FARM AND GARDEN

Apples tliat are being stored for winter cannot be handled too carefully. Dry-cornstalks make very poor feed for cattle, but used In the silo In proper condition, they are valuable. Where too large a proportion of the farm is kept under plow the soil soon becomes impoverished and unproductive. The young stock should be given plenty of good bright hay and some bran "t and middlings to keep them growing and make good bone. What a splendid thing It is that the tastes of men vary so much, If every- | body liked the same breed of hogs, for example, and the same breed of cattle and horses, wthat a monotonous showing It would be at our big fairs. The man wlio likes the Berkshlres has little use for the Poland China or the Duroc, and vice versa, and each has his followers. On the farm there should be a place for everything. If all the minutes wasted searching for tools that are t hurriedly wap ted fpr use could be computed they would amount Into hours, * and even days, In the course of a.year. A convenient place for every tool, from n mowing machine to a screwdriver, would save much often the case that tools must be pur- ~ chased because those used the year before have been placed where they cannot be found.

■ Points in Dairying. It Is claimed that dairying exhausts the soil unless considerable food materials are brought on the farm, which Is a fact easily sustained, but hundreds of dairymen produce upon their farms all the food required for their cattle. The farm may not be as liable to loss of fertility by dairying as when It Is devoted exclusively to tbo growing cereals, but It can be exhausted of certain elements, which are carried away tn the milk sold, and which are not returned In the manure. Milk Is a complete food, being rich in nitrogen and mineral matter. This Is derived from the food, whether it be grass or grain, ■ end milk is as much a product as any other substance'that leaves the farm. It is nothing more nor less than the changed fopn of the food consumed, and as milk can only be produced from food, It Is the result of the conversion of one Into another of a more concentrated and salable character. When the food Is converted Into milk much of [ the nitrogen, phosphates and potash pass Into the milk. The manure also ' consists of a proportion of the foods, but the larger proportion of the valu- . able elements of food must of necessity assist to create milk, and the fact

Is also demonstrated that, while we may be blessed with an abundance of manure, the value depends upon Its quality and not upon the bulk. Live. Stock Quality. Every farmer should possess a knowledge of the qualifications of his stock. Public tests of celebrated dairy cows may be of but little value'“to the average farmer, as he does'Sot practice the modes of feeding during such tests, nor give the same care and management to his stock. But the tests are valuable, as indicating what an animal can be forced to do If the conditions essential to success are Complied with. The farmer’s business Is to discover what are the conditions essential to success. He may have the examples of others as guides, which will materlalt ly assist him, but there are conditions, however, peculiar to his own circumstances, to which ho must conform, and tn which no one can assist him. His soil, climate, buildings, water, shade, quality of pasture, method of feeding and kinds of foods used are*all Important facto® to be considered. So far as the denial of the utility of public tests Ik concerned the fact remains that they serve as lights in the direction of which all must steer. It signifies nothing that the product of the cow rtiay apparently exceed the nutritive value Df the food consumed, but the figures / point unerringly to the possible realization of the objects sought, and, though the high-pressure public tests may be of the kind not approved of by the farmer, yet they open up to him a wide Bold for reflection, and teach him that, while he may not hope to equal such, yet he must also test his stock, If he Is to succeed, without regard to capacity. la-ftartt.- - - - The general principles of heredity formulated by Mendel give much promise In the way of crop Improvement through more systematic methods of breeding. It Is believed by many biologists, says Harper’s Magazine, that Mendel’s law offers In part it solution to some'of the perplexing problems in plant and animal Improvement It Is too early, however, to predict what benefits can reasonably be expected from Its application. This law at- *

tempts to reduce to a mathematical basis the characteristic of the progenj of plants and animals; a certain per centage having the individual charae teristles of 1 each parent, and a certain percentage the blended character lstlcs of both parents. It is not toe much to expect that the proposed law, With modifications, will do much tc place tie science of plant breeding upon a rational basis. In the case of corn, careful selections of seed has resulted in the production of plants which have a tendency to produce an additional ear, thereby increasing the yield 10 to 25 pei cent. Also ears of larger size land more'uniform character are secured by breeding and selecting the seed dorn. One of the best examples of the 1 Improvement of a ( crop by—selection ‘jand breeding is the sugar beet, wMch ( hae been developed from the common stock of garden beets that contiln only a small amount of saccharine materia] and are unsuitable fur the manufacture of sugar, until high-grade beets containing 10 to 18 per cent of sugar -are scctuefl. -——. v ; ~ Incubator Chicken*. In * a bulletin last spring by Prof. Gowell, of the Maine station, the writer says: Where an' appetizing bran mash was once given hot and the hens gorged on it, became fat, laid Boftshelled eggs and learned to eat them up, now the same materials were kept before them all the time in dry form, and while they ate-what they needed and used the time necessary to grind coarser feed In making eggs,- they were not overfed. This, combination =ls 200 pounds wheat bran, 100 each of cornmeal, linseed, gluten, middlings and meat scrap. Bight quarts whole grains are given dally.

The hens are kept In pens with three sides built of double walls filled with sawdust, fourth, facing the south, having two windows and a space 10x3 feet that Is open all day and closed at night -by canvas door. A warm bedroom Is built, the floor being raided three feet from the floor of the pen; here the birds roost at night and are shut In with another canvas door. Ventilators at the top furnish air. Conditions are ideal, no dampness anywhere, and the hens have vigor and vitality. Eggs are more meaty and hatch* better. ■ Chicks are fed grit first, then small, fluid grains and a dry mash, very similar to that furnished the hens.

Cockerels are separated at ten weeks, fed a moist, appealing mn«h mwi ready for xnnrkot" at twelve weeks. Pullets are then accustomed to their brooder houses and then let out on the range, troughs of the dry grains being always near, clean water also available. Work at the experiment station poultry plant Is progressing well. About 500 chicks have been hatched and twelve incubators of 860-egg capacity are being .run at full capacity. The colony brooder houses have been made ready for the young chicks, and with a continuation of good weather It Is expected that this spring’s work will be very successful. About 2,000 birds will bo reared this spring.

Value of Compost. At the North Louisiana Experiment Station, Calhoun, La., the following results were obtained. The land, normally, would produce one-fourth bale of cotton, and seven to ten bushels of cbm.* By the annual application of' thirty bushels per acre of a compost, composed of stable manure, cotton seed, acid phosphate and loam, this yield has been increased from one-fourth to one and one-half bale of cotton apd fifty to sixty bushels of corn. The annual expense of applying this compost amounted to a little over $V per acre. Build a shed of any kind, out of old material for a root. It It leaks some, all the better. Spread on the ground In a layer ten Inches thick ten bushels of stable manure, wetting thoroughly. Over this scatter 100 pounds of acid phosphate; then follow with another laser of manure and phosphate, etc.; continue these alternate layers until all material Is used up, or until the pile has become Inconveniently high; then cover the pile, berm top and sides! with four Inches of forest mold or good loam, taken from the fence corners. If stable manure or mold are not available, use straw, leaves or any waste material, even weeds. Be Bui'S and wet all thoroughly. After the heap has stood from four to sls weeks It should then be worked over and well mixed. This Is best done by beginning at ono end aud cutting it down vertically, throwing the material In a pile behind. Wet again and cover again with loam. It will be ready for use In three or four weeks.

The above proportions are for use with cotton. Where It Is desired for corn the quantity of phosphate can be reduced; use only fifty pounds Instead of 100 to each layer. Thirty bushels or one two-horse wagon load, per acr4 of this compost will produce very marked resultß. When this quantity Is used It la best applied In the drill, Just prior to planting. If preferred, the rows can marked off, the compost distributed In this furrow and then bed It Be careful, however, not to bury It too deep. It Is safe to estimate that this quantity of inch a compost will more than doable the crop am poor land the first year.

DROP IN STOCK PRICES.

The Farmer I* Gettln* VUcber M< (he Speculator Poorer. Wheat and corn are going op and stocks are going doWn, writes William B. Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald. The farmer is getting richer and the speculator poorer—which many people will agree is in the line of eternal justice. Stocks are lower now than tpey have been for several years. They ere now down practically where they were at the time of McKinley’s election, when “The Era of Prosperity” set in. The decline has been general, affecting almost everything in the list of securities available to the public, and Wall street statisticians declare that the total shrinkage amounts to at least $3,500,000,000. But the value of the property these stocks represent, and their earning capacity has not been impaired. In most cases the dividends will "not be affected; the shrinkage only represents water that has been squeezed out and the speculators are practically the only sufferers. The permanent investor who has locked ityis certificates up in a tin box and put theta away in the safe deposit Vault Is not likely to suffer from the present shrinkage. His property Is worth just as much as it ever was, but the certificates no longer have the fictitious value given them by the gamblers. —; • The slump is by no means confined to New York or to American securities. It, has been general all over the world. British, French, German, Italian, Indian and South American shares have ’ suffered a marked decline, althoughxiujao case has it been so sharp as may be seen in the quotations of American industrials. London and Northwestern railroad stock has dropped twenty-two points, shares in the copper mines of Spain have fallen twentyfour points, those of the Great Eastern railway of England are twenty points lower. than they were at the beginning of this year. British consols have dropped 6 per cent; Japanese, Chinese, Russian, South African, Egyptian and Indian railway seourities and government bonds have all fallen off from 3 to 20 per cent, while South African mining stocks are 27 per cent below the quotations for Jan. 2, 1907. French railway and bank stocks have sympathized with the general depression and in Germany the same conditions prevail. The stock of the Bank of 'France and the Credit Lyonnais of Paris, 'Which are among the strong institutions in the world, sympathize with less valuable securities and show a decline of several ser cent Therefore American Investors should not feel at all uneasy, but should congratulate themselves that by this universal shrinkage -they have escaped the perils of a local panic.

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Three Chinese girls, wards of the Emperor, have arrived at Wellesley College, being the first Chinese women to be sent to America to be educated. Under Vermont’s new law common school districts are in process of enlargement and concentratio^fo^^ereve^wo I large part of the salary of“suwPfPJfc*. He Alumni Association of Houston, Texas, has raised funds and established a dining room in the high school, which is one of the best of its kind in the coun try. This addition gives the students who are talcing domestic science an opportunity not only to prepare the meals, but to serve them.

Editor Page of the World’s Work is advocating the establishment of a school for authors in connection with the universities. He holds that writing is a trade like any other, and that those who pro pose to follow it should receive a regular* course of instruction. lie would have each' poet student compelled to write a sonnet a day for one term, and each prose student 1,000 words, the course to extend over three or four years. In its annual report on the statistics of cities having a population of over 30,000, the Census Bureau presents a very interesting table showing the costs of free public schools, including in such costs the interest on investments in school buildings and grounds. These vary from 7 cents per capita in Charleston, S. C., and 22 cents in Atlanta, Ga., to $1.33 in Denver, Colo.; to $1.43 in Newton, Mass., and $1.53 in Spokane. Wash.

The New York City Board of Ediica tion has appointed a special committee of three to inquire of the teachers whether the abolishment of corporal punishment in public schools has been beneficial or detrimental in maintaining order and respect. Should the concensus of opinion be adverse to the present methods, it is proposed to rartdre the rod io its former position in the schools of the city. Complaints have recently come from some teachers that they are unable to maintain order because the supervising force la pojybrless to inflict punishment for offenses affecting general behavior.

In Missouri the condition of public School teachers seems even less satisfactory. J. M. Greenwood, president of the State Teachers’ Association, says the average pay of men teachers is $325 a year, and of women teachers $319 a year. The average for the country schools alone is considerably lower. In some country districts teachers receive less than half the compensation of unskilled labor. There is said to be a constant stream of the best of the Maine teachers going to other ?arts of New England, to New York and to _ the West. Presumably this stream does not head toward Missouri. The attendance last year at the Maine normal school was less than for several years. The reason for this is apparent.—Hartford Couract. According to a report of the Brooklyn (Mass.) Teachers’ Association, as published in the Lawrence Telegram, there is a decided sentiment throughout the State favoring a system of promotion by subjects instead of grades in the secondary schools. It is also felt that a liberal education course should be devised, to take fifteen years in its completion Instead of ten years, as at present. The Telegram remarks that if the> attempt to have the National Educational Association adopt tills report is successful a change nothing short of revolutionary will soon be in fora iv our national educational system.

Political Comment,

PuttiiiK n«o»ev*lt at the Head. The United States Is glad of the appreciation which it is receiving at The Hague conference. M. Xelidoff, the head of that gathering, has approved tilie draft of the conference which was submitted to him by the special committee, in which President Roosevelt is mentioned as the chief author and promoter of the\ gathering. This is “very agreeable to us, anti better still, it i 3 true history. Every member of the conference lias 'given his signature to this tribute which has accorded to the Uuited States’ executive the chief honor for the holding of the present Hague gathering. It was during the St. Louis world’s fair of 1904 that the present conference had its origin. The Interparliamentary Union rnejt in St. Louis that year, and a Missouri man, Hon. Richard Bartboldt, was the prejjdent of the union. That body was composed of members of the parliaments of all the principal nations of the world and of many of the smaller ones. Our Parliament, necessarily, was represented by .many of its members, and. a Missouri man was put at the, head. The union ilsked President .JasaiA n call for a new Hague gatliering, to supplement the work done by that of 1899, and to consider new questions which have arisen since that body adjourned, and to take note of other questions were before that body, but, which assumed new aspects afterward. Mr.' Roosevelt issued the call, and the conference which is closing at The Hague is a conao. quence. The compliment which The Hague has extended to the United States is bestowed on the country to which it belongs. The conference of 1899 originated with Nicholas 11., but it did little, and in the lapse of a year or two was forgotten. Europe seemed to be anxious to let Its memory drop out when the United States stepped in and injected life Into the tribunal. The United States did this by referring to it a dispute which we had with Mexico, and thus the world’s attention was directed anew to The Hague. That issue was settled satisfactorily to both parties to it, and then Mr. Roosevelt took the steps which led to the present gathering. When the Nobel prize was given

to the President a few months ago for his work in the cause of world peace the world applauded the act. The world will also recognize the correctness of the tribute to the President which The Hague has now rendered, and the United States wins a new victory in the cause of peace.—St. Louis Hkfiobe-Democrat. What Revision Means. “Business interests need not be alarmed. The Republican national convention to meet next June will declare unequivocally for a protective tariff and against throwing the American market open to foreigners.”

Thus speaks the Des Moines Capital. That assurance will not, however, prevent a serious disturbance of business when the hauling over of tariff schedules begins. The charge Is made that some of the schedules are too high. No particulars are given. So the minute the onslaught begins all protected interests will be in a nervous state; retrenchment will be In order, factories will slow' down, workmen will be discharged, and business of all classes will show an unhealthy tone during tlie uncertainty of the tariff discussion. And then, after It Is ail over and another compromise bill Is adopted, the country will again struggle back to its present condition of prosperity. Meanwhile the people will have experienced a slump that will cause them to wonder If, after all, the present schedules were not all right and that It would have been better to stand pat.—Burlington Hawkeye. - —.

“Help Wanted.” Reports show that work is waiting for 256,400 persons.—Washington Dispatch. Come, ail you men who want to work, there’s jobs and jobs galore; p The country's full of workers, but it needs a million more. There’s-a hearty Welcome waiting from the Golden Gate to Maine For those prepared to work their way with two good hands or brain. It matters not your creed or raee, your station or your birth, So long as you can Qll the job—the onlytest of worth. There’a work for men in thousands, jobs all along the line, In field and farm and factory, in lumber woods and mine. The shirkers aren’t wanted, nor any of the dross Need the signal of the whistle or the urging of the boss; . But the ever-ready workers, let ’em come in bigger mobs— There’s work and welcome waiting Tor the men can fill their jobs. —New York American. The number of children's playgrounds is Increasing rapidly in many cities. Recent statistics, covering 24 cities between 25,000 and 300,000 population, show there has been in two years an Increase of 04 per cent In school playgrounds, 48 per cent in park and municipal playgrounds, and a total Increase of ail kinds of playgrounds of 54 per cerit In that period. The most valuable crop in the Philippines is hemp; rice comes next, followed by tobacco. The export of Manila cigars amounts to nearly f1,000,000 a year and the home consumption la probably larger.

IS NOT WORKING WELL

ONE-SIDED BENEFIT OF THE GERMAN TRADE AGREEMENT Enormom Increnxc In Our Importstlom of Competitive Articles Indicate Plainly that the German* Are Cert’nß the Dent ol the Bargain. v Indications are at hand (if the workings of the German trade agreement In the second month of its operation. It will be remembered that for the first mouth, July, there was an increase of alxrat $3,000,000 in competitive imports from Germany, as compared with ? i’y, 1900. Official .statistics showing the importations of dutiable articles „for August have not yet been given out by the Department of Commerce ami Labor,but there is reason to believe that,,a substantial increase over July will be shown. From a single consular district in Germany some heavy increases in competitive exports to the Uuited States, as compared with August, 1900, are resported. In artificial flowers .. the increase Is more than 150 per cent; in china and earthenware, more than 400 per cent; in cotton goods, nearly 100 per cent; in glassware, about 45 per cent; in metal goods, about 150 per cent; while of paper and paper goods the export is nearly ton times.as great as it was iu August a year ago. All of these increases are in values only, quantities not being indicated. 11 is, therefore, not possible to determine the extent to which German exporters have taken advantage of the ‘‘export price privilege and have invoiced their goods to their own agents in the United States at prices far below the current wholesale market prices of'equivalent articles in Germany. It is safe to presume, however, that this “priceless privilege” lias not been neglected” and that not only has the undervaluation permit been used to greatly augment the entered Invoice values of the total exports, but that, by reason of cut prices, there has been an increase in total quantities much larger than is indicated in the reported valuations.

It would seem that at the expiration of nearly sixty days since the authority to determine dutiable values was taken away from American appraising officers and turned ov*er to local chambers of commerce made up of the very persons most interested in evading honest tariff payments, the authorities at Washington ought to be able to present n statement, for July at least, that will show what the Increase of imports lias been In quantities as well as In entered values. That Is what Is wanted. Values alone do not tell the w hole story.

For example, if the Invoice values of pottery exports from a single consular ■w/i'ci tsi "export price” undervaluation privilege, from $40,000 iu August, 1006, to 5200,000 In August, 1907, how much more than that have quantities Increased? We will suppose that in August of last year, when honest market values were ascertained by consuls and special agents, and tarlffecPfcoeordingiy, a certain quality of cups and saucers were invoiced correctly at 75 cents a dozen. But In Afigust, 1907, the German potter is permitted to consign to his own agent In New York the same quality of goods at a lower price.” Then It may easily turn out —and it undoubtedly will —that while the custom bouse Invoices show five times the values of pottery exports as compared with August, 1906, eight or ten times the quantity of earthenware will have been actually exported to the American market.

If it be not true that quantities have .increased under the German agreement in far greater proportion than values; If the undervaluation privilege of “export prices” is not being used ; if values voluntarily fixed by exporters are as honest as values were when determined by the evidence of consuls, special agents and direct importers; If, in short, the new deal Is not yielding an enormous harvest of revenue frauds, of tariff evasions and of unfair competition with American labor and Industry, then no time should be lost In making that fact known. The statistical experts of the Department of Commerce and Labor sliould get busy. The country has a right to the truth and It wants to know the truth without unnecessary delay.—American Economist.

The Worth of the Tariff. A recent consular report shows briefly and well jvhat kind of competition the tarlfT Is keeping away from the American manufacturer. Consul Harris, In a report on factory Inspection In the grand duchy of Baden, says: "In the Black Forest clock Industry a working day of from 14 to 16 hours Is common; also In many other Industries. In tboodty of Pforzheim, which Is a center of an enormous jewelry manufacture, the average dally wages for adult females Is said to be 38 cents, and In the surrounding villages 31 cents, while the average dally wages at female chalnmakers Is 46 cents, and in other branches of Jcjfelry manufacture is 45 cents. The average daily wages of burnishers of silverware at Carlaruhe Is 79 cents, while that of other female employes of the factory fit that city Is 80 cents, and In the surrounding villages 31 cents. Adult females working at their homes for a metal ware factory at Bohrenbach earn an average of 45 cents per day, while the average paid for female labor In that locality is 33 cents per day.”—Attleboro (Mass.) Bun.

The Du Ponts had planned a wedding trip in a motor car, bat when the young husband learned of the disaster he came directly to the scene. Mrs. Du Pont knew no one in Terre jflaute, but she has plunged into the work of comforting the injured and bereaved with a will, and aside from luncheon at the Country -Club she has accepted no social invitations. Mrs, Du Pont carried a bunch of carnations to each victim in the.hospital and had baskets of fruit delivered to each. Mr. Du Pont is encountering bitter opposition among the people at Fontanet, because there have been many explosions in the past. At the time i>f the disaster a suit was pending in court to abate the mill as a menace to life. -——* INDICT OFFICIAL AS GRAFTER. Indianapolis Mayor’* Aid Charged with PaddlnK Pay $40,000 Flee*. Harry P.

He is now a fugitive. Brunaugh went to the bank early one morning, drew out a large sum of money, and has not since been seen, though the sheriff's deputies have been searching the city for him. kt was shown to the jury that the fra mis aggregated nearly SIO,OOO in the month of July alone, and that similar frauds had been perpetrated for several months before the city engineer made the discovery. It is believed that the city has" been defrauded of over $40,000.
