There are a good many breeders
which seem to be slow in learning
the lesson that they should keep for
breeding purposes and not sell the best
individuals which they produce. 1t is
hard to refuse q long price for a fine
animal, but here is case where a
fellows farsighted self interest ought
to serve him well.

There is surely an African in the
wood pile when the growers of pota-
toes get but 35 cents per bushel for
their tubers f. o. b. in October and
the consumer has to pay from slips to

when they are delivered at his back
door three months later by the local
groceryman.

Milk, sweet or sour, Is most valu-

The average cost Of hauling a ton of
freight mile by railroad is rs mills,
while the cost of moving it the same
distance by wagon is % cents. In the
difference between these figures lie
the chief argument and motive for bet

that all who haul produce to market

A query that naturally comes to one
who feels an interest in the soil be-

All too many farmers in the corn
belt have yet to learn the several ad-
vantages coming from adopting a type
of soil tillage which makes possible
the growing Of 1000 bushels Of corn
on fifteen acres instead of sprawling
it over forty or fifty acres. Such an
agricultural reform would mean not
only vastly greater economy in the
use and working of land and care of
the crops, but corresponding increase
in satisfaction on the part of the pro-
prietOr.

Amber, which is merely fossilized
resin. the sappy product of certain
coniferous trees, is found in but few
places. Among them are portion Of
the Baltic sea coast, near Koenigs-
burg, and the island Of Santo Domin-

fattened, egg shaped Jumps, varying
in size from pea to a mans fist.
These are dull on the exterior and are
covered with sort Of brownish
crust.

The quite common hit and go miss
method of testing seed corn, in which
the corn is shelled first and tested aft
erward, will spell disaster for q good
many the coming season. Under this
system there is no way of eliminating
the dead or weak germed kernels,
which can only incumber the planter
boxes and decrease the stand If all Of
the seed corn is planted the coming
spring that has been saved regardless
of its terminating quality. plates with
holes large enough to accommodate
the end of broomstick will have to
be used in the planter boxes.

One of the largest irrigation projects
in the world has been under construc-

Gated at Barren Jack, will cost when
completed $7,500,O00 and will store
water enough to irrigate and make

most twice that of the celebrated Salt
river dam. near Phoenix. Ariz., the
largest enterprise Of its kind in the

The other day we came across the
case of breeder of blooded hogs
and cattle who, it is said. does him
self positive injustice financially be-
cause he does not have his animals in
even fair condition at sale time We
heartily commend in any breeder the
practice Of not pampering or over
feeding animals that are to be offered
for sale, but there is happy and en-
tirely commendable medium that lies
between these two-namely, the CIV
ing of the blooded stock that care
from day to day which will enable
them to make good showing at sale
time and which will at the same time
give their owner the return to which
he is justly entitled.

Scientists who are making a thor
ough investigation of pellagra, the dis
ease which has lately made it's ap-
pearance in this country and owes it's
origin to the eating of moldy corn and
corn products, seem to think it has
it's counterpart in the blind staggers
which affiict horses and similar all
ments of some other domestic animals.
diseases which they hope to prove are
superinduced by eating moldy corn.
Whether the connection between the
diseases can be established or not, an
interesting field for investigation has
certainly been opened.

The black color Of the surface soils
found in many sections is due to the
presence of humus. the decaying and
decayed vegetable matter, the accumu-
lation of many years. White soils are
usually Of sandy character, red soil
Of decomposed granite or clay. while
the gray soils often noticed in western
states are composed of volcanic ash.
While black soils are usually fat and
rich in humus, in no sense do they
surpass the red or gray soils when
it comes to other fertilizing elements.
True. they often lack nitrogen. but this
deficiency is made good by the appli-
cation Of manures and the growing of
legumes.

A few crystals Of potassium per-

nasal passages are badly affected re-
lief will come from forcing into the

There is no system or method of
selecting public servants that will of
itself insure the election of clean and
ed by voters who are alert, honest and
actively interested in the problems of
popular government. The primary
election system, admittedly the best
method of selecting officers yet tried,
will not insure the election of the right
men to office any more than a reaper
will harvest grain without horses to
pull it. Along this line the farmer, the
tradesman and the professional man
have an equal responsibility in the at
tainment of good government.

At sale of Polled Angus cattle of
which we read an account the other
day, where the animals disposed of
were brought across the state line
without proper inspection. about a
dozen of the animals were seized by
the veterinary authorities of the state
in which the sale was held and sub
jected to the tubercular test. OF this
number ten animals were found more
or less affected with tuberculosis, some
so seriously that no portions of their
carcasses We're fit for food. This case
is cited for the purpose of indicating
the risk that the purchaser of full
blooded stock runs and the wisdom
there is in his insisting on a health
certificate from a reliable veterinary
authority before he pays the long price
usually asked for such animals.
