TO SEE OURSELVES
AS OTHERS SEE US


In a<dairy barn in remote Wis
.consin community the other day, the
editor (Fort Scott Exams Tribune
Monitor) heard a crowd of farmers
talking about the short course as
familiarly as a Kansas farmer talks
of the weather. Probably not one
man in ten in Kansas would have
known what they referred to.
up in Wisconsin boys and girls
from every community attend the
short course at the university each
year to learn modern methods
of farming and dairying.
1T is common sight in Wiscon-
sin dairy barns to see a young man
in his twenties-the son of dairy
man who has acquired competency,
sold his farm to the boy and moved
to the village measuring out grain
feed to the cows according to their
milking capacity, measuring out
Skim-milk to the calves according to
their age, weighing each cows milk
morning and evening, judging his by
the score card and keeping a herd
of say thirty head with not more
than ten acres of pasture on the
place by feeding alfalfa and ensilage
throughout the summer as we'll as
winter.
This young man gets up about
$3.50 to 6 o'clock and doesn't work
any harder than the average Kansas
farmer. From thirteen cows we saw
one boy selling about Sc worth of
milk a day to a creamery and get
ting his skim-milk back, pasteurized.
He had sold $1,000 worth of cows
and calves from his pure-bred and
grade herd from Nov. l, 1914, to
Nov. /, 1915. He had an automobile,
furnace-heated house, both hot and
cold water, water in every cows
stall and an attractive bride of four
weeks, who knew as much about
cows and short courses as he and
was as much interested in them. He
had 100-acre farm and was selling
corn and alfalfa because he had too
much feed. Only a few acres Of
waste land on the place were in
red clover and blue grass pasture.
He hired one hand.
"This is a fair specimen Of a
dairybred man, which is possibly, as
essential in successful dairying as
dairybred cows

family her prospective husband be-
ing a consumptive. Two months at
ter marriage her husband died. The
wife showed unmistakable evidences
of the disease not long after and
went back home to be cared for by
her mother.
The patient was stubborn ano
would take no precautions whatever
She would not use paper napkins nor
old cloths which could be burned,
but insisted upon using handker'
chiefs that needed to be Numbered
She even went so far as to insist
on sleeping with her mother. mas,
much as there were then on hospl-
tails or sanatoria to which she could
be taken, her family had to put up
with her whims until her death
which occurred about a year after
that of her husband.
The mother had been a very strong
and healthy woman, but about SIX
months after her daughters death
she began to show symptoms of tu-
berculosis and died about eighteen
months later.
Shortly after the mothers death
the only son married, and the three
sisters who were still at home left,
believing they might escape the dis
ease if they moved into different
quarters. In short time, however,
the youngest sister came down with
the disease. The oldest, a dress

most of the time. Part of the time,
however, the patient was cared for
in the home of a married sister
where she could see more of the
baby She was at the married Sis
ter's home about two months, when
she became so weak and needed so
much attention that she was taken
home. In short time she died. In
the meantime the brother became ill
and died of tuberculosis.
The oldest sister, who had served
so long as faithful but uninstruct-
ed nurse, contracted throat trouble,
and after several operations and
hemoWsages was advised to leave
this climate. She went to Texas and
lived there in poor health until a
few months ago when she, also,
died of tuberculosis

ate family who escaped the disease
were the two who were not at home

nitrogen were noted. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that lack of
sufficient nitrogen at the time of
setting fruit will reduce the yield
materially. One plot in the fore
going experiments which suffered
from nitrogen starvation at the
time the fruit set showed so per
cent. less fruit at the end of the
season than a plot that had had
plenty of nitrogen during the
spring season.
Trees show nitrogen starvation
by following leaves. In the alb
sence of disease, following of fol-
iage can be taken as a sure indi-
cation of nitrogen starvation.
Potash and phosphate starvation
are more likely to be shown by a
reduction of yield than by any ap-
pearance of the tree.
