Ibo farm. An official connected with An eastern agricultural collego has made a sum mary of the reasons given by IRS sons of farmera for abandoning the pursuit of their fathers. Hlxty-two of this number said that farming does not pay. A strong argument can bo mado on tho Idea that It pays better than other forma of business. Tbo secretary ot agriculture has stated that tbo products of the soil In tbU country ln 1005 reached a value of $0,000,000,000, which Is a good deal of wealth to di vide up as a reward In Ono Industry. Boventeen of tho young men said tho hours of labor on the farm aro too long. No doubt they meant at certain seasons, but this Is a dotal! open to adjustment Twentylx thought so cial advantages on tho farms aro not equal to'thoso in cities, which Is also n matter of opinion. Sixteen said they bad a natural bent for something elao, which Is n point that deserves consid eration always. Others objected to farm monotony, and fifteen said they would return to farming aa soon as they mado a pllo ot money at some thing else. Many of these young men aro the victims of Illusion, and. unfortunately, of a kind curable only by experience. Probably they are not aware that 90 per cent of those who branch out Into general business fall to accumulate any considerable wealth, while tho pos itive wreckage In means, health aad comfort Is large. A farm Is never mo notonous to a good farmer. It Is rather a book ot fresh Interest each succeeding day. A surplus at tho end ot a year ts tho rule on tho farm; In tho city a surplus Is tho exception, and the atylo of family living, on the wholo, Is In favor of tho country. Dut statistics show that plenty of boys re main on the tarma. Tbo fanning popu altlon ot tbo United States In 1900 waa four times as largo as In 18S0, and tbo value of their property Increased flvo fold, or from f 4,000,000,000 to 120,000,- Do 1'nrnicri llcml Ilallellnr I havo noticed ono thing In partic ular while traveling In some ot our best agricultural states, and that la, when 1 see a number of well dressed farmers discussing beef and milk ra tions, feeding young animals for a healthy development, nitrogen, potai slum and phosphorus and tholr 'unc tions In plant growth and. protoln and carbohydrates and their functions In animal growth. I am Invariably In a prosperous and up-to-date community. Now, the question Is, do the best and most intelligent farmers read their bulletins and keep In touch with their station workers and read tho agri cultural press, or does the reading ot these bulletins and agricultural papers mako more Intelligent farmers? It Is one or tho other considered from olther standpoint, for these bullotlns and agricultural papers are not read by tho poor and uneducated class ot farmers, neither do they circulate as freely among tho poorer farmers as they do among the farmers In the better agri cultural communities, Agricultural Epltomlst No Ua tar lb Horn. When cattle woro raised on tho rango a good set ot horns was neces sary for protection. An all-wise crea tor put thorn thero tor that purpose. On tho farm a cow or a steer la not In need of horns. Dreeders are breed ing thorn oft very rapidly. Even the long-horned Hereford has a polled strain now, and It Is predicted by many that within twcnty-itvo years . horned animal ot tho bovine race will bo a curiosity. On tho other hand, ad vocates of horiu say the hornloss strain ot every horned breed Is under sited, and until It can como up to those that havo horns In slie and weight people will want the horned cattle ot both shorthorn and Hereford breeds. However, there Is no reason for leav ing tho horns ou after they are thcro. The time to take them oft Is when the animal Is young, nnd the way to do It Is with any of the prepared horn kill ers. Dut take them off with the saw rather than let them go. It la moro humane to do It than not to do It Farasrs' Mall ana Qreexe. flrash for loll Wuh Thero la nothing quite so good as fine brush to catch and hold soil wash. Whoro small trees 'are used to fill a gully tho top of the treo should bo placed toward (he head of tho gully, so that nit soil nnd trash coming down will bo caught In tho forks of tho branches, if tho treo U placed In the opposite direction the descending trash will slip moro easily by and over it For the same reason, In filling nfeully with brush and branches, tho tops of tlm brush should bo placed upstream, Where gullies have been fowned dur ing the summer by soli washing It la well to fill thorn aa early ns possible In tho fall whllo tho leaves are atlll in tlm brush with which tbey aro filled. When they aro filled early and beforo the leaves of tho trees have fallen, many leaves, as well as grass and weeds that may be blown about tho fields by fall nnd wlntor winds will bo caught In tho brush to decay, will help fill and will form good soil. Tho brush Itself will decay ln a year or two, so that when tbo gully Is filled It cannot only bo plowed over, but will bocomo tho best soil. Never Oil a gully with soil, unless somo brush or similar material U put ln tho bottom to hold the soil. In mending a steep place In the road side, briers, brush and all fence row mowings make good material to lay down to place tbo dirt upon. If rocks are available It Is best to first lay brush In tho place to bo filled, then placo tho roeka upon tbo brush, and last the dirt upon tho rocki and brush. These will hold and bind the dirt until It becomes settled and firm, and It will bo less subject to washing and being cut up by travel In wet weather. Never burn a bit of brush on tho place, but put It ta somo good use. nrcdlnir Brrlne. In breeding swine or live stock ot any kind tho breeder should havo a well defined object In view, a point to ward which to work, a type. An Ideal, If you will, well fixed In his mind. All bogs ot the aamo breed are not alike, and If. la thla fact that makes Improvement of any breed po!ble. There aro different type of the arao breed for tho breeder to select from, and the intelligence and Judgment usel In the selection ot the animals re served for breeders will sooner or later demonstrate the success or failure of the breeder. Ot course, method ot feeding and car cut an Important fig ure. Many men who are good feeders of twine aro very poor breeder, but few good breeders are poor feeder. The tendency of nil our Improved animals Is to revert backward toward the original type, and In the case ot swlno It should bo borne In mind that while" thero Is no stock that can be rapidly Improved by Judicious selec tion, caro and feed, there I none that will degenerate so quickly under neg lectKansas Farmer. Vltalltr ot Sed, Tho period for which the seeds oi different plant maintains their vital ity varies a good deat. The seeds ot somo vegetable are worthless after they aro two years old, while the seeds of other plants. Improve with age un til a certain period. For instance: the seeds ot artichoke aro good until they are three years old; asparagus, four years; beans, two years; kidney beans, one year; beets, ten year; broccoli, four years; cabbage, four yean; car rot ono year; cauliflower, four year; celery, ten yean; corn, three yean; cucumber, ten yean; egg plant tbreo yean; endive, four years; kale, four yean; leek, two years; lettuce, three yean; melon, ten yean; pea, two yean; okra. two yean; onion, two years; pumpkin, ten yean; radish, four years; salsify, two yean, spinach, four yean; squash, four yean; toma to, two yean, and turnips, four yean. Scab In Shrep. The disease commonly called sheep scab Is ono ot tho oldest known, most prevalent and most Injurious maladies which affect sheep. It Is a contagious skin disease caused by a parasitic mite. Investigation has shown that tho dis ease Is not hereditary, as the parasites which cause It live on the external sur face ot the body. It I possible, how ever, for a lamb to become Infected from a scabby mother at the moment of birth or Immediately thereafter. The treatment mutt consist ot external cures to "purify tho blood." Proper hyglente conditions alone, though ot Importance In connection with the sub ject ot treatment, cannot bo rolled upon to euro scab. The only rational treatment consists ln using some ex ternal application which will kill tho parasites. Dy tar the most rational and satisfactory and tho cheapest method ot curing scab Is by dipping tho sheep In some liquid which will kill the parasites. Silo Kcedlusr. Not only must the silo bo erected, shelter must be provided for tho cat tle during winter. Then It corn la fed In the form of silage thero will be successful results. A great many farms buy stock cattle In the fall of the year, turn them Into stalk fields and resell them toward spring aa feed ers. It the market is normal there will usually bo a profit, but It, nevertheless, Is a wastetut practice. A much grcator profit would be secured from silo feed ing as mentioned. Tbo Coat ot Kceplusr n Covr, According to careful experiments, the cost ot keeping a cow a year with the best ot feed and shelter, labor and Interest on the Investment luctuded, all told, amounts to 155. If, then, the cow can uot bo made to produce more than 55, sho Is not worth keeping.
