Plants Chance.

Plants change their characters ac-
cording to the conditions in which
they are, and this is more true of the
artificial plants than any other. Take
the wheats by way of illustration.
They have been so artificially bred
for a long time that they are very
susceptible to conditions. A wheat at
the Tennessee experiment station that
had been bred to have large
amount of protein and a small amount
of starch suddenly developed a great
deal of starch in wet year when the
leaves grew large, This change, &C
cording to season, is the hardest
thing to combat in any artificial plant,
and any plant that has been modified
by man is artificial. The more changes
we make with plants the easier are
changes made. The last rs years has
seen more new brands of cabbages
brought on the market than ever be-
fore and some of them are very diff.
ferent from the old varieties.

WET OR DRY FEEDING.
One Farmer Who Believes in the Lat.
ter Method and Why.

There are still some farmers that
feedbran, middlings or any other
ground feed wet. Some give as rea
son for this that cows eat it sooner
That's true, and just what should be
avoided. The animals bolt 1t down
without chewing and mixing 1t with
saliva properly. Eaten in this way the
full value is not got out of ground
feed.
A farmer who cooked the grain for
his cows once told me that certain
quantity of it would increase about
one-third in bulk by the addition OF
water and the cooking 1t required no
arguing to convince me Of this, He
did, however, not convince me that
the feeding value was also increased
Made more palatable? Perhaps SO
But am not sure of this, for we have
a striking example in human kind
Some persons want everything edible
seasoned with half a dozen different
kinds of spices, while others prefer tc
eat grain nuts, etc, raw. May 1t mol
be, asks the writer in Farmers Re
view, that when cows have not become
used to wet feed yet, they prefer il
dry? This is, perhaps, not easy tc
ascertain, for though man may be q
hog at times, he can not become a
COW temporarily.
Another thing, if the ground feed
is fed as slop in the managers, 1t is
very difficult to keep them perfectly
sweet and clean, Some feed In pals,
but that is lot of work.
Some think that less is wasted when
feeding wet for ground feed is blown
away easier. There isn't much in this
for some COWS will spatter wet feed
too. 1t may be all right to feed wet to
old animals that have poor molars'
Ordinarily 1t does not pay to keep
COWS until they can not chew any
more.

GOOD COWS GIVE GOOD MILK.
But Feed and Care-Exercise a Strono
Influence Also.

There is a wide difference In the
richness of the milk of different cows.
Many dairymen still cling to the idea
that feed has more TO do with the
quality of the milk than anything else,
and 1t is pretty hard to make them be-
heve that a COW will give as rich milk
when fed on timothy hay as she will
when fed on clover or alfalfa. Psof.
Dean says that fat is the most vari-
able portion of the milk 1t may visy
from two to ten per cent. with indi-
vidual cows. The milk of the whole
herd seldom varies more than one-half
to one per cent. from day to day. The
chief causes of the variation in the
percentages of fat in milk are breed,
individuality, frequency of milking
nights or mornings milk, period of
lactation, care and comfort of the cow
and to very slight extent, possibly
the feed of the COW. The more fire.
quently the cows are MIXED, the high
er will be the percentage of fat in
their milk. AS the period of lactation
advances, the milk usually becomes
richer in fat and total solids. The bet
ter care the cows receive, the more
comfortable they are made, the more
favorable are the conditions for secret
ing rich milk. Also, whether the cows
are stripped or not will also make a
difference in the richness of their
milk. Proper manipulation of the I'D
der will also increase the percentage
of fat in milk. Feed, however, has
very little to do with the richness Of
the milk. 1t must be concluded that
the cow governs the quality or rich
ness of the milk, hence instead of try
Ing to feed fat into the milk the work
of the dairyman should be in selecting
and breeding cows that will give rich
milk. This is a very important mat
ter, and frequently the margin be-
tween profit and loss may be traced
to this very lack of quality.

COMING WEST.
shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts and Connecticut are
generally thought OF as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer Of full vamp
shoes in the world-The F. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from. the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly it is Mil
waukees nearness to this great west
market which Is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west In the last % years they
have outgrown six factories. mclud-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day.
which ALREADY has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

KEEP UP THE WHEAT LAND.
Fertility of the Soil Must Be Kept W
at Any Cost.

The fertility of the wheat land must
be kept up at any cost, but we are
certain that in some parts of the west
the fertility is surely declining. Only
a small per cent. of our farmers have
as yet reversed the process. 1t is easy
enough to keep up the fertility OF the
wheat fields if the owner of the wheat
farm is willing to take the informa'
ton that has been collected from the
experiences of other men. Wheat land
cannot be kept up in fertility If the
process of wheat raising every year Is
followed.
Two things must be done-a rota'
ton must be established and some
fertilizer such as potash and phosphate
must be applied in some quantities
each year. Rotating so as to bring in
a leguminous crop every few years
will help keep up the supply of nitro.
gen and will improve the physical tex
ture of the soil. Potash and phos.
phorus can be applied in small quaint
ties each year at small cost per acre
and this must be done If the quality OF
the land Is to be maintained. Rota'
ton is a good thing, but 1t can never
bring in potash or phosphorus that
have been taken from the land oil
which the land lacks.
With proper handling our wheat
lands can be made to produce the
great crops they did 40 years ago.
In fact it is possible to make them
produce more than they did in their
old condition, for in addition to put
ting back the fertilizer we can i'm
prove them by draining, many of the
wheat fields being in need of this.
But this cannot all be done in day.
A little should be done each year In
the way of putting in the fertilizers
the crops must have. The benefits OF
rotation cannot be gained in few
years, but the periodical turning under
of sod or the roots of leguminous
plants will be constant method OF
improving soil conditions.
In the middle west are millions OF
acres of land that are kept in wheat
year after year, but which are now
producing ten bushels less per acre
than they used to produce, says the
Farmers Review. The returns will
be still less in years to come, if steps
are taken to prevent further exhaus'
ton. 1t is not only the loss of the
fertility that has to be considered
but the badness of the physical con.
dition resulting from the loss Of fer.
tility, In fertile ground the roots
strike deep and spread out In all di.
rections. These roots rot and leave
the soil in a good condition physically
But in poor soil the root systems are
weak and the soil gradually packs
down SO hard that the frosts even dc
not go down far There is no way in
which the farmer can make money
easier than by improving the fertility
of the land he has in wheat

FARM SCALES
The Satisfaction Which One Farmer
Gets Out of Their Possession.

A pair of wagon scales on the
farm are like the necessities of life
IN the home and family. | would
not know how to do without them, de-
clares a writer in Farm and Home
| never owned farm without scales
and it seems to me the farmer that
can could go to sleep If his barn was
on fire. There is no end to the rear
sons for scales on the farm. The sat
isfaction they afford is alone worth
ten times their cost.
At this time | am delivering 10000
bushels of onions to a large storage
buyer ] weigh the loads as they go
out and the wagons as they return
| compare my weights with the buy
ers Although they may weigh me
short so to 100 pounds some loads, it
is great satisfaction to know what is
going on and that it is not great
deal worse. The farmer is a back
number that will deliver grain to an
elevator and cattle and hops to a
shipper, not knowing his weights
| might enter into a long, practi-
cal use for scales on the farm, for
scientific uses in the feed lot, etc, but
I do not believe that the farmer who
has made money enough to buy
pair of scales needs details. He only
needs to wake up, install a pair of
scales on his farm, read good farm
journals and do business on business
principles.
