SPENDS MANY THOUSANDS OF
NEWSPAPERS THAT SUPPRESSED
1t wasn't because the neWspape
true, for a similar confession about tt
cago would have been published on
under big headlines.
But to Chicago papers there ap
dinary, if not sacred, about the name
the merchant prince, was alive the
Chicago newspapers slobbered over
him every chance they got. He was
made one of Chicago's gods, through
the influence of the newspapers that
got monthly checks from the big
store for newspaper advertising.
Marshall Fields powerful influence
in Chicago was the power of his vast
fortune; and he was the greatest ex-
ploiter of labor Chicago ever knew.
The men, women and children who
worked in his big store were paid
miserably small wages. Yet no news
paper dared make fight for living
wage for them because the news
papers were getting part of the
money he made out of cheap labor.
When his son died it was rumored
all over town that he had been shot
in the Everleigh Club by a woman.
But there was no danger of news
paper publicity that would be dis
agreeable to the Field family. For
the Fields were enormously rich, had
the biggest store in town and spent
hundreds of thousands year for ad-
yertising.
But though both the father and
son are dead and have gone to their
reward, the magic influence of the
Field name and the Field store is still
felt wherever their advertisements
are printed. ..
The power to give and to withhold
newspaper advertising gives undue
prominence and influence to the men
who control it. It isn't the influence
of personality. 1t is the influence of
MONEY. ~.

Proper and imprope: soil grading

proper grading.
fetal means soil which will ap
proach in texture either of the types
recommended. Our effort should
nevertheless. be directed to attaining
as closely as possible these ideals.
Where a pure sand or light
sandy soil is the only foundation for
the lawn a top dressing of two or
three inches of clay should be given
and incorporated with the first four
to six inches of the sand, and after
this, if possible, the area should be
used for the production OF some crop
which gives an abundance of vege
table matter. In ATTITUDES south OF
Washington, d. c., COW peas and soy
beans, and in districts north OF this
red clover, vetches and Canada peas
are suitable for this type of soil i'm
provement. These crops if allowed to
occupy the land until their maximum
under, will act very benefcially upon
the structure of the soil in making it
more retentive of moisture, better
able TO hold fertilizers applied to it.,
and less liable to allow the green
sward upon it to be killed out in
times of droutl!
In establishing lawns all grading
should be done while the land is in
the rough, just after the first break
ing. of the soil by blowing. When the
surface soil is deep and the grading
slight no special care is required, but
where the soil is shallow or the re-
grading to be done considerable, care
must be exercised so as not to make
the surface soil so shallow as to pre-
vent the proper growth of grass.

How to RrAak Up Rroodina.

The best and quickest method of
breaking up broody hens is to build
cage entirely of laths, without any
solid floor to it, and hang or fasten
the cage up outdoors where the air
can pass through it. A, hen treated
IN this way will be broken from set
ting in very few days and 1t is not
necessary to deprive her of food or
water nor to nearly drown her in a tub
of water, as is done too often. Broody
hens should not be starved, but fed all
they will eat. Heavy feeding starts
them laying quickly after their broodi-
ness has been ended Starving them
delays egg production much longer.

Bees in General Farming.

A few of us realize how important
bees are to our farm, garden and
orchard crop. If the bees were ter
minated this year there would be a
failure of the clover seed crop; the
same would be true of many vege-
tables and fruits.
Many flowers must be cross fertil-
lied, and it often requires some in
sect to do this. The apiary may thus
serve a double purpose, furnish the
family with sweets and increase the
seed. vegetable and fruit production

MARKET MILK SOLD
ON BUTTER FAT BASIS
BY PROF. {. H. HARRINGTON,
Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.


There is tendency at present for
men delivering market milk 10 large
cities to keep COWS which will pro-
duce immense quantities Of milk re-
gardless Of quality. Many Of these
men deliver blue-white product
which barely tests the required three
per cent. butter fat. There Is a move
nent cN foot, however, to bring about
the SAFE Of city milk on butter fat
and qlality basis. Such associations
as the Waukesha County Guernsey
Breeders have been no mean fa,.sOr
IN producing a demand for cle2. and
sanitary milk OF the highest quality
Tn line with this movenSrt- an ILL
poiA dairy company is tFTahg out G.
new plan of buying MIX from its
patrons The compary adheres to
the six-month contract arrangements,
but offers ten cents additional per
hundred pounds milk over the con
tract price to all farmers whose
farms. upon inspection, score 65
per cent. ca the score card used
by the Chicago board OF health.
Fines are imposed for the presence of
abnormal dtrt in the milk All milk
IS tested for butter fat; if the test
is 3.S per. cent. a two cent per hundred
premium is paid, and two cents more
is allowed for each additional tenth
per cent, while a reduction of two
cents is made il milk tests only 35
per cent and further two-cent re-
duction fer every tenth below that fig
ure
During the first month this plan
was in operation, of the $50 patrons
delivering milk, 100 were granted the
SIS per cent. score on their dairies.
though ten lost the ten-cent premium
this entitled them to because of UNI
satisfactory sediment tests of their
milk. The low man was paid $3.50
per hundred and the high man $1.7S.
Il is doubtful whether the premium
here allowed for high fat content,
which amounts to 90 cents per pound
for butter fat in excess OF 81 per
cent fat, will prove sufficient to
wean city milk producers from the
larger yield of lower testing animals,
but it is certainly a step in the
right direction. as is the iuducement
offered for a more sanitary product
Probably before superio. quality of
market milk can be awarded more
substantial premium, the consumer or

New Cahhane Variety.

The Enkhuizen Glory cabbage is
receiving more attention, perhaps,
than any other variety introduced in
recent years, says writer in an ex-
change. A few days ago I talked
with a centra! Pennsylvania farmer
who Is most enthusiastic regarding
its merits. The points of special in
terest and value (which he mentioned
are that the heads seldom burst and
that they are almost as solid as Dan
ish Ballhead. The plants are also
certain headers. The variety should
receive general trial throughout the
country. for it may replace some of
the well-known standard varieties.

Wet Lands.

For management of wet lands the
usual advice is to tile drain them; but
an intelligent German farmer now liv-

sometimes pays better to make arti

acre in fish ponds is often reckoned
worth more than an acre in wheat.
The dams can be built with farm Ia
Dor at small expense, and the ponds
add considerably to the beauty of the
scenery. Very often the ponds can be
used to some extent also for irriga-

That failure to secure a suitable
plan for marketing the vine and tree
uroducts of the Northwest VIII bring
bankruptcy to hortculturists OF Ore
gon. Washington, Idaho and Montana
by 1916 is the the prevailing opinion
of leading students of the farming sit

eonian after a careful investigation Of
conditions in these three states.
Probably 10000 cars OF fruit win 90
out of the district as the 1913 contri-
button Of The Northwest to the mar
kets Of the world.
BY 1916 the output, basing calcula-
tions on the present acreage Of young
trees. will be at least 10000 cars. and
it would not be surprising to such
men at t. M, Slagle OF Pullman, II. c,
Sampson of Spokane, A. G. Barnes Of
Walla Walla and II. T. Davidson of
Hood River If the total reached 10000
cars by 1919. At the present average

ing a market for $51 100000 worth OF
the fruit.
Making preparations for Intelligent
ly distributing the crop of 1914 and
the increasing crop of succeeding years
is the biggest problem in the North
west today. 1t begins now with the
location of immigration on lands
which are no longer cheap, by showing
the investor a market which assures
him a fair return, and it reaches for
ward to the time when the tremendous
investments in orchard, fruit and gar
den lands of the Northwest must be
made to pay the grower a reasonable
profit. 1t is a situation that Is being
let alone by all interests except the
grower himself; but should the big
smash come, it would affect every
person doing business in the North
western states.
For example, the timber men are
