The gradual and steady advance in
land values is quite accurately shown
In the rapid increase in the rental value
of farm lands In one locality with
which the writer is acquainted a rent
er has agreed to pay So per acre rental
for farm of eighty acres which he
rented two years ago for SIS per acre
and which six years ago he could
doubtless have rented for SO.
The milking of a COW more or less
than 600 times during the year and
finding out at the end Of that time that
she has failed to pay her feed bill by
margin Of SIS or SO ought to result in
something more than surprise in her
owner. for this is a round price to pay
merely for the purpose Of associating
with a bovine on such intimate terms
and under the conditions mentioned.
A family OF boys that the writer
knows well and whose friendship he
prizes highly are being brought up SEN
and devotion on the part Of the moth
err, an example in the father which
does not cancel her admonition and.
besides this. the judicious application
of kindness and an eighteen inch ruler.
This combination will produce good cit
liens if anything will.
The piling of manure in small lots as
it is hauled afield may have some points
in its favor, but from the standpoint of
realizing the largest possible good from
the fertilizing elements contained 1t Is
plainly poorer method than scatter
ing from the spreader. Handled in this
way, the soluble portion of fertilizers
that the manure contains soak at once
into the SOIL while if the manure is
put in piles there is loss by chemical
changes and the escape of gases.
Where the dairyman can receive as
much from the sale of his cream as
from the sale of his milk to a cheese
factory there should be no hesitation
as to which course he should follow.
The sale of the cream leaves the skim
milk at home. and it is this that con-
tains most of those elements the re-
moval of which from the farm means a
depletion of soil fertility. On the con.
trary. the cream sold contains but q
very small portion of these elements.
sterilization" Is term about which
we hear much these days. Its meaning
is known to many. yet there may be
some readers who have not a definite
idea of what the process is. Briefly.
liquid or substance is said to be ster-
ilized when it has been heated for a
stated length Of time at temperature
process kills all bacterial or other life
typhoid or tubercular germs in milk
or water. trichinae in pork and the like.
A man living in Cincinnati Is making
rapid recovery from chronic and
very painful case Of rheumatism as a
result Of subjecting Himself to bee
sting or two daily. He has been tax
ing this treatment some three weeks
and is decidedly improved and no long
er has to use cane. Physicians are
watching this and other similar cases
with a good deal Of interest. The ben
eft of the sting method is said to be
due to the introduction into the system
Of formic acid. the principle which
makes the sting so sharp and painful.
The fellow who has had fine bunch
of hogs wiped out by cholera naturally
wonder how soon it will be safe for
him to go to raising hogs again. II the
premises have been very thoroughly
cleansed and renovated this might be
attempted within a comparatively short
time. Where such precautions have
not been taken hogs have been known
to contract the disease when intro
duced into infected quarters year lat
er and in rarer cases two or three
years II one wishes to continue in the
hog business after a dose OK the chol-
era It is better to completely disinfect
the Old pens and remove to a new To-
cation or build new pens entirely.
There is a whole lot of truck that
seems to pass muster for religion that
comes way short OF commencing itself
to either humanity or good ssDs0 The
kind we have specially in mind is
nicely shown in the case of a fellow
who prayed hong and hard Sunday
morning. but before sundown gougsd a
neighbor out OF $25 on a misrepresen-
tation In a horse trade. Another rs all
too often shown in the status Of the
woman who pretends TO be religious,
