Scientific research has done great
things for agriculture. A striking
Illustration OF this Is found In the
sugar beet. whose sugar content has
within a remarkably brief period OF
time been increased from i3,5 per cent

IL Is always best to feed the calves
by hand because one knows just what
they are getting and how much. II Is

II Is a great mistake TO sell whole
milk of the farm. for where the skim
milk Is not kept to feed TO the stock

the cream. feed the skim milk TO the

Under our present methods there Is
entirely too much waste and careless
ness in the handling OF wool clips. In
the first place much wool Is shorn
In a reckless manner. The shearers'
entire endeavor Is to fleece the wool
and leave from n TO two pounds on
the sleeps back. thereby unconscious
ly d~epreciating the value OF the fleece.
In the second place the wool Is COL
leoed, tied In bundles and placed
In bags regardless Of grade. texture or
general character. A little attention
to this particular feature OF our In
dustry would have a tendency 10 In

the ieeces Is to send them to a scour.
ing mill. II marketed while still
filled with burs the loss Is from 3 to
I cents a pound. A securing mill will
take out all OF these burs by the car
bombing process. which costs 2 cents

After the process the heeces are put
upon the market as secured wool and
bring good prices.-Denver Field and
