expected that the state railroad
commission will place It's 0. X. on
the proposition submitted to II to-
day for the Michigan state Tele-
phone company, OF Detroit, 10
purchase the Home Telephone
and other small lines In the city
OF Detroit for j consideration Of
$3,29o,o0o.
Chairman Glasgow fixed the
date for the formal hearing for
July 10, but the whole PROPOSE
ton was set forth In the prelim-
mary petition filed today. II this
deal meets with the approval OF
the commission similar mergers
are expected from other sections
Of the state where two telephone
companies are now doing bus
ness.
Glasgow says that IL is a step
In the right direction, and as long
as the public service corporations
are under the direct control Of the
state or federal authorities there
Is no chance for the public to suf.
fer as a result Of the consolida-
ton. The state railroad commits
sion has absolute authority 10 fix
the rates and Glasgow says that
with one company operating in
Detroit. the rate should be lower
than 10 called for In the existing
contracts.
On various occasions the state
railroad commission has received
numerous letters from business
men asking that an effort me
made TO place all Of the telephone
companies Of the state under one
head. This would do away with
double phone rental and would
provide much better service, il is
claimed. Chairman Glasgow init
mates that the time is not far
distans when all Of the telephone
companies of the state will be
controlled by one concern.

EXCELLENT FEEDS
TO FATTEN LAMBS
Use OF Alfalfa for RouGhaas
Simp1ines Question Con-
siderab1y-Peas are
Recommended.

BY ]. r. M'NULTY. Colorado Agritul-
tural College,
The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying TO
solve Is that Of the most economical
concentrate to be used in %fattening his
lambs.
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for a roughage simpliiies the
above problem considerably. Alfalfa
sunplies the protein, and when fed
with a fattening concentrate, as corn
OF barley, reduces the amount OF Iced
required for a pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is Just n tri1e better, pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed in con-
nection with one of the legume hays
as clover or alfalfa. There is little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay or
with o stover. This follows from
the fact that such a ration would lack
considerably in protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat excel corn
pound for pound, when fed with rough
ages lacking protein, as the ones last
named. Whole barley may be lea
very successfully to %fattening sheen
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased for a price comparing
favorably with that Of corn in Colora'
do has suggested the feeding OF TINS
concentrate with alfalfa hay for Tat
tening lambs. In this combination
however. we have W. feeds high IN
protein and consequently an unDal-
anced ration. Oil meal is fed quite
extensively with timothy hay ana
roots. in which combination it gives
very good results. On the other hahd'
very few records of sheep fattened on
cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
able. for, as a rule, protein rich ieeus
(alfalfa and oil meal) are the most
extensive nutrients Of n ration ana
are not usually combined. II is very
probable, however. that some COTTON
seed meal can be fed when aliaiia is
fed. IL we use a mixed ration OF corn
and c~ottonseed meal. The best pro.
portion would perhaps be one.tniru
cottonseed meal and two-thirds corn
either shelled or cracked. TINS com,
bination should give good results ano

STATES AMAZING TO DANGER
Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment Of the tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
for consuInntiyes in 20 states were
provided during the year ending June
l, according to a statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes a total Of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years. the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14,428 in 1907, to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York State leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June /; Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, a close third with 200.
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age Of increase in the last year by add.

Georgia comes next with 100 beds add
ed TO 240 a year ago. New York has

A Profitable Bunch of Youngsters.

What should be a strong inducement
to every owner of a farm with COWS
TO make and sell butter is the fact
that this form of dairying makes it
possible not only to maintain the soil
fertility, but to constantly add to it.
While the solids in the milk con-
tain the most essential elements of
fertility, the butter fat contains no
element of fertility at all. Hence, the
selling of milk in large quantities in
eyitably reduces the productiveness
Of the farm unless a large proportion
Of the feed for the COWS is bought off
the farms, instead Of being grown on it.
On the other hand, butter contains
practically nothing that constitutes
an element of fertility in the soil. says
a writer in Farm Progress. For this
reason, If one has a poor farm. and
wants TO adopt a line Of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make It productive, the best plan will
be TO keep COWS, and sell the cream
or butter. And the more feed one
buys, and the less he takes off his
own place, except clover. the sooner
the soil may be made rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover. cowpeas. Canada pea!
and other legumes. l have concluded
that for soil improvement the rec
clover or alsike, will be found th'
best thing for the purpose. I would
only use alsike in case the lant
to be improved was rather moist, a
on that sort Of soil it will usual.
make a better growth than common
red or any other, except white clover
and that does not make a sufficient.
bulky growth TO serve the purpos'
best.
In some experience of my own,
have found that sowing orchard gras
and clover together makes a most eN
cellent pasture; and. II one keeps tn
stock off, It is possible TO get
growth that will make a fine mixtur
for hay: but when clover is cut at tn
right time and properly cured. Their
is no more nutritious forage that ca
be grown.

AS l have found that wen work
stock can be kept in good condition
on w%ell-cured nay, if allowed to eat a
full ration at each meal, | have about
concluded that on the great majority
of farms a large portion of the grain
fed to work stock may be eliminated
If plenty of good, bright clover hay is
fed to all stock, and sufficient time
allowed for the horses to eat it. This
may seem to be a sort of heresy to
the vast number of men all through
the big corn states, who feed little
grain, except corn, and some Of them
no roughage part of the year except
corn fodder. But I know whereof
speak; some of the best teams that
have ever seen are lever fed anything
except clover hay, unless by chance
that runs low, and it is necessary to
feed timothy hay; and, when that is
done. a feed of corn is given along
with It.
1t always seems to me very remark
able that so few men use clover as the
principal feed for their stock, when
there is such inducement to do so. !
have never known of a case where
any one was not pleased with the re-
suits in feeding clover hay to work
horses. if he had good, bright hay
and gave a reasonable grain ration
in the shape of corn with it.
Where the chief grain fed is oats
the clover is not suitable. because the
percentage of starchy matter or its
equivalent would not be properly
proportional to the proteids. AS
know men who have for years not fec
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily, and they have KEPT
in fine condition, and at steady worl
on nothing but nice. clean, bright
well-cured clover hay. it seems to me
that a great many men are wasting
money in their method of feeding
and are failing to improve their sol
because they do not SOW the clover.
Probably the latter is the more i'm
portant point to be considered. Com
mon sense and clover are might,
good factors in successful farming.

USE OF GYPSUM
OR LAND PLASTER
Practice Nearly Always Increases
Yield Of followers and
PeaS-How to
Apply it.

Plaster nearly always increases the
growth of the clovers and peas. Mixed
with an equal quantity of wood ash,
it is largely used by gardeners and
truckers to stimulate the growth of
early potatoes, corn, beans and cab
bage.
Plaster is a sulphate of LIME. and
both the sulphuric acid and the lime
are active principals in plant growth.
The time to SOW plaster on clover and
pats and peas is when the plants are
making their first leaves. Sow at the
rate of two bushels to the acre.
On land that has been recently
lined the application of plaster has
little effect. The only way to find out
the value of plaster is to measure off
an acre of clover or an acre of grass
and clover pasture and SOW. say. two
bushels to the acre, leaving the adj
Joining acre upholstered. The growth
of the plastered clover will prove its
value in a few weeks after the plaster
has been sown. When plaster car be
had for $40 per ton it will pay to SOW
IL at the rate of two bushels to the
acre on dry upland meadows and clo-
yer fields, on pastures, oats and peas
and on all the bean family. 1t is also
valuable for sowing on clover stubble
after the first crop has been cut for
hay. The dressing of plaster at this
time will greatly encourage the second
growth clover. On most every farm
there are a variety of soils, and a fer.
tilizer that will prove of value for one
kind of soil 3rd crop will prove of lit
tie value used on an adjoining field,
but having an entirely different char
acter of soil. Test each field and
keep a record of these tests. as they
will prove valuable.

this finest OF preserves. The first IL
strong, steady sunshine, the second
not platters or plates. the third plenty
OF window glass. The fruit should be
perfect and OF good flavor, the sugar
pure. To every pound of fruit allow
a pound Of sugar. Heat the sugar on
tin plates in the oven, taking care not
TO let it melt or get too brown. Ii
should, however, be as hot as possible
without melting. Have in readiness
hot platters or deep plates. Spread
a thin layer of hot sugar over the bot
tom, then a layer OF fruit, n lastly
another layer OF sugar. Cover the
platter with a sheet OF window glass
and place out OF doors in the hot sun
or in a sunny window In an unused
room. II the fruit is out OF doors IL
must be brought in when the sun sets
and set In a dry place in the house
over night. Return TO the sun In the
morning. In two or three days the
fruit Will grow plump and firm and
the syrup almost a Jelly. Pack In
