THE FANS LAMENT.

oh, the baseball seasons finished
And the tired teams are through;
Our spirits have diminished,
We are feeling sad and blue,
And on our sunbrowned face the gleaih
OF sunshine's lost at last
Because the baseball season
Has
Gone
Way
Past
Oh, the rooter he has scooted
He's through doping basebalis lore
For his larynx is polluted
And his bronchials are sore:
Today this life to him does seem
A cold and chilly blast,
Because the baseball season

Eating the Cake and Having It.

y great many farmers use cotton
seed meal as a fertilizer. applying it
to the soil in its raw state. We used
to hear a proverb that you cannot
eat your cake and have it too" Farm
and Ranch takes UP the old proverb
and proves that it is possible to eat
the cake and still have it, and in better
shape for use. The editor quotes
from reports of various experiment
sta tiOns which show that cOttOnSeed
meal may be fed to stock and if the
fertilizer is carefully saved and used
on the soil, the crops will be fully
equal to those on soil which had the
same quantity of raw cottonseed meal
applied in the usual way. OF course,
the stock has had some benefit from
the meal, therefore you have eaten
your cake and still had the use of it.
This is important if true, and the mat
ter should be thoroughly tested in
this state.

which there is any doubt With a good
law to back him the consumer can do
a great deal to put down the evils of
adulteratiOn. If he is not interested,
the complaints of the chemist are like

1t remains with the buyer to say
whether he will have pure food or
adulterated, you can have your choice.
The power of public opinion has been
amply proven, now it remains for them
to keep the officers up to the mark.
This law will do much to remedy
the evils of which there has been So
much complaint But it will not do
all that is needed. We also need a
state law, with provisions for it's Wig
orous enforcement. This would so
bolster up the national law that there
would be little danger of getting
adulterated goods.
Will you not do your best to impress
upon the members of the legislature
that we must have a state pure food

distance. If a farmer has been buying
on credit from the merchant, it would
be exceedingly ungrateful in him to
buy for cash at another place merely
to save a few cents. If he has paid
cash. it would be foolish for him to
send away for goods that he could buy
at the price of the mail order house
with the freight added. The facts are,
however, that most of the goods order
ed from such houses cannot be bought
at all i'm any small town in the state,
in such cities as Jacksonville or Tam
pa, they might be had, but usually at
a price which would be much higher
than the cost of goods at the North
with freight added and a good margin
of profit besides. Do you remember
a letter signed, A Country Merchant,
which was published in the Agri-
culturist of February 18th? We hap
pen to know the facts in that case
and know that the statements as given
are true. Here was a case where
merchant saved several dollars on
set of single harness by sending to
mail order house, though he had the
advantage of getting a discount from
retail prices. If we had a Parcels
Post our country merchants could buy
many things from the mail order
houses at great advantage to their
business.

A State Meat Inspection Law
Needed.

While it is true that the large pack
ing houses affected more people by
their unclean ways, yet, they are not
the only sinners. Human nature is the
same everywhere, and butchers in
small cities and towns need watching
as well as the large packing houses.
If a local butcher finds that he has
bought and killed diseased animal,
he is very apt to try to prevent loss
by cutting out the worst parts and
then selling the rest of the carcass.
The following Associated Press dis
patch, which appeared in the Semi
Weekly Times-Union, emphasizes the
need of a state law.
Washington, July 21-Discussing
Secretary Wilson said that there was
considerable misrepresentation regard
ing its scope. Ut does not, he said,
apply to any but slaughtering and
meat packing houses doing an inter
state business.
eff the people of this country" said
the secretary, "want to be assured
that the meat that goes into their
homes from those establishments doing
a purely state and local business is
clean and wholesome, they should
enter upon crusade for general
cleaning up. l am pOwerless, myself
to act. Quite recently l went through
some of these houses not embraced
within the federal law and found them
in a nasty, filthy condition, and in
some cases using diseased animals
1t is my one regret, that the federal
law does not reach them, but earnest
ly hope the state and city officials will
look after them as vigorously as We
propose to look after the others.

The New Horticulture in Ohio.

In the last number of Gleanings
In Bee Culture, Mr.. A. l. Root, the
senior member of the publishing firm,
tells of a visit to the state experiment
station farm at Wooster, Ohio. He
expresses the wish that every farmer
in the state could visit the farm and
see what is being done. He describes
an orchard which has been set out and
used to test different methods of culti
walton. 1t consisted of several long
rows of apple trees, each row a differ
ent variety. Across these rows, in
wide strips, were four different meth
DDS of culture. One was absolutely
clean culture, another was grass and
clover with the ground under the trees
kept clean as far out as the branches
extended, another was clover etc,
plOwed under each year, the last was
grass and clover allowed to cover all
the land, but moved and piled around
the trees as a mulch. Mr.. Root said
that if he had been told of these differ
ent plans and asked which would pro-
duce the best results, he would un-
hesitatingly have said that it would
be the strip where the leguminous
crops were plowed under. To his great
surprise he found that it was not so.
The trees which were in grass and
mulched were far ahead of all the
others, the trunks were fully twice the
size of any other lot. The leaves were
a darker green and they appeared
much more thrifty and vigorous
Mr.. Root does not hint at having
ever heard of the New Horticulture.
OF course the trees were not root prun-
ed and planted by the rules of the
New Horticulture But it is evident

Mail Order Houses.

Those editors of state exchanges,
who have been bera ting their readers
for sending orders to mail order hous-
eS, will find the other side of the
the Farmers Call, which will be found
elsewhere this week. We believe in
building up home industries as far as
possible. But. as is told in the ar
ticle mentioned, the merchant will not
pay the farmer any more for produce
than it will cost him if bought at a

The comments of the press on this
law are varied.
1t seems that congress made no ap-
propria ton for the expense of the De
the provisions of the law. Comment
ing on this fact the editor of the Indi-
ana Farmer says that it will be i'm
possible to enforce the provisions of
the law until after congress meets
next December, and not then unless
they make a special appropriation for
the purpose. The last section of the
act reads as follows: Sec. 13. That
this Act shall be in force and effect
from and after the first day of Janu-
AIRY, nineteen hundred and seven.'
Therefore it would not have been of
any use to appropriate the money so
far in advance That is the charita BILE
view of the case. Still, as apprOpria-
tions were made for the year, it would
have been wise to have included that
item with the rest. There are two
reasons which may have caused the
failure, it may possibly have been over
looked, or it may have been purpOsely
left out as a means of rendering the
law of no real value. Very few con-
gressmen dared to vote against the
bill, yet it is probable that many of
them felt that it was contrary to their
interests to have it enforced. What
the necessary funds to the Secretary
of Agriculture for this purpose, it be-
hOOves every one who is interested in
having pure food to urge the member
of congress from his district to see
that the needed appropriation is made
at the earliest possible moment after
congress meets.
The Tribune Farmer has a very
good editorial on this law. After
giving a brief review of the scope of
the law, it adds: eff the provisions
of this law are strictly enforced it
should prove adequate to stop at least
the bulk of the adulteratiOn of foods
and drugs. The chief anxiety of those
who hope for relief from the deceit
which faces them at every turn and
makes them almost despair of getting
what they pay for, is lest the act
be not adequately enforced Public
opinion should be awake ON this sub
ject to support the Department of

Agricultural Education.

There has always been great COM
plant that our agricultural colleges
were turning out more doctors, law
yers. etc, in fact, anything but farmers.
There has been good ground for the
faultfinding. We have no objection to
classical education, it does not of
itself unfit man for the life Of a
farmer. The trouble has been in the
attitude of the instructors and the
methods of teaching. This is gradual
ly being changed for the better. Still
there is yet room for greater improve
ment. The following eminently sensi-
BILE editorial we found in Farm Poul
try, and commend it to our readers:
A few weeks ago the writer CHANGED
to be one of small group of acquaint-
ances met together accidentally, and
the course of study at the Massachu-
setts State Agricultural College be-
came the topic of conversation,
through the comment made by one
of the group who had a son in that
institution, that the course for the first
three years was the same as at any
other college. From his point of view,
this seemed a most desirable state of
affairs. We remarked that so far from
being a matter for favorable comment
this was fact to be regretted, for the
agricultural colleges We're not estab-
lished to give farmers or prospective
farmers an academic training at the
expense of the state, and the general
tendency to make agricultural educa-
Elementary to an ordinary college
course being out of harmony with the
farmers own views of their education
al needs, most farmers show either no
interest or a hostile interest in the
agricultural college in their state.
We would not wish to offer our i'm
preston of this gentleman's ideas of
the elations of farmers and agricultur-
al educators as anything more than
an impression derived from a few mo-
ments' converse ton, but the impress
sion he gave us in those few moments,
was that he thought the authorities
of the agricultural college had a duty
toward the farmers of the state quite
Independent of, and possibly very diff

that even with this disadvantage,
has shown its superiority. In the face
of all this evidence why will you not
try it?
