How much nicer it was TO run this
mower than the oornbinder in the fall
and did not need to buy Irvine. The
hayloader put it on the wagons, where
with corn you must use your backbone.
No expense each year with alfalfa as
blowing, seed planting, cultivating,
worms and crows bothering it as with
corn-and it is the saving of expense
in any business which adds TO larger
profits.
Since the middle Ct November we
have been feeding all of Que stock some
of this alfalfa silage, which is sweeter
and relished readily more than corn
silage. Experience of the past taught
US at Oornfdlfa farms, alfalfa for hay
and corn for silage. The wet season of
1915 taught US alfalfa for silage when
it rains. Had we known this years ago
how many more dollars could have
been PIT on our bank account! Silos
are the cheapest buildings we have on
Cornfalfa farms for the amount of tors
of feed they hold.

The grain that is given to them
should be scattered through straw on
the floor of the house. It's great
sight to watch flock of healthy hens
make the straw fly when they want
meal. Many poultrymen make the
floor of lime because they say that
the concrete wears the claws of the
hens.
Burned lime is placed over the
ground several inches deep and is
packed down hard. Sufficient water
is then put on the lime to Stake it
properly SO that it will form a pasty
mortar, which is then allowed to dry
and harden This sort of a floor is
very satisfactory and also furnishes
lime to aid in the making of egg
shells floor like this becomes worn
in spots and has to be renewed at
times, but it is very easy to place
lirle in the depressions that are worn
by the hens, and put little water
on it
The chicken house should always
face toward the south, and the north
and west sides should be carefully
closed. Chickens have very little
body heat, SO the house must be care
fully protected against the cold. Ven
tilation cannot be handled in the same
way it is in stock barns. Thin cotton
is stretched over the windows facing
the south, and this provides good ven.
tilation without causing any drafts,
which are very dangerous to poultry.
Very little headroom is needed by
chickens. so the back of this house is
only made 5 feet 10 inches high,
while the front is feet 10 inches. A

A WAKING INDUSTRY.

That Wisconsin produces nearly half
the canned peas in the country is
enough in itself to inspire any resi-
dent of the state with interest i'll al
industry of such magnitude. Though
this Ms due primarily to favoring soil
and climate, it is also due, in large
measure, to improved methods and to
the care with which the product is
handled. Buyer will testify that a
can of spoiled peas is phenomenon o.
great rarity and that the average OF
excellence is high.
But it would greatly advantage the
consumer if peas could be graded and
labeled according to the schedule pro-
posed at the pea Gamers convention.
Most people would pay Q or cents
more per can could they feel any real
certainty that they were getting the
cream of the pack. Graded as to quail
ty, the housewife would be able to or
der either the choicest peas, small and
sifted, or argerstandard kind equal
ly good for purees and meat stews, at
less expense.
In two directions is there chance
for expansion. More intelligence would
produce better crops, therefols study
should be made of soils, fertilizers,
prevention of diseases and insect pests,
and propagation by pedigreed seeo.
Here the horticultural knowledge of
university experts come in. Equally
important is publicity, under which
head come methods of stimulating de-
mand, of making the merits of the pro-
duet known, of expanding trade
opening new markets. This is the ad
vertisers' field. The limit of produc
tion has not been reached, yet close
watch must needs be kept to avoid an
over supply.
The beIc6sial effects of better un-
Outstanding between canEes and con-
sumner cannot fail to react on sales in
a manner truly gratifying to holders
of cannery stock.

It makes a smooth, tight wall that can
be readily painted with whitewash or
crude oil ard there are no hooks and
corners to harbor the vermin that al
ways get into the chicken house more
or less. The walls can also be COW
cred with matched ceiling which will
give a smooth surface that can be
easily painted.
The roof can be made of sheathing,
which is covered with prepared roof
ing. The inside wall is made of wall
board or of matched ceiling the same
as the walls.
The roosts are placed in the back
part of the house under the roof and
are fastened to the droppings board
that is placed underneath them. The
nests are fastened underneath the
droppings board and all the furniture
can thus be moved out together when
the chicken house is to be cleaned
The darkness that the hens require
for laying is furnished by placing the
nests under the Groupings board The
scratching floor is at the front of the
house, SO that it will get plenty of
sunshine
One end of this poultry house is
given over to feed room, where the
future meals of the chickens can be
kept. This is handy arrangement

the use of chewing gum He cites
the example of condensed milk The
Chinese were once strangers to con-
densed milk. Now they like it. There
fore, the conclusion is apparent.
Chewing gum promotion must be done
with wisdom and care, however. The
advertising must be in Chinese char
acters. Furthermore, the illustrations
must please, not the Occidental, but
the Oriental. Under another date Mr..
Arnold has this to say: 1T has come
to my attention in travelling about
China that the demand for American
playing cards is on the increase In
Shanghai, for instance, the Chinese
are showing preference for western
playing cards over their own so-called
sparrow cards. The popularity of
the foreign cards could be greatly in
creased by the addition of Chinese
numerals and the Chinese characters
for king, queen, jack. The Chinese
are fond of SNOWY cards, hence those
with pictured backs would be the
most popular, especially if the backs
were designed IN Chinese fashion"
With American chewing gc@ and
American playing cards well estab-
lished in China the process of promot-
ing culture will become much easier.

FINE FOR STOCK FOOD.
Testimonial Goes to Show Results
Accomplished by Badger Soil
and Climate.

(By A. d. Campbell, Manager Wisconsin Ad-
vancement Association, in Milwaukee Sentinel)
For many years l have urged the
value of Alfalfa as Wisconsin crop.
1t is probable thai the space given this
matter in the newspapers of the state
has had good effect upon the extern
sion of alfalfa culture, but the progress
of the past has been too slow. What
we need is a rapid increase.
The last complaint of those who have
failed thus far to raise alfalfa, that it
sometimes is hard to cure under our
Wisconsin climate conditions, is met
by the statement of Peter G. Swartz,
which | make the main part of this
article-the silo is the solution. But
let Mr.. Swartz state the matter in his
own way. He says:
''As the years go by at Cornfalfa
Farms, we find alfalfa doing more
marvellous things for us each year;
things that we did not even dream of
years ago. How we'll we remember
the day when everybody thought al
falfa would not grow in Wisconsin,
and even at Oornfalfa Farms it seemed
like a stranger from the west and
would never become friendly and
adopt Wisconsin soil for producing
things. The things it does at Cornfalfa
Farms il will do elsewhere in Wisoon-
sin if people adopt the slogan we did
years ago, namely get engaged to
alfalfa sowing and you will be the
proud owners of two or three crops of
alfalfa a year.
Alfalfa the Crop.
1T is marvellous to think when one
crop is harvested another is right

sims soil" and show the naau things
it can do. Is not bale of alfalfa in
the field nearer the barn on any farm
than a bag of bran at the nearest
dealer, and with nearly the same pro-
TEN In each, make it easy to see how
much alfalfa is worth when it produces
from four to six tons a year on an
acre, as it has on an average at Corn
falfa Farms the last few years?"
Again, alfalfa taught us "a marvel
GUS thing in 1915 when we filled one of
our three silos with it. Ii was soon
after the first of June, really right
after we finished planting corn, we set
up our silo filler and cut in green al

etc, and besides all the rains, sprink-
les and dews that came, went along in
the silo with it.

One of the best ways to build a
poultry house is with a shed roof.
In addition to being fine for the poul-
try it is also easy to build. The de-
sign shown here has depth of ten
feet, which will allow the sunlight to
penetrate to the back part of the
building. There is nothing that en-
courages the hens to lay, more than
lots of sunshine. In the early spring
when eggs are out of sight in price
plenty of sunshine will keep the hens
on the job, which means that the man
who owns them is paying for we'll

make for him.
1t is absolutely necessary to have

chicken houses form ideal dwellings

concrete, so that the rats cannot bur-
row up from underneath. The floor
should be well covered with straw and
the feed can then be scattered
through this.
Strong, vigorous hens can only be
maintained if they are given plenty
of exercise. This is furnished by
making them scratch for their meals

How is 1t that the Danes as race are fat? Professor Lyde states that from one end of Denmark to the other you will not find really thin man." And he gives rather quaint reason for it. "rhe growth of dairy farming in Denmark tends to make men lazy The private houses adjoin the byres. which are kept at uni

Built In 1711, It Was the First Great
 American Highway.
 Something over 200 years ago there was built the first great American highway, "the old York road" be- tween New York and Philadelphia.
 The construction of this famous road i'll I'll was an example that led the energetic colonists at other points along the Atlantic seaboard to make similar roads where there were no wa ter routes. For the most part these roads were built by chartered compa- nies and were called turnpikes or toll roads. Pennsylvania. Connecticut and New Jersey had many roads of this kind.
 The first macadamized road in this country was constructed in 1792 be- tween Philadelphia and Lancaster. In 1911 there were said to be 4,50O miles of chartered turnpikes in New Eng land and New York. During the next twenty years the government expend- ed many millions of dollars in con- structing great highways. but the pan ic of 1887 and the building of rail- ways and canals put an end to that branch of the government work Washington Star.
