AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

portant part of the regular rations fed to the farm f1cck.
 As the price of grain increases by leaps and bounds the value of milk as a substitute is worth considering | In recent tests conducted by the New Jersey experiment station some in tereSting data have been obtained. In these tests sour skim milk was used rather than sweet, because it can be fed with greater uniformity the year around, as it is impossible to keep
 milk sweet during the hot months. Sour milk is apparently more palat- able and is claimed by some to be more digestible than the sweet milk.
 Although milk analyses less than 4 per cent. protein it's feeding value as shown by results in egg produc- tion is much greater than the amount of protein would indicate. This seems to show that there is some charac- ter1stic in milk Which is not available in grain and meat food which makes it desirable as a poultry food.
 In New Jersey experiment carried on last year 200 selected single-co white Leghorn bullets were divided into focks of equal size. Both focks were housed and cared for under the same conditions and received the reg ulation New Jersey state ration. In addition to this ration one pen had free access to a pan of sour milk and tHc pui0lS were 1IlOWSO lO eat as much as they desired. The results of this experiment were that the 100 birds which received no milk, but were given an average poultry ration, laid s3S3 eggs at a cost of $99.21 for their production. The pen which re- ueived the same ration, with the sour milk in addition, laid 12.044 eggs, and the food consumed cost s125.66. In spite of the much larger cost of feed the milk-fed pen paid a profit of $14643 more than the pen which had no milk. These figures were based on grair prices of year ago.
 1t can easily be seen that with the prices of grain frem 25 to 50 per cent higher than they were then the in creased profit in favor, of the milk fed pen would be all the more remark ao'e. Although no experiments have been carried on to show the value of substituting sour milk for some of the more expensive food products ther- are several experiments similar to the one mentioned above which would indicate that this could be done to good advantage, and farmers who have milk available or who car ob- tain it for three cents per quart for less can well afford to revise their ra- tions and include all the sour milk that the birds can eat

 Conductor McKeon stated that he was just a few feet inside the car when he heard it crash through the gate. Thinking there had been a collision with a wagon he stepped quickly onto the rear platform just as the car. dropped into the channel. He was picked up suffering from a scalp wound and immersion.
 One of the few persons inside the car to escape was Fred A. Robertson, of Reading, superintendent of a novel, ty manufacturing concern. He was in the center of the car and said he got nout5 through window which had been broken by the force of the water.

The po- sition of several of the bodies indi- cated that the passengers had strug gled desperately to crawl through the the outside, pushing the bodies back into the interior. Then I entered the door and began to take them out. There was another diver working from the other end of the car and we kept at the job until we went through the heap of bodies.

FISHERS ISLAND.

For a time it looked as if after the summer people left there would be little doing on the island. but it looks now as if there would be quite a little work. w. c. Young and force of men are busily engaged in tearing the shin gles from the roof of the Mansion House over the dining and ball rooms. This part will be raised to correspond in height with the new part built in recent years. The original Mansion will be left as it is. It is rumored al- so that there will be a new cottage erected down the island near the mid dle farm and not far from the resi- dence of H. l.. Ferguson. Another im- provement that Is being made is the extension of the sidewalk, which a few years ago was started at the resi- dence of A. s. Mattison of New York, to the Elliott House. It will now be laid to the post office and is partly completed. This sidewalk has been needed for years, as the walking from the Elliott House to the post office on a dark winter evening was no easy task, and many tumbles have been taken.

 The six other demands concerning the Chnegchiatun incident relate chief ly to the military officers and troops in Eastern Inner Mongolia and South ern Manchuria, and do not have the international import of the two de- mads first mentioned. The JapAnese insist upon the removal of Colonel Chang who commanded the Chinese de- tachmsnt ats Ghengchfatun when the clash occurred. They also demand the punishment of Lieutenant General Feng Teh-lin, who commanded the en- tire division of trops, of which the Cheng chia-tun detachment was part. ThesJapanese demand also the posting official notices through southern Man churta and Eastern Mongolia, warn ing Chinese troops against further clashes with Japanese troops. Pay ment of compensation to the families of the Japanese soldiers who were kill- ed Is also demanded, and an apology from General Chang Tso-lin, at Muk- den, the military governor of Fengtien province, Is insisted upon.

MILK PRICE AFFECTED.
Rising Cost of Feeds Causes Dairy
 men Worry What To Do About

One of the principal items of cost in the production of milk is that of feeds. Without a liberal supply of available food supplied through con- centrated feeds. the flow of milk will be far from it's maximum quantity. With the present prices for grain one Is likely to feed far more than he can actually recover from the sale of his milk, if other expenses are to be met, since grain costs on an average two cents or more a pound and Is usually fed at the rate of one pound of grain for every three or four pounds of milk. It will be found in many cases that it is likely to be more profitable to feed less grain and secure less milk with a greater difference between the cost of production and faAA value re-

 The Chinese insist that granting the Japanese demands for police power in
 Eastern Inner Mongolia and Southern
 Manchuria, would amount to the sur render of sovereignty in those places This view is also shared by all Eu- ropeans living in China However, China is in no position to refuse this demand. The financial needs of the Chinese republic are so pressing that it must depend upon Japan for money, and this situation renders the Chinese foreign office helpless.
 The unwritten demand for the em- ployment of Japanese military in- structors in all Chinese military col leges and schools, Is extremely dis tasteful to China and has provoked wide discussion in the Chinese press, which believes that the granting of this demand will eventually give Ja- pan domination of the military, party in China and practical control of na- tional politics.
 From the first of the negotiations concerning the Chengchiatun affair, Japan has assumed that it's original statement of the facts is correct and has proceeded on the theory that the Chinese troops and he Chinese com- mnader at tChengchiatun were wholly in the wrong. This assumption has been very offensive to the Chinese press, which constantly reminds the Japanese that their troops were in Chengchiatun wholly without degal right, as Eastern Inner Monolgfa is not even open to Japanese settlement. The entrance of Japanese into Southern Manchuia and Eastern Mongolia is denounced by the Chinese press as an invasion Of Chi

STUDYING THE FARM BUSINESS.

The County Agent in Litchfield county recently made business study of twenty-four farms in Goshen, Win chester and Cornwall. Among other facts of interest he found that nine of these men were keeping farm accounts and systematically studying their bus mess. On Investigating the profits on these farms he found that the nine keeping accounts were averaging to make $737 per year above all expenses and the interest on their investment, while the other fifteen as nearly as could be figured were each making $35S year. While it can not be said that these men doubled their profits by studying their business. nevertheless the facts are significant. MT.

GET YOUR CORN FODDER
 HOUSED.

With the high prices that it is nec- essary to pay for all concentrated feeds, every dollar that it is possible to save on our roUghages shall be saved. There are many fields of corn where the fodder has not Teen taken and housed. Because of the winds and rains there will be much greater loss of leaves than one fully realizes. These leaves, which are likely to be lost, are the most valuable part of the plant for food purposes, after the ear has been removed. If you lose from 5 to Is per cent in feed value, it will mean many dollars if you have a very large acreage left unhoused. It is much better to take the shocks, stack them and place a rough roof over them, to leave them in good shape so that the water will shed off as rapid ivy as possible.

Now is the time to get your spring work along as fast V possible. With the labor problem looking as serious for the spring as it is at the present time, every effort should be made to lessen the amount of labor which will be required next spring. By blowing this fall the seed bed can be more easily prepared for the crops next year. Those fields which have been down to grass for a considerable length of time may have insect in juries which will be lessened in num- Der by this practice.

Picking, Nov. 3.-China was stunned by the Japanese demands presented by Baron Hayashi as a condition upon which his Government was willing to settle the Chengchiatun incident, which resulted in the death of number of Japanese and Chinese soldiers.
 The Japanese minister presented these demands on September 3. Part of the demands were written, but part were verbal and given with a request that they be held secret. Conse- quently the full importance of the Japanese demands was not known for many days. In fact the full import of the demands is not generally realized, as the language of number of them is so definite that they are capable of very broad interpretation.

Milk-fed chickens have been recog- ni@ed for many years as the most de- sira ble form of market poultry, and many large feeding establishments have used milk continuously to finish off birds which are raised on free range and brought to be sold to fancy markets. It IS only within recent years that milk for egg production has teen recognized as an economical feed, although it has been advocated by experiment stations for several years for growing young chickens. It is interesting to note that the largest egg producing states in the country are those in which creameries are common and butter is made on many faI ms. This gives a very large amount Zof skim milk as a by-product turned back to the farmer, and it $ evident that this milk has not only been used to raise pork, but has also been an inn
