Helping the Farmer.

In an important interview with Gift
ford Pinchot, the government forester,
and a member of the Country Life
Commission, recently appointed by Mr..
Roosevelt, given to Edward |. Far
rington, the following points are elab-
Grated:
The things which the Country Life
Commission desires to do, above all
else, is to make the fact plain that
there is a tremendous problem before
the American farmer to-day.
The things which must be secured
for the farmer are better farming ma
terials, better business and better
living The commission is concerned
with the two latter.
Everything which has to do with
making farm life efficient and pleas
ant will receive particular attention,
for this is one of the most important
of all agricultural problems.
The commission will make no at
tempt to impose anything on the farm
er, to dictate to him, or to carry pa
ternalism to an Objectionable degree
The facts are to be assembled in as
complete a form as possible and placed
before the farmer in logical order.

Feeding Milk Cows.

Milk contains water, fat, protein
(casein and curd), sugar and ash, and
these are all made from the constitu
ents of the food If sufficient protein,
fat and carbohydrates are not con-
tanned in the food given her, the COW
supplies this deficiency for time by
drawing on her own body, and gradu-
ally begins to shrink in quantity and
quality of milk, or both The stingy
feeder cheats himself as well as the
COW. She may suffer from hunger.
although she is full of swale and hay,
but she also becomes poor and does
not yield the milk and butter she
should. Her milk glands are wond-
erful machine. but they cannot make
milk casein (curd) out of the constitu-
ents in coarse, unappetizing. indiges-
tible swale hay or sawdust any more
than the farmer himself can make but
ter from skim milk. She must not
only have generous supply of good
food, but it must contain sufficient
amounts of the nutrients needed for
making milk Until this fact is un-
derstood and appreciated, successful.
profitable dairying is out Of the ques-
ton. Many forcible illustrations of its
truthfulness have been furnished by
the agricultural experiment stations

Curing meat for future consumption
is one of the annual jobs on the farm
In some sections of the country, says
the Journal of Agriculture, the prob
lem of sailing down meat is a serious
one because of the heat. In sections
of the South there are winters when
there is very little cold weather and
it is not until late that hogs may be
slaughtered. Here is a recipe which is
said to be good one: For 1000
pounds of meat take ten quarts of salt
peter, / pound of pepper and pounds
of yellow sugar. Mix well, put in
tub or some suitable vessel, and then
apply the mixture well to the meat.
This is said to be the most success
full method of salting meat there is,
both from a standpoint of purity and
flavor

Nitrogen.

WSile visiting a practical farmer a
few weeks ago he said that VIII, RE
everything was fed out on the ia IN
and the manure returned to the soil 1t
should grow richer instead Of poorer
and that Furthermore there was less
connected with the farm when it was
conducted on these principles than
when the system was varied from year
to year.
One thing is certain, the growing
and feeding of live stock on the farms
comnels the growth Of crops to feed
that are best adapted for the prouur.
tion Of flesh and animal products
Prominent among these crops are clov-
er, alfalfa and the other nitrogen gath
ering plants that possess a high feed
ing value and are relished by animals
ON account Of their palatability.
We cannot too often repeat the
fact that the farmers who follow a
short crop rotation. in which a legumn
is grown every third year, need not
worry about maintaining an adequate
supply or nitrogen, providing he reeds
these crops to live stock and saves
the manure. both liquid and solid, and
returns it to the soil. When nitrogen
Gus grain foods are purchased and
fed to the animals in connection with
the home grown foods the increase in
nitrogen is still Agricultural
Epitomist.

Quarter Crack.

This is one of the most serious trou-
bles with which we have to contend In
our dry climate. When a crack ap-
pears it is a difficult matter to bring
down the new growth of sound hoof
without firing and blistering, so that
prevention is all important. There is
no need to cut out the sole or open
the heels, as 1t Is called. The frog
and heels should be left absolutely
alone, and they cannot be too well de-
veloped. The sole will take care of
itself. for nature exfoliates dead horn
as required. Keep the wall rounded
at the ground surface, the toe short
and the frog prominent, and with few
exceptions horses will come through all
right.-Field and Farm.

| Poultrymen estimate that it costs
cent apiece to produce an egg. The
estimate is based on the fact that the
hen lays 120 eggs in the year. In other
words, where the fowls are confined to
| runs. and the feed must be purchased,
Eit costs 10 cents a month or $1.20
Year to maintain a hen. If the hen is
an Indifferent layer and gives but sixty
eggs i'll Il year. her eggs cost the poul-
uyman cents each.
An experiment conducted by theyCor-
nell experiment station in 1902 showed
that the average cost of feed for a
dozen eggs was 90 cents, or about "a
Of cent an egg. The cost for each
hen for the year was 99.6 cents. At
that time wheat was sold at Sl.4o
hundred pounds, While ut the present
time it is 50; bran sold at $1.3o a hum
dred pounds and it is now $50; and
meat scraps cost SID a hundred
pounds and now we pay $2.40 So at
the present increased price of feed,
the cost of feeding the hen is easily,
20 cents Il year more than it was in
1902
To make poultry profitable on the
. farm it is necessary to breed for bet
ter laying. This is done by installing
trap nests in the henhouses, and each
year picking out the best layers and
breeding only from such. The farmer
must grade up his. stock. He must
get rid of the mongrel birds; he must
drive out the drones, and must encour-
age the workers. The farm must pro-
duce better poultry and more of it.
There are advantages on the farm
for poultry raising that the poultry
man does not have, and if the latter,
in many ways handicapped, can make
poultry keeping successful business.
the farmer should at least make the
work a valuable adjunct to his in
come. Properly managed poultry can
be made the most profitable crop on
the farm-investment, expense and
labor considered.
1t is argued by some farmers that
their hens cost them practically moth
ing, as they have free range and can
gather all the food they need. There
is some truth in that, and there also
is some truth in the fact that farm
ers focks seldom yield a profit COM

Work Hour. of Farmers.

Professor Boss, of the Minnesota
Agricultural College, says that statis-
tics of the actual hours of labor on the
farms investigated show that farmers
work nine hours day in summer and
between four and five in winter. Pro-
fessor Bailey, of the Farm Life Com
mission, tells the story of the school
ma'am working from 8 to 4 until she
married a farmer, and had to work
from 4 to 8. Moral, schoolma ans

Preserving MIX.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of a small guam
tity of ferrous carbonate. The process
Is based on the fact that freshly-pre-
cipitated ferrous carbonate in the pres
ence of oxygen Immediately assimilates
oxygen and evolves an equivalent
quantity of carbon dioxide. One part
of ferrous carbonate is sufficient for
10000 parts milk, and the properties
of the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should be made
before the milk is boiled.
