Four Generations of One Family Work Together in Field That health and life are found on the earth has been known. Life in the open air with sound shop and whole some food means health, and a busy body means a contented mind and little wear and tear on nerves. The accompanying picture shows four generations of one family at work 一 FOUR GENERATIONS AT WORK in a fellow city is still from All are still and hope It is sad on indoor that four generations will be found together in a cultural occupation in a city Country School Spools Good Farmers. Vocational training is collecting as never before the interest and effort of business men and educators in several western states. For two years certain bankers in Minnesota have promoted it very actively, their commercial interest in farm properties and people leading them to do so. They have found that of 15,000 school children, educated at a cost of $14,000,000 in nearly fewer than 1,500 attend agricultural schools. In a state which has only one school of the tillable land within its 5,000 square miles under cultivation over 90 per cent of the children are being trained to be consumers and only four tenths of 1 per cent to be producers. The present school system, even in the country, was thus found to be educating chil- dron away from the farms, "spoiling good farmers and not making good city men." The bankers offered prizes for the best answer to the question Why am I going to leave the factory? The boy who won first prize had stress on the fact that most of the schoolmasters are town girls or girls from town schools and don't like country life. Their attitude helps to sow dissatisfaction among the pupils."—Survey. There are in essential elements of plant food. I live of these are provided by nature in themselves—carbon and oxygen sourced by the growing plant directly from the air hydrogen from water absorbed by the earth iron and sulphur supplied by the soil. The remaining five elements are nitrogen the photosynthetic, magnesium and oil into the supply and absorption of the five elements into the formation of permeable in a building or a stable in a humid situation. Nitrogen exists in the air in also not exhaust the amount, and for photosynthesis in it seamed from the air most economically by the growing of humming birds. If these are plowed under nitrogen is not used and added thougth or matter supplied which is of deion in the soil helps to hold nitrate or no the other form important com It is a diary of that man in who has to try to get for money after she has left. I to make it to have to ask for it over when it is given within it is a disgraceful thing. I do not hear the story of the committee of women who pleaded that we should out date $1 each to a worthy cause. The air was to be caused by local work. The night of the day some fury stories were told about how the money had been earned. How old you earn your dollar or the harman school a handsome woman. "I got it from my husband." was the reply. "There was no hard work about that." Some one said. The woman studied and answered. "You don't know my husband."

DRAIN GRADE MUST BE EVEN. Brightest Inequality Causes Silt Deposits and Cleans the Current A matter of prime importance in having the for drainage of wet land is that of getting an even grade or fall to the ditch, says Professor M. Sherwin in the Progressive Farmer and Gazette. If the tile in the bottom forms a waving line or change from a given grade to a grade less steep, there may always be expected an accumulation of silt due to the less rapid flow of water within the tile which will drain. Silt basins may be put in to admit of forming out this material at intervals, but just as for as possible the deposit of it should be prevented by getting an even grade so that there is no tendency for accumulation. This even trade may be obtained by the use of a very simple piece of apparatus which any farmer can easily make in use. I take a piece of 1 by 6 inch pine board. A sixteen foot long. Paste firmly to the ends of this two piece. B B cut to the two ends and them used to have the middle of the piece. The font at the most likely to be hanging the ends of the piece be cut starting at that point against each other, being held by a small stipulated narrow on either side. A fourth strip. It should be firsted as indicated to be two inches in height. A fifth strip will now be hanging from a hook at the joint. A place of the iron or output wire so that it will hang within six inches on the ground. Now get the place A level this is import into and mark the place on D where the wire hangs. Block one end of A up from the floor one half inch by putting under it a piece of wood of this thickness and mark again on D where the wire hangs. It will not hang where it did before, but nearer the lower end. Take the block out and place under the other end again marking on D where it hangs. Repeat this operation with a block one and one half in two thick and with Blocks A B C D two, two and one half and three inches thick. Be sure to measure the thickness of each block. When the plumb bar large across the first mark made on it we have the board vertically level. When the lob swings one, two or three spaces other way we have a grade of one half inch, one inch or one and one half inches respectively in sixteen feet. By placing this in the bottom of the ditch we can tell how much the grade is at any place, and by moving it we can tell whether or not our grade is und form all the way. If not uniform we can make it so by scraping all the higher planes. It is necessary that the bottom of the board A be a straight end. The scale is marked on the board D so that it will not be liable to become covered with dirt as if placed on the board A. A plumb job gives a greater accuracy than a carpenter's level or other level placed on one of the boards and is also adapted for more varied use. This piece of apparatus is as accurate, when carefully made, as any survey of the level and can be used to advance to either with or without a surveyor's level for getting the desired grade in depth. Its special use is for de-terminating when the grade is uniform. It costs little and is a solvable use. No one can fail to understand its use. FITTING HORSES FOR SHOWS. One of the open secrets of feeding horses for shows and fairs is to give them plenty of fresh milk, regardless of the age of the animal The Hum of the Hive. Give your best plenty of good food for winter Leave no honey or loose comb open around the apiary under any circumstances. The bee when out foraging never leaves on the intensive—always on the defensive. Beesway is always in good den and, and the who beekeepers save every scrap of it. Two drones cost as much to raise as three workers, and after they are ridden they look at eating what the workers later for you. Never a man has been so fortunate to have two thirds of the comb honey capped over other bees, but rape of it will not be forgiven. A spike hoe will not lift a big stone to a tree, but many bees will be found this and yet now a good house can be less water and more extracted honey to the love than comb honey. Yet the higher price that comb honey will bring to us the income derived from either live about the same. KANSAS CITY, Mo. - June, 1911.

Three Licensed Embalmers in Attendance. Story of a Russian Wife's Love and Devotion. In the Ural mountains, between Russia and Siberia, is the largest man factory of sheet iron in the world. It is owned and operated by the Russian government, and its workman live and die within the limits of the factory. Once entered on the tolls of the company an operative has hidden goodbye forever to the outside world Dmitrii Nikovitch, a young Russian, having been out of employment for a long while, saw his wife and children starving before him. "There is but one chance for our lives," he said to his wife. "I must go to the iron works. There I shall receive regular wages, which I can send to you." In vain his wife protested. They might die together rather than that the husband and father should be dead to them forever. No, he said. The winter was at hand and if they escaped starvation they would surely die by cold. Kissing his little ones, who were too young to understand what he was about to do, and leaving his swoooning wife and them, he went to the ironworks and entered himself as a works man. Four years passed. The wife and children of Nikamwich knew that he was still alive, for they received his wages regularly. He knew that they or some of them lived, for the money was not returned to him. One day a new workman was entered at the factory. He was a young, delicate looking fellow and was given the highest work that was to be done. One morning this workman, who was entered under the name of Nicholas Attemwich, was strolling beside Dudley Nikamwich, both waiting to handle some sheet iron that had just been rolled, when Nicholas who patted "He at the west wall tonight at 9 o'clock, midway between the fifth and sixth sentry towers." Nikovich, astonished, stilled at the speaker. Nevertheless he held the presence of mind to hold his peace. That night Nikovich walked, as was permitted, from 8 to 9 o'clock between the factories buildings and the wall, and when the bell rang at 9 and the other workmen had disappeared he saw Attenvich beckoning him in a dark corner formed by the contiguous buildings. In the base stones of the buildings touched, having a cross behind them. Attenvich's head and shoulders only could be seen. Nikovich cast a hasty glance around, and making sure that no one saw him, he sping over the stones into the cross. "Untitled I am Your wife." The thought that his wife had entered this place to be with him and that she had left their children killed him with alternate dishes of joy and sorrow. For a moment husband and wife were locked in each other's arms. Then alarm spoke rapidly. "You had so nicely left us when my Aunt Mattha died and left me 20,000 rubles. The first year I spent getting possession of the money and the remaining three in planning and preparing for your escape. Two years ago I began to dig a tunnel from the silver bank to a point near the spot where we stand. It was completed before I entered this place, and since I have been here I have come to this corner at night and dug till I struck it, carrying the earth away in my pockets and keeping the entrance in this corner, where no one ever comes, concealed. I have sent our children beyond the borders. If we escape we may join them and find a home in America." With that she drew from under her woolen shirt a case knife and began to dig. In a few minutes she had uncovered a square piece of wood and, lifting it, entered a perpendicular tunnel not much larger than her body. From this tan another, dipping slightly from the horizontal, Anna, followed by her husband, made her way through this horizontal tunnel. It was cramped at first, but grew larger as they advanced. The outlet was on the river bank a few feet above the water and covered with logs and brush. Just be fore emerging they passed through a space sufficiently large to contain a rowboat, in which there were a pair of oars. "Those rowlocks," said Anna, "have been mushed for nearly a year, and the cloths are quite rotten still, they will serve to get us past the river guards without the noise of rowling." "How did you get this bout in here?" asked Dualit! "I watched six months for the water to be sufficiently high to float it in." "Did ever man have a wife so patient and devoted?" said her husband, am brucing her "Come, let us be off." Launching the boat, they floated down with the current, at times pulling with the oars, at times holding water to escape observation, at times shooting on rapidly. On the one hand was the factory, the officials of which with all their vigilance had not been able to keep apart these levels, and on the other that distant border beyond which were the little ones they loved as they loved each other. Thus they passed the night and when dry dawned landed and in a person's cottage changed their attire and their appearance, then started for the border. Two days later they suddenly appeared before their children. What words could give even a faint idea of this blessed regnum? North Texan Farmer Finds That It Also Speedily Pays For itself. I can tell you seven reasons in seven seconds why the automobile is an absolute necessity to the farmer, says a contributor from North Texas in the Farm and Itanch. Here they are all neatly lotted down for your perusal: First - My automobile put me on the scene at critical times when an hour meant profit or loss. Second - My automobile is a great factor in establishing good will and co-operation between my renters and me. Third - It has made possible the development on my farm of a social center, from which it has resulted that I have secured my pick of farm renters for my land. It has enabled me to go in for sci- entific agriculture, long sighted methods and prizes which will mean a still higher reputation for my name. Fourth - I lay and night arrange and the delivery of products on schedule time have resulted from the possession of a machine. Fifth - My family, my renters and I now enjoy the advantages of both city and country life, with very few disadvantages of either. Sixth - My automobile has brought about great improvement in our roads, which is an asset to our whole community. Seventh - It enables us to care for our sick and woundl safety and promptly with surgeons and physicians when the emergency demands. Before I bought my automobile no body loved a house better than I did Since without inclusion I had been MISSAY this county, but state A cultural one. I kind and button by favourite houses had gone through tunnels and disgussed situations with body armor. I was quite sure that nothing could block my attachment if a good drawing house. When it came to the automobile I did not have much faith in my expertiment. I had made up my mind that it was able to break down at any time, that all my neighbors would be set against me because their houses would be attacked the moment they broke, that into gether the outcome could scarcely be pleasent. Here's my experience. The automobile never complains nor falls to resent, except when abused by rockless driving over rough places, while it delights in going at high speed where the roads are good. Many farmers suppose that the automobile is for the wealthy man, when it is really the friend of the poor in much cheaper than horses and good vehicles if manned with the same care. I believe that it is a valuable investment, just as is the plow or mower. Let me illustrate how auto owning works. One day I was in Sherman when a phone message came that something had gone wrong with the cattle and no one knew what to do. It was up to me to be on the ground immediately. With a horse this would have required at least an hour, and I probably would have had to hire a rig in the city and pay $5 for it. Instead of that I answered "Coming," clapped the receiver up, ran out, cranked the machine, jumped in and well within half an hour was working with the cattle. That one instance was worth a great many dollars, and I could cite twenty like it of quick trips about the farm. That is one reason why I pay that in three months last winter my machine earned enough to pay for itself in ways not expected by me when I bought it. The average landlord sets down his renters in their little shacks on this and that hilltop, sees them once a month and allows a spirit of misum understanding, easy, distrust and big morant farming to "take" his farm. Although I use the greatest care in choosing my renters, this would have been my fate but for my automobile Grooming the horse every day not only cleans the skin, but prevents parasitic diseases as well. The modern horse is an artificial product living under artificial conditions in order to do his best he needs the care of man. The more corn the more stock, the more stock the larger the land the richer the land the more corn, and there you have the secret of a rotation that is sure to bring success. Dollar a bushel or word?

But when it comes to putting life into a team and keeping it on edge, Hughes has no equal. There is no more hard working manager than Jennings.

As the emitter to be the folding sticks together and also to hang the clothes upon, they must be the length of the arm to reach. The trainer of assembling is called in the illustration, which shows the arm partly opened. It is simply drawing out horizontally it can be extended to hold the entire wash and when not in use can be pushed back against the wall entirely out of the way. How to Reel Rice. When properly bound rice should be knows white, perfectly dry and smooth and every grain separate and distinct. To attain this end put a quart of water on the fire and let it boil well, with a teaspoonful of salt. Wash a cupful of rice well in cold water. When the water continues to boil well add the rice. stir occasionally and gently with a wooden spoon. The taking water will lose the grains of rice and prevent them from slipping together. As seen as the grains continue to soften do not under any circumstances stir or touch the rice again. Let it continue to boil rapidly for about twenty minutes or until the grains begin to swell out and it appears to boil. This is easily ascertained to two-large one of the grains with your finger. When it has reached this stage take the cover off and pour off the water and set the pot in the oven so that the rice may swell up. Let it stand in the oven about ten minutes. Do not set it brown, but simply dry that is, of the water which has drained out of the rice. Take it off and set it on a few minutes. Then pour out into a dish. Every grain will be white and beautiful and stand up. Because the drying in the oven would be superior to the mature, leaving the rice soft, slowly white and perfectly dry.

Pitton, secretary of the Safety of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States, was taken in Baltimore upon the day of the fight of time. "Nothing so makes the flight of time," said Captain Pitton, "as the sight of a thunder and white hailstorm and white bloodsliver in the day parallels. He complained "But I look so bent and weak I looked ever so much better in that other one you took of me at my daughter's marriage." The photographer smiled a little sadly and repaid "Ah, sir I haven't got the artistic taste I had when I was young. Besides, my camera is getting old." New Head of the Grand Army. Judge Hirsey M.

A 147 Day Test Shows Loss of 1,970 Pounds In 500 Bushels. To those engaged in the handling of grain the natural shrinkage of shelled corn while in storage and in transit is a matter of prime importance and often a source of dispute because of shortage reported at time of receipt at warehouse and a further loss at date of final sale. In order to determine the amount of shrinkage or loss of weight occurring in sheared corn containing various per centages of moisture which in storage in elevators or during transit in cars the department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore chamber of commerce, has conducted an experiment with 500 bushels of sheared corn, the test beginning Jan. 1914, and testing 117 days The corn used was taken from regu lar car recouple and was left in the wooden hopper of a 30000 pound scale at Levant RI of the Baltimore and Old system at Least Point, Baltimore. At the time of storage the moisture content was 155 per cent and at the time of the test 117 per cent, or a loss of 11 per cent. The weight per bushel had decreased from 747 pounds to 70 pounds, and the total loss of weight was 1070 pounds, or slightly more than 7 per cent. ALWAYS USE PIECE GATE. Little More Trouble to Make, but It's Handy and It Lasts Mr C. A. Thomas in the Homestead gives an idea for an up to date two piece gate that should be carefully stitched by one entombing farmer. It is made white on both to allow a few nicks to pass through. The small section of the gate makes the handling easier when a person wishes to pass through, but less seening the strut that would come on the gate were it made in one section. The larger section of the gate shuts against a short post, which is set in the ground and swolled in such a manner as to leave a back for the gate to shut against, as illustrated. The short 2 by 1 is held in place by strap from clips and holds the gate tight. In doing chores, when passing through it, the 2 by 1 is slipped back on the bar gate and the hook used to keep the gate closed. WAY TO GET RICH QUICK. A farmer bought a sow and eight pigs over a year ago for $40. He wintered her mainly on alfalfa, and last spring she produced eleven pigs. He sold the pigs, two litters, when fat for $144.40, which wasn't all profit, of course. The sow after a summer on alfalfa and blue grass has twelve pigs now. Next! Let Children Make Money.

Nine times out of ten "slobbering" is used by touch or sharp edges of the tooth irritating the sides of the mouth. Many horses after reaching fifteen years are bitten by their teeth. As English remedy to prevent horses from growing tangles and lost troughs it is to give the wood a coat of car, put on with a oil-brown white lot. It is claimed that this is a sure cure for the moving and stiff tire habit. Beware and always should be taught to milk the cows so secure the roads and horns it is not a bad handle to children to treat them ignorant of such necessary work around the house.

Mr. Widener's Cantle Little Lady Isabel Has Many Blue Bubbons Little Lady label, whose picture is shown here is one of the most beautiful and best producing Jerseys on this side of the water, and she is the pride of her owner, P A B Widener, at his show farm Lakin Park. She has won enough blue ribbons to decorate her stall all round her top railing, and the trimmer whose money could take her away from the Widener stables has not yet come into public prominence. She is as gentle as she is pretty, and her butter average is more than fifteen pounds per week. The Jersey cow is a highly specialized product of centuries of breeding for the primary purpose of the economical production of butter, says the Breeder's Gazette. The intelligent breeder will hope to produce butter-making function by reproducing this form. There is a fascination in watching a lot of beautiful, favorite Jersey heifers as they are developing into cows, especially if their breeding is such as to give promise of unusual excellence. There is enough of chance in it to satisfy in some degree the gimbling spirit that we nodils are cursed with. The science (or bittern) of browning has such a claim for the miracle that many formulas of browning have been experimented with to the detriment of some families of Jersey. To no cure, a few remarkable freshs have resulted, but these are of questionable value, since they never reproduce themselves. The phenomenon results of mating the N. I amubert herd with Stoke Poggs III have been the inspiration that has resulted in browning. "There is a place for a dog on the same farm with a Jersey cow. Decide which you prefer to keep and then either halt the dog or sell the cow. I once sold two fresh hens to a friend at a modest price," says H. Chapman. "They were gentle pets kind to milk and giving eleven pounds of her (2) P. A. B. WIDENFUR'S PER COW or each per week. My friend take them home and turned them into woods pasture. At milking time the dog black dog was sent to the woods to drive up the heifers. When the heifers saw that dog coming at them they went up all right as high as they could go without climbing the trees. They did climb the fence. The dog wore a good dog and kept on it lim- ing with his instincts, chasing the fright- ned heifers, alluding the two to mother, my friend and the dog, got the goor little cow into a fence corner, where my friend misused them, the big black dog watching the white to keep the heifers in that quiet poorest en- tion of mind so impatiently neces- sary to a normal flow of milk. "A few weeks under this system and the berries were nearly dry, when my friend wished me to take them back, which did. The next year they made provided churn tests of over fourteen and a half pounds of butter each in seven days and at two years old the two were sold to satisfied purchasers for $100." General Farm Notes. No man who thinks anything of a live will ever make a hitching post of it. There is a little mint of money saved in buying food in the fall of the year and holding of till spring next comes. One of the best things a farmer can save is a good raveller for mending mother straps of all kinds. One of these will save a good many trips to own and maybe more than one run way. Keep a blank book and let down the statistics you make this year as things to be avoided next year. It is easy to remember what you made money on it makes a pretty smart man to be his own manager. A good many farmers are getting as they would only sell their produce in the fall right from the field and not have to bring with storing them and running the cost of law prices next spring. The shrinkage, too, is a big fear to be ignored on. To get the best results from the agricultural paper it should be read and discussed by every member of the family. A discussion upon subjects relating to the farm and the home will interest the younger members of the family and give incentive for more thoughtful reading. ALFALFA IS FORAGE KING. Grows Anywhere. Needs Only Intelli- gent Care and Brings Big Prices. Here are some points on alfalfa in dicing principally its value to every farmer east west, north or south. Mr John Waechter of Wisconsin in an interesting letter to Howard Dalrym in says in part. "Ninety years ago many farmers in the vicinity of Munro claimed it would not grow on their land. Several farmers started with a small patch and soon found it to be a good food. Year by year they continued growing it in larger fields. Last year they raised such an amount that by heating in the mow it caught fire and destroyed lots of food and many buildings. But that can still be overcome. If alfalfa is properly cared there is no more danger in itself heating than in timothy hay. "A recent article in a farm paper tells how a farm proprietor in Texas saved five acres of affliction and soon discovered its value six years later VT PLOWING FOR ALFALFA Sown on 1,300 acres of alfalfa. By all feeding his stock, in shipping hay and making a net profit of $1,000." J T. Anthony of Maryland says in the Amel in Agriculture "Some on young age make a start with alfalfa, and after a season of failures and so on, carrying more than half this period, the light begins to break. In short, you have to learn how to grow alfalfa just as you must learn how to grow fruits or vegetables of the most quality. "Select a well trained piece of humal, not necessarily a knoll, but a piece of humal that is not a knoll." f. I and hence I for these be supplied and the land cut off to some hool crop so as to tomote, potthes or corn "It is a rank feeder, an evidence by its demand on root system, and as all plants take their food in solution both food and moisture must be present to sustain the young plant." Hays the Orange Bull Farmer "There is no longer a position but that affliction can be grown anywhere. The only requirement is that the soil be free from sulphur moisture. No other words. It must be well drained. This being accomplished a city sub soil or even a hard pump is no barrier. Affliction roots have been known to grow through twenty feet of hard clay. "It is a very profitable crop. When sold for buy a good crop will bring ```markdown ``` ALFALFA'S WONDERFUL ROOT [By courtesy Long Island Agronomist] from $15 to $5 per acre. When used for stock fruit it will often return $5 to $10. When grown for stock very frequently $5 has been secured. * but in considering alfalfa the return from the crop is not the only consideration. It adds greatly to the richness of the soil. It takes nitrogen from the air and stores it up in large quantities for future crops. It is a premium food and promised to solve the cheap food problems on the high priced lands of the middle west. Farmers in this locality must have cheap food if they are to raise livestock at a profit. They must have livestock if they are to keep up the fertility of their land. Corn and alfalfa, the corn being made into allage with the addition of a little grain, will make milk, produce growth in young and mature will fettion at all age will and gain horizons will assist in making pork choppies and will produce eggs without number. It is also the best of myrtle makers. In fact, the words of some conundition can be considered extravagant. "The plant is a marvel, and of this there can be no doubt." SNAPSHOTS AT NOTABLES Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada. PETER H. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada since 1901, stakes his political future on the result of the republican campaign. In the course of a recent speech Sir Wilfrid announced that if defeated in his fight for majority in the elections he would be at once and forever from public life and would not lead the opposition in the next parliament. "Rest to me is very sweet," said the premier, "and if defeated not a word of repose will pass my list." Premier Laurier is a native of Quebec, will be seventy years old next November and is the first French Canadian to hold the post of premier of Canada. He is a lawyer by profession and emited politica as a member of parliament in 1871. He was minister of internal revenue in 1877 and in 1891 he became leader of the Liberal party. The Flight of Time. Captain William L. Hitter, secretary of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States, was talk lag in Baltimore upon Memorial day of the night of time. "Nothing so works the flight of time," said Captain Hitter, "as the sight of a throuser white hirred and what boarded veterans in a Memorial day." "I knew a brave old veteran who had his photograph taken in California last Memorial day. On seeing the proof he complained. "But I look so bent and weak. I looked ever so much better in that other one you took of me at my dragger's marriage." "The photographer smiled a little sadly and roasted "Ah, sir, I haven't got the arti- tle taste I had when I was young. Besides, my career is getting old." --- New Head of the Grand Army. Judge Harvey M. Trimble of Bloomington, Ill., the new commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has been a prominent figure in the organization for many years. He was president of the Vicksburg park commission and has been commander of the department of Illinois. The new commander is a native of Ohio, but most of his life has been spent in Illinois. He was a student at Dearborn college when he enlisted for HARVEY M. TRIMBLE the civil war in the Ninety-third Illinois volunteers. Except for a period of fourteen days, when he was a prisoner of war, he participated in every movement of his regiment, including the Mississippi campaign, the Yazoo Pass expedition, Chittanooga, Alatona, Mississippi Ridge, the march to the pen, the Carolina campaign and finally the grand review at Washington. After he was mustered out he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1800. He has been successful both at the bar and on the bench, having served as county judge and circuit judge of his district. On Dec 31 last there were 203,410 members of the A. R.; 10,408 veterans died last year. Past Commander Gilman says the A. R. can only last twenty five years longer. Farm and Garden STORED CORN SHRINKAGE. A 147 Day Test Shows Loss of 1,970 Pounds In 500 Bushels. To those engaged in the handling of grain the natural shrinkage of shelled corn while in storage and in transit is a matter of prime importance and often a source of dispute because of shortage reported at time of receipt at warehouse and a further loss at date of final sale. In order to determine the amount of shrinkage or loss of weight occurring in shelled corn containing various percentages of moisture while in storage in elevators or during transit in cars the department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore chamber of commerce, has conducted an experiment with 500 bushels of shelled corn, the test beginning Jan. 5, 1910, and lasting 115 days. The coin used was taken from regular car receipts and was left in the wood at hopper of a 5000 pound scale at Elevator R of the Baltimore and Ohio system at Least Point, Baltimore. At the time of storage the moisture content was 188 per cent and at close of the test 147 per cent, or a 184 of 41 per cent. The weight per bushel had decreased from 51.7 pounds to 50 pounds, and the total loss of weight was 1970 pounds, or slightly more than 7 per cent. ALWAYS USE PIECE GATE. Little More Trouble to Make, but It's Handy and It Lasts. Mr C. A. Thomis in the Homestead gives an idea for an up to date two place gate that should be carefully studied by every enterprising farmer. It is made wide enough to allow a hay rack to pass through. The small section of the gate makes the handling easier when a person wishes to pass through, besides lessening the strife that would come on the gate were it made in one section. The larger section of the gate shuts against a short post, which is set in CHAPTER 10 INVALUABLE GATE the ground and swelled in such a manner as to leave a bit for the gate to shut against, is illustrated. The short 2 by 4 is held in place by strip from clips and holds the gate rigid. In doing closes, when passing through it, the 2 by 4 is slipped back on the larger gate and the hook used to keep the gate closed. WAY TO GET RICH QUICK. A farmer bought a sow and eight pigs over a year ago for $40. He wintered her mainly on alfalfa, and last spring she produced eleven pigs. He sold the pigs, two litters, when fat for $11440, which wasn't all profit, of course. The sow after a summer on alfalfa and blue grass has twelve pigs now. Next! Let Children Make Money. Why not give the boys -yes, and the girls, too-a little spending money patch? Let them have all they raise on it and you help them to dispense of their crop. This kind of treatment goes a long way toward content and happiness. Live Stock Notes. Nine times out of ten "slobbering" is caused by rough or sharp edges of the teeth irritating the sides of the mouth. Many horses after reaching fifteen years are bothered by their teeth. An English remedy to prevent horses from gnawing mingers and food troughs is to give the wool a coat of tar, put on with an old brown while hot. It is claimed that this is a sure cure for an annoying and destructive habit. Boys and girls would be right to milk the cows, separate the cream and churn it, as a great handup to children to rear them ignorant of such necessary work around the home. Let them have care of the cows and teach them to treat the animals kindly. The mysterious a tion of a horse which whirls and hites himself sav- agely are due undoubtedly to the pres- ence of worms in unusual numbers. The rubbing of the tail is another symptom in which a case of treatment is to be undertaken or four drums of treatment is to be NOTES FROM MEADOWBLOOK FARM By William Pitt Consult with your help. Nearly every one can grow phlox. Good, clean runs are a delight to the hens. A good cow is seldom sold, except at a high price. Are you trout ed with crows about your chicken yards? Food very little soft food and you will raise more chicks. Clover can be grown more cheaply than timothy or fodder corn. Bran and meat meal help to supply the young sows with muscle and bone. By putting a little fine hay in the calf's mouth daily she will soon learn to eat. Parsley is next to lettuce in winter marketing—both profitable—when well grown. One of the most important problems of the farmer is to feed his animals economically. Borrowing tools, and sending them home dull or rusty, doesn't make the other fellow grin. Young as well as old orchards should be plowed in the fall, and thoroughly harrowed in the spring Celery seed should be sown in a shallow drill and covered with just a light sprinkling of fine earth. Don't cultivate the potatoes when out in bloom, or coming out, unless you want a lot of stunted little tubers. If there are signs of worms in your big, feed concentrated lye, one half teaspoonful to each animal well mixed in slop or soft feed. If sweet butter is to be made which will command the highest market price, cleanliness must begin in the stable where the milking is done Go over the young apple trees and cut off every water sprout with a sharp knife close to the trunk. Do it early and they will heal this season. The proper time to set out fruit and deciduous trees is the latter part of October and the latter part of March or first part of April, in the spring. It is estimated that Colorado farmers last year received $7,500,000 for their sugar beet crop, an increase of $1,000,000 over the product of the previous year. In the opinion of many eastern feeders, best development of livestock cannot be had without the use of roots or silage to supply succulent feed during winter. String a stout wire overhead in the cow barn and hang the lantern to this while milking and feeding. It can be alld along from place to place and is safe handled this way. In setting one fruit tree, or many, the ground should be deeply plowed, thoroughly harrowed and the rows for the trees run out with the two-horse plow. Run the plow twice in each row. A ewe without milk makes a poor mother. Feed if necessary to get the milk flow, and you'll find the investment a good one. Roots of any kind, alfalfa hay, or a small grain feed will work wonder. A stout wire netting fence fastened to stout posts set two and one-half foot deep in the ground and eight feet apart makes the best hog fence; have board at bottom and one at top to keep the wire tight. Might as well give the trees plenty of room at the start because if you don't they will have to be cut out later. Thirty feet apart is the right distance for apple trees, although 60 feet would not do any harm. The future of the dairy business depends upon the quality of our products. It is a sad commentary on the dairy business, when we hear dealers and consumers argue that oloo is better than one-half of the butter, that finds its way to the market. When the mother's milk cannot be used for her calf, try to get the milk from a cow with a calf as old as the one you are feeding on the bottle, as the milk of a cow in the seventh or eighth month of her period of lactation is bad for a very young calf. LIVE STOCK GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP Every Farmer With Flock of Twenty five Animals Should Possess One—Concrete Is Cheap. A farmer owning as many as twenty-five sheep should have a good dipping vat. These may be made of wood, metal or concrete. For a smaller number of sheep than twenty-five, the barrel used to scald the pigs will do if the farmer feels that he cannot afford to purchase or build a vat. A good galvanized vat ten feet long and four feet deep made purposely for dipping can be purchased for about $12. There are smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for less money. Concrete vat can be built at a normal cost. Three or four farmers can club together and purchase one of the galvanized tanks and haul it to their respective farms as it is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep should be narrow enough to prevent the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the vat should depend upon the number of sheep a man keeps on his place, as the longer the vat the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in a day. There is considerable variation as to the A Dipping Vat. width of vats found on different farms and as a usual thing they are wider than necessary. Then, too, the narrower the vat the less the dip required to fill it. A vat 20 inches wide at the top and 5 inches wide at the bottom is a fair average as regards width, although some very practical sheep men construct their vats as narrow as 18 inches at the top and 6 inches at the bottom when the vat is 4 feet deep. The size of sheep kept on a farm must, of course, be taken into consideration The dipping sat illustrated is located in the driveway of the hog house, and can be used for the dipping of sheep and young pigs. It is built entirely of concrete, the walls of which are 6 inches in width with the exception of the partition between the vat and dry chamber, which has a thickness of 9 inches. The end of the vat into which the hogs and sheep are plunged is perpendicular while the opposite end is provided with an incline which is quite deeply creased to that the animal can walk out. The floor around the end of the vat from which the sheep emerge is so graded that all drippings return to the vat. There are sewer connections with this outlet, the valve of which is located in the dry chamber. The end of the sewer pipe in the vat is provided with a grate and trap so as to catch bits of wool and droppings which would otherwise clog the pipe. MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE Brick or Stone Sunk in Ground With Piece of Wire Attached Will Prove Effective. I have had no little amount of trouble fencing against hogs, for stretch the fence as tightly as I could, some old sow or pig would eventually press the wire up between the posts and let the whole bunch out, says a writer in the Farm and Home. A year ago I tried the following device for keeping my hogs from lifting the fence. Take a brick or small stone for a weight and a piece of No. 9 wire long enough to fasten around the weight with three feet extending, and sink the weight two and a half feet in the Hog-Tight Fence. ground directly under the bottom wire and half way between the posts Tamp the earth firmly over the weight and then bring the bottom wire of the fence down closely to the ground and fasten it to the wire that is on the weight. This holds the fence down firmly to the ground and there is no dog that can raise it up Every year France spends $4,840,000 to encourage horse breeders to main tain the quality of their horses.
