Glover, Alfalfa and Soy Beans

Following are summary and conclu-
sions from experiments:
Glover should be grown on clean
land, containing some humus.
Alfalfa should be grown on good
land, not too wet.
Both clover and alfalfa will give
best results when planted in spring
on well prepared land and by working
the seed in with drag or harrow
Alfalfa is longer-lived than most
varieties of red clover in soils adapt
ed to it, and produces more than
twice as much forage.
incubation with culture, or soil,
does not help the stand of either
clover or alfalfa.
Nodules are developed on both
plants in Kentucky soils without in
oculation.
But incubation may increase the
number of nodules in any soil.
| The crop from inoculated seed has
not been greater in our soils thus far

Milk Brings High Price

Americans and stock farms are
needed in the Panama canal zone, &C
cording to a report from Consul j. G..
Kellogg to the bureau of manufacture
ers. Milk is sold at from 20 to 80
cents gold per quart and is usually
watered before it reaches the consum-
er and poor as it is, does not supply
the demand, being hard to obtain.
The average price of beef is 20 to Is
cents a pound gold and the quality
very poor.
What are the cows worth that pro.
duce 400 pounds of butter per an

you statement and undertake to
prove it correct, says HI. B. Gurler,
De Kalb county, Illinois, as quoted by
Hoard's Dairyman. When a COW that
produces 200 pounds of butter per
annum at food cost of 500 and a
labor cost of $3.50 is worth $35, the
COW that produced 400 pounds of
butter annually is worth $500, and the
owner can make net SIG more from
her after paying interest on the $500

Ginseng

Consul Haynes of Marking, China,
sends an interesting report on ginseng
to the department of agriculture. This
plan is regarded as cure-all in
China, and the demand for it is so
great that large quantities are import
ed, a considerable quantity coming
from the United States. "Many as
sert that the future demand for gin
seng will be decreasing one," writes
the CONSUL from the fact that it's i'm
aginary properties of curing every dis
ease on earth will be dissipated in
proportion to the advance of medical
science. There can be no doubt, how
ever, but that ginseng has curative
properties. Whatever it's medicinal
properties, it can safely be asserted
that it will take many generations,
perhaps an eternity, to shake the
Chinaman's implicit faith in his mys.

Milking Machines

The Canadian Dairyman has been
Investigating the matter Of milking
machines, especially those in use in
New Zealand and Australia. They re-
port that over 700 machines are now
being used in these countries and pub
lish letter from the principal of the
Hawkesbury Agricultural college, New
South Wales, in which he says that
they have been using milking mach
ines in the college dairy for three
years past. He says the saving in
labor will average about thirty per
cent per cow per annum, and this is
apart from the advantage gained in
having clean milk He says further
that the advantage from the stand
point of cleanliness IS very pro-
nounced.
The New Zealand Dairyman Is au-
thority for the statement that it is
only a question of time when hand
milking will be thing of the past in
that country in all the larger diaries.
A correspondent of the Dairyman
reports a visit to one of the largest
diaries where machines are used.
Over one hundred cows were MIXED
in this dairy, and all of the work done
by the proprietor, his son and three
daughters Three machines are used.
Two of the ladies manage the three
machines milking six cows at a time.
The third sister does the stripping
of the COWS and the brother takes
| care of the milk and helps the third
sister With regard to the amount of
strippings, the correspondent states
that they run about half a gallon to
eight cows, but sometimes less than
this. Before machines were installed
about one-half of the present number
of cows were MIXED. They estimate
that with the machine a COW can be
MIXED in one minute after the ma
chine is attached, and the entire herd
of 103 in two hours and ten minutes
Mr. Crow, one of the government
dairy experts, reports a visit to one
herd in which eighty-two cows were
MIXED by one man and a boy
with the aid of two machines, the en-
tire time of milking being but two
hours and half.
An estimate of another correspond
ent of the cost of milking 120 cows
with four machines, including labor,
wood, oil, repairs, ETC., is about $3.50
per week, while the cost of milking
the same number of cows by hand
would be $42 per week
The New Zealand dairyman certain
| ly seems to be making success of
the milking machines.

due Just as surely as the day of the
drama with ''One part" is on the wane,
so surely is the musical comedy with
a single comedian a thing of the past.
There are very few individuals on the
stage today who can amuse an audi
ence for two hours and a half. The
playgoing public is moved by a desire
for entertainment nowadays, and not
by curiosity to see some particular
star This has been proved over
and over again during the past few
seasons by the avalanche of name
failures. The attractions literally pat
ronized by the public today are not
those which exploit single foOtlight

the ground of genuine merit.

BUYING CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Useful Hints For Working Girls "a
Follow.


"The girl who works for her living
does have hard time gathering up her
Christmas gifts unless she has fine
head for organization and knows where
TO shop" says Anna Steese Richardson
in the Woman's Home Companion for
December. The first thing to remem-
Der is that the Christmas bargain coun-
ter is the dumping ground of the
shrewd merchant. He losses here all
the left overs from last years unsala-
BILE stock. For this counter he buys up
old wholesale stocks, auction lots and
factory ends. Nobody knows the fail
ings of the bargain counter shopper
better than does this shrewd merchant
And he makes so instead of , per cent
on every sale. Every thing is mussy,
and colors are garlsh. Moths have eat
en- into this, and dust has settled on
that. But the woman who tries to
shop against time does not notice these
defects.
The later you shop the more impOr-
tant it is that you go TO Il good store.
Girls who work downtown should leave
home half an hour earlier, go to Il first
class shop, tell the clerk frankly just
how much they can spend. and unless
my measure of the clerk in the first
class store is wrong they will be wait
ed on promptly and satisfactorily. But
if you know you have only $50 to
spend on Il nOuveau art pin for your
chum's belt do not waste the clerk $
time and yours looking at ten or fifteen
dollar pins. BE as businesslike in your
shopping as you are in the perform
ance of your office duties and you will
reap the reward of good and the bless
ings of the unhappy clerks"
