VALUE OF CAMPHOR TREES.
By-Products of Formosa's Growth Are
of Considerable Worth.

By Products of Formosa's Growth Are
of Considerable Worth.
Every part Of camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to F0rmosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper. With the extension Of the in
dustry the large areas of this tree have
been greatly reduced, though replant-
ing and cultivation are practiced to
considerable extent, tree requiring so
years to attain a diameter Of one
foot
In Formosa, however, there is still
an extensive supply of native forest
growth and many huge trees are to be
found in regions still unexplored. The
supply, therefore, is assured for years
to come.
Camphor is found in the form of
crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double
distillation. From the first distiila-
ton is secured an oxidized product.

fusing at 10 degrees centigrade.
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by sublimatfng the
crude oil and used in the manufacture
Of soap. Red oil also is obtained from
the crude camphor OIL as well as a
black oil, which is extensively used in
the preparation of varnishes. A tur-
pentine is secured from the white oil
that is in great demand for medical
and industrial purposes. From red oil
is obtained the product known as saff-
rol, employed to a considerable extent
in the manufacture of perfumery and
also soap; and a disinfectant is also
distilled from red oil, after the add
ton of other substances, claimed to
kill the cholera bacillus. Another pro-
duct is an insecticide, which when min
gled with 100 parts Of water destroys
insects injurious to farm crops.
The annual export Of camphor from
Japan is about 100000 pounds. three
fourths of which is produced In For
mosa, the other fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu and
Shikoku. By a provision Of the law
of 1908 the sale of camphor produced
in japan is monopolized by the govern
ment through a restriction Of the sale
Of crude camphor and camphor oil.

More Meat and Milk for Poultry.

Lack of animal food is the weak
point with the average poultry ration.
The feeder is apt to use scraps of fresh
reat as if it were kind of relish
and not an important part of the food,
as his own ration of beefsteak. Re-
suits of recent tests at the Geneva
IN. W Experiment Station favor the
use for the first few weeks Of a ra-
ton in which GO per cent of the flesh
forming food or protein came from ami
NAL food Growth was more rapid,
and equal growth made from less food
at a lower cost than other rations hav-
ing 90, 80 or 40 per cent Of animal
protein After the first few weeks, it
was found profitable to increase the
proportion of grain. These conclusions
are in agreement with common sense,
as the young of all birds in the wild
state feed largely upon insects.

1mnroving Forest Products.

One fact of especial significance
noted In the recent government for
estry report is that at the auction sale
of timber sold under the Morris bill
from the Chippewa reserve in Mime
sofa. this timber, which was to be cut
and removed under regulations pre-
scribed by the bureau, brought price
reported to be higher than has ever
before been obtained for consider
able body of white pine timber, and
higher than was paid for similar adj
jacent timber not subject to the rules
of the forester. Another important
fact testifying to the great economic
value of the bureaus operations is
that the new method of extracting tur-
pcntine has added to our product of
naval stores a value of 100000 an
nualIy, the product having been in

Graded Milk and Cream.

SO far as we know, it was Prof
Fraser, of the Illinois Experiment Sta
ton, that first suggested the grading
of milk and cream for city use. We
believe this is a thing to be desired.
The farmer that sells cream to city
people has little conception Of just
what kind of cream he should send
to market. There is no standard. He
may send such thin cream that he
loses his customers, or he may send
such thick cream that he may keep
his customers, but bankrupt himself
It would be we'll to have standard
for the different kinds of dairy prod
ucts put Oh the market, and let the
buyer pay accordingly. If he wants
cream that is 90 per cent butter fat,
let him have it, but if he wants cream
that is 30 per cent pure butter fat, let
him pay 80 per cent more for that
than for the cream that contained only
20 per cent. Just now the farmer is
really receiving pay for about 20
per cent cream, but he frequently
sends a cream that is fully 80 per cent
in richness. Under a system Of graded
cream he would receive pay for such
cream.-EXchange

White or Dark Eggs,

In some sections the demand is for
white shell eggs and in other sections
just as insistent for eggs with brown
shells The demand for brown eggs is
better for the poultryman, for it en-
ables him to keep Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes or Brahmas, all Of which
will furnish the brown eggs and at the
same time a splendid carcass for the
market, while if he wants the white
egg and a pure bred fowl at the same
time, he must depend largely on the
white Leghorn, which, as a carcass
fowl, is about as poor specimen OF
chicken as one wishes to eat.
To obtain white egg and large
carcass is not SO easy, but one may
obtain an egg nearly white by breeding
the White Plymouth Rock or White
Wyandotte males to White Leghorn
females The eggs are not of that pure
white shell laid by the pure Leghorn,
but they are much lighter in shade
than the lightest egg laid by Plymouth
Rocks, while the carcass Is but little,
if any, smaller than that Of the Ply
mouth Rock, and the egg production
is about between the Rock and the
Leghorn. Anyone starting into make
a success of the poultry business must
be prepared to cater to market de-
mands regardless of their own prefer
ences as to breeds. II the market
wants white eggs and you prefer to
raise Plymouth Rocks, then keep out
of the egg market and raise for the
carcass only. 1t will pay better.

The Ice Cream Trade.

Ice cream is not new factor in the
market, but within the last few years
it has assumed an Importance that
it did not previously have. Many farm
crs are finding it highly remuneratiye
to sell their cream for the making Of
ice cream. For this kind of work,
cream must be perfect. The quality
counts for q great deal. Cleanliness
is an essential. A few farmers with
large herds of good dairy cows are
making their own cream and supply
ing hotels, restaurants and picnic par
ties. This adds manufacture to pro-
duction. 1t is doubtful if it will pay
most farmers to enter into the man
ufacture of the ice cream when they
can sell it to some company or man
that makes a business of supplying ice
cream. 1t will pay the farmer to be-
gin the manufacture of ice cream If
there is no one to whom he can sell the
raw cream to advanta ge.-Exchange

Unthreshed Grain for Poultry.

Save a small amount Of unthreshed
grain for the poultry. You will save
the thresher's bill on it, and the poul-
try will even pay you nice profit
for the privilege of working it over for
their own benefit, by an increased sup
DIV Of eggs and thriftiness and growth
among the flock. Wheat Is the best
for this purpose, but rye and oats are
also excellent If so desired, you can
select some Of your poorest grain for
this purpose, as the main object is to
furnish the poultry with some interest
ing employment. Save enough of the
unthreshed grain to furnish one good
sized bundle for every thirty hens in
the flock daily. Whole grain can with
advantage be scattered among the
straw. 1t will prevent the greedy ones
from Cutting themselves, while the
small and weak ones have chance
to get their share of the grain. After
the straw has been thoroughly worked
over and all grain picked out it should
be all raked up and removed before
bringing in a fresh bundle. It possible,
the unthreshed grain should be placed
under shed or in barn to keep
dry. If unthreshed grain cannot be OBJ
tanned, dry fresh straw and chaff will
be good substitute to sprinkle the
grain among if frequently changed.
but it will not give as good results
as the unthreshed grain, owing to the
amount of healthy exercise which the
unthreshed grain will furnish.-Homf
