KemcnilK-r the importance of the
kitchen garden.
The dairy without Uip Babeock test
er is like the engine without a gov
ernor.
Kittle things done in season will
lighten the big tasks and make farmIng -
Ing more pleasant and profitable.
Preaching economy doesn't amount
to much. You must practice it , but
there Is such a thing as being too
economical.
Dairying is a readj * money business ,
and no other branch of live stock keepIng -
Ing can compare with it for enriching
the farm.
Three common faults in butter mak
ing are overripe cream , overchurning
and overworking. The first moans
strong butter , the second and third soft
butter.
Many lovers of fine horses are ain-
bltlous to breed their o\vn driving
horses , breeding high class trotting bred
mares to Hackney or Couch stallions
for beauty and action.
One farmer recommends as a pre
ventive of ravages on the sheep flocks
by dogs that the sheep owner place
with liis flock a billy goat that will get
along very well with the sheep and de
fend them from the docs ,
lA Mississippi steamboat which car
ried away a cow's calf was followed
thirty miles by the bereaved animal ,
swimming all the time. When the cow
iwas about to be drowned from ex
haustion she was rescued by fisher
men.
The onion crop of Texas is becom
ing an important factor in the large
eastern markets. Texas onions are
crowding out Bermudas and prices of
the latter are steadily falling : . It Is
said that the quality of the Texas
onion is almost if not equal to that of
the famous Bermudas.
Be careful to furnish a good dust
bntli for fowls , for it is the only nat
ural means the bird has of ridding it
self of lice and mites. Provide a
house free from' vermin , then provide
the birds with a good dust bath , and
the question of lice and mites will be
reduced to a minimum.
It Is estimated that the fanners of
Colorado finished more than a million
sheep and lambs last year , mainly on
alfalfa. It was a bad year for the
sheep business , and it is said that the
loss \vlll be about $1 per heail. How
ever , no credit is given for the great
amount of fertility returned to the
land.
More horses are injured by enforced
Idleness than by work. Days that
horses are not at work they should
run In a 'box stall or yard. Their hair
may not lie quite as close and even be
& little longer , but they will keep
healthier and be in much better shape
for next season's work for having their
regular exercise every day , either in
the harness or out in the yard.
There were fifty-six calls upon the
Wisconsin dairy school last year for
men to lill good positions in cheese
factories , and fifty-throe buttermaka
ers -were wanted. In addition to these
there were numerous requests for men
skilled in the operation of creameries.
The college was unable to supply all
the demands , and yet some farm boys
prefer to sell neckties in a city store
on a salary of $ S per week rather than
to take a course at the agricultural
college.
An English stock journal tells of a
famous veterinary surgeon who was
once called on to decide a question
of blindness in a horse , concerning
which two London vets differed. lie
entered the yard where the horse stood
and , without examining tiie animal's
eyes , ordered a halter to be put on him
and an empty bucket to be placed in
the middle of the yard. Then taking
the halter he led the horse in a direct
line for the bucket. The horse went
forward and blundered over It with
his forelegs. "Blind , without a doubt"
the verdict.
ProHpers at Peimit FurniinsT.
Seven years ago Mrs. Jennie R. Cass
found herself confronted with the prob
lem of bringing up and educating six
children on fifty acres of poor land in
North Carolina. Besides her land and
little house she possessed an aged
horse and a mule , one cow , twenty-two
chickens and three razor-back hogs.
Slie decided to raise peanuts and be
gan reading everything on the subject
she could procure. She was wi.se
enough to know her soil was poor and
she began a system of rotation of crops ,
gradually increasing her acreage of pea
nuts. Now she has twenty-live devoted
to them.
'During ' the seven years she has not
only succeeded in keeping her children
In school , but now she has live blooded
liorsps. a herd of registered cows and a
small Hock of well-bred sheep. On the
little farm she raises all Uie bacon ,
butter , etrtrs. poultry , bread-stuffs , corn
and forage , which her family or her
stock require * . She its in good circum
stances and people regard her as an ex
pert.
An Expert Farmer.
An exchange says a young man asks ,
"What would you advise a young man
raised on a farm who cannot stand the
dust of haying and thrashing and is
most too light to do heavy farm work
to do ? "
Gardening , floriculture , poultry rais
ing , civil engineering all are good. If
he is built for an expert , there are
andscape gardening. Inside decorating
and a number of other good occupations
open to him.
The young man who Is built for an
expert that is. one who is naturally
.
bright , careful and painstaking will
succeed in any of the above or in almost -
most any other occupation. ITe will
have to learn the * business lie selects ,
lie cannot learn any of them from a
"correspondence school. " He needs a
practical instructor who can show him ,
ami the way to become an expert is lo
begin at the bottom and work up , thor
oughly learning , all the details as one
goes along. The expert is always in
demand , and lie commands the top
vfages.
" \Vhatcver vocation a young man goes
Into , he should be thorough as he goes
filong , always keeping his eyes open
for better ways pf doing the work he
has In hand. All vocations are crowd-
efl with ordinary workers , but there's
still lots of room In the upper ranks.
The Dairy COTT'M Product.
The products of the dairy cow are
fourfold. The first and chief product
is , naturally , the milk which she se
cretes , and which ia used as milk , or
for butter or cheese making. The second
end product is calves which she bears ,
and which may be of more or less
value. Third , the carcass of beef which
she will yield when she is no longer
useful for the production of milk
should be taken into account. Lastly ,
the manure she produces is of consid
erable value.
We may call tile milk the main prod
uct and the calves , beef and manure
the by-prodwcts of the dairy cow. It
has been asserted that the milk product
is the only thing that should be taken
into consideration in estimating the
value of the dairy cow , and that the
calves and beef should be entirely ig
nored by a successful dairyman , but
in these days of strong competition it
is not possible to ignore the byproducts
ucts , and in any scheme of successful
dairying the calves and.beef at least
should ; be taken into consideration.
This does not mean that in any case
milk producing qualities arc to he
sacrificed for the sake of the by-prod
ucts.
It simply means that of two animals
of equal value for the production of
milk the one that will give the greater
return in production of calves and
value of carcass is more profitable.
Agricultural Epitomist.
Uai.so Alfalfa.
The hay crop is one of the principal
products of the farm. In 100G there
ucre raised 57,145,9o9 tons of hay ,
valued at SSOLV CO.CTl , while the wheat
crop the same year had a value of
? 490,3S2,7GO. Hay enters largely into
the live stock industry and is a lead
ing commercial product in supplying
the consumption of horses in cities.
Hay maintains a parity of value with
corn ami oats for feeding operations
and is usually fed in the proportions
of one and a half to two pounds to a
hundred pounds live weight of animals.
Hay is regarded as roughage and is
necessary in animal husbandry to
equalize fie concentrated nutriments of
grain.
Alfalfa is one of the richest legumes
and is economical for its large yields
and feeding qualities. The cultivation
of alfalfa marks a new era in agri
culture. It leads clover in the yield
per aero and also in its nutrient prop
erties. It yields two to four crops per
season and should IK ? more extensively
cultivated in sections devoted to ani
mal industry. It loves sunshine and
takes vast quantities of nitrogen from
th atmosphere and deposits it in the
sell to fertilize future crops.
Alfalfa is rich in protein , which
makes heavy bone and strong muscles.
It is relishe < l alike by horses , cattle.
sheep , hogs- and poultry , and when fed
to stock in the feed lots reduces the
train ration and the expense of finish-
Tig feeders for market. It Is partic
ularly adapted to fattening sheep and
growing wool. Hogs thrive on alfalfa
and it enters largely into the problem
of producing cheap meat.
Alfalfa renovates and rejuvenates a
run-down farm. It grows stalwart
roots that create humus In the soil.
The strong roots strike deep into the
soil , making It porous and Immune
from droughts. It is admirably adapt
ed to ihe bee industry , as alfalfa honey
is equal to the nectar gathered from
the flowers of the linden tre\ Alfalfa
is a general utility legume adapted to
all kinds of live stock , poultry and the
honey industry. The cultivation of al
falfa should be extended , as soil not in
digenous to it can be inocuhued with
alfalfa bacteria. Its introduction wiil
increase the fertility of the land and
aid iu the solution of cheap meat pro
duction. Goodall's Fanner.
SOME BE3HASES FZOIE
SOTA EDITORS.
\Vhaf Tlit-y Think of AVe.it or a
f A party of editors from a numb-r
of cities .nd ; towns of Minnesota re
cent ! \ made a tour of Western Canada ,
and having returned to their hems
they are now telling in their respective
newspapers ' of what they saw on their
Canadian ( trip. Tlr * West .St. I'aul
Times recalls the excursion of the Min
nesota editors from Winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to 1 what has happened in the interval
t'ie 1 ' writer says : 'Thousands of mi-es
of < new railway lines have been built ,
and the development of the country
has i made marvelous strides. Millions
of acres , then lying in their wild and
untouched i state , have sinr-e been trans
ferred 1 into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as if by the wand of a
magician i , and their development is now
in i full progress. It is a revelation , a
record ! of conquest by .settlement that
is remarkable. "
The Hutchlnson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
undeveloped. The summer outing , " it
says ' , "was an rye-opener to every mem
ber i of the party , even those who were
on the excursion through Western Can
ada ten years ago , over considerable
of the territory covered this year , being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made in that short space of time. J
The time will come when Western Can
ada will lie the bread-basket of the
world. It was a delightful outing
through a great country of wonderful
}
possibilities arid resources. "
Since the visit of these editors the
government lias revised its land regula
tions and it is now possible to secure
ICO acres of wheat land at $3 an acre
in J addition t < ? the ICO acres that may
be ' homcsteaded.
The crops of 190S have been splen
- did ( , and reports from the various districts
I
tricts show good yields , which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone , Saskataliewan , there
are reported yields of thirty bushels of
spring wheat to the acre , while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 000,000 bushels.
Information regarding free lands and
transportation will be freely given by
