agricultural processes there. 1t ls a

hurry Of America we have gone from
one soil to another with our few crops,
taking out and never giving back. We

an honor to be farmers, or, IL we have

TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE
Europe in Sad Straits with Horde of
Returning Immigrants.

1t is curious commentary on the
economic conditions Of the old world
that the turn in the tide of American
immigration is causing serious trouble
In Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden
and Norway. If the Industrial condi-
tions Of the United States of America
threaten to be bad, they are infinitely
worse In the countries named. Italy
complains the loudest because the sit
uation there Is the most serious. Her
returning hordes do not bring suffi.
Client money to support them more than
few weeks at most, while many land
practically penniless. The authorities
there confess themselves unable to deal
with the problem.
The Germans, however, are much
better provided with money on an av-
erage than the Italians. Business con-
ditions In Sweden and Norway are so
bad this unexpected influx is truly ap-
palling and much distress Is Inevitable
In the severe northern winter.

Prices for milk, cream and butter ar
high, very high for the time of the year,
and may 80 higher and continue high
through the winter. This prospect
should encourage farmers to do the
best possible for their cows to keep up
a good flow of milk. Keeping the cows
In the stable on cool nights and feeding
to the most profitable point or Limit
should be practced.
Do not undertake to winter more
stock than can be well kept, as there
is no profit In this. Use plenty Of bed
ding so that the cows may be kept
clean. Feed the best combination of
grains, market cost considered, for the
production Of milk along with the well
cured corn fodder, silage and good hay,
advises American Cultivator. Regu-
larity In all of the work is also nee.

The Bull.

No man can afford to head his herd
with scrub bull. The blood Is an i'm
portant item, though not the whole
thing. Granted that you see the ad-
Visibility of pure bred sire, the next
question Is how to care for him. II
you paid 500 to $500 for bull you
naturally want to give him such care
as to keep him In his prime as long as
possible. 1t Is best to have a stall or
shed for the bull where he will be sep
arated from the herd. Give him yard
large enough SO that the confinement
VIII not be too severe, and he sure to
have his yard surrounded by a bull
;ence. 1t Is as important to keep people
out OF the bull pen as 1t Is to keep the
bull In. If possible, 1t is an excellent
thing to give him pasture If you can
turn him out without having him run
with the mixers. Often there Is pas
ture for the calves or young stock that
can be used. Keep him In good condi-
ton, but do not keep him fat enough
Tor the show ring all the year round.
1t doesn't pay. Always give him kind
treatment, but do not let him become

Steer Feeding.

The Pennsylvania Station has made
some interesting experiments on the
value of shelter for steers being fed.
Ii was found that if the lots were kept
dry, shelter was not always necessary.
Shelter has very little effect upon the

treme weather.
In this climate 1t Is seldom that the
weather is too cold for steers on full
feed outdoors, provided they are kept
In dry qusrters and out of strong
winds.
1t Is very essential for fatten!ng

Burning Ont stump..

The following method of dlsposlng of
large stumps is very efficacious and
labor-saving. Whether 1t would be ap-
plicable to small hardwood stumps |
do not know, but 1t is worth trial.
The principle is the same as In burning
charcoal, and l presume would apply
to any wood that would make charcoal.
To clear land of large stumps, dig a
falr-sized hole down by side of stump
and build a fire of pieces of good fire
wood, laid snugly against the stump.
Gradually cover the fire with soil, and
keep covered; If well started and kept
covered by occasionally throwing more
soil on where it is likely to break out,
the fire will continue burning until
the whole of the stump Is burned into
charcoal. On some of our large fir
stumps, 10 or IL feet across, the lire
will burn two months or more. and fol-
low roots down 10 or Is feet under.
