The cost of feed at market prices has been charged to each cow and the figures represent the sale of butter fat less the cost of feed. The skim milk, calf, and manure are pro ducts In addition. Farm Telephones. In some parts of the country tele phones are becoming very common. It seems that once a telephone Is estab lished In the family it Is there to stay. Other sections of the country are very much behind the times In this respect, probably because no one has gone ahead with the preliminary arrange ments, A farm telephone is not only a great luxury, but It Is fast becoming an ab solute necessity. With the addition of more business to the farm every year and the scarcity of labor anything that saves steps is worth money. When you get accustomed to doing business over the telephone you realize its great value. , A short time ago I heard a farmer order 100 bushels of seed oats by phone from another farmer about ten miles away. He had seen a sample at the fair last fall and made the ne gotiations accordingly. The business was transacted In about five minutes while the farmer was sitting at his desk after reading his morning mall left at the box by the rural ueiltei' man. It would have taken him all day to get his mail and drive to the other farmer and buy his seed oats. But there Is a social side to farm life that Is fostered by the telephone. It often happens that a woman Is left alone for the day and she can easily make arrangements to have a .neigh bor call and spend the time pleasant ly, Instead of feeling lonely. Then it Is so easy to make social arrangements for evenings or to meet friends as oc casion requires. There are always people In a neigh borhood who are public-spirited enough to go ahead with the necessary arrangements to establish a telephone service. Others should encourage them promptly by subscribing to the fund required. Everybody Is benefited, be cause the arrangement Is mutual In the neighborhood. Agricultural Epltomlst A Iran Neat. The accompanying plan of trap nest is quite simple and can be made from a box of suitable size. It should be 12 or 14 Inches square bv 20 or 24 Inches long. The slats should be nailed to a crossplece about one-quarter the distance from the top. A couple of nails are driven through the box and into the crossplece to swing on. Half way back, on the Inside, a narrow OPEN. CLOSED, piece of board is nailed, back of which the nest is made. To set the trap simply raise the slats inward from the bottom 8 or 9 inches high and place a small stick under one of the slats. As the hen enters the door Is raised off the stick, which falls to the floor. There should be about five slats for a box 12 or 14 inches in width, slats close against inch strip at bottom. When Vegetables Mature. The following list will show the gar dener how long- after planting the va rious common vegetables will mature their growth and be ready for use: Bush beans 40 to G5 days Tole bean i . 50 to 80 days Beets CO to 80 days Early cabbage 10 to 130 days Carrots 75 to 100 days Cauliflowers 100 to 130 days Celery 120 to 150 days Sweet corn 00 to 100 days Cucumbers 00 to 80" days EcKplants 100 to 140 days Onion seed 1.10 to 150 days Onion sets 00 to 120 days Parsley 30 to 120 days Parsnips ' 125 to 100 days Pens .: 40 to 80 days Peppers 100 to 140 days White potatoes 80 to 140 days Pumpkins 100 ti 140 days Radishes 20 to 40 days Spinach 30 to 00 day Rush , squashes 00 to 80 days Late squashes 120 to 100 days Tomatoes 100 to 140 days Turnips .: 110 to 140 days EnrntnKs of Gaud Caws. To demonstrate that all the good cows are not confined to any one breed and to show that the net profit per year is from a good cow attention is called to the records of the best five cows at the Wisconsin experiment sta tion as follows: Johanna, Holsteln, 13,186.2 pounds mllk,444.96 pounds fat! average teBt, 3.62 per cent, net profit $95.31; Marcella, Jersey, 7,783.1 pounds milk, 442.33 pounds butter fat, average test, 5.68 per cent, net profit $80.01; Margaret, Guernsey, 8,652.7 pounds milk, 403.25 pounds fat, avsr- Hoar Cholera. In the way of treatment the United States Bureau of Animal Industry has discovered a vaccine which saves about 80-odd per cent after cholera ap pears In a herd, and a larger per cent If vaccinated before the disease Is In troduced. Time will demonstrate the practicability of this method. The bacteriology department of the Kansas State Agricultural College is also working along these lines, but is not yet ready to announce anything but progress. When symptoms of cholera appear In a herd. It Is wise to dip the whole herd, disinfect their quarters thor oughly, give them a slight change In feed, and add to this about five drops of tincture of prickly ash for each hundred pounds of hog once or twice a day. The" old remedy of wood ashes and salt Is good in many instances. A little powdered sulphate of copper, dried sulphate of Iron or charcoal given dally when the animals are not perfectly healthy frequently does much good. After all, the old adage, an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure, holds good here. What is Castor ia. QASTORIA is a harmless Butstatuta for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups.

By the old method of distributing It there wa usually enough wasted t6 represent I pretty penny. Then camt along a Virginia man and invented the hand fer tilizer dropper. This de vice consists of an odd shaped bucket, running to a point at the bottotr and having a small open lng there, through whict the contents filters. A hinged valve, operated by a rod that leads to the handle of th bucket, controls the flow. The top ol the rod Is connected to a crossbar, which runs under the handle of th bucket. This bar Is in close reach, and, when resting on the top of the bucket the valve is open. To close th valve the operator merely extends a finger and lifts the bar, thus shutting off the fertilizer. The valve flares at the bottom, spreading the fertilizer la a broad, fine stream. For small farms, gardens and lawns this device Is ol great convenience, and is a money saver. Water fur the Chicks. Take an ordinary baking pan and have the tinsmith rivet on an "ear" on one side for nailing to a tree. Have him also make a hole in the bottom In one corner, that the water can be let out every day and the pan be kept clean. Nail the pan to a tree about twelve inches from the ground, so the chicks can drink without get ting into It with their feet The birds will soon discover that It is a fine place from which to get a drink on hot days. Sometimes they find, too, that It Is a convenient place for a bath, and this of course makes the water dirty. But it is not much trou ble to refill the pan with clean water, and this should be done two or three times a day. Chickens and birds re quire a great deal of water, and they often suffer for lack of It Don't neg lect them. Boston Herald.
