To Make Rubber Cheap.

It is believed that plantation rub

next FIVE years to not only meet the
worlds demand, but to make rubber
disastrously cheap. Rubber is one
of those products that promises IA
vorably for synthetic chemical con.
struction. Japan lost millions of in
come through the invention of max
ing synthetic camphor from oil of
%turpentine. This artificial camphor is
chemically identically the same as the
Jap camphor, made by steaming cam.
phor tree wood or shavingS and con-
densing the steam and camphor in
cold water tanks. The same thing
happened to indigo. Millions OF dol.
lars worth were imported from India
every year. Two years after the in
vention Of synthetic indigo the i'm
ports of real indigo fell to 100000.
and have been steadily falling until
natural indigo at its normal high
price is a drug on the market, for the
new stuff, the "imitation,' is the same
thing, chemically and practically.
European chemists are working to
make synthetic rubber, and some are
pretty apt to strike it.-NeW York

The Shape Of Your Nose.

There is a tolerably close racial
parallel between h%igh-nosed and high
minded. The nose is not only our
most human, but in a broad sense Is
our most intellectual, feature. Growth
of nose and s%hrinkage Of jaw have
been the two great %correlates which
have accompanied human progress
The moment, however, that we en-
deavor to go beyond these broad and
loose congratulations we find u
selves in trouble. This, from the
fact, patent to every n who has kept
his eyes open, that w find noses OF
practically all shapes, from the plebe-
ian pug to the aristocratic aqulilne'
in individuals Of the same race, ano
even in members of the same family
although the long and straight or
convex noses would be far more
numerous in the higher races and the
ADLER families. It is comparatively
seldom that a great man has a small
nose. or even a short one, and instead
of applying such terms as "proDos-
els" "beak," carrot" and beet" to a
large, long, aggressive nose, it should
be regarded as a mark of breeding
and as prima facie evidence OF good
blood and possible capacity.-Suc-

ton, and this s%ecretive action in
creases more rapidly the animal is
fed or the harder he is worked, so
that by perspiring freely nature comes
to the assistance in preventing the
pores of the skin being choked.
But the fatty fluid which comes
from the glands in the form of sweat
is apt to consolidate again at the roots
of the hair and forms a covering of
dandruff which clogs the circulating
action through the pores Of the skin.
When a horse is doing no work
and grazing in the open this is of no
harm, as it helps to keep out the cold
and consequently grooming is not
needed; but, on the other hand, the
working animal requires to be kept
in better vigor, and besides the labor
and more heterogeneous food usually
given induces more excessive per-
spiration.
When he comes into the stable
either wet or perspiring he should be
well rubbed down at once.

HOW A FARM
ECAME FAMOUS.

The Rev. Josiah D. DIETRICH tells
how his little farm became famous.
Some six or seven years ago two mel
appeared, unannounced, at the back
porch Of Mr.. Detrich's farmhouse. A
washerwoman who was at work there
called up the backstairs, There are
a couple Of peddlers out here with
packs on their backs who want to see
you" The farmer came down at
once and found that n of the men
was MI. w. J. Spillman, Agriculture
list in Charge of Farm Management
Investigations, Bureau of Plant In
dustry, Department Of Agriculture.
The other "peddler" was his assist
ant. Their packs" contained cam
erss and tripods. Mr.. Spillman said
they had come to see the farm but
we're in a hurry and could stay only
until the next train. The three men
started off at a quick pace to the
dairy barn. Arrived there, the visi-
tors could scarcely believe what they
saw. Does your barn always look
like this?" asked Mr.. Spillman. He
was assured that it did. Were your
cow washed this morning?" II
never wash them" This was fol-
lowed by further questions, and then
the investigators got down to wo.l.
Instead of taking the next train for
Washington, they stayed until four
o'clock in the afternoon of the fol-
lowing day. They had remained in
conversation with Mr.. DIETRICH until
midnight on the day of their arrival,
and returned to the farm at five
o'clock the next morning. The re-
suit of their visit was an article by
Mr.. Spillman which appeared in the
Yearbook of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, 1903, IN
der the title of "A Model Farm" The
demands for reprints of this were
so numerous that in 1906 it vas re-
issued in a sixteen-page pamphlet as
Farmers Bulletin No. 242. When
every small farm in this country is
managed as capably as this one, the
United States will be able to sustain
much more than twice its present

Mutton, Wool, or Both.

Is it advisable for the average
| sheep raiser, in the management of
! his flock, to give attention chiefly to
| the production of mutton or wool, or
to endeavor by selection to blend
both and breed to improve the two
desirable qualities? 1t has become
a believed fact that in the breeding
of live stock it is practically impos-
sible to reach the highest attainment
by attempting to carry along too
many improvements, as frequently it
becomes necessary to eliminate one to
obtain the benefit of another, writes
l.. C. Reynolds in an exchange. 1t is
| seldom, indeed, that the average
lockmaster is able to secure new
blood each season to effect Improve
ment, possessing strong character1s-
tics in all desirable qualities. Some
thing has generally got to be sacrl-
feed in order to gain the benett or
the Strengthening quality possessed
in the new blood.
The true object to be attained In
the management of a flock Of sheep
should, however, be Kept vitality IN
mind. The sheep raiser who is keep
ing sheep for the financial returns, and
who is DESTROYS of making his Hook
produce as large revenue as possible
each season, car hardly afford to
breed exclusively for wool or mutton.
In years past, wool has been a pri-
mary factor in sheep raising, and at
that time when prices were unusually
high made this product a profitable
resource, but to-day conditions have
| decidedly changed. The American
people are not only wearing wooden
garments, but are greedily relishing
the flesh products of the stock as
we'll. The average 1ockmaster can
not afford under present conditions
to maintain a flock exclusively for the
| production of one product, but must
| combine all of them and breed for
their highest development.
The raising Of sheep for the pro-
| duction of both wool and mutton
| opens two sources through which the
flock can be made to insure greater
profit. While it must be admitted
that the highest possible improve
| ment cannot be reached in developing
both the wool and mutton qualities,
the profit from the average flock will
be increased by 80 doing and also
made more constant. The market
price of both wool and mutton vary
with the supply and demand. Some
years the supply of mutton will be
sufficient to meet the demand, while
the market will experience a short
age in wool. If the flock is so main.
tanned that a maximum of both ar
ticles can be put upon the market,
no matter if one is excessively low,
the revenue from the flock is held up
if the other is above average price

Platforms For Chicken Coops.

Anyone who expects to raise little
| chickens in the spring must meet the
| question of how to keep them warm,
| dry and clean and safe from the rats.
| 1t is Of no use to try to raise chickens
| unless you have a suitable place to
keep them, and it is better to get this
ready before they are Matched than
to wait until they are ready to. take
out Of the nest, and then begin to
look around for a coop.
The coops should be tight and have
good roofs and substantial platforms
under them to keep the chickens out
of the water. Every spring there are
hard rains when the ground is thor
oughly soaked with water, and it IS
impossible to keep the chickens dry
if the GOODS are on the wet ground.
1t is no pleasure to go out during or
after a hard rain and gather up half
drowned chickens, and take them in
to the house to dry; but this is what
one will be compelled to do if he does
not want the chickens to drown.
If rats are bad it is almost impos-
sible to raise little chickens with the
coops on the ground for they will dig
under them and kill all that happen
to be in the coop. Another advan-
tage about having the coops on plat
forms is that they can easily be kept
clean. The coop can be lifted off, the
platform scrubbed and left until az
ternoon to dry and air, and the coop
replaced before time for the chickens
to go into it for the night.
These are all little things, but they
have much to do with the success Of
the person who expects to go into the
chicken Observation-Disclosures Whit

A Word About Dairy Cows.

In the Farmer of February 5, I'M

Wisconsin produced in one month
1929 pounds of butter-fat on 1852
pounds of feed. Now will Mr.. w. of
Wisconsin please let US know how to
keep a cow one month on 1853
pounds Of feed and get 1929 pounds
of butter-fat. 1t IS a good cow that
will make ESQ pounds Of butter in
n year-that at twenty cents a
pound would be $50; skim milk
worth about $12 or a total income
of S62 for one COW for one year.
The cost of keeping a 90 one year
would be: Pasture six months, SO;
winter feed six months, SIS; feed for
year, $27; milking, sos days at five
cents per day, S15.25; washing milk

Happiness.

There are two ways of being happy
we may either diminish our wants
or augment our means-either will
do-the result is the same; and it is
for each man to decide for himself,
and do that which happens to be
easiest.
If you are idle or sick or poor,
however hard it may be to diminish
your wants, it will be harder to aug
ment your means.
If you are active and prosperous or
young or in good health it may be
easier for you to augment your means
than to diminish your wants.
But if you are wise you will do
both at the same time. young or old,
rich or poor. sick or well; and if you
are very wise you will do both in such
a way as to augment the general
happiness of society. - Benjamin
Franklin.

Charcoal For Pigs.

"A box of charcoal is as valuable an
adjunct to the hog yard as it is to
the poultry pen. An easy way to
secure a quantity of charcoal is to
dig a pit in the ground and start a
fire in it. AS the fire progresses
throw in cobs and wood until the pit
Is full. When the fire is well started,
cover the whole with a piece of sheet
iron. The mass will be thoroughly
charred in a day or two and can be
taken out and stored for future use.
1t adds to the beneficial effect of
the charcoal to sprinkle over it be-
fore feeding a solution of twelve
pounds of salt and two pounds OF
copperas dissolved in a pail of water,
letting the charcoal become well sat-
urated.-Farmers' Home Journal.

The Neglected Farm Horse.

Some farmers think it a waste OF
time to groom working horses in
order to make them look sleek and
shiny and would rather leave them in
their natural state.
1t should be remembered that in
the domestic horse more is demanded
than in the wild animal, and conse-
quently he requires a little more
fostering to supply the wear Of this
extra demand.
And grooming does not mean mere
ly c%ultivating a "sleeky" appearance,
although I do not mean to depreciate
the virtue of those who take a pride
in keeping their horses in fine coat

Sheep Worms and Tobacco.

We feed tobacco to sheep to keep
ttem clean from worms; tobacco
seems to be especially good to keep
tape-worms out Of sheep. We have
tried here several ways of feeding
tobacco. One was to mix it with the
salt; but we found that the sheep
wouldn't eat enough tobacco in this
way to affect the worms. Now We
put the ground tobacco beside the
salt, and when the sheep come up
for salt they eat what tobacco they
need. In this way the sheep them
selves regulate how much they should
eat. We always keep tobacco before
the sheep and think it does a good
bit of ~good.-Wallace's Farmer.
