BUSINESS ON THE FARM.

In any well conducted manufacturing
establishment the question of cost of
production is very closely studied, and
no means. are left untried to reduce
this cost of production to the lowest
possible limit. If machine will do
the work of a man, and, besides, do it
better, out goes the man, no matter
what may be the cost of the machine,
and if 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 it costs to
produce a bushel of corn. a pound OF
butter, beef or pork. If at the end Of
the year they have q little money
which no one has claim on, they fig
ure they are that much ahead More
than this they cannot tell to save
their lives about their business. 1t
would be well to make farming more
of a business proposition.

THE LEAF ROLLER.
Sometimes Very Troublesome OF
Strawberry Plants.

Sometimes Very Troublesome ON
strawberry Plants.
Among the strawberry plants now
there is a small brownish caterpillar
that folds the leaflets by bringing the
upper surfaces together and fastening
them By silken cords. This is the straw
berry leaf roller, and 1t feeds upon the
substance Of the leaves until they look
brown as if scorched.
1t Is at times an exceedingly destruc-
tive pest and has been considered the
most injurious of the insect enemies of
the strawberry.
There are three or four broods in a
season in the south. 1t is hardly practi-
cable to attempt to fight the first brood,
because the larvae spin a web about
the leaf, under which they stay, thus
preventing the proper application Of in
secticides.
The best way of fighting them is to
wait until the strawberries are all
gathered, by which time the larvae or
the pupae are within the folded leaves,
then NOW the field and allow the plants
to remain in the sun for couple of
days, after which cover them lightly
with straw or mulch and burn them
over. When the plants are very thick
they burn without the straw.

OFFAL AS HOG FOOD.

There is a growing protest against
the use of animal offal as food for
hogs. The hog is the most cosmopoli-
tan scayenger 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 confine the brute to a
strictly vegetarian diet This protest
is based mostly upon sentiment, for
we have never yet heard a similar pro-
test raised against the hen and proba-
bly, never will, while old biddy is every
way as carnivorous and indiscriminate
III her feeding as is the hog.

WINDOW BOXES.


These Charming Affairs Rapidly Be-
coming Fashionable.
The fondness for porch gardens, win
dow and balcony boxes and tub plants
is rapidly on the increase in many 10
calities, particularly in New York city,
where the roof gardens, hotels and SIM
liar resorts have been setting a good
example by the use of palms, bay trees
and decorative plant arrangements 1t
is only within few years that this Gus
tom became noticeable.
For windows, balconies, porches and
the parapets of roof gardens the style
of boxes used is as various as the archi-
lecture of the house, the tastes of the
owner or the ingenuity of the manufac-
turer can suggest. Some are of elabo-
rate workmanship, with inlaid tiles and
carved wood; others are made of pine
painted green and their cheapness hid
den by luxuriant masses of dropping
vines.
Where the leakage can do injury or
where the box itself is sufficiently yalu-
able zinc or tin lining is used. Some
very pretty affairs are strong zinc pans

IT pays to NiIk Carefully.

1t is not fair to sit down to a COW
and pull her and haul her until she
steps around in the stall and acts as
if she were being shamefully hurt,
says Farm Journal Sometimes a COW
viii stop eating and wait until the or
deal is over before she will resume
operations in that line. The COW that
does that is not comfortable. Uncon-
Portable COWS do not do their best for
their masters
Other men have way of milking
that so pleases the COW that she clearly
shows that she enjoys the process.
These are the men after whom we
should pattern.
Watching them, we see that they new
er yell nor strike nor otherwise mis-
treat their cows. They sit down quiet
ly, take hold Of the cows teats gently,
no matter in how much hurry they
may be, and begin to draw the milk
without pressing too hard, for they
know that they are touching her at her
tender point. Then they keep steadily
at it until the last drop is out.
1t pays to milk carefully. The cows
win give more; the milk will be richer
for it. Then go about it as if you had
something at stake and not as If it
was job that you hated and that
would bring nothing back and that
must be done at a now-or-never rate of
speed.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-07-06
FArR PRIcEs.

The question is, what are fair prices
for farm products and how cheap
should a farmer be able to buy the
commodities which he needs? Taking
it today at the primary markets, hogs
are worth about 5 cents per pound;
beef, 5 to 6 cents; butter, % cents;
eggs, Is cents; corn, 45 cents per
bushel; oats, 80 cents; hay, Sc per ton.
These commodities produced on land
of an average value of say $40 per
acre, the farmer pays hand $25 per
month, buys mower for $37, a
harvester for $120, a wagon for $50, a
buggy for $40, gets fence wire for
8 cents pound and Irvine for 10 cents,
pays 4 to 5 per cent interest for money
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
" balanced, or time when farming
as a business was a better all round
proposition. Still there are some men
who would like to sell corn for 81
a bushel, buy nails at cent a
pound, and get a hired man for IS
a month, and so they keep an ever
lasting howl going up at government
and the existing order of things.

WASTE ACRES.

There is a very large acreage Of the
best land III the northwest tied up and
at present entirely unproductive along
the rights of way of the railroads In
fact, it is worse than unproductive as
the cost Of cutting the weed growth
is a big item of expense to the railway
companies. We have always believed
that in time. when the roads got on a
better financial footing. efforts would
be made to improve these rights of
way and at least render them attrac-
tive If not remunerative. Some Of the
roads have commenced work along
this line, one of the big companies of
the west having commenced a system
of leasing such rights Of way to farm
ers owning adjoining land at nomi-
nal rental, the conditions being that the
land is to be plowed and seeded down
to tame grasses and be moved and
kept trimmed up. Something of the
same sort should be done with the
wagon roads. AS it is now, with the
four rod road in common use, there is a
similar and far more extensive waste
of good soil We can see no good rea-
son why, after the road is properly
graded to width of thirty or forty
feet, the rest of the highway should
not pass under the control of the adj
jacent land owner to be cultivated as
part of his field. This plan has been
adopted in few localities with the
best results. Waste acres are made
thereby productive and the appearance
of the highway and the adjoining farms
is immensely improved. The progress
Of the country in the coming years is
going to lie along just such lines-the
utilization of waste resources.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1905-07-06

At the recent meeting of the Grand
Traverse (dich.l Dairy association
Colon G. Lille gave talk that was re-
plete with sound dairy wisdom, says
Hoard's Dairyman
He illustrated the Importance of lib
eral feeding by giving the experience
Of Professor Clinton d. Smith at the
Michigan college Professor Smith
picked up twenty mine cows from vari-
GUS parts of the state at a cost Of $50
a head They were given good care
and a liberal dairy ration for one year.
They We're sold by their owners be-
cause they did not pay, yet in one year
under his system of feed and care,
Professor Smith made them average
304 pounds of butter per head and
cleared a little over % per cent on the
investment.
1t is extremely hard to convince the
average farmer of the value of liberal
feeding. Every dollar he spends in
feed on a COW looks as big as $40 spent
on a horse. The average farmer of
this country falls down" badly in
three things % In his judgment of a
COW and how to produce her; 81 how
to feed a COW so she viii produce a
profit; 81 the way to stable and care
for COW. On all these great essen
tial points his ideas and his practice
are squarely opposed to good success
and good profit with cows.

siIage For MIX.

It is generally admitted that the silo
is q good thing in the dairy, says an
Ohio farmer in National Stockman IN
the dairy section Of Ohio it has found a
place on most dairy farms and is con-
sidered Indispensable, especially for
winter milk. It is our practice to feed
silage the year round, excepting per-
haps a couple of months in the early
summer when the pasture is at It's best,
and we have come to value it nearly #
not quite as highly to supplement sum
mer pastures as for the winter ration.
