ing once a year is necessary. When
the various buildings about the farm
are kept clean, not only are better
homes provided for the stock, but
work is easier and more inviting. Be-
ing clean is not a fad. 1t is a dollar
and cents proposition.
1t is well known now that most, If
not all. diseases are caused by germs.
Cattle cannot have tuberculosis unless
exposed to tubercular bacteria. nor suf-
fer from abortion unless infected with
abortion germs, nOr foot and mouth
disease unless they come in contact
with the bacteria which cause this
disease. Hogs do not have hog cholera
unless they are exposed to the germ
that produces this disease. So 1t is
with the many other diseases which
claim our live stock. 1t is plain that
one of the factors in keeping live stock
healthy is to destroy the bacteria. and
disinfectants will do this.

Farm Machinery Investment.


A difficult problem on the American
farm is to decide how much and what
kind Of machinery should be pur.
chased. Some farms are so overstock.
ed with machinery that the deprecia.
ton. interest and repairs eat up much
Of the profits.
Assuming the average depreciation
on machinery at 10 per cent and the
interest on the money invested at 6
per cent. we have an average yearly
expense of approximately $13 on each
500 invested in machinery. A man
who has $500 worth Of machinery
would have $195 expense on this
alone in interest and depreciation. If
his work could be done with half this
amount he could ave $3.50. This
would be equivalent to the interest on
$1,625 at G per cent.
A farm of eighty acres cannot profit.
ably use fOur-horse machinery. be.
cause three horses should do the work
on a farm of this size. In buying ma.
chinery too large in proportion to the
size of the farm unnecessary expense
is added. This comes. not only in the
increased cost Of machinery. but also
in the maintenance of any extra horse
required.

FEEDING A DAIRY CALF.
Grain Mixtures That May Be Used to
Supplement Skimmilk.

Grain Mixtures That May Be Used to
Supplement SkimmiIk.
The change from whole milk to
skimmilk should be dona gradually.
Begin by reducing the whole milk a
pound at a feed and add a pound Of
skimmilk, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Continue this method until the calf Is
entirely upon skimmilk. Several feeds
may be used to supplement skimmilk.
A mixture Of whole oats and whole
corn is very good, permitting the calf
to have all it will eat Of this. A tea
spoonful Of ground flaxseed may be
stirred In with each feed of skfmmilk,
as it is very good feed for calves. The
amount may be gradually increased to
a tablespoonful.
When the calf becomes three or four
months old, then q mixture Of ground
corn and ground oats, equal parts, will
60 very well with the skimmilk. Barley
and oats or oats and bran will also go
very well.
Besides this grain, let the calf have
all the good hay 1t will consume, pref.
efably alfalfa or clover or ystch. II
win be found that 1t will eat silage or
other %succulent feed at a rather early
age II given an opportunity.

POOR COWS HING Err
PROFIT IN DAIaYINC

The other day an Iowa friend ad-
dressed us the question what binders
profit in d~airying?" and asked us to
write him our answer, says Hoard's
Dairyman. We did so, and here it is:
The main thing that hinders profit in
dairy farming is poor cows. BY that
we mean keeping a lot of COWS which
do not pay any profit on their keep. If
the average COW farmer could be in
duced to enter upon a vigorous cam
paign against himself and his lack of
good cow sense as well as the pool
cows that he insists upon keeping year
after year there would be a revolution
In this COW business. Put the question
any way you please and it comes out
the same:
We never yet saw a herd Of cows Of
high average quality that did not pay q
profit. Did you?
We never yet saw d herd of low pro.
ducing cows, no matter what their
breed, that paid a profit? Did you?
We e yet saw a dairy farmer
who resolutely set to work to Gull out
and grade up his herd but that made
money by it. Did you?
We never yet saw a dairy farmer
who let things run along in a loose. un-

NEW SILAGE POINTERS.

In a special research OF the subject
of silos and silage the Iowa station
has found these Illuminating facts on
subjects supposed to be about ex-
hausted:
The two chief things affecting the
quality Of silage are the maturity Of
the corn at the time of cutting and the
amount Of moisture in it
The greener the corn is the more
acid will develop in the silage. Most
Of the acid is formed in the first seven
days, and at the end of three weeks
fermentation is complete.
The gases which form in q silo are
chiefly carbon dioxide and nitrogen,
the latter forming in the largest guam
tity.
Both Of these gases will smother a
person, but they gradually disappear If
the silo is well ventilated.
The kind of material a silo is made
from has little effect on the quality of
the silage SO long as the silo Is well
made.
The temperature of silags in a wood
stave silo, q hollow clay tile silo. and a
solid concrete silo is about the same.
otuer things being equal.
A high degree of fermentation IL not
necessary for the production of good
silage. Too high an acidity IL harm
full. and good silage has been made
where the temperature did not exceed
n degrees =. b

CARE OF LIVE STOCK.

Barns, Pens and Yards Should Be Kept
Clean and Sanitary.
1t is a well known fact among sue
cessful live stock men that it is very
important to keep clean the barns.
pens and yards where the animals are
kept, says Hoard's Dairyman. What
is the meaning Of clean? Well, there
are many conceptions of cleanliness.
Many farmers think if they keep their
barns and yards free from manure
that they are clean. This is true to
a certain extent. for it is important to
keep the premises free from manure
and other refuse. Others will hold
that not only must the be re-
moved. but the walls and ceilings Of
the barn must be kept free from cob
webs, dust and the like in order to
have a clean barn and that whitewash-

Put these questions together, apply
them to the situation as it exists on
your farm and about you. Deduce from
them what you should do to raise the

yourself doing a lot Of things hat hell

Queen Esther" Is Soon
 To Be Produced

The most popular musical enter tainment ever produced in America is the sacred opera "Queen Esther. . written many years ago by William Bradbury, It has been given by choral societies, church ehoirs and other amateur singers in almost every city in this country and has also been translated into other languages and became famous in the European countries. It has been the means of raising more money for churches. libraries, hospitals and societies than any other musical composition, and despite the fact that it has been giv- en so many times, there is a charm about it's beautiful music that makes it ever popular and when once heard it will never be forgotten
 For many years it was given in the eastern states by the best musical societies and directors, but it is ad- mitted that Martin F. Robinson, who .s now preparing the opera in Ket ehikan, holds the record for giving the greatest number of performance. by amateuers. He has given this and many other operas in almost every city in the Northwestern States, and in each instance has sustained the reputation of producing the hest en- tertainment ever given by their local singers. He carries a complete outfit Of costumes to make the scenes rep resent the oriental splendors of the court of the great king Xerxes. and his careful attention to detail in training the soloists and chorus in their re- speetive parts makes the opera more elaborate than is usually seen in amateur productions.
 To those who witnessed the produc- tion of "Pinafore- given by MT. Robinson in July, were pleasantly surprised in the excellence of the per formanee and with an increased chorus and the addition of some more excellent voices. the production of "Queen Esther" is bound to far ex- cell the former opera.
 The Ketehikan Lyceum are back ing the production and the proceeds will be given to the local hospital. As this is a worthy institution and one which is great benefit to the entire community, the opera should receive the united support of every singer in town, as well as the general support of the public, at the two per formances to be given some time next week
