In other words , where the fowls are confined to runs , and the feed must be purchased , It costs 10 cents a month or $1.20 a year to maintain a hen. If the hen is an Indifferent layer and gives but sixty eggs In a year , her eggs cost the poul- tryman 2 cents each. An experiment conducted by the Cor nell experiment station in 1902 showed that the average cost of feed for a do/.en eggs was 9.2 cents , or about % of a cent an egg. The cost for each hen for the year was 99.G cents. At that time wheat was sold at $1.-J3 a hundred pounds , while at the present time it Is ? 2 ; bran sold at ? ! . ; a hun dred pounds and it Is now $1.SO ; and meat scraps cost $2.1.j a hundred pounds and now we pay $2.40. So at the present increased price of feed , the cost of feeding the hen is easily 20 cents a year more than it was in 1902. To make poultry profitable on the farm it is necessary to breed for bet ter laying. This is done by installing trap uests in the henhouses , and each year picking out the best layers and breeding only from such. The farmer must grade up his stock. He must get rid of the mongrel birds ; he must drive out the drones , and must encour age the workers. The farm must pro duce better poultry and more of it. There are advantages on the farm for poultry raising that the poultry- man does not have , and if the latter , in many ways handicapped , can make poultry keeping a successful business , the fanner should at least make the work a valuable adjunct to his in come. Properly managed poultry can be made the most profitable crop on the farm investment , expense and labor considered. It is argued by some farmers that their- hens cost them practically noth ing , as they have free range and can gather all the food they need. There is some truth in that , and there also Is sonic truth in the fact that farm ers' Hocks seldom yield a profit com pared with stock in the hands of a reg ular poultry man. Feeding : Meiftl , Wet or Dry. Many of our farmers seem to hold the opinion that feeding meal wet to their cows will bring better results than when fed dry. One old farmer makes the remark , "how can the cow get any goodness out of a pan of dry meal ? " yet notwithstanding the fact that so many dairymen hold to the practice of feeding the meal wet. the experiments to date indicate that bet ter results are obtained by feeding it dry. Professor Jordan , of the Maine Experiment Station , fed a bunch of calves corn and cob meal with long hay In dry form , as against hay which was run through a feed cutter , mois tened and sprinkled with corn and cob meal. The results were in favor of the dry feeding. The gain was great er , and less feed was required for 100 pounds of gain. Professor Jordan also conducted an experiment with two herds of dairy cows , one herd was fed dry feed , while the feed of the other was moistened. The greater yield of milk was obtained from the herd that received the dry feed. Temporary Sheep Fence. One of the best portable fences for use in soiling sheep is made in panels with supports , as shown in the sketch. Panels nre 1 < > feet ionir , inulo : of 4- ineh board solidly nailed totrcthor. After thte fence is once put up. sheep ire not likely to overturn it. A fence i'j feet hili will turn most lloeks. Farm and Home. Oocxl Dairy Animals. There is plenty of jioort dairy blood to tr < around , but there are too inaiy in'Uvlio are not looking for it. dairymen raise every heifer , re gardless of its individuality or breed nir. \\l ie ! some other dairymen with i mni-h better herd will not raise any if his heifer calves. What a iireat im- irovement itvould make if some ex- fhaime of calves could be made so that he man with conveniences and natural ibility could urow the very best calve- from the milk-producing cows. ( liKtrti-r ( "rack. This is one of the most serious troubles n bles with which we have to roJiterul in be dry climate. When crack our a ap ii pears it is a diilicult matter to brin.u iia down the new jirowth of sor.nd hoof a without firing and blistering , so that prevention is all important There Line no need to cut out the sole or open the heels , as it is called. The fro : : \v nnd beds should be left absolutely va alone , nnd they cannot be too well de a' veloped. The sole will take care of j a'n Itself , for nature exfoliates dead horn as required. Keep the wall rounded at the ground surface , the toe short and the frog prominent , nnd with few exceptions horses will come through all right. Field and Farm. While visiting a practical fanner a few weeks ago he said that where everything was fed out on the farm and the manure returned to the soil it should grow richer instead of poorer and that furthermore there was less connected with the farm when it was conducted on these principles than when the system was varied from year to year. One thing is certain , the growing nnd feeding of live stock on the farm * compels the growth of crops to feed that are best adapted for me promi tion of flesh and animal products. Prominent among these crops are clov er , alfalfa and the other nitrogen gath ering plants that possess a high feed ing value nnd are relished by animals on account of their palatability. We cannot too often repeat the fact that the farmers who follow a short crop rot f. tion. in which a legume. is grown every third year , need not worry about maintaining an adequate supply of nitrogen , providing he feeds these civps to live Mock and saves the manure , both liquid and solid , and returns it to the soil. When nitrogen ous grain foods ure purchased and fed to the animals in connection with the homegrown foods the increase In nitrogen is still greater. Agricultural Kpit'Mnist. I < Vcd I UK : 31 Ilk Cowi. Milk contains water , fat , protein ( casein nnd curd ) , sugar and ash. and these are all made from the constitu ents of the food. If suiiicient protein. fat and carbohydrates are not con tained in the food given her , the cow supplies this deficiency for a time by drawing on her own body , and gradu ally begins to shrink in quantity and quality of milk , or both. The stingy feeder cheats himself as well as the cow. She may suffer from hunger. although she is full of swale and hay , but she also becomes poor and does not yield the milk and butter sh" should. Her milk glands are a wonderful erful machine , but they cannot make milk casein ( curd ) out of the constitu ents in coarse , unappetizing , indiges tible swale hay or sawdust any more than tin1 farmer himself can make but ter Irom skim milk. She must nor only have a generous supply of good food , but It must contain sufficient amounts of the nutrients needed for making milk. I'ntil this fact is un derstood and appreciated , successful. profitable dairying is out of the ques tion. Many forcible illustrations of its truthfulness have been furnished by the agricultural experiment stations. II. 15. Speed. g the Farmer. In an important interview with Git- ford Pineliot , the government forester , and a member of the Country Life Commission , recently appointed by Mr. Roosevelt , given to Edward I. Far- I'ington , the following points are elab orated : The things which the Country Life Commission desires to do , above all else , is to make the fact plain that there is a tremendous problem befor ? ' the American farmer to-day. The things which must be secured for the farmer are better farming materials - * terials , better business and a better living. The commission is concerned with the two latter. Everything which has to do with making farm life efficient nnd pleasant - J ant will receive particular attention. ' for this is one of the most important of all agricultural problems. The commission will make no at tempt to impose anything on the farmi ' er , to dictate to him : or to carry paternalism - | ternalism to an objectionable degree. ' The facts are to be assembled in as complete a form as possible and placed 1 before the farmer in logical order. A German patent specification de scribes a process for preserving milk by removing all dissolved oxygen by means of the addition of a small quan tity of ferrous carbonate. The process is based on the fact that freshly-pre cipitated ferrous corbonate in the pres ence of oxygen immediately assimilates oxygen and evolves an equivalent quantity of carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous carbonate is sufficient for oO.Ofio parts milk , and the properties of the milk are not altered in any way by the addition , which should be made before the milk is boiled. Work Hours of Farmers. Professor P.oss. of the -Minnesota Agricultural College , says that static- ties of the actual hours of labor on the farms investigated show that farmers workniiro hours a day in summer and between four and five in winter. Pro- fess.ir P.ailey. of the Farm Life Com mission. tells the story of the sehool- ma'am work inn from 0 to 4 until she married a farmer , and had towork from 4 to ! . Moral , schoolma'ams make good wives for farmers. A HnlaiiciMl Italian. Corn and clover pasture forms a nearly balanced ration , and there \\ill little danger of injuring the breed ing qualities of the pigs if they are allowed plenty of corn and the run of good clover pasture. Horse 3trit. In Paris last ye.tr 40.2S ! ) horses were killed for food , which was 5.000 more than the previous year. These iinimals yielded L'U.CdO.OOO pounds of meat for human consumption. ZXTBAOBDINARY INCKEASE IN LAND VALUES. j Southern Alhertu In u. Mighty Good Country. No stronger or better evidence cai be given of the merits of a country than that which comes from the testi mony of the s-ttler who has determina tion to succeed. This is why we re produce the following letter , whicl sjxiaks for itself. These people wen Induced to go to Western Canada through the solicitation of a Canadian Government agent , who secured foi them low railway rates. Carmungay , Alta. , Canada , Dec. 15 , 'OS. Mr. C. J. Broughton , Canadian Govern ment Agency , K5 Adams street. Chicago : We had audacity enough to tackle the proposition of buying four sections of land in Southern Alberta , thirty miles east of Clairsholm. and heading up on the Little Bow , and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. We fenced three sections and the two home steads and built a house , barn , corrals and granary and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We hvve broken 200 acres of laud , which ha- ; been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat and our crop yielded only ten bushe'a to the acre , but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this coun try we must be prepared for storms and cold , at times. 20 to 30 below zero , yet on the whole the winters are mild ; and while there are exceptional crops , it is fair to say that the average farmer can depend on having a yield in average years of from 20 to 2. > bushels to the acre for spring wheit ; and winter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 'JO bush els to the acre on the average. We have now quite a bunch of horses , over 50 in all , about 350 sheep , after having sold 140 for mutton this full. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire , which are worth $20 ej'ch. The average price received for mutton sheep was $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 0 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cat tle on our ranch now , and last winter they picked their entire living from out- pasture , running to the straw stacks for she'ter at night. The Increase of land value has been extraordinary. Our land four years ago co&t us a little less th.in $0.00 an acre. We have sold one section for $15.00 , but we would not sell any more for less than $25.00 per acre , as we ex pect the railroad within four miles of our ranch within the next IS months. Southern Alberta of Western Canada is a mighty good country for any man or woman who loves outdoor 1'u'e and who wants to get good returns for their la bor and investment. We have been pleased with our treat ment from the Canadian government and can heartily commend Southern Alberta as a splendid country in which to locate. Yours very truly , ( Signed ) JAMES S.

Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound ? " If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question , she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy , made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston , Texas. " "When I first lieg.in taking- Lydia , E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had heen sick for three years with female troubles , chronic dyspepsia , and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines , but nothing1 did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well , when I read an advcrtismont of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound , and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound , and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give ! Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it , for it will surely cure you. " Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks , 819 Cleveland St. , Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
