Dry Potatoes for Food. Consul Frank S. Hannah sends a re port to the Department of Commerce and Labor relative to some recent ex periments in the drying of potatoes under the auspices of the German Im perial Interior Department, which may offer a new field for farmers. The potatoes are reduced by this proc ess to about one-quarter of their orig inal weight, and can be kept in a good condition in this compressed form for an Indefinite length of time. The military authorities have made thorough experiments with this prod uct and have become convinced that Its nutritious value Is fully equal to that of corn, and that the dried pota toes can take the place of one-third of the former ration of oats. The fact that the potatoes are reduced to one fourth of their original weight brings about a corresponding reduction In the price of freight, so that it will pay to grow more potatoes than has former ly been the case. Michigan Farmer. The Plain Farmer. - Speaking of farmers' institutes, one man says: I would like to know what is in the mind of the working farmer in felt boots, who sits In the back seat." He adds: "A few people who are good talkers praise the work, but -what about the silent ones who listen and say nothing?" The Rural New Yorker, comment ing on these statements, says: "The Institute speakers can not do any wiser thing than to learn how to en courage and keep Just this class of farmers. The retired farmers and suc cessful men who make up a good share of the audience are well able to take care of themselves. It is pleas ant to entertain them, and their praise gives a man a thrill of satis faction. It is a truer service to the State, however, to gain the confidence of the plain farmer and help him." Live Stock and Prosperity. Live stock is the chief element of agricultural prosperity. It is the foun dation upon which both the present and future profits are established. We boast of our great wheat and corn crops, and we have a reason for so doing, but If we depend upon them alone we rob ourselves and our chil dren by selling off the fertility of the soil with each year's crop. For many years the soil will continue to yield their crops, but they will get poorer and finally fall unless they -are fed. How much better to mak your farm richer Instead of poorer; to get the benefits of the increased crops during your own lifetime and then leave a rich and valuable farm to your chil dren after you have 'done with It Live stock will do It as nothing else can. Kansas Farmer. The Work Horse la Summer. Working horses from srass has never been our way, although a great many do It and keep their teams in very good fix. When there is only light work for a few days, our horses nave tne run or gooa pasture when not in the harness, but most of the time they are in the barn, where thev get grain and bright bay three times a day. It seems to us they are better able to stand hot weather when on a hay ration, with grain, than when thev get grain and green trass for theirtoughness. It probably does no more harm to a horse to sweat than It does a nerson. It is usually certain that when a horse is sweating freely he is taking no hurt, but a "grass sweat" can be avoided br feeding har instead. Twentieth Century Farmer. Farmers Hast Watch the Crop. In order to determine What elements of plant food are deficient in a soil, It is necessary to carefully study the growing crop. Many farmers seem to be of the opinion that a chemical analysis of the soil will show the amount of plant food contained there in. This, however, is a mistaken Idea. The chemist can only determine ap proximately the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in a soil, without specifically showing what pro portion of these elements can be taken up by the growing plant. A large per centage of these elements is not avail able to plant food. Hence the neces sity for them in an available form. We must turn, then, to the crop, and by watching it closely during its growth and by a careful examination when matured, see whether the soil is deficient in plant food and what ele ments are lacking. Care of Setting; Hens. When sitting the hens in order to keep the Hce from bothering them, a good plan is to fill the nest boxes with wood shavings, preferably those that have some odor about them. Ce dar shavings are excellent and so are cedar twigs, and the hens will appre ciate the nest of such materials. Lice are a great drawback to a hen when she is on the nest, and many times they compel the sitter to leave her nest when she does not desire, and if there is anything the poultryman can do to keep the sitting hen comfortable he will be amply repaid for it in the end. The shavings are inexpensive and are easily destroyed. They do not pack hard in the boxes id are quite comfortable for the hen. Try some of them when sitting a hen and see how useful they really are. Rural World. A Celery Spray. Celery blight can be controlled by spraying with ammonical carbonate of copper. To make this, dissolve 8 ounces copper carbonate in a pint of ammonia, and add 25 gallons of water. To make copper carbonate, dissolve 5 pounds copper sulphate (blue vitrol) in S gallons of water, also 6 pounds carbonate of soda In 5 gallons of water. Mix the two solutions slowly, stirring well. Let the mixture stand until next day to settle, after which pour off the liquid. Pour on 10 gal lons of water, let stand until next day,, and repeat the operation, after which strain and dry Ae blue powder, which is the copper carbonate.

It has been a generally accepted theory among teachers and writers on dairy subjects that the production of good butter necessitates the develop ment of a certain amount of acid in the cream, for two reasons to de velop a desirable flavor and to im prove the keeping quality. Recent in vestigations by the United States De partment of Agriculture Indicate, how ever, that butter made from pasteur ized sweet cream has better keeping qualities and remains free from ob jectionable flavors for a longer time than butter made from sour cream. Dry Farming; Fruit. Dry farm fruit promises to yield an abundant crop this year in Colorado, according to B. R. Parsons, of Parker, Colo., one of the most successful dry farmers in that State. Mr. Parsons created much interest in the subject of fruit growing on non-Irrigated land when he described his orchard in an address at the third dry farming con gress at Cheyenne, and has promised to send an exhibit of his dry farm horticultural products to the Inter national exposition of dry farm prod ucts when the dry farming congress holds its fourth session at Billings, Mont., October 26, 27 and 28 next.

There is one thing the farmer can not afford to overlook in ( sheep rais ing, and that is thrift. Thrift means health, gain in quality, quantity and productiveness, the elements out of which the profits are derived. It must be the first object of the owner to keep his sheep in thriving condition. The quality of the wool, as well as the quantity, and the general product iveness of the flock make this require ment Imperative. Have Sense of Direction. Bees return to their hives in a di rect line when they have been carried away and liberated, up to two miles. This has been supposed to be due either to the sense of sight or of smell, but the experiments of Gaston Bonnier have proven that neither sight nor smell can serve the purpose and that bees have a special "sense of direc tion." This sense Is not in the anten nae. When to Cat Grass (or Hay. Good hay can only be made by cut ting the grass as soon as it heads out, and clover as soon as the heads are in full bloom. It is a mistake to wait until the heads turn brown. There la nothing In the theory that sunshine alone makes hay. Air Is as much a factor as sunshine. Curing mainly in the wlnrows and hay cocks is now practiced by many of our best hay specialists. Dressed as Scholars.
