AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
We are aware of the fact that a
srreat many or our reauers ruu ""l
little about the value of our agricul
tural schools and colleges. 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. Better for this class that their

RAISING MULES.
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.

farmers who report a cash income of

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.

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

he does not provide better home at

Every housekeeper snould know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 cz. one full
pound while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in-' -i -pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
i stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts In Defiance
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "15 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

One Letter Makes DifTernece.
There is one letter in the marriage
ceremony the substituting of which
i by another would induce thousands to '
i mnrry who are now single, and would
' give a license for unfaithfulness to
thousands who are married. Which
is the letter? The letter "V." If you
could substitute the letter "K" you
alter "So long as ye both shall live."
' Into "So long as ye both shall like."
You never hear any one complain

during the herring season each bird j
destrayed 200 fry a day. or 12.000 dur
ing the two months of the season.
These, if they had come to maturity,
would have been worth 24.000,000

Defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
