The High Cost of Living.

The recent increase of approximately
five cents pound on the retail price OF
meats has reawakend the old discussion
regarding the cause of the high cost OF
living, according to Professor Alfred
Vivian, acting dean of the College of
Agriculture, Ohio State University. "It
has become the fashion to attribute the
increase in expense Of food materials to
the farmer who produces them," says
Professor Vivian. There is popular
notion in the city that the farmer rolls
in wealth, and it may be matter Of sur
prise to many to know that the average
earnings of the Ohio farmer are under
$3.50 a year. 1t is only the unusual
farmer who makes more than moderate
living, Just as it is the unusual city man
who makes more than a bare subsistence.
The fact is that the price of produce
raised by the farmer is a little higher
than it was ten years ago, while the price
to the consumer has very materially In
creased. OF every dollar paid by the
consumer for farm produce the farmer
receives only 35 cents. In other words,
IS per cent of the cost OF OF food consists
of intermediate charges between the pro-
ducer ana the consumer.
1.-THE consumer himself is largely re-
sponsible for the increase In price. 1t is
not SO very many years ago that the
housewife went to the store and carried
her purchases home In a basket. Now
she orders over the telephone and has
ber purchases sent out in a delivery
wagon or automobile. 1t is not unusual
for the automobile to travel mile to de-
liver five-cent loaf of bread and the ex-
pense of maintaining the delivery system
is necessarily paid by the consumer.
| One used to be content to buy his oat-
meal and wheat grits in bulk; now
he must have his breakfast foods in fancy
packages, the package costing more than
the contents. Formerly one went to the
grocery with pitcher for pint oil
oysters; now they come home in fancy
paper or in tin containers. ALI oi
these things may be sanitary, but at
the same time they cost money, and the
consumer pays the bill. At the same
time none of this increase in price goes
to the producer. One constantly hears
about the increase in price OF milk, bu'
the complainer does not realize that the
standard set by modern city milk inspec-
ton has infinitely increased the cost oi
producing milk. II people were willing
to go back to the kind OF milk they
bought twenty years ago they could gel
il for about the same price as they ther
paid. 1t may be that the middlemen dc
not get more than their just proportion
of the profits, but there is something
wrong in a system that requires an ex
penditure for delivery to the consumer
equal TO twice the price paid to th'
producer"

Cheaper Protein Feeds.

In the raising of more OF the feeds
used than have been raised in the past,
may be found an opportunity for large
saving in eastern dairying. At present
many dairyment in the east are mourning
an expense of from IL to 16 cents day
for a grain ration. This can hardly be
afforded BY those who are selling milk
and cream at prevailing wholesale prices.
The legume fodder crops are not appre-
ciated, either for feeding or for soil i'm.
provement, to the extent that they should
be. The Maryland experiment station
has demonstrated that 1t Ia possible 70
replace the usual purchased protein part
of ration with good grade OF alfalfa
without reducing the yield Of milk. Mr..
Voorhees,, of the New Jersey station,
showed that good alfalfa hay is fully
equal to wheat bran In the production
of milk. A number of successful dairy
men in Maryland and Pennsylvania have
told me that they have improved the
quality and the feeding value OF their
rations by growing cowpeas or soy beans
to mix with their corn when FILLING the
silo.
Actual tests have shown that 1t Is pos
sible to produce mixed silage OF two
thirds corn and one third soy beans that
will make a palatable feed and that will
show fully a third higher percentage OF
protein than a good grade Of corn silage.
In the north, good silage can be made
from oats and Canada field peas or from
rye mixed With red clover, but rye is no,
used very commonly. A number OF pro-
gressive Connecticut dairymen have beer
filling their silos with valuable mixture
of rye and clover in late May or early
June, and have followed these crops by
corn grown for silage. Several expert
ments have shown that 1t is possible, by
full utilization of the available legumes
to cut down the usual amount OF pur-
chased feed fully half.
The greatest need of the present day
is for some legume seed crop that car
be grown in the northern belt of states
that will give good yields of seed rich in
protein. Some of the varieties OF the
soy beans are promising for this purpose
for these are nearly as rich In protein as
cottonseed meal. Already good kinds
have been tested for sections south OF
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but FOL
the northern states no varieties have as
yet been developed that will yield enough
to warrant their extensive growth az
seed crops.-Chas. s. Phelps, Country
Gentleman.

Where Weeds are Q Blessing.

Let a man set strawberries on land free
from ordinary annual weeds, and another
set them on land filled with such weeds,
both being OF equal richness, aud the
second man will have the better planta-
ton when fall comes, with better sho v
for fruit the following year. Why!
Because the sight of weeds growing Is
not merely q suggestion to start the
cu.tivator and hoe but demand fol
those tools. II TO weeds appear, cult.
tiyatiou Ia likely to be neglected, and
the growth and propagatation OF plants
will suffer 10 consequence. Weeds are
blessing in disguise, but II . man u
likely to neglect . crop after 1t II

curse instead of blessing.

The Supreme Court

Only four times has the supreme
court responded to the outward voice
Of fashion. The first occasion was
when II was decided to elevate the
bench from the Hoor. for In the old
days the judges occupied the same lev
el as the lawyers and audience. At an
other time the CARPET on the door was
changed after forty years OF service
The next revolution occurred when re
porters were allowed to take notes
within the supreme court room. Be
fore that the attorneys in the supreme
court had to depend entirely on thei'
memories to answer arguments OF op
ponents who cited previous decisions

Repairs on the Barn.

Every business man, in making out
the annual balance sheet which is to
show the profit or loss on business for
the year allows q certain amount for de-
probation in the value Of his equipment
and buildings and for the cost Of repairs.
He also finds slack period at some time
during the year, when the buildings,
machinery and other equipment are
overhauled. Unless he does this, he
will find that the efficiency and produc-
ing power Of his plant will not be kept
up to the standard.
Every farmer who is in the live stock
business is confronted with this same
problem. He has his barn and other
stable equipment, which remains idle q
part of the year, but plays an important
part in the returns from the herd during
the winter. II should receive thorough
overhauling during the summer, 80 as
to have everything in readiness when
fall comes. The floors, unless they are
cement, will probably need repairing in
various places. In dirt floors, all holes
that have been made during the winter
should be filled with clay and packed.
The inside of the barn should receive
a thorough cleaning, and then be given
good coat of whitewash, which will
make it lighter as we'll as more beauti-
full. The hangers, stsnchions, doors or
windows may need some repairs; these
can be taken care of during rainy day.
To increase the life of the barn, 1t should
receive an occasional coat Of paint. There
may be places in the barn that last
winter let in too much cold air, to the
discomfort of the COWS. These should
be taken care of before the rush OF the
season is on. There also may be some
thing wrong with the ventilation In the
barn, which can be remedied by little
work and few boards.
These points may seem like small
matters, but unless looked after they
will do much toward keeping down the
milk flow of the cows, as we'll as reduc-
ing the size of the cream check. Further
than this, there is much pleasure and
satisfaction in working in place that
can be kept clean, and where everything
is convenient and handy. With these
things taken care of and good handling
and feeding, the dairy herd-where such
is kept-should be a profitable adjunct
of the farm during the winter.-W. q.
