Those who are curious about birds
may spend time to great profit in
looking at the poulterers. shops when
game is In season. There they will
find many rare and even valuable
specimens that apparently have been
thrown into the hamper by the man
who shot them on the chance Of his
receiving something from the London
dealer. A Very good museum Of
stuffed birds might be got by simply
purchasing those that through Ill luck
have found their way into Leadenhall

There was nothing startling in Pres
ident Taft's warning at winona that
If the nation wanted low tarir 1t
would have to look to the Democratic
party for 1t.
Mr.. Taft merely voiced-though his
apologists are blaming him for it-a
prevailing sentiment throughout the
West. The Republican partys failure
to keep Its tariff reduction pledges has
turned the eyes of American consum-
ers toward congress that will not
merely be pledged to low tariff, but
will keep the pledge.
President Taft admits, in express
terms, that certain portions OF his par
TVS pledge are unredeemed. Lower
wool duties, for instance. In the next
breath he says that the reason for this
failure was because the solidarity
OF his party would have been wrecked
BY the exercise of his veto power.
Republicans first and the interests OF
American consumers second place!
Can Mr.. Taft. or anyone else, COM
plain If the West proceeds to roll up
congressional majority that viii;
stand for Americanism first, and the
interests Of the Republican party last?
Is there not immediate justification
for Congress that will war on spe-
cial privilege in the form Of unequal
3tarih schedules. regardless Of the i'm
mediate effect on the fortunes Of any
political party?
President Taft has himself sounded
the bugle note that gives clear call
to Democracy.-Chicago Journal.

-four from the hard spring wheats Of
the Northwestern districts will pro-
duce large. well-piled loaf Of bread
Of excellent quality, and because It alb
sorbs lot of water it also gives a
good yield of bread. These are desira-
BILE qualities and naturally explain
why this class of flour Is SO popular
for bread making. says the Bakers
Weekly.
The softer winter wheats do not
contain SO much gluten and do not
make so large or to many people SO
desirable loaf as the spring wheat
sfiours. Yet a good, palatable loaf of
bread can be made. and is being made
every day, from this class of -four.
Breeders' Prospects Are Bright.
1t has been years since the prospect
for brisk sales OF pure-bred stock Of
all kinds were as bright as now. There
have been times In the past when cat
tie sales were good and hogs were
slow, or vice versa, but this fall both
are wanted by prosperous farmers
who have the money to pay for what
they buy. Pure-bred horses. especially
mares. are also in great demand, at
good prices. II there ever was a time
when 1t will pay to let the public
know what you have to sell, that time
win certainly be this fall. The av-
erage Southwestern farmer now fully

Pneumatic MIX Can.
A recent invention is dairy milk
can which may be filled at the dairy,
Theoretically sealed and kept in this
condition until the contents of the can
are removed at the place OF sale. This
result Is effected by the use of COM
pressed air In the can, which forces
out the contents as needed. The COM
pressed air is sterilized, and every
thing about the milk is kept perfectly
clean.
There is no danger from contami-
nation by exposure to dust and dirt, or
flies or other insects. 1t is impossible
to change or adulterate the contents
Of the can in any way from the time
1t leaves the dairy until the contents
have been placed in the consumers
hands.
This can is locked, and no liquid
can be pumped into it without break
ing the lock and removing cover
Scientific American.
Saving Seed.
Look after the saving of seed from
the best specimens of tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, squash and other vegetables,
and when they are perfectly dry place
in glass jars so they will be free from
the depredations of mice. Label the
Jars with the name of the variety and
the year grown. and If there is any
item you wish to remember connected
with. "a certain kind or variety make
a note OF it and place with the seeds
while the fact is fresh in your mind.
Seed should also be saved OF peas,
beans and sweet corn. as these are
so bulky and cost SO much to buy.
Where there is danger of weevil, 1t
would be we'll to place little BIZ
sulphide of carbon in the vessel con-
tanning the peas and beans, cover
tightly and leave few hours before
removing the seeds to the receptacle
they are to be kept in over winter.
This will destroy the weevil, but will
not hurt the terminating qualities Of
the peas.-Agricultural Epltomlst.

value Of Tillaxe.

Vatoe OF Tillage.
Tha limit Of production Of an acre
OF land Is measured as much BY the
capacity OF the man who tills It as
by the capacity of the soil itself to
produce large crop. There are few
farmers who till one-half acre of soil
In manner that will produce the
best and most profitable returns. As
a rule the average farmer has vague
Idea of the value of tillage and proper
fertilization. Through the feeding Of
the plants soil may be rich or poor,
Just as the farmer plans h!s rotation
and cropping system.
Many farmers have been handl.
capped because they have been taught
that clover and other members of the
legume family were the only means
OF increasing the nitrogen content of
their soils. OF course they are the
best. and In many instances the most
satisfactory means of adding available
nitrogen to the soil, but there are mil
lions OF root bacteria awaiting to feed
upon root, stem or organic matter
that may be turned under and make
available nitrogen for another plant
Agricultural Epitomist.
Manchester Democrat., 1909-10-06
Chemical Action Of Humu..


BY the action of humus, minerals
In the soil are changed to plant food.
Likewise 1t retains nitrogen in the
soil-the most valuable Ingredient and
the most costly fertilizer to buy. HUI
mus is the home of beneficial bacteria,
and 1t retains moisture
The land should be deeply plowed,
so as to'allow the humus to get deeply
Into the soil. for 1t is then that 1t
gives the greatest benefit to the long
roots. In soils here In the East 1t is
seldom that humus is found more than
eight inches below the surface. while
In California 1t is quite frequently
discovered eight feet below the sur
face. making the latter soil vastly
richer than that Of the East.
Deep plowing viii encourage tree
roots to grow more deeply, which is
point of economy, as the deeper
the root of the tree, the less fertilizer
will be required upon the surface, and
the more food will be brought up from
the depths. Another good reason for
plowing an orchard deeply is to break
any shell or hard pan that very often
forms short distance below the sur
face. and which has tendency to
prevent water from soaking down.
The Profitable Cow.
Is 1t the largest yielder of milk or
the COW that returns the largest yield
In proportion to cost Of feed con-
sumed? The Ontario Agricultural Col
lege has had the following experience
to relate:
A 6-year-old Holsteln COW topped the
herd in point of yield. She gave
12,963 pounds of milk. with 42s.OS
pounds of fat valued at s10726. She
cost to feed $54.4s and returned a
profit Of $52.7S. The second cow In
point of yield. 4-year-old HolsteIn
gave In 337 days 11,45S pounds OF
milk, with 394.92 pounds of fat, valued
at s9s.72. She cost to feed only $45.4
thus showing profit of s53.a1. The
same thing Is shown In the records
Of the Ayrshires in this herd A
S-year-old was highest In point OF
YIELD In S04 days she gave 9,lOe
pounds Of milk and 3S3.4O pounds OF
fat. valued at sS3.34, Her feed cost
| s44.21. thus showing profit of 500 10.
A 7-year-old COW was third In point OF
yield, giving 1926 pounds of milk and
317.6S pounds of tat in 277 days. val.
