STEER CLEAR OF TRAPS.

Steer clear Of the thousand and one
schemes that are being doomed in
these days to catch the farmer.
What are some of them? Well.
wildcat mining projects. for one thing.
Every few days the mail will drop
at your door letters written In the
most fascinating way, telling you how
you can make your fortune just by the
turn of the wrist or the signing Of q
check. Perhaps some distinguished
man has sent your name in to the
company as being good man to take
hold of this scheme and push 1t among
your friends and neighbors. If you
will only do this you will never need
to work again as long as you live.
Another scheme IL the building of
railroads. Wonderful how easy 1t Is
to build railroads-on paper. The
newspapers not long ago gave par
ticulars of grand line that was pro-
jected half way across the continent.
1t was to reduce the time to almost
nothing. The line was to be about as
straight as an arrow. And 1t was all
so neatly worded that one had to be
pretty smart to see that 1t was an adj
vertisement at all. The only thing
that came to your mind was that
somehow or other you had got to have
some Of the stock of that company II
you had to borrow the money to pay
for 1t.
Now, these are all good things to
let alone. Burnt fingers smart, and
thousands of men all over the coun-
try can tell you just how that feels
The best way to do is just to sit still
a little while and see how these things
come out. If they are really good
for anything the chance will last; you
need not worry about that. But II
they are not, the less you have to dc
with them the better.
If you are tempted to buy stock in
any concern that promises unusual re-
turns that you may happen to see ad-
vertised in another paper, write to
the editor and ask him If he will
vouch for the honesty Of the promoters
and the stability Of the scheme itself
Then ask your banker about it and
consult your wife. If these three au-
thorities agree that it Is a good thing
1t may be a good thing-and 1t may
not
1t Is well to remember that good
farm land and permanent improve
ments, cattle, sheep or hogs are the
best investments farmer can get
into. He knows about these things
and safety lies in the business with
which one is the most familiar

POULTRY NOTES.

Many poultry writer's recommend
keeping hens only two years for lay
ing. They claim that after the hen
passes her second year that she Is not

known hens to do a very good bust
ness at egg production when they were
five years old.
The too fat theory" has been car.
ried to such extremes that 1t is used
to explain the cause for hens not lay.
ing, no matter what the real cause Is
Did you ever know real poor her
to be a good egg producer? Hens
may get too fat to lay eggs, and II
must be remembered that they also
get too poor to produce eggs.
Then we are told that hens lay egg.
until they get too fat to produce egg.
and SO they get broody. This theor,
is easily exploded by feeling the weigh
Of the broody hens.
1t probably costs 60 cents to raise
|pullet until she begins to lay eggs. I
she is kept only one year the cost O
raising Is added to the cost of on,
years egg production. If she is KEEP
two years only 80 cents is added t,
the annual cost of egg production I
she is kept three years only 20 cent

FEEDING PIGS IN DENMARK.

In Denmark the farmers maintain
several extensive cooperative bacon
factories and in that way keep in clost
touch with the methods of feeding.
They are very particular to make sal
able bacon and as they can follow the
pigs through the slaughter house they
have an excellent opportunity of hav-
ing faults in the product pointed out
by experts.
In this manner farmers have learned
many valuable lessons, so that they are
very we'll versed in the influence of diff
ferent feeds and rations on the quality
Iof the carcass. The seller Is entitled
to report on each lot Of pigs mar
keted, and If he has made any changes
from the rations previously used. he
can ascertain whether or not they are
desirable.
The following rations are used by
successful feeders: Ground barley,
cooked potatoes and skim milk; shorts
and skim milk; two parts of shorts,
two parts of ground barley, one part of
cornmeal and skim milk: two parts of
ground barley. one part shorts, one
part Of ground rye and skim milk: two
parts Of ground barley, one part of
ground rye; one part of wheat bran:
one part ground rye and skim milk;
two parts Of ground barley. one part
ground oats. one part cornmeal and
skim milk.
Cornmeal is fed with care especially
during warm weather: when fed in
small quantities with barley, shorts
oats and bran, combined with a liberal
allowance of skim milk. there are no
bad results. Some good feeders use
cornmeal to the extent Of one-half or
one-third of the grain ration during
the first three or four months, and
then omit it and finish with oats OF
similar feed.
Feeders are sometimes compelled to
use corn on account of the low price
of bacon. Ground rye to the extent OF
about one-third of the ration gives
good results but rye shorts are not sat
isfactory and are only used In small
quantities.. The best feeds are ground
barley, crushed oats and wheat shorts
Roots are fed during winter and soil
Ing crops during midsummer.

PROTECT Farm HEALTH
Improved Form of Earth Closet that
Can Be Built by Any Farmer.

INNE great disadvantage of life In
~ the country is the makeshift ar
rangements which often have to
serve In place of water-closet. 1t is
not alone the cost Of plumbing that
makes water-closets such a luxury, but
the cost of getting an adequate water
supply and putting in disposal sys-
tenn.
The substitute for the water-closet
Is too often the ordinary privy with
Its vault, which, whether it be tight
or leeching one. is always a source
of danger to nearby wells, and can
never be made anything but q nut
sance.
The earth closet, as everyone knows,
is a safe and efficient system, but ii
is usually badly managed and only
half taken care of. Improper mate
rails are used in 1t and 1t is altogether
Ia bother. A satisfactory earth closet
can be made. however. in the follow
ing manner:

WHAT PROTEIN REALLY IS.

Protein Is a most important ele-
ment of food to every farmer who
keeps any kind Of live stock and es-
pecially those who produce milk or
grow young animals.
1t Is an element Of food that can be
substituted, since it Is necessary in
order to produce the muscle and
nerves of the animal.
Protein may be used to certain
extent as substitute for the carbo-
ments of food, but the carbohydrates
cannot be used as substitutes for pro-
tein.
It Is the protein in the concentrates,
such as cotton seed meal, lint seed
meal tankage, etc, that makes them
such valuable feed stuffs
So much has been written on the
necessary protein and the value of the
concentrates as furnishers of this
most valuable element of food, that
they have raised in price so much
that farmers will have to rely to a
greater extent upon growing their own
protein.
This may be done by growing more
clover. alfalfa and cowpeas. Alfalfa
hay and cowpea hay are about equal
in value as furnishers Of protein If
we'll handled. and when well taken
care and are worth about the same ton
| for ton as wheat bran.
A little calculation and comparison
of prices and yields of alfalfa and
cowpea per acre will readily show the
economy Of growing protein on the
farm rather than buying it in the con.
centrates.
This is not all. The soil is improved
by the growing of crops SO far as
nitrogen contents is concerned. There
is much more nitrogen left in the sol
after crop Of clover, cowpeas OF al.
falfa is harvested than there was be.
fore the crop was grown.
4 The crop harvested is as profitable
the cereals. With most farmers i
for work performed as most any O.
will soon be matter of necessity t.
grow more protein on the farm in or
der to make success Of the business
