Money in Dairyinq.

The new year book of the United
States Department of Agriculture
values the total OF all farm products
for the year 1907 at nearly seven and
one-haif billion dollars. OF this total
the dairy products amounted to eight
hundred million dollars. This. next
to the corn crop, was the largest OF
any one crop, and was equal to one
third of all the cereals produced II
will be seen that the dairy products
OF our nation are no small item in
making up the national wealth, II In
addition to this the value of the by
products in the manure secured and
the calves and hogs produced without
extra expense, there would be no
trouble in showing that the dairy COW
is easily our greatest wealth-produc-
ing factor. Dairying when properly
conducted not only takes less from
the soil, but is becoming universally
recognized as the greatest agent
known for restoring the lost fertility
to run down and WORKOUT farms.

Whitewash Saves Peaches.

The warm days of late February
and early March often cause the buds
on peach trees to swell and they are
then killed by low temperature It
has been demonstrated by careful ex-
pertinent with thermometers covered
with purple and white cloths that the
former registered from 10 to 20 de
grees higher than those covered with
white This demonstrates the reason
why the peach buds start to swell
with the first warm days. 1t is the
sun heat that they absorb. TO avoid
this, white wash the trees They will
need two sprayings to cover them
thoroughly. Ordinary whitewash will
not remain on the trees any length
of time, but by using one part of skim
milk to four parts of water in the
wash, and then adding pound of salt
to each bucketful before spraying it
can be made to stick for several
weeks.

Lime on Alfalfa.

If you have tried to raise alfalfa
and after making a good seed-bed,
sowing good seed. and doing your
part well have failed, then try lime.
Alfalfa demands an alkaline soil.
1t f1ourishes best where there is nat
ural lime in the soil Where those lit
tie stones of lime that are soft on the
outside when you pow them out are
found in the field you can depend
upon it that there will be lime enough
there to grow alfalfa.
But where soils are deficient in nat
ural lime then it must be applied in
artificial form. It works wonders and
solves many a problem in alfalfa
growing

Care of the YOUNG Horse.

Work with young horses intended
for next seasons work while you have
time this winter Halter and stall
them, groom them daily and harness
them frequently SO that they become
accustomed 10 your working with
them. 1t requires time for the young
horse to find out many things required
CT it in regular work If it is first
taught the feel of the halter and har
ness there will be less of it to think
about when it is hitched up for work.
A well-broken horse is worth much
more than one poorly broken. In sell
ing the horse that is the first inquiry
of the buyer.

Stealing March on the Bugs.

Millions of dollars of damage is
done every year in this country by
insect pests. One of the worst of
these is the San Jose scale, a small
soft-bodied insect which affiXes itself
TO the tree and sucks the juices, while
injecting poison which speedily re-
suits in the trees death. According
to H. II. Howlands, who writes in
Suburban Life, this is the time of the
year when the owners of trees should
steal a march on the bugs" and so
save many dollars worth of fruit.
There are several solutions that can
be sprayed on the tree which will
kill the scale. The best are lime
sulphur wash and soluble oils. both
of which may be obtained from deal

Sorghum.

We doubt il enough attention is
paid in the South to the growing CT
sorghum Those who use molasses
cannot find more healthful article
than good sorghum molasses. and the
demand always exceeds the supply
IN any grocery or provision store one
may find manufactured syrups nicely
freely at good prices These manu-
featured syrups are nothing like as
good as is pure sorghum molasses.
Hundreds of small factories might
be proftab1y established all over the
region mentioned that would give
employment to thousands of people
make an easily grown farm product
profitable and furnish a who esome
article of food. All that is required
is enterprise enough to put the arti
Gle up in attractive style-in gallon
buckets like the manufactured syrup
is put up.
And there is no better food for cat.
tie and sheep than sorghum fodder,
if it is we'll cured This is thought
TO be difficult thing to do, but we
are sure there is ingenuity enough
among farmers to devise a way to dc
so jrofitably. The seed is another
valuable side line Sorghum seed is
now quoted in the market at S14O
per hundred pounds. Besides there
IS scarcely any better poultry food
and 1t is understood 10 be a good
feed for hogs
There is another by-product well
worth mentioning, and that is the
s'ummings from the boiling juice: il
is an excellent and strong fat produc-
ing slop for hogs. And we believe
though we have not tried it. that ii
would be valuable with which to mix
ground feed for fattening cattle.
Sorghum for syrup should not be
grown on the MANFRED land, nor on
rich bottom lands. 1t grows uxuri.
andy in such soils. but the mo asses
made from it is sure to be dark, and
not of such good quality as that made

If the creamery centralziers claim
that it costs them six cents to produce
creameries claim that they can pro
duce a like amount for three cents,
why not establish more cooperative
creameries? Cooperative creameries
are paying propositions when run
right, but don't let some promoter
come into your community and try
TO start cooperative creamery. You
will be the loser If you do.

Do not think that because you do
not have running water on your place
that you cannot keep ducks success

a mighty nice thing and less trouble,
in raising ducks, yet some of the

THE ADVERTISER AND THE col

There are white people who
never advertise through coIored
papers. never give colored PEG.
pie any employment and do not
even solicit their trade, and yet
colored people who are forever
theorizng and planning will go
there instead of going to the
places that advertise, and men
ton the Cause of SO doing. Some
colored peop,e never advertise
their own business, never pay
for a colored paper, and yet they
imagine what the colored paper
should be aud should do. Sup
pose you people go tie LUZ,
Peter Myers, Newman, and all
the people VINO advertise, and
mention TO the proprietors, why
you have come, you will then do
a real mission. II takes money
to run business week in and

Not a small piltance quarterly,
there must be business every
week. Colored peop.e are too
backward in advertisng-every
business should be brought IN
constant touch with the people;
run price list occasionally and
drop one cent or one half cen,
below the general run, make up
on the quantity sold. We have

one ever advertses. a goodly
number of colored people know
not that we have an undertaken.
There are various businesses run

A PORTION OF THE COURT
OF HONOR

Special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
The aska-Yukon-Pacific eXposi-
ton at Seattle promises to be
unique in at least one respect; it
will be ready to open on time.
June 1 is the date of opening, and
the exposition is now 80 per cent
finished
Most of the buildings are en-
tirely completed, the whole system
of electric lighting is installed and
has been tested. and the managers
say that it would be possible to
begin receiving the people in May
with grounds in perfect condition,
flowers in bloom and most of the
exhibits in place.
The Alaska-Y expo
sition has no subsidy from the
government. The government has
appropriated 100000 to make a
showing of the industries and
products of Alaska and the Ha-
| waian islands, but since the fiasco
at jamestown and the failure to
get back any of the million dol
lars lent to that enterprise, con-
gress will be little more cautious
about handing out money to eX-
positions.
The people of Seattle have con-
tributed most of the money for
the exposition. while the state of
Washington has levied a tax so
that each county contributes, and
several neighboring states have
also subscribed Altogether, 500
100000 is invested in buildings.
Considerable rivalry has been
established between Japan and

be well represented. The princi-
pal purpose of the exposition, how
ever, is to bring to the attention
of the world the commercial
wealth and opportunities of Alas
ka. Big exhibits will be displayed
showing the mining. and particu-
larly the copper, wealth of Alaska
while the salmon industry and the
lumber will also be properly eX-
plotted.
