Department Finances.
The amount estimated for the fs-
cal year ending June 80, 1909, In the
regular appropriation bill is $685.
351, which includes $4,000 for agri-
cultural experiment stations. This is
an apparent increase of $1,450, O6a, or
1873 per cent; but the actual increase
is only a little over 100000. or Sc
per cent, since the income OF the for
est service from sales of timber, ETC.,
heretofore used for maintenance of the
reserves, is now required by law to be
deposited in the treasury.
During the fiscal year 1907, the con-
gressional committee on expenditures
in the department of agriculture care
fully investigated the expenditures
for the preceding fiscal year. All the
higher officials of the department APP
peared before the committee and ex-
planned in detail the character and OBJ
ject of the various lines of department
work. 1t is gratifying to state that
every penny of the appropriation was
properly accounted for, and the work
and discipline of Tie department re-
ceived high commentator. AS one
result of the investigation, 1t was
shown that the value to the country of
the work done by the department is,
nearly a quarter Of a billion dollars
every year.

Bad Condition May Be Wrought
Most Easily.
The fallacy of the opinion, which is
entertained more or less largely by
the general public, that all spring Wa
ter is pure and furnishes the best OF
drinking water, is illustrated by condl-
tons which existed at MeadVille, Pa,
as described in the report of the wa
ter department for the year 1906-1907,
and which We're remedied with COM.
mendable promptness. The water
supply of that city was derived Very
largely from wells sunk in gravel beds
at the foot of a mountain. AuouE
20,000,000 gallons per year, however,
as determined by meter measure
nentS, was obtained from two
springs, one of which is owned by the
city and the other leased at a rental
of $25 a year. These springs are at
such an elevation that they dis
charged by gravity into the distribu-
ton system. Last year bacteriolog
from the wells and from. each of the
springs showed the first to be remark
ably free from bacteria, but water
from each of the springs was found
to contain colon bacili In as small
amounts as tWc ubic centtmeters.
Both springs issue from the base OF
a thick sandstone layer which covers
all of the top of the hill above them.
This sandstone is very coarse and
much assured. The watershed is
given up largely to pastures, and bur
few feet of earth lies between the
surface and tn. rock. The porus ma
ture of the -oci. is indicated by the
fact that the Working of quarry
some distance FROM one of the springs
resulted in the m1ddying of this
spring after q heavy rain. Certain
fields On the watershed were unde-
cultivation and had undoubtedly beer
heavily MANFRED, possibly with out
house material There are also three
houses with barns a-.d outhouses lo-
Gated on the area from which one OF
the springs received its water. The
probability Of the pollution OF the
springs from these sources is further
indicated by tne analyses. certain OF
which, after a week or more of dry
weather, showed 10 bacteria per cubic
centimeter from one spring and %
from another; whereas analyses made
three days later, after heavy shower,
showed 1000 bacteria from the first
and 1900 from the second, both con-
tanning colon bacilli As soon as
these conditions were ascertained, the
flow o. these springs was cut or from
tie public supply. The city engineer
estimates, from the cost Of pumping
from the wells last year, that tn
amount furnished by the springs cou'
be pumped for $71.s0 per year, So
that, fortunately, the loss to the city
from the abandonment OF these
springs is practically Insignificant

Wealth production On farms in
1907, $7,412,000;000, transcribed the
high record of 1906, which was Itself
much above the highest amount be
fore reached. In arriving at the to
tai the farm products Of the year are
estimated in value for every detail
presented by the census and at that
point in production at which they &C
quire commercial value.
The value of the farm products OF
1907 was 10 per cent greater than
that of 1906, II per cent over 1905, 20
per cent over 1904, % per cent over
1903, and 81 per cent over 1899.
A simple series Of index numbers
shows the progressive movement OF
wealth production by the farmer.
The value of the products in 1899 be
ing taken at 100, the value for 1903
standss at 125, for 1894 at 131, for
1905 at 1874, for 1895 at 143, and fur
1907 at 157.
During the last nine years wealth
estimated as above explained was
created, on farms to the fabulous
amount of $4,000, 0O0, 900.
Groups Of Products.
Besides the crops, there were, farm
dairy products in 1907 which aearly
reached $500, 0a9, 900. The price of
butter increased 4a4 cents a pound
over 1906 and Of milk three-foaEths Of
a cent a gallon.
More than s600,G00,000 must be re-
garded as the value of the poultry and
eggs produced on farms in 1907. The
amount may easily have been larger.
This industry has advanced at such
a rapid rate that no arithmetic
can keep up with it. The farm
price of eggs In 1899 was 11.15 cents
per dozen as an average for the
United States; in 1903, 12.27 cents; in
1904, 172 cents; in 1905. 1877 cents:
in 1906, IL cents. and In 1907. 1872
cents.
Dairy, Poultry and Livestock.
Dressed poultry In New York sold
for 1918 cents per pound Wholesale In
1889. for 1927 cetns In 1903. for 1887
cents In 1904. for 1886 cents In 1905.
for 1872 cents In 1906. and for 14.S
in 1907.
The animals sold from farms and
slaughtered on them in 1907 were
worth about s1.27O, 900, 900.

able than any crop except corn, and

Washington, Dec. lit is difficult
to express in dollars the value of the
FORK of the department of agriculture

ton, but an attempt to do SO was
made last winter for the committee

penditures in the department of agri-
culture, which made a total of $685.
100000. Fundamentally the work of
the department is concerned with the
| production OF wealth, as by increasing
a crop yield per acre by plant breed
ing; or the presery alton OF wealth, as
by suppressing insect and fungous
pests; or by enabling farmers to
make a fair sale of their products, as
by promoting cooperative selling or
by giving to the public information of
the size of a crop in order that de-
mand may be fairly adjusted to sup

The above declaration is introduce

agriculture submitted yesterday by
Secretary James H. Wilson.
Amazing Figures.
According to the report corn Is the
chief OF crops and exceeds every
national prosperity. 1t is a human
food and more especially a livestock
feed, with striking results. 1t is one
of the great motive powers in the
food of an energetic age. The starch
of corn becomes the fat of the hog
and the finish" of the steer. No
meat products are so much in demand
in international trade as animal fats
and oils. The value of these is more
than one-half of the value of all exports
to Germany, Italy, and to Norway and
Sweden; from two-thirds to four
fifths of these exports to France, and
nine-tenths of these exports to Austria.
Hungary, Denmark, and the Neither
lands. There have been three larger
corn crops-those of 1899 1905, and
1906. In value the corn crop of this
year is much above the high-Water
mark of 1906. On the assumption
that the crop will be sold by farmers
at an average price not below the
present one, it's value is estimated to
be $3.50, 100000 or 26 per cent above
the average value Of tie previous
five crops. Four crops before had ex-
ceeded one billion dollars in value.
The farm value of the other crops
are estimated as follows:

The modern mathematician has hg-
ured out that the low-headed tree
costs far less to care for and gives as
good general results, though its fruit
may not be SO highly colored. It is
easy to trim, for the trimmer can
reach about all the limbs from the
ground. It is easy to spray, and less
spraying material is thrown away
than in the case of the taller tree. II
costs little to gather its fruit, and the
fruit is less bruised when gathered.

Whether the heads OF apple trees
efsuld be compact or sparsely formed
depends to some extent on the local.
ity in which the trees are grown.
There arc lands Of sunshine and
there are lands OF cloudy skies. In
the states where much cloudy weather
exists during the growing season it is
necessary for the trees to catch as
much sunshine as possible, for the
r!pening of the fruit and especially for
Its coloring. In some of the states it
Is advisable to .prune severely and
thin out the branches to make it DOS
eible for the sun to get at the fruit.
That condition is true of parts Of New
Nngland and parts of the Pacific
states toward the northwest. Even
the eastern part of the United
states 1t pays to keep the heads Of
apple trees fairly we'll thinned out.

little or no trimming Of the limbs.
The question of high and low heads
is generally settled In favor Of low
heads, especially in the western
states where the wind blows with
great force. The low heads protect
the fruit from being switched of and
where the trees are close together the
wind that blows upon an orchard is
detected upward by the thick, low
heads, while If the heads are high it
passes under the trees and through
them to great extent. This greatly
increases the danger Of the trees be.
Ing broken by the wind.
There was time when the whole
sentiment was in favor Of high headed
trees, says Farmers Review. The
farmers wanted enough room under
the trees SO they could plow about
them and drive about them easily
with the farm team and with the farm
implements. For several generations.
therefore, the farmers planted their
trees so they could use the ground for
gardening. Those that remember the
old New England orchards remember
the tall-trunked trees. some Of them
