NOT AN UNMINED EVIL.

Those $4,000 abandoned farms in
New York state are not an unmixed
evil. New York people may think that
they are and Iowa people are sure OF
it, but they are not. Why? Simply
this. The land business outside the
cities being failure. New York peo-
pie have been forced to find invest
ment in Industrial enterprises and her
factories have grown in every city as
the direct result of driving invested
cap initial ont Of land into industrials. In

or course, the conditions of life in

be preferred to those of the best or
dered city. And any people is far bet
ter off with maximum of rural en-
ployment. The country towns and
farms Of Iowa are growing better citi-
Zens than the factory cities of the east
but the point to be made is this that
the unprofitableness of land in the east
has driven investment to the factories
and the interurbans and a prosperity
has been grasped from land depression
which otherwise would have wrought
a wilderness.
In Iowa. however, and everywhere

TERMS:
DIFFERENCE in OFFICE TEXTURES.

Will someone please explain why IT
is that members of congress including
United States senators are entitled to
life tenure of office? In Des Moines
there is not a man who dares aspire
for Hulls seat who can even intimate
such an ambition without a consid-
cradle number of people looking upon
him as presumptious. Yet when a Des

governor those same people protested
to be greatly alarmed at the danger in
the precedent.

Cutting Glover for Seed.
fst Paul farmer


AS clover does not mature its crop
of seed all at the same time it is a very
difficult matter to determine the best
time to begin cutting field of clover
intended for seed Some of the heads,
will begin to shell out, while there will
be many heads that will not be ma
tured. The rule that some OF our best
clover seed growers follow is to start
the cutting when about one-fourth of
the heads have begun to shell out. The
object should be, in arriving at the
best time to cut, to strike as
near as possible the time that the
greatest number of heads will be ma
tured without losing greater number
OF heads by sfelling out than would be
gained by the greener heads maturing.
Our first method of harvesting clo-
Yer for seed was to harvest it with
mower and SD adjust the dividers as
to carry the clover as much as possible
to the center of the swath so that 1t
would not be. trampled out by the
horses In cutting the succeeding swath
Then when it was slightly damp from
dew we raked it and put it into small
punches. We then hulled as soon as
1t became thoroughly dried out. We
have also used self rake reaper with
very satisfactory results. However,
when the clever stands up we'll we
found the most satisfactory method
was to use the grain binder with flax
attachment. BY this method very
small amount of waste is sustained
by tramping, and If dumped off in
windrows 1t is in very convenient
condition for taking on to the wagons
at threshing time.
The most common and worst mis-
take made in handling clover seed is
in permitting it to lie on the ground
for a long time after cutting. Espe-
cially is this very harmful to the quail
ity of the seed and this practice re-
suits in great amount of waste if
rains are frequent. In a short time Il
new growth springs up thru the small
punches of clover, the rains beat off
the seed and in very damp weather
start to sprout This sprouting will be
checked by turning or by a succeed
ing dry spell Such seed has very low
terminating qualities. To obtain the
best quality of seed and save time,
with the lowest amount of loss. the
hulling should be done as soon as the
straw has become dry and brittle. In
order that all the seed may be taken
out the thrashing should be done
while the clover is entirely free from
dew or any manner Of dampness The
drier and more brittle the straw the
more thorough will be the threshing.

Germs in tho Hog Trough.

When the conditions under which
the average hog Is raised Is taken
into consideration the wonder is not
that so many die az it is that so many
live. We are fast learning that hog
needs reasonable amount OF exercise
to keep healthy, the same as any
other animal and fewer poor brutes
are annually compelled to exist in
pens that are disgrace to the owner
and menace to the health even OF
the owner. But we have vet long
way to go In the matter of practical
hog yard sanitation. From the nature
OF the case, feeding must always be
done In a way that makes Infection
with disease germs easy. and the hog
suffering from heat or lice will hunt
the wallow to cool himself or TO
smother the vermin as the case may
be. Muddy feeding places, foul slop
barrels and filthy wallows are germ
incubators Of the best sort and hence
the necessity OF exceptional and wide
awake precautions. AS bearing upon
this the Journal OF Agriculture says:
The germs which cause any disease
multiply in filth The hog trough and
swill barrel are the most common
places around the hog pen where the
disease germs can multiply.
The average slop on which hogs are
fed is made UP Of dishwater and milk.
WITH the probable addition of some
kind Of ground feed which will fer
ment when water is added and make
an additional amount OF swill. ln-
variably this swill Is sour and often
rancid when given to the hogs In
the particles number of disease
germs are present and enter the hogs
system thru the slop
The little slop which may remain
in the trough becomes mixed with
dirt and in this other disease germs
find an ideal place to multiply, so that
by the next time the hogs are fed
there Will be enough present to give
the disease a good start in the weaker
ones.
We do not wish to be understood as
condemning swill barrels or troughs.
They are both very essential in the
production of hogs, but in neither
should the swill be allowed to sour
and both should be kept perfectly
clean. No more swill should be mixed
than is necessary for one feed. and the
barrel or vessel in which it is mixed
should be washed out as soon as the
swill is fed and then filed with water.
The trough should be washed out both
before and after every feed. Some
NAV saw that this requires too much
work. but it is the only way to insure
a herd free from disease.

Fall Care Of Cows.


prof r. T.. Hacker, writing on the
fall care of cows, strongly emphasizes
the necessity of giving them careful
attention at this season. He says:
One night or even few hours on
cold rain causes an enormous SHRINK
age of milk Food, comfort and con-
tentment are the prime factors IN
successful dairying, and it is not TOO
much to say that comfort is the prim-
est factor. To feed we'll but dlsre-
gard the bodily comfort of COW is
to count and insure disappointment.
A COW will fail to elaborate 1uii
mess of milk if she is wet or shlVer-
ing from cold. no matter how genef-
ously she is fed.
Autumn is a more critical perlod
for COW fresh in milk than WINTER.
Cold rains and raw winds are 1rultlul
causes for decreasing milk. Inc hrsl
makes inactive the muscular system
while the latter so disturbs the ner-
yous system that it fails to perform
its work Cows should therefore not
be exposed 10 fall rains. left out dur
ing cold nights. or confined IN muddy
or wet yards at any time
The proof of this theory was clearly
demonstrated by the Minnesota sta
ton herd two years ago. Some
changes were being made in the COW
barn which made 1t inconvenient to
stable the COWS for a few days, ana
lust then a cold, rainy spell set In. TO
which the COWS were exposed There

they failed to recover during the winter

care the best that could be given.
