The man who has Lop:s or cattle to feed in an rpen lot docs not grow very enthusiastic over the prospects of good sleishins. A good way to move a hand com sheller a short distance is to turn it upside down and run it on the balancewheel, after the fashion of a wheelbarrow. Small grain throughout a considerable area of the corn belt is not a very profitable crop, but it is a very necessary crop in order to get a supply of straw.

For a good hedge and wind-break plant the seeds of the honey locust. Ute the seed freely, as it is quicker to thin than to grow. This plan is free from Insect pests. For good results in farm dairying and butter making In winter, keep the milk at an even temperature. Keep the cream sweet until the day before churning, and stir the cream well.

In 1854 tomatoes first came Into general use In this country. In 1S4S they were first packed in tin and glass by Harrison W. Crosby, at Lafayette College, Pa., and sold at 50 cents a can.

Some people would have prices of farm products increased by lessening the output. This, however, seems a foolish idea In view of the position which the factor "supply" holds in the game of markets.

As a producer of human food a good dairy cow is about equal to two beef steers, and the cow has to give only 10 quarts of milk per day to do the v.ork. And, besides, the cow is left, whiic the steer is not.

Some fanners say that there Is more money to be made In dairying than in Bheep raising, and there are others whose opinions are the reverse. The fact cf the case Is, each is profitable, depending altogether on the man who Is hunting the profit. The only sure way to know Is to try both.

A speaker nt the New York Farmers' Institute said:' "Warded fowls are the modern Improved egg machines. Fowls let run and given free range cannot produce as great a number of eggs, for the reason that they divert a part of their capacity for forming the eggs. In my own casj, I Increased my egg yield 1S.720 eggs last year by yarding my fowls. A .stociinan living Just outside of Nebraska, according to report, drove his cattle over the boundary in order to take advantage of low railroad rates. Evidently the railroad "caught on" and disciplined him by compelling him to wait for cars twenty-five days. All this time shippers around him were able ti secure cars. Suit is now being brought for discrimination.

selected, which is the time when eggs

are least abundant and tho cost la the

highest. The whole matter depends on the success with which the flock is kept laying. The results showed all the way from a profit of $!P t a loss of $22 for each lot of one hundred fowls. It is commonly supposvd that the largest birds are Iho bet winter layers, but some of the Iost results In thcs contests were given by White Leghorns. It should be notM ii this connection that when hens are forced

by meat and other stimulating foods to lay well in winter they do not lay so many eggs In the following spring and summer. Hence when eggs are wanted to sell for hatching it pays better to let th9 flock rest in winter and be ready to produce all the eggs possible during the hatching season, but for production of market eggs It I3 better to give stinulaticg foods in winter and obtain cs many eggs as possible from Xovemrrr to March. Most of the eggs during that period will come from the early hatched puilets and from the hens that have gone throxigh their moult early. 1 To Select a Cotv. Wh'.Ie there may be no Infallible rule by which a man can be governed m selecting a high-class dairy cow, there aw many points that will assist and if carefully considered, will prevent disappointment as a rule. Remember tint a cow is a machine and is Intended tf change the different products on which she Is fed Into something of more value. Thore are two distinct types of the $e machines. One manufactures or converts feed into beef; the other into milk. There Is a very decided and pronounced difference in the type of the animal that makes beef, and the one which manufactures milk. In th dairy type we have an animal that 1b angular, thin, somewhat looseJointed tnd with prominent bones. She is wedg?-haped from the front with a lean bead, moderately long face slightly dished and a general contented expression of the features. The muzzle is large, mouth larg nortrils wide and opfja, a clear, full bright eye, a broad, full and high forehead, ears medium size, fine textirv, covered with fine haiK and orango yellow Inside. The neck Is thin, moderately bnj with little or no dewlap and the throat Is clean. Wide space between the' Jays,, the withers lean and sharp, the shoulders lean and obUqtm and the chest deep and wide, which indicates vigor and constitution.

TWO SISTEHS HAD ECZEMA.

When a man gets very wise In matters relating to any single profession he writes a book, but If you will call to mind the best farmer of your acquaintance the man who Is best qualified to say something on crop growing or lire stock raising, you will t'nd that ho never wrote a line on the subject in his life and possibly has never as much as pronounced bis own name In public. It is a distinct loss that such men are not more active as educators.

Imitation Batternillk. Buttermilk dletarians will probably be appalled to learn that the lumpy liquid which for years has been served. In all our big cities under the general classification of buttermilk, Is nothing more or less than a mixture of acid f nd skimmed milk. A certain amount of culture lactic acid bacteria are ad

ded to skim milk the sort which 1st

commonly looked uion as the rightful property of the pigs. The bacteria added io the skim milk produce coagulation ani flavor not unlike genuine buttermilk. Then the mixture Is churned to produce the lumps.

Ile-fCln at tlx Top. The ml take that most 1 arsons rinke when the) decide to go into the ioultry business is that of starting with mongrel fowls and trying to drift Into the pure-bred line year after year. They will buy, perhaps, a sitting of pure-bred eggs cf pure-bred fowls and at the end of the season they allow the entire lot to rua together, and when the next year's hatching season comes around they decide that they will still, keep some of the mongrel hens. If for no other purjKse than to furnish eggs for the table. It naturally follows that tbe two treeds get mixed, and at the end of th next season there are but few of tho young fowls which do not show a crass. Another mistake that they make Is tbat of trying to keep more than ie breed. Those who have had years of experience and have provided ample yards and houses for each breed may be able to do this, but those who are net so arranged should never attempt to keep more than one. It is folly to expect to supply every kind of fowls which Individuals may ask for, and no one should attempt to do so. Select on pure breed one best suited to th needs of near-by markets tnd the on you fancy most Dispose of the moujrel fowls on the place and keep th breed pure. Each year select the beat males and females and again dispose of those that do not come up to all tlx? standard requirements. Year after ytur small defects will disappear and yor trill soon have a flock which will net only be handsome, but at the same tüi profitable. Don't try to supply all customers. Make a specialty of one Itlad and let your customers know ttat they can get nothing better

Jtban yoii can offer them. Wisconsin

To Feed a CnIC One Year. In an experiment to ascertain the cort of raising a calf Professor Shaw, of Michigan Station, took a dairy call end kept an accurate account of the expense of feeding for one year from Its birth. The amount of feeds xised In that time were 3SI pounds of whole milk, H.oCS pounds of skim milk, 2.2G0 pounds of silage, 219 pounds of beet pulp, 1.254 iounds of hay, 1,247 pounds of grain, 174 pounds of roots, 14 pounds of alfalfa meal and oO pound of green corn. Tbe grain ration consisted of three parts each of corn and oats and one part of bran and oil meal. At the end of the year the calf weighed 800 pounds at a cost of ?23.53 for feed. The calf was a Holstein.

w Tyj of Itomlivaj-. A no typo of roadway has been developed In some parts of California, Liiown as the petrolithlc, which Is nothing more or less than a well-built oiled road. The leading feature of this pavement. Is the very complete compacting of the oiled material by means of u rolling tamper, a new piece of road machinery. It Avas designed to Insure the tamping of the material from the lower portions upward to tbe surface, In6te:ia 0 downward from the surface. .The Inventor received tbe idea from Stelng a large flock of sheep walk over a mrwly plowed road. After the she-p bad passed over It tbe soil was found to be packed so hard that a pick indented it but a short distance. To obtain this effect with a roller the circumference of th main roll is covered with tampers, which act like so many feet walking over the earth and packing it down.

Corn In Illinois. In aa Interview recently, Doctor Cyril 0. Hopkins of the University of Illinois, at Urbana, remarked: "Some years ago corn was a stranger. Wo found It here when we came a nativ of the country, yet until fifteen yeSM ago we took It for granted. Then a close study of Its Individuality and peculiar characteristics demonstrated that it was possible to breed up corn Just as we Improve animals, although we have not yet learned how to control the male parent. The importance of this may be appreciated when wv remember that the corn crop of this country is worth $1,500,000,000 e very year 2,250,000 bushels. We are trying is got one ear cf corn to the Ktalk. That Is what we are working for, because some stalks are barren; we don't know why. Various people have various theories, but they have not been demonstrated. "Take a hundred ears of corn, plant them exactly alike, three kernels to the hill, the kernels from each ear in a row by themselves, In exactly the same soil, cultivate them the same way, and the yield will vary 100 ier cent. We cannot account for that variation. It is impossible thus to determine why some corn will grow and other corn will not; but in planting, a farmer should always use tbe seed from the best ears, because that Is likely to yield more than the poor ears. I'ut every ear of seed corn should be tested by a germinating pan during tb- winter. This is a new thing, but it Is being introduced rapUlly; all s-eed men and the better class of farmery are taking this precaution. None of tbe big corn planters will use any but tested seed. "We are teaching these methods to our students by practical exix-rlments conducted In twenty-five different counties oJ the State of Illinois, as well as on the campus of the university. The results have been most satisfactory, and they are appreciated by the farmer. We have a corn breeders' association in this State composed of twenty-Lve seed growers, and they are all working earnestly with us In breeding up the corn of Illinois to the very highest quality and the greatest

Anthropologists have remarked that taking aim is a human characteristic that even the anthropoid apes cannot Ik said to share. Apes and monkeys frequently thrown nuts and sticks, sometimes with unpleasant consequences to others, but they show little or .no ability to take accurate aim.

Ther Thrive on Grape .Nad. Healthy babies don't cry and the well-nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Xuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, GrapeXuts, and get well. "My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the condensed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. Oue of the doctors told me the only thing to do would be to try Grape-Xuts, so 1 got some and prepared It as follows: I soaked Vj tablespoonfuls In one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained GrapeXuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put In a pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it and gave it to baby every two hours. "In this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong, healthy child, rosy and laughing. The food must certainly be perfect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think It is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on and Is also a delicious healthful food for grown-ups, as we have discovered in our family."

crisis, isow tnat tne storm clouds nave roueu by, however, the Commissioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were, (i) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiting to East St. Louis has been issued to the Standard Oil Company, as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the 18-ccnt rate on file with the Interstate Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended to apply to oil, (3) that oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and East St Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hundred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the lawful rate, and (4) that the 18-ccnt rate on cil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between tficse points of a similar character, and of greater value, such, for example, 'as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffctt also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers between these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exerted a powerful influence upon the public mind. Nat-

Interstate Commerce Commission and olher departments of the Government We come back, therefore, to the conclusion of the whole matter, which is that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an amount equal to seven or eight times the value of its entire property, because its traffic department did not verify the statement of the Ahon rate clerk, that the six-cc-.it commodity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. There is no evidence, and none was introduced at the trial, that any shipment of oil from Chicago territory had been interfered with by the cighteen-ccnt rate nor that the failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rate had resulted in any discrimination against any independent shipper, we must take this on the word of the Commissioner of Corporations and of Judge Landis. Neither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the "independent" shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business

arrangement of long standing, and which applies by this discrimination of the Alton, could have

to all the industrial towns in the neighborhood shipped all the oil he desired to ship from V hit

nlied to Whitinjr. This was in iSqi when this

method of filing tariffs was in common use. Now let us see in what way the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not filed a rate reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that "concealment is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement," i. c, that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead intending competitors of the Standard Oil Company. Suppose such a prospective oil refiner had tpplicd to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, he would have been informed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was 6J4 cents from Dolton, and he would have been further informed, if indeed he did not know this already, that this rate applied throughout Chicago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whit

ing, or anywhere else about Chicago, under an

of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern

Illinois at Dolton and transported t East St Louis at a rate of 6ji cents. Where then is the

urally the Administration, which has staked the concealment which the Commissioner of Corpo-

euccess of its campaign against the trusts upon the result of its attack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and hcr.ee the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his rebuttal argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traffic department, and should .have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no answer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate because it read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which is described as "a village of about 1,500 population just outside of Chicago. Its only claim to note is that it has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates." The Commissioner admits in describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from .Whiting. The, press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corporations as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently

ing via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and

Eastern Illinois to Last bt Louis. In short. President Moffett's defence is still good, and we predict: will be so declared by the higher court. The Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner ti crimes and misdemeanors.

the Alton, or Harvey on the Illinois Central, or 'Beginning with tie famous Rice of Marietta,

Blue Island on the Rock Island, applies through

out Chicago territory to shipments from Whiting, as to shipments from any other point in the district. So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate from Dolton in order to deceive the shipper, it is the Commissioner of Corporations who either betrays his gross ignorance of transportation customs in Chicago territory or relies on the public ignorance of these customs to deceive the public too apt to accept unquestioningly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as in the present instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be fale. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Commissioner of Corporations discusses only with the remark that "the 'reasonableness of this rate is not in question. The question is whether this rate constituted a discrimination

In fact, it is as weak and inconclusive as the to produce before the grand jury evidence of the

remainder of his argument. The lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not run into

alleged illegal acts of which the Standard Oil

official said that other large shippers in the ter-

passing down to that apostle of popular liber

ties, Henry Demarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against the Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss Tarbell's offensive personalities we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless misrepresentation in the report of the Commissioner of Corporations. The Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years of strenuous attack, under the leadership of the President of the United States, the corporation is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its misdoings. The whole strength of the Government is directed against it, and at last, we are told, the Standard Oil Company is to pay the penalty of its crimes, and it is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measured by the car. Under the old criminal law, the theft of property worth mnre than a shilling was punishable by death. Under the interpretation of the Interstate Commerce law by Theodore R oosevelt and Judge Kenesaw Landis, a technical error of a traffic official is made the excuse for the confiscation of a vast amount of property.
