The United States has managed to
solve the !Iindoo invasion question.
With the assistance OF expert chem
lists and physicians the government
has ascertaincd that Hindoos are af-
fictcd with a disease known as and
called the hook worm. Under the
law, persons afflicted with contagious
diseases, coming from a foreign
country, can be refused landing, and
forced to return. However, the cred
il for the solution Of this intricate
problem is not entirely u to Ameri-
can chemists and physicians, or other
experts.
About twenty years ago German
farmers and stock raisers protested
against the importation into Germany
from the United States pork and pro-
ducts of hogs on the ground, as
claimed, that the same were afflicted
with trichina, and by such argument
the German farmers managed to ma
terially shut out competition from the
United States in that particular indus
try, although there was precious lit
tie truth in their rment So, our
American savants and experts have
simply copied from the German sa-
wants and experts, and applied the
German solution of the American
pork question to the solution of the
American-Hindoo question.
Similarly, the United States can
solve the question of the Japanese
invasion by showing that Japs are al
nicted with a disease of the eye,

SUCCESS WITH SHEEP.
Can Be Raised With Profit on Aban-
doned Farms.

doned Farms.
There is no reason why sheep can
not be raised prolitably on any land
where there is grazing. While the
consumption of mutton is constantly
increasing, and particularly the con-
sumption of lambs, the number of
sheep in the country is decreasing.
On any hilly land or land that has
been cleared of timber which will af.
ford good browsing sheep can be
raised at small expense.
II the farmer has to buy feed Of
course his profits will be much smaller
than IL he could raise it ON his own
land. But there are many abandoned
farms in the east that can soon be
brought up to a state of fertility that
will raise sufficient crops, such as al
falfa, roots and some of the harder
grasses, and these will under good
management return good profits from
sheep raising.
For such land the Southdown and
Shropshire are good breeds They are
stood that sheep. while they may be
able to subsist on land that will not
support larger animals. cannot be
properly fattened for market on poor
grazing alone.
Every man must study the condi-
lions surrounding his land, it's near
ness to market, the price OF feed-in
case he is obliged TO buy a portion OF
it-and must judge for himself whether

/ think it better TO buy old ewes,
because young ewes are very high in
price, says a successful breeder. From
the old ewes a start can quickly be
made and the old ones disposed of the
second year.
The ewes should be dipped before
being brought TO the farm and every
precaution taken to prevent disease.
They must have dry. warm quarters
for winter because sheep will not
thrive in the mud. They should never
be allowed TO stand out during heavy
rains or SHOWS, because a wet fleece is
bad thing.
The flock should be carefully culled
every spring. The old ewes should
be sold and the best ewes retained for
breeding purposes.

MoIes Friends of the Farmer.

A distinguished naturalist carefully
examined the stomachs OF fifteen moles
caught in different localities. but failed
TO discover therein the slightest YES
tige OF plants or roots; on the contrary.
they were filed with the remains of
earthworms. Not satisfied by this
fact. he shut up several moles In a
box containing sods Of earth. on which
fresh grass was growing. and smaller
cage of grubs and earthworms. In
nine days two moles devoured $40

year. II this Is correct 1t Is q strong
argument In favor of multiplying
rather than destroying the moles.

DAIRY NOTES.

The capacity of milk bottles is some
thing which at the present time is oc-
cupying the attention of the city seal
ers In all the large cities. In gradual
ing thousands Of bottles recently all
bottles that were found one or more
drains under capacity were marked SO
much short and all bottles running over
In capacity were marked 0. X, which
would leave the consumer to believe
that none was over capacity and that
they We're being wronged by short
measure. In fact, the consuming pub
lie was getting many thousand quarts
of milk more than the number OF bot
ties would indicate.
Density Of Cream.
The thickness or density OF cream
depends upon two things-the centrifu-
gal force used and the regulation Of
the cream outlook. In the separation
by centrifugal force the milk is thrown
to the outside Of the bowl because it
Is heavier than the butter fat. The
latter works In toward the center and
Is known as cream. The nearer the
center OF the bowl the thicker the
cream. provided Uniform feed and
speed are maintained.
Method of Separation.
Nowhere Is the progress Of dairying
better illustrated than in the contrast
between the old and the new systems
OF separating the cream from the milk
upon the farm. 1t is not difficult to
call to mind the old springhouse with
the crooks and pans OF milk set away
to cool. Under no circumstances were
these TO be disturbed lest perchance
the process OF rising should be handi-
capped. After twenty-four or thirty
six hours the cream was taken OF with
a spoon shaped skinner. OF course
Gully as much as could be got In this
way was secured.
Dairy Stock Show.
Recently there was held ~ Hutchin-
son. Mimi. one Of the largest dairy
picrics OF the season. and In connec-
don was held the first summer dairy
stock show IN Minnesota. There were
nearly 1900 people present, and the
picnic was considered success in
every respect. Many good prizes were
offered for the best dairy animals. and
It Is probable that there never was q
better showing OF dairy cattle made at
. county gathering.
oiso Law Of New York.
The oleo law OF New York has been
amended to forbid the manufacture,
sale or use of oleomargarine In imi-
tations or semblance Of butter and re-
quires all packages Of oleomargarine
to be plainly labeled and all public
places using oleomargarine to post
conspicuous notices 10 that effect, and
also the words "Oleomargarine Used
Here" must be printed upon the bin
Of fare. Before the amendment was
passed oleomargarine could be made
In Imitation Of butter for family use.
