nusrNEss ON THE FARM.

In any well conducted manufacturing
establishment the question Of cost of
production Is very closely studied. and
no means are left untrled to reduce
this cost Of production to the lowest
possible limit II machine will do
the work of q man, and, besides, do 1t
better, out goes the man. no matter
what may be the cost Of the machine,
and II new machine will do the work
cheaper than the old one. out goes the
old one. We note that there is very
little of this thing to be seen on our
farms, where the cost Of producing
farm crops and meats Is seldom seri-
ously considered. In fact, but few
farmers really know what 1t costs to
produce u bushel Of corn. a pound Of
butter, beef or pork. If at the end Of
the year they have little money
which no one has a claim on. they fg-
ure they are that much ahead. More
than this they cannot tell to save
their lives about their business. 1t
would be we'll to make farming more
Of business proposition.

The park feature of the grounds is
not surpassed in beauty or arrange

state, as its broad, rolling lawns,
studded with rare shrubbery, fragrant
flowers and sweet smelling towering
plants, stately forest trees, inviting
retreats. and broad, clean, shaded
walks leading to the various exhibit

make it an ideal spot for nature low

A man in southern Minnesota wants
to know how he can raise 400 bushels
Of potatoes to the acre. He says that
the average crop Of his locality ls
about 125 bushels per acre. He can
not do II on old and poor land. He
cannot do II unless he Is willing to
spray his crop and protect 1t from
blight and insect pests. He should
have preferably a piece Of new hazel
brush or timber land or clover Sod
turned over the previous season In
september, with the second crop turn
ed under On this field he should put
twenty loads of well rotted stable ma
hure with spreader early in the
spring, then disk both ways and se-
cure a garden-like condition of the
soil. He should plant In drills three
feet apart, the one-half Of good
sized potato sixteen inches apart in
the fow. The field should be dragged
every day when 1t is dry from the
time the potatoes are planted until the
vines are six inches high. This should
be followed by repeated cultivation,
hilling the vines slightly until the
vines are In bloom and, should the
weather be dry, with surface cultiva.
tion afterward. If he sprays at the
proper time to head Off the blight and
the bugs in addition to the foregoing
ne will come very near getting his 400
bushels.

he borrows, and we most seriously
question If In all the country's history
there has ever been time when the
values of commodities were more near

who would like to sell corn for 81

LIVE STOCK BUILDING.

In the northern section of the
grounds are located the great live
stock buildings one each for horses,
cattle. sheep and swine; while IN
close proximity is the poultry and pet
stock department These are the
most modern exhibition buildings ever
constructed, and their general ar
rangement and equipment have called
forth high praise from the leading
live stock journals and exhibitors of
the country.
Located in the southern section of
the grounds, directly opposite one OF
the main entrances, will be found the
machinery department The exhibi.
ton capacity OF this department has
been greatly augmented. since the ex.
position OF last year, by the erection
OF two mammoth machinery halls,
each 102 402 feet, and the depart.
ment now has total exhibition space
OF 1G4,0l6 square feet. The new
buildings parallel the old power hall,
on either Side, and were necessitated
by the yearly increased demands for
exhibition space in this department.

orFAL As.Hoa FOOD.

There is a growing protest against
the use of animal offal as food for
hogs. The hog is the most cosmopoii-
tan scavenger Of any Of our domestic
animals, save possibly the hen. and,
while we are not prepared to say that
this catering to the hogs carnivorous
tastes units him as food for man, the
knowledge that he has been SO fed and
fattened does something to neutralize
the fetching flavor Of boiled ham,
young pig sausage and the toothsome
roast pork and apple sauce. Some Of
the states are legislating against this
barbarous method Of feeding the pig
and propose to conflne the brute to n
strictly vegetarian diet. This protest
is based mostly upon sentiment. for
we have never yet heard similar pro-
test raised against the hen and proba-
bly, never will. while old biddy Is every
way as carnivorous and indiscriminate
IN her feeding as ia the hog.

The coming Ohio State Fair and
Industrial Exposition, to be held at
Columbus, five full days, Sept 4, 8, 6,
7 and s, will be the fifty-fifth annual
exhibition held under the auspices OF
the State Board of Agriculture.
The history of the Ohio State Fair
is an example of the energy and thrift
Of the people of the great Buckeye
state. It's growth has been marvellous,
advancing as 1t has during the past
twenty-five years from a small, mi
gratory exhibition to stupendous
exposition, representing in we'll classi-
fed and systematized divisions and
classes Ohio's valuable resources,
both in the agricultural and industrial
lines. The permanent park grounds
consist of one hundred and fifteen
acres of rolling land, situated about
two and one.half miles north of the
State Capitol, on which have been
erected seventeen substantial exhibi-
ton buildings and numerous other
structures. including grand stand

BETTEp ROADS.

Referring again to the new method
Of treating the earth roads by the use
of the, road drag, 1t is interesting to
note with what remarkable rapidlty
the idea is spreading. Thousands Of
miles Of the worst dirt roads in the
west are by this process being trans
formed into splendid highways at a
most trifling expense. The plan is TAX
ing with the farmers everywhere, and
another year will see the plan gener-
ally adopted all over the country and
contracts let each spring by the town
ship authorities to have all the roads
in each township dragged at the proper
time throughout the season. The plan
is also being taken up by many towns
for the care of the dirt streets and with
the greatest success and satisfaction.
1t is II cheap and practical solution Of
one Of the most difficult problems
which face nearly all communities.

DANGEROUS IMpoRTATIoNs.

All importations of animal, bird and
Insect life are in way violation of
natural law, for the reason that all
country some agency to properly hold
them in check, and this is hardly ever
imported with them. If the conditions
are favorable to the increase Of such
imported life 1t is easy to see that 1t
may soon become pest unhindercd by
Its natural checks. This is very clearly
seen in the case of the importation Of
the English rabbit into Australia, there
being there none of the rabbits natu-
raj enemies to be found, such as wea-
sells, stoats, hawks and foxes, and, food
being abundant and climatic condi-
tions favorable, the rabbit soon be-
came great national pest and Is to-
row imported into this country the
same thing is true. In England the
common house cat Is the natural enc
my Of the sparrow and does more than
any other one agency to hold this pest
in check. There for hundreds Of years
the cat has been acquiring the sparrow
habit and will climb trees and the cor
nices of buildings in search Of their
young,> while the American cat hardly
knows enough to catch one in bush or
ON the lawn when it has the chance.
The gypsy moth was imported some
years ago and without its natural
check, with the result that vast sum
of money has been spent to limit its
ravages.
