1t is not a particularly reassurine
thought that about % per cent of all
hogs and cattle found affected with
tuberculosis are used as human food,
this being due to the fact that the flesh
of such animals is considered whole,
SiOnS are found in it.

There are many who hold that wher
the farmer in the northern half Of the
o belt knows as much about rails
ing alfalfa as he already does about
growing corn and oats he will have lit
tie trouble in raising the legume.
There would seem to be something in
the contention.

If the field on which the stalks are
standing is we'll supplied with humus
-decaying vegetable matter-there is
no particular reason for cutting them
to pieces and blowing them under, as
the mineral fertilizing elements-phos-
phorous and potash-will be left in the
soil in the shape Of ashes in case the
stalks were burned. But the fact re-
mains that the vast majority of soils
are deficient in humus; hence it is bet
ter to cut the stalks to pieces and
pillow them under. When silos are in
stalled on every farm, as they ought to
be, this question of what to do with
the stalks will take care of itself, as
the bulk of them will be converted into
ensilage, with nothing but six to eight
inches Of stubs left afield.

TO one who has made the rail trip
across the Utah deserts it seems i'm
possible that men from the more hui
mid eastern states would have the
hardihood to locate there and under
take dry farming, and yet this is ex-
actly what is being done. AS a result
the big sheepmen who have herded
their flOcks on the mountains in the
summer months and in the winter on
the deserts, where they subsist on
sagebrush and cactus, contend that
this movement Of settlers to the desert
means the ultimate extinction of the
grazing business as it has been known
in years past.

Wheat Poor Cattle Food.

Feeding experiments conducted the
past three years by Profs. Z. B. Hart,
E. V. McCollum, and G. c. Humphrey
of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture indicate that cattle fed on the
products of wheat alone have low
vitality, low milk production, and
weak understood calves, while those
fed corn and its products have con-
tinued thrifty and have produced large
strong calves. The lot fed oats have
given results more nearly like the
corn group, while the lot fed equal
parts of corn, wheat and oats, re-
sembled more nearly the wheat-fed
animals.

In a general way that type of farm
ing has most to commend it from the
standpoint of the welfare of the soil
and the owner of it in which the
amount paid to railroads for transpOr-
tation of products is reduced to a mini
mum. 1t is because Of this fact that
raising hogs, sheep and cattle is a bet
ter type of farming than grain selling
and why butter production is better
than either. With grain the value of
the shipment is from a cent to a cent
and a half a pound, with stock 5 to 10
cents and with butter % to So cents.
Not only this, but the amount Of fer
tility removed from the farm is in a
quite accurate indirect ratio to the
value per pound of the product ship
ped. There is something in the above
facts that the general farmer might
well take note Of.

The most important factor in the
choice of a sire for the dairy herd is
not the length Of his pedigree or a
hifalutin name, but the number Of
pounds of butter fat produced in a
year by his dam, his grandam and
great-grandam. This will be the only
safe guarantee that he will beget heifer
calves of a fixed milk giving habit.

The forest service is conducting an
experiment in the foothills of southern
California thar is bound to be followed
closely by all who are interested in the
reclamation or use of millions of acres
of rough and inaccessible desert land.
Briefly, the experiment is the setting
out in representative localities Of 100,-
900 eucalyptus trees, for which the
ground will not be prepared beyond
the digging Of a hole two feet across

will be made to cultivate the little

Any farmer living near a railroad
track would do well to carry insur-

With the fur business becoming
more and more important each year
and trappers getting handsome re-

should be taken by both trappers and
son from Nov. / to Dec. /. 1t is the
consensus of opinion among those who
have given the matter attention that
much fur caught prior to Nov. 20 and
classed as unprime would be rated as
prime and fetch a much higher price
if caught after Dec. 1.

It is all right to feel a keen interest

BROOKS COMET BRILLIANT.
Best Time to See It Is at 5 O'Clock

SAN JOSE. Cal. October 25.-Dr. r. G.
Aiken of the Lick Observatory staff has
given out the following statement re-
gard ing Brooks comet:
Brooks comet continues to increase in
brightness and 5 now a brilliant object
in the morning sky. On Monday morning
the head Of the comet was about twenty
two degrees northeast of Venus. The
morning star and the tail could be traced
with the naked eye through nearly TWEEN
ty-five degrees.
The photographs taken at the Lick
Observatory show that the forces which
produce the tail are being greatly stinlu-
lated by the comets approach to the sun,
and that rapid changes are taking place
in the material and in the form of the
tail. In this respect Brooks comet is the
most interesting one observed since 1905
