The scrub farmer will do well to ronfine his attention to scrub stock and not launch Into the business of raising full bloods, which to do well must have first class care. Light weight In seed grain usually means a shriveled berry and low vi tality. Herein lies the Justification of the use of the fanning mill In the cleaning of all small grain Intended tor seed. While a cypress or cedar hedge about a place has Its drawbacks. It furnishes an ideal retreat for many species of interesting birds that fre quent It continually, making their nests ant; rearing tbelr young therein. The untllled orchard or berry patch means not only a checking of the growth and a reducing of the pro ductive capacity of tree and bush, but It also means an unmolested harbor and place of retreat for tbelr many Insect enemies. The service which birds render to man as insect destroyers can hardly be measured. For this practical serv ice alone, If there were not other grounds, some pains may well be tak en to see that nesting places are pro vided or left for them about the premises. It would be better for folks' stom achs as well as their pocketbooks If they should reduce their meat ration and substitute therefor as a breakfast ration some of the excellent cereals which are to be bad at reasonable prices. One of the results of this change in diet would be a much great er relish for the meat rations of the ether meals of the day.

In France on roads which are as good as engineering skill can make them a single horse will haul 3,300 pounds at a load as against 1,400 pounds per horse over the level dirt roads In this country and 1,000 pounds over hilly dirt roads. There would seem to be abundant evidence In these figures that It pays a country or com munity to have firm and level high ways. Publishers of magazines and the reading public would view In better spirit an Increase In pound postage rates (the brunt of which would fall on the Individual subscribers) if con gressmen and other folks engaged In the public service were not enjoying a franking privilege which makes It pos slble for them to transport free of charge anything from private corre spondence to poodle dogs, fireless cook' ers, pianos and automobiles. Until lately pea vines, the byproduct of pea canneries, were a waste prod uct, the handling of which Involved a good deal of expense. As a result of experiments which have been conduct ed by the federal department of agri culture It has been found that these same vines can be made into a bay that Is considered better than clover hay and Is a satisfactory feed for cat tle, horses and sheep, while they may be converted into a silage which makes an excellent ration for dairy cows. The vines may be cured best by spreading them on sod land, giving a forage crop which Is worth from $3 to $5 per ton. The Jack rabbit nicely Illustrates the protective coloration with which na ture has provided certain animals as a partial means of protecting them from their natural enemies through a change In the color of the coat with the change of season to harmonize with the general tone coloring of their surroundings. In countries of snow fall the Jack's summer coat Is of a brownish dun color which corresponds very closely to the color of the grass and brush and leaves. In winter his coat changes to pure white with the exception of the black tip of bis tall, though in sections where there la no snow the winter coat Is not materially different from that of the summer. For planting In northwestern state the Norway poplar gives promise of being a most valuable tree. It Is a quick grower, making a diameter of from six to ten Inches In eight or nine years; Is hardy, does well under a great variety of conditions, possesses smooth and straight grain and can be used for a variety of outdoor and Indoor purposes and for butter work ers, berry boxes, wagon and buggy boxes. The tree may be propagated by soaking the cuttings In water for a week before planting. They should be planted large end down about five Inches dep and In rows 5 by 7 feet apart In mellow soil and cultivated during the first two or three years, after which the trees will shade the A woman will work her fingers off and be cheerful and light hearted about it If she la now and then made to feel that the service ahe renders Is appreciated. Spoken appreciation costs the one who give It nothing. In fact. It enlarges his nature and, on the other hand. Is as rain to thirsty plants to those on whom It is bestowed. The state of Minnesota has 10,000 quarter aectlona of land subject to homestead entry. Much of thla land Is good for farming purposes, but be fore being filed on should be carefully Inspected when there Is no anow on the ground. Information regarding homestead lands over the country may be secured by writing the department of the interior, Washington. While a calf may have nothing but sklmmilk from birth and make a go of It, It will never be the calf It might hare been had It been started on new milk and gradually changed to a sklm milk ration re-enforced by a handful of oil meal at each feed and later by oats and shelled corn. Scrimping the feed of the calf In order to sell a little more cream or butter Is not a good plan for any animal which la being raised for profit. There seems to be an extraordinary demoralization In the spud market, due to last year's unusually heavy crop and a holding of a large per cent of It close to the time when new potatoes will be on the market Not withstanding the slump In prices, no good reason will exist for reducing the acreage of the tubers materially, as enough will be led to do this to mate rially raise the price for those who stay In the business on the same scale. Before the present year's growth of the shade trees gets well started It will be a good Idea to Inspect those bordering the public highway and to prune the limbs hanging down over walks and driveways. It la not cal culated to Induce kindly feelings In the lady next door If she has the feath ers on her best hat knocked loose by one of these overhanging limbs nor to promote the religious Instincts of the fellow who has his eye punched while riding by on a load of hay or double box wagon- There Is probably no type of farm ing or ranching that Is more remu nerative or accompanied with lesa risk one year with another than the growing of alfalfa. Especially is this true in and near sections whose area Is largely devoted to some other pur poseas, for Instance, fruit raising, for uniformly high prices can be secured for the hay owing to the limited sup ply raised. Here is a fine opportunity for many an energetic fellow who likes farming, but doesn't like to put up with the exacting care which the raising of fruit entails. Where possible a first hand inspec tion of the nursery stock which on buys Is advisable, for In such case one not only has opportunity to size up the general appearance of the stock, but to examine the type of roots which the stuff has. which Is of more Importance than any other factor. And this holds whether the order be of small fruit. bushes, vines, fruit trees or ever greens. The root of a plant or tree Is the capital with which it starts in the business of growing, and if this capl tal be lacking Its operations are bound to be limited and unsatisfactory. While conditions vary greatly In dif ferent sections of the country affect ing the care which ought to be given to newly set fruit trees. It is the ver dict of the best experience that they should be given most thorough culti vation, with no crop grown close enough to appropriate the moisture which the trees need for tbelr best growth. Too often mistakes are made along both these lines, with the result that the young trees. Instead of making a healthy growth, become stunted and never develop as they might have done. That cultivation should be given which will Insure loose and mellow soli about the trees, and under no circumstances should It be allowed to become bard and baked. The University of Wisconsin has of late inaugurated a custom which might well be followed by other Institutions a part or the whole of the energies of which as Institutions are devoted to the teaching and exemplification of a better type of agriculture. This con sists of presenting degrees testimo nials appropriately engrossed to men who have achieved distinction by serv ice rendered to tbelr fellows through their contributions to the upbuilding of the country's agricultural interests. Three men were honored a short time ago by the university, one of whom was a leader in the organization of farmers' clubs and an able institute leader, the second for the good work he bad done as a breeder of fine horses and the encouragement he bad given the Industry, while the third intro duced the culture of Japanese rice In the southwest and has been a pioneer In the work of establishing the very valuable demonstration farms In a doz en southern states, being at present In the employ of the federal government With agriculture occupying the funda mentally Important place that It does In our life as a people the recognition thus of service rendered is becoming indeed and tends to give to agriculture as a vocation the emphasis which It rightly deserves. There ought to be more of these degrees for farmers. HILDA THE HELPER miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiitmriiiiiunitia I.
