II is interesting to notice that this
paper believes that ireland will give
the commission the most valuable ex-
ample of agricultural self-help and in
dividual initiative:
Americans have much to learn
from us in the matter of provident,
scientific. and intensive farming: but.
apart from that, we are not yery
much more advanced than they are in
the organization Of agriculture as a
business or in our political recognition
or rural interests. 1t is in ireland
that the visiting commissioners will
find such enlightenment as the British
Isles are capable of furnishing on the
subjects of their inquiry. With the
principles and practices of co-opera-
tion they will already have familiariz-
ed themselves at first hand during
their continental tour. But in Ire
land they will see what can nowhere
else he seen-an English-speakine
community applying these principles
and practices to their own conditions
ana in many ways improving on them.
They will also see in the Irish DEPART
ment of agriculture and its activities

lahoring with the people as we'll as for
them, keeping in touch with the needs
Of each district without losing its CEN
tralized efficiency, and bringing state
aid to agriculture in such a way as to

Tainted meat is not fit for chickens,
even though part of the badness can.

tanning baking soda.
Bone meal is also fed by some poultry
men, but the green cut bone and
meat scraps will contain all the neces-

are really needed. Fish. though con-
tanning many of the requirements OF
poultry. should not be fed, for the rea-
son that it. may transmit its flavor to
the. eggs.
Milk is being used more each year.
1t is. however, too costly to be used
extensively. If it can be purchased
cheap. or If one has a COW, 1t may
be used to moisten mash food. Sour
milk. however. may be given to chick
with profit, because in most FAM
lilies it is not used in. it's sour state.
With the aid OF the brief table CIV
en- last week the chicken raiser will
be able to get some idea of adjusting
his rations so that he will get the
maximum result. for nearly the mini
mum cost.
In addition to the food, he must
not forget that grit should be before
the fowls at all times, and that the
natural way for the chicken to digest
most Of its food is by grinding 1t in
it's gizzard.

BCRYING WOODS TO PREVENT
SHRINKING.

Minneapolis Tribune: Those to
whom the furnishing OF their homes
rs a matter of sincere expression OF
love of beauty have long been FESTIVE
under the disposition OF manufacture
ers to build up" woods. hi practice
has gone so lar that three-ply con-
struction, that is to say three thln
each other, is now Il commonplace.
Lately a door manufacturer has ad-
vertised five-ply frames and panels.
The justification for this practice
has been fairly complete. 1t has been
the largest practicable offset against
the Wrapping OF furniture and interior
woodwork. No amount of seasoning
or kiln drying seems to safeguard wood
trim against modern methods OF neat
ing. Even wainscot purchased from
buildings erected in the middle ages
and installed in American mansions
has been known to warp badly out of
shape when subjected to steam or hot
water heat.
The average householder, neVerthe-
less, is not pleased to look upon an
oaken table and reflect that it is not
solid oak as it seems, but a kind OF
bacon of wood and glue. In office
buildings, hotels n cafes this resent
ment is intensified by Il realization
that oftentimes the decoration which
Gems to be fine carving is only a COM
position covered n stained.
Wherefore, American home makers
as we'll as builders and architects will
have a great interest in a special treat
ment of native woods which has late
ly beer tried with success in Germany.
Freshly cut birch. oak, elm or spruce
is buried in earth mixed with lime
and other materials and left there
from three to tive months. "A re-
markably tine color is said to be i'm
parted 10 the wood so that it can be
used without painting or staining. Of
more Importance is the announcement
that after this treatment it has prac-
tically no tendency to shrink or swell.
The effect on the cost of wood is
not given. 1t has probably been to
increase the price. If it should de-
velop that wood can be buried and
watched, resurrected and cleaned, and
that it can be unproductive for several
months in addition to the usual sea-
soning without increasing the cost to
the that will indeed be a
surprise.
But if the increase in cost is mod
crate. as it may we'll be, American
householders will generally desire to
pay it If they can. We are becoming
Ruskinites more n more. We do
not desire to rear our children in an
atmosphere of things that pretend to
be something they are not. Most of
US who have endured the experience
of having children discover the sham
underlying some of the things thai
become factors in their daily lives will
pay any reasonable sum within our
reach to surround these children with
sincerity.

OUR AGRICULTURAL SPIES IN
EUROPE.

A commission composed of two DEL
egates from every state in the union
has been for the past three months en-
gagged in examining European agricul-
ture. The general purpose for which
the commission sailed on April 26
from New York to Naples was to look
into the methods employed by
sive farming communities in produc-
ton n marketing, and in the fnanc-
ing of both these operations. The
London Times, in welcoming these
delegates to London, speaks in the fol-
lowing complimentary terms of Mr..
Roosevelt's influence in the dispatch
of such a delegations:
ut is a sign of the awakening of a
new American consciousness that such
a commission should have been sent
to Europe at all. Many phases of Mr..
Rossevelt's presidency will pass away
and be forgotten. But the stand he
took on the conservation Of the nat
ural resources Of the country and on
the betterment OF rural life seems
likely to prove permanently produce
tive. He was the first American to
insist that these two allied questions
involve h final basis of national DOW
err and perpetuity; and he was the first
to dwell, not SO much on the size and
m%agniicence Of the American inheri-
lance Of soil, forest, minerals, water.
m coal. as on the rapidly and reck-
lessness with which they were being
squandered. The Americans have
dealt with their resources, and deal
with them today, in the pioneer spir-
1t of sheer wanton pillage. The soil
especially has been SO shamefully mis-
handled that its crop-producine power
is both actually and relatively on the
decline. The United States presents
the curious anomaly Of a land that is
still thre parts virgin, still in the
still three parts Of its growth. still as
tonishingly under-populated. and yet
faced with a rural problem not es-
sentially different from our own in
Great Britain"
