Keeping Eggs in Winter.

From the many methods advocated
for keeping eggs the water glass test
is undoubtedly the most satisfactory
one part water glass added to nine
parts soft water, previously boiled and
cooled.
Place in clean jar and add eggs
that you are confident are strictly
fresh and not Clipped or cracked.
| could tell you Il whole chapter
about one spoiled egg in a jar con
tanning thirty dozen good eggs.
Don't crowd them and leave at least
three inches of liquid at the top Of
the vessel.
We have found. to pack only linn
tied number, that if placed in oats,
small end down, a layer of oats and
layer of eggs, and when the box
is full lid placed on and the box
turned every day, the eggs keep well.
They are not fresh eggs, OF course,
nor should they be sold as such.

A Big lob on Hand.

From no quarter in New York has
come any definite information that the
gas companies contemplate immediate
opposition to the decision of the United
States supreme court, which holds the
S0-cent law constitutional, therefore it
was accepted generally that the $4,000
600 deposited with the companies by
United States Commissioner Shields in
the last two years will be distributed
among consumers as soon as the clerical
machinery for such distribution can be
established. On all hands it was admitted
that the task of strengthening out the
100000 accounts Of individual consum-
ers. giving to each his proper share Of
the rebate fund, was one that would
require considerable time, and in the
end it is believed that very large frac-
ton Of the 100000 will remain UNI
claimed. What is TO be done with tina I
is one of the several questions still TO
be decided probably in the courts. Dur
ing the litigation Judge Alton Il. Par
ker stated that probably not more than
one-half of all the consumers would ever
present claims. Commissioner Shields
said the payment of the S9,OOOOOO
would begin as soon as the official man
date was given by the court That, lie
said. would be within a month.

Value of Corn Fodder.

While it is a we'll known fact that
the fodder Of corn has n feeding value
almost equal to the corn itself, 1t is
not practicable TO utilize it fully. The
best that we can do is to save about
three-fourths Of its actual feeding
value 1t is true that one may save
fully 90 per cent of the bulk of its
value, but at that he may be able to
save only rs per cent of its feeding
value.
The corn harvester is absolutely es-
sential in the economy of the fodder
saving. The scarcity of farm labor
makes the cost Of saving fodder in
the old way entirely too expensive,
and this Ia where the corn harvester
shows It's value
1t is a simple effective machine and
can easily be handled by the ordinary
farm hand. 1t IS quite the equal of
the modern selG-binder for grain and
there is no machine on the farm that
will prove to be Il better investment
1t IS great mistake to allow any
Of the corn crop to go to waste. After
all the work Of planting and cultiva-
ton the crop it is poor business to al
low any OF the fodder to escape BY
the use OF the corn harvester the husk'
er and shredder fully 30 per ent or
the bulk of the fodder can be saved
and 1t will pay to the proportion OF
labor expended as well as any crop

Crop Rotation.

In order that we may maintain the
supply of humus and thus preserve the
fertility Of the soil. It Is essential that
on all tillable lands that we adopt a
rotation of crops A much larger pro.
portion Of our land should be in perma-
nent pasture. 1t is easy for farmer
to adopt a rotation on the portion Of
his land that Is under tillagc, but the
adoption OF rotation necessarily in

grasses which form 50 essential a part
Of the rotation. Growing and feeding
live stock will avail but little unless
the manure is carefully saved, both LID

Live stool, nna, Fertility.

As a rule, the best farming is done
where some form of live stock grow
Ing and feeding is being practiced;
however, it is not correct to say that
fertility can not be maintained without
live stock. The matter Of maintaining
soil fertility by the use Of legume crops,
aided by mineral fertilizers used to in
crease the growth of these crops. is
possible, although as q general propo-
Sition it Is not profitable.
- Ii is not the fertility alone which
live stock brings to the farm, but the
organic matter which their presence
brings to the soil. In addition TO the
humus and plant food contained in
stable manure there are present Ger
tain bacteria that assist in the work Of
making the plant food contained in the
manure available to the growing plants
After completing their work of max
ing the plant food in the manure avail
able to the plants, they seize and con
tinuc their work Of nitrihcation as long
rs conditions are favorable.
This explains why Il small applica-
ton Of manure to certain soils will
produce results far beyond the actual
fcrtilizing value OF the manure that is
used Another point in favor Of live
stock growing and feeding is the fact
that all rational plans of maintaining
soil fertility depend upon growing
crops in the rotation that are adapted
for animal feeding.
There are many live stock growers
and feeders who are not Keeping the

Oryille Wright Goes to Paris.

Orville Wright left New York on the

WHAT AILS OUR FARMS?
Chiefly, Say the Experts, the Greed OF
the Farmers.


| In the closing decade of the last cen
fury the land values of Ohio shrank
| SG0,0UU,UC0. In Minnesota, the great
wheat state, the average yield an acre
has dropped one bushel in the last i've
years. In Kansas the retrogresslon Is
even more marked.
! The census report gives the average
! annual product an acre of all the farms
| in the United States as worth Sll.oS
| This figure, poor as it is, must owe Il
great deal to the newly opened terri
tories, for the great agricultural states
| of Minnesota and Illinois fell consider
! ably below it.
With the most fertile land in the
world, says the Craftsman, we are pro-
ducing much less than other peoples eX-
tract from lands of poorer quality and
| longer subsection to filth. During the
ten years ending with 1906 we raised
! thirteen and tiye-tenths bushels OF wheat
| to the acre. In Austria and hungary
| the average was seventeen bushels; IN
! France it was nineteen and elght-tenths;
| in Germany, twenty-seven and six-
tenths: and in the United Kingdom,
thirty-two and two-tenths bushels. The
| figures for barley, oats and other crops
show the same contrast.
As an illustration of what can be done
here under intensive farming, 1t may be
stated that in Yellowstone county, Mon
tana, the following yields an acre have
been secured: Wheat, SO bushels, oats.
1853 bushels, and potatoes, 1913 bushels,
while 1920 tons of alfalfa have been
grown on 200 acres.
The impoverishment of our lands has
been brought about in the main by sin
gle cropping and the neglect of fertiliza-
ton. Almost everywhere in the country
it has been the practice of our farmers
to select the crop which promised the
best immediate return and to plant their
| fields in it year after year without rest
or change, and in spite of the protests
of scientists and the demonstrations of
agricultural colleges and experiment sta
| tons.
Whereas arabic land should under
| proper treatment grow richer and more
| bountiful year by year, our agricultural
acres are deteriorating SO fast that the
owner derives from them an annual in
come equal to no more than what would
be a moderate rental if they were in
ordinary condition and properly culti-
waited,

Money Is to Invest In Western
Canada.
Deep down in the nature Of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a well-known truth. The ques-
ton is, Where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices? and this the
same writer points out in the same
article The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting create"
possibilities than any other part of the
American Continent TO the man who
is inclined to TIL the soil for liveli-
hood and possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer. and when fair
~ analysed the conclusion is reached
that no matter what personal interest
the writer may have had his reasons
appear to have the quality of great
sOundness The climatic conditions Of
Western Canada are fully as good as
those of Minnesota. the Dakotas or
Iowa, the productiveuCSS of the soil is
