The state board of agriculture esti
mates the broom corn crop of Kansas
at 12,158,200 pounds as against 10,715,-
'615 pounds in 1906.
One of the largest grain checks ever
reported from the state of Washington
■was for $45,364, paid to a wheat raiser
of that state for 62,000 bushels of
wheat, the product of a 1,500 acre field.
A Siberian landowner of the name
of Jovanovitch is said to be the larges'
sheep owner in the world, having a
flock or flocks numbering 1,750,000
head, in the herding and care of which
he requires 35,000 sheep dogs.
Dairymen received prices for their
butter product during the year 1907
which ranged from 4 to 5 cents per
pound higher than the prices received
during 1906. While this did not mean
a large sum for any individual farmer,
it meant for all an additional income
of from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000.
The authorities in charge of the man
agement of affairs at Chicago univer
sity have lately decided to add a com
pletely equipped dairy department to
the courses which they already offer.
This will include, besides thorough
courses of Instruction, an up to date
dairy of pure bred Holstein cattle of
well known milking strains.
With a view to determining the cost
of filling silos in different sections of
the country the government last year
tabulated the experience of thirty-one
farmers and, after exhaustive inquiry
as to methods and details, found that
the minimum expense for filling was
46 cents per ton, the maximum 86.
while the average for the total number
was 64 cents.
On o of the remarkable industrial de
velopments of the Pacific coast has
been that which has been noted in con
nection with the salmon packing busi
ness. No salmon was packed for ex
port until 1870, when there were two
small canneries on the Columbia river.
■*spdaj’ there are twenty-three such es
tablishments, fifteen on the Oregon
and eight on the Washington side of
the river. The present annual output
of tlje fish is 1,000,000 cases, worth
The effect of a thoroughbred sire in
the matter of improving the milk ca
pacity of dairy cows has lately been
given a practical demonstration at the
New York state dairy farm. A scrub
or common cow was taken which test
ed 220 pounds per year. Her calf, from
a thoroughbred dairy sire, showed a
butter yield of 275 pounds of butter fat
per year, while two cows of the fourth
generation gave 450 pounds of butter
each. These results would seem to
give a black eye to the forty dollar bull
theory held by some.
With clover seed bringing the price
It did this year, in the neighborhood of
sl4 per bushel, there was great temp
tation to adulterate it with harmful or
worthless weed or grass seed, while it
Is quite certain that seed of question
able quality and vitality was shipped
from distant points to satisfy the ex- I
traordinary demand for it. In illustra
tion of this we have in mind the case 1
of several Mississippi valley farmers
who this year sowed clover seed that
was quite foul with grass seed native I
or at least growing in Wyoming, which ,
would seem to be pretty conclusive ev- I
Idence that the seed came from this j
latter region. Whether the seed Is pos
sessed of good vitality and came from
plants which will be able to stand the
winters of the central northern states
Is a question which it will take a year
or more to determine.
An excellent method of treating po
tatoes for the blight, which is likely to
be a serious menace to the crop in wet
seasons, Is to take five pounds of cop
per sulphate and dissolve it in half a |
barrel of water. To this should be
added five pounds of freshly slaked
lime diluted to half a barrel in volume
In some other receptacle. It is usually
considered the more dilute the form
in which the two solutions are mixed
the better will be the quality of the re
sultant bordeaux mixture. This solu
tion. which should be of a delicate,
light milky blue tint. Is for the blight
only. If it is desired to swipe the
bugs at the same time, parts green |
should be added, first carefully mixed
with water in a can at the rate of I
about five ounces to a barrel full of the
bordeaux mixture. The potato vines
should be sprayed for the blight at In
tervals of ten days so long as the pest
seems to persist.
Perhaps the two greatest enemies of
the little chicks are dampness and lice,
the first bringing on roup and kindred
disorders and the second tending to
sap the system of the growing chick
and either killing it outright as a re
sult or tending to make it susceptible
to the attack of other ailments. While
the chicks cannot always be kept from
running out in the wet grass or being
In a soaking rain, their coop or roosting
place should always be dry and warm.
As for the lice, they may be fixed usu
ally by rubbing a good strong Insect
powder through the feathers of the
body and head, by rubbing lard on the
head and by putting coal oil in the
cracks and on the floor of the coop
where the chickens roost. Often the
chicks may be supposed to be suffer
ing from this or that ailment and look
generally dumpy, yet a pest of lice be
the real cause of the trouble. A care
ful examination of the head and under
the wings of each chick will show
whether this is the case.
There are many parents with a good
sized family of children who are so sit
uated that there is little chance of
their doing much for them financially,
but they should see to it. so far as lies
in their power, that the children are
allowed to make the most of the edu
cational advantages which the com
munity offers.
The report of the state entomologist
of Minnesota, who was requested to
make a thorough investigation of the
green bug damage of last year, is to
the effect that the actual damage done
by these bugs was very slight, but that
the scare was quite serious, resulting
in violent perturbations among specu
lators on the board of trade.
As a result of the operation of pure
seed laws in force in several states,
houses doiug business in such states
this year quoted virtually no prices on
good quality clover seed because they
were not in shape to guarantee to re
tail buyers seed which in many cases
was shipped in from other states and
under no guarantee, there being no fed
eral pure seed law covering the sale of
such seed.
Recently published data relative to
, the creameries of the United States
show that there are in the country
6,000 such plants. Of this number 1,800
i companies |re co-operatively managed,
, and its number seems to be steadily
increasing. Other figures complied show
that patrons of the co-operative plants
. realized from 2 to 3 cents per pound
■ more for their butter fat than those
, who shipped by express and sold to
large central plants.
The Kansas State Agricultural col
lege at Manhattan has done a com
mendable work in engaging the serv
ices of an expert of the United States
forest service for several weeks’ talks
to institutes In those portions of the
state where the tree planting gospel is
especially in need of being proclaimed.
Besides this mode of instruction, it has
issued a pamphlet on tree culture for
study in all of the rural schools. Much
practical good should come from ef
forts directed along such sensible lines.
As showing the value of an accurate
testing of the milk yield and quality
of the dairy herd it Is stated that be
fore Colantha IV.’s Johanna’s milk was
tested she was valued at several hun
dred dollars. After making a scientific
test of her milk her owners refused for
her an offer of SII,OOO, while one of
her bull calves sold for SB,OOO. It is
not likely that a careful testing of the
cows of the average dairy herd is going
to develop any SII,OOO prize cows, but
it will at least enable the dairyman to
eliminate from his herd with dispatch
those that are not paying for their
keep.
The small boy about the home may
very easily make a nesting place for
the wrens by taking a cigar box of
good depth or a good sized tin can, cut
ting a hole about an inch in diameter
in one end and fastening it under the
eaves of the shed or house or in the
crotch of a tree. Pains should be taken
not to have the hole large enough so
that the English sparrow can get in.
The wrens will not have any trouble
finding the nesting place, and the songs
they will sing through the summer
months, coupled with their tameness
and the fact that they are among the
best of insect destroyers, will more
than make up for the trouble one is
put to fixing them a place to nest In.
A friend who recently seeded down
a piece of greensward bordering the
road has set it out to elm trees two or
three years old, about the size of a
broomstick. While there is no ques
tion that in time these little slips will
make nice trees, It is going to take
seven or eight years longer, and possi
bly ten, to get a tree equal In size to
what he would have had In six years if
he had cut back the roots and branches
of trees three inches in diameter and
set them out. The writer has a row of
| elm trees which were handled in this
manner nine years ago which today
run from ten to fifteen Inches in diam
eter at the ground. While the ash,
hackberry, hard maple and box elder
may also be transplanted in this way,
none of them recuperates as satisfac-
I torily from a severe cutting back as do
i the elms.
A walk across a number of pastures
In the locality where the writer lives
shows that even in the middle of May,
j when they ought to be at their best,
so far as rapidity and luxuriance of
growth go, they are already badly
overpastured. This works injustice not
only to the pasture, but a double in
justice to the cows which depend en
tirely upon the feed it furnishes for
sustenance and dairy utility. Doubt
less the conditions above noted are to
be found in sections all over the coun
try. It is an easy matter to pace off
and get the dimensions and area of a
pasture. If it is carrying cows or
horses at the rate of more than one to
each acre it is overcrowded, and the
long headed owner will put his stock
where feed is more plentiful. He may
have to pay a trifle more for the next
pasture, but this will prove economy in
the long run.
A NEW WAY TO TREAT FLAX.
Considerable interest has been mani
fested within the past few weeks in
i the announcement which has been
■ made of the invention of a new process
of making linen from flax straw, which
in years past has been a waste product
except for very limited use in feeding
and in the manufacture of small quan
tities of binding twine. In the foreign
| method of treating flax extensively fol
j lowed in Holland from sixteen to thir
ty weeks are required in the process of
transforming flax into linen. First
comes the “rotting” or weighting down
of the flax straw in popls of water ex
; posed to the sun until the wood or
I “shive” rots away. Next comes the
“scutching” or beating of the dry
straw, followed by the “hackling” or
combing, softening and bleaching. By
the new process, which is the discov
ery and invention of a professor at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
the tedious processes above referred to
are reduced to mechanical and chem
ical operations which are completed in
twelve hours, including degumming,
softening and bleaching, the finished
product coming out a glossy white
color and with an expeedlngly tough

j fiber. Another point in fhvor or tne
. i American process is that it will yield
f 250 pounds of fiber from 1.000 pounds
. of straw, while the foreign method
s gives but 170. In addition to this, the
e new process saves the seed and the
shive, which is utilized in paper mak
!_ ing. while the tow is also a byproduct
that is not lost. If the new method
does all that is claimed for it. it will
t not only do much to put the manufac
o tore of linen on a business basis in
e this country, but will revolutionize the
o manufacture of linen abroad. How
e ever, unless the method of growing
t flax in this country is likewise revolu
„ tionized—that is, put on a basis where
there would not lie a rapid depletion of
soil fertility—the new process would
in the long run mean no boon to the
e agricultural welfare of the country.
s ADVANTAGES OF RAPE.
o i Where sheep, young stock or hogs
F are to be fed during the fall and early
(- winter mouths there is probably no
s method of producing a fine lot of suc
-3 culent and nitritious feed that is su
-- perior to sowing rape seed in the com
f field the last time it is cultivated In
addition to the supply of feed which
is furnished, a point in favor of the
o plan is thdt. covering the ground as it
s does, the growing rape takes the place
y of just so many weeds that would be
0 pretty sure to befoul the fields if the
I, rape were not there. There are a
y whole lot of farmers who have not yet
p got to the point where they appreciate
s the benefits of rape. A few do sow it
1 not only in the corn, but with their
e oats and other small grain, as it guar
a antees a fall pasture for stock of the
kinds mentioned that can’t be beat.
- A COUNTY EXPERIMENT WORK.
A western lowa county has taken
' advantage of the state law which al
-3 lows boards of supervisors to set aside
3 S3OO annually for the purpose of carry- j
a ing on agricultural experimental work
- at the county farm and this year, in
• co-operation with and under the direc
-3 tion of the seed corn specialists of the
1 state experiment station, will set aside
1 a portion of the farm for a thorough
" testing of the different kinds of seed
• corn which are being planted in the
community. The several points of va
• rlety, yield, early maturity, prepara
r i tion of soil, fertilizers and cultivation
■ will be determined so far as possible
■ and the results summarized at the close
■ of the year for the especial benefit of
! the farmers of the county and adjoin
ing counties where much the same con
ditions prevail.
i ■
THE MAN, NOT THE FARM.
The vast difference that is often no
ticeable between the general appear
ance as well as the productiveness of
farms lying side by side or in the same
neighborhood is quite likely more due
to difference in the proprietors and the
methods they follow in the conduct of
their respective farms than to any
original difference in fertility of the
soil. An intelligent and farsighted
farmer can bring a naturally poor farm
up to a fair state of productivity, while
a negligent and shiftless one can, with
a good deal less effort, bankrupt a nat
urally fertile one and make it an un
desirable piece of property.
“
MORE SEED.
■ A good many have experienced great
difficulty in getting a stand of alfalfa.
■ In some cases this seems to have been
partly the result of an improper prepa
ration of the soil or lack of sufficient
, moisture at the time of germination,
j but quite as likely to the fact that in-;
sufficient seed was sowed. While some
■ authorities in the northern states rec
• ommend the sowing of fifteen to eight- ■
een pounds per acre, it is a common
practice in Nebraska and Kansas,
I where this legume is extensively
, grown, to sow from twenty-five to thlr
. ty pounds per acre.
GUARD THE BIRDS.
From this time on through the sum
| mer the birds that nest about your
home will have the trials of their life
1 in getting their fledgelings past the
point where they can use their wings
and keep out of the way of the prowl
’ Ing cats. A real service can be ren
dered the birds by keeping a sharp
’ lookout and throwing brickbats enough
at the feline tribe to give them to un
• derstand that at certain times and sea
sons their proper place during daylight
, hours is under the wood shed or bam.
; HIS TURN CAME.
The Way the Liquor Man Got Even
With the Bank Teller.
j Many years ago there lived in Hut
( land, Vt, two men who bore the same
r name, which name we will call W. O.
Jones. One of these men was a dap
' per young bank teller; the other was
' engaged in running a cigar store with
} a saloon attachment in the rear. This
t was In the days of prohibition in Ver
j mont. Every three or four weeks the i
latter Jones would be haled into the
police court and fined for liquor sell
ing, which was chronicled regularly In
the dally papers. The bank teller grew
\r nervous about It, and one morning this
a announcement appeared: “W. O. Jones,
a the popular young bank teller of the
s Rutland National bank, it to be
h understood that he is In no way con
t nected with the saloon keeper and
S hopes their names may not be con
i' founded.”
a Now, it transpired that a few months
i- afterward this young teller failed to
■- appear one morning at his accustomed
f window at the bank. Upon a hasty
>t examination it was found that $15,000
a or more of the funds of the bank bad
also disappeared. The wires were
r called into requisition immediately,
e and after a few days he was located
y in Denver. It was the old story. He
r was brought back, incarcerated, tried,
y etc.
It was now the saloon keeper's turn,
e and this notice was duly published in
r , the same paper that Issued the pre
-0 vlous one: “W. O. Jones, the widely
i• known business man of Merchants'
a row, wishes It to be understood that he
f, is in no way connected with W. O.
1 Jones, tile defaulting bank teller now
e in jail, and hopes their names may not
h I be confounded.”—Exchange.
A POOR GROCER.
fudubon’s Lame Attempt to Succeed
as a Merchant.
It is not generally remembered that
the worldwide reputation of Audubon
as a naturalist incidentally ue *°
his failure to establish himself perma
nently as a Missouri grocery merchant
and dealer in the best brands of Ken
tucky whisky.
In 1810 he and Ferdinand Rozier of
St. Genevieve loaded a keel boat at
Louisville, Ky., with 010 barrels of
whisky and groceries and started down
the Ohio and Mississippi to St. Gene
vieve to open a grocery store. The trip
was made during the winter, and the
streams were so full of ice that the
boat was drawn up against the bank
and winter quarters were established
just below Cape Girardeau. When St.
Genevieve was reached, after the open
ing of navigation, the firm of Audu
bon & Rozier opened their store and
did a prosperous business. But the
business was done by Rozier, for Au
dubon preferred the woods to the coun
ter and devoted more of his time to
sketching and stuffing birds than he
did to marketing the 310 barrels of
Kentucky bourbon or any other gro
ceries. This led to a dissolution of the
partnership. On April y, 1811, Audu
bon. convinced of his unfitness for
business, sold out to Rozier and took
up the work for which he was better
fitted than any one who had lived be
fore or who has lived since and from
a fourth rate grocer became the grt
ornithologist. The grocery business
which Audubon abandoned grew until
finally it “extended throughout all of
upper Louisiana.”—Kansas City Star.
A WOMAN OF QUICK WIT.
Susan B. Anthony Never Lacked a
Ready Reply.
Few lives so lend themselves to dra
matic narration as Susan B. Anthony’s,
says the Delineator. It ranged from
tragedy to comedy, with scattered bits
of melodrama, she ever in the center of
the stage. With her everything was
always intensely realistic—not acting.
Miss Anthony had a peculiar faculty
of condensing a whole speech into a
single sentence. For Instance, when
she heard men lamenting that the pro
fession of teacher was not respected as
much as the other professions, “Do you
not see that so long as society says
woman has not brains enough to be a
doctor, lawyer or minister, but has
plenty to be a teacher, every man of
you who condescends to teach tacitly
admits before all Israel and the sun
that he has no more brains than a wo
man ?” And when Horace Greeley said
to her at Albany, “You know the bal
lot and bullet go together—if you vote,
are you ready to fight?” instantly she
retorted, “Yes, Mr. Greeley, just as you
fought in the late war—at the point of
a goose quill!” Again, when she was
talking on divorce and the Rev. A. D.
Mayo, thinking to annihilate her, said,
“You are not married; you have no
business to be discussing marriage,” j
“Well, Mr. Mayo,” she answered, “you
are not a slave; suppose you quit lec
turing on slavery!”
His Support.
A young colored man in Washington
who passed with credit a civil service
examination was immediately certified
for appointment to the treasury de
partment. His old mother, a darky of
the antebellum type, insisted upon ac
companying him to witness his taking
of the oath of office. When the official
charged with the swearing in of the
new clerk put to him the usual formula
with reference to “supporting the con
stitution of the United States” the old
lady’s eyes were seen to bulge with as
tonishment. But she said nothing till
she and her son were outside, when,
turning to him, she solemnly observed: |
“I didn't wanter say nothin’ in there, j
Joe, but ’deed, honey, I don’t see how
youse goin’ to suppote de United States (
when you ain’t been able till now to 1
suppote your folkses.”—St. Paul Pio
neer Press.
Bird Structure.
Birds belong to the vertebrates, or
backboned animals. They are distin
guished from the rest of the verte
brates by the graceful outlines of their
| bodies, by their clothing of feathers,
toothless Jaws and the fore limbs, or
wings, being adapted to flying. Nature
has made many wonderful provisions
In the bird, especially in the formation
and arrangement of the bones. These
are compact and in many cases hollow,
thus combining lightness with strength.
The first bone of the backbone Is so
freely Jointed to the skull that birds
can turn their beads around and look
directly back.
What Displeased Him.
Two hunters were making their way
across a lush meadow after a rain.
The ground was moist and soggy, but
their feet by quick stepping could be
prevented from sinking more than an
kle deep.
Suddenly the one in advance disap
peared up to his neck in a narrow
stream that, owing to the luxuriant
growth on the bank, he had observed
only as he stepped into It With diffi
culty he pulled himself out and began
wringing the water from his garments.
“Well, darn a country,” he remarked,
with feeling, “where they set their
creeks up edgewise and hide ’em in the
grass.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
Dreamers.
There was never so much need for
real dreamers as there is today. The
business man, caring only for “his
beef, his beer and his pew in eternity,"
will laugh scornfully and want to
know how his balance sheet would
appear did he give way to dreaming,
forgetting that his operations originat
ed years ago In the vaguest visions;
also that happiness is not a necessary
compliment of a heavy cash box. —Lon-
don Academy.
Alms From • Tomb.
A remarkable custom which has
been uninterruptedly in force for 300
years is yearly observed at Ideford, a
secluded parish £ few miles from
Chudlelgh. It is that of picking up
alms from the donor's tomb in the
churchyard. The rector and church
warden stand at one end of the tomb,
i upon the flat top of which they place
coins. The recipients of the charity
come up one by one to the other end
i of the tomb and pick up the money.—
