Feeding experiments which have
been conducted show that an acre Of
good clover used as pasture will pro-
duce 400 pounds Of pork and an acre
of soy beans 600 pounds.
The interest which leading florists of
the country have in rare and choice
new varieties of flowers is well Illus
trated in the price Of $4,000 which
was recently asked for a new and rare
variety Of carnation.
A mans theory about early rising
before he retires Is a great deal more
creditable to him than his performance
the next morning when he is brought
face to face with the proposition Of
jumping out in the cold.
Fear, In the general acceptance of
the term, is an acquired and not a nat.
ural trait in little children If the lit
tie ones are not taught to be afraid of
the dark and threatened with confine-
ment in the dark where bogies will
get them, they will have no fear of it
whatever.
The beet pulp byproduct Of the Col
orado sugar factories Is fed to thou
sands of head Of sheep and cattle,
which in addition are given a ration
of alfalfa hay. The ration seems to be
one that proves excellent from the
standpoint Of growth as we'll as fat
production.
The brown tailed moth Is q pest that
the north Atlantic states. It has not
only defoliated orchard, but forest
trees as we'll, while 1t produces an in
tense irritation when brought in con-
tact with the human skim Vigorous
efforts are being put forth to check
the pest, but as yet without very sub
stantial results
In view Of several Inquiries relative
to the black locust and it's suitability
for post timber, we hope in an early |
installment Of these notes to have
somewhat extended article from the
state experiment station horticulturist
giving summary Of experience with
this variety Of tree through the north
ern states. Numerous inquiries are be-
ing made relative to the black locust in
different agricultural journals, and an
article Of the kind mentioned will be
both timely and valuable.
The fat producing capacity Of the |
buffalo and other range grasses is we'll |
Illustrated in the case of range fed |
heifers which have been placed on the
smaller markets Of the northwestern !
states during the past few months, 1t |
being almost impossible to distinguish
them from the carcasses Of the corn
fed steer hanging next to them. A
view of the quarters with the hide off !
explains very easily how they are able
to keep so plump and sleek looking on
so simple and apparently insufficient
ration.
With the rapid advance in the price
of camphor a new interest has been
aroused in the possibility Of growing
the tree in this country. DR.. Galloway,
one Of the specialists Of the department |
of agriculture, is authority for the
statement that conditions of soil and |
climate prevail in portions Of the Unit
ed States favorable to the growing Of
the camphor tree on commercial
scale. If success should attend the ef-
forts Of the department along this line,
another success will have been added |
to the achievements Of this practical
department of government work.
We know a mother perhaps some
would call her a crank, who has her
two little children sleep two or three
hours every day in baby cab on the
front porch and this through all kinds
of winter weather. She claims that |
her children know no such thing as a |
cold, while her neighbor across the !
street has two children who dare not |
stick their heads out Of doors for fear
of taking their death Of cold. The
fresh air treatment would seem to have
good sense on it's side, being in line
with the latest conclusions Of physi-
clans touching the benefits Of SUM-
shine and fresh air.
The rapid progress which has been
made along the line of scientific fo,-
estry since the opening Of the Cornell
school of forestry in 1898 is evidenced
