Clean Farming Profitable.


Honest, now, don't you like to see
q farm kept clean of all unnecessary
trash and the fields clean of weeds
1t really adds to the worth Of the
farm. In the eyes of the man passing
by it Is a better farm than the one
beside it of equal soil, though weed
grown and brushy.
A great many folks pay no atten-
ton to the roadsides. Where hedge
is the outside fence, we have seen
hedge brush grow from roots that had
been exposed by road grading, until
travel had actually been turned to
the opposite because of 1t. This
doesn't speak very we'll for the care
fulness of the farmer. Of course there
Is always so much to do on a farm
that some of 1t never gets done-any
one who has farmed for as short a
time as one year knows this-but the
time required to do a little cleaning
up Is really shorter than a busy man
believes. 1t is getting started at the
work that comes hardest The excuse
Of the man who does not have a clean
looking farm is usually that he does
not care about selling, and it Is worth
as much to him that way as any. He
does not figure in anything for salts
faction.-Farmers' Mail and Express.

Ritter Milk.

Bitter milk may originate from TWO
sources. The first source is dependent
upon the COW, while the second IS que
to the growth Of bacteria IN the MIN
after it has been drawn. The diner
ence between these two classes OF plt'
ter milk is that the first has de-
cidedly acid taste when freshly drawn
while the second class is sweet wnen
taken from the cow, but the bitterness
occurs after standing for short time
and increases In intensity. Bltter
milk when produced in the udder may
result from improper feeding Win

Bitter milk may be observed during

Conversation of Bees.

In an article on bees and ants by
CASTOR Bouwer in the Revue Heb
domadaire the writer contends that
these insects carry on conversation
among themselves and that, while this
is done by means Of their feelers, they
are not entirely dependent upon them.
"A whole colony" says Mr.. Bouwer,
lin an anthouse or a beehive often
responds instantaneously to a signal
which may have been given without
contact. 1t is interesting to see an
ant laborer for whom a burden is too
heavy 60 to a fellow, make a sign or
give certain touch with his feeler.
and then see the second insect Join
the first in lifting or moving the OBJ
ject."

Pure Water by Condemnation.

In the big desert of Chilli there is
a considerable amount of brackish
water. but no water that either human
beings or stock can drink. Science,
however, says the Los Angeles Times,
has come to the aid of this rainless
section of the country in the form
of an ingenious desert waterworks,
consisting of a series of frames con-
tanning 10000 square feet of glass.
The panes of glass are arranged in
the shape of a V, and under each
pane Is shallow pan containing
brackish water. The heat of the sun
evaporates the water. which condenses
upon the sloping glass, and, made
pure by this operation, 1t runs down
into little channels at the bottom of
the V and is carried away into the
main canal. Nearly a thousand gal
Ions of fresh water is collected daily
by this means.

A Tseful Bird.

A family of barn owls will NUMBER
from three to seven birds. 1t Is Gill
cult to believe what lot OF vermln
and rodents family Of owls will con-
sumo An old owl will capture as
much or more food than a
dozen cats in a night. Inc
owlets are always hungry. They
will eat their weight in food every
night and more if they can get
it. A case is on record in which
half grown owl was given all the mice
it could eat. 1t swallowed eight one
right after another. The ninth fol-
lowed all but the tail, which for some
time hung out of the birds mouth.
The rapid digestion of birds of prey
is shown by the fact that In three
hours the little glutton was ready for
a second meal and swallowed four
more mice. If this can be done by
single bird what effect must a whole
family of owls have on the rodents of
a community?

ScOurs in Pigs.

The following remedy for securing
in pigs is recommended by a veterin-
airy surgeon: Wash their feed troughs
thoroughly with hot water and soap.
Rinse with cold water and then wash
with soda and water. Do this every
morning. Their milk should be kept
as cool as possible and free from con.
Eliminating influences. Discontinue
their run on grass. Put a little DOW
dered sulphate copper in the water
they drink-not over two or three
grains to each pig.

What a Good Cow VIII Make.
The milk produced by the average
Missouri cow in a year will sell for
about $50 at the creamery or when
made into first-class butter. A good
cow of the dairy breed will make at
least $50 cash income every year. I
have a list of about fifty Missouri
farmers who report cash income of
$50 to 500 cow every year, and
these figures do not include the in
come from the sale of calves, and pigs
fed on the skim-milk. But" says one,
milking is a tremendous task" AS
a matter of fact, it takes only sixty
hours, worth Is cents an hour, to
milk a cow twice a day for ten
months.

THE VANDERBILT RACE
Vanderbilt Says That the New Rules
Will Make it Best Ever -.

New York, Oct. 2S-"This years
Vanderbilt cup race will be the best,
ming, stated that there have. been
ever held in this country" said w. K.
Vanderbilt. Jr., today after he had
watched some of the trial spins pre-
paratory to Saturdays events, and
had made two circuits of the course
in his own machine at fast clip.
The altering of the conditions of
the race so that only stock cars will
compete this year, is, in my opinion,
a distinct advance. Under the new
rules, | think the contest will show
that the American built car is now on
even terms with the foreign machine.
My original idea, when ! presented
the cup for competition way back in
1904. was 10 develop the product of
the American manufacture and put us
on a level with the foreign makers.
For years France led the world in the
of automobiles largely
because of the information which
their makers gained through road ra-
ces. Now the American builder is be-
ginning to show them"

SALTWATER
Because an Automobile Went
Over an Embankment
KILLING VIM. S. NICHOLSON
Because There Was No Ratings or
Warnings the Town is Held to
Be Liable

Troy, Oct 2S.-Mrs. Elizabeth NJ.
Nicholson of 21O State street, Albany
was yesterday awarded a verdict of
$4,000 by the Supreme court jury
for the death of her husband, VIII
liam s. Nicholson, killed in the town
of Saltwater. The jury reached its
verdict at l o'clock Tuesday night
after trial occupying more than a
week, The verdict was sealed and
yesterday morning delivered to JUS
tice Fits, who convened court long
enough to open and read 1t. Then,
upon motion of Arthur Il. Andrews,
court adjourned sine die out of re-
spect to the memory of Justice Peck
ham.
Mr.. Nicholson was plant superin-
tendent of the Hudson River Tele-
phone company. He was killed on
the night of July %, 1908, when the
automobile in which he was riding
friends went over an embankment of
the road The other members of the
car were more or less seriously in
jured.
Mrs. Nicholson sued the town to
recover $780, 600. 1t was contended
in her behalf that the town was re-
sponsble for the fatality because it
had failed to erect guard rails at
the embankment, and had also failed
to establish warnings of any kind
concerning the nature of the high
wa at that point. The defense was
that Nicholson had been careless in
driving his machine.
The case was tried during the May
term of court, but the jury disagreed.
The $4,000 verdict is one of the
largest for a life in Albany county.
