In these days. when it is difficult and
at times well nigh impossible to get
the help needed at husking time, the
hog raiser has an additional incentive
for hogging down his corn. Instead of
this being slipshod and unbusiness-
like procedure. it has been determined
in few tests conducted by the Min
nesota experiment station that hogs
fed in this way gained in flesh much
more rapidly than like bunch kept
in a feed lot and having the corn pick
ed and thrown to them. Where the
fields are properly fenced and there is
any money at all in the feeding of corn
the experiment would seem to be well
worth making.

PROGRESS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
One of the leading gasoline traction
engine manufacturers of the country
has within the past eighteen months
shipped several twenty-five horsepow-
er tractors to the Philippine Islands
for use in blowing on the sugar planta
lions. 1t seems that one of the results

cause or another, with the result that
the natives were left strapped without
means to prepare their land for the
sugar cane crop. The traction en-
gines in question, which are adapted
also to the burning CO alcohol, were
bought by Uncle Sam, who did the
blowing work, assessed the cost on
the crops grown and collected it as
soon as they were harvested. The
work of tilling was done by hand. In
this way the Filipinos continued their
agriculture and have been kept from
starvation

While the state of Iowa is leader
in many commendable agricultural
lines, she falls down badly when it
comes to a utilization of the vast
amount of roughage which grows to
maturity every year in her, 100000
acres of cornfelds. While it has
been found that ton of well cured
corn fodder contains as much nutritive
value as a ton of timothy hay, it Is
estimated that up to the present not
more than 5 per cent Of this vast
amount of fodder is cut and utilized
annually in the most effective way. A
radical reformation must be forthcom-
ing If Iowa is to live up to her agri-
cultural opportunities.

Experiments which have been con-
Quoted by the department Of agricul-

there will be 500 cubic feet OF air
space for each animal. It should have
inlets and outlets for air, but the ven
tilation should be so arranged that

GIVE HER A LIFT.

There is probably no Improvement
that can be made in the farm kitchen
that will tend to simplify the work Of
the good housewife more than laying
over the worn and soft floor a good
quality of linoleum. From the very
nature Of things a good deal of mud
and dirt Of one kind and another is
bound to be tracked into the kitchen.
and this means a whole lot Of back
breaking work If it has to be scrubbed
out of the grain of a soft pine or ash
floor If linoleum Is on the floor this
dirt docs not so beyond the surface
and as result is mopped up easily.
Cut the linoleum and lay it without
lacking ut joints or edges. as it will lie
perfectly flat as 1t is. You fellow
there. get that iinoleum, as indicated
and let the good wife put the time that
she has spent in scrubbing that porous
old floor in sitting in an easy chair
reading a book or magazine. She will
appreciate your thoughtfulness In az
doing and will doubtless live Longer
and be happier for 1t.

HIS BUTTER IS STRONG.

A reader of these notes living near
Three Bridges, N. j., writes inquiring
what he should do to keep his butter
from getting strong after he has kept
it two or three days. He says it seems
to be good and sweet shortly after be-
ing churned and worked, but deteri-
crates rapidly in quality. There are so
many things that might tend to pro-
duce this condition in butter that it is
hard to give definite, helpful advice
without knowing somewhat more about
the conditions under which this but
ter is produced. Strong butter may be
the result of weeds which cows eat in
pasture or manure which they get in
the yard, Of odors which the milk may
derive from standing in the stable or
from vegetables or other articles Of
food in cellar, refrigerator or milk
house. If a separator is used and is
not properly scalded and cleansed each
time accumulated filth in this place
might be the direct cause Of the strong
butter, which, though sweet at first,
would soon be contaminated by the
rapid increase Of filth bacteria. Some
times COWS far along in their milking
period give milk from which it is well
nigh impossible to produce good but
ter. Quite often smelling the milk in
the pail will enable one to locate the
'foff" cow. A somewhat more common
cause of strong butter is due to allow
ing the cream to become too sour or
ripe before it is churned. Other things
being equal, the sooner cream is churn-
ed after it is separated the sweeter the
butter will be- It is well to remember
also that the very best butter will be-
come strong if exposed any length of
time to the light and air. This sug-
gests the necessity Of packing it in
clean and scalded vessels or tubs as
soon as made, covering properly and
storing In the coolest as well as the
sweetest and cleanest place available.
where 1t cannot be contaminated by
doors from other substances. In max
ing prime butter cleanliness is the
most essential thing-in the care Of the
COWS and their food. the handling Of
the milk and utensils and in the max
ing and packing Of the butter. Care
lessness in this respect in any step Of
the process will result I'm an inferior
butter quality. Every buttermaker
should be in possession of a leaf1et
published by the dairy division of the
bureau of animal industry Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture at
Washington entitled "Twenty Dairy
Suggestions With Special Reference to
Sanitation" which may be had by
making application to the department. !
1t would be impossible to cover the
whole buttermaking process in short
article, yet some of the above sugges-
lions may cover our friends case.

One Of the uses to which a gasoline
engine may be put was nicely illus
trated during the recent extensive
drought. In the many weeks of dry
weather there was often a dearth of
breezes to turn the windmill. with the
result that this work had to be done
by hand Or the stock went short on
water In such cases a two or three
horsepower gasoline engine which
might have been called into service
would have done the pumping at a
slight expense and saved whole lot
of hard work for the man and thirst
on the part of the beast. When not
used for pumping such an engine could
be used for turning the separator,
Smelling and grinding corn, running the
churn, saving wood and for other
purposes. The more the merits Of re-
liable engines of this type are put to
the test the more highly are they
PSized.

Growers Of potatoes on a semicom-

from the inroads Of bugs and blight
this year, which bring most forcefully
to their attention the need of a sys-

spraying outfit can be had for a mod
est outlay Of cash, while the bordeaux
mixture will stop the blight and the
paris green added to the same solution
will pat a Quietus on the bugs. We

Here is a fertilizer item which will
bear often repeating: Every load Of
barnyard manure put on the land is
worth not less than 81 to the man
who does it. A rotation Of clover Of
two years is worth in fertilizing value
as much as ten big loads Of manure to
the acre, and the man who sows it
has profitable crop while doing it be-
sides. If one has yellow corn on the
hills it means that the land Is calling
for clover or manure and perhaps both.
