SUCKED SLOT MACHINES.

Reports in the daily press of the past week tell of an old professor in Hi nois, eighty years of age, who after lifelong thrift and economy had sue ceeded in accommodating competence of S12,000, every cent of which he ha;i lately lost as result of bucking slot machines. The reports picture the old man penniless and on the road to the penthouse, hugging tight to his breast the Greek, Latin and French books which had been accompaniments of his former years of good horse sense and industry. While the instance cited is probably extreme, 1t is Q pretty good illustration of the finish of a large class of fellows who make a business of bucking slot machines or engage iu enterprises that are just as disappoint- ing and foolhardy, many of whom do not have so much as a Latin grammar or Greek lexicon as relic to remind them of better days and cheer them in their Restitution. The poorhouse Is the logical if not always actual destination Of the slot machine devotee.

GRINDING CORN.

The Wisconsin experiment station has been conducting feeding expert ments for the past ten years, and one point of interest which has been de termined quite conclusfvely is the rela- tive feSding value of ground and un- ground corn. The tests showed that grinding corn adds 6 per cent to it's feeding value. That is, if corn is worth 9 cents per bushel, 1t is worth 119 cents more if ground; if 50 cents per baslial, 8 cents more. In view of these figures the only other factor that needs to be considered is the cost of grinding, a matter which each feeder must figure out for himself. It was also deter mined In the conduct of the expert ments that cornmeal was preferable to shelled corn when forced feeding or finishing was desired.

SQUIRRELS VERSUS BIRDS.

We have been watching with consid- erable interest a controversy that is being carried on through the columns of paper in a nearby town relative to the red squirrel. One correspondent holds that, due to protective laws, they have become positive nuisance with in the city limits-destroy the egg. young and nests of all the much prized song birds, are as bad as pest of rats when 1t comes to eating and scattering grain in his barn, while they also dig up his lawn and make 1t unsightly. His friend, who Is especially fond Of the squirrels, states that the damage to the birds is exaggerated, while the little animals are very cute and grace full. Ever since one morning last sum- mer. when we picked up couple of half grown grosbeaks whose heads had been bitten through by maraud- ing red squirrel, we have had mighty little love for the tribe in spite O. their agility and cuteness. Give us the birds and their sweet songs every time

HARNESS OIL

The following recipe is recommended for making harness oil: Take two quarts of fish oil, two pounds of mutton tallow, one pint of castor oil, one-quar- ter pound of ivory black, one-half pound of beeswax, four ounces of resin, one ounce of Burgundy pitch. Put Ingredients into an iron kettle, place over slow fire md boil and stir for half an hour. Let settle for fifteen minutes and then pour off all but the sediment into another vessel Use cold. After oiling the harness wipe it off with dry rag. Neatsfoot oil will answer if fish oil is not obtainable.

THE IDEAL AND PRACTICAL.

The question is being raised by some, and we believe with propriety, whether the type of corn that scores the highest and gets the prizes at the corn shows is at the same time the most practical for farmers to grow for feeding pur- poses. Agricultural colleges should look this matter up, as it is only when their work is practical that they have claim upon state taxpayers for main tenarce and support. In all too many cases the matter of size and prettiness of ear are given so prominent place that not only does such type of corn ripen with difficulty in northern DOT tions of the corn belt, but in some cases 1t does not possess so large a per cent of corn as with some of the smaller native varieties

A COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.

A COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.
 A cold storage experiment conducted by the Iowa experiment station in CO., operation with the United States di- vision of pomology during the past winter presents some results that will be of interest to apple growers. A number of varieties were put in stor- age about Oct. 1 under as nearly the same conditions of picking and pack ing as possible. They were taken out Of storage May z. It was found that the Wealthy, which Is recognized as merely fall and early winter apple, showed more sound fruit at the end of the period than Northwestern Green ing, which is a strictly winter apple. The Black Annette, Grimes Golden and Sheriff were badly scalded, while the Canada Baldwin, Aliens Choice and Roman Stem were in fine condition, as were also the Scott Winter, Ingram, Nelson Sweet and some others. The intention is to repeat the experiment the coming season with a view to still further simplifying and verifying the results already obtained.

THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

For the benefit of those of our read CTS who may not have a spraying cal endar at hand we will give the recipe for the bordeaux mixture which we are using in our spraying operations this year. Dissolve four pounds of copper sulpl4ate by suspending 1t in a wooden vessel containing four or five gallons of water. Hot water is prefer able if one Is in q hurry. Stake the lime In another vessel. This should be done slowly; otherwise 1t Is likely to be lumpy. After it has cooled pour tho copper sulphate solution into a bar rel and half fill with water. Add five pounds of the lime and fill With water so as to make about fifty gallons In all. If spraying is to be done on a largo scale, it is well to have stock solutions of both the sulphate and lime. The lime should not be added to the sulphate solution until ready to use. The solution should be strained through a gunny sack or thirty mesh brass strainer before it is put into the spray tank. To ascertain If sufficient lime has been added to neutraliZe the sulpuule pltCe u SlHuH Qudulty oI hS bordeaux mixture in saucer and add two or three drops of prussiate of pot ash Ca deadly poison). If this changes the bordeaux mixture to reddish brown color, there Is not enough lime present, and more limewater should be added until no reddish precipitate results. In case it is desired to use an arsenate at the same spraying pound of paris green may be added to every 150 gallons of water. This should be thoroughly mixed with water in a small can and the Jumps removed be- fore 1t Is added to the tank. All dur ing the spraying operation the liquid in the tank should be kept thoroughly stirred, as the paris green Is heavy and settles to the bottom.

INExcusABLE HOG LOSS.

The experts in charge of the Iowa experiment station have recently is- sued a pamphlet in which they state that if every hog raiser In the state lost an average of five pigs last year It meant a total oss' of $5,000,000 for the state as q whole in actual farm profits. And If a like loss were sus- tained in all of the hog raising states the grand total would be enormous. They attribute the widespread loss in lhis particular branch of husbandry to improper feeding, largely a corn diet. before farrowing and unsuitable and insufficient quarters at farrowing time and after, difficulties that with care could be easily remedied. In addition to corn ration, some of which Is all right in its place. they recommend bran. shorts. oats and tankage The quarters should be dry and furnish protection from the weather

PACKERS AND COMMISSION MEN

FACkEHS ANU COMMiSSiON M FEN.
 A question that very vitally affects the pocketbook of dairymen and stock raisers all over the country has lately been vigorously debated by the live stock commission men and packers of Chicago and some other market cen ters of the west-this as to who shall stand the loss of cows and heifers con demned as a result of the postmortem government inspection, which is made to ascertain the presence of diseased conditions The packers with some col or of justice hold that they ought not to be compelled to pay for carcasses of which they can make little use, while the commission men aver the contention of the packers Is merely a to be able to postpone cash payments on all kinds of live stock until aft CT the postmortem inspection, which would clearly put the commission men In a very embarrassing position as re gards their patrons, who have hereto fore been paid for their stock immedi- ately upon delivery. If the difficulty W mals should never be placed aboard the cars by the stock raisers, but as long as shipment on the hoof contin- ues the problem cannot be solved in this way. The position the packers have taken, whether they are able to carry it in it's entirety or not, will re suit in a sitting process in the local shipping yards. In times gone by any thing that could stand on four feet and some things that couldn't were put aboard the cars, shipped to the pack ing houses and there in many cases worked up into foodstuff for the other fellow. But the recently enacted fed eral pure food jaw has changed all this, and the move the packers have made is simply an attempt to trace the evil back to its source.

SENSIBLE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

SENSIBLE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
 The Gubdirectors of a nearby town ship have taken a long step in the so- lution of the veXed problem of q scarcity of teachers for the rura! schools by raising wages from S29 per month for autumn and spring terms and S32 for winter terms to a uniform level of $S5. These directors are to be commended for their good sense and discrimination. They realize that the cost of living has been steadily increasing during a number of years past, while under the most favorable conditions the country schoolma'am can lay by only small portion of her earnings. Then, too, their action is to be commended because they believe that their children are worthy of as good instrNction as their farm animals are of proper care and rations. The scarcity of teachers over the country Is going to result in similar action by many other school directors.
