to the up to date farmer in the north
country is to feel as winter comes on
that he has everything in good shape
for the long siege. It is pleasant to
feel that the fall blowing was all done
early in August, that the big barn is
full Of well cured hay, that the corn
was all gathered before the SHOWS
came, that the cellar is well stored
with the best things Of garden and or
chard, that there is a good big pile Of
dry wood in the shed and plenty Of
warm shelter for all domestic animals.
When things are this way he does not
dread, but rather welcomes, the winter
season.

The range men have their troubles in
the matter of transportation of their
stock to market. We met one Of them
recently who undertook to ship over
800 range horses to an eastern market.
Because of carelessness or inability to
water these horses at proper intervals
during hot August season they were
kept locked in the cars for a period Of
1O7 hours, and when released and wa
ter given them $50 of them died in less
than an hour. OF course the owner has
valid claim for damage against the
railway company, which was the most
Hagrant yiolator Of the law requiring
the unloading and watering of stock
every twenty-aight hours.

THE MTDDLENTAN.

AS business is now organized. the
services Of the middleman are simply
indispensable. 1t Is no use to cuss
him and try to get rid Of him, for we
could not do business without him.
Here Is the farmer. He has a bunch
OF hogs or fat steers, or a tub of but
ter or case Of eggs. There are plenty
of people, nonproducers, in the cities
who want these things, but the farmer
cannot hold, prepare for market and
distribute these commodities to the
consumer. There must be slaughter
houses and cold storage plants to do
an important work before the consum-
er can eat his steak, chops and eggs
and butter. This middleman some
times makes more than the producer
In bis handling and distribution Of such
things, and then sometimes he loses q
lot OF money, for he has to take all
sorts Of chances on fiuctuating mar.
kets. However, this middleman is a
pretty sharp trader, has to be in order
to live, and it is always we'll to keep
close watch on him In order to pre-
vent him from getting more than his
fair share. Those in the commission
line very frequently appeal to the ava
ricious side Of the producer and will
offer far more than produce is worth
in order to get possession of it, only
to turn up missing when time for set
tlement comes. There are plenty of
honest commission men, and it never
pays to do business with any others.

Through many sections Of the west,
those which are tributary to the can
ming factories, the crop of sweet corn
raised this year will prove to be the
most profitable one raised on the farm,
Five dollars per ton has been realized
for the shucked corn, and stalks to the
value of $1.50 per acre at low esti-
mate have been left. The good crop
gave about four tons to the acre OF
ears.

Strange as 1t may seem, the orchard
and garden men near Fort Collins,
Colo, for a long time considered sheep
manure as injurious to their trees and
crops. AT this place enormous quaint
ties of sheep are annually fitted for the
market and an unlimited supply Of
sheep manure was available. A change.
however, has come, and now it is re-
garded as one of the most valuable of
fertilizers, especially for sugar beets.
Sheep manure is highly concentrated
fertilizer and might very easily be used
to excess. Of It's fertilizing value there
is no question, for all land upon which
sheep run grows constantly richer and
more productive.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1905-10-19

One waste which we note through the
corn canning sections Of the country
Is in the failure to properly save the
stalks of the sweet corn from which
the corn has been picked This is a
most valuable forage and is we'll worth
saving Ia good shape. Most of the fields
are turned over to the stock at a time
when other feed is abundant We do
not know of any nicer food for the
milk COW in the winter than these
sweet corn stalks well cured.

A friend wishes to know what is the
best use to make of bottom land which
is subject to overflow in wet seasons
to such an extent that the crops of
corn and other cereals are ruined. If
the problem is one which drainage will
not cure, the best use to make of the
land is to keep it in grass-make. a per
manent pasture of it. An acre Of blue
grass on such land will, one year with
another, pay larger profit as a meat
maker than the average dry acres Of
the farm Of which it is ID part. For
meat making or for dairy purposes
such an acre Of land will net the owner.
one year with another, not less than
So. 1t is a poor policy to try to Gull
tivate such land for the sake of a good
crop in only the extra dry seasons, for
it simply means wilderness of weeds
and no grass during the wet ones.

It is worth noting that lately a loco
motive on an eastern railway has been
very successfully operated by the use
Of peat briquettes prepared at a less
cost than coal and giving abundant
power without smoke or dirt. The
states Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
north half of Iowa abound in peat de-
posits varying in depth from two to
twenty feet, an unlimited and available
fuel supply of great calorifc value
just as soon as methods are evolved
for its practical use. It's use will in
volve the invention of some cheap ma
chine for pressing it into blocks of
proper size for use and possibly a
marked change in the stoves as now
used in order to properly burn it. Be
that as it may, there are supplies Of
peat in the northwest sufficient to last
for centuries.
