A cheap scrub is tlie dearest animal
on a fann. It may be dear in two
ways.
A sevenrfoot mower is a flt compan
ion to the hay loader , us It is just the
width required so the loader can take
up a swath ata time.
Even a small dairy often means in
creased fertility on the farm. With
most cows the profit comes out of the
first six months of the milking period.
A Western man has discovered that
his poultry does much better when pro
vided a bed spring on which to roost.
He says they rest better and thus are
made more profitable.
It certainly looks like a wasteful
practice to buck away the straw at
thrashing time and burn it. There are
so many uses to which straw can be
put that it does not look right to see
It burned.
The lima bean has been an impor
tant article of food with us for many
1 years. At the present time thousands
' of acres are devoted to its culture ,
especially in regions of California ,
where rainfall is scanty.
While dairying has its disadvan
tages , it has this great advantage , that
it enables the farmer to utilize to an
unusual extent the cheaper labor on
the farm , and to make the most pos
sible out of a small tract of land.
There are several ways of planting *
strawberries. They are sometimes
grown in hills. In this case the plants
are set about two feet apart in rows
four feet apart , and all the runners are
cut off and the full strength forced in
to the single plant.
) In Germany , where an elaborate mili
tary system controls everything , every
( horse is available for the service of the
country in the event of war. Every
foal is registered and may be taken
away at any time by order of the gov
ernment , at a fixed price made by a
committee appointed for that purpose.
One of the remedies for low prices is
to endeavor to make each acre of
land double itself in production. As
many as sixty bushels of wheat have
been grown on one acre , as an experi
ment , yet some farmers who secure
twenty bushels per acre are satisfied.
There is always "room at the top" in
farming , as in every other occupation.
Wherever clover is grown lime gives
excellent results on the land , not only
on account of its chemical action on the
soil , but also because it enters very
largely into the composition of plants
and is frequently deficient in some soils.
[ Sulphate of lime ( land plaster ) on
heavy soils is a special fertilizer for
clover , and may be applied in the
spring of the second year.
The best way to set early spring-
'onions ' is to set out the small sets in
the fall. The latter part of November
is the proper time. Get the ground in
nice shape , same as you would in the
spring , and put in the sets in the ordinary -
( nary manner. In any common winter
they will live through with no protee-
'tlon , but it would do no harm to put
'on ' a light coat of mulching. You can
'use either the winter top sets or the
regular bottom sets.
An oleomargarine fraud was recently
discovered near a town in Indiana. Af
man in that locality was rapidly get
ting rich In operating a scheme con
trary to the federal laws. He would
.purchase oleo in Louisville at nine cents
per pound , bring it to his home and
convert it into what appeared to be
good country butter and he would take
it back to Louisville and sell it to
private customers at from twenty-five
to thirty cents per pound. He had es
tablished routes in many parts of the
city and was doing a big business.
Paint -tvitli Slclm Milk.
Stir into a gallon of milk about three
pounds of Portland cement and add
sufficient Venetian red paint powder
to impart a good color. Any other col
ored paint powder maypas well l e
used. The skim milk will hold the
paint , in suspension , but the cement ,
being heavy , will sink to the bottom , so
that it becomes necessary to keep the
mixture well stirred with a paddle.
Mix only enough at a time for one
day's use. Six hours after painting this
paint will be as immovable and unaf
fected by water as a month-old paint.
Cases are on record oi' this sort of
paint being in good condition after
twenty years , and it has preserved the
wood admirably. The addition of car
bolic acid or some other disinfectant
! makes it very suitable for dairy work ,
as It then has a cleansing effect.
Seed for 3Iowlnsr ami I'a turage.
A good mixture of seed for mowing ,
to be followed by pasturage , according
to a Eennsylvanin correspondent is six
quarts of timothy , sown with wheat ,
followed in the spring , without plow
ing , with a mixture of four quarts red
clover , two quarts alsUte , four quarts
redtoj ) . The clovers , he says , will hold
two years and the other grasses will
take their place.
Timothy or Clover.
After an experiment in fattening
horses the Illinois Experiment Station
says in effect about timothy hay for
horses that will be surprising to many
horsemen :
A fQature of the experiment was the
demonstration of the worthlessness of
timothy hay , something that horse flesh-
ers will do well to keep in mind. Tim
othy is good to haul to town and sell
to the other fellow. Clover beats it al
around. In the experiment horses feel
on corn , oats and clover gained 277
pounds each in ninety-two days. The
lot ted on the same ration except tim
othy was substituted for clovec , tin-
gain was 142 pounds and the. timothy
ration cost more than clover.
From this it is plain that timothy ife
an unprofitable raw material for farm-
feeding operations. If you must grow
it , sell to the man in town. Corn , oats
and clover hay , with a little bran and
oil meal , constitute an ideal ration for
fattening horses.

When in the ' 70s Russian settlers in
western Kansas had introduced the so-
called turkey hard winter wheat It
was found to be a good producer , but
there seemed to be no market for it.
Gradually the millers adapted their
machinery to its use and found it ex
cellent. This experience is repeated in
the case of the more recently introduced
durum or macaroni wheat , which is
better adapted to a dry climate than
any other wheat yet introduced. Farm
ers have been anxious about the market ,
but an investigation recently made by
Prof. W. H. Oliu , agronomist of the
Colorado Agricultural College shows
that there need be no further misgiv
ings about , selling this wheat. Prof.
Oliu his replies from Kansas City.
Omaha , St. Louis , Cincinnati , Chicago
and Minneapolis which show ready
markets in all these places for durum
wheat. The export demand is strong
but the time should soon come when
American manufacturers of macaroni
will purchase and use the American
product of this wheat at least to the
extent of supplying the American de
mand for macaroui. Kansas Farmer.
Farming : Is Ohangrins ? as a Greul
Industry.
There is not in America any man
who is more familiar with agriculture
as a business than Professor L. H.
Bailey , who , for years , has been at the
head of the Cornell Agricultural Col
lege , and has contributed much to th
farmers' sum of farm knowledge. Writ
ing in the Century , Professor Bailev-
says :
The character of farming is chang
ing rapidly. It is coming more and
more to be an efficient , profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception , in. the past we have
not given much consecutive thought to
the business nothing like as much a ?
the merchant gives to his business 01
the doctor to his. It has been so
"easy" a business that untrained men
could succeed in it The change in
economic and social conditions is
breaking up the tradition. Farinins
is becoming more difficult , and the old
methods must go. In the future only
the well-informed and efficient-thinking
man can succeed ; that Is , only the edu
cated man.
The country is to offer other advan
tages to the educated man than merely
to be a good farmer. There are good
opportunities for leadership on public
questions probably better opportunity
and with less competition than in the
great cities. The very fact that city
representation is increasing In the leg
islatures should make the able country
representative more of a marked man.
The growth of the institute movement ,
of the grange and other rural organi
zations , gives fresh opportunity to de
velop leadership of a high order.
It seems to me that by the very na
ture of the progress we are making ,
the college man must go to the farm.
In fact , college men have been going
back from the beginning of the agricul
tural education movement. Statistics
show that a very large percentage
actually have returned to farming , and
this in spite of the fact that cities have
been growing with marvelous rapidity ,
and that the whole system of agricul
tural colleges and experiment stations
has been developing and calling for
men. Considering the limitatlo'ns un
der which the agricultural colleges
have developed , without sympathy ,
with the indifference and sometimes
the opposition of educators the very
men who should have known better
with wholly inadequate funds , „ it i ?
little less than marvelous what they
have accomplished within a generation.
It is probable that the proportion o
students of the leading agricultural colleges - ,
leges who now engage in agricultural
pursuits is greater than that of stu
dents of colleges of law or of other pro
fessional colleges who follow their chos
en profession. No one nowquestions
the value of education to a lawyer or
physician ; why question its value to a
fanner ? The educated man will go
back to the farm If he is fitted to be a
farmer.

I Where Ships * Were Made.
I The name of Bath , Maine , is as iu-
separably associated with the history
! of , the merchant marine of the United
{ States , imd particularly with the Amer-
! lean ship-building Industry , as'tbat of

clustry In this country , or th.tt of
: gow with marine construction in the
! united kingdom , says the National
i Magazine. As a port of entry , Bath ,
' which once occupied a prominent posi
tion and did a flourishing trade with
the West Indies and Europe , has sunk
Into comparative insignificance , on ac-
.couut of the location of its magnificent
harbor so far from the great pathways
of present-day American commerce ; but
as a ship-building center , it has retain
ed the prestige won when its ships were
on every sea and in every port in the
world , in that much regretted ante bellum -
lum epoch , when the American flag was
as familiar wherever the commerce-
carriers of the sea penetrated as the
red ensign o.f the mistress of the seas.
Neither the increasing distance of the
Bath shipyards from the mntorials
which they consume , nor tlu > j > n\ial
change from wood to steel in Initl con
struction , have operated to deprive this
staid community of its st'll unchal

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health , and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge , the outdoor 1ije ( they
enjoy , the cleanly , regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved ,
nbt by constant medication , but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri-
qus or objectionable nature , , and if at any time a remedial agent is required , i5 assist
nature , only those of known excellence should be used ; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect , like the pleasant laxative remedy ,
Syrup of Figs , manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Ffgs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families , whose estimate
of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally.because
they know it is wholesome , simple and gentle in its action. We inform alfreputa-
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs , obtainecf , by an
original method , from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome California blue figs are
used to promote the pleasa-nt taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy andihence
we are free to refer to all well inibrmed physicians , who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. e
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs 0 9
always has the full name of the Company California Fig yrup Co. plainly
printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size , or having
printed thereon the name of any other company , do not accept it. If youjail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should : always have
a bottle on hand , as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children ,
whene/er a laxative remedy is required.
