SUCCESS ON A SMALL FARM.
What One Woman Did.
KATE ST. MAUR.

KATE ST, MAUR.
 Can a family make a comfortable living on a small farm?
 Yes. most emphatically yes, if they possess ordinary common sense and industry. My own personal experience is an undeniable demonstration of that fact I started on a rented place with really no capital. as a business diSas- ter had swallowed up all our savings. so that I know what it is to commence st the very bottom of the ladder.
 The place we found was an old fash
 toned homestead. There were two
 large barns, corncrib. toolhouse and several odd sheds. It was really a farm of 1s0 acres, but the owner let us have the house and twelve acres, including the orchard for s15 a month, on three years lease, with the privi- 1ege of taking over the additional 16S acres at any time during our tenancy for an additional $S a month, with the option of purchase.
 Stock Bought From Savings. Stock had to be bought in small lots, as l saved money from our living ex- penses at first So l bought a few old !. hens-broody ladies that wanted to set first summer. The old hens had cost $10: extra eggs for setting, $5; feed $4. And on the credit side there were ninety chickens sold as broiIers, which brought $22s hfty-eight young bullets kept for stock and all the eggs we 1 wanted for our own table. From a trio of ducks bought early in the 1 spring I sold sixteen young ones when | nine weeks old for $7.92. In Novem- l Der of the same year thirty more were sold and twelve retained for stock. l cant give the exact cost of feeding l because no separate account was kept, 1 but certainly $20 would cover it, The old birds cost S4.50. so the profit on i the investment amounted to nearly | $39
 The apple orchard was in a very
 badly neglected condition, but still we
 realized $180 from sales in the fall, 1 and our vegetable garden supplied our own needs and furnished bounti- ! fu1 supply for pickling, preserving and canning for winter. Having a balance 1 on the right side of the ledger, we built new chicken house and bought , 8 cow The place was entirely selt 1 supporting by the eighteenth month 1 and from that time on stock grew SC | rapidly that it seemed advisable to 1 take on the rest of the land and raise
 all our own feed for the stock. i The great secret in starting on 8
 small place, is, I think to commence with poultry, garden and berry fruits 1 and gradually increase stock and cror
 raising operations. as success and
 market, to say nothing of your own per1ence, makes growth feasible

APPLES AND PEACHES; WHERE AND HOW TO GROW THEM.
Necessary Locations and Soils.
A A. GULLEY,
ssge of Agri-, Storrs, Conn.

College of Agris StorTs, Conn
 Northeastern states offer innumera- hle satisfactory locations for the growing of apples and peaches, and the former in most of it's varieties will make a congenial home in almost any spot in which one might choose to live. except in the very mountainous districts
 In picking out land for fruit grow ing bear in mind that apples, pears and peaches are bulky; therefore near ness to transportation facilities is most important On the other hand, where capital Is limited, land farther from market costs less and, as far as the fruit is concerned, may be just as de sirable- Wherever chosen the land should have a fair elevation, not on top Of high hill exposed to strong winds, nor yet in the bottom of a narrow valley, but gently sIoping hill sides are ideal. and the direction is of slight importance The choice will often lie between rough or rocky fields costing but little or those much easier to cultivate and so more expensive at the start The latter are, as a rule, cheaper to handle as time goes on, but success may be had from either. 'Whichever spot is chosen it should be naturally or easily drained, for water must never stand near the surface in an cechard

TRADE SECRETS WILL
 NOT BE MADE PUBLIC
Purpose of An Amendment to Trades
 Commission Bill.

Washington, Jan 2S.-Perfection of the interstate trade commission bill, introduced in the senate and house last week as the first of the anti trust legislative measures of the ad- ministration, was begun today by the senate committee on interstate com merce. It was determined at the out set that no public hearings other than those to be held by the house com mittee would be necessary.
 An amendment proposed today would limit to a certain extent the publicity feature of the measure by prescribing particularly that no trade processes, list of customers or like trade secrets submitted to the commission by cor porations. should be made public. As the bill stands now. all information concerning the business of corpora tions is required to be made mat ter of p%olic record. Another amend ment will be proposed later to en- large the powers and scope of the commission. Hearings before the house judiciary committee will begin tomorrow on the various bills proposed to supplement the Sherman act.

DEVELOPING THE DAIRY CALF
Raising the Future MiIker.
F. K. PARKINSON.

The development of a dairy calf should begin in the sire and dam back several generations. To illustrate, if there is land enough to keep a COW ana money being distinctly an object It is decided to buy a heifer calf and raise it. With this end in view the miIknan or butcher is interviewed and, being an obliging chap, he finds pretty little bossy, drops $10 into his pocket and the prospective milI1er is installed For two years the beast is Ted, petted and watched over and at last the eventful day arrives, when, with new milk pail in hand, the fam fly gather in the barn to watch the nl1ik1ng-the result about eight quarts daily. At first that sounds very well. put Wait moment. The Massachu- sets Agricultural college has found the keep of a COW (feed, insurance taxes depreciation, etc.) costs $14604 Der year. so let us do some figuring: FAght quarts for 800 days (the COW be- Ing dry two months yearIy) gives 2.4ao quarts. which if sold at cents per quart would return s1A4, loss of $2,o4-1aot quite what We had reckon ed on is it?
 How To Feed.
 Therefore a future dairy COW should come from a line of good milkers-at least on the sire's side-and will cost as a calf about $25, but the money Is
 
 purchased the importance of spending thought as well as feed in it's develop ment should not be forgotten, espe- cially during the first six months. Feed new milk the first two or three weeks. four to six quarts daily divid- ed into three feeds then gradually substitute skinnlilk and continue so to feed until six months old. Skim milk and well cured hay, alfalfa or clover fed three times daily should make the bulky part of the ration. S1lage may take the place of one feed Of hay when three months old and may be fed twice daily after six months. In addition to bulky feed. the calf requires grain to furnish nu- tr1ment and stimulate growth. Feed little at first, about a half a pound a day ln a clean. wooden box, and grad uaIIy increase until two pounds are given A good mixture consists of cornmeal, ground oats and whaet bran in equal parts and a half part of nn- seed meal. Feed the spring calf in the barn the first summer and when a year old turn her into a good pas ture. when no other food will be re- qulred- Fall calves should not be obliged to depend entirely on pasture until eighteen months old. Keep the helfer growing, feed her well, but do not fatten her.

POULTRY FARMING A DIVERSE.
 FEED INDUSTRY.
H. R. LEWIS.


 N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station. No branch of our present agricultur- al development offers greater latitude in diversity of effort than poultry hus- bandry. It is made up of so many diff ferent branches and has so many diff ferent sources of income that the be- ginner may select the line which will best it his particualr conditions, Be- fore selecting or developing any market conditions and features of lo- cation and transportation must be made There Is 8 constant demand for strictly fresh table eggs and for high class market poultry. The prob lem, then, is to choose 8 line of pro- duction and by improved methods pro- duce high quality, and no anxiety need be felt over the distribution.
 The most profitable and easily man aged branch of poultry production is sa1ar5et eggs the aim being to so hatch Fear and manage birds that a. maxi anum of eggs are produced during winter, when prices are high The re- GuisfteS are strong, vigorous outlets, matched during April and reared on free range and given in winter plenty of good food and a congenial environ ment. The latter neceSSitateS plenty of room, an abundance of sunlight and fresh air, together with entire free dom from moisture. Eggs command ing highest prices are infertile-th2t is male should be kept from the pens except during breeding season
 capons and Day Old Chicks
 Next in order of possibilities comes the production of market poultry, such as broilegs, roasterS, capons and fowls. Broiiers may be produced as a. side line or as specialized business, prefera- hIy the former. The surplus males which occur in the matching and rear ing of bullets may be marketed young as hroi1ers or kept until fall and sold as roasting chickens With the lighter breeds the former method usually brings the best returns, while in the case of the American and Asiatic breeds it will often be much more profitable to hold them for roasting. The advantages of capon production are larger and heavier birds at killing time, a sEeeter and finer favored meat and 3. much higher selling value. to- gefhEr with a lower cost of pFoduc- tor-

Only elevated positions are safe even in favorable localities. Good air drainage must be had, hence the tops of hills or the most elevated parts of gently sloping hillsides should be chosen. Then, too, the peach buds must be protected from sudden changes in temperature. Choice of soils is also restricted as success can only be assured where there is a natural drainage and a warm, sandy soil so eongenial to the peach.
