Should Sow More Grain.

The price of corn and oats is higher
now than we have known it in years
at this season Of the year. The indi-
cations are that the price will go much
higher before another crop is grown.
The price of No. mixed corn, in bulk
in car lots, Is now so cents per bushel
delivered at points in this section. This
Is for Western corn that Is inferior to
corn grown in this section. Oats is
correspondingly high and hard to buy
at quotations. Our lands are we'll
adapted to the growth of corn and
oats, and 1t is mystery why SO many
Of our farmers depend upon the west
for supply of grain for their farms
Farm labor is scarce, high and more
unsatisfactory than in years, and it
would seem this is the time for farm
ers to produce crops that require lit
tie labor, such as grain, at least
enough for home USE Many farmers
fail to make a good oat crop because
the land is not properly prepared and
fortified. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that oats will grow on any
land without being properly plowed,
narrowed or fertilized.-A. ]. Conner,
in Rich Square Times.

Doc Knew the Horses.

81 saw q curious illustration the
other day." says a business man, "of
the wonderful acuteness of scent pos.
sessed by the dog. Three or four car.
riages were waiting in front of a fash
ionable Broadway establishment when
out Of the door there came a fat poo
die, trotting leisureiy along. He rails.
ed his head and took a look at the line
of carriages The drivers were in a
little group chatting, so that no ear
riage had a human occupant. The
poodle went across the pavement,
shifted at the leg Of one Of the horses
and went on. Ere he reached the Sec
and carriage he was forced toward the
middle Of the sidewalk by two people
going in the other direction. He went
past the carriage door, smelled the
leg Of one Of the horses, then turned
back, and without hesitation, jumped
into the carriage, curled on one OF the
seats, and went to sleep.
"He had evidently lost his mistress
In the store, but he remembered the
carriage and identified It by the
horse."-st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Breeding and Feeding.

While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to fix type, the prac-
tice weakens vitality unless very
carefully followed. For this reason
closely inbred hogs are more suscep-
tible to chlora than those whose con-
situations have not been impaired by
the system. The straight corn diet
which many hogs receive from one
years end to the other also lessons vi
tality and the researchers of the Wis
eonsin Experiment Station have shown
that this is probably brought about by
actually retarding the development of
the vital organs. A minimum Of Ii.
breeding and varied diet, including
ample range, will therefore better en-
able the herd to resist the attacks of
disease.-Dr. Alexander.

Voice, and they are worthy of study
by every reader of The Progressive

Farm Notes.

Are you farming for profit or just
farming for living?
Look after the fences, and the gates,
supplying needed nails, staples, hinges
and posts.
Give a good hired man steady work,
good pay and good boss and the farm
labor problem is settled for that farm.
Clean and fumigate the hog houses,
have bedding in plenty, where It will
be handy to get; use enough and use
it often.
If the straw stack is the calves bed
room for the winter, be sure the sup
ports, whether poles or posts, are good
and strong, and plenty of room.
Unnecessary losses have no excuse
in any business, and poultrymen who
aspire to become masters of the bust
ness should try to prevent them.
Some of the old men who sold farms
and moved to town are disconnected.
1t is hard to shift the set ways Of six
ty years. Better keep little land.
The water vessel should be cleaned
every day, and fresh supply of water
given. f the fowls do not quickly re.
cover 1t will pay to destroy them.

derision on the owner than swiftnesa

Stop all leaks of barns, cribs, all the

that cold winter rains will not cause
discomfort to man or beast from
rain leaking in.
Too many helpers in the COW barn
is sometimes like too many cooks in

Muslin Windows In Barns.

The experiment of using muslin cur
tains in place of window glass which
has proved so successful in poultry
houses all over the country, is now be-
ing extended to dairy barns.
Experiments have shown that even
in the coolest weather the temperature
of the stable is lowered only two or
three degrees by the use of these cur
tain windows, while the barns actual.
ly have seemed very much warmer.
This result Is due to the fact that
the air is kept dry.
Where this plan has been adopted
the cattle have shown less evidence
of suffering from the cold and the at
tendants have admitted that the barns
have been more comfortable places in
which to work than when the glass
windows were in use. 1t is the excess
Of moisture in the abr which causes
the feeling OF dampness and chill
which prevails in many dairy barns.
1t is possible that the introduction
of a system of this kind will do much
10 prevent the spread OF tuberculosis
among cattle Poultrymen have found
that whereas under the old system of
using glass windows and keeping the
house as warm as possible fowls were
frequently afflicted with colds and SIM
liar troubles, where the muslin curtain
system has been adopted the birds are
much more free from such complaints,
and it is expected by advocates of the
new system that there will be similar
benefcent results in the case Of dairy
cattle.-Suburban Life.

Air-SIaked Lime.

Air-slaked lime is cheap and is one
Of the best materials that can be ap-
piled to prevent diseases and lice. 1t
will serve to make damp house dry
and destroys the germs of roup. The
floor, walls, roosts, nests and yards
may be freely busted with it. In the
runs Of little chicks 1t will destroy
gapes and prevent loss of chicks from
that cause. 1t is harmless and saves
labor because a few handfuls, used

otherwise be necessary,-Weekly Wit

tits only natural that there should
be all kinds of men in a camp-gar-
rulous, noisy men; sullen, morose
and retfcent men. Sometimes sick
ness or death reveals the fact that a
man who in camp is known as John
Smith really was given a name quite
different when he came into the
world, and perhaps sold his birthright
for drink, crime or for some other
reason. A camp is usually loyal,
though, and John Smith he remains

Is said that nine out of ten lumber
jacks are Incorporate, and 1t is Ger.
tain that the drink habit Is the pre-.
vailing evil. The very strictness with
which the liquor law is enforced dur.

to foster the desire, and in the spring
when released from the camp, the
majority of the men never get be-

1t Is said that the moral status Of

efforts, and the infusion Of number
of better class laborers. notably Fin
