Feeding Meal, Wet or Dry.

Many Of our farmers seem to hold
the opinion that feeding meal wet to
their cows will bring better results
than when fed dry. One old farmer
makes the remark, "how can the COW
get any goodness out of a pan of dry
mealY yet Notwithstanding the fact
that so many dairymen hold to the
practice of feeding the meal wet, the
experiments to date indicate that bet
ter results are obtained by feeding
it dry. Professor Jordan, Of the Maine
Experiment Station, fed a bunch of
calves corn and cob meal with long
hay in dry form, as against hay which
was run through feed cutter, mois-
tened and sprinkled with corn and cob
meal. The results were in favor Of
the dry feeding The gain was great
err, and less feed was required for
100 pounds Of gain. Professor Jordan
also conducted an experiment with two
herds of dairy cows, one herd was fed
dry feed, while the feed Of the other
was moistened. The greater yield Of
milk was obtained from the herd that
received the dry feed.

While visiting practical farmer .
few weeks ago he said that where
everything was fed out on the farm
and the manure returned to the soil Il
should grow richer instead of poorer
and that furthermore there was less
connected with the farm when 1t was
conducted on these principles than
when the system was varied from year
to year.
One thing is certain, the growing
and feeding of live stock on the farms
compels the growth of crops TO feed
that are best adapted for the produc-
ton Of flesh and animal products.
Prominent among these crops are Glow
er, alfalfa and the other nitrogen gath
ering plants that possess a high feed
ing value and are relished by animals
on account Of their palatability.
We cannot too often repeat the
fact that the farmers who follow q
short crop rotation, in which legume
is grown every third year, need not
worry about maintaining an adequate
supply of nitrogen, providing he feeds
these crops to live stock and saves
the manure, both liquid and solid, and
returns 1t to the soil. When nitrogen

fed to the animals in connection with
the homegrown foods the increase ir
nitrogen is still Observation-Disclosures

Pront from Poultry.

Poultrymen estimate that 1t costs !
cent apiece to produce an egg. The
estimate Ia based on the fact that the
hen lays 100 eggs in the year. In other
words, where the fowls are confined to
runs, and the feed must be purchased,
1t costs 10 cents a month or $1.2O q
year to maintain hen. If the hen is
an Indifferent layer and gives but sixty
eSsc In year, her eggs cost the poul-
trymau 2 cents each.
An experiment conducted by the Cor
| nell experiment station in 1902 showed
lhat the average cost of feed for
dozen eggs was 90 cents, or about y
Of a cent an egg. The cost for each
hen for the year was 996 cents. At
that time wheat was sold at SLAB a
hundred pounds, while at the present
time 1t is So; bran sold at $1.35 hum
dred pounds and it is now $1.S0; and
meat scraps cost $215 a hundred
pounds and now we pay $40. So at
the present increased price of feed,
the cost of feeding the hen is easily
i 20 cents a year more than 1t was in
1902.
To make poultry profitable on the
farm it is necessary to breed for bet
ter laying. This is done by installing
trap nests in the henhouses, and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his stock. He must
get rid Of the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones, and must encour-
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more Of it.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and If the latter,
in many ways handicapped, can make
poultry keeping a successful business,
the farmer should at least make the
work a valuable adjunct to his in.

be made the most profitable crop on
the Acknowledgement, expense and
labor considered.
1t is argued by some farmers that
their hens cost them practically moth
ing, as they have free range and car
gather all the food they need. There
! Is some truth in that, and there also
is some truth in the fact that farm
ers' nocks seldom yield a profit com

sailing Down Meat.

Curing meat for future consumption
is one of the annual jobs on the farm.
In some sections Of the country, says
the Journal of Agriculture, the prob
lem of sailing down meat is serious
one because of the heat In sections
of the South there are winters when
there is very little cold weather and
1t is not until late that hogs may be
slaughtered. Here is a recipe which is
said to be a good one: For 1000
pounds of meat take ten quarts of salt
peter, pound Of pepper and 2 pounds
of yellow sugar. Mix well, put in a
tub or some suitable vessel, and then
apply the mixture well to the meat
This is said to be the most success

Quarter Crack.

This is one of the most serious trou-
bles with which we have to contend In
our dry climate. When a crack ap-
pears it is a difficult matter to bring
down the new growth of sound hoof
without firing and blistering, so that
prevention is all important There is
no need to cut out the sole or open
the heels, as it is called. The frog
and heels should be left absolutely
alone, and they cannot be too well de-
veloped. The sole will take care OF
itself, for nature exfoliates dead horn
as required. Keep the wall rounded
at the ground surface, the toe short
and the frog prominent. and with few
exceptions horses will come through all

Preserving MIX.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of small guam

ia based on the fact that freshly-pre-

EiQht or Surrender.

The signs and portents are ominous
of an accommodation between the
president and the standpat leaders in
congress under the terms of which he
will come out shorn of the honors as
we'll as the spoils of war. There can
be no serious claim that the senate
project is other than a mockery of
what the president has repeatedly in
sisted that revision must be in order
to meet the equities of the case and
retain for his party the respect of the
country.
So to pretend is to add insult to
injury. SO far as the public is con.
cerned, but Mr.. Taft cannot afford to
advance a plea which even Aldrich,
Lodge and Penrose are ashamed to
hide behind. The issue as presented
has been interpreted once and again
by the president himself. There is no
middle ground for him between a
fight on full v%indication and total sur
render to the extremists.-Norfolk

The New Customs Court.

Early in the present session of con-
gress Senator Aldrich made an as-
peal for retrenchment and economy.
His presentation of the case for re-
duction of expenditures was strong
and timely. yet the proposed admins
tration customs measure which he is
supporting provides for the creation
Of a new court, to consist of five
judges at salaries of $4,000 a year
each, to pass upon questions of dis
puted rates Of duty. The annual ex-
penses of such a court would not fall
short of $1,000 and it's judges would
be expected, at least by the standpat-
ters, to fix tariff rates at the highest
top notch. One would think that
there is ample machinery already in
the customs house and treasury de-
rartment to fix tariff rates, but Sena-
tor Aldrich wants more machinery to
make sure that hone of the sacred
maximum duties are sacrificed. For
this he would create a $1OO, 900 new
court, Notwithstanding his desire for
economy.

Stand Pat

This from the foremost Republican
protectionist newspaper-the New
York Tribune:
1.-THE restoration by the senate of
the duty on hides was to be expected.
1t is in line with the general policy
of the finance committee and it's fol.
lowers to nullify the reductions in
rates made in the house bill and to re-
shape that bill in the exact image of
the Dingley law.
1.-THE victory of the finance COM
mittee' only emphasizes the 'standpat'
character of it's tariff program. No
duty levied by the Dingley law is less
defensible on grounds of rational pro-
lection than the duty on hides"
If in the light of such protests from
their own section of their W party
these senators cannot foresee the pc.

they must be past praying for.

FIGURES. TELL TALE
HERE is LUCID EXPLANATION OF
TARIFF JUGGLERY.
Discussion All Centered on the "6ig"
Schedules Where Oppressive Indi.
rect Taxation Is Hidden-Trusts
In Impregnable Position.

The average tariff taxes collected
from American consumers has been
about $500, 900, 900 per year, during the
last three years. The largest sum
ever collected in one yesr was 1929,
600, 900 in 1907 :,
Fully three-fourths of this enormous
total is realized on a small group OF
schedules. Twelve articles, or groups
of articles alone paid $3.50, 900, 900 tar.
LII taxes in 1907. These were sugar,
cotton, tobacco, manufactures of fib-
ers, manufactures Of silk, manufact-
ures of wool, raw wool, wines and
liquors, iron and steel, china and
~earthenware, drugs and chemicals,
fruits and nuts.
Sugar alone paid $50, 900, 900 duty in
1908; cotton manufactures, $39, 900,
000; leaf tobacco, $22, 000, 900; manu-
features of fibers, $22, 1000, 900; manu-
features of silk, 500, 600, 900; manufact.
ures Of wool, $780, O0, 900, and raw
wool, $4,000, 000. The proportion is
about the same each year. Manu-
features of iron and steel now average
$12,0 00, 900 a year.
In these figures we have a lucid ex-
PLANTATION of tariff iugglery in both
house and senate. All the fierce fight
ing has been on the "big" schedules.
Naturally so, because it is in these
schedules that the bulk of oppressive
Indirect tariff taxation is hidden.
The sugar and tobacco trusts did
not even have to put up a serious
fight. Their position in the big reve-
nue-producing class shielded them, and
they have had a steady buffer against
tariff reduction in the demands of ma
tive producers. Cottons, fibers, silk
and wool have furnished the real bat
tleground.
Iron, steel and lumber are a long
way from the top of the list as reve-
nue-prOducers. That is, artificial
taxes in those commodities are less
