A sportsmen's ballooning club will be
organized this week by Los Angeles,
Pasadena and other Southern Califor-
MIA men interested for the purpose OF
promoting the liking of sports ana OIL
advertising this section of the country.
Similar clubs have been formed else
where, but Los Angeles offers oppor-
tunities for ballooning not possessed
nv any other part of the world. par
ticularIy in winter, and the new organ
ization proposes to take advantage OF
this is advertising California as a
winter resort among a wealthy class Oh
people.
The new club will be formed purely
as a sportsmens organization, but per-
sons who have an interest in balloon
ing but who have not made ascents Will
be eligible to membership. 1t will not
enter the field of scientific experiment,
and hence will not conflict with the
Aero club of California. Meetings 10
further the organization will be heid
this week in both Los Angeles ana Pas-
adena.
THE "balloon fever" has spread widely
about Los Angeles since the first of the
year and nearly forty persons nave
made ascents. A great many otners
who have no desire to go up IN pal
loon are nevertheless interested ana are
cooperating in forming the club, when
will probably be given the title Oh the
Los Angeles Balloon club.
Dick Ferris has promised the new or
ganization the use of his racing bal
looms. the United States and American,
and the new made in Southern Gail
fornia" balloon, the Los Angeles, just
finished by Frank Leroyzez, will also be
available.
Eastern BaIIoonists Coming
In addition to planning pleasure as
tensions and arranging place where
ascents may be made at any time the
club will gather statistics regarding
the advantages of ballooning IN south
ern California. Several eastern balloon
lists of note have written to Los Angeles
men already asking for information
about making ascents here in winter,
which is uncomfortable and almost I'M
1oossible anywhere else in the country

AVERAGE Ration For Dairy Cows.

According to Professor Beach. the
combined knowledge of feeding the
dairy COW may be boiled down to a
fixed set of rules. as follows:
The more food the COW can be in
duced to eat the more milk she will
produce Cows do not usually con-
sumo more food than they can proper
ly digest The ration, therefore. should
be made as palatable as possible in
order to induce the COW to eat larger
quantities.
The larger the amount of protein in
the ration the larger the milk flow.
Protein in the ration is essential to the
production of milk.
The less energy required to digest
the ration the larger the milk flow.
The richer the ration the richer the
manure. The dairy farmer must look
here for large portion of his profit.
No two cows can be fed alike. Each
must be studied separately. Increase
the protein in the ration and watch
the milk flow.

Preparing Wool For Market.

Many farmers. says wool buyer.
are losing up to cents a pound in
their wool by not paying attention in
preparing it for market There are
cases where it might just as well be
put into hole with pitchfork and
trodden down. Practically everything
goes in together-feece, bellies, locks,
tags, short and long staple, fine and
coarse. Merino and crossbred. Now
what can a buyer make out Of this?
How can be tell the proportions of
each in a bale? The consequence is
that only a low value all around can
be risked. and many buyers win not
bid for it at all.

HOUSE FOR GRAIN.
Rat and Mouse Proof For Storage
Purposes.

Rat and Mouse Proof For Storage
Purposes.
A well built and handily arranged
granary is without doubt one of the
most necessary buildings on the farm.
The grain house shown in the illustra-
tions herewith has many advantages.
1t is rat and mouse proof and has am
pie storage room for farm implements.
The grain may be loaded from the
bins to the wagon without any labor.
and the interior arrangement is such
that it is not possible for grain to heat
and mold or become sour.
The building may, of course. be built
any size. The six posts that carry the
structure in the drawing, which pro-
vides for building 20 by 36 feet
square. are by inches square and
twenty feet long. sat on good solid

foundation of stone or cement with
an iron pin in each post. The end sills
and also the center girder are by 10
inches square. The spaces between
the bents are filed in with 2 by 10
inch floor timbers set twelve inches
on centers. The floors should be six
inch matched lumber and well sea-
soned
The building is framed and braced
by by 6 studding set twenty-four
inches on centers around the entire
building.
The open space below is seven feet
in the clear and may be inclosed on
two sides. as shown, or the front may
be filed in with doors and the remain
ing three sides boarded up tight, or if
desired all four sides may be left open.
The first floor is reached by swing
ing ladder or step that may be hooked
to the floor timbers when not in use.
A permanent stair should be built
from the first to the second floor and
located in one end.
The outer walls are covered with
matched lumber and this in turn COW
cred with drop siding or boarded up
and down and battened. The inner
walls are left bare to avoid having any
hiding places for rats or mice, and if
one should chance to get in dog or
cat could easily catch it.
The bins are made seven feet high
at the rear, six at the front and six or
seven feet wide.
The floor is .sloping, as shown, and
the bins should set some distance from
the wall. The popularity of these
bins is in the ventilation. Two three
inch galvanized iron pipes are placed
as shown, one at the bottom and one
about the center. The pipes have one

Test Each Cow Separately.

There is no easier way to find out
the accurate production of each COW
than to weigh and test the milk of
each separately. This method is found
simple and practical by those who
have tried it. and their common YER
dict is that they receive much better
pay for this than any other labor done
on the farm.
The measure of milk will indicate
its weight fairly well, but to be OF
value the measure must be exact, and
it is much easier to weigh the milk
than to measure it. Some may think
they can estimate what COW gives
by noting how high up the milk comes
in the pail. but this is nothing more
than guessing and is far more liable
to be wrong than even approximately
right The froth usually prevents see
ing where the milk comes on the side
of the pail. and as the froth varies in
thickness at different times and with
different cows it is very apt to deceive
the guesser.

Prolific Fields.

Perhaps the hardest point for the
unprofessional man to understand is
that two fields of soil may look alike,
but one will yield seyenty-five bushels
of corn and the other nineteen. This
very example may be seen at the Ur-
bana (O) experiment farm, where one
field has been grown to corn exclusive
" for thirty years without manure or
fertilizer of any kind Last year it
gave up less than nineteen bushels to
the acre. Not ten rods away, with
everything else the same. over seven
ty-five bushels to the acre were har-
vested, only because the necessary
plant food had been replaced in the
form of stable manure. etc, and be-
cause rotation had been practiced,
using clover as one of the crops in the
rotation scheme.

BREEDING DRAF TIERS.
How It Might Be Taken Up by Farm

erS SuSCeSSTutty.
In my mind. says breeder, the best
horse breeding proposition for the farm
er is this: Let dozen or a score of
farmers organize and by a majority
vote decide which one of the draft
breeds they prefer, then each put in

taker and president as a committee.
Then let every man sell what horses
he possesses and. if needs be, borrow
the money and purchase team of
pure bred mares of this breed. They
will do all the farm work and yearly
raise a pair of colts which at three
years old can be put to work and
earn their keep. and at four the best
will bring top prices in our city mar
kets or may be sold for breeding pur-
poses, while all seconds will find a
ready market nearer home.
Let terms of service be reasonable,
but not too low. and charge members
and nonmembers alike. Before many
years such a community would find its
market at home. Buyers would come
to them. and then they could enjoy that
privilege which rarely comes to the
farmer-viz. putting their own price
on their own goods.

Investigation.

Washington, Sept. 11.-As a result
Of the investigation into the death of
Private Coulter, Of the 18th United
States infantry near Fort Mcpherson,
Ca, the army board which carried on
the investigation has reported to the
war department that his death was
the result Of his own misconduct and
not in the line Of duty.
In view Of the boards findings,
Coulter's heirs are not entitled to the

While causing a disturbance in a

three weeks ago while attempting to
escape, it is said. from a patrol which
had been sent to get him and three
other soldiers. Private ELAN, one of

Coulter while he was attempting to
flee, death being instantaneous.
