ference with Secretary Of War Dick
inson recently on the subject Of the
tariff on importations Of rice from the
Philippines 1t was agreed that when
rice shall be imported into the United
States from the Philippines free of
duty under the tariff act, the president
shall by an executive order impose a
duty on rice coming into the Philip
pines from any foreign country equal
in amount to the duty on rice entering
the United States from foreign coun-
tries. This contingency is not likely
to occur In the near future. The Phil
ippines instead OF exporting rice into

PRESERVATION OF EGGS.

Bulletin No. IS Of Agricultural Ex-
perimental station, Storrs, Conn. has
this to say OF the preservation Of eggs:
In view of the fact that eggs are in
fected by reason of the diseased con-
dition of the hens, the following pre-
cautions should be taken. Keep the
flock in as perfect state Of health as
possible. Give enough shell-forming
food that the shells will be strong and
uniform in thickness. Make proper
nesting places and keep the straw
clean. Gather the eggs each day.
Keep them in a cool, dry room, and
never where the sun can shine on
them. Use only clean eggs. Preserve
within twenty-four hours after being
laid. OF the liquid preservatives water
glass stands first. Preserve the April,
May and June eggs. The eggs laid In
these months keep longest because
the fewest bacteria that decompose
the egg are present. In using the
eggs, use the June eggs first as these
are not so free from bacteria as the
May and April. Use the April last as
the April eggs are nearly free from
bacteria. July, August and Septem.
Der eggs are full Of bacteria and do
not keep SO long in any preventative
as the first named months. Good
eggs of these months will keep in
water glass for four years. and while
the white may be slightly watery and
pinkish in color, the egg when cooked
will taste as though laid but the other
day.

FEEDING FOR BEEF
SKILL Is REQUIRED TO FORCE
GROWTH OF YOUNG ANIMALS.
Difficulties Of This Branch Of the
Business Are Many-lmproper
Care Sure to Result In Fl
nanciaI Loss.

While the tendency is to force ami
mails intended for meat consumption
tn early maturity, 1t is not the only
profitable branch in the meat indus
try. Feeders that make a specially
OF supplying the market with long
yearlfngs commence feeding opera
lions even before the calf Is weaned.
1t Is important that the flesh made
while nursing its dam should be main
tanned to accentuate the rapid growth
Of the young animal.
The profitable development Of
young beef animals depends on the
Intelligence and skill OF the farmer,
and the inexperienced feeder had bet
ter eschew the industry of making
baby beef as a commercial product,
says a writer in the Chicago Drovers'
Journal This department of hus-
bandry demands special education in
the art OF forcing the growth Of young
animals to achieve success in the en-
terprise. The difficulties to be sur
mounted in feeding youngsters for
the shambles are not to be ignored
or underestimated. The feeder stands
a better chance to attain success who
raises his beef calves than does the
farmer who purchases calves of the
beef breeds. The fat calf is indispen-
sable to develop into yearling beef
product. 1t must be fed to stimulate
symmetrical growth and to lay on
flesh rapidly. The calf while nursing
must be educated to eat grain ration
that there may be no check of rapid
growth after the youngster is weaned.
The calf should be encouraged to eat
clover. alfalfa and silage while nur-
sing its dam.
The calf should be taught to drink
from . pail which contains milk,
and after It has learned to drink 1t
can be fed oatmeal Cruel and milk.
In the intermediate stage preceding
weaving 1t can be taught to eat oat-
meal. linseed meal and q small guam
4ity Of bran. Concentrated calf meal
can be obtained at animal food
houses. which will encourage the
growing process of the youngster. To
make a yearling beef 1t must be kept
fat and growing rapidly from calfhood
until offered as premium beef on the
market.
1t 10 only the feeder who has had
experience In this branch of animal
industry that knows the difficulty Of
feeding q calf successfully to long
yearling beef. The combination Of
rapid growth and symmetrical meat
development Is task that few feed
ers have achieved. Only calves of de-
veloped beef breeds can be finished
for the block In their yearling form
as market toppeers. The quality Of
the feed to finish baby beef is more
expensive than for mature animals,
but the increase in weight is more
rapid and the market price higher for
the younger animal to compensate for
the increased cost of the feed. With
the proper individual calf it pays to
make baby beef, while an undesirable
calf may be fed at a financial loss.

GET RID OF BARREN STALKS.
BY So Doing You Eliminate Factor
That So Materially Reduces
Corn Yield.

A close study of the corn plant has
shown that large per cent. of barren
stalks is found in the average corn
field. Investigation into the cause OF
this barrenness has demonstrated that
pollen from stalks that did not produce
an ear, although effective In fertilizing
power, produced grain that In turn re-
suited in barren stalks. This having
been determined, 1t is only necessary
to destroy the tassels of barren stalks
In order to eliminate the factor that
so materially reduces the corn yield.
The result In cutting out these
stalks has been even more gratifying
than could have been expected. for 1t
has now been conclusively proved that
1t is possible to grow q crop Of corn
with practically no barren stalks. Not
only this, but 1t is within the power Of
the average farmer to accomplish this
for himself without outside assistance.
In order to do 1t the seed from one
ear should be placed in one row. We
will suppose for example that 20 Of the
best ears that can be found are planted
separately in 20 rows In small patch
by themselves. This takes little
extra time of course, but there are few
operations on the farm that will pay
bigger profits on mans time. These
20 rows should be given little atten-
ton when they are tasseling, in order
to eliminate the tassels from barren
stalks, as has been mentioned. At
the end of the season, by husking out
one row at time. 1t is possible to
ascertain which was the best seed ear
sown.
From the best row of the 20, seed
may again be selected for part Of the
crop the following year, while the 20
rows will probably furnish seed for
the entire crop. By cultivating few
special rows each year. such as those
described, a gradual Improvement In
corn can be made. This method will
within a reasonable period greatly
affect the yield per acre. and 1t would
not be an extravagant statement to say
that in many cases 1t is possible to
double the yield, even with the aver

PIGS THAT ARE IN DEMAND.

The pig that will weigh from 200
to 325 pounds seems to cover the
greatest quantity for which the de-
mand is best. The farmer is looking
for the pig that he can produce at
the cheapest price, the one that can
convert the largest amount Of plant
food into pork, with portion Of a
grain ration to keep the flesh hard
ened and then, perhaps, finish OF with
two weeks heavy corn feeding. and do
this at the least cost.

FEEDING ENGLISH CATTLE.

Cattle are fattened on grass in all
parts of England. but only where the
rents are low or the lands are swampy
and grass is abundant. Many cattle
are kept on grass and cake until they
are half fat before putting them in the
stables or yard for winter feeding.
While on grass cattle are fed small
quantities of cake, the limit being
about four or five pounds per day.

the purpose are now within attractive
