The Farm and
The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

They are still doing little barn
around Eldorado, but this
is the wind-up for the year, according
to A. v. Mcclure. who says they have
taken in 1000 bushels of wheat this
week and have been paying 1885 for
it, at least up to Thursday. Three cars
were loaded this week, the first In
some days.
Mr.. Mcclure says that he knows OF
no silos being filed, SO far, and that
stlos are very scarce near his town,
there being less than a half dozen In
three mile radius of Eldorado.
He also considers that oats are too
low and says that oats at present
prices are cheaper than baled hay
For instance" said he, Eat ga cents
per bushel, oats are worth $40 ton.
They are not bringing that money, but
fine hay comes pretty near doing it.
The bulk Of the tobacco around Edo
RADIO is now hanging in the barns.
Grows Big Sunflowers.
Amid display of vegetables at
local bank Is a mammoth sunflower
grown by Charles Anderson, Of Bethel
The seed diameter is given at Is inches
and the outside circumference Of the
seed at IS inches. Mr.. Anderson says
that sunf1ower seed makes fine feed
not only for poultry, but in proper pro
portions is valuable for stock.
Corn Ripening Fast.
The manager of the elevator at Econ
omy says: Il don't think there Is {
single car Of old corn around here tt
sell at any price but the crop is ripen
ing fast and a little of it wouldn't bt
hurt by light frost. Our farmer:
raise a lot of corn but they feed i
and a car seldom goes out. Three o.
four crews have just started silo film.
and in short time ell our corn will b.
ready for them. Not great deal o

LACK OF PASTURACE
FOR CATTLE RESULTS
IN MECHANICAL DAIRY
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Lack Of
pasturage for dairy cattle in the vicfn-
ity of Nitro, West Virginia, resulted In
the establishment at that war-bullt
city Of a mechanical diary" where
milk and cream equivalent to the out
put of a farm with 1900 milk COWS
was produced, according to govern
ment report just published. Bottles
and cans of the fluid were labeled
RECONSTRUCTED" milk or cream ana
"nitrolac."
Accommodations for $4,000 inhabt-
tants were provided at Nitro; schools,
churches, hospitals, department stores,
restaurants, and all the other cle-
ments of a modern well-equipped com
munity being part of the project. AS
q construction problem it was COM
paratively simple, but officials began
to strike snags as soon as they ap-
preached the task of insuring sup
ply of staple foodstuffs, particularly
of fresh milk.
Milk Supply seanty.
Nitro is situated in mountainous
district where little, if any natural
pasturage is available. Local milk
supplies were barely sufficient to sat
isfy the normal demands of Charles
ton, the nearest metropolis. Expan'
sion of the natural supply being out
of the question, the public health ser,
vice was asked for aid and the first
mechanical dairy" resulted.
The process used is described as the
Reconsideration of butter fat obtained
from unsalted butter in solution OF
SKINNED milk powder. or diluted evap
Grated milk" A building, $50 fee,
long by 81 feet wide, was constructed
and provided with huge mixing watts
refrigerators and bottling apparatus
Chemically pure water was used in
the mixing and careful tests made by
the product which proved to be
little superior, IL anything, the report
said, to natural milk.

promise of one car to come in during

ing seems to be over and silo filling

Corn Below 81 at Chicago.
Seemed rather strange, didn't 1t, to
note Chicago corn quoted at 81 per
bushel on Thursday? May corn closed
at 81 and December at 991a cents, with
September $1.27k, after selling at
SIPS during the session. The weather
still remains favorable over the corn
belt.
Dublin Fair Paid Out.
w. B. Woodward, of Dublin, says
that the people of Dublin and vicinity
were well satisfied with the results of
the free fair and Homecoming. The
attendance was large, everyone had a
good time, the show was all right, the
premiums have all been paid and there
is still little money in the treasury.
Mr. Woodward says there is no grain
coming in and that silo filling begun
this week A good rain would help
fall pasturage.
Most Corn Safe.
The latest government weekly corn
crop report stated that the bulk Of the
Nebraska corn is now safe and that
about so per cent of the Iowa crop Is
out of danger. 1t also figured that the
bulk of the Michigan and Wisconsin
corn would be out of danger by the
| last of this month.
