(By Edward N. Hurley.)

Thousands of farmers through the
west remember the times In the
eighties and nineties when corn was
worth more to burn than to sell
Our manufacturing output then
was roundly $50 per capita for the
whole population of the United
States;. that is. in 1890, the corn
burning period.
The value of farm in 1890 to
each farmer tilling the soil wrs
$4,000. The value OF products that
each factory worker made in 1880
was $4,000. The average wages of
the factory workers were $490 per
year.
Then came the great industrial
which has paused only once or
twice.
In 1914 nobody would have
thought of burning corn or any
other farm product, for farmers were
prosperous along with the factory
workers.
By that time we were making
s246 worth of goods per capita. or
S30S0 per factory worker. The fact
ory workers wages had risen TO
$3.50 year. and the result was
clearly shown in the value of a farm
which was then $4,000 for every
person engaged in tilling the soil.
l think this shows pretty clearly
that the farmers market and his
prosperity are linked closely with
quoted these figures because | be-
lieve 90 years from now the statist.-
cans will be able to compare the
factory output and wages and farm
values of 1898 with those of today
and show perhaps even more re-
mafkable increase.

VALUE AND CARRYING CAPACI-
TY OF PASTURES.

! Public surprise Is often manifested
at the size and value OF the hay crop.
and now It probably Is the turn OF
, the farmer himself to be surprised at
the information that the annual value
OF the pasturage OF this country is
over 81 100000 AT any rate.
this In indicated by arecent investiga-
tion by the Burean OF Crop Estimates
OF the U. S, Department OF Agricul-
ture. The farm value of the hay crop
itself did not reach this figure until
1916.
Pasturage value has never been as
certained by the Census and never In
cluded In totals of farm-produced
wealth. but pasture area was re-
ported on the agriculture schedule OF
the Census of 1910. and WAS tabulat
ed by the Office of Farm Manage
ment OF the Department OF Agrieul-
ture In 1918. To this information
has recently been added an estimate
Of the cattle-carrying capacity OF this
area made by the Bureau OF Crop
Estimates.
Per 100 acres OF all kinds of pas
lures. the carrying capacity Is 29.i
cattle In the average for the United
States. The leading State is Indiana
with So cattle. the second Is Iowa
with 81 cattle. Tennessee IL third
with so cattle. Illinois fourth with
4S cattle. Wisconsin fifth with ~
cattle. Louisiana sixth with 45 cattle.
anu then follow four States In each
OF which 100 acres OF all kinds of
pastures. on the average, can carry
40 cattle--Minnesota Missouri, Neb-
raska, and Idaho.
At the other extreme. only cattle
can be carried on the average 100
acres OF pastures in Arizona, o cattle
In Nevada, 10 cattle In New Mexico.
IL cattle in Wyoming, ~ cattle In
New Hampshire. 13 cattle In Mon
tana and Colorado. and IA cattle in
Oregon.
In the United States improved pas
pasture can carry about twice as
many cattle as woodland and other
pastures, the average for the improy-
ed being 45,6 cattle. for woodland pas
ture 25.4 cattle, and for other pas
ture 23.i cattle. The higest figure
for improved pasture In any State Is
20 cattle per 1000 acres In New
Mexico. after which follow Indiana
with 65 cattle, Tennessee with 62
cattle. and Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa,
Louisiana, and Idaho. each with 90
cattle.
The wild pasture OF Arizona can.
carry but 6 cattle per 100 acres, or
animal to 2 aces. and that OF Wyo-
ming, Nevada, Montana, New Mexico,
Colorado. and Oregon can carry but
7 TO 10 cattle on 100 acres.
That the aggregate yearly value OF
the pasinrage OF the United States
should be $1,000 900 900 and more
need not be entirely unexpected when

more than half year. Improved

HOROSCOPE.
Sunday, February 10, 1913.

According to astrology this is an
Uncertain day. While Jupiter
Mars and the Sun are in benefic as
pect, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus
are adverse.
It is read as q day OF promise to
commercial ventures, bankers and
all who have large responsibilities,
but the planets that make for dis
appointment, treachery and failure
are in sinister place.
The stars seem to indicate that
large fortunes will be made and
lost within this month.
Under this configuration there Is
an apparent close connection be-
tween Jupiter and Mars. which in
dicates that power and money be-
hind the fighting forces of the ma
ton will increase in volume.
This Is an auspiclous sway for
promotions in the army and these
will be accompanied by changes In
auxiliary organizations.
A sensational occurrence will To-
Gus attention on a high official next

1t Is prognosticated that when

will suffer reverses or disappoint-
ments and vice versa.

This is read as presaging a pros

Care and Feeding Of Breeding Geese
Geese do not require warm quart
ers. The floor of their pens should
be well supplied with plenty of clean,
dry straw
Their food in winter should con-
sist of whole grain as oats and bar
ley or oats and corn, equal parts by
weight) fed from troughs, all they
care to eat. Boiled potatoes or sliced
roots should also be literally fed.
They should be let out on range early
in spring, and as soon as the grass
and clover become abundant this will
be sufficient food until fall.
CARE AND FEEDING OF GOSLINGS
Goslings should not be disturbed
until twenty-four hours of age. At
the end of one week, if the weather
is warm, they require no artificial
heat. Until they are strong enough
they should be confined to small,
movable runs and coops, and these
should be moved each day to supply
fresh grass. Keep their sleeping
places clean. For the first few days
they should be fed on dry bread,
soaked in skim milk and fed crumbly.
After ten days change to ground
grain such as, three-fourths shorts
and one-fourth either corn or barley
meal. This should be moistened with
milk and fed similar to the bread and
milk. Feed little and often. AS soon
as they are three weeks Of age gradu-
ally wean them to grass and clover
pasture. Always keep fresh water
before them. If they are to be fat
tened: conf1ne them to small runs for
a week or ten days and feed them on
a ration Of about two parts corn and
one OF shorts mixed with sour milk,
and feed all they care to eat.
