Among the more or less successful dairy feeds are certain by-products of starch and cereal food manufacturing plants. These are known as gluten feeds, oat feeds, etc. At the Massa- -y chusetts State station the nutritive effect of the gluten meal w..s found ' to be slightly higher than that' of an cqxu.1 weight of linseed meal. The Vermont station found that gluten meal has a considerably greater feed ing value as corn germ feed. .

The strawberry crop conies early, and the fruit Is sometimes ready for picking In May. To prevent the vines from bearing too early, provided some of the fruit Is desired later, mulch the vines heavily and keep the mulch be tween the rows until after the plants bloom.

The tree that ETOWrt Oil rich is sure trimmed and protected against Insect attacks, but a tree that has borne fruit for years on poor land must fail be fore its natural time for production ceases. Cultivation and fertilizers will give new life to such trees and render them profitable. Trees perform excel lent service and require an abundance of nourishment to annually produce new wood and bear crops. Fitzgerald, O. T., Jan. 27, 1002. Messrs. Terry & Dowden, Oklahoma City, O. T. Gentlemen: We take pleasure in stating that we took ttock in the lands and city lots opened up in the Old Fort Supply lltbervatlon In Woodward County' by the Fitzgerald Land Co., at Oklahoma City on Jan. 23. and were present and witnessed the drawing that took place at that time. We found the drawing was conducted absolutely on the square. After the drawing we vis ited the new town of Fitzgerald and also Inspected the lands that were j drawn. We found the town on the j most beautiful rise of ground, over j looking the two rivers, with perfect j drainage. The country tributary Is ! well adapted to the various crops j wheat, oats, Kaffir corn, corn, broom i corn, castor beans, and the bottom j lands and valleys will produce good Indian corn and the finest alfalfa.

This Is done by "cuttings," which are made by taking the sprouts from the tops of the beets, which are transplanted. The beet has been halved and quartered in order to pro duce seed from selected specimens, but the "cuttings" are preferred, as the beets which produce the largest number of sprouts will yield the great est amount of beets, which will also be the richest in sugar.

As there are v.w days when the wind does not blow, it .s extremely difficult to ob tain ideal conditions for the work. When the air is still the spray may be evenly put on the tree and little of the mixture will be wasted. When the wind is blowing it becomes neces sary to spray the tree, from several side3 to get a uniform application. Some of our best sprayers find it advis able to spray from not less than six different position. If the air is still the tree may be sprayed all over at one time. But when the Avind is in motion one-half of the tree will have to be left until the wind changes. Farmers' Review.

Feitllizatloii of Flowers. Insects are necessary to the fertil !7nt;,m (if most- flowers: and were It not for insects, especially honey bees, many of the crops we now have would be wanting. There are a good many flowers that produce pollen that has no means of getting from flower to flower except by the medium of insects. On the other band, some plants throw off great quantities of pollen without the help of the insects. Trofessor James Fletcher relates that when in British Columbia some people came to him and asked him to explain a shower of sulphur that had apparently fallen dur ing the preceding night. He assured them that there had been no shower of sulphur, but that what looked like sulphur was in reality the pollen of pine trees. row to nerfection. There is a wide O - A range of country from which to draw support for the town. We found many people arranging to engage in business in Fitzgerald. We fouftd that the pur est and most abundant soft water that j will prove of wonderful benefit to all , and especially those who may suffer from kidney or bladder troubles. We ! feel confident that the town is des ! tined to be one of the finest health re sorts in the United States. We found our lands all satisfactory, and also all the land that was put in the drawing. Taking everything into consideration, we found the situation even better than we had expected, and believe that those who have dealings with the Fitzgerald Land Compaq will receive fair and honest treatment throughout. There is not a man In our party who would take back his money for what he drew, in either lots or lands. Respectfully, M. Davison, Marshall, 111. L. Burnside, Dolson, 111.

V Stick to Com and Clover. There are no friends like the old friends, whether it be in the farm or in business, in the dairy or on the farm. But here my philosophy con lines me to cows and crops. Cows have proved themselves good friends to nany of us, and it is well to hold fast to such. Clover is in the same list, and if this friend gets shy sometimes, it is worth while coaxing a little. Clover is feminine. The best things are always of that persuasion, and in its line there is nothing better in the world than clover, therefore she is shy and coy, often, perhaps, that she may be coaxed and wooea and petted and cared for. I mean our common, every day red clover, the clover that was the salvation of our fathers' unwise meth ods of farming. There are miles writ tea about alfalfa. I want some of it and mean to have It, but so far have not succeeded in my coaxing. I am not talking down alfalfa or any nnl thine. Our lives and lands are often enriched by new friends, but let us hold fast to the o.-J. Iet us i-r fni. with the cows and clover. W F.
