AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.


 The last issue of Secretary Wilson's year book of agriculture contains a good deal of interesting and optimistic information touching the advance which has been made along agricul- tural lines during the past twelve years. He finds that the agricultural balance of trade favorable to the United States has increased from $234,000,O00 to $411, 100000 in twelve years, being a gain of 75.7 per cent He reports that the employees in the agricultural department, as a result of the recognition of the importance of the work by the people at large through their congressman, have been increased from 2,444 in 1897 to 10,420 in 1908. He notes a rapid introduction of better agricultural methods and more effective machinery and a closer and more practical connection be- tween the work of the state expcri- ment stations and the agricultural in- terests of the country. Secretary Will son observes that, while there has been a decreasing production per acre of what was originally virgin soil, there has been an increased production per acre for the whole country. He finds that cotton production has increased in ten years from 172 to 191 pounds per acre, that the increase in prOduc- tion of corn per acre in Ohio has been 17.5, of oats ill Indiana 17.9, of wheat in New York 162 and in Nebraska 45.9 per cent. Along with all of this advance in many lines there has been an increase in financial returns, which has meant better living as well as more comforts and compensations of rural inhabitants. The general tone of the veteran secretary's report is such that the rural citizen would seem to be justified now in laying plans for a large turkey and generous outlay of plum pudding for the last Thurs day in November.

TREATING FENCEPOSTS.

If enc has a good deal of fencing to do he is justified in looking into some method of giving the posts a preserva- tive treatment whereby their term of usefulness may be extended. Creosote is one of the materials most commonly employed ill preserving wood and where commercially used is forced into the posts i'll cylinders under pressure This is called the ''pressure method." Another method and one more com mOnly used by those who have a linn tied number of posts to treat is the "open tank" It has been found that by immersing the wood first in a kot and then in a cold liquid almost as good results are obtained as in the pressure method. If two tanks are not available for the hot and cold baths one tank will suffice, the posts being left in the hot prcservative for several hours and the heat then shut off and allowed tO cool in tho eli until the proper sfauration has taken place.

FARMHOUSE SANITATION.

The problem of house sanitation is largely solved by city residents who have drainage from their houses direct into good sewage systems. In smaller towns and in the country, where such all outlet is not possible, the matter of the house drainage and closet should receive careful attention. Where the householder has the means by all odds the best system is an indoor toilet room, coupled with good drainage for the seat, bath and lavatory into a cess pool of ample size located at suf- ticient distance from the well so that there cannot De any possibility of contamination of the water supply therefrom. Where such a system is installed pipes from the kitchen sink should be connected with it. Where means are limited or the house is cold and winter weather conditions are such that the pipes are likely to freeze. some other arrangement will have to be made. While q bathtub would still be possible, such disposal would have to be made of the drainage from it as not to result in dampness about the house. A satisfactory as well as Sani- tary arrangement for the closet is the substitution of a drawer of ample size in place of a cesspool and so arranged that it may be pulled out by single horse, drawn to some distant spot and emptied as often as may be neces
 sarY. The place may be still further %Weetened and the danger from flies eliminated if air slaked lime is sprin- kled ill the drawer during the period of accumulation, and incidentally the lime will probably be good for the land. Another respect in which the health of the farm home may be safe guurded-and here good farming jibes
 in with correct sanitatiOn-is cleaning out the pens, yards and feed lots as frequently as possible and scattering the fertilizers at once on those portions of the farm which are most in need of them. There are thousands of farm homes where a few or one of the suggestions above made might be car ried out and the premises be made more sanitary, more comfortable and more attractive as a consequence.

It is just as easy to have the farn animals gentle and tractable as vii and Lrcechy and vastly more to t&" credit as well as to the profit of those who have the care of them. Especial! is this true of cows and horses and it. a less degree also of hogs and sheep. Gentle handling means absence of fright and excitement, both of which are a detriment to an animal in milk and flesh production.

While conditions on the farm c; ranch may be the most healthful to b. found anywhere, it is nevertheless true that, from the standpoint of san itatiOn at least, they are often bad If the surface drainage from the barn yard or the seepage from the nearby cesspool is toward the well a condition exists which is decidedly bad anG may result in an outbreak of disease, Resides this. the cellar may be damp and a fertile stamping ground for dis ease germs, or the house HlOps may not be properly disposed O. and thus be a source of danger Lastly, flies are factor that may be a possible means of breeding disease, in which case the warfare against them shOuiG be relentless, including methods which will prevent their matching as well as means of killing those that are hatch ed. It is easy and very natural to overlook some of these means of safe guarding human health on the farm, because there are so many things more in evidence which take time and attention, but in spite of this it is well to exercise the largest degree of care possible along the lines suggested as in the end it will stand for comfort, health and economy.

A blacksmith in San Juan BautistG claims to have discovered a process fCl hardening copper, an art that was ir common use in ancient times, but was in some way lost.

His secret has not been given scientific approval, but h. has evidently discovered something worth while.

That there are still agricultural op- pcrtunities in the eastern and middle states is given pretty effective demon stration in the $4O,OOO crop of cabbage which a firm near Beloit, Wis, raised rn a 100 acre field this season. This is a gross return of $400 per acre, or quite likely three times what the lam could be bought for.

It is, after all, but evidence of de sire to speculate when the corn bel. farmer, particularly the one located in the northern part, plants a. type Of corn which is too big to mature in the season, lying between the limits of killing frosts in spring and fall. Where an exceptionally favorable season makes possible the proper maturit! of such corn one year, there will be 2 half dozen seasons when it will Gc hit with the frost before it is rir and sour and mold in the crib. It i better to play safe and grow smaller and earlier maturing type.

When the name of the farm or ranch and that of its proprietor is inscribed Oil the barn or q neat signbOard over the driveway it is q pretty sure sign that he takes enough pride and inter est in his place so that he wants the public to know to whom the place be- longs. It is a commendable practice and is an evidence of enterprise and thrift that is always carefully noted by the passerby. There ought to be more signbOards on. American farms.

The grass and alfalfa fed cattle and sheep of the plains of Argentina are coming to be serious competitors of those produced in America and finished for market on the more expensive grain ration. The past year Argentina sent more meat products to the Eng fish markets than did the United States, and it was in prime condition without bit o6 corn. Added to cheap ration is the fact that it costs no more to transport stock or meat products from Argentina than it does from Chi cago.

There is little question that the pres ent beef scarcity which has boosted prices to $S5O or further is traceable to the trick which the packing inter ests turned on the feeders eighteen months ago. when, realizing the scar city of feed, they forced beef prices down to $3.50 and less and mulcted every man who had been stuffing his beeves with 65 cent corn. There was a dead loss on every animal thus fed, and naturally feeders have not cared to have the experience repeated.

A good many farm places here and there do not present as attractive an appearance as they might because in the laying out of the grounds for house and outbuildings a position of undue conspicuousness has been given tho hog houses and yards. Thus placed they are not only unsightly to those who live on the place, but detract much from it's appearance to passers- by. While hogs are an important fac tor in the farm economy in many sec tions, the place for their pens is oU back of the barn.

Corn experts are coming to look up on the Silver King, a type originated in northern Iowa and developed b.: the Wisconsin experiment station, as a heavy yielding, early maturing va riety, which can be grown safely in the northern part of the corn belt. The ears are large, kernels a trifle coarse but of good depth, while the corn plant is rank, strong and vigorous. Where corn growers have not yet se cured a type of corn with which they are satisfied it would be well to give this variety trial. It can be secured from any reliable house, al d the seed should be grown north rather than south of the latitude where it is to be planted. Like all other seed corn, it should be bought on the ear.

Why England Has No Flies.

The proof is that it has been done.
Speaking rashly. there are no flies in
England; at least. there are so few
that the Inhabitants do not think it
worth while to screen their dwellings,.
The reason is the simplest-the tight
little island is kept clean. Fifty years
ago flies were nuisance in England: /:
though not the plague they are here,
for no other really civilized country
was ever quite so dirty as the United
States of America, This nuisance is
pretty completely abated. In so years
England has been swept and gar
nished, and the flies have starved
