MEAT Farmers Bringing Considerable to The City. Throughout the entire state farmers are busily engaged in butchering. Since all kill more hogs than they are able to consume they must perforce bring the meat into the city to sell. Thus eAery farmer avIio has one or two butter and egg customers comes in each Saturday loaded with scrapple, head cheese, pigs' feet, etc., and other results of the butchering. This sudden influx of fresh meat has caused the demand for salted meats to decrease in a marked -degree, and this decrease is felt by all grocers and meat marketmen over the city. Fresh meat is higher than for a good many years. Growers say that there is a marked falling off in the demand for bacon and other salted meats. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Larsh. II. C.

SCOTT'S EMULSION makes pale, thin children fat and chubby. Overcomes wasting tendencies and brings back rosy cheeks and bright eyes. It's surprising how quickly children respond to Scott's Emulsion. It contains just the element of nourishment their little bodies need. They thrive on it. Even a few drops in the baby's bottle have a noticeable effect for good. Nothing better than Scott's Emulsion for growing children. Why do substitutes for Scott's Emulsion cost Iqss ? Because they're worth less. With one you wait in vain for the benefits you had looked for. In Scott's Emulsion you get them. It never disappoints. That's worth the few cents difference in cost.

We'll send you a sample free upon request. SCOTT & LQWXE, 400 Pearl Street, Xew. York.

HINTS FOIl FARMERS

The Agricultural Vremm. Before the science of agriculture, based upon geology, bcMiy, chemistry and physiology, was framed or express-' ed in common Avords farmers who were thoughtful and studious strove to base their work and explain the growth of crops upon certain changes iu the moon's phases. The plantings In "light or dark" moons were the honest efforts of seekers for light on a subject wrapped In darkness for ages. This folklore Is supposed to have grown out of the well knoAvn action of the moon upon tides. What vestige of truth may haA-e been concealed In this first theory of farming Ave may never learn because scientific investigation and results pofnt us to more certain methods. The agricultural press was the first great agent of instruction pointing the people to the reasonable causes of successful crop production. Gradually all papers and books have added their Influence against unsystematic fanning. The colleges and schools iioav all point to scientific agencies as a means of increase in farm production. Butthe agricultural press is still the bearer of the most technical farm facts based upon science. The farm paper is the "rural trade journal." dealing especially in the intricate subjects that make for profits and higher farm life. Under this instruction a small per cent of the farmers and stockmen the more intelligent-are no longer "chance farmers." These people are intelligent enough to form clear personal conclusions upon subjects about which they read. The trouble is that there are comparatively few readers of farm papers in the southwest. Farm and Ranch. Farmer Are Solid. In a recent address before the Pennsylvania state grange Judge Troutman said: "You farmers are as solid and substantial as the hills. All classes, whether rich or poor, must ultimately look to you for food and clothes. Your united oices as the result of your splendid organization are being heard by our legislators. You cannot be resisted and can demand as never before what you ask." Never Avas a truer statement made. Farmers realize more and more the significance of organization and co-operation In the preservation and extension of their everyday rights and interests. Farmers should increase their membership and efficiency In the grange and other co-operative movements in every section. We can hold the balance of poAVer in our own hands by looking after farm interests, as do the men back of large commercial and industrial enterprises. American Agriculturist. Horses and Farm Machinery. Improved machinery requires less horsepower for its operation. Ileapers and mowers are much lighter than formerly, and their gearing is arranged cn a more scientific basis. The self binding reaper is hauled by two horses, while the old reaper required four. Many one horse mowers are now in use which perform the work formerly accomplished by two horses. The two horse mowers are made to cut a wider swath. The improved plows enable a team to turn a twelve inch furrow, Avhen twenty years ago only two-thirds as wide could be turned. Similar advances have been made in all classes of farm appliances. The improvement in country roads, begun in the last decade, Trill result in making more effective the power of the work horse and will, therefore, still further reduce the number required to do the work of the farm. Apple Pomace For Cows. Experiments by the Vermont station show apple pomace a good ration for cows and greedily eaten by them in fact, to be quite equivalent in feedingvalue to corn silage when used as a partial substitute for that material. Both the Vermont and Massachusetts stations have fed from twenty-five to thirty-five pounds a day per cow with, entire satisfaction and continuously for five months, the milk flow being maintained remarkably well. Assuming that the pomace costs the farmer a dollar a ton, the Vermont station found apple pomace silage equally as good as corn eilage. It is suggested to avoid putting animals on full feed at once, but rather to accustom them to it gradually. The Potato Planter. The Kansas City World says that jthe potato planter of today Avould make Che farmer of a generation ago sit up and rub his eyes. It requires that the potatoes be supplied, but will do all the rest on its oAA'n initiative. It picks the potato up and looks it over or seems to cuts it into halves, quarters or any desired number of parts, separates the ycs and removes the seed ends. It plants Avhole potatoes or parts thereof, as desired, as near together or as far apart as the judgment of the farmer on the driving part suggests. Having dropped the seed, it covers it, fertilizes It, tucks it in like a child put to bed and paces off the next row with mathematical accuracy. f , Sorting: and Planting Corn. Something new, even In corn planting, is suggested by the work of Trofessor P. G. Holden of IoAva. His platj. In a word, requires the sorting by hand of seed corn and the planting of just the right number of grains in the hill or drill. He finds that in IoAva the best crops are obtained from an average of a little oA-er three stalks to Win hill. Northern corn could no doubt endure thicker planting. As to pickin;? over the kernels by hand, he reckons that a man can sort a bushel a day, enough seed for scA-en acres, and thitt the work will make $35 difference fn the crop where corn is 50 cents a bus el.
