IMMIGRATION.

ANTHONY CAMINETTI, COMMISSIONER OF
IMMIGRATION.
Some of them afterWard returned and
presented themselves for admission.
Judges of the naturalization courts
have held that such absence from this
country in the armies and fighting
under their native allegiance broke
the continuity of residence for natural
iZation purposes and denied their APP
pllcatiOns.
Among the approximately 14OOO,O0O
foreign alien residents, 1,65O,361 are
classed as illiterate. These are the
natural prey of the designing and
scheming foreigners and natives as
we'll at every turn. They compel them
to pay tribute, both in cash and blood,
for every service, both real and mag
ined, and in the qualification Of their
desires, however INSCRIPTIONS or I'M
natural. For years this condition has
been studied by the bureau Of natural
ization in it's application to the adj
ministratiOn of law. 1t is safe to say
that, although $1,000 foreigners have
been refused citizenship because of
mental and moral unftness, at least
that many have been admitted in spite
of these deficiencies during the period
Of federal supervision. The courts
have been reluctant to refuse citizen
ship to a candidate even though he
be ignorant of our institutions or of
the privileges conferred upon him.
Especially is this so where there are
no facilities offered by the cities
and towns where the petitioners live
for overcoming these defects. In many
places the public schools have, under
the inspiration Of the bureau, opened
their doors to the foreigner and taught
him the duties of citizenship, and in
these places the courts have refused
citizenship unless the candidates could
come up to the higher standard brought
about by federal supervision These
have been tried with success.
During the last year over $4,000 for
eigners declared their intention and pc
titioned for naturalization. Ih1s Is the
high water mark since federal supervl-
sion. The federal census shows that
the foreign population is many times
greater than the number who come for
ward for citizenship. In many states
the proportion Of candidates for citi-
zenship is at the lowest ebb. In no
state does it exceed 80 per cent, while
In some states it is as low as 2 per cent.
This is true of the number of foreign
ers who take out their first papers and
those who become citizens.

asked for final papers, and of these
about 100000 have been admitted to
citizenship. During the same period
upward of $1,000 foreigners have been
refused permission to citizenship, over
one-half Of these because of mental
and moral unftness.
While the foregoing figures indicate
large number coming forward for
citizenship, says the bureau, the num-
Der does not APPEAR relatively very
large when it is known that in 1910
there were nearly 100000 foreigners
in this country, that of this number
100000 were not citizens and that
the foreign body has been increased
nearly 100000 annually since then.
By far the larger portion of the for

legiance to the sovereignty of their
birth, and, as it appears, many of these
are ready to respond to the call of
these sovereignties, Many have gone
back who had declared their intention.

HOME AS WELL AS A PLACE
OF BUSINESS.

The problems Of agriculture
are so intimately and inextrlc-
ably bound up with those Of
country life in general that it Is
well-nigh impossible to sepa-
rate them. In it's last analysis,
all Of the questions that con-
Germ us relative to crop produc-
ton and utilization are only in
cidental to the more fundamen-
tai inquiries regarding country
living, for the farm is not only
a place of business but home,
and as such, its problems must
be looked at from both points
of view. Thus far, experiment
stations have concerned them
selves mainly with the material
problems of life, but if the coun-
try is ever going to be able to
hold it's own in competition
with the city, it must do so
through a fundamental study of
the social forces that are at
work under rural conditions

HOGS DIE FROM WORMS.

A peculiar malady is affecting my
neighbours hogs. Already he has lost
two old sows and 20 March pigs. On
postmortem the only indication OF
trouble is that worms, from three to
six inches long and white in color, are
found in the small intestines. All the
hogs are very thin in flesh, cough and
rub, and are in poor condition gen
orally, though they get plenty of good
feed and are on pasture.-N. R. R.,

The description leads me to be-
lieve that the deaths were due to in
testinal worms, very commonly found
in young pigs at this time of the year,
especially if they have been kept on
premises where pigs have been raised
for a number of years. l have had re-
ports of a similar nature from many
farmers, and in nearly every case |
have found that these worms were re-
sponsible for the deaths, diarrhea, fall
ure to gain, and general poor condl-
ton, even when given good feed.
My suggestion is that you place ~
of your pigs on the barn floor or in an
enclosed pen so that you can watch
them closely. Keep all feed away
from them for "a hours. Water, how
ever, may be kept before them at all
times. Then mix with two or three

FLIES ARE SOURCE
OF MUCH TROUBLE
insects Introduce Some of Most
Undesirable Forms of Bac-
terra in the Milk.

By J. N. PRICE, Washington Expert
nlent Station.)
Flies are source of great deal OF
trouble in the dairy business. They in
troduce some of the most undesirable
forms of bacteria, including disease
germs, in the milk. Their habit OF
feeding on decaying material and the
feces of all animals makes them a
very dangerous source of contamina-
ton. They will fly directly from the
manure gutter to the milk pail, thus
introducing into the milk the germs
Of any contagious disease with which
Any Of the cows may be affected. They
also carry the germs Of the sick room
or the privy vault to the dairy build
Ing, IN many cases serving to spread
disease broadcast by introducing the
germs into the milk supply Of many
families
The barn, nilkroom and all other
places where milk is handled should
be kept as free from dies as possible.
II the manure Is hauled out frequent
ly and the premises are kept free frOm
refuse, the number OF flies will be
greatly reduced. The manure should
be removed before warm weather
comes and The dies begin to hatch.

REGULAR HOURS FOR FEEDING
After First Week Give Calves Little
Dry Grain-Feed Skim Milk
Four to Six Months.

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Feed at regular hours and after the
first week give little dry grain, after
they have drank the milk.
Give them all the clean, cool water
they will drink.
Sprinkle a little salt on board
where they can lick it.
Give a little bright, clean hay. As
they become accustomed to it increase
to what they will eat up clean,
Increase the grain gradually until
it reaches pound day. Shelled
corn, whole oats, bran, shorts, wheat
are all good; but preferable in the
order named.
Always feed the grain dry in the
box after taking away the milk pail.
Leave them In the stanchions 30 to
40 minutes after feeding.
Handle them frequently. Avoid
frightening them.
II they go on good pasture at six or
seven months Of age gradually shut
off the grain.
Feed the skim milk four to six
months.
For forage, alfalfa, red clover. pea
AID oat hay mixed with meadow hay,
fodder corn, ensilage are all good. The
FIRST four are the best.

Large mouths and wide bodies indi
cate good feeding qualities and great
digestive capacities.
No man can produce clean milk
from COWS that are permitted to live
In unclean stables.
A COW underfed is not doing her
best work, and cow overfed is losing
something in her production.
A good feeder will soon learn the in
dividuality of each cow, and feed her
so that she will return a profit if she
is capable of doing so.
A wise dairy farmer prepares for
summer droughts by having some en-
silage left over for summer feeding.
Give the COW all the cheap, bulky
food she will eat, but feed the grain
according to her milk flow, if she is in
good condition.
Many dairy farmer hangs on to
poor bull because he is cheap and be-
cause he is not worth much to the
butcher
An up-to-dste dairy COW must be
handled with understanding. Her
needs must be studied and met. This
cannot be done by an unthinking man.
While it is doubtless true that a COW
kept at perfect ease will, other things
being equal, give the greatest quantity

SUITABLE SHELTER
is OF IMPORTANCE
Worn Out Piece of Machinery Sell
dom Seen, But More Often
Found "Weathered Out"

II you have much stock, poultry
farming tools, grain and hay, and at
tempt to house 1t all you will have
quite a task, but it will pay in the
end.
Some have tried to make estimates
of tools and machinery ruined each
year by weathering, and the figures
are simply enormous. Facts are, we
seldom see piece of farm machinery
worn out, but often see it "weathered
out" That is the reason the junk
man does "a land Office business"
Stock, too, which are not properly
sheltered soon get long-haired and
show signs Of needing weatherboard-
ing. When you shelter stock poorly,
you must pay for it either in the ex-
ira feed or in the condition of the
stock.
What about the hay crop? On
many farms there is enough hay
spoiled from stacking each year to
pay the interest and some Of the prin-
cipal, or more than enough money to
build good barn. 1t is quite task
indeed to attempt to shelter every
thing, but improvised sheds and other
small buildings will help a lot and are
inexpensive and later permanent struc-
lures may be provided.
