During the past four or five years the department of agriculture at Washington hss issued bulletins giving account of some of the best managed farms of different tytes to be found in the country with the idea that such practical object leewons would be beneficial to otber farmers not meeting with so large a measure of success. The plan has seemed to be a decided success, and much interest has been manifested In the published bulletins. The latest to be put out by the department Is farmers' bulletin No! 364. which gives an account of a profitable cotton farm In South Carolina. Seven year ago, when the present owner took possession of this piece of land, it was a played out, rundown proposition., a type, of scores to be found in the coKoja belt, producing but five to eight bushels of corn or 300 pounds of seed cotton pet acre. The methods adopted for its regeneration were a deep and thorough cultivation of the soil, the use of barnyard manure and some commercial fertilizers, toe rotation of crops and the exercise of industry and good judgment on the part of the owner. The farm contains 132 acres, only half of which is devoted to crops. The first year the new methods were tried one and one-half bales of cotton and thirty-seven bushels of corn were produced per acre. At present the owner gets a yield of two and one-iuarter bales of cotton, eighty live busbels of corn and eighty bushels of oats per acre. He keeps twentyfour bead of native rattle, mainly for the manure, though they give him a small profit besides. From a discouraging and bankrupt proposition this farm nas been brought to the point where It yields a large Income and a handsome profit. The bulletin, which may be had by writing one's repre sentative or senator or to the department at Washington, should be in the hands 'of every cotton state farmer who Is not making the most of his agricultural opportunities. It will give him light. TIME TO WAKE UP. It is becoming more apparent every day to those who have a thought for the future welfare of our varied and extensive horticultural Interests that congress should take up at an early date serious consideration of laws which will secure a stringent and thorough Inspection of fruits and all kinds of nursery stock brought Into the country or shipped from state to state. Measures of this kind have been before congress at previous sessions, but somehow the nurseryman has seemed to have a bigger pull than the enormous fruit growing Interests of the country. If s time this thing was turned about and the large class who suffer from the shipment of diseased nursery stock were given a hearing. These people have representatives at Washington; nut, as In a good many other aastaaeea. It Is the "other fellow." the sperm! Interest chap, whose claims are ftsst considered. To show the need of she enactment of a law of the easractsr referred to, there may be cited bwd many Instances the Importation last year on pear and apple seedlings tsesa Prance of numer ous seam of the brown tailed moths, the worst Insect nest known, and the scattering of It aH over the country. Much the same thing took place In the case of the European scale, resembling the San Jose scale, which was likewise .scattered broadcast. These are eases in which an ounce of prevention a worth a pound of cure and costs but an Infinitesimal part as much. A number of states have stringent Inspection regulations, not these only effect a partial relief. Such laws should he made nation wide. OPENINGS FOR HUSTLERS. Opportunities for cheap land that has real value are about gone. Heucefmth the c ni falsa of those who do not go to Canada or e las wbsn will have to be devoted to a bet let handling of lands already under cultivation ot the restoratloa of those which havs beea rsduptd to Jankruptcy. ttvamrji

long couvruueu noil rJUGery. While there would be discouragements at the start, it would seem that along this line there are many, good openings In eastern and southern states for any man who has the grit and Intelligence necessary to succeed In a pioneer prop osition. The regeneration mentioned can le effected through a more thor ough cultivation of f be soil, the use of natural and commercial fertilizers, the adoption of a crop rotation which should Include one of the legumesclover, alfalfa, field pens or beans and a cbnnge from the selling of the raw products of the farm to marketing the finished products In the shape of beef. mutton, pork, poultry, dairy products. etc. Many a farm in the sections mentioned Is being made over by tbej adoption of these methods, and hun dreds of others may be if the right man n?t bold of them. Two or three small pieces of blue vitriol will kill the bacterial life that is responsible for the bad smells in the soft water cistern. The presence of some forms of vege table life in the soil seems to be a poi son to others. For Instanne. cockle burs In a piece of soil bare been found to be very detriments! to a growth of red clover. It is better for a fellow's satisfac tion and peace of mind if be doesn't Inquire too closely just bow much his prairie chickens or partridges cost bin; in time and mouey the first day of t b. open season. The largest apple of wblcb there I; autnenuc reeera was a suectinou ot the Wolf river variety exhibited at the national apple show at Spokane lam December, which measured seventeen and one-half inches in circumference. It need not be added that it was Just as poor in quality as it was large. The safest as well as most effective method for the disposal of the car casses of animals that hare died of disease is to burn them completely. This may take a bit more time, bnt It will keep dogs or ether scavengers from uncovering and scattering the re mains about as a fruitful source ot contagion. According to a London paper, the grouse moors ot Scotland yield a rev enue to rentals of from f 1.UW to S2JMh annually. The practice of letting the moors seems to hove started In 1805. wnea was receivea jot one near Pitlochry, bnt for twenty or more years after this the revenues amounted to little or nothing. " Recent Inspection of a great many news or tilled crops corn, potatoes, etc seems to indicate without excep tion that the poorest crops are to be found on the fields which have been given least cultivation and bear the largest and rankest crop of weeds. There's a vital conoectioo here that a good maay tillers of the soil ought to be waking up to. A farslghtod landlord we once knew used to hurry up the fall plowing by offering bis tenant a premium of so much per acre for all of the plow land that was turned under before the 1st of September. Under this phu the tenant was forehanded, while a whole lot of weeds were kept from seeding and footing the land for the following year.

Forty -two states, Oasmsa and Mexico will exhibit their varied horticultural prod acts. Prises aggregating g3&000 will be awarded In a great many differ ent classes. It Is the slm ot the direct ors of the association to make the congress Instructive and entertaining to tn greatest desjree posslblt. Any desiring te enter vegetables, ants. fruits or Sowers should address the superintendent, F. L. Reed. Council Bluffs, la. Some private aad co operative creamerieo in Illinois aud other dairy states are following a plan which does much to encourage patrons to Increase the site of their dairy nerds. The plan consists In helping the patron to select good cows sod in leading him money with which to boy other cows. Onehalf of the iiaount of his subsequent milk eherKR 1s withheld until the cows bought are paid for. This plan not only gives the farmer ot small means a urt. but is a direct beneot to the creamery whose volume of business is thereby increased. Within reasonable limlb this plan would seem to be most excellent. Fifty-one millions of dollars is given as the eiteat of the damage to chest nut trees in portions of New York. New Jersey and Connecticut, near New York city, from a bark disease which has been found to be of fungous origin. In Forest park. Brooklyn, alone 16.000 trees bare succumbed to the pest. The department of agriculture has made a study of the disease and suggests as means of prevention that all nursery stock shipped be Inspected and that all affected trees be eut down and com pletely burned In the shape of fuel and brush. It is thought that this disease camejfrom Japan la sblpmenta of nursery stock, though the fact has not been fully established. Radical measures sometimes have to be adopted to stamp out diseases among farm animals. During the recent outbreak of the foot and month disease In some of the eastern states the plague was discovered in a berd of 12t$ cattle near Lssalle. M. Y. A soon ss the government Inspectors were notified they bad a trench dug 10 feet wide. 8 feet deep and 173 feet long. The herd was driven close to the edge of this pit and snot, the bodies. toppling over Into It or being pushed in and later covered with sev eral feet of earth. Measures of this kind impose a heavy loss on the owner of Infected herds, but only In such way can a spread of plagues be prevented. The chief drawback wtthT the best hired men that one can get Is that they are likely to possess brains aad energy enough so that Just as soon aa possible they like to go Into on their own book. While It Is not an Infallible sign. If Is usually the case that the fewest weeds are found on toe farms wnlca ere best and most profitably mansged. as the strength of soil consumed in producing them cannot bo utilized by growing crops. e If the young pigs are and break down on the way to market or before. It is pretty good evidence that the ration given tnem has not bad enough bone forming material In It. This is Just as necessary aa the fat and flesh forming elements and may be provided by feeding the pigs wood or cob charcoal and ashes during the growing period. The temper and disposition of the cow are largely determined by the care she receives as a heifer. This Is brought to mind by n fine little Jersey nelfer we know of that was bothered by some thoughtless little girls. She hss sharp horns and now makes for any girl of the same size who nsppens to come near ber. A bad habit baa been formed, and the horns will nave to come off. Argentina exports more beef to the United Kingdom than does the United States, and no small part of her abil ity to do this lies In the 9.000,000 acres of alfalfa which at present furnish much of the forage for ber beef cattle. It takes from one to two acres of the legume to carry a mature steer through the year. The best steers raised are sold for export and fetch the grower about $50 per bead. For two or three veara naet ahoen. men of the southwest have sustained some loss from what la atvled bv the Mexicans "plngne." an ailment result ing xrom the eating of the rubber Plant or weed. While lirfl avatem. a tic study has been given the disease, a ranger on the Carson national forest reserve In New Mexico has tried drenches of hot water and salt with very good success, the drenches being given every hour until the anlmaia snowed improvement. Speedy relief followed the appacation of the remedy, wblcb. to say the least. Is cheap and harmless. , It is frequently stated by those op posed to the tuberculin test ss a means of ridding dairy needs of tuberculosis that If the tuberculin is Injected Into the system of aa animal not affected It will contract the disease aa a cones quence. This misconception see ma to overlook the fact that the culture which is used In making the test is thoroughly and completely sterilized before It la used, making n contraction of the disease In this manner by a healthy animal aa Impossibility. More over, the extensive use of the tuberculin in testing hundreds of dairy herds gives practical proof that healthy ani mals do not conci net the disease In the The farmers wives hi a section of the small gram belt this year sre oa strike in the matter of furnishing sumptuous spreads for from fifteen to twenty thrashing hands and dedans that hereafter thrashing crews that come to their places will have to bring along their own mess tent and cook. Ifs a wonder this strike hasn't come r, as la good conscience the aver age farmer's wife has enough to do la the line of routine duties without being swamped with cooking for thrashers. feature that hss made a bad matter la the past Is the fact that there been a bit of rivalry between the housewives of some localities to bear 1909.
