THE MAN AND THE METHOD.
Anioog many Interesting and Instruc?
tive features of ihe late national hor?
ticultural congress at Council Blurts.
la., perhaps Done has received greater
commendation and publicity than the
apple exhibit of a Mr. Mincer of Ham
buri:, la., a little town located in I're
uiont. thc southwest county of the
stale, lt seems that Mr. .Mincer hus
for several veins past had charge of
u twenty acre orchard, which for some
time previous bad been badly neglect?
ed Oil tal<ing charge he began spray
ing and gave the orchard in other re?
spects I be Lest care be could. Last
year he attended the horticultural
show at Council Blurts and exhibited
a few apples, but they were not up to
the standard ot the western fruit.
However, be kept his eyes open, took
notes and pumped tlie western ranch?
men as to just how they produced their
fine fruit. Ile found that it was bj
giving intensive, painstaking rare to
u few acres which mad;- Improved
methods possible. He acted ou this
suggestion and devoted most of his
attention last season to seven acres
When he appeared at the fruit show
last November he had an exhibit which
was considered by botb visitors and
judges to be one of the very finest m
the ball. Ile had gained size and col
or. while in the [tacking of his ex?
hibit he had been assisted by a young
lady who had had experience in Idaho
packing houses. The net result ot his
efforts was that he was awarded a
number of the most valuable prizes
and trophies which were put up. On
the business side he not only received
a high price for the choice apples left
after his show stock was selected, but
was offered $o a box straight for his
exhibit fruit. This instance not only
points to the immense educational val
ue of these national fruit exhibits in
providing a stimulus for better efforts,
but shows what is even more imper
taut?that after all is said and done
it is more the man and his method
than it is climate and soil that are
the chief determining factors in the
attainment of success in the fruit busi?
ness. This man's achievement should
be a source of encouragement to fruit
growers in all sections.
PCCR CLAY TILE.
Not long ago there appeared an arti?
cle in this department waining pro?
spective users of draintile against ce?
ment tile Improperly made. A friend
who is engaged In the manufacture of
cement tile lu a letter received a sholl
time ago admits the truth aud fair?
ness of the article, but thinks it gives
the impression that uo poor clay tile
are made. We are glad to state that
tiiis is far from the truth. If the flay
body from which the tile is made con?
tains an excess of lime and magne?
sium or ot tier Ingredients aside from
the silicon and aluminium compounds,
which should largely compose it. they
are quite likely to lack uniformity of
texture, will be too brittle and are
apt to go to pieces when exposed to
ordinary soil or air conditions. Aud it
goes without saying that a collapsed
clay tile is just as worthy of condem?
nation and strict avoidance as a shod
dy cement tile As in the case of the
cement tile, much will depend upon
the integrity and reputation of the
firm manufacturing. The only point
in favor of the clay tile is that there
is not the incentive present to scrimp
expense in the cost of manufacture,
as is the case with the manufacturer
of cement tile in tlie use of poor sand
and in the reduction of the per cent of
cement below the proper amount. A
tile drain system is no better than the
poorest sec;ion in it; hence he who
has in view such a system of drainage
should exer-ise the greatest caution
that the tile used should be above de
feet or reproach, and this holds true
equally of both the burned clay and
the cement product.
FAMILY AND MARKET ORCHARDS
For the apple orchard which is to
produce fruit for family use only it
does very well to set several varieties,
which will answer the several pur?
poses for which the fruit is used and
will cover as long a season of con?
sumption as possible But if the ap?
ples are to be grown for the market it
is by all means best to restrict thc
varieties pot to one or two kind?
which are known to be prolific and
hardy and will fetch a good price at
the season when one must martel
them. A buyer would always prefer
to handle a carload of fruit of uniform
duality and one variety than a con?
glomerate, mixed up assortment, even
if the several varieties ripened at the
same time, which is rarely tbe ea?e.
We are well aware of the fact that if
left to tdmae!? many a nurseryman
will load bis patrons up witb just as
many varieties-god. bad and indiffer?
ent?aa he will take, but he ignores
the conditions which make the largest
success possible when he does so.
Every hog raiser might reduce the
cost of pork production materially If
he would provide a field of rape of
sufficient size for his pigs to range in
during the summer months, lt is esti?
mated that au acre devoted to rape
will produce a food supply in one sea?
son worth from $20 to $25. It may be
sown as soon as the ground works
well and at the rate of about three
pounds per acre. It should be allowed
to get a good 9tart before the pigs are
turned Into it.
ne ls a wise farmer who not only
inspects and tests his seed corn but
also keeps an eye on his congressman
down ut svashington for important
things will be doing in the next few
weeks.

SKIMMILK
VALUABLE
Skimmilk is by far the most Impor?
tant byproduct from the dairy snd the
best adapted to varied and profitable
, uses. A prominent dairyman says
| that skimmilk as a human food ls un?
appreciated by most farmers, but it
has been tested nuder various condi?
tions by food experts and has proved
a useful portion of an everyday diet
for many people. The use of skimmilk
ought to be encouraged.
livery dairy should be equipped
with a good separator, and farmers
would find city markets for a large
amount of this valuable byproduct.
Skimmilk has all tho protein and half
of the full value of the whole milk
and is in most localities the most eco
notnical source of animal protein/ The
food elements in skimmilk are equal
in physiological value to those of
meats and are far less expensive.
As au article to substitute for water
lu the preparation of various dishes
as well as for ol hers that are made
mainly of milk there is no waste, but
a decided gain in food value. In mak?
ing bread skimmilk will add to the
weight and nutritive value of the loaf.
Used in place of water, sufficient flour
may be saved to pay for the milk and
yet produce a loaf of equal weight
and of more actual food value.
Milk bread is richer in fatty matter
aud superior in flesh forming elements,
which is scientifically explained as be?
ing due to the casein of milk being in?
corporated with the fibrin of the flour.
The sale of skimmilk to bakers and
Confectioners should be encouraged
and is capable of being largely in?
creased. I'sed in this manner, it may
be made tn net the consumer a dollar
a hundred pounds, or more than a
large per cent of the farmers and dai?
rymen realize for their whole milk.
As a food for domestic animals skim?
milk oe; unies the most conspicuous po?
sition of any foodstuff, especially as a
feed for young and growing animals.
lt gives i.ic best returns when fed to
very young animals, constituting the
larger pan of their rations, It is next
best for animals making rapid growth,
hut which need other feed than milk,
mainly of a carbonaceous nature. Ex?
cept for very young animals skimmilk
gives the best returns when used in
combination with other foods, gen?
erally grains. No class of live stock
will give larger returns for skimmilk
than poultry of various kinds.
If a premium were offered for the
most rapid gains in pig feeding my
opinion would be that some man skill
?cJ^faTsS&r"
Bl
&?&%!
W0KKINO A HAND BKP-.B_.TOB.
ed in feeding skimmilk with other
foods would carry off the prize. Skim?
milk is rich In bone building and blood
making constituents, aud when we
consider its use for these purposes aud
also remember its easy digestibility
and that by adding a variety it makes
other food articles more palatable and
assists in their digestion we must hold
skimmilk as occupying a high place iu
the list of foodstuffs available on farms.
Authorities seem to differ as to the
merits of sweet and sour milk as a
feed for swiue. Calves are next in fa?
vor as profitable consumers of skim?
milk, and some feeders think that they
can feed their skimmilk to calves and
derive mote profit from lt than by
feeding it to swine, but this depends
to a large extent upon the good quali?
ties of the animals being fed.
In feeding skimmilk to calves a
cent's worth of oilmen! will take the
place of a pound of butter fat that has
been removed from the milk. Be?
sides, wheu the milk Is fed warm lt is
better for the calves than milk that is
cold and Bonr.
A young animal that is fed on skim?
milk. with mill feed or grain, may be
made to weigh almost as much as oue
of similar breeding, but fed on whole
milk, with the same kind of grain, at
one year of age. In feeding skimmilk
to calves overfeeding is dangerous and
must be avoided. The digestive or?
gans of calves are more easily derang?
ed than those of the pig, and care
must be exercised in their feeding.
Some calves will take more skimmilk
than others, and it is well to study the
capacity of each calf and fit the
amount of milk to suit each animal.
Some dairymen feed skimmilk to
their cows mixed with grain and find
it ls of more or less value, lt h..s
also been fed to lambs, horses aud
colts with success.
Do Not Exercise In Cold.
The cow that is making from two to
three pounds of butter each day Bbouit.
not be turned out in a yard In the cou]
to exercise, else her butter yield will
drop.

PRESERVING FERNS IN WINTER
They Should Be Pir.ccd Where Thoy
Get Diffused Li^ht.
Although ferns are greatly admired
for indoor decorations, the plants ar?
in general singularly onfortunate lu
the treatment they receive at Hie
hards of their owners, li being well
understood that most varieties thrive
better when not exposed to tap '?? ,
sunshine, they are Usually relegated
to any shady and cold position thal
may be otherwise unoccupied In the
house. This method of" dealing with
the plants invariably ends In dis. i>
pointment. Although it is true that
ferns do not like the direct rays ol the
sun continually upon them, yet a cer?
tain amount of light ls necessary for
their development, and instead of
standing them in corners and other
unfavorable places lt ls far better to
Rive them the full benefit of a window
?a northern aspect v ill do--cr. at any
rate, they should be placed where they
get ample diffused li;.ht.
Another frequent cause of failure
in ferns is tiie seml-sturvatioa to
which they are subjected. The idea
i? very prevalent that they do not rc
I quire manure, and iu consequence any
I poor loll which comes to hand is used
for potting them up. Certainly a soil
heavily manured is not suitable for
thea;, ard fresh manure should on no
account be used, int a reasonable al?
lowance of leaf mold is, us a rule.
highly beneficial.
To preserve tlie delicate greenup**
of the fronds liquid manure i..:;;.' he
given when the plants are in growth
mid the pots fairly full of roots. A
good fertilizer, such as nitrate of soda.
may be dissolved in the proportion of
half an ounce to the gallon and the
ferns watered therewith every ten or
twelve days. This is especially good
where the plants ure old or partly ex?
hausted. Boot water is also very use?
ful as a Stimulant. It should be per?
fectly dear and is best applied alter?
nately with an artificial fertilizer. Liq?
uid manure of animal origin should be
_scd very sparingly ot not at all.

HOW TUBERCULIN IS MADE.
There seems to be an idea in the
minds of some thal the Injection of
tuberculin into the system of a cow
which does not have tuberculosis may
in some mysterious way develop the
disease in her. Thia is ;i wrong Idea.
as will be understood from ;! descrip?
tion of the method of preparing the
serum given below, taken from a bul?
letin recently published by lu-, c. II.
Stange of the Iowa Agricultural col?
lege at Ames.
"A bouillon is prepared willi beef or
veal infusion containing from I to <;
per cent of glycerin This is placed
lu flasks and sterilized thea I cd lo a
temperature sufficient to kill nil living
organisms). It is then Inoculated with
a pure cull ure of the tubercle bacillus
and kept in an Incubator at ON de?
grees I', lu the ci urw of a few
weeks the tubercle bacilli will have
formed a coarse granular scum ou the
surface. Thc Contents of tlie Cask
are now penrod into a porcelain dish
and heated until evaporation reduces
it to one-tetirli of irs volume. It is
then altered tb rou/li a porcelain tilrer.
The liquid pausing through lUe tilter
is tuberculin. The beal required to
concentrate the Cuhl before nitration
is tufllclenl to kill all ba.l!'.:. while
the filter removes all the dead bacilli.
Tuberculin is therefore the bouillon lu
which the tubercle bacillus bas been
grown aid contains the foxle material
produced by its growl h. but the heat
io which the preparation ls subjected
effectively destroys all germ life."
CHEAP SEED CORN.
If reports from I hone parts of the
corn belt which were visited by thc
hilling October freeze are tn be believ?
ed $10 ls about the price which will be
paid for seed corn showing nu aver?
age test of 05 per cent. Buying se**1
corn at this figure is expensive busi?
ness, but it comes a long way from
being es expensive a proceeding as
planting in good soil two dollnr seed
corn that will test but Kl per* cent and
that Is neirher good nor strong. Ill
buring seed corn the coming sining lt
will be well to keep clearly in mind
the fact that one bushel of good seed
t/111 plant seven acres, which even on
the $10 bar-is makes the con! of seed
per nore but $1.45. The question foi
the farmer to settle would seem to bc
whether the twenty to thirty bushell
extra that he will get from planting
Reed that will grow are worth "."> cents
