THE MUD TAX is HEAVY.

With the return Of milder weather
after the season of intense cold and
heavy snowfall has come condition
which has served to practically isolate
the farmers in some sections of Kan
sas from their fellow men. Thanks
10 the rural telephone, they are sill
In communication with the world
which lies beyond their woven wire
fences, but the roads are in such bad
condition that very little travelling IS
done and the transportation Of heavy
commodities is practically impossible
AS the intense heat and drOuth of
last summer turned attention. in
more intense and personal way, to the
value of the silo, so the impossible
condition of the rural highways has
awakened a greater personal Interest
in the gospel of good roads. PERHAPS
there never was time in the history
of Kansas when the interest in good
roads was so intense or so general
among all classes as right now. Var
ious influences have tended TO pro-
duce this Influence but none have
seemed to clnch it like the muddy
condition which followed the heavy
snowfall and cold weather. There is
little excuse for bearing up under
this almost unbearable mud tax when
any handy man can make road drag
which any boy can drive. The use of
the road drag is certain to improve
the roads and reduce the mud tax
at least 100 per cent, while the added
use of some of the crude oil which
pours forth in millions of barrels eact
year from beneath Kansas sod would
make the country road almost the
equal of the city street and at only a
fraction of the cost. In one respect
good roads are like heaven-he OBJ
jects OF very general desire and of
very general neglect. kansas Farmer

oVERPRoDUcTloN NEED NOT BE
FEARED.

At a recent gathering of Kansas
farmers it was suggested that the
thing to work for is how to sell the
crops now raised rather than how
to produce larger yields.
Both are important. 1t is true
that the cost to get produce from
the producer to the consumer is too
great, but still the farmer is receiT-
ing fair prices. Along with the search
t. find the best way to market farm
produce, the farmer should seek to
raise the largest possible crops con-
Sistent with the cost of production
and the maintenance of soil fertility.
There was time when production
of farm crops exceeded the demand
for them. During the 25 years pre-
ceding 1911 a vast area Of virgin soil
was cultivated for the first time. The
worst system OF soil robbery ever
known was in full operation at the
close Of the last century. A vast
amount Of poor farming is still prac-
ticed, but the light has begun to breal
and all over the country are notable
examples Of farming on scientific
principles.
At the Kansas meeting referred to
it was admitted that scientific agricul
ture might double the yield, but i
was claimed that the increased yield
would so lower the prices that the
farmer would get no more for his Ia
Dor. As a practical proposition nc
farmer need fear that his good work
in securing larger crops will glut the

TO AVOID CONTAMINATION.

The dairy department Of one OF the
agricultural colleges calls attention TO
many things that are important TO be
observed in securing pure milk.
It is now generally known that bac-
tenia takes an active part in making
milk unfit for food. Souring, bad odors
and bitterness are usually due to some
form of micro organism.
Then, every possible procedure must
be adopted to exclude foreign mater
lal, which may carry with It millions
of bacteria. The hard thing TO i'm
press upon people in general is the
minuteness of these organisms. II
must be remembered that millions OF
these little fellows exist in a drop of
milk or water.
OF course, live steam is highly i'm
portant in cleaning milk bottles. The
ordinary reg is a seething mass of
bacteria.
Keep the dust out of the COW barn
as much as possible. All shelves
should be busted every day; also the
tops of Sanctions and benches.
The COW should first be brushed
with a common stable brush; them
as the mixer sits down TO milk he
should wipe the flank and the udder
with a clean, damp rag.
The clothes of the mixer should
be used only for the purpose of milk
Ing and no other and of course
should be clean.
The pail should be partially covered
Lime is a good agent to sprinkle
about the barn.
The milk should be cooled as quick
ly as possible.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN MILO
MAIZE AND PEANUTS.


That Spanish peanuts and milo
maize are the two great future dry
farming crops for the southwest ID
the assertion Of Prof. H. NJ. CottreA.
the we'll known agriculturist. The
statement appears in the new haad-
book Of the International Dry-Farmig
Congress, whose next great convenu0
viii be held in Lethbridge in October.
Prof. Co,trell asserts that ten pounds
Of milo maize have the same food
value for all purposes as nine pounds
Of corn and that the average yield a
milo for seven years in the PaDhan-
die country has been 30 bushels a
year under dry-farming methods. That
gives food equivalent of 81 bushels
of corn, which cannot in many in
stances, be raised for grain at all
Milo will become the standard, feed
crop of the entire southwest, says
Prof. Cottrell, and combined with pea
nut hay, it makes perfectly balanced
ration for fattening both beef and
pork for the market. One acre u
milo, he states, will produce an aver
age of 300 pounds Of pork each year.
while the best states In the corn belt
will only average enough corn 70 pro-
duce 400 pounds of pork to the acre.
The Spanish peanut is a legume
and like alfalfa, enriches the land On
which It Is grown. The nuts contain
40 per cent of oil and more than mat
of protein, or muscle building food.
The peanut hay Is practically equal
TO alfalfa for roughage, yield from one
half to one ton to the acre, besides
heavy yield Of nuts, and sells at a
price within 50 cents a ton Of the
best alfalfa.
Prof. Cottrell cites an instance IN
which hogs were turned into the pea
nut field to gather the crop Of tops
and nuts, and the net result was 1923
pounds of pork 10 the acre. He be-
lieves that, with the more general In
PRODUCTION of these two crops, the
southwest is destined to become one
Of the greatest pork and beef finish
ing districts in the entire United
StatesL-Fam Press.

markets and cause a slump in prices.

markets and cause a slump In prices.
The low prices for farm crops that
prevailed during this time Of great
production caused the tide OF moving
70 go cityward. Despite the back
tothe-land" propaganda the trend Of
population is still towards the cities.
We believe that the movement toward
the country has begun, but do not
fear that overproduction will be a
result.
James Hill has pointed out that 40
years ago a farmer had to feed but
one person other than himself; now
ne has 70 feed two other persons. In
other words, the farmers were one
half Of the population 40 years ago
and now they are only one-thind of
the population.
The price Of corn and other grains
Is somewhat dependent on the price
of beef and pork. During the ten
years preceding 1900 the country gain
ed 81 per cent in population and rails
ed 5000, 900 fewer hogs and 2 900, 900
fewer cattle. Scientific farming will
have to proceed at faster rate than
It has to so increase the production
that the growing population cannot
take care Of It at good prices.
Keeping down production may be a
comfortable theory for a lazy farmer
but it's a poor policy for a man who
wants to get on in the world. Every
farmer who reads this article may be
assured that in 1912 he will reap his
sure reward in net returns for all Of
the better farming ideas he puts into
practice.-NIissouri & Kansas Farmer.

WOMEN AND POULTRY.

BY Mrs. B. F. Wilcox, in Farm Press.
In thousands Of instances the wife
makes more with the poultry than is
made in any other line on the farm.
Women succeed in any calling they
enter il they give It their time and
close application
Success means hard work and that
Is all there IS TO Il. have been for
several years closely connected with
the poultry business and have met
large number Of women in the bust
ness. They are all energetic. They
know how TO push aside the Difficult
ties that arise in the poultry business.
There is no field open today that is
less crowded than this; none that Of
fers as good returns for ones labor,
none that affords so much freedom
when taken up as a vocation, and
none that makes one so nearly indie
pendent Of others.
Some Of our best planned farms. as
well as the best paying ones are the
outgrowth of woman's skill and inge-
nuity. Most women show a qualifi-
cation of neatness about poultry of
which men are occasionally void and
as cleanliness is an important factor,
she often outstrips our lords of crea-
ton" in results obtained. The care
Of poultry is productive Of good healt
to those engaged therein, giving them
sufficient exercise in the open air,
and Just enough care and responsible
ity 10 make their work interesting
and to make them feel their import
ance.
This field for women Is almost I'M
limited and It pays better profits than
they can reasonably expect from most
other business ventures. When all
things are considered, there is no ag-
rlcultural industry l know of that
furnishes so unlimited a field and
pays so large a profit on the capital
invested, and none that requires so
little hard work as the poultry indus
try.

NEIeHBoRHooD IMPROVEMENT.

"The Neighborhood Improvement
Clubs have for their purpose the
building of higher levels of community
life, higher economic Levels, social
and civic levels, higher health levels,
moral levels, educational levels, and
higher levels of crop production. More
and more the men and women in the
open country and the villages of Kan
sas are coming to believe that COM
munity problems must be solved by
the men and women in the cOmmun-
ity. It is true that inspiration and
guidance may come from outside, but
the problems must be solved by the
members of the community. Local or
ganizatiOn, local cooperation and local
leadership are absolutely necessary
factors in community building" says
Prof. E. L. Holton of the Kansas
State Agricultural College in a recent
bulletin upon this subject.
For hundreds of years our school
training has been away from instead
of towards the farm and home. It
leads toward dissatisfaction with ru-
raj conditions and directly towards
commercialism. Our high schools
have been preparing the few for col
lege at the expense of the many who
should be prepared for community
life.
The farm is the foundation of all
of our national prosperity, and yet the
farm boy and girl do not get their
fair share of educational advantages.
The rural church is in a state of dec
Rdence, the public highways are poor
ly kept, and our policy has been
waSteful of human life in our neglect
Of sanitary conditions.
Each of these facts suggests a prob
lem which is fundamental in its ma
ture and which cannot be solved ex-
cept through community action. Every
community can be what it wills to be,
but it must be organized into coop
erative action or nothing is done. An
unorganized community is in a state
Of decadence.
Alfalfa is the most wonderful of all
cultivated plants, and the Oldest one
known to history. 1t has been given
honorable mention as far back as gra-
ven and written records go. It fat
tened the cattle of pre-civilized time,
and before the breeds we're establish
ed. It has been the Foundation of
prosperity in many lands, and was the
basis Of new prosperity in Kansas.
1t will grow in amy land of the tenn
perate zones, though it thrives best
in rich soil. There is no state in the
union in which it will not grow, and
few localities where it is not a wealth

producer on good soil. It is a vora-
cious feeder and needs rich earth. It
is never a soil rObber, as with proper
handling, it returns 70 the soil much
of what it takes away. Men have
studied this plant for ages, and it still
presents new problems. During the
past season, when other crops were in
jured by adverse weather conG tons
and when the alfalfa appeared to be
the million acres of this wonderful
crop on Kansas farms surprised us
with a good yield Of hay and astontEh-
ed us with a yield Of seed such as
had not been deemed possible. In
many instances the alfalfa yield of
the summer of 1911 more than equal
ed the value of the high priced land
on which it grew. The farmer who
has alfalfa TO sell has an equivalent
of ready money at any time. But
those who are the fortunate owners
OIL a field of this WONDERFUL crop and
who used their good judgment to har-
vest one crop of seed last summer,
have had such returns as rarely come
from even Kansas farms.
The term ''comltry" will soon be
thing Of the past in the United
States vocabulary. With telephones,
rural mail routes, gas and electric
lights, hot and cold water from fau-
Gets, good roads, improved school fa-
cilities and university extension as
common factors in farmers everyday
