Pull Bushes Out by the Roots.

q good sized pine tree out OF the way ot

with which We had been removing rocks.

that bushes should have no further ter

them. =,
We soon put the matter to thorough
test with strong pair OF horses and G
long chain. A thicket Of choke cherries
beside . wall were first attacked with
| such convincing results that no doubt re-
| mained a. to the cheapness or efficiency
of the method. BY getting hold OF

Wood the Best Crop on Some Land.


There are many woodlots on land
which is so valuable for raising crops
that the woods should be cleared away,
but there are also many fields 90 poor
that they ought not to have been cleared
and they ought now to be replanted with
timber. The problem of whether
given piece of land should be used az
woodland or for regular farm crops Ia
not simply q question Of whether the
land can be cultivated or pastured, but
of whether 1t will yield better income
il so used than it would yield II In tim
Der. On most farms it Is better business
to keep the poor lands in woods and to
put the available labor and capital into
giving more intensive care to the good
lands, which, because OF their quality,
will respond and repay the expense put
on them.
II there Is poor land on the farm, and
IL 1t Is to be kept in woods, why not
make business of raising crop of tim
Der on that land instead of allowing 1t to
shift for itselfp There Is less expense in
caring for the timber crop than in car
ing for any other crop on the farm. Al
though you may have to wait many
years before harvesting the crop, 1t is
worth while to wait for an income OF
several thousand dollars from few
acres OF land, which without care would
be producing very little. Aud the value
OF that woodlot to your farm will be de-
cidedly greater than the sale value OF the
products which you can sell from it,

Farmers are becoming more apprecl-
ative of what an agricultural education
and expert training means. They see the
results In dollars and cents through larg-
or crops and greater profits from the
farm, and there are thousands who re-
gret that they had no such opportunity
for study while yonng. State and ma

Feed Glover at Home

The other day farmer came to this
town, over six miles, with load OF
clover hay, which he sold for $11. BE
loaded load of manure, for which he
paid one dollar to take home.
To return the manurial value of that
ton of clover to his farm would cost him
at least six dollars, so that all he had for
use of land, cost of making the hay,
housing it and hauling 1t to market was
five dollars, and he lost its feeding value
entirely.
That load Of manure was more than
half water, and its manurisl value was
not over two dollars ut the highest
Wasn't he q fool farmer! / hope you
don't have many Of them In Maine.
Suppose he had kept that hay at home
and fed 1t wisely. He would have real.
lied its feeding value surely seven dol
lars, saved it's manurial value for bis farm,
the labor of marketing, and instead OF
being on the road to poor-house by rob
bing bis land would be making 1t last

It has been noticed by 5 !cntists who
have been studying the interesting and
mysterious Navajo Indians that the
Navajo baby invariably has blue spot
Mt the base of It's spine. The spot Is
sometimes as small as n dime and
sometimes as big as ones hand. 1t
closely resembles bruise. but 1t Is
due entirely to an extraordinary pig
mentation. The spot may disappear
before the child is five years old. but
always returns later In life when this
ls the case. The scientists have come
to the conclusion that this spot Is proof
positive Of the Mongolian origin Of the
Navajo. And they also make the as
tonishing assertion that 1t Is present IN
many European and American children
whose parents can trace their gencal-
ogy for generations back and are cer-
tain that there has been no admixture

About Feed Grinding.

1t frequently happens that the adver'
tisiug matter seut out by the manufao'
turers OF agricultural and farm imple
ments and machines contains good sug'
gestions for the farmer. In some cases
statements are made with which We DC
not agree, but We all know that there IL
still necessarily . great difference Of
opinion about many matters agricultural.
Thus We find In some matter recently
sent out by the A. W. Sraub Co. oi
Philadelphia, manufacturers of grinding
mills, the following suggestions among
others:
at has been frequently found that
where ear corn is fed to fattening steers,
the droppings from one animal alone
contain enough food value to sustain swo
hogs. This Is an unnecessary drain on
the animal, q waste Of food, and dis
gusting manner of feeding hogs, which
some farmers have been known to do.
"Regardless of what animals you are
feeding, remember that food, to be d.
gested, must frat be reduced to liqui.
fed form. The uutritive value of food
must be assimilated into the system
through the red and white corpuscles Of
the blood before 1t becomes living sub.
stance in the animal, and this can be &C.
complished only after the food is con-
verted into liquid form.
"The grinding of food for animals 10
not only great economy OF food, but
gives the animal much greater value
from the food it consumes. Therefore,
if natures first act is to grind and masti-
cate food, why not assist the process by
grinding the food before 1t reaches the
auimalP This insures better digestion,
and certainly makes surety that oil the
food the animal consumes will properly
allow tho digestive organs to assimilate
life from it, thus overcoming the bad
features caused by animals bolting their
food.
ssEvery farmer should have good
feed grinder. The most valuable kind 10
one that will grind wet corn as we'll as
dry. Its saving in feed and Increased
value of stock pays back its cost many
times overn
