A PRIVATE BANK BILL.

A PRIVATE BANK BILL
The senate committee on banks AMI
banking has reported a bill which
ought to pass, yet there is little likli-
private banking bill and in effect puts
all private banks under state supervis-
ion. That is it subjects all private
banks to state inspection and limits
their loans the. same as state and saw
ings banks are now limited. 1t also
provides that in towns of more than
800 population and less than 5000,
private bank must have at least $685.
600 capital In towns larger than 5000
people private banks will be required
to have $4,000 capital and in towns
of less than 5000 people $4,000 banks
viii be permitted Absolute restric-
ton is also put upon the use of deposits
in their own business by private
bankers.
The bill ought to pass, but will not,
because the legislature contains too
many private bankers. yet there Is no
good reason why private banks should
not be put under state supervision.
If there is any reason why a private
banker is afraid to have a state bank
examiner investigate his bank that
very reason i,s sufficient cause why the
bill should pass.
AS it is now any man can put the
sign Bank" over his door and proceed
to receive deposits and conduct a
banking business. He may start with
$4,000 capital and Immediately borrow
it all back again from the bank for his
own use. If he is fancy stock man
he may go farther and borrow $780,
900 or more of the depositors' money
for use in stocking his heightened
farms. In other words his depositors
loan their money to him without Sc
curity.
The proposed bill would put three
checks on this. In the first place the
light of day would be, let in on the
transaction by means of the state ex-
| aminers published report. Then the
| law would limit the amount to be
loaned to any one person as the state
banks are now limited to 10 per cent
| of their capital Then the bill pro-
vides that no part of the capital, sur
plus, undivided profits or deposits shall,
be used by anyone connected with the
bank for any purpose except the bus
mess Of the bank, that is, for no pri-
vate enterprise of his own, whatsoever.
And this is a feature that ought to
pass the bill, but it will not.
Not all private banks are in need Of
such reform because Of their present
condition, to be sure. Most of them
are sound and safe because the private
banker is sound and conservative, but
so far as any legal restrictions are
concerned there is nothing to prevent
any private banker or all Of them US
ing their depositors' money for their
own business. If the proposed bill
should pass it would not interfere in
the least with the sound banks. in fact
ought to be preferred by them for the
reason that state supervision and re-
striction would protect the sound pri-
vate banks from being classed with
institutions of the same name which,
in the absence of all restriction, will
often come into public notice with
their scandalous unsoundness. There
must be something wrong about a pri-
vate bank and private banker who
can not stand state supervision as reas
enable and just as this bill provides.

Removing Warts From Teats

warts on the teats and udder are
often very bothersome in milking. They
can be gotten rid of in this way, ac-
cordir,g to the Iowa Agriculturist:
Clean the udder with mild creoilh
solution of about teaspoonful of the
creolin and a bucket of water. Then
cnt off the warts with common scis-
sors or knife and touch the roots WIN
a pencil of silver nitrate. me ohls
treatment needed after this is that OF
keeping the udder and teats softened
with lard. Sometimes 1t is necessary
to repeat the whole performance but
this is very seldom.

Skim Milk and the Pig.

1,he skim milk on farm where from
twelve to twenty cows are kept is no
uncomfortable asset, says a writer IN
wallace's Farmer. The money Vaiue
of 1T. however, will depend very mucn
on how it is fed. Skim milk, as all
onr readers know, is an albuminous or
flesh forming food, and therefore 1t

them. but they don't usually need II.
Being an unbalanced ration, 1t is a
great waste to feed it as sole iced.
An entire skim milk diet is quite as
bad for the dairy pig as it is for the
dairy calf.

Obtaining Fertile Eggs.
Those who fill incubators early in
the season know what it is to have
difficulty in obtaining fertile eggs
at that period This Is great
drawback to early Matching and many
have been trying to ascertain what
could be done to remedy this Difficulty.
Having this in mind, writer visited
the yards of a poultryman in the east
conducted by doctor who had been
experimenting a great deal in his at
tempts to get large percentage OF
fertility in eggs for Matching. He pur-
sued what is known as the dry feeding
practice He says: Il have been using
the dry feeding method, more or less,
for eight years. I began its use in
mid winter eight years ago; at that
time I was after eg- hat could sell
for Matching broi put into each
men q hopper that IAN, meat-meal
and grit. and balanced up my ration by
feeding cracked corn in litter. I was
pleased with the results from the eggs
so were my stomers-onet of them
coming back four times for eggs IN
two hundred and twenty-egg lots the
eggs being highly fertile. From this be-
ginning 1 got such good results that
IL have gone on feeding more and more
dry meat and grain. Last winter i
had several pens of splendid Buff wy
andottes-birds that laid eggs that
sold fol-. IS per setting-that used for
producing stock birds-and fed all
food div between February LIST and
June 10Th. Several hens in these pens
were over years of age, some in their
fourth year, and this way of feeding
gave me the best results in my expert
ence. I now have over fifty chicks
from one Of the 4-year-old Buff Wyan-
dotte hens, chicks that are stocky. ac-
tive and vigorous, and a few good
enough for the Boston show. In the
same pen with the hen referred to was
q 3-year-old hen, bird that won first
prize in one of the largest exhibits OF
Buff vvyandottes ever shown. twenty
nine birds being in her class. Under
this method of feeding she produced
during the Matching season, over sixty
eggs, every one fertile and only one OF
these eggs failed to produce sturdy
chick. I am feeding this summer
chicks and hens, nine-tenths Of all
their foods in the dry form. For vari-
ETY. use small amount of ordinary

CAUSING Barren Trees to Yield.

always hesitate in cutting down
tree which seems to have any POSSIBLE
ity of value as 1t stands, and former
experiments led me to believe that
some element was lacking In the pro-
duction of these apples, says p. A. Sea-
son, of Ohio in Colman's Rural World.
investigation developed the fact that
the ground surrounding one tree had
been used as yard for hogs. This, to
my mind, was the sequel. Too much
nitrogen contained in the excrement of
the hogs had caused a rapid growth Of
beth wood and fruit, some of the latter
being quite watery but the mineral
elements potash and phosphorus, re-
quiFed by all fruit to render it's pulp
perfect in texture and better able to
resist decay, were not supplied in pro-
portion to the amount of nitrogen.
/ then procured some dissolved bone,
and some muriate of potash, and after
carefully mixing twenty pounds OF
each, applied it to the soil about the
roots, working it in carefully before
the ground froze in the fall.
The following year the good result
was plainly apparent, and there was
quite large percentage of fine apples
The application was repeated, with
great increase of perfect fruit.
treated this tree as above for four
successive falls; last year not one APP
pie with decayed center could be found,
and the tree was laden with fruit
which brought top price in March.
This fall am even better pleased with
my successful experiment, for the APP
pies are enormous, and cut or break
with the crispness of a nut, without
hint of decay, as formerly.

Creamery "overrun."

The amount of butter which
creamery makes in excess OF the Duller
f.+ is what is called the "overrun." The
butter fat is pure fat. Butter is made
IN Of butter fat plus water, salt, very
little casein, and coloring matter. Inc
legitimate amount Of this overrun IS 10
net. Some of our western creameries
have had an overrun Of II, 20, and IN
some special cases of 25 per cent. This
means, that they are adulterating the
butter with water, which is an adulter-
Eation harmless except to the pocket
book of the consumer.
Selling water for butter is very
mean way of cheating, and all the
more so because there is federal law
against butter having more than 10
per cent of overrun. We understand
from the New York Produce Review
that il recently cost western cream
ery $1,000 to square itself for this kind
of work.
The complaint is not so much against
the cooperative creameries, whose
butter-makers are not generally IN
clined to load up their butter with wa
ter but against the large central
creameries, some of which seem to nave
learned this mean trick, which IN the
end will bring it's own retribution. un-
fortunately, the farmers who furnish
the butter fat will for time be COM
PEELED to suffer with the adulterators.
