SCIENCE TO HELP FARMERS
Plan That May RevOIutionze Farming Methods in Genesee Valley in
 Western New York.

Several farmers of western New York are considering a plan that has been suggested to them by one of their sons who is attending the Cor nell agricultural school, The plan con- sists in a number of farmers who re- side not too far apart forming an as- sociation and hiring an expert scien- tiffc farmer who could intelligently di- rect the farming operations of the members, analyze the different soils and determine what they lack and the crops best suited to the land. instruct the members in the preparation of the different formulas for spraying trees and growing crops and the proper time to spray, and in the proper selection of different seeds for planting.
 The farms in that vicinity will not average much over 100 acres and in the rough draft of the plan it was fig ured that if twenty farmers could be enrolled who would be willing to pay S100 year each, first-class man could be secured and he would have but slightly over 2,0O0 acres to super wise. with no manual labor to do. With the superintendent located at some central farm where he could be access sible on the telephone and with some fairly rapid means of conveyance the plan looks feasible and may revolu- tionize farming methods in the Gene see valley.

LIVING IN COOPERATIVE AGE
Thousands of Ways in Which Farmer Can Be Benefited by Forming
 Local Organizations.

| We are living in an age of co-opera- | ton and it is beneficial so long as It's 1 legitimate functions are adhered to. All trades and professions are more l inclined to the cooperative idea than i farming and there is where the knight l of the soil makes a mistake There l are thousand ways in which 1arn- CTS can be benefited by forming local cooperative associations, concerning given territory, and holding meetings | at stipulated times, not too far apar1 says Farm and Orchard. The farmer is penny wise and pound foolish who is not willing to leave his field a half day occasionally to mingle and ex- change ideas with his fellows.
 Smith, Jones and Brown each needs a harvester. Three machines can be bought approximately cheaper than one and the transportation charges will also be less. Each may have for sale a small crop of wheat. The quan- tity owned by one is not sufficient to Justify looking for the best market advantages, but put the three crops to- gether and they can be marketed JCaLtiE lO LlAS bEitIlI Ol dll NAi " NAAA with no more effort than would be re- quired to dispose of the holdings of one The same holds good in the pur- chase of all kinds of seeds, fertilizers. live stock and farm implements of all kinds, as well as in the marketing of everything produced on the farm. There are different pieces of ma chinery that might be owned and used jointly by farmers and in that way represent but small outlay by each.
 There is no subject in which farm CTS and rural dwellers generally should be more interested than in the construction and maintenance of good roads. Take a road over which one ton only can be hauled to market with two-horse team, improve 1t so as to be able to haul two tons with the same team, and the distance to mar ket has been reduced by one-half. The extra tax required for road improve ment Is a mere bagatelle compared to the advantages the good roads will afford.
 The feeders of public roads are pri- vate roads, and several farmers may often use and enjoy the same private right of way and keep it in repair at their joint expense. Aside from all the considerations sounding in dol lars and cents, it is the pleasure of so- cial intercourse and personal friend ship resulting from it in the country in the coming together of men for one common purpose. The selfish, narrow minded individual who wants to live entirely to himself and for himself is a curse to himself, and to the whole human family.

FAIRBANKS TALKS IF
 TAFT TO ADMEN's CLUB
FORMER VlcE-PRESIDENT HITS AT PRESIDENTS CRITICS.
Deplores Misrepresentation of Execu- tive's Acts and Distorting Record
 of Administration.

Omaha, Nebraska Former Vice President Charles ". Fairbanks came to Omaha to aim his first blow at those who criticised the president, the administration and the men in con. gress who uphold the presidents ac- tion. MT. Fairbanks address was the chief feature of the second days ses- sion of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America.
 There is perhaps nothing more rep rehensible than impeachment of the motives of the chief executive" he said, the downright misrepresentation of his acts, or distortion of his record. No possible good can result therefrom. 1t may be diverting to a certain class to witness such brutality toward the head of the nation, but upon sober re- fiection they must perceive the hurt ful results.
 What has been said of the execu- tive applies to the indiscriminate, reckless assault upon congress"
 Deploring public extravaganza, Fair banks declared "One of the most con spicuous sources of extravaganza in the name of law and public necessity is the rivers and harbors bill. There is not a measure of this character" " he continued, which does not carry appropriations unauthorized by any general public good and which only are sanctioned by local pride. The remedy lies in giving to the president the power to veto the obnoxious items.'

GRIM WAR SH0N| GOES
 ON AT FORT MONROE
GAY ScENUE TRANSFORMED TO
 UNUSUAL SPECTACLE.
Cause of Accident Ascribed to Defect in Safety Device of Firing
 Mechanism.

Norfolk, Virginla.-Fortress Mon roe, which was gay with anticipa- tion over an unusual military spec tacle, is enshrouded in the deepest gloom. Col. Townsley informed the relatives of the eleven men who were killed by the premature explosion of the big 12-inch gun in Battery De Pussy that he will await their replies regarding the burial of the men.
 The bodies will be shipped at the expense of the government to the homes if it is desired Otherwise they will be buried at the military ceme- tery near by.
 Despite the horror of the accident, several officers and men who were in the battery at the time of the explo- sion are receiving congratulations for the heroism they displayed in going to the rescue of the injured men, al though they themselves were hurt, and in preventing the ignition of q charge of powder, which was near the gun awaiting another shot.
 As a result of the catastrophe, which is ascribed by ordnance experts t ca defect in the safety device of the firing mechanism, designed to prevent the discharge of the gun until it is raised above the parapet, an inyesti- gation of this device on all guns on the coast artillery Notifications prob ably will be made. In no other way can the accident be explained

Glynn, chair man of the board, who presided at the meeting, referred to the appalling loss of $4.000,000," as shown by the report, saying: It was due partly to gross disobedience and partly to methods which can hardly be called by another name than irregular. The question of restitution proceedings will have to be carefully considered
 John MacDonald-Henderson mem- Der of the house of commons, de, clared that he was prepared to find the money in his own pocket to probe to the end situation of affairs which Director Clouette characterized as 'one of the greatest company scan dals of modern times.'

PRESIDENT HEARS REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF NEW TARIFF
 COMMISSION.
HE MEETS SENATOR HALE
Executive Aranges for Visit to Ban, gor, Leaving Bar Harbor Saturday Politicians to Make Much of
 New England Visit.

Bar Harbor, Me.-Although Presi- dent Taft carhe to Bar Harbor to enjoy the social life of the resort he does not intend to let the social side interfere with business. Prof. H. c. Emery, chairman of the tariff commis, sion, reached Bar Harbor today. He has just returned from a trip of in- vestigation in Europe, especially in Germany. His investigations were di- rectly mainly toward obtaining a ba- sis for a comparison of cost of produc- tion here and abroad
 The president conferred with MT. Emery on board the Mayfower. He wanted to talk to the chairman be fore he sees the whole commission at Beverly next month. It is understood that MT. Emery's researches may fur nish ammunition for speeches in de- fense of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law in the fall campaign.
 The president did not land until 4 o'clock. Senator Hale of Maine had come over from Ellsworth to talk to him about his visit to Bangor Satur. day and that delayed the landing a little.
 It is likely that the Maine politi clans will make much of the presi dents visit to Bangor. In addition to Senator Hale, ex-Gov. Cobb, ex Gov. John F. Hill, who is vice-chair- man of the Republican national com mittee; Representative Edwin c. Bur. leigh and Byron Boyd, chairman of the Republican state committee, will come over to Bar Harbor to escort the president to Bangor. Still it is said he does not intend to talk poli- tics publiey.

PLANS FOR HANDLING GRAIN
Farmers Union in Washington and Panhandle of Idaho to Sell
 Crop Through Agents.

One of the most important moves to be made by the Farmers Educational and Cooperative union during the present year, according to State Presi- dent L. c. Crow, is the districting of the warehouses owned or leased by the union in the grand jurisdiction, which comprises Washington and the Panhandle of Idaho
 The idea is to form five or six dis tricts, with central selling agency in each district, the agency to be To- cated in the commercial center of the district. The central agency in each district will be in close touch with the coast agency, and the manager of each warehouse in the district will in turn be kept advised of conditions of the grain market through the central agency.
 The central agencies in the five or six districts will have control of the entire warehouse system of the union. Each agency will have control of the warehouses in its territory, while the heads of agencies will form a board of directors
 Where the locals do not, or cannot, own or operate a warehouse the mem- bers will store their grain in the old line houses and mark it, reporting to their local secretary as to the amount stored, who, in turn, reports to the central agency in the district
 The warehouse business. as handled by the union during the last year, has been successful beyond expectation and has saved the farmers no little money. Much of the grain held until prives advanced was held in union warehouses and under advice of lead CTS in the union, who were keeping in close touch with conditions through the agency on the coast

Sheep Parasites.

Internal parasites are the worst enc mics of sheep. and the stomach worm is perhaps the worst of these. Any ground long pastured with infested sheep will become infested with these parasites. Prevention is better than a cure. Change pastures often, and pasture as much as possible in stub- ble fields and other fields that have been in cultivation. Especially pasture the ewes and lambs in clean pasture. In the fields that have been cultivated the parasites have been killed off.

Poor Pastures.

Poor pastures do not pay for the reason that it is to the interest of the farmer that his cows secure an abundance of food at the least cost. The animals should not be compelled to work for their food on the pasture by tramSing the ground in the search for grass. AS soon as a pasture does not supply an abundance the cattle should be taken off and fed on green food at the barn, as they will fall off in milk if the supply of food on the pasture fails.

Fatted Flesh.

The reason why fatted flesh is bet ter than unfatted is that globules of fat are distributed throughout the muscles, displacing to considerable degree the moisture found therein. The bulk is not only therefore in- creased, but also when the flesh is cooked the fat does not evaporate to the same extent as water, but, melt ing. softens the tissue, making it more digestible and finer in flavor.
