Keeping Boys and Girls on the Farm

The American corn belt devotes sixty
five million acres to the crop and raises
one and three quarter billion bushels,
adding billion dollars to the wealth
of the nation every year 1t comprises
the twelve states of Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, and in
addition to producing three-fourths of
Americas chiefest crop leads the world
in the output of dairy products and the
yield of oats, barley, timothy and pota-
toes. But the greatest crop, which it
has at last devoted itself to raising, is
that of farm boys and farm girls.
Great and wealthy as the corn belt is,
it has at last Weakened to the fact that
it cannot much longer lead the world in
raising corn and oats and barley land
other things" if it does not at least try
to lead in rearing boys and girls who
will stay on the farm. By means of the
new science of agronomy it has within
recent years learned how to increase its
cereal and dairy yield. Unlike Mark
Twain, who claims to be the only far
mer in Connecticut who can make
two blades of grass where three grew
before" there are hundred thousand
farmers in the corn belt who have
learned literally how to make two
blades of grass and two ears Of corr
where but one grew before. But OF
what value is this knowledge if sons
and daughters are to quit the farm
leaving corn-belt prosperity to the hap
hazard agriculture of the city-born and
of transplanted foreigners who find con
ditions and climate vastly different
from those of the Fatherland? There
fore the corn belt has at last set itself
to raising that greater and more valu
able crop of farm boys and farm girls
who find material comforts and ample
financial recompense on the farm

Lemons a Good Summer Friend.

With warm weather, when mans
best friend is the citrus fruit, these sug-
gestions are especially interesting. Fol-
lowing are Is uses of lemon:
1. Two or three slices of lemon in a
cup of strong tea will cure a nervous
headache.
2. A teaspoonful of juice in small
cup of black coffee will relieve bilious
headache.
3. The juice of half lemon in a cup
of hot water on awakening in the morn.
ing is an excellent liver corrective and
successful substitute for calomel and
other Alternative drugs.
4. A dash of lemon juice in plain
water makes a cleansing tooth wash,
not only removing the tartar, but
sweetening the breath.
s. A lotion of lemon juice and rose
water will remove tan and whiten the
skin.
6. Lemon juice with olive oil is far
superior to vinegar for salad dressing
equal parts used for blending.
7. Lemon juice ard loaf sugar is
good for hoarseness.
s. Outward application of the juice
allays irriations caused by insect bites.
8. If when boiling sage or rice a
teaspoonful of lemon juice is added the
kernels will be whittier and a delicate
flavor impaired.
10. An old-fashioned remedy for
Group, we remember, is honey, alum
and lemon juice.
II. Salt and lemon juice will remove
rust stains from white goods.
10. After the juice is extracted, the
rind dipped in salt cleanses brass beauti-
fully and conveniently.
10. 1t removes unsightly stains from
the hands.
ID. For favoring cookery lemon
juice is unexcelled.
Is. After the pulp is removed the
skins make dainty receptacles for serv-
ing salads ices. etc.
10: Tough meat can be made tender
by adding teaspoonful of lemon juice

BInder-Twine Plant Profits.

Reports to the state board of control
of the jackson state prison show that
the binder Irvine plant in the prison
made a net profit of $50, 515 for the year
ending July 1, while for 1907 the pro-
fits were $12,650
The gross profits this year were $40, :
101, from which the board deducted the
convict labor in the plant and transfer
red to the current expense fund $l2,-
$3.50, and further reduction of 10
per cent for depreciation of machinery.
The profit is turned back into the re-.
volving fund of the prison for the pur-
chase of new material
1t is also expected that the coming
years business will be even better than
the past year, as the board has been
fortunate in the purchase of sisal get
ting it at a lower price than formerly
and this will enter into cheapening the
cost of manufacture of binder Irvine.
The board decided to pay the convicts
employed in the plant five cents day
of the amount due them for their SER
vices and have it placed to their credit
on the books They are allowed a per-
centage of the amount of binder Irvine
business handled, and it averages this
year little over Is cents per day, but
as the receipts for the sale of the pro-
duct are not all in and will not be until
October, they cannot draw the full
amount until that time.

They Fail to Understand Alfalfa.

A notion, merely a motion, has been
spread abroad by certain farm institute
workers in various states that it is inn
practicable to paactice the proper rota-
ton of crops where one grows alfalfa.
Just how this notion should gain foot
hold as it has we fail to understand,
for alfalfa is really one of the very best
rotation crops we know of. On the
Hoard's Dairyman farm rotation with
alfalfa has been practiced for more than
ten years. In this particular we count
it of more than double the value to the
land that red clover is. Another thing,
alfalfa has much finer mechanical
effect on the soil than clover In the
spring, week at least before clover
soil is fit to plough. especially if on a
clay soil, the alfalfa soil will turn loose
and friable.
The growth of the alfalfa root is
much deeper and greater than with
clover and consequently its fertilizing
effect is greater. All things considered
for the sake of the soil we much prefer
to rotate with alfalfa. We can see our
soil steadily gaining in productive Ca
pacitv and much of this is due we
think, to alfalfa rotation.-Hoard's
Dairyman.
