RACK TO THE FARM.

humdrum life of the farm for the
city, with it's salaried positions. Its
tinsel and glitter. on the step which
has been decided on by W. G. Brown.
There are so many men by the name of
Brown that such simple statement
about him will not arouse much in
terest. Well. the Brown in question
was born on a farm, grew tired of 1t,
learned telegraphy, became an opera
tor, then agent, assistant superintend-
emf, and so on. until he became presi-
dent Of the New York Central. one OF
the greatest railroads in the land
But after a few years Of the terrific
grind and responsibility he is going
back where he started from. to the
farm, to enjoy little quiet and peace
and contentment before it Is too late.
He says that places of large salary
those at the top-are will-o' -the-wisps,
elusive and disappointing and do not
satisfy the longing Of the one who
covets them. He will soon retire to a
fine farm he has and there devote his
energy and brains to a scientific till
ing of the soil and to raising the finest
of blooded stock. 1t IS wholesome
picture, and we need more men possess
ed Of this mans judgment and the
good sense to carry such plan into
execution

To the farmer dissatisfied with his

HAY CURING MACHINE.

References in the agricultural news
Of the past few months tell of a ma
chine recently invented by experiment
tors employed by the department Of
agriculture which will take in green and
steaming hay at one end and deliver 1t
dry. cured and baled at the other. II
this report is true it means boon has
been discovered for the hay farmer in
all of the humid sections which 1t
would be hard indeed to estimate.
There Is little question that hay han
died in this way would preserve max
imum amount Of It's nutritive elements,
while the farmer would be freed from
the anxiety and loss incident to un-
favorable weather at cutting time.

Dairy Doings.

Feeds too expensive for dairy cows
usually indicate fault either with the
COW or with the dairyman.
With a thoroughly good COW to man
ufacture 1t we can always afford to
put in feed and take out butter
The dairyman who takes his money
out Of the savings bank to build silo
makes a good investment Of idle capi-
tal
The cream separator, the Silo and
the manure spreader should find q
place in the equipment of every dairy
farm.
The chemist cannot find that silo
adds anything to the nutritive .ele-
ments in n cornstalk. but ii does add
palatabllity and that counts for good
DEAL
Happy Is the cow whose owner grew
crop Of mangels. This root equals
silage. The Holstein cattle men would
! hardly undertake to test Il cow for
great production without mangels.
81 am satisfied that many of the
dangers which are attributed TO milk
are absorbed by It after 1t reaches the
consumers Eome. State and munich
pal regulations in reference to the con
tamination OF milk Will have but little
effect If the sanitary conditions OF
streets. of homes and of tonements are
not first made good."-Dr. r. 3. Voor'
hees.
There are many farmers who do not
keep enough COWS to supply mills
enough for the table and to support
The pigs from which the pork and ba
con are to be made. There may bt
good reasons why dairy COWS shoulc
not be kept for profit. but 1t is hare
to find reason for not keeping enough
to supply the family table with mill
and butter.

Orchard and Garden.

Scatter wood ashes through the or
chard. especially on the sandy parts.
If you are not using any system Of
cover crops keep the orchard well cul-
tivated for two reasons. to keep down
weeds and to conserve the soil mois-
ture.
Rough, stormy weather shnuld be
utilized in preparing the frames ana
In replacing broken glass in the hot
bed and cold frame sash. 1t is desir-
able to paint sash Mt least every other
year.
If the orchard IS IN old one with
trees headed high let the chickens run
In it and disk frequently. at least twice
in three weeks. This will not only
cultivate, but also furnishes good
scratching place for the chickens.
If the orchard is young 1t should, OF
course, be headed low. In this case
work under the trees with an exten-
sion frame harrow. This harrow has
frame which may be extended so as
10 throw the discs out to the sides.
This tool may be used rs al ordinary
harrow or may be used to straddle
rows and is very useful tool for the
horticulturalist
Look for borers In the trunks of the
young peach trees. If you find holes
with gum exuding. either dig out the
borer or kill him by. thrusting a piece
of wire into the hole and twisting 1t
around. Examine NIL CRAFTS and re-
move any branches which might switch
them loose. If the scions are growing
cut away all the suckers which have
started around the edges Of the cut.

Alfalfa Is IL native Of India, but has

1t did not reach North America until

United States; but. according to agri-

A Paradox For the Farmer.

In some localities land has doubled
In value in the last decade. Where
this Is true the farmer must make his
land produce just twice us much in
order to- realize the same profit. If
he does not do this he is getting poor
er instead Of richer, although his land
Is worth more.
