USE ABSORBENT BEDDING.
Its Vsed in the Stable Is Known la
Theory, Although Much Vg
leeted in Practice.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the necessity for having plenty of
absorbent bedding in all stables for
two reasons, namely, to promote the
comfort of the animals and to save the
manure, especially the liquid excre
ment, which is the most valuable part
of it The need of clean, dry, abundant
bedding must be generally known theo
retically, although much neglected In
practice. The value of liquid manure
is, however, a thing people in general
are very slow to learn or to do any
thing about. Among the best absorb
ents may be mentioned sawdust, straw,
and land plaster, Sawdust, an excellent
fertilizer in itself, retards the decompo
sition of the manure, but rots quickly
when mixed with It. Where it is cheap
and accessible, nothing better can be
had. As most farmers have more straw
than can possibly be used for feeding
purposes, this is a most common and
on the whole a most excellent bedding.
Land plaster, where obtainable, is an
excellent absorbent for stables, especi
ally to hold the excessive ammonia im
terse stables. Prairie Farmer.
A FEW BUTTER BRIEFS.
Butter should be worked as little as
possible; Just enough to make It com
pact and expel the superfluous mois
ture. There is no apparatus that can get
more butter out of the milk than the
cow put into it But care must be
taken to get all the cow puts in.
In the dairy only the purest salt
should be used. Salt that will not dis
solve readily in water is unfit for but
ter. The quantity is a matter of taste
and the better plan is to consult the
taste of the consumer. Generally from
three-fivurths to one ounce per pound is
used. . . i
When the cream is made too warm
before it goes into the ehnrn in one
sense the globules are cooked together,
causing the casing to be attached,
rather than the globules, and as the
yellow of the butter is obscured by this
envelope of casing the butter comes

Peaches in Cold Storage.
The Hartford Pay Spring says that
an experiment which has been success
fully conducted this season by a num
ber of South Haven fruit growers is
the placing of peacher and pears in
cold storage. Early in October, 1903,
several bushels of peaches and pears
were carefully picked, sorted and each
piece of fruit wrapped in tissue paper;
this was then wrapped in white print
paper and placed on a shelf in cold
storage. January 1 the fruit was taken
out and placed on the local market in
as good condition and finely flavored
as though freshly picked. The price
thus obtained was nearly three times
that which the fmlt from the same
trees sold for at the time it was put
in cold storage.
Extracted vs. Comb Honey.
Here in the east the comb honey in
attractive shape commands a far larg
er call than the extracted does and more
so during the last few years. The light
weight foundation, pure and nearly
transparent, has done away witn the
"hobo" of tough center comb which the
consumer kicked on, ' What looks more
pleasing than a fine cake of comb honev,
well filled ? On the other hand extracted
honey cannot be put on table in as good
form, though it be put np an packages to
suit the eye. The consumer Jras such a
fear of adulterated goods ithat he pre
fers the comb honey whicfh:he knows is
pure. Geo. H. Townsend, "in Ohio

MAKING THE ARMY USEFUL
Agricultural Paper Suggests Em
ployment of Idle Soldiers in Con
struction of Highways.
Gen. Miles has been developing a
scheme whereby the army when not in
service, which is most of the time, may
us relieved of the monotony of a life with
nothing to do but eat and sleep, and at
same time be of some practical use
to the country. He proposes that they
be supplied with modern road machinery
and set to improving the roads of the
country. There is much good hard sense
in this proposition. There has recently
been considerable effort made to restore
to the soldier the privileges of the can
teen on the ground that in his enforced
idleness there were other and worse
evils, which were liable to take posses
sion of his time when the canteen was
refused him. We believe the DroDOsl-
tion to give him something to do will re
lieve the monotony of his position in
a way that will be far better for him and
for the country in general, and certainly
more to the credit of the nation. So
long as these regiments must be main
tained at public expense, why not have
them employ their time In a way that
would be for their good and of practical
value to the general public. While our
army is vastly smaller than that main
tained by most other countries of simi
lar proportions and the expense of main
taining it is consequently less burden
some, yet if it can be employed at some
useful , occupation this burden will be
still farther reduced. Every little helps
in cutting down the expenses, and with
the large and increasing demands for
public improvements along various lines
all over the country. It Is certainly ad
visable to adopt economic changes
wherever practical. Prairie Farmer. ,
Advance In Land Values.
The advance in land values has been
very marked during the past six years.
Good agricultural lands are steadily in
creasing in price, and there is no pros
pect of a , reduction or decline. Our
population increases steadily, while
there can never be any more acres of
land on the earth's surface than at
present. It annually requires more of
farm products to feed the Increasing
population, and prices must therefore
rule higher and higher and farming
become more and more Intensified and
remunerative. Midland Farmer.
Save Tour Horse Hides.
It has occurred to us that farmers and
horse dealers are not generally aware
of the fact that horse hides, whether
taken off from slaughtered horses or
those which have died by disease or per
ished from other causes, have market
value. Farmers should not allow the
hides of their fallen stock to go to waste.
Fair-sized- horse hides, free of cut holes
and other blemishes, are now bringing
from 3 to 3.25 in Milwaukee.
