DEMONSTRATION FARMS

The last legislature passed a law
providing for county demonstration
farms. making it possible for any
county in the state to have a farm,
which will be conducted under the
supervision of the State college in
this city. Our sister state of North
Dakota has over twenty of these
farms in operation, and the expert
ments carried on are of immense
value to the farmers in the local
tiles where the farms are situated.
Below we publish the salient fea-
lures of the law:
An agricultural demonstration farm
is hereby defined to mean a farm of
not less than forty acres where mod
ern scientific methods of farming,
crop rotation and accounting are car
ried on upon a farm-wide scale under
the supervision Of the regents Of edu-
cation for the purpose Of demonstrat-
ing profits and the benefit to the soil
arising from the use of the modern
scientific agricultural methods as
taught by the State College Of Agri-
culture, and Mechanic Arts and in
the farmers institutes.
Every demonstration farm under
this chapter must be carefully cu1ti-
waited and conducted under the SUI
pervision of a competent supervisor
to be appointed by the regents of
education and who shall visit each
farm as fir quently as is convenient
and take general supervisory "a
agement thereof. He shall provide a
scheme for crop rotation upon each
farm and prescribe the rules for the
preparation of the soil, and planting,
cultivation and harvesting crops grown
thereon. He must permit only pure
seed Of good quality and at least

missioners desire more than one de-
monstration farm, the regents of ed
ucation may contract with any reput-
able farmer for the cultivation OF a
farm of at least forty acres conven-
iently located, as a demonstration
farm provided that such farm shall
contract to continue the experiment
for at least five years, and to furnish
all necessary buildings, labor, teams,
machinery and seed grain for the
cultivation of such farm and shall
agree to in all things observe the
rules for the cultivation Of such farm
as shall be prescribed by the super
visor selected for the purpose by the
regents of education provided that
such contract shall be approved by
the county commissioners of the coun-
ty wherein such farm is located.

curate system of accounts to be kept
for each farm and the regents may
contract for payment to be made for
the labor of keeping such accounts
from the demonstration farm fund
provided, not to exceed n hundred
dollars for each such farm.
Any county desiring to avail it
self of the supervision of a demon
stration farm or farms under the pro-
vision of this act shall by a resolu-
ton of the county commissioners bind
itself to continue the demonstration
for five years and shall pay into the
state treasury at the beginning of
each year the sur of three hundred
dollars for each demonstration farm
desired for such county, which sums
appropriated to the board of regents
for the supervision and maintenance
Of demonstration farms in the
ties making such payments, provided
that no greater sum shall be expended
in and on behalf of any county in one
year shall be credited to it upon its
required deposit for the next year and
that at the end of the contract period
any sum remaining in the state treas
ury TO the credit of any county shall
be refunded to such county. All Of
such money shall be paid out upon

sued upon proper vouchers approved
by the regents Of education.

county may conduct the county poor
farm as a demonstration farm under
the provisions of his act and the
county shall provide all necessary
buildings, machinery, tools, teams,
labor and seed grain for the proper
conduct of the same and shall con

FATTENING POULTRY FOR
MARKET,
Fly Bertha Wilson

Always fatten fowls as quickly as
possible and send only those that are
healthy to market. The fowls are
confined eithe- in coops OF in small
yards, and fed four times a day, be-
ginning early and giving the last meal
late. The first two meals consist of
corn meal, ground oats end a little
crude tallow, mixed with water or
milk, the latter preferable. The mix
ture is we'll soaked, forming a crum-
bly, pulp. 1t is placed before the
fowls either n a trough or OIL a
board running along the front of the
coop. Each meal is as much as the
fowls can eat up clean and no more.
When the birds have done feeding,
the board is wiped and some gravel
spread. This auseS them to feed and
thrive. The th4ld meal may consist
of wheat only, and at night whole
corn. After 10 days Of this treatment
the fowls should be fat enough to sell
we'll. If only five or six are to be fat
tened they need not have so much
room as though there were a dozen.
Nothing is easier than to allow them
the proper space, as it is only neces-
sary to have a few square yards OF
ground.
Turkeys cannot be fattened in this
way. They become weary and lose
flesh instead of gaining, as they prefer
association and range with others.
With geese cleanliness and quietude
are above all other things indis-
pensable. The time l have found best
to begin fattening them is in Deem
Der, or as soon as cold weather has
fairly begun. If it is delayed longer
the pairing season sets in and pre-
vents their becoming fat.
As soon as the fowl Is sufficiently
fattened It must be killed, for 1t Will
not get fatter, but lose flesh. II fowls
are intended for home consumption,
it is better to put them up at inter
walls. When the time arrives for Kill.
ing they should be kept without food
or water for 12 or Is hours. This en-
ables them to be kept for some time
after being killed, even In compar
atively warm weather.

tariff TO talk about ii two minutes.
More than that. he didn't care much,

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Civic Less Throsbh School
Sickness.

BY DR. LEONARD p. AYREs.
Figures from Germany. Eng
land. Sweden and seven Ameri-
can cities Indicate that In the
average city school system the
children who are In need OF such
treatment as. fha afforded by the
open air schools constitute from
3 to 0 per cen; Of the entire
school membership. This means
that Albany, for example. should
have open air schools In sum-
cient numbers to care for 300
children, while New York city
needs accommodation for 10000.
When such figures as these are
mentioned the objection of ex-
pense looms high at once. but II
must not be forgotten when we
are considering expense that q
thousand children Of school age
die each year of tuberculosis in
New York city. On the average
they have each had about six
years OF schooling, for which the
city has paid about $3.50. This
means quarter Of a million dol
lars loss each year In the great
city ID money expended on edu-
eating children who die of tuber-
culosis before growing up. A
quarter OF million dollars a
year spent in open air schools
designed to prevent this fright
ful waste would go far toward
meeting the entire expense.
