Varieties of Wild Plants Have Various
Means of Assuring Propagation
of Their Species.

It is we'll known that the same crop
cannot grow and flourish year after
wear upon the same ground. The
wild plant knows this and takes care
that its seed shall fall upon fresh
ground. Some, like the thistle and
the dandelion. have developed seeds
provided with balloons Of down, by
means of which they are carried for
miles. The sycamore and the lime
grow little parachutes, which send
their seeds twisting through the air
for long distances. The burrs make
use of animals to do the work for
them. They grow rows of tiny hooks
designed to catch In the coats OF ami

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In calling attention to the need Tor
more study of the care of nides, the
making Of leather and its care, the
bureau Of chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture
SAYS that the farm, which produces
the raw materials, uses more or the
finished products than does any other
industry. The total number of hides
and skins used in making leather in
this country in 1914 was more than
14O, 100000, costing the tanners, it is
estimated, $24O,OOO,000 plus $45.OOO,-
600 worth Of tanning, curing, and
finishing materials. The factory value
of leather goods made from these ma
terials is estimated at more than
$3.50. 100000, for which the ultimate
user paid at least $1,000,0OO,OOO.
Better methods of tanning, says the
department, should materially reduce
the cost of. shoes and harness to the
farmer. Country butchers and farm
ers now supply about 80 per cent OF
the hides and skins used in this coun-
I try. Carelessness, lack of knowledge
of taking off, curing, and selling these
hides and skins cause the loss OF
about one-third of the value to the
farmer. These losses are at least
$15,OOO0OO annually.
The long-used vegetable tanning
| materials, which are direct products
! of the forest and farm, are totally in
adequate at the present time, says the
department, to supply the country's
needs. Through better processes anC

For at first he had interpreted it t"

had to fear must be on the train.
Later he had felt certain that this

any one Of them who knew him

The bag certainly had not been car

compartment at that end of the car

therefore, had been carried out the
rear door, and the man who had
opened it, if a passenger, must still
| be in the rear part of the train.
Eaton, refilling his cigar-case to
give his action a look of casualness,
got up and went toward the rear of
the train. A porter was still posted
| at the door Of the Santoine car, who
warned him to be quiet in passing
through. The car, he found, was en-
tirely empty; the door to the drawing
room where Santoine lay was closed.
He went on into the observation
car. A few men and women plssen-
gers here were reading or talking.
! CHANGING on past them through the
glass door at the end of the car, he
saw Harriet Santoine standing alone
on the observation platform. The
girl did not see him; her back was
toward the car AS he went out onto
the platform and the sound of the
closing door came to her, she turned
to meet him.
She looked white and tired, and
faint gray shadows underneath her
ewes showed where dark circles were
beginning to form.

explained quietly, accepting him as
one who had the right to ask.
"How is your father?''
"Just the same; there may be nc

To prevent either undue enhance

products. farmers engaged in COOP
erative marketing must keep close
account of their costs of operation,
DR.. Henry G. Taylor, chief of the
bureau of agricultural economics,

ISOLATION at Chicago.
Farmers who associate themselves
for collective bargaining are likely to

proper cost accounting" Doctor Tay-
lor said. "They may either un1uly
enhance prices in specific cases, con-
trary to the Capper-Volstead act or
they may over-stimulate production
and in the long run depress prices
below the proper point.
"To make the right decision regard

use, Intensity of culture, and the most

products. the &C.. nf various opera.

Eaton acknowledged. He moved away
from them, and sat down in one Of
the seats further down the car.
Soon he left for his own car, and
as the door was closing behind him,
a sound came to his ears from the car
he just had left-a young girl sud-
denly crying in abandon. Harriet
Santoine, he understood, must have
broken down for the moment, after
the strain of the operation; and Ea-
ton halted as though to turn back,
feeling the blood drive suddenly upon
his heart. Then, recollecting that he
had no right to go to her, he went on.

EXPERIMENTS ON DRY cow
Lime and Phosphorus Have Much
to Do With Milk Production
and Unborn Calf.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has made some expert
ments with regard to the feeding of a
dry COW. Lime and phosphorus have
much to do with the milk production
and building up of the body Of the
unborn calf. For that reason it is a
good practice to feed the cows well
when they are dry and at the end Of
their lactation period in order that
they may store up these valuable ele-
ments for use when the large demand
of the lactation period is made.

WHITEWASH is VERY USEFUL
Standard Recipe as Recommended by
University Farm Will Be Handy \
in Spring Cleaning.

With the annual cleanup time at
hand, good use can be made of good
quality of whitewash. A standard re-
cipe for such, as recommended by Uni
versity farm people, is as follows:
Stake one-half bushel of fresh lime
with boiling water, covering the re-
ceptacle to keep in the steam. Strain
the liquid through fine sieve, and add
seven pounds of fine salt, previously
dissolved in warm water; three pounds
of ground rice, boiled to thin paste

More than 500 farmers and breeders
raising all kinds of domestic animals
answered questions sent out by the
United States Department of Agricul-

determined that these men consider
purebreds 40 per cent better from a

They say that offspring of purebreds
are worth practically so per cent more
in sale value than the offspring OF
grades and scrubs. Also. purebreds
were found in nearly all cases to be
