If tho ground is mellow and rich,
nearly every stalk will grow a singlo

BREEDING PLACES FOR FLIES
Treatment Recommended by United
States Department of Agriculture
to Control Insects.
"
Manuro piles nro flies' favorlto
breeding places. If farmers will kcop
manuro and stnblo sprinkled with a
solution that will kill tho larva, flies
need not becomo numerous. Tho fol
lowing treatment, recommended in
United Stntos department of agricul
ture bulletin 118, will control flies and
will mako u noticcablo reduction in
tho number around a given place: DIs
solvo thrco-fourths of a pound ot
borax In two or thrco gallons of water.
Spray or sprinklo manure plies and
stables with tho solution about twice
a week.
This will kill tho larva which hatch
from eggs laid in manuro Tho danger
to human health from lllos Is sufficient
to mako tho wiso farmer take these
prccautlons,tbut If h9 looks for further
Justification It can bo found in tho pro
tection of Hvo stock. Human diseases
nro Bpread by flies and Hvo stock nro
worried by them. Tho danger to hu
man welfaro must bo concoded, but
tho loss to Hvo stock is not so onelly
seen. Animals which aro pestered by
files will lose flesh, and stnblo Hies rob
them of blood.
NEW PATENT ON CULTIVATOR
Extra Blades Travel In Advance, Cut
ting Sod, Weeds or Crust That
May Have Formed.
John S. Smith, n Raclno county
(Wisconsin) inventor, sends In a de
scription of his now patent cultivator
to tho Farming Business. This culti
vator has extra blades that travel In
advance and parallel to tho cultivator
blades for tho cutting of sod, roots,
weeds and any crust that may havo
formed, leaving tho cultivator blades
to do their work of stirring tho soli.
Ono lover manipulates both knlvos and
cultivators. This relievos draft, as It
is not necc3sarv to tear into tho soil
! so deeply to do both tho breaking of
tho sod and crust and tho cultivation
with ono sot of blades. Any ono of the
four beams used to carry tho knlvos
and cultivators can bo adjusted lndt
pendontly bo as to meet all kinds of
conditions of soil and vegetation.
MANURE LOSES BY LEACHING
When Rains Fall Much of Soluble
Plant Food Is. Carried Away
Moisture Holds Plant Food.
Farmers havo been so accustomed
to throw tho manuro from tho stnblo
In a pllo In tho barnyard, and leavo It
until it "is convenient to haul It to tho
Holds, that they do not glvo tho mat
ter of loss by washing and leaching
any consideration. Usually but llttlo
of tho value of tho solids of tho ma
nuro is lost in tho stable, but great
losses occur after it is thrown in a
pile. Tho manuro in tho stable, sat
urated by tho urine, contains mora
than SO per cent water.
The moisture In tho manuro holds In
solution tho greater part of tho plant
foods which the manure contains.
When tho rains fall upon tho manuro
tho leaching process carries away
much of tho soluble plnnt foods and it
is lost beyond recovery, for It Is either
carried away in the wator as it flowa
on tho surfaco to the streams, or sinks
Into tho ground whore, for all practi
cal purposes, It is wasted.
TESTING FERTILITY OF EGGS
If Trouble Is With Male Fowl Replace
Him Make Suro Feeding Ration
Is Not Responsible.
Thoso who mako a specialty of sell
ing hatching eggs from selected mat
Ings should keep a careful test on tho
fertility of eggs produced, bo that
poorly fertilized eggs will not bo sont
out to customers; necessitating replac
ing the eggs later and causing delay
In getting young chicks started toward
tho showrooms.
If tho fertility Is not good roplaco
tho malo bird with another or make
Buro that tho feeding ration is not re
sponsible for tho trouble.
TO STORE PERISHABLE FOODS
Every Farm Should Be Provided With
Cellar, Storehouse and Refrig
erator for Crops.
Farmers loso much every year bo
causo their facilities for storing per
ishable foods aro poor.
Every farm homo should havo a cel
lar, storehouse and refrigerator so tho
surplus foods may bo saved till such
tlmo as they may bo consumed.
Tho fact that producers havo Inado
quato facilities for saving perlshablo
products gives speculators advan
ui;es over them.

PROFIT IN RAISING TURKEYS
Farmers Are Cautioned to Give Mar
keting Problems More Attention
Dost Ulrds for Breeding.
For thoso who conduct tho business
carofully turkoy raising is likely to
bo very profitable. Tho domand in
this country continues to Increase, ap
parently, fastor than tho supply. Farm
ers who go into tho business, howovor,
aro cautioned to glvo tho marketing
problem considerable attention in ad
vance In tho turkey publications ot tho
United States department of agricul
ture, which is Farmors' Dullotln No.
200, tho following rules for Bolectlng
turkoys for breeding aro given:
First Always uso as brccdora
turkoy bona over ono year old. Do
Buro they nro strong, healthy, and
vigorous, and of good medium slzo. In
no instanco select tho smaller ones.
Do not Btrivo to havo thorn unnatu
rally largo.
Second Tho malo may bo a year
ling or older. Do not imagine that
largo, overgrown males nro best.
Strength, health, and vigor, with well
proportioned, medium slzo, nro tho
main points- of oxcollonco.
Third Avoid closo breeding. Now
blood is of vital importanco to turkoys.
The Great American Bird.
Better send a thousand miles for a
now malo than to risk tho chances of
inbreeding. Securo ono In fall so
as to bo assurod of his health and
vigor prior to tho breeding season.
BETTER ATTENT0N TO EGGS
Thiy Should Be Uniform in Color and
Shape, and Regular In Size as
Far as Possible.
More attention should bo paid to
eggs at all times and under nil cir
cumstances. This means that thoy
should bo uniform in color aud Bhapo
and regular in size as far ns posslblo.
If thoy had more attention paid to
them at our fairs; and were brought
to tho notlco of tho public and tho
farmors In particular, much good
would come from It. Lot us offer
good prlzos for a display of eggs, say
not loss than thrco dozen, and havo it
stipulated that thoy bo strictly fresh;
that no cold Btorago stock need apply
for tho sako of selecting for size. It
such a plan wero carried out nt n
number of our fairs for a few years
tho selection of good eggs would got
to bo a sclenco and would interest tho
poultry public to a great degree, and
bo of untold benefit to all of us,
whether as producors or consumers of
eggs.
GOOD POULTRY FEED ADVICE
Poor Economy to Give Fowls but One
Kind of GValn Make Them Ex
erclso by Scratching.
Thero Is no economy in feeding
fowls ono kind of grain, for thnt com
pels them to eat moro than thoy ought
In order to get a sufllclont quantity of
food olements. '
A largo part of tho egg 1b wator,
which shows tho necessity of provid
ing layors with an ample supply of
puro clear water in fountains or disboB
which nro frequently disinfected.
A sluggish hen is never a good lay
er, Tho flock should bo mado to oxor
clso by scratching for wholo and
cracked grains in n deep litter ot clean
material and Jumping for green food,
such as a cabbago or mangels.
Fattening Water Fowls.
By putting somo caro into tho fat
tening of water fowlB tho farmer's
wifo will bo able to realizo moro out
ot them. Sho will bo In Bhapo to so
licit orders for lino tahlo wator fowl;
and onco her namo is established sho
will havo moro orders for them than
sho can fill.
Drafts Mean Roup.
A draft In the poultry houso means
roup in tho Hock. Prevention is tho
best method and much choaper than
tho euro.
A LAND PROBLEM AHEAD
(FROM THE PEORIA JOURNAL.)
Tho Nobraflka Stato Journal calls at
tention to tho fact that Undo Sam's
opening ot a 4,000-ncro trnct In the
North Platto irrigation district for sot
tlemont practically winds up tho "free
land distribution" ot tho nation. It
adds:
"Froo or cheap land has boon
tho American safety vnlvo. A
population straining for self-hot-torment
has had its own remedy
to go west and grow up with tho
country. With tho government
reduced to advertising an opening
ot forty-throo farms, tho safety
valvo may bo conBlderod forover
closed. Tho oxpanslvo onorgy for
merly oxertcd outward, must hord-
attor work Itself out intensively.
Increasing land speculation, with
rapidly rising prlcoa ot land and
proportionately Increasing dissat
isfaction among tho landless would
Booni luovitablo. Tho tono of our
politics and tho intensity of our
social problems cannot but bo vi
tally changed under tho strain ot
doaling internally with a social
proBsuro which hlthorto has had
tho wilderness to vent Itself upon.
'"Land hunger will soon becomo a
roaltty in this rapidly growing country
and tho constant prcssuro ot popula
tion, increasingly higher than tho ratio
of production, Is bound to bring us
faco to fnco with economic problems
that wo havo herotoforo considered re
mote. Tho fnr-Blghtod statesman and
publicist must dovoto his thought
earnestly to tho consideration 6t theso
questions If wo aro to oscapo tho ox
trcmcs which curso tho older nntlona
of tho world."
In tho above will bo found ono of
tho reasons thnt tho Canadian Govern
ment is offering 1G0 acres ot laud froo
to tho actual settlor. There Is no
dearth of homosteadB of this slzo, and
tho land Is of tho highest quality, be
ing such as'producos ylolds ot from 30
to GO bushols of wheat per aero, whilo
oats run from fifty to over hundred
bushols por aero. It Is not only a mat
tor of free grants, but In Western Can
ada aro also to bo had othor lands at
pricoB ranging from $12 to $30 por
aero, tho dlfferenco In price being
largely a matter of location and dls
tnnco from railway. If ono takes Into
consideration tho scarcity of froo
grant lands in tho United States it is
not difficult to undorotnnd why thoro
has boon most material advancos in
tho prico of farm land3.
A few years ago, land that now scllsj
for two hundred dollars an acre in
Iowa, could havo boon bought for sov-onty-ilvo
dollars an aero or Iobs. Tho
Increased prlco is warruntod by tho
increased valuo of tho product ralsod
on these farms. Tho lands thnt today
can bo had1 in Wostom Canada at the
low prices quoted will In a loss tlmo
than that taken for tho Iowa lands to
Incrcnao, havo a proportionate ln
crcaao. In Nebraska tho lands that
sold for sixteen to twonty dollars por
aero Bovon yoars ago, find a market at
ono hundred and soveuty-flvo dollars
an acre, for tho same renson glvon for
tho increaso In Iown lands. Values
In thoso two States, as well as in oth
ers thnt might bo mentioned, show
that Western Canada lands aro going
