THEFARMER'SWIFE

above all, the conditions Of farm
life must always be shaped with a view
to the welfare Of the farmers wife and
the farm laborer's wife. To have the
woman a mere drudge Is at least as bad
as to have the man mere drudge. It
is every whit as important to intro
duce new machines to econon1ize her
labor within the house as it is to intro
duce machinery to increase the effec-
tiveness Of his labor outside the house.
II haven't the slightest sympathy
with any movement which looks to
excusing men and women for the nom
performance Of duty and fixes atten-
ton only on rights and not on duties.
The woman who shirks her duty as
housewife as mother. is q contempt
ible creature: Just as the correspond
ing man is contemplate creature.
''But the welfare of the woman Is
even more important than the welfare
Of the man; for the mother is the real
Atlas, who bears aloft in her strong
and tender arms the destiny of the
world. She deserves honor and con-
sideration such as no man should re-
ceive. She forfeits all claim to this
honor and consideration If she shirks
her duties. But the average American
woman does not shirk them; and 1t is
matter Of the higest obligation for us
to see that they are performed under
conditions which make for her welfare
and happiness and for the welfare and
happiness OF the children she brings
into the world."-Theodore Roose-
velt's Address to Farmers at Utica.

sAUER KRAUT ON A SMALL
SCALE.

No better, surer, or more convenient
way for preserving cabbage for winter
use has yet been devised than that Of
making into sauer kraut. 1t is ready
on a moments notice and will keep
until spring.
If YOU have no kraut cutter, slice
with knife as fine as possible. This
is one secret Of prime product. Salt
to taste and pack in a barrel or crock.
After one head is thus prepared
pound with a wooden potato masher
or block of wood prepared for the
purpose until there is a good covering
or Juice on top. You will be surprised
to find how much juice there is in the
cabbage.
Keep on slicing and pou.d: e and
sailing until the crock Is nearly full.
But leave room for the rise occasioned
by fermentation.
Cover well with a cloth and place
a plate or other tight fitting cover
over, then weigh down with fiat
stone to keep 1t entirely under the
brine In two or three days it will
commence to work anG in as many
weeks it is tart and ready for use
unless kept too cold.
If too much salt is used 1t will kill
the acid and the kraut will soon spoil.
The ordinary taste for this condiment
will be sufficient test.

VALUE OF THE sIIO.

The silo Is practical necessity on
Jail farms where there Is danger OF
frost catching the corn crop before it
reaches its full maturity. With us 1t
has solved the problem Of handling
the portion Of the crop which fails to
reach the desired maturity to feed az
q grain food.
We find we can fill the silo for less
expense than we can put UP like
amount Of dry feed. and the cows are
at the same time better fed, which Is
the main point to consider. When
cows Are kept in the stable for five to
seven months they cannot return as
satisfactory profits if they are con-
fined to q ration of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There is also
q great saving Of labor in feeding
ensilage, over feeding dry corn fodder.
It is not now too late to build silos.
on pinch. Any reliable manufac-
turer will send you the material ready
to be put up or will build complete
a--d on short notice. A saving may be
affected by group OF farmers buying
silos from one factory. BY this plan
better prices may be obtained and by
shipping in carload lots there is q
material saving in freight.-W. M.

FRUIT PACKING SUGGESTIONS.

In most cases the orchardist ought
to employ disinterested person to do
his packing.
Line the fruit basket with burial p,
two or three thicknesses, to prevent
bruising and scratching.
In yellow apples the only test Of
ripeness is the seeds. When they have
turned light brown it is time to pick.
1t is safe to leave red apples several
days after the seeds indicate ripeness
because the warm, mellow days Of
autumn adds to their ripeness and
beauty.
1t is not generally known that all
varieties of japanese plums are sterile
and will not bear fruit unless crossed
by other varieties.
1t is generally true that self-polli-
mated fruit is not as large or vigorous
as fruit from crossed fortified bios
SONS on the same tree.
Some fruit commission men who
have very particular trade are learn
ing that they can get more for apples
packed in barrels without heads than
when packed in the usual way and
pressed down tightly.

RELATION OF PORK PRODUCE
TION TO THE FARM.

Hogs by nature are designed es-
pecially for the consumption OF con-
centrated feeds. such as grain. OF
late years. more roughage in the form
Of pasture has been utilized. This.
however, is only one of several im-
portant factors. The hog must have
the principal part to do with the mar
keting Of the concentrated food 7stuffs
and by-products. such as milk and
wastes from the farm. Where milk
is produced in large quantities, hogs
are almost essential, except in I'M
usual conditions. Where much corn
Is grown, hogs fit in we'll; in fact, the
hog is valuable adjunct In the dis
position Of all the grains and waste
by-products. However, it must be re-
membered that hogs grown in large
numbers are not proportionately so
profitable as when smaller number
are grown. Many people have made
the mistake Of getting over-enthusias-
tic as to the profits to be realized in
pork production, and have attempted
far more than they could efficiently
manage; with the result that prospec-
tive profits were absorbed in expenses
and losses. Here, as elsewhere, sue

PRESERVING FRUIT FOR EXIT.
BITION.

In preserving fruit specimens for
exhibition it is desirable that they
should retain the natural colors and
not decay. A good preparation is
made of 95 parts pure cistern water
and parts formaldehyde or as 1t is
known commercially as 40 per cent
solution of formaiine which may be
obtained of most any druggist.
For grapes 2 parts formaldehyde
will be sufficient. Mason fruit Jars can
be used where the regular exhibition
Jars are not to be obtained
The fruit should be well ripened
and colored but not ripe enough to be
soft.
Very acid fruits Will not be >re-
served in color so well as other varie-
ties. but this condition may be fairly
overcome by adding to each gallon a
Tablespoonful of ordinary bicarbonate
of soda.

BENEFITS OF BIRDS

Aside from the good cheer which
the presence of birds inspires. their
economic value is very great. Birds
are our greatest natural check upon
insects, tending to prevent their undue
increase and preserve the proper ball
ance in nature. They feed upon cater
pillars, grubs. cutworms beetles, bugs.
butterflies moths. grasshoppers.
chinch bugs plant lice and many other
destructive insects. Some birds are on
hand all the year to guard the crops
and trees against the ravages Of In
sects
Another large service rendered by
birds is the destruction of various ro-
den pests such as gophers. mice and
rabbits which work such havoc to
trees and crops when they become
numerous.
The annual loss occasioned by in
sects and rodents amounts to several
million dollars each year in the United
States This loss is increasing as till
age increases and birds are destroyed.
Hence it is of the greatest Importance
to agriculture that our valuable native
birds be preserved and everything pos
sible be done to allow them to in
crease.
The third great service is in the de-
struction Of weed seed. Many kinds
of birds feed upon the seeds Of nox-
ious weeds, in this way destroying
countless millions Of seeds that other
wise would terminate and spring up
to pollute the fields, lessen the yield
Of grain and lower it's market value.
The service rendered here amounts to
many million dollars annually In the
United States.
Certain birds also serve as scavan-
gers. consuming decaying animal mat
ter that otherwise might become a
source Of pollution Of our air. streams
and water supplies thus endangering
health. e

When we are driven from the fields
by storms we husk and bundle this

tn, manner the basement floor is
ready for more shocks from the field
as soon as the weather permits.
Out in the field on nice days we can
keep the husking moving by employ
ing the low farm wagon upon which
is fitted a com animation wagon box and
rack. The wings. of thi rack closed
up form tight box and by letting
one wing down and driving alongside
the shock row each shock is readily
husked out, the corn thrown directly
into the bed, the fodder bundled. and
shocked or piled into punches. Each
evening after the days husking is
stored in the cribs the same wagon
is employed in gathering in the days
husking of fodder which is hauled to
the barn and securely stored away.
