Some oi those who know about them in a gen eral way do not take the interest in them that they ought to. A third class believe that there is nothing that can be taught about agriculture wnicn is of any practical value to their boys and girl's, even though they expect to remain on the farm and make farming and farm homes their life's work, lo all these three classes of people we address these lines. What we are going to say. we say because we believe in agricultun.1 schools; we have no personal inter est in agricultural schools and col leges, except that we know rrom ex perience what they are and what they tach. There are many excellent agricul tural schools, and some that are not so good. We shail not reter to any m particular, but speak of what they teach in a general way Those that we are best acquainted with are those in the Northwest, some in the East and some in the South. They are all crowded, so much so that many ot them have to refuse admittance to quite a number each year, just be cause they have not facilities enouga to accommodate all. That fact shows that the schools are appreciated by a great many farmers already We are urging agricultural schools, not be cause those in existence need stu dents, but because we want to see more schools started. The more ap plications our present schools get the more schools must be erected. People often take things as matters of fact in this world. We have good common school systems in nearly all localities, we have good high schools, and the latter articulate with the former; this is all well and good. We would not urge less high schools, we need them all. They are well adapted to the needs of the city and town children, but not so well adapted to the farmers as a class. The object of schools should be to develop the child men tally and morally in such a way as to fit him better for life's work, if schools do not tit our children to bet- ter zranple with the practical prob lems of life, they, to say the least. are partially a failure. How often we see men so elated over partial success that they get dis- headed and think that their wits and und Judgment will carry them through and that they no longer need to look after the detail work on the - " "' "Jl - hat SJir duties.

The advantage of a mule over a horse is. he can be taught to turn shorter, thus preventing the breaking down of vegetables or other plants. says an exchange. He can go in rougher places, is not affected by heat as badly as the horse and requires less attention in the way of currying, rubbing, etc. His feet being smaller. he can walk closer to the row of grow ing plants. To make a good mule worth from S50 to $S0 at weaning time, or $140 to $160 as a two-year-old. he should be foaled from a large mare in April or May He should ran with the dam until October 1. 'hn be weaned. At this time he should be at least 52 inches. Put him in a shed with plenty of light and feed oats, with clover and timothy hay Too much corn fevers the legs and produces scratches. The next summer he should have access to pasture, with a little corn each day antil cold weather, when he should be hrnnzht back to the barn. At two to two and one-half years old he should be 1-5 hands high, fat and ready for market. When feeuing, care should be giv en to keep the system cool with green stuff, and keep out scratches. The fol lowing is a good cure: Take equal parts of bluestone, white vitriol and verdigris, grind together with equal parts of soapstone. mix with warm wa ted until about as thin as paste, ap ply with a swab on the end of a stick about three times a week. Mule colts are no more troublesome than horse colts. The colts run with taeir mothers, but a separate pasture is required for two-year-old mules. Some farmers were born in a period ot procrastination. nu u u.e ue- come no better in its practice. One of the mistakes we often make is by being a little late for most things. All things must come to them that wait. hut there is often a great deal of loss in waiting. Keep in front of the pro cession if you have to run over the fellow that is in front of you. PROFIT OF THE DAIRY COW. Very few farmers realize the income that can be had from a good cow. The farmer who keeps a cow a year to raise a fifteen or twenty-dollar calf usually thinks he has done as well as any one, but his profits do not com-tu-d -xirh rhrwe at The dairvman. Ex- nanr -with hieh-nriced registered cat- tie. as a rule, the milk, not the calf, is the most valuable product of the cow. The milk produced by the average Missouri cow will sell for about thirty dollars at the creamery or when made - flrst-class: butter A good cow of rj dairy breeds will make at least fifty dollars cash income every year. aare a list of about fifty Missouri farmers who report a cash income of from fifty to one hundred dollars per flCTrpn . , . - l - -- not include the income from the sale of calves and pigs fed on the skim milk. But. says one, milking is a tre mendous task. As a matter of fact, it takes only sixty hours' time, worth aksstt six dollars, to milk a cow ten BKratas. Prof. Eckels. Missouri State try. WCHAIH) ak THE FALL MULCH. While the spring and summer mulch in the orchard is of great value, and is attended to by our best orchardists. still a fall mulch of trees, shrubs and bulbous plants should be done earlier in the fall than is often the case. Just as soon as the trees have shed their leaves and the hardy and semi hardy herbaceous plants have died down is the time to winter mulch them, before all of the moisture has IefT the ground. One of the best times to apply this mulch is just after a rain, when the ground is well filled with moisture. The object of doing it at this time is that th plant will re ceive the benefit of the rains and scarcely any moisture would be evap orated by the drying winds that come in the fall. All of the moisture, eith er from the rain or the snow falling on the mulch would penetrate through and benedt the tree plant or shrub. There is one exception in the mat ter of mulching plants, however, and that is in mulching strawberries. These plants should not be mulched until the ground is frozen, as straw berries grow late into the autumn. One of the best winter mulches that we have to-day in our orchards are the cover crops. It is not too late now to start in some sections of our state, cover crops in the orchard, which will serve as a mulch through the winter Winter rye can be sown now and under ordinary conditions will make a large enough growth by the time winter sets in to serve as a mulch. Especially is this practice im portant in young, growinir orchards. Many sections of the country have suffered very much from excessive rainfall during the past season. In many localities the loss would have been much less had due attention been given to drainins low places. The fail is a good time to do this work. Where those who own land are not prepared to make under-drains. a great deal can be accomplished by opening surface drains with the spad. the ordinary scraper or the road scraper, as circumstances may neces sitate. BERRIES FOR MARKET. "Having been asked by a fanner subscriber if it will pay to grow ber ries for market, in reply I will say yes" if the business is managed risbt and the crop disposed of in the right way and place. A good many of our towns are not properly supplied with berries; what they get. if any. are second class the overflow or ref use from the citites. where the market is often glutted. The commission men send circulars out before the ber ries are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped from the South, inducing many home growers to ship. By the time their berries get ripe the demand is supplied, prices drop, and the ber ries being a perishable product nave to be sold for what they will bring. My advice is to grow berries for lo cal market towns that are not well supplied. Such places can be found in the west: land can be ousht for less than half that close to large cities. pickers are cheap, and. as a rale, more reliable. Berries that get too ripe on account of rain, and which will not do to ship, can be sold in the home mark-t all the roush handling of the railroad men. shipping expenses, com missions, etc.. are saved, also crates and boxes. Then when consumers get fresh, wholesome, home-grown berries they often buy twice as many, and the growers in the market can regulate the price. If Russia had a republican instead of a despotic form of government, the tory of the wonderful development of the United States would be repeated in the new Siberian territory recently opened by the Siberian railway. The climate, soil, rainfall, navigable river3. timber, grasses and mineral wealth cover an area equal to that of the United States, but the blight of des potism and ignorance broods over it all. UNREASONABLE. Some men need either a brake, a governor or an anchor tied to them when they get to talking or writing about any generally untried machine. Writing to his paper about manure spreaders, an Iowa farmer says that one man with a cood team and spread er can haul as much manure in a day and do it easier than can three or four men. each with common wagons out of which they have to spread the manure "the old way." We regard this as being about the wildest state meat that has been made in a long while. Le us see. A man has to load by hand into a manure spreader the same as into a wagon box. and as it takes longer to throw a load out of a wagon box than it does to put it in. usually driving to field, and back in cluded, if it took absolutely no time at all to unload with the spreader, driving and al! included, a man could not lead and haul any more than two men can "the old way." How about his do in z the work of three or four? We have great admiration for the farm wife who can cut wood, slop the hogs, milk the cows, carry the water, harness the horses and do the churning in case of emergency, such as sickness or unavoidable absence of the farmer. But the husband who will permit his wife to habitually do such menial labor while he toasts his shins at the corner grocery is only a semblance of a man and is beneatn the contempt of his fellows. CONSERVED MOISTURE. Every man locating in a country where the average rainfall does not exceed fifteen inches should make a study of what is known as the Camp bell system of cultivating the land. This is a method of so preparing and handling the soil that the moisture is conserved and retained in the soil for the development of the crop. Most re markable results have been obtained by the use of this method in Kansas and Nebraska, and as it is purely a question of the mechanical manipula tion of the soil, it may be practiced by any farmer. GAPDEN THE LAND'S SHARE. The farmer should realize that he is in partnership with his land. It is true that the fields are silent and long suffering and do not intrude their rights in a loud voice, but when the balances are to be struck the farmer who has been so unwise as to have ignored the rights of his acres finds ' that while they have borne their heavy burden patiently and without com plaining, they have asserted their rights at last. The careless farmer may see the results without under standing or even seeking for causes i hero is a perceptible diminution o crops; failures in full crops become more and more frequent; washings on the hillsides and in places where water never used to run" are more manifest; insect pests multiply; tht land has "lost heart" yes. and for that matter, soul as well. The land is out . of sorts it has been imposed upon; it has been robbed of its birthright, and it is retaliating. There has been too much taken off and nothing put back. The same crop has been grown year after year, with the smallest possible amount of cultural prepara tion of the ground. The "soil" may be is "deep" as ever, it may look black and rich, but part of its glory has de parted: it demands restoration of all the wastes of the crops that have been grown upon it. The straw from the grains, the wastes from animals fed. the winter protection of the soil, its careful cultivation are all the shara of the land; these are its dues that any just farmer should allow. The generous farmer will give it the larg est of leguminous catch crops in addi-, tion. i "Convince the farmer that the cheapest method of securing nitrogen is by growing legumes. In many cases clover is the most satisfactory. Seeding an acre of clover will cost not to exceed 1. and this will result in the adding of 100 pounds of nitro gen to the acre. This nitrogen has a commercial value of 15 cents pei pound. Show the farmer that he is getting a fortune by the very act oi the labor of putting it in the soil. The fact that a fanner can sow clover seed in his oats for II an acre, sometimes 75 cents, and occasionally only 50 cents, ought to convince any one fa miliar with agricultural conditions that it is a profitable practice. It is difficult to get farmers to do this, but they are becoming educated and be fore long will see the value of such practice. Clover seed can also be sowed in corn when it is laid by at about the same cost. The clover seed can be put in with a five-hoe drill. This is a substitute for the last cul tivation. It takes the place of the cul tivator and costs nothing but the seed and will usually produce from 75 to 100 pounds of nitrogen." THREE APPLE TREE BORERS. A correspondent writes that some kind of a borer is working on his or chard, and asks what to do to destroy it. I have just been out looking over my own orchard and find that the borers are doing some damage. My remedy is to use a sharp knife and a Iender wire; cutting the borers out low down and banking up with earth, using the wire to follow their burrow ings. According to Prof. Chittenden, the three larger apple tree borers are: 1 The round-headed borer. Saperda Candida. 2 The spotted borer, Sa perda cretata. 3 The flat-headed bor er. Chrysobothris femorata. The methods of controlling the round-headed apple tree borer are to practice clean culture, cut the larvae out of the tree, kill them by applying kerosene wherever their castings are seen protruding through the bark, or prevent their entrance by means of impenetrable substances, such as pa per and hydraulic cement, or by re pellant washes made from fish oil or soft soap, with the addition of caustic potash or washing soda carbolated with carbolic acid. The remedies are the same for the spotted and flat-headed apple tree borers as for the round-headed borers, except that for the flat-headed borei the coverings and washes should be applied farther up the tree trunk and branches, and that trap-wood may be used It is suggested that limbs anu trunks of newly felled trees which th borers attack, such as oak. maple and ycuns fruit trees, be distributed on the outskirts of the orchard, where they should be freely exposed to the sun. so that the beetles will deposit their eggs on them. This trap-wood 3houid then be destroyed before the beetles emerge the following spring. I have often wondered where all the flies came from. They are here and they are pronounced a common nui sance. An entomologist tells us that the horse manure which accumulates about the stable is the breeding grounds for them, and that an indus trious fly will lay two hundred eggs in less than a cubic Inch of horse manure. As it takes about one-third of a day for them to hatch, it is plain to be seen where they come from. MAKE THE FARM ATTRACTIVE. It is all very well to talk about the nobility of agriculture and the joys and freedom of farm life, but tie thing that drives boys and girls away from the farm is the very lack of the nobility and of joy on the average farm. No boy nor girl, either, is go ing to admit that farm life is fall of pleasures and attractions so long as the farm home is simply a roof to cover their heads. It is too often the case that the entire family on a farm spend the indoor portion of their lives in the kitchen except during the hours . of sleep. Too often the only reading room in the farmhouse is the kitchen, heated only by the cook stove and i lighted by one small lamp. Too often I there is little or no reading matter beyond a weekly paper aad the al manac. Tnese tmngs may oe excusa ble in case of a young married couple who have taeir way to make from the very start, bat any farmer who has lived to raise a family of children un til they are half grown is a failure if he does not provide better home at r-acuons.

A Crop of 60.CC0.0C0 Bushels of Wheat Will Ee the neccrd of ISC-i. The results ot" the threshing in Western Canada are not yet complet ed, but from information at hand, it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at GO.ut'tj.oOO bushels. At pres ent prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly Sdtf.GOO.OOO Then thinK of the immense yield of oats and barley, and the large herds of cattle, for all of which good prices will be paid. The following official telegram was sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton. Min ister of the Interior, to Lord Strath cona. High Commissioner for Can ada: "Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual diffi culty in Northwest a fair average crap of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from sub stantial damage. The reports of in jury by frost and rust were srossly exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will assre gate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. The quality is good and the price is ranging around one dollar per bushel." Frank K. Spearman, in the Satur day Evening Post, says: "When our first transcontinental railroad was built. learned men at tempted by isotherman demonstration to prove that wheat could not profit ably be grown north of where the line was projected; but the real granarv of the world lies up to 300 miles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day is not definitely distant when the United States w'll knock at the doors of Canada for its bread. Rail road men see such a day: it may be hoped that statesmen also will see it. and arrange their reciprocities while they may da so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree have taken the American wheat field with them. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the St. Paul road Eureka held the distinction of being the largest primary grain market in the world, the Dakctas and Minnesota will one day yield their palm to Sas katchewan" It is possible to get a Turkish bath for 5 cents in New York.
