Fresh meat is quite too high to be
feasible as a ration for the bens, but if
one lives In a rabbit country tbe poul
try will greatly relish the rabbit moat
Skin and draw tbe rabbit and hang up
just high enough so the bens will have
to Jump to reach. Tbe exercise and
fresh meat combined should set them
to laying if tboy have been loafing.
The lncreuslng scarcity of fur bear

than in tbe prices paid for mink pelts
now and a few years ago The same
large, dark, prime pelt that was selling
fifteen years ago for $1.40 now fetches
$7. In the same period prime skunk

Tbe potato crop for the season past
totaled 2S'J.000.00 bushels, and. while
this yield was about 12 per cent below
the five year average, owing to the
higher prices prevailing It netted the
growers $213,000,000. which wos about
14 per cent above the return for the
crop on a five year basis. At presi-nt a

In some sections of the west whore
homesteaders are settling on the big
cattle ranges they seem to have adopt
ed tbe motto of "free range, free beef,"
and heve been enjoying a toothsome
supply of fresh beef by killing steers
now and then that happened to stray
on their ranches. .Naturally the cattle
men object to this procedure and in
some Instances have appealed to state
authorities for protection. It was not
so very long ago when It was the home
steaders who were the suppliants
There Is no condition to be found on
the farm that will play greater hob
with farm animals In a shorter time
than housing them under such eondi
Uons that they will not have an
abundance of fresh air by night or day.
The stable In which cattle or sheep
are quartered may be steamy and
warm, but the air in such a place may
be so bad and so lacking in oxygen
as to nearly extinguish a lantern.
Fresh air doesn't cost anything, but
It's mighty expensive business not
giving the farm animals all tbey want
of it
Modern business Inflicts much injus
tlce at times upon those less favorably
situated in the economic srale and If
also responsible for the practice ol
much dishonesty of one kind and an
other, but It has also bad some most
wholesome inline noes Among these Is
a great curtailment of the drinking of
intoxicating liquors among practically
all railway employes nnd the workers
in many other Industries where em
ployers insist on clhvtency nnd sobriety
Many of these same companies have
entirely forbidden the use of cigarettes
by employes while on duty simply be
cause they take from a man's mental
llertness and power of concentration
Tbe chief causes of loss in the opera
tion of mnny a farm dairy are two
failure to apply the Ilabooek test for
qnautlty nnd quality of milk to ascer
tain which cows nre renlly paying for
the keep or making n profit nnd. sec
ondly, failure to ndjust the grain rntlon
of the cows to the nmount of milk that
they are giving. With cows giving
milk containing about 3 per cent o(
butter fat a good rule Is to feed three
pounds of grain dally for ench flv
pounds of milk produced From this
it will be seen that In many n dairy
herd cows mny be fed either more ot
less grain than they ought to get In
both Instances to a loss nnd disadvantage.
A BIO HORSE FI2DINQ TK8T. '
Trohnhly the largest experiment ta
inrse (ceding ever conducted was the
ne re ently concluded at Fort Riley,
Kan., undi r the supervision of Dr.
Campbell, who i connected with the
Btate Agricultural college. N'lne hun
dred and thirty-seven horses were
used In tbe test, and these were di
vided Into fifteen different lots and fed
is many different rations. Every meal
Cor every one of these horses was
reigned and mixed in the right pro
portions during a period of 140 days.
The purpose of the experiment was to
find. If possible, a grain ration that
would take tbe place of oats and give
is good results, also to test the feeding
value of different bays and to deter
mine tbe effect of different grain ra
tions upon tbe health of the horses.
When tbe feeding tests were concluded
teveral things were made clear: First,
other feeds can be substituted for oats
as a ration for work horses, with as
good results and much cheaper. It was
proven conclusivelyy that oats alone
were a better grain for work horses
than corn alone, but more expensive.
Horses that were fed oats alone gained
on an average sixteen pounds a bead,
while a like number that were fed corn
alone lost twenty-nine pounds apiece
In the same time. When corn was fed
with the proper amount of alfalfa of
tbe right quality it was found to give
Just as good results as oats and, be
ildes, was fully 60 per cent cheaper.
Alfalfa hay, properly fed, proved to be
I more valuable roughage than either
timothy or prairie bay and cheapened
the cost of tbe dally ration from 25
to 40 per cent. A ration consisting of
six parts of corn, four parts of oats
and four parts of bran, together with
timothy hay, was rated as the best ra
tion that could be given a horse,
though not the cheapest An old
Idea was exploded in the experiment
namely, that horses fed oats have
more life than those given a ration of
corn.
A SCHOOL OF HORTICULTURE.
As a result of co-operation on the
part of tbe business men of Lewlston,
Ida., and Clarkston. Wash., a school of
horticulture has been established at
Livingston that will be quite unique In
Its scope and purpose. Instead of fur-
nLshlng instruction pramlrlly to young
people, as Is so largely true of the av
erage agricultural college, tbe school In
question will be attended most largely
by owners of fruit ranches In the vi
cinity and their wives and daughters.
Among the subjects studied will be
fruit growing, nursery practice, tbe
growing of small fruits and vegetables.
Insects and their treatment, plant dis
eases and other subjects arising from
tbe agricultural conditions to be found
In the valley: also soil physios nnd soil
chemistry. The business men of the
two cities came to the conclusion that
the fruit industry of the valley was re
tarded because of a lack of trained
men. and tbe school Just established
has definitely in view correcting this
difficulty. That a high grade of in
struction will be given Is indicated In
the choice of Professor Thornber, pre
viously In charge of the horticultural
Jepartments of the South Dakota and
Washington state agricultural colleges.
Lectures will be given In the forenoons
of five days in the week, while the labo
ratory work will be largely done In
the nearby orchards. Professor Thorn
ber believes there Is a real need for the
school nnd Is enthusiastic about Its future.
SENSIBLE MONTANA.
Botrinnlnc with Jan 1 the good
people of Montana will be able to
know a bit about the pedigree of the
ecus thev have for breakfast. At that
date regulations became effective rela
tive to the sale of eggs, which state
uthorltles sav will be strictly en
forced, ruder the regulations eggs
will be classified as fresh eggs, ranch
eirgs and case eggs Eggs offered for
sale as fresh that are more than seven
lays old will be considered mlsbrnnd
d. Ranch ol'its nre those that have
not been preserved or the age of
which Is unknown. All eggs that have
icon kept In cold storage or that have
icen preserved In any way ore known
is case eegs. nnd the containers of
such egirs must have plainly marked
hereon In letters ivt less than two
Inches high the month nnd the year In
hich the eirps were placed in storage,
ny eggs of the above class not plaln
' labeled are considered mlsbrauded.
The law Imposes heavy pennltles for
lolntlon and makes it Incumbent upon
both the merchant and eating bouse
iroprletor to specify plainly the class
o which eggs he sells belong.
CORN IN LOUISIANA.
A very Interesting change that Is
llnir nn In those .tortious of the south
here cotton has been the staple crop
generations past is cieariy snown
the mold Increase In the produc
tion of corn In the state of Louisiana
iring the past few years. A few
rs ago the cotton boll weevil made
nniipiirnnee In the state, and cotton
rrowors seemed to bo threatened with
ikruptcy. Hut being compelled to
nt fittton In ml to the crowing of
corn nnd other crops li.-i really been
blessing In disguise. I igurea mat
ra lti.rri rmiilllMi show thnt the
production of corn has Increased from
KM!.) bushels In v.nu to nearly
iHnyooO ttushels In 1911. In tbe
r I'.tlO Louisiana corn wns sold to
rope nnd Texas for I he first time.

PLANT IMPORTATION.
Po Inadequate nre the federal laws
governing the Importation of horticul
tural products in this country that
practically every country In the world
that has diseased plants, shrubs or
trees which cannot be marketed at
home can send thetd here. Here would
seem to be nil opening for some am
bitious statesman who wants to pro
mote Lis owii political welfare and
really serve bis country to make a
murk for himself. Tbe existing sit
uation is an Insult nnd outrage on
American horticultural Interests, and
there is urgent need that it should be
righted nt the earliest possible moment.
PHEASANT PROPAGATION.
Much success has attended the ef
forts to Introduce the Chinese or Mon
golian pheasant In southern and west
ern states. In particular on the Pacific
slope, where the climate la greatly
modified by nearness to the orean.
Within the new year several hundred
pairs of the common quail or Bob
White nre to be whipped from Oklaho
ma to western Oregon, where un at
tempt will be made to propagate them.
Climatic conditions will be favorable,
the bird.- are naturally hardy, and
there would seem to be uo good reason
why they ought uot to multiply rap-
uiy.
