POOR GOODS, CHEAP PREMIUMS.
How Money 10 Sometimes squandesed
In Patronizino Prize-Packase
Concerns.

The economical housewife Is a
blessing. She who will watch the
pennies and dimes can greatly assist
her husband in accommodating money
for use during days of adversely.
Quite often women through their anx-
fety to assist in saving, and not having
training along business lines. make
foolish expenditures. How often do
we find women in the country towns
and districts engaged in buying soaps.
spices. teas and coffees from some
club-order concern with a view Of get
ting cheap premiums that are offer
ed with each lot of goods? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as we'll as men should remember that
there is never anything of value given
without an equitable compensation,
and when purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
nous. You cannot get something for
nothing. II you desire to purchase
80 or $40 worth Of groceries, the best
place to buy them is at some re-
sponsible grocery establishment in
your own town. You can see what
you are getting. and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn them. When you get premium
with a lot of soaps or spices or ex-
tracts. You will flnd that while the
goods may appear all right, there is a
great chance of fraud that you little
look for. The bars of soap will be
of light weight, poorly dried. made of
cheaper materials. and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark. and the extracts synthetic, never
made from fruit favors. but out Of the
dirty-looking coal-tar. a by-product of
gas-manufacturing. and even the teas
and coffees will be of the poorest kind
and doctored up to look well. Then
how about the premiums? You will
find that they, too. are of the cheapest
class. and could be purchased at the
local store for half what they are
represented to be worth. Women are
only doing their duty in trying to as
sist their husbands, but too often they
waste money by patronizing premium
and club concerns that operate from
distant cities in small towns and ru-
raj communities.

ROOTS FOR FARM ANIMALS.
They Have Positive Value az Feed
ing Ration for All Live Stock.

AS part of the daily ration, It is
stated that roots have a decided value
for all farm animals. Some Cornell
experiments call attention to the fact
that their effect is tonic as well as
nutritive and that breeders OF farm
animals for exhibition purposes find
roots invaluable"
Roots should not be fed alone, as
they carry too much water A root
feed may vary from rs to SO pounds
per day per thousand pounds Of ami
NAL.
Do turnips and rutabags impart a
flavor to milk? 1t is claimed not, II
they are fed just after milking, and
IL no roots are in the milking room at
the time of milking
greater average yield OF dry mat
ter per acre may be obtained from
mangels. half-sugar mangels, sugar
beets and rutabagas than from an av-
erage yield Of corn. While 1t costs
somewhat more to produce this dry
matter in roots than in corn, yet 1t is
the consensus of opinion that the
higher digestibility of roots and their
greater relish more than offsets this.
Rutabagas produce profitable
yields and are well-adapted to early
feeding. and are particularly good for
hogs. sheep and cattle Carrots and
parsnips. while not yielding 80 heavi-
ly. are well thought Of as continental
foods for horses
The Cornell station says that in the
search for good succulent feeds for
live stock. the cabbage should not be
overlooked. AS high as so tons Of
cabbage per acre has been grown at
Cornell. yielding nearly four tons Of
dry matter and containing one ton of
heterogeneous matter.

Two Millions Of the Animals and Two
Fifths Are Angoras.

Washington.-In the United States
there are at present. it is estimated,
about 100000 goats. Nearly two
fifths of these are Angoras. The rest
are of various imported breeds. cross
breeds and mongrel mixtures. Many
American farmers keep a few goats
with their sheep. 1t being we'll

to worrying sheep will not SO readily
modest flock containing a goat or
two.
The climate and soil of most of the
states of the union are well fitted for
the raising of goats, and as a goat
costs for proper maintenance only
about one-eighth as much as a COW
and yields a surprising number and
amount of products there is little
doubt that competent goat-raising In
this country especially in the vicini
ty Of large cities, would prove exceed
ingly remunerative.

Some of the bottling plants and
condensing factories make. a rule that
the people that deliver milk to them
must cover the cans with blankets to
keep out the dust. The dust in the
milk is always a disturbing factor
The little particles of dust that fly in
the air are frequently the resting
places Of the germs of various kinds
OF ferments. When the dust particles

germs with them, and the milk is a
suitable medium for their develop
ment The grains of dust are SO inf
nitely small that no cover fits tight

wind blows Tactic acid ferments are

GOATS IN THE UNITED STATES

The chief things to be remembered
in this connection are that good
breeds are essential to success and
that although the goat will thrive al
most anywhere and stand any amount
of cold. 1t does best on dry land and
when kept reasonably warm.
Most people have the idea that the
goat, to do well, must be allowed to
run more or less wild and be always
kept in the open air AS a matter OF
fact. 1t adapts itself admirably TO farm
life and gives its best results wher
properly fed and stabbed. 1t soon be-
comes much attached to those who
look after It and will follow its keeper
about simply for the pleasure of being
with him.

INTENSIVE FARMING.
Il 10 Neither an impossibility or an
Absurdity.

Intensive farming is a much-neg-
fected art says Farm and Preside
Some men think 1t an impossibility!
others, an absurdity. But in fact both
are wrong. for 1t is a reality. The
day of nmitless acres and endless for
ests has gone. 1t is unfortunate that
the earth doesn't grow with its popu-
lation; but 1t doesn't, and this fact
puts us face to face with the problem
of how to get the most out OF our
land. AS population increases farms
must necessarily grow smaller. Some
farmers are making more from ten
acres than others make from a humid
red acres. What a man can get from
his farm depends a good deal on the
farm, but a good deal more upon the
farmer.
Many market gardeners and fruit
growers utilize every square foot of
available space. and get large crops
and big prices. The close, personal
attention they give their land and
crops shows in the results. This is
In direct contrast to the belief which
30 many farmers have that the less
men they have working for them, the
more they save. Land needs to be
carefully cultivated and looked after
to give best results. Not enough labor
is more of waste than too much labor,
for besides the loss on the crops there
is the loss caused by neglecting the
land.
Intensive farming never Injuries the
land, but on the contrary improves It
through close cultivation. II the men
of this country would run their farms
on the intensive plan. they would not
only largely increase their incomes,
but vastly improve their farms.

PLANNING A FARmsrEAo.
Some Suggestions for the Locating OF
the Farm Buildings.

The accompanying plan may prove
suggestive and helpful to one who de-
sires to locate the farm buildings most
advantageously. In 1t the buildings are
placed in a row 800 feet back Of the
front line of the house. This will take
them far enough back to prevent
smells or unpleasant sounds reaching
the home and yet make them near
enough for convenient reach. Placing
them in line so feet distant from each
other nearest the grove we would put
the main cattle barn. with small
concerted feedlot back Of 1t, and a
grass paddock that will never be trod-
den into mud at the rear of that. Then

Be booster" for your home town.
By patronizing other than local insti-

that is likely to fly back and do you
injury when you least expect it. No

dent of a community. do your part
towards assisting it to greater
progress.

Those who are opposed to the evils
of capital concentration, the building
up Of trusts that work against the In
terests of the masses, should consider
the fact that any and every system
of business that depletes a section OF
the country of the wealth it produces
strengthens the system of business
and financial concentration. One of
the most baneful systems that at the
present is working against the inter
ests of the smaller cities and towns,
and is the greatest medium of drain
ing wealth from agricultural communi-
ties. is the mail-order plan of doing
business. From some rural towns
from 40 to so per cent. of the trade
goes to foreign concerns. II this trade
were confined to the home town, its
business would be doubled, employ
ment given to twice as many people:
the profits accruing from mercantile
business would seek local investment.
and within a few years the population
of the town would be more than dou-
bled. and all living within the district
would be benefited.
Every kind and class of goods have
a real value, and this value is based
upon the cost of the raw material, the
price of the labor in producing it. and
the cost of distribution. Whenever
there are big bargains offered in any
line. and goods offered below value"
be careful and see that you are not
getting an inferior article.
While the farmer may receive
dozen papers from the large cities, he
invariably reads his local paper. 1t
is to the interest of the farmer as well
as the merchant that the latter use
its columns freely to tell of the latest
prices, goods freshly received. etc.
The farmer wants to buy. and the
merchants want to sell, and the farm
err will buy when and where he can
save money. The merchant who lets
business go away from his town
through lack of advertising rightly is
not very enterprising business man.
1t is well to be on guard when deal
ing with Inherent agents. sellers Of
groceries, carriages. machinery. pat
ent rights, etc. 1t is a pretty good idea
to never take grab-bag chance when
you wish to buy an article. See what
you are purchasing before paying for
1t.
1t should be the aim of every owner
Of land to help build up the home
town, for by so doing he assists him
