A BIG EDITORIAL OFFICE.
The Department of Agriculture Pub
fishes Over Four Booklets for
Every Day in the Year.

One of the biggest editorial offices
in the Government and probably in
the country is in the Department of
Agriculture where the Division of
Publications edits, revises, and in
some cases returns to the authors
for rewriting an average of four bull
letins or books for every day in the
year. During the last fiscal year l.
463 new publications passed through
the editors hands, nearly 400 of
these, however, being issued by the
Weather Bureau, which is under the
Department of Agriculture. The to-
tai number of copies of the remain
ing 1000 odd publications printed dur
ing the year was 12,000,475. Many
of these are generously illustrated,
and beside the great number of orig
inal photographs used, the artists of
the Department make something over
1000 drawings year for illustrating.
The head of this Division, or the
Editor of the Department as he is
known, is Mr.. George William Hill,
an old-time editor of an agricultural
paper, but he has held his present
position for many administrations.
There have been very many rad
ical changes said Mr.. Hill, Gin the
publications of the Department with
in the last ten years. At one time,
the Agricultural Reports and other
pamphlets and bulletins issued were
more or less technical, having the rep
utation generally throughout the coun-
try, of being written in about as dry
and uninteresting a manner as pos
sible. The present Secretary has con-
tinually impressed upon his Chiefs of
Divisions the desirability of short, crisp
articles and bulletins, especially in
the annual Year Books, written in a
practical and simple style, with the
result that the Publications of the
Department have come into very gen.
eral favor with the farmers and are
eagerly sought after. which is evil
dent by the enormous number of re-
quests for them"
The Farmers Bulletins, descriptive
of all sorts of farm work, stock-rais-
ing, fruit-growing, etc., and of which
nearly $50 have been published, are
by all odds the most popular of the
Departments of Publications. They
are brief, written in simple style and
discuss subjects near to the heart of
the agriculturist. Many of them have
been condensed and rewritten from
the longer and more technical bulle-
tins, setting forth the results of ex-
haustive experiments. More than s.

ter of the disease or where they have
not developed sufficiently for him to
determine the true nature of the case.
In this event he does not wish to dis
play his ignorance or what in reality
may be but an apparent lack of knowl-
edge, since at some stages it is i'm
possible to accurately diagnose case;
but a frank admission of this kind
would destroy the patients confidence
in his physician. And so at this juno
ture the ''bread pill' steps in, is given
to the sick person, with no apprehen-
sion of any harm resulting therefrom.

Balanced Rations a Necessity.

Notwithstanding this extraordinary
practice the bill for veterinary services

past six years has been but $3.50, and

duplicated on other farms, but it de-
pends on the soil and the man who has
the management of it. 1t cannot be
done by one who is not a student. A
similar system may be developed on
any dairy farm that disposes of pas,
lures. Where land is cheaper and the
dairyman can afford pastures, the sys-
TEN would be radically different in
summer but not in winter. Probably
the most important single feature of
this Pennsylvania farm aside from the
systematic manner in which it is con-
Quoted is the one of handling the ma
nure. The fact that the stock is
stabbed the year round makes it pos
sible to save all the manure both
liquid and solid and apply it to the
land. Being applied daily as pro-
duced, any teaching by rains, carries
the leached materials into the soil
where it is needed. The remarkable
yields of every portion of this farm
seem to indicate that this method of
handling manure is highly satisfac-
tory

A NON-P4TENTABLE MEDICINE
Universally Used by the n edicaI Pro-
feSSion.

What is the most important remedy
known to the medical profession? A
guessing contest might be established
upon this question which would doubt
less bring to the fore a great variety
of remedies, yet, as stated by a very
successful practitioner, there is one
medicine given to patients which ply
sicians find more important than any
other. Strange to say, this is the quite
universal and Ineffective bread pill %
which, after all. is not bread, but only
so-called on account of its harmless
nature The bread pill is sometimes
nothing more than plain sugar pei
let, at others, where liquid prescrip-
tion is given, a weak solution of sugar
and water. or a mixture of powdered
licorice or gentian, both harmless
drugs when given in the weak proper
tions prescribed by the doctor.
Of course the principle use of the
dread pill'' is in. the case of a pa
tient, who, imagining himself i'll

A MODEL FARM
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

There is a farm in southeastern
Pennsylvania which the Department
of Agriculture considers model twen-
tieth century farm. 1t consists of f1f-
teen acres, thirteen of which are in
cultivation, the remaining two acres
being occupied by buildings, yard, etc.
This land came into the possession of
the present owner-a minister of the
Gospel-in 1881 with a mortgage of
$4,000 upon it.
Improving the Soil.
The soil of the farm is a reddish
somewhat gravelly clay. So run down
was it in 1881 that it did not support
the two COWS and one horse kept upon
It, Last year it raised all the rough
age for thirty head of stock, seventeen
of which are COWS in milk. 1t has
been brought up to it's present remark
able state of fertility solely by the use
of stable manure applied directly from
the barn. The system of handling this
manure is such that none is lost, either
liquid or solid. No commercial fertil-
izers have ever been used and no ma
nure has been hauled from the city.
This is a practice greatly differing
from that in vogue on the majority of
Amador ledger., 1906-02-16

work of the Department. 'T cannot
believe that the farmers of the coun-
try as a whole appreciate what a
splendid mine of agricultural infor.
nation exists in these farm bulletins,
which they can have for the asking.

tematic is the work that the owner
may leave for a week without notice
to the laborers, with no interruption
to the regular routine. The feeding
of the COWS, the handling of the milk,
keeping the barn clean and disposing
the manure, are all worked out under
such a system that they require little
supervision on the part of the proprie-
tor. There is no pasture on this farm
for pastures on such high-priced land
are out of the question. There is not
even barn lot, the thirty head of
cattle remaining in the stalls the year
round. We have been taught that this
is not good practice, for it has been
supposed that milch cows need Ger
tain amount of exercise, yet it must
be considered that the Danish COWS
stand in their stalls from November
to May and are staked out in the field
from May to November, and yet Den
mark ranks high in the dairy industry
and her cows are healthy.

But no amount Of law can regulate

GIGANTIC RAILROAD MERGER.
VIII Attempt to Shut Hartman Ava,
From Pacific Coast.

New York, Feb. 19.-For several
days 1t was rumored in well informe d
financial circles that a gigantic rail-
road merger would soon be formed.
which would put all former mergers
ever formed in the shadow. Today
more definite information regarding
the proposed merger was obtained
from a well informed and thoroughly
reliable source. According to the in
formation thus obtained the scheme
means the consolidation of the North
ern Pacific and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee q st. Paul and the Great North
ern and the Burlington into two great
transcontinental lines. It also means
an attempt to shut out Hartman in
terests on the Pacific coast, and a
desperate fight between the four lines
mentioned and the Hartman lines.
If successfully carried out, the plan
would mean the formation of two Of
the greatest railroad systems in the
world. The Great Northern, with its
1920, 100000 of iron ore lease, and
the sale of its rights to its own and
Burlington stockholders amounting to
s50,O00,000 more, will cement these
two roads into one vast double track
system to the coast. The Northern
Pacific, whose stock is actually worth
5000 on the basis of its earnings, may
easily devote 100000 900 toward the
purchase of stock in the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, now extending to
the Pacific coast and practically par
alleling the Northern Pacific. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul will
find it more convenient at points
along the route to use the Northern
Pacific tracks. Indeed, conferences
have already been held between the
officials of the two roads to that end.
