Value Of Farm Lands.

Relieved OF the pressure of vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise,
and the value of farm products will
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in the commercial and industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
OF farm products, no particular de.
crease in the cost of living: indeed. it
has increased, if measured by wages.
And so it seems likely to continue
tor years to come. The ever-increas-
ing population will shortly bring
American farm lands to level with
those of western Europe, where till
able land brings from $500 to 5000 per
acre and the prices of food products
are CORRESPONDENCE high. When that
time comes intensive farming will be
practiced and farming will be more OF
an exact science than now.-Indian.

Of time, the day appears intuitive to

OF this division is by no means easy.

above the horizon and the only meth.

In these days of scientific progress,
we are so blase as to be almost proof
against surprise, and genius itself has
to reach high attitudes to merit public
exclamation. 1t was said of Prof.
Owen that, give him bone, and he
could reconstruct Behemoth. There is
Partisan scientist at the moment

nose the head that wore it. They gave
him hat the other day, and he said
it must have been Cuvier's. Research
unearthed the bill of that hat. and
proved the correctness of the dag
nosis. What is more, further research
unearthed a portrait of Cuvier with
the identical hat upon his head!

SHELTER THE STOCK

The other day | took a ten mile
trip into Rockcastle County and was

good cows that we depend so much
upon for our living out in the storm
with the south side OF the rail fence
for shelter and the pile Of dirty corn
cobs the hogs have LETT for a bed is
very unkind to both the cows and the
whole family. The COW cannot be con.

milk. In fact she couldn't If she
would for 1t takes 80 much Of the

FEED THE COWS GRAIN

Cows can't give much milk on
fodder alone. They must have grain,
and corn is not the best grain for
milk cows. II you have good clover
or cow-pea-hay they will do well
with corn alone. But If you have just
fodder and corn, take some of Your
corn to town and trade it for cotton
seed meal and bran and give the
COWS you milk some of these feeds
mixed. A COW should have one pound
OF grain for every three pounds of
milk she gives.
When you start in with the cotton
seed meal, only give a handful or
two In two quarts Of bran. for stock
have to learn to eat it. The amount
Of cotton-seed meal should be in
creased daily till the COW gets all
she needs.
Any questions about feeding will
be cheerfully answered in these

ing: a fat steer gorged with food,
and each day adding to thu layer of
heat holding lat just BENEATH the
SKIN, can withstand considerable cold,
often showing preference for the open

The condition OF the dairy COW Is
In strong opposition TO this, her sys-
TEN being relaxed by the annual drain
Of maternity. and the semi-daIly
heavy loss OF nutrients drawn from
her In the abundant milk flow. The

tect the fundamental difference In

the fattening OK in regard &c ability
to withstand exposure TO the weather.
To be profitably managed and yield
wholesome milk COW must be COM

In November | gave directions for
making a frame of forked posts set
in the ground to be covered with
poles and rails to stack fodder around
and above which when opened to the
south only makes a very good shed
for any kind OF stock and has the
advantage Of having the fodder right
there To feed where the manure can
all be saved and hauled where needed
A day or twos work for two or three
men and boys will be all that is need
ed to set the four to a dozen posts
in the ground depending upon the
number of stock you have to shell
teri and then cover with poles and
rails to hold the fodder up. Poles
or rails, or boards should be spiked
to the back and end posts to keep
the stock from getting at the fod-
der that forms the warm wall CT
the shed.
The fodder should be hauled in
out of the shock in the field any
way to prevent its injury by the
weather. IL stacked around this sort
of a shed 1t will keep bright and
clean till used for feed and at the
same time keep the cold winds and
snow or rain off the stock.
