TUB NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , OCTOBER 17. KKXi. About 18 per cent of what we buy and pny for as butter Is not butter at all , but Just water , snlt and casein. As a general thing one cow to the acre of blue grass pasture Is enough , while three can be as well or better pastured on one acre of alfalfa. Every plant has Its parasite , some times two of them. If It should happen that there was a single exception , a parasite would be created for the work. The selling price of slrlolti steak has much to do with the price of eggs. A dozen eggs are worth more for food than a pound of steak , and the people know It. A Chinaman would get rich If he could have the privilege of using for crop production the waste corners and epots on most of our northwestern farms. How many acres of waste land have you ? The salvlas as n flower for garden decoration have given us much satis faction this season. A bed of them will give the most uniform and brilliant lot of cardinal red bloom from July until frost comes of any flower we have. When farmers get to regard agricul ture as a profession rather than as a vocation , a new type of agriculture \vlll develop. Viewed as a profession , the benefits and necessity of agricul tural education will bo rightly appre ciated. The burning of thrashing machine separators , the cutting off of horses' tails and manes , the mutilating of cows' udders and the cutting of fences to let stock Into cultivated fields are samples of a rural savagery and bar barism which should bo met with such penalties of law as would exterminate the offender. Four or five seasons of drought evi dently stored up a lot of fertility in the Boil and failed to make available the fertilizers which during that time were applied to the fields. This sea- eon's abundant rains have made all this harvest of stored plant food avail able and partly explains the prodigious growth of all vegetation. There has been a good deal said in the agricultural press lately to the ef fect that a light frost would be a bene fit to the belated corn crop in hasten ing its maturity. Wo do not believe that corn is ever under any circum stances benefited by freezing. Any in terference with the natural processes of ripening Is damaging to the crop. We are asked about the vitality of weed seeds In manure. If the manure goes through a process of heating and fermenting which , by the way , great ly lowers its value as a fertilizer the vitality of the seeds contained in it will be destroyed. If it is simply al lowed to decay and rot without such fermentation , the chances are that the vitality of the weed seeds contained in It are probably not impaired to any great extent A thing like this so rarely occurs that It Is worth noting : A grain buying firm in a western state used toweigh the'lr purchase from the farmers on a Bet of scales which were out of whack and which beat the buyers out of about 250 pounds on every load bought. The firm could not locate the evident leak in their business until they got an expert from the factory. Not a farmer who sold them grain peeped. If the boot had been on the other leg , Rome would have howled. The co-operative farmers' concerns organized to handle their produce and give them staple commodities at cost price are now facing a new phase of the co-operative plan set In operation to exterminate them. The middlemen who are by the farmers' organizations displaced and deprived of their profits have organized , and In one case out of twenty commission houses which have formerly handled the consignments from the farmers' concerns all save one now refuse to handle their busi ness. The most Important educational in stitution In this country today is the olco college of fine arts , the professors of which propose to educate the masses to prefer the uncolored tallow of a range steer doped up with chem icals to the golden product of old bos- ey. This Is n Reform movement with a big R , and , while the college Is endowed dewed with millions and tuition free , the effort Is a foreordained failure from the start. The American people are not fools , and , while they may beget got to use oleo' by fraud , they con never be Induced to use It In a legiti mate way , More farmers are gulled on the steel range swindle than on any other fake since the palmy dnjs of the llohcmlaii oats fake. Karma upoa whleh flocks of sheep nre kept are always clean farms and fertile ones. This fact deserves more attention than It receives. The utter Inability to secure good country schoolteachers at the old wages has compelled school directors to advance the wages of the teachers. The crop of apples on an Illinois or chard of 12. > acres was recently sold for $11,500 , while the property cost the present owners only $11,000 lust nnrlng. An agricultural paper published In an eastern city contains a picture of u man harvesting his wheat crop , using a mowing machine to do so. This sort of thing makes western men grin. Every civil township should own a gravel bed If there Is one to be had Inside - side Its borders. In all the black prai rie country thcro Is no way .In which to Improve the highways so easily and cheaply as1 to use gravel. What may bo termed the leavings and pickings of a farm can be more readily utilized by the sheep than any other animal. Aside from the scattered grain thus saved and used , n fence cor ner crop of weeds and grass is also turned Into money. Who ever heard before of making a roadbed out of straw ? Out in Wash ington In order to get rid of the dust In the summer and the mud in the win ter over 300 miles of highway have re cently been covered with about n foot of straw , the straw being contributed by the farmers along the highway. To get rid of two mice which had been seen In the house , one of which was killed with a broom , we have kept one uncouth old tomcat , his black con cubine , raised two batched of kittens , had the young wrens and robins all killed and been wowwowed o' nights to beat the baud. Give us the mice. We don't know very much. There is one great advantage about the silo often overlooked , and that is I that wet and catchy weather never ' prevents the putting up of the silage , nor does the ralu In any way Impair its quality. It Is safe to say that one- half of the hay put up in the United States this season has been Injured by rains to a greater or less extent. It is worth mentioning that the cat tle which brought the highest price paid for beef animals for twenty years on the Chicago market up to the mid dle of September were eighteen grade Hereford steers grown in South Da kota and fed for a year on soaked corn and oats , averaging 1,518 pounds and bringing ? S.S3 per hundredweight , or 5134.34 per bcrtd. The hardest Job which the society journals have Is to instruct the dear people how to eat sweet corn from the cob when in company with a becoming grace and gentility. The best way In which to serve it for company Is to cut the corn from the cob before it is brought on the table , for no fine lady can simper just right when she has three big shelled ears lying by the side of her plate and her teeth fast In a fourth one. So well satisfied are we that stuffing the young pigs with new corn and nothing else is a most provoking cause of swine plague and cholera that we would not feed a ration wholly com posed of it even if it were furnished free. One or two ears of new corn a day , with a slop of ground rye , bar ley and oats and plenty of green food- rape or blue grass or clover will push the pigs fast enough to be finished for market during the early winter on the new corn well matured. A dairyman friend of ours Is Just now filling a 500 ton silo with the product of forty acres of field corn. The corn Is BO large a crop that he will hardly get it all in his Bllo. This silage will fur nish him a most excellent dairy ration for 138 cows for six months , allowing forty pounds a day per cow. In no oth er manner is It possible to BO easily and cheaply provide a desirable ration for a dairy herd. He will supplement this silage ration with well cured clover hay and gluten meal. There is a whole lot of foolish Btuff printed about corn growing BO tall , Just as though the height of the stalk in any manner indicated the prospective yield of the crop. Our own experience proves that it is not the tallest stalks which produce the biggest cars. We have been through fields of corn in Arkansas where the stalks would average - ago twelve feet In height all over the field and where a good crop was fifteen bushels per acre. The diameter of the stalk rather than its height better de termines the size of the car and thus of the crop. Wo are Inclined to think that In the effort to do business on the largest scale possible the modern thrashing outfit has grown altogether too large for profitable work either for the own er of the machine or his patrons. In communities where these huge ma chines are at work every available hand from a dozen or more farms haste to be drafted to operate it , and when the thrashing la Interfered with , as It was this beapon by continuous ralno , an Immense loss results. Either the grain should bo stacked as In the old way , which Is always a good way , or a smaller thrashing outfit should be owned Jointly by two or three farmers to do the work when needed at the proper time. txrnuTAivnr.s OP .umici i/rrui : . With modern uinehli * v the aim Isle lo PO perfect It that rawjfiunterlnl may be fed Into one end of the umchlm > and n finished product taken out of the oth IT , the manipulation il'd varied proc- MUCH of manufacture to be performed ns nearly automatically and by thn machine Itself as possible. In many Hues this has been accomplished , and the fact explains the cxceci'jkjg cheap ness of our matches , Hteel riHiH , textile fabrics , watches and hundreds of oth er manufactured products. This theo ry , however , can never be applied to the farm and Its work with any degree of success , for while the factory may depend upon the machines to always do perfect work a set of uncertain and ever varying conditions environ the farmer whleh It la beyond the power of mortal man to anticipate or foresee. The two IteniH alone of varia tions of temperature and rainfall can easily work to hlH advantage and crown his labors with success or over whelm him with failure. Then he has all the uncertainties of under or over production , supply and demand and the caprices of the market to gut-HH at , and , as If this were not enough , a host of parasitic and epidemic pests ever lying In wait for him In the back ground , and HO It comes that fanning must be done largely by faith and Its bles.slngs and profits figured up by av erages , of course all the time having reference to certain elemental facts and truths of culture , tillage and fertilizing which ever remain fixed. The condi tion of his business Is Bitch that It might bo truthfully said that a fanner should never spend his money until ho has got It In his jeans. onsTitrcTisn WATISIIWAYH. The past summer has taught some very expensive lessons both to Individ uals , corporations and municipalities In the matter of surface drainage. In order that the bridging and piling might be made more desirable by fill ing and streets bo brought up to grade by the cities the natural outlets for storm waters ( extraordinary rainfalls ) have been so narrowed and restricted that in a season of flood and freshets like the present enormous injury haa been wrought. Just as the value of a water power IB largely based upon the minimum flow of water In the stream so the size of a bridge or culvert or the height of on embankment must have Its safety point adjusted to the maxi mum flow of water. We know of one railway which , Ignoring this factor of safety , has this summer lost enough In value of bridges , culverts and ruined roadbed to have properly constructed about every bridge and culvert upon Its line. TIIC OMJ MAN GOT IKKT. The story Is a pretty good one and runs like this : A fanner had three boys , who were falthtful little workers on the farm. Two years before he had given each of them a runty steer calf , telling them that If they would care for the animals they should have them for their very own. The boys made three nice steers out of their pets. One morning at breakfast the farmer said that Jones , the local butcher , had of fered him $ , " 0 each for the steers and that he guessed ho would go down town In the evening and tell him he could have them. When ho went Into the- pasture at night , ho found the steers gone , and when his wife told him that the boys had Bold them and each boy had $50 In his pocket that man's feelings were too deep for utter ance , and he went out to the calf sta ble and suld something. INEVITAHLE WASTES. The farm operations of the west , which Include a large acreage , limited help and much machinery , Involve In evitably a waste which gives a down east farmer the cold chills. Where horse and machine can secure five bushels It will not pay for the man to stop the team to save the half bushel , wanton waste as It seems to be. Wo have hardly seen a meadow this sea son where from 200 , , to 400 pounds of hay could not have been raked up and saved after the fleld was cleared , but In most cases It would have Involved the loss of a ton of hay Ih the next field to have taken the time to ha o saved It. Some day this will stop. Land will become so valuable that the present wastes of the farm will have to be looked after. CO-OPERATIVE COOKING. Co-operative housekeeping is being tried in several communities with con siderable success that is , the eating and dishwashing part of domestic liv ing. About $2 per week per head for the family seems to furnish at a cen tral dining hall meals well cooked and served and good enough for any one. This figures $12 per week for a family of six persons , and If from this Is de ducted the wages of the hired girl kept under the old system , which Is seldom less than $5 per week , Including her board , It makes the living expense of such a family very reasonable Indeed and lifts a very heavy burden from the shoulders of the wife and mother. A LONG WAY YET TO TIIK TOP. Perfection in the creamery business Is not yet reached. For every tub of butter made which will score 07 thcro are ten tubs which will score 85 or lower. The production of the 07 but ter needs exceptional skill and condi tions and marks a standard of excel lence which the average creamery can not very well approach , but where the dairyman and the creameryman wor In Intelligent unison it should be pos sible to bring up the product of the av erage creamery to 00 or more. Tickets In Hands of Others Than Purchasers Not Valid , TICKET BROKERS ARE HARD HIT , Enjoined From Dealing In Return Halves of Excursion Passes Users , Apart From Original Holders , Held Liable to Prosecution for Forgery , Washington , Oct , 14.
