IMPORTANT To DAIRYMEN.

1t looks very much as if the day was
not far distant when all dairymen
furnishing milk to cities of any consid
cradle size would be compelled to test
their cows yearly for the detection Of
tuberculosis. The supreme court of the
United States has affirmed the deci-
sion of a lower court granting munich
palities the right Of insisting on this
test, and this gives the necessary foun-
dation. The wise dairyman who looks
to the future of his business will not
only take the steps necessary to eradi-
cate the disease, but will look carefully
to the conditions under which his cows
are kept so as to reduce to a minimum
the likelihood of the development of
the disease. And he will be justified in
advertising his milk as from tubercu-
lin tested COWS

FOR CANNING SMALL FRUIT.

A lady reader of these notes gives
the writer the following recipe for
canning strawberries, raspberries and
other small fruits and has given him
a can of fine looking strawberries as
proof that the method she follows is
a success: She first sterilizes her cans
and covers with boiling water, then
fills them with the uncooked berries.
setting the cans in a dishpan contain
ing a quantity of warm water. Prior
to this she has prepared her strip,
which is boiling hot. AS soon as the
water in the pan is brought to boil
the cans containing the berries are re-
moved to a platter and the strip is
then poured over them. AS the ber-
ries shrink some. reducing the volume
in the cans, enough strip is added so
that the cans run over. The covers
are then screwed on, and the job is
done. The chief advantage of this
method seems to be that the berries re-
tain their shape much better than
where they are cooked for some time.

SEED CORN TESTS.

Recent tests which the students of
the agricultural course of the high
school in the writer's home town have
made of a large supply Of seed corn
saved last fall have brought out two
interesting facts-frst that ears that
were picked and hung up in September
before any heavy frost occurred show
a practically perfect termination test.
while ears that were picked after the
first heavy freeze not only show a
larger number of dead kernels. but in
many instances the terminating power
of those that grow is weak. If the
average farmer would act on the infor-
nation contained in these tests-pick
his corn before there is any frost and
use care in keeping it dry during the
winter-there would be practically no
such thing as seed corn problem.

Bits of Worldly Wisdom.

POOR MANAGEMENT.

The Nebraska College of Agriculture
last year sent out inquiries to 1000
farmers who are engaged in the grow
ing of wheat and found that with but
few exceptions they burned their
straw. The station officials say that
in effect these, farmers, as well as
thousands of others who follow the
same practice in Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma. are guilty of arson and are
directly impairing the productivity and
physical quality of their soils. The
station discourages this practice and
urges the use of the straw as rough
age for winter feeding, as a fertilizer
as a preventive of soil blowing. to i'm
prove the drainage, to loosen heavy
and adhesive soils and for bedding.

Train Seven Years Late.

There is at least one instant on
record of a train reaching its
destination seven years late.
This was on the Gulf and Inter-
state railway, now included in
the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe system. The train started on
II mile journey on Sep
TENDER 8, 1900. Thirty-three
miles out it was surrounded by
waters from the Gulf of Mexico,
which had flooded the railway.
When the water subsidized. the
train was high and dry on the
prairie, the only rails left being
those on which it stood. For
miles up and down the line not
a vestige of track remained, says
the Railway Magazine. The en-.
CINE and four cars were abandon
ed, and remained a landmark.
Eventually the affairs of the
Gulf and Interstate reviewed.
The road was rebuilt, and at last
the rails from either end were
connected with those under the
long overdue train. Mechinists
looked over the rusty locomotive
found it in good condition, they
fred her up, and moved off.
The news was telegraphed to
PortBoliver, the terminus, and
when the train, more than seven
years late, arrived, the time of
her temperance and length of
delay were gravely chalked on
the bulletin board.

GenlIemen, Take Notice!

A sunshiny husband makes a
merry, beautiful home, worth
having, worth working for. If a
man is breezy, CHEEKY, consider
ate and sympathetic, his wife
sings in her heart over her pud-
dings and her mending baskets,
counts the hours until he returns
at night, and renews her youth
in the security she feels of his
appreciation a n d admiration.
You may think it weak and child
ish, if you please, but it is the
admired wife, who hears word
of praise and receives smiles of
commendation, who is capable,
discreet and executive. | have
seen timid, meek, self-distrust-
ing little body fairly bloom into
strong, self-reliant womanhood
under the TOMS and the cordial
of companionship with her hus-
band who really went out of his
way to finG occasion for show
ing her how fully he trusted her
Judgment, and how tenderly he
deferred to her opinion.
In home life there should be
no Jar, no striving for place, no
insisting on prerogatives or di-
vision of interest. The husband
and the wife are each the conf
p,iment of the other. And it is
lust as much his duty to be
cheerful as it is hers to be pa
tient; his right to bring JOY into
the door as it is hers to garnlsh
the pleasant interior. A family
where the daily walk of the
father makes life a festival IS
filed with something like heav-
ly benediction.

SOME ALFALFA EXPERIMENTS.

In view Of the widespread as well as
increasing interest in the subject of
alfalfa growing it is worth giving a
summary in this department of bulle-
tin No. 1856, which has been lately is
sued by the Nebraska experiment sta
ton and tells of the experience of
farmers in different parts of the state
in getting start with this valuable
legume. Twelve farmers co-operated
in the work. carrying it on according
to suggestions and directions of the
station directors. In this cooperative
experimental work it was the aim to
try out and compare the effect of three
treatments in securing stand of al
falfa and on subsequent growth
first. liquid nitrogen cultures sent out
by the United States department of
agriculture; second, soil from well
established alfalfa fields, and, third.
farm manure. Owing to the prevalence
Of drought and grasshoppers during
the years 1910 and 1911 there was a
failure on the part of some Of the CO.
operators to get a stand, but the re-
suits secured by those who did get
stand brought out the following con.
illusions: That the use Of farm manure
in proper amounts and properly ap-
piled is to be strongly recommended.
that where difficulty is experienced in
getting a stand the soil should be in
oculated and that incubation with
soil from a well established alfalfa
field or sweet clover patch gave uni
formly better results than were secur-
ed by the use of liquid cultures.
