About Cow Testing.

Prof. Fraser Of the Illinois Expert
ment Station says that a complete
knowledge and mastery Of the dairy
business cannot be secured without
testing each COW. Many farmers and
dairymen think this testing Of the cows
is too much trouble, and do not want
to fuss around with it, but IL they
considered the profits to be realized
from a herd Of really good cows as
compared with n Of poor cows, or
even a mixed herd, they would Don see
that it really pays to "fuss" around
with the scales and Babcock test.
Where one cow will give good returns
for her feed and care there may be
another in the stall next to her that is
not paying her board, but is eating up
the profits from the paying COW. But
how is the owner to know this If he
does not test them? A pair Of scales
and a tester do not cost much, but they
pay big profits on the investment.

Seed Inspection Is Needed.

The need Of rigid inspection Of agri-
cultural seeds such as clover and alfal-
ia has beer again brought sharply to
the attention of the authorities Of the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College. DR.. o. M. Ball of the depart
ment of botany has repeatedly warned
farmers and planters against the dan
gers OF introducing highly pernicious
weeds into alfalfa and other fields
through impure agricultural seeds. 1t
has been pointed out that Russian this
tie, dodder, johnson grass and several
varieties of burr clover and melillotus
have been found growing in alfalfa
fields in various parts Of the State, and
they have been introduced solely
through impure alfalfa seed. Another
extremely noxious weed has made its
appearance in alfalfa fields in widely
separated parts of the State. This is
charlock or wild mustard.

Cultivation Of Potatoes.

Cultivation should commence just as
soon as the young plants begin to ap-
pear above the ground. The field may
be gone v e with a light harrow, or,
better still, with a weeder. This is n
cheap method Of cultivation, since a
wide space is covered. 1t is also effec-
tive in breaking any crust that may
have formed, in destroying small weeds
and leveling ridges left in planting.
AS soon as the rows can be seen the
cultivator should be used. If the
ground has become packed the first
cultivation may be deep and close to
the plants. Subsequent cultivation
should be frequent. The conservation
Of moisture by frequent tillage caEnot
be too strongly enforced. The old no.
ton that tillage must cease as 500 as
the blossom appears is wrong. 1t
should be continued as late in the sea-
son as the vines will permit. AS the
tops begin to spread out and cover the
space between the rows they partially
shade the soil and thus lessen the loss
Of moisture by evaporation.
The cultivator should be set as mar
row as the space between and keep 1t
covered with a loose mulch. Expert
ence and experiments favor nearly lev
ell cultivation. Excessive killing in
tensifes the injurious effects of dry
weather. The best cultivator is one
having a number of small teeth, SO that
it will leave the soil fine and COMPARE
lively level.
Agricultural Extension.
One method employed by the State
agricultural colleges Of reaching the
farm boys and girls Of the country is
through departments Of agricultural ex-
tension. Such departments have been
established at most Of the older col
leges and they are doing a vast amount
of good. The extension department of
Ohio is one worthy of the attention Of
the agricultural world, for through it's
monthly bulletins thousands Of chill
dren and teachers in the State have
been interested in farm education who
would otherwise have never heard Of
the college and what it is doing.

The Wood Famine Ahead.

The prediction Of Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot that there will be no
more wood in this country in twenty
years unless some action is taken by
the people Of the United States in pre-
serving and perDetsating the woodlands
now in existesSs should be an omi-
nous warning. Nearly every farm has
its W woodiot, but In many cases
this is being rapidly cleared out. It

ductive condition.

LOSSES ARE HEAVY
Men Interested in Lake Steamers
Meet Losses Aggregating
Millions of Dollars
ARE UNABLE TO PAY INTEREST

During the season Of 1907, twenty
eight steamers, all Of the bulk freighter
type were constructed at lake yards
for owners not previously engaged In
the business. These twenty eight ships
swelled the new tonnage added to the
lake fleet to a total unparalleled in
any previous year.
A table given by stakeholder Of
one of the corporations formed large
ly by Buffalo capitalists, to build q
5o0-foot freighter, gives an idea of
the loss which is likely to accrue to
the owners of each Of these twenty
eight vessels this year. In many cases
the loss may be larger. Few indeed
of the steamers have put in sixty days
Of actual service since April I, and
many paid crews while they waited
iii port for possible cargoes, thus in
creasing the total of expense without
any offset Of profit Even at this con
servative figure of $17 400 loss on each
vessel the total Of loss to the twenty
eight little corporations which made
the building of twenty eight steamers
Will reach the amazing figures of
$487.200.
The loss of $17,400 per steamer is
reached without including any interest
en- the actual cash investments made
BY the stockholders. The cost Of the
steamer used as an illustration was
approximately $4,000, Thus beside
the bonded Indebtedness, which en-
tered into the cost and on which in
terest must be paid, $4,000 Of capt
tai is reaping no return for it's own
ers. Likewise no estimate is made Of
the depreciation of the vessel while
it is lying idle at the docks.
The minimum wage for lake labor
is $50 per month. Taking 1900, less
tnan go per cent of the lake laborers
employed IN an ordinary season, as
the number not employed on the lakes
this year and estimating their loss for
five months at the minimum wage the
total amounts to $3,000,00O This is
figuring that there will be cargoes to
employ every boat on the lakes for
the period after Oct. l,
