SPECIALIZING IN STOCK.
Farmers Should Follow Lines in Which
They Will Have Best Success.

This is fast becoming an age of spe-
cializing The farm of few years ago
was supposed to produce about all
that was consumed. A great many
things were made then. too, that are
bought now. The change has been
coming on gradually, but now the dis
position is general to let the man who
is better fitted for doing or producing
one thing follow his line, while we
may follow another line, and the ex-
change is made through the regular
channels of trade.
The stockmen are taking up spe-
cializing to wonderful extent. A very
few years ago the stockman had a
few of all classes of stock. and each
class represented some of all ages.
To-day, we find more and more of the
special herds. The cattleman sticks
to a certain line, and II he raises for
the market he likes to have the bunch
all OF an age and size. 1t Is the same
with every other line of livestock.
After all that has been said Of having
a few of all kinds. then you will be
sure of having some of the right kind,
for stock does better to run all of an
age and size, and is easier cared for.

OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help to Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands of so-called az
ricultural papers published in the
United States, all OF more or less
merit. Yet few are all that they should
be. There Is an inconsistency about
them that invites careful study. While
they are supposed to represent the
best interests of the great class of
workers whom they gain support from
in the way of subscriptions, the ma
jority of them apparently work against
the progress of farming communities
by becoming the mediums, part of
the machinery, which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
1t is to be regretted that many of
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose of
circulating the advertisements of con-
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents of farming districts to the
detriment of the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large finan-
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see how injurious 1t
is to the interests of the farmers to
take away the surplus earnings which
represent the wealth of the commu-
nifty 1t requires but little observa-
ton and study to understand that to
a great extent farm values are de-
pendent upon the Importance Of the
nearby town, and that any system
that takes away its business, will re-
suit in decrease of farm values.
Such papers as advise the farmers to
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed to the up-building of indus
tries in agricultural districts are not
worthy of support.

Plan of Cover Feeder.

are adjusted; but as long as the cover
IL used on a hive. this feeder is al.
ways adjusted. There is no heat lost
by having to open the hive to add q
story to accommodate a feeder, or in
any other way by which most feeders
are used ---
To feed. 1t is simply necessary to
open the little door on one side of the
cover (the other side of the cover is
permanently closed), and shove in a
suitable dripping-pan of feed. A pan
which nearly fills the chamber will
hold about ten pounds of feed. The
crack shown in the lower wall of the
cover allows the bees access to feed;
and when the feeder is not In use the
pan may be showed little further
over, and the crack Is closed.
In cold weather the pan could be
taken out and thin cushion substi.
tuted, thus making warm cover.
One objection to this is that such a
cover would necessarily be rather ex.
pcnsive.

litical speakers address meetings
from the visitors enclosure. Rela-
tives from outside may visit their

ious life of the leper is not neglected.
There are six churches-Catholic,
Protestant and Mormon. The pastor
of the Mormon church Is leper The
larger number of the lepers are Cath

tional and moral lines.
The Baldwin Home for Men and
Boys has at present 1873 inmates. 1t is
the Sacred Heart. The Bishop Home
for Women and Girls, of which the Sis
tiers of st. Francis have control, shell

superior and the sisters Is marvellous.
All the nurses in the settlement are
Catholics, and in no other denomina-

needed for such a mission. They sell

ceive 500 month and sustenance.

the infants until such time as they
are old enough to be removed to the

is in contemplation. on Hawaii. where
training in agricultural pursuits will
be given, as well as common school
education. The expense of the leper
settlement with all its various
branches, for the year 1906, exceeded
the sum of $1S5,OOO.
With the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States our government was
brought face to face with the problem
of the leper, and, as result, there
will soon be established at Molokai a
United States leprosy investigation
station, with a skilled staff of physi-
clans who, with the aid of other dis
tinguished men of science. will make
every effort to solve the mystery OF
the dread disease. Plans for the new

Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awak-
ening to- the fact that the only way
the evils Of trusts can be combatted
is by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. 1t is nothing new. 1t was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders Of our government to sound
the clarion Of Liberty from the sum-
NIT of Bunker Hill. Then. 1t was the
forcing Of people dependent on an
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for necessaries OF life To-
day 1t is one class Of people of a ma
ton, and the greatest nation on earth,
to compel the other classes to pay un-
just tribute In commercial way. The
wrong was righted by blood in the
first case; the wrong can be righted
in the present case by the people with
out resorting to serious trouble, by
merely exercising their prerogatives
and the means that lie in their power
to prevent the concentration of great
wealth in the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings at
home. 1t is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist in building up the great
combines. the great trusts, which are
manipulated to the deteriment of the
people of the country at large. 1t
does not require special legislation for
the farmer to buy -four made in his
home mill; to use other products made
In his county or state, or to patronize
the merchants OF his home town.

STOCK NOTES.

A badly-shod horse rs one Irar VII,
perform his work with difficulty.
The COW is machine for convert
ing food into milk, and the profits
from her work are in proportion to her
digestive and assimilative powers.
With an increasing demand for
horses on the farms where they are
raised there will be less horses to sell
and consequently those sold will COM
mand higher price. Keep on raising
good draft colts.
The future brood SOW should show
every indication of being able to prop
eriy nourish her litter. This quality is
evidenced by the development of ten
or twelve well-formed teats. This is
quite an important point.
Before building the barn or hog
house sit down and calculate where it
can be placed, and how planned to be
the most convenient. The average
farmer shortens his life fourth by
taking unnecessary steps around the
barn and feed lots.

MITES IN POULTRY HOUSES.
Pest Can Only Be Kept Out by Clean
Iiness and Spraying the Roosts.

An interesting bulletin has been Is
sued by the state entomologist OF
Minnesota In which the author dis.
cusses the mite as found in the poultry
house. The following extract from
Entomolgist Washburn's bulletin will
interest our readers:
These nocturnal blood suckers, not
true lice, nor even insects, since they
belong to the class Arachnida, are
found during the daytime on the under
side of the roosts and elsewhere in a
neglected henhouse.
THE mites, just visible to the naked
eye, have eight legs when adult. and
are whitish, brownish or red, depend
ing somewhat upon the time elapsing
since the last meal.
They breed in nests, in hen manure
and in cracks and crevices in the dirt
of neglected henhouses.
"Roosting fowls are attacked at
night, and If these parasites are very
abundant serious results follow. In or
binary numbers even, they prevent
fowls from sleeping. Sitting hens, as
well known, are sometimes forced to
abandon their nests because of the
presence of these pests.
Cleanliness is all-important. If
roosts rest in sockets. from which
they can be lifted, allowing the ver-
min to gather in those places to be
killed, strong point is gained.
The writer has been in the habit
of spraying the roosts with strong
kerosene emulsion, taking particular
pains to drench the under side of the
same and all cracks and crevices in
the interior of the house. Kerosene
alone will accomplish the same re-
suits.
This treatment was followed by a
thorough embarrassing. These pre-
cautions and the removal of all drop
pings should be resorted to frequent
ly to insure exemption from this pest.
"On account of these mites it is a
bad plan to keep fowls in close prox-
unity to other stock; hens, for in
stance, should not be kept in the same
building as horses. nor should the
hen house be built against the BARI
for the same reason.
Nests intended for sitting hens
should be most carefully prepared in
such a way as to discourage the pres
ence of this parasite.
The entomologist has used ashes
or a mixture of lime and ashes as a
basis upon which to place hay or
straw for the nest and has scattered
insect powder among the eggs and lit
ter in the nests from time to time. If
he had reason to suspect the presence
of this mite

A FEW HOG ooN'rs.
Do the Don'ts II You Would Have
Success in Raising Pigs.

Don't keep diseased hogs with the
rest of the herd Most diseases com
mon to hogs are contagious, especial
ly cholera.
Don't let your feed lot get foul. A
hog as well as other animals does bet
ter when he has clean eating and
sleeping place.
Don't expect to raise thrifty pigs
by feeding the sows nothing but corn.
Plenty of Stops are essential to the
growth of the pigs.
Don't let your sows and pigs sleep
at old straw ricks unless you want
them to die with the cholera or some
other disease.
Don't let your shoats run all over
the farm. A few dollars spent in wire
will save you much worry and keep
your meadows and growing crops
from injury.
Don't let your pigs root up the
meadows and pastures. A few hog
rings are cheaper than a lot of tim
othy and blue grass which would be
destroyed.
Don't let your sows run together
until narrowing time. Cold nights
they will pile up together and may
cause the loss of their pigs. 1t is best
to separate them a month before.
Don't fail to give your hogs plenty
of ashes and salt. II you have an
old ash bank about the place, throw
1t into the pen and salt 1t good. The
hogs will dispose of 1t to their ad-
vantage.
Don't keep a chicken-eating SOW just
because nhe raises large filters of
pigs, SAYS Farmers Voice. She will
soon et her worth in chickens. Put
her in me fattening pen and let her
go on de market as soon as post

THE MAN ON THE FARM.
Fine Tribute to AsricuIturists Made
by Gov. Hughes. /.

Gov Hughes, of New York, makes
this appeal for the country:
when you get out where a man
has little elbow room and chance
to develop, he has thoughts Of his
own. His thinking is not supplied to
him every night and every morning,
and he Is less of machine and more
of man, so that do not think that
the farmers need to be looked upon
or want to be looked upon as depend
ents Of the state. They do not come
to the state government asking aims.
They are self-reliant, they are intelli-
gent. What we want in connection
with agriculture Is what we want In
connection with every other field OF
noble effort.
1--WE want training, we want intelli-
gence, we want scientific method. we
want direction. we want the way
shown, and then the man can walk In
1t. There Is no reason why the same
care and attention and skill and sci
entific consideration should not be de-
voted to agriculture as to industry and
the technical trades.
1.-The men who are running away
from the farms too frequently make
mistake, and some day In New York
and the day Is rapidly approaching
our young men in larger numbers
will wake up to the fact that they
have pretty good chance on the
farm, and that they may be to a great
er degree Independent and happy In
life II they stay where their happy
lots were cast in connection with
their fathers farm or another which
they may be able to procure. Leg:

TO THE FARMER-sor.
His Chances Are Best In HIs Homo
Town Rather Than In the Big City.

My boy, the farm Is all right Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you, its life too
much of humdrum, and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
Of the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands Of 9TH
ers just like you, and with just such
ideas. They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope, and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded;
have won laurels in the professional
field, in business. in craftsmanship:
but the few who have succeeded thus
are so small in number compared to
the army of failures that there is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for life time. The farmer Is surely
the most independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a greater re-
ward for his labors. is his own man.
ager, and II he will strive diligently
can aspire to a place in the public es-
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
We're you a resident of the city, there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the pillow, or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled to follow.
and how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is mere subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted In making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself.
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest comes 1t en-
ables him to take 1t.
Cities are overcrowded with clerk
help. An advertisement inserted in
any daily paper for clerk to fill any
position will bring hundreds of re-
sponses. The array Of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con-
ditions is always large. OF late years
large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize that the
farm offers more permanency Of occu-
patton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city can possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter well, and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You will be very likely to con-
clude that the farm is good enough
place for you, and that your own lit
tie home town is preferable to the
over-crowded city. Remember that
your greatest interests center in
what you call your home town." Do
all you can to assist in its improve
ment, and make it better business
place. d. NJ CARR.
