Getting Down to business Dairying,


The first Dairy Test Association in
New England was organized Il few days
ago at Durham, n. H., under direction
Of the Experiment Station workers.
The membership is made up of pro
gressive dairy farmers. The object is
20 cooperate in getting records which
show the quality of milk in the various
herds and the cost of feeding. The as
ISOLATION Will engage an agent to do
the testing and each member will pay
his part of the expense. The plan has
been found to work successfully in
other parts of the country and enabled
dairymen to find out Just what their
herds are doing and what changes are
needed. The experiment stations of
New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine,
it IS understood, will encourage the
formation of these associations in all
dairy sections.

Farmers and Poultry FancicrS.

The farmer has real grievance
against the poultry fancier, IN that he
has done all Of his crossing and in
breeding of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
teal utility, says Farming Whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing were producing sixty eggs year
or 200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out a foul flight
feather or two, or to Il create better
comb, or eyes Of better tint, at n
sacrifice of everything else. The result
is that when q farmer goes into the
market to buy thoroughbreds with his
money in his pocket ready ard willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does not
need, but actually pays premium fcc
something that has been obtained at a
sacrifice of the very qualities which he
docs need. There are a few men, how
ever raising thoroughbred stock that is
bred to lay" or to meet certain mar
ket demands, and those are the men
that should be patroniZed.

Keeping the Cider Sweet.

The keeping Of cider as sweet as pos
sible represents another important task
in connection with this product Sassa-
fras bark, or ground cinnamon, are
among the preservatives most used In
rural homes. In cities the taste is oft
en- spoiled by too much preservatives.
Left to itself, sweet cider soon becomes
hard. Hard cider is intoxicating, and,
on account of the difficulty in determin-
ing just when alcohol begins to enter
into sweet cider many temperance peo-
pie are inclined to put the ban on all
cider.
Vinegar is obtained by placing bar
rels of cider In the sun or in warm
cellar. The bungholes of the barrels
are always left open. Mother OF vine
gar Is put into each barrel in small
quantities, and helps in the transforma-
ton Of cider to vinegar. A very large
per cent Of the cider that comes from
the present-day cider mill is eventually
turned into vinegar.
1t is fact not appreciated by every
one that the quality of cider, and the
ether products OF the cider as well, is
dependent upon the kind Of apples that
are used Those people who insist on
using the scrubs of the orchard for
cider cannot expect the best results.
In some states apples are grown espe-
cialiy for cider. A ripe apple and one
that is particularly full Of juice will
make better cider better jelly and bet
ter apple butter than ones that do not
possess these qualities. Among the
common varieties of apples the Bald
win is much desired for the cider mill

Lime and Plant Foods.

, Lime enters into the composition of
upon its tendency to hasten chemical
action in the soil rather than upon It's
use as food for plants, and whether the
soil is light or heavy, sterile or fertile,
there is some change introduced by
dime when applied to the land. Its ten
dency Is to work downward, for which
reason it is advantageous to apply a
small quantity each year after the first
application, beginning with twenty
bushels per acre on light soils and
thirty bushels on heavy land; but even
ten bushels will show some results, as
lime fits the soil for the presence of
micro -organisms which perform an i'm
portant function when providing plant
food, an alkaline condition of the soil
being sometimes necessary, especially
for clover. AS carbonic acid is largely
generated by the decomposition OF veg
ctable matter in the soil, the appllca-
ton of lime creates many changes,
chemically, in which other mineral and
organic substances are broken up Ill
their combinations, rendering soluble
many inert materials that could not be
employed as plant food, but which eX-
list in the soil abundantly. While lime
is not, therefore, a necessary adjunct
to the soil with other fertilizers, ana
gives but little benefit to the crop II
self, yet its indirect action unIocks
stores of materials, and supplies the
crops with available fertilizers. The
action of lime in the soil is nearly al
ways beneficial, and farmers who have
used lime seldom discard It, 1t gives
the best results on soils that contain
large proportions of vegetable matter,
and it releases stores OF plant foods for
the use of crops.

Acting upon complaints regarding

and also as the result of a general in
YestigatiOn of the subject of grain
rates by the rate commission, a deci-
sion of vast Importance to the farmers
of Wisconsin was announced yeSter-
day by the commission.
The decision reduces the rates on
grain from all grain-shipping points in
the state to Milwaukee. Many points
are not affected at all, but these are
almost entirely places where little if
any grain is shipped to Milwaukee
The average reduction amounts to
about Is to 20 per cent. The decision
applies to the Northwestern, the Mil
waukee, Wisconsin Central and
Omaha roads. Complaints against the
Northwestern and Omaha roads were
filed by Mr.. Houser, who alleged that
eXhorbltant rates were charged on
grain shipments on these two roads
between his home. MOndovi. and Mil
waukee. o. G. Kinney complained
against the Wisconsin Central and
alleged that this road charged exces-
sive rates on grain from his home
Colfax, to Milwaukee. The rate com.

the matter thus presented, determined

Commission Praises President for

Washington, Aug. 10.-In state
ment issued yesterday by the Inter-
state Commerce commission regarding
the conviction of the Santa Fe rail
way for violating the law with re-
spect to rebates, the commission says
the avowed purpose of the practice
tends to support the view that there
vas no criminal intent on the part of
Paul Morton, former secretary of the
navy, and former head Of the traffic
department of the Santa F'e and the
other railroad officials involved. The
statement calls attention to the fact
that with the imposition of $4,000
fine on the railroad, the history of
the famous Santa Fe rebate case is
practically closed" and praises Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Attorney General
Moody for carrying out with success
the administration declared purpose
to enforce the statute in all such
cases.
