The dogs In the state of Minnesota
nro valued for the purposes of taxation
At $5 each.
The south Is fast becoming a big
.greenhouse to supply the north with
fresh vegetables during the winter sea
son.
Kansas has produced sunflowers six
teen Inches lu diameter this year. It
iwell deserves the name of the Sunflower -
flower State.
Unusual rains have damaged the
buffalo grass on the ranges and pre
vented It from curing for winter feed
of the stock.
As a general rule It may be said that
any soil whereon grows the Bhellbark
hickory and the white oak Is good for
the apple orchard.
Wherever the winters are long nnd
old It is always safer to lay the rasp
berries and grapes down lu the fall and
cover them with earth.
The cold summer which matured the
Apple crop In the best shape possible
made It hard for the melon and corn
crops to pull through at all.
It takes a woman to have pity for a
hungry man who won't work , nnd be
cause women do this Is largely why we
have this breed of parasites with us.
Meats arc going to be cheaper before
long that Is , the common grades , such
as the common people cat. Fancy
beeves will continue to bring fancy
prices.
The west has n big fight on hand to
&eep down the prairie dog , whllo the
cast has almost as much trouble to
keep the dogs of civilization within de
cent limitations.
The prolific crops of the year are but
little affecting prices , nnd It goes with
cut saying that the farmers of tbu
country have nnother very prosperous
.year before them.
"When the cornfield hns to brave n
May frost , It will have little to fear
from n September freeze , nnd It is al
ways better for it to have the spring
frost than the fnll one.
The turkey crop is short , nnd the
cranberry crop Is short , and some of
us may have to celebrate Thanksgiv
ing nnd praise the Lord with roast
pork nnd npple snuce this year.
Chicago courts hnve ruled that where
a man buys a steak at a restaurant and
cannot ent the whole of It ho may car
ry the rest away with him If he wishes
to , thus robbing the restaurant proprle
tor of his soup stock.
There Is no way In which to mnke
money fnster on the farm today than
to grow hogs. The pigs are free from
disease nud selling , when fntted , at
prices which will return " 70 cents n
bushel for nil the corn fed them.
The buyer of fine stock now gets but
little aside from the name by buying in
Europe , for ns finely bred nuijnals us
there nre to be found nnywhero can be
secured In this country , and this , too , of
almost nny of the populnr breeds.
The winter whent fields of Oklaho
ma make the winter pastures for cat
tle kept in that country. It Is good for
the stock , which grows fat on such n
ration , nud good for the wheat , ns It
prevents too rank n growth of straw.
The water level , which It was once
claimed had gone down nearly n bun
dred feet during the dry years , Is once
more doing business nt the old stnml ,
as many a man who has had to have
his cellar drained this summer has
found out.
There has been a loss of Just about
83 per cent on nil oats thrashed out of
the shock this year Just In the matter
Of price , such oats selling for 10 or 12
cents per bushel less than they would
have done had the crop been stacked
as soon as cut
We have never known such n pro
lific second crop of clover nnd timothy
4ns the cool and wet Benson of 1002 hns
produced. Not only the clover hnd
headed out ns usual , but the timothy ns
; wcll , and in many places the second
crop Is ns good us the first one tnkcn
off In July last
The work of the "neater" or home
steader who Is locating on the hereto
fore monopolized range lands of the
, -\vest is doing much to break up the
cattle barons' Interests. If It were not
that the government stands back of the
homesteader , ho would never bo nl-
lowed to acquire any land rights In
those sections.
The bushel box In place of the barrel
holding two and n half bushels to com
ing much Into favor for the packing of
apples. It IH , ; lalmod that less of the
fruit Is bruised , It IH easier handled
and Is n more nccoptnble sized package
for the retailer to dispose of.
Michigan nlmont always comes to tlio
front with n crop of most luncloim
teaches , and thu present year Is no ex
ception. Those are nearly all produced
on Just n narrow strip adjoining Lnko
ittchlgnn , whuro climatic tfkl Is mwil
ed by the presence of the lake water.
Wo noticed the other day n small boy
lot over twelve years old driving four
ilg grade Pcrchenm horses on n gang
> lo\v and turning over the soil nt the
rnto of live acres a day. It gave the
Ittlo fellow about nil ho could do to
rnlso the plow by the lover when ho
came to the end of the field.
It Is now about time to think about
irotcctlng the strawberry bed. After
he ground Is frozen put on n covering
.wo Inches thick of slough hay or clean
straw , the object of such covering be
ing not to prevent the plants from
freezing , but to prevent them from
freezing and thawing during thu win
ter.
Wo nro naked whether n mnn can
make a business of trading horses , bo
straight and honest and still make
money. Wo have never come across
this pleasing combination. The honest
mnn who goes Into the horse trading
business soon , hns n lot of experience ,
and the other fellow has the horses
and money.
Now Inventions always beget new
risks. Men have for centuries hauled
out manure from the yard Into the
field , and wo never heard of an acci
dent , but here comes this newfangled
manure spreader , and lu some manner
the tcauiHter managed to get run
through It and was punched full of
tioles in less than two seconds.
As nn explanation of how eastern
dulrymen nre ublo to keep cows on a
high priced dnlry ration we note that
the dairymen of New Jersey have late
ly contracted their milk to the condens
ing factory at nn average price of $1.82
per 100 pounds , or 3 % cents per quart ,
equivalent to 37 cents per pound for
what butter fat the milk contains.
The coming farmer will know how to
judge stock nnd feed It , will under
stand all nbout a balanced ration and
the proper rotation of crops nnd know
enough of practical mechanics BO that
ho can handle tbo mnchlncry ho will
bo obliged to use lu his farm opera
tions , and the average boy should bo
given n stnrt nlong these lines ns part
of his education.
In the August crop reports on corn
of the department of agriculture the
state of Missouri made the best show
ing of nny of the states , 102 , closely
followed by Nebraska , with 101. As
the crop matured In both of thcso
states these figures will not be altered
much In the final roundup. The crop
was n failure in both of these states
last year owing to the drought.
In order to keep the corn of a large
area of the corn country this year It
will be absolutely necessary to put the
grnin in narrow well ventilated cribs.
The old cribs ten feet wide or even
eight should be split lengthwise by a
four Inch partition and nlr space. An
other thing , the soft cars should bo
separated ns far ns possible from the
sound ones nt the time of husking the
crop.
In the mntter of corn there Is a great
denl of Importance in properly adaptIng -
Ing varieties to cllumtc nnd latitude.
We lately saw samples of White Dent
corn raised In central Minnesota which
wns better matured than the same sort
of corn raised 400 miles fnrthcr south.
The northern grown corn was not so
largo as that grown south , but plenty
big enough to make It a very profitable
crop to raise.
Those handsomely labeled cans of
"potted chicken" which are In favor
for high toned society luncheons nud
picnic parties nro quite likely to be the
only evidence of n fnrrn tragedy where
a nice little dny old calf wns by the
hnnd of science , aided by fraud ,
chnngcd from n prospective bond of
the herd Into boiled rooster. Managed
Just right It would bo hard to detect
the fraud.
Most men do not llko to bother with
fnll pigs , but a friend of ours hnd forty
each pigs last fall , nnd , letting them
wiggle through the winter ns best they
could , he turned them on to clover nnd
rape last spring nnd fattened them dur
ing July nnd August , making them
weigh 2-15 pounds each by early Sep
tember , nnd sold them nt $7 per bun
dredwclght. lie made good money on
those pigs.
It Is Impossible to keep some men
down and equally Impossible to lift
some men up. When a fellow once gets
the corner grocery and dry goods box
habit and his wife takes In washing to
support the family , you have got a hard
proposition. It would be a good thing
If all such men could bo drafted into
tlio army , for they are of no use whqt-
over to cither their families or the com
munity at large.
Millet Is n crop which may bo raised
In the north country where corn vrll
not grow nnd mature. It Is almost a
sure crop and produces an abundance
of valuable seed. This seed has niosi
of the fattening properties of corn , nni
the stockmen of that country nre find
lug out that In millet they have n val
unble food to finish off their cattle ns
first class beef. It Is fed as a men
combined with barley or onto.

IS TlIHniD BUCII A 1'I.ACIST
We have nlwnys thought that If the
dcnl location for n homo could bo cho-
BOH In this country , It would bo some
valley farm or ranch in northern Cnll-
fornla or southern Oregon , where the
rainfall would bo ample to umturo
crops , where the winter would be n
eng drawn out , mild nnd beautiful
'all , where fruits and flowers of the rare
nnd tender sorts would find unham
pered development , where nature would
jo kind nnd reliable , not given to
cranky fits of storm , cyclone , lightning
nnd blizzard ; where the choice foods
of the sea would bo easily obtainable ,
with trout in the valley strenm , phons-
intH in the clearings of the foothills
nu4 n deer to bo hnd up on the moun
tains ; n place not too far from UK
mighty Pacific , where one could some
times gaze on the ocean's calm or it
fury ; not far from some ever snow
crowned mountain peak , taking fron
valley , mountain and ocean those Inspl
radons nlwnys denied to the dweller on
the level plain countries. But. then
may be no such Elysium , after all.
PROGRESS ON TUB FARM.
There is no progress being made In
nny line which is more noticeable thun
that being mndo In agriculture. Tlio
old slipshod , lilt und go miss , back
breaking type of farming Is rapidly
giving wny before the newer nnd bet
ter wny of doing things. There Is n
demand for scientific information on
soils , crops , breeding , feeding , in
awakening to the vnluo of the 1m
proved breeds of stock of nil kinds , n
rcmnrknblo Interest in the farm Insti
tute work nud n growing appreciation
of the fnct that agriculture offers as
wide n Held nnd ns rich returns for n
man with brains and education ns nny
of the HO called professions. Invention
hns robbed the farm of most of Its pltl
ful drudgery and made it possible to
do farm work with dispatch , economy
and pleasure.
AS TO D12EI' PLOWING.
The old Baying , "Plow deep whllo
sluggards sleep nnd you shall hnve
corn both to sell nnd to keep , " Is proved
by careful experiment to be only half
n truth. So much depends upon the
character of the subsoil , the season of
the year when the plowing Is done , the
crop to bo planted and the previous
working of the field. Dtep plowing litho
the spring on most soils Is n positive
damage instead of n benefit nnd nl
most ruinous if the crop consists of nny
of the cereals. If wo could start the
plow in the stubble field enrly In Au
gust , we would set It down ns deep ns
three horses could pull It nnd only
then. There Is more chance for the ex
erclso of good judgment in this mat
ter than most men think.
HARE MEAT SCARCE.
Wo have not noted uny recent sales
of Belgian hares of n rich rufous color
nnd of regul llncago nt $250 each
neither do we note that hare meat hns.
como into nny general use clthc
among the epicures or the commor
people ; in fnct , It would be very dlfil
cult to get nn order filled for rons
hare at nny rentaurnut In the country
The scheme to thus supply the pool
people with meat was n failure , nnd
this class will have to depend upot
salt pork , soup bones nnd liver ns here
tofore. Then we have nn Iden thnt ever
If hare meat had been made plentlfu
and cheap the poor , like the Israelites
of old , would have soon gngged 01
their rations , ns did the Hebrews on
their qunil nnd manna.
COMPENSATIONS.
To ent heartily nnd to sleep Bound
ly are two Important compensation
for Bomo of the dlnngreenblo fca-
turcs of fnrm life. 1'ou go to you
homo at ovcntlda after your day's work
