CRITICAL COMMENT.

Opinion ON Some OF Secretary W.T.
sons Figures.
Prefacing its remarks with the asser.
ton that tour national secretary Of ag-
Hculture never lets a story shrink in
the telling" Ohio Farmer comments
critically upon some items of secretary
Wilson's last annual report as follows:
Take our largest crop, corn. OF the
corn crop Of 1904 Omitted States stats,
teal abstract, page $3.50 only 2.59 per
cent was exported" and 97.4 per cent
was retained for domestic eonsump-
uon." These percentages include both
corn and cornmeal. We have not the
exact figures (and they cannot be OBJ.
taineO for the per cent used here as
human food, drink and use, Including
cornmeal. whisky, glucose, starch, ETC.,
but it is wholly probable that II per
cent win far more than cover this. So
that Of our main crop, corn, more than
so per cent Ii fed to dcnre-t!c an44-.aiB
in the United States, and this so per
cant 10 therefore counted twice In the
secretary's figures land the newspa-
pers' boastine)-counted once as corn
and again as butter, eggs, beef, pork,
wool, etc. And essentially the same 10
true Of hay, oats and some other crops.
Per Cent of Profit.
Commenting still further on Score
tary Wilson's figures as they relate to
the yearly production Of wealth on
farms, Ohio Farmer concludes that
even If we allow half for taxes, labor
and other expenses it will give us over
ID per cent per annum as the net in
comel Yet we all know that the very
richest ana best farms of Illinois and
OHIO do not net their landlord owners
more than 8 or 8 per cent. If average
farms melted Is per cent, they would
be swiftly taken up by capitalists an
investmants.

BY RICHARD H. WOOD, NJ. D.
The incubator Is an important factor
In poultry raising. 1t is a success. 1t
has come to stay, and the time is not
far distant when it will be as neces-
sary upon every farm as is the pillow,
the mower or the separator. 1t is a
machine the operation Of which is sim
pie. 1t calls for no hard or heavy
manual labor. A woman, a child or
even a crippled or invalid member Of
the household may learn to operate
an incubator easily and successfully.
Hundreds Of most excellent incuba-
tors are being made and sold, but they
are forced to compete with almost as
many that are inferior and imperfect,
II not positively defective Now, every
imperfect machine put out is a seri
Gus damage to the incubator business
The purchaser Of an inferior machine
failing to secure good results, sets
aside his incubator and informs his
nelghbors that artificial incubation is
a failure. On the other hand, the pur-

made and adapted to its works. SO
apt to be pleased with his success that
he encourages his friends and neighbors
to undertake raising chickens with In.
cubators.
No Danger of OvercrOwding.
1t seems proper to answer the Ques
don, asked so frequently, as there not
some danger that so many will embark
In this business that 1t will be overdone
and the markets be overcrowded with
poultry and eggs?" Answer: No; the
demand Is constantly increasing, and
more production will be followed by
increased consumption. As fast as q
regular supply can be depended upon
to the same extent will consumers
learn to avail themselves of that sup.
ply.
Again, not every one who has gone
into the poultry business will remain
In it. Many will find it not to their
liking, while others will not have sufl-
c1ent energy and persistence to learn
Its details. The poultry business L.
one Of the most stable lines Of business
In the world today. Its products are
always In demand in every town and
city of the world. No prejudice of re-
liglon or caste stands in Its way. Sales
are not limited as to locality or season.

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Evsry sunset Registers ss,aOO, 1000 In
crease In Value of Farms.

EVERY Sunset Registers 60 400, 200 In
crease In Value of Farms.
Hon. James Wilson, the secretary of
agriculture, in his annual report thus
summarizes the present economic posi-.
ton Of farmers: IF the farmers eco
nomic position In the United States is
to be condensed to short paragraph,
u may be said that their farms pro-
auced this year wealth valued at $6,-
415,0O0,0o0; that farm products are
yearly exported with port value of
$S75, 900; that farmers have revers-
ed an adverse international balance of
trade and have been building up one
favorable to this country by sending
to foreign nations a surplus which in
sixteen years has aggregated $4,000.
100000, leaving an apparent net bal
ance Of trade during that time amount
ing to 5000, 100000 after en- adverse
balance against manufactures and 9th
or products not agricultural, amounting
to $54S, 100000 has been Offset. The
manufacturing industries that depend
upon farm products for raw materials
employed 2,154,0 900 persons In 1900 and
used a capital of 81, 1872, 100000. With
In a decade farmers have become prom
inent as bankers and as money lenders
throughout large areas, and during the
past i've years prosperous conditions
and the better directed efforts of the
farmers themselves have increased the
value Of their farms 1876 per cent, OF
an amount approximately equal to &c..
188.OO0,000.
The Increase.
'The cotton farms have increased in
value $780, 00O 900, so that II might be
said that during the past Eve years the
cotton plantations have had six crops,
one Of them a permanent Investment
promising to pay good return year by
year. Hay and grain farms show an
increase Of $2,oO0,O0oOO0, live stock
farms a still larger gain, dairy farms
$685., 100000, tobacco farms So, 900 900,
rice farms 100000, fruit farms $o7,-
100000 and vegetable farms $118,O00,.
600. Every sunset during the past Ave
years has registered an increase of
$8,400000 In the value Of the farms of
this country. Every month has piled
value upon value until 1t has reached
102,000O00, That portion Of the ma
tional debt bearing interest is equaled
by the increased value of farms in nine
months, and this Increase for a little
over a year balances the entire inter.
eBt bearing and noninterest bearing
debt Of the United States"

Dried Blood Tonic For Calves.
The Kansas station has been very
successful in using dried blood as q
tonic for weak or securing calves. A
mild case Of scours can usually b.
cured in from one to two days by re.
duclng the milk and adding teaspoon
ful of dried blood while the calf is
drinking. In severe cases of scours the
addition Of one or two eggs with the
dried blood has been found to be very
effective.

"NOw then, if it is to be sue cesstul, want to call your at tentiOn to the responsibilities that will be upon you as citizens of the country. You will have to select your state officers, you will have to select your congressman and senators, and before all that, you will have to make a funda- mental law called your cOnstitu- tiOn, which is to govern your legislature, your law making and your executive thereafter. And that is a responsibility which is -vvay heavy and tO which invite your careful consideration.
 "The trouble IS that you are so anxious for statehood, so de termined to have it, that, no matter wh"t your constitution IS; if 1t l. presented to you you will vote for statehood and vote for the COnstitutiOn-at least that has been the experience in other directions. Therefore, 1t behOOves you to see to 1t that the men who frame your cOnsti- tuition are charged with the re- sponsibility of making a good constitution. Now then, we have had constitutions made by terri tories coming into the union which were voted and approved and which did not approve them selves to those men who looked forward aud understood what a constitution ought to be. It ought to be simple; it ought to be general; 1t ought to be com prehenslve. It ought not to in clude every limitation upon the legislature that each member of that constitutional convention thinks would be wise to follow i'll legislation. You should leave something to your legislature. Don't make your constitution read like statute. Be states men and make it read like a fun damental law.

Even Arizona Babies Cry For It Says He-Greeted

POPULATION SUFFICIENTLY DESERVES IT

In his Prescott speech the Pres ident said i'll part:
 I am glad to see you because 1 am glad to know that the pop ulatiOn of Arizona, which 1 be- lieve will soon and in the near future become a state, IS (great applause) sufficient to deserve it. l observe even out of the mouths of babies and stockings we hear the desire for statehood.
 "I congratulate you upon hay ing such a energetic and pretty city, I have no doubt here. as elsewhere i'll Arizona, as elsewhere i'll the new states which l have had the honor to visit, there IS a determination on the part Ofeach citizen in Prescott to make her population double in the next few years, to increase the wealth, prosperity, and to make it known asa large place on the map. That spirit l find everywhere through out the west. l find 1t subOrdi- nate, however, to the interests in the state and still more subOr- dinate to the interests in the de- velOpment of the country-all these feelings developing into an Americanism which makes the type that everyone, who feels in- tcrested i'll his country, has a right to have great pride in. (Ap- plause.)
 "Now, l had the honor to ad- dress an audience at the capitol of your territory this morning, and in the course of those re- marks 1 ventured to prophsey that you would have statehood i'll the near future. l did so be cause the Republican platform, upon which had the honor to be elected, promised that statehood to Arizona and New Mexico, sepa- rately. l am not, however, the legislature of this government, and all I can do is prophsey, not to promise. But from what l know from what 1 have heard of the discussiOn-I am quite sure that the movement IS pro ceeding, and that you may count upon it's success.
