HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT
rraternai Orders, Labor Unions and
Insurance Companies Erect
tuberculosis Sanitoria.

AS an investment in the health of
their members, four large fraternal
orders, two international labor unions
and one of the largest insurance COM
panies In the United States have es-
lished sanitoria for the treatment
Of tuberculosis, according to state
Dent issued by the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis. The Royal League, the
first fraternal order to establish a
sanatorium, conducts a hospital for
It's tuberculosis members at Black
Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of
America conduct one at Colorado
Springs; the Workmen's Circle, one
at Liberty, N. land the Independent
Order of Foresters have one at Rain
bow Lake, N. Y, and win soon open a
second one at San Francisco, CAL The
International Typographical union has
since 1898 conducted sanatorium at
Colorado Springs, and the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assist
ants Union of America has recently
opened new institution at Rogers
vile, Tenn. A leading life insurance
company is now erecting a sanator-
Ium at Mt. McGregor, N. Y, which will
be the first of its kind established
by an "old line" insurance company.

with them, one Of the little fellows
stuck out his left hand.

Forms Potash on Vegetables.

One of the most puzzling points in
the use of fertilizers Is the effect Of
the various forms of potash. Some
vegetables and fruits seem to thrive
best In muriate of potash. Others give
better yields when treated with sui.
phate of potash. Even the garden
vegetables seem to have their prefer.
ence, according to recent tests at the
Maine experiment station. Thus rhu-
barb gives q much heavier yield with
muriate of potash, while onions. cauli
flower and asparagus give. heavier
crops with sulphate. Orchard fruits,
as a rule, seem to prefer the sulphate.

DEPTH FOR FLOWING
Methods of TiIlage May Be Look.
ed Into With Profit.
Some Of Western Experiment Stations
Reached Conclusion That Excess
siveiy Deep Flowing Not
Always Profitable.

In these dry years farmers In the
humid belt may with profit look into
the methods Of soil tillage Of the dry
farmers. There was time when the
dry farmer talked about shallow plow-
ing and surface cultivation. claiming
that stirring the soil deeply left 1t
loose and open and resulted In loss
of moisture. This was before sub-sur-
face packers and other dry farming
machinery came into use. When the
big traction engines came into use ana
plows, discs, and other tillage machin-
cry could be hauled by means OF me-
chanical power. experimenting In deep
plowing, subsoiling. subsequent discing
and sub-surface packing became COM
mon and before long deep plowing be-
came the rule. 1t Is not uncommon
for dry farmers to plow to a de pth OF
Is inches. and eight to ten inches Is
now the usual depth, says the Farmer
and Breeder. They are plowing to
that depth with horses, usually using
from Ave to six on gang plow.
Naturally some Of the western ex-
pertinent stations have been studying
soil tillage questions under arid condi-
tions and they have come to the con-
clusion that excessively deep plowing
is not profitable, but that depth OF
eight to ten inches, as a rule, gives
the most remunerative results. For
period Of five years, on four different
fields, the Utah experiment station
has obtained the following average re-
suits with wheat:

There Is money in calves raised by
hand. II one Is equipped for 1t or will
equip himself. 1t is believed to be
more profitable in every way to raise
calves by hand than to let them run
with the dams. This has been dem.
onstrated over and over, but because
OF the slightly additional amount of
work necessary 1t is not practiced so
often as would really be profitable.
says the Kansas Farmer. There are
many cases, of course. where emer-
gencies demand that the calf be raised
by hand. There are more cases
where this could be done profit

way.
One of the conveniences which is
desirable In the development Of calves

which enclose the calves heads.
These barrel slaves are placed in
such manner that one Of them which
fts about the calf's neck is movable

held In place by 20-penny nail driven
through the center of the stave SO

FlQhtlnQ Scale In Winter.

II there is one disease affecting farm
products which more than another
takes a cinch when 1t has a chance, 1t
Is the San Jose scale, which attacks
fruit trees. Winter is the time to go
after the scale, and the time to quit is
when every branch and trunk that Is
affected is either destroyed by fire or
thoroughly coated with the washes
recommended. The Kansas entomolog-
ical commission is trying hard to
arouse the fruit growers of the state,
whether small or large, to the impor-
tance Of eradicating the scale, both for
their own protection and the protec-
tion Of the states industry.

Home Made Calf Stanchlon.

the lower part Of the engraving,
which is intended to hold ordinary
milk crooks for feeding the calves. In
these crooks can be placed the skim
milk for the calves and with 1t any
grain ration that may be desirable to
give them. The particular stanchion
from which this picture was taken
was owned by man who had great
faith in Kaffir corn as grain ration
for his calves. His custom was to
place the feed of Kaffir corn in the
crock with the milk, and let the
calves do the rest. These crooks are
easily emptied and easily cleaned.
while the calves are not using them
they can be left in place for the sun
shine to purify and cleanse.
The estimated cost Of this calf
stanchion where all materials must be
purchased, is about $3.50. This pro-
provides for a stanchion large enough
to accommodate six calves, though
the cut shows provision for only four.
OF course, the stanchion can be made
as long or as short as may be desired
and on most farms the material nec-
essary Is already at hand. In such
cases the cost would be nothing more
than the labor OF construction. The
drawing is so clearly made that per-
haps no further details are necessary
about the method Of building. and any
man who is handy with tools can con-
struct this stanchion in very short
time and have 1t in operation.
The results of experimental work
in calf feeding at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station have been pub
lished In the form of bulletins, and
may be had by addressing that insti-
tuition.

day, and then put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on. The first day put it on, 1t
relieved me of itching so could sleep

Summarizing these results, Prof. l..
A. Merrill. in a recent bulletin, report
Ing seven years investigations in dry
farming methods. says: "The writer's
opinion is that on deep. heavy clay
soils. plowing to depth Of ten inches
will insure as good and possibly better
results than plowing to a greater
depth. but that on lighter soils an oc-
casional plowing to depth Of fifteen
to eighteen inches is advisable.
While the results above mentioned
are not applicable to all sections. and
plowing the land to depth of ten
inches regardless of local conditions,
we believe they are Of value in call.
Ing the attention of our readers to the
fact that the average farmer is not
plowing his land deep enough. Those
who are plowing their stubble lands
this fall in anticipation of droughty
conditions next year should plow their
land from one to two inches deeper
than they have been doing in the past.

seven inches deep will undoubtedly
improve the producing power of their
land by plowing seven or eight inches
this fall, while those who have been in
the habit Of plowing only four or five
inches in depth may we'll plow two
inches deeper. This, of course. Is only
general statement, and each person
must determine for himself what he
may reasonably expect from deeper
plowing. However. as a general propo.
sition there is no question but that
we have reached the stage when we
must work our land deeper and give 1t
more surface cultivation.
II deeper plowing conserves more
moisture IN the arid belt, there is no
reason why 1t should not also do the
same In the humid belt No one knows,
of course. whether next year will be a
dry one or not, but even II we should
have normal rainfall our soils will
still be short of moisture. We never
have what Is ordinarily called wet
year following dry year. Let us pre-
pare for a shortage of moisture next
year; 1t will be money in our pockets
to do so.
