This Is always a pertinent question. )ut unfortunately no two writers agree n their figures. Mr. Robert Edklns f Westtown, Pa., who has a dairy of 110 cowv whose average yield of milk a 9,600 pounds figures the cost of teeplng at (162.02 per cow. Prof. Fra ier of the Illinois college of agrlcul-.-ure places the cost at $91 per cow. Nearly all writers figure in a lot of terns that the average farmer pays 10 attention to. But It is very evl lent that It is costing farmers consid erably more than they are aware of keep their cows and that is one. reason why they do not find more mon ty In their pocket at the end of the rear. Right here steps in that everlasting luestlon of keeping only good cows. Back of that question is the other of a firmer showing enterprise and courage in his determination to improve his lerd. It Is simply amazing to men of tense and discernment why there are 10 many farmers who seem bewitched to stay by the poor cow. They are Mating themselves yearly out of good profits, many suffering loss instead, ind yet they will not buy a good reg istered bull and go at the work reso lutely of raising cows that It will pay to keep. The sticking point with them In many cases seems to be the price that i good bull costs. They are not at all soncerned over what they are losing tvery year. They will pay $250 for a rood farm horse and choke to suffoca tion over paying $200 for a bull that will earn every yiar twice what the borse will. They look at things from i wrong viewpoint no uimeuity Seorge W. Wilson was rehearsing; with Edwin Booth at the Boston mr seum.

Household Remedy Taken in the Spring for Years. - Ralrjh Rust Willis, Mich., writes: "Hood's Sarsaparllla has been a house hold remedy in our home as long as I can remember. I have taken it in the spring for several years. It has no equal for cleansing: the blood and ex pelling; the humors that accumulate durlne the winter. Beinsr a farmer and exposed to bad weather, my sys tem is often affected, and I often take Hood's Sarsaparllla with good results." Hood's Sarsaparllla is Peculiar to Itself. There is no "Just as good." Get It today in usual liquid form or tablets called Sarsatabs. Protect Sheep From Dogs. A Minnesota farmer eays that h keeps dogs away from his flock by putting up in his pasture the dummy at a man holding a stick for a gun. This dummy Is taken down every morning and put up again in the even ing at different places from night to eight He says a sheep killing dog will not go near enough to the dummy V discover that it Is a bogus man. 8heep Are Nervous. Sheep are nervous animals and ol rather delicate constitution, and suffer more from bad ventilation and over crowding than any other animal on the farm; It Is a mtstake therefore to con fine sheep during the winter In close auarters. If kept dry their fleeces will keep them warm. Who ever heard of sheep freezing to death f Feed Charcoal to Hogs. Nearly every hog feeder practice burning the corn cobs, knowing that the hogs relish eating the charcoal from their doing so. A splendid way to dispose of the cobs and make an excellent quality of charcoal Is to dig i hole la the ground about Ave feel deep. After the cobs are dry they can b placed In this hole, starting a fire Is the bottom as they are placed In the pit and keep adding cobs, so that th dame la gradually drawn to the top until the pit is filled with cobs; then the pit should be covered with a sheet iron cover, made so as to fit over th ectlre hole, and close up the cobs that are on fire. The edge of the lid should be sealed by throwing loose dirt over It Cobs will burn this way Into a fine quality of charcoal, and after standing about twelve hours may be uncovered and taken out Food for Chicks. Dry foods, se1s, cracked grains, drj meals, etc., are what young cblcki thrive oa. POULTRY KEEPING PROFITABLE. Prof. Dryden of O. A. C. Advises Farm ers to Increase Flocks. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- valliB. "There has been an enormous Increase in the production of eggs and poultry in the state in the past two years, but in spite of thlB the demand has far exceeded the supply, and prices are still as high as ever," eald Pro fessor James Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural College In discussing the object of the present tour of the poul try demonstration car sent out over the Southern Pacific lines by the col lege. "If the farmers of Oregon would keep, on an average, 100 hens Instead of about 60, it would shut out the Im ports and add $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 a year to the wealth of the state. "The purpose of the demonstration car is to stimulate a greater production of poultry and eggs. The quickest and best way is to increase the flocks of the farmers rather than to have poul try keepers start large egg farms. The nemand cannot be met by the estab lishment of large, exclusively poultry (arms. If the general farmer goes out of the egg producing business there will soon be an egg famine possibly a serious financial panic. Though there are opportunities for profit along special lines in poultry- keeping, the market for specialties is limited, and it would be folly to advise everyone to go into special lines. I am free to confess that we have kept more people out of the poultry busi ness than have gone into it as. an ex clusive business. I have received great numbers of letters during the past year from all parts of the state as well as from other states, in which the writers stated that they were go ing Into the poultry business on a large scale, and a large majority of tbem said they knew nothing of the busi ness. Our plain duty was to advise caution. If every one of them had gone into the business as they intend ed and invested their all in it, it is safe to say that there would have been thousands of dollars lost in every coun ty of the state, and the poultry busi ness would have received a black eye. "Poultry keeping is not a difficult business unless we make It so. . If conducted along sane, common-sense lines, there Is profit In it The two points on which special emphasis Is laid in the demonstration car are feed ing for eggs and housing. Egg rations are on display, feeding charts show re sults of experiments, breeding charts show results of breeding for eggs, dif ferent grades and qualities of eggs are exhibited, marketing possibilities are demonstrated, and the equipment for successful hatching and brooding of chicks Is displayed. The walls of the car are covered with signs and charts containing lessons in practical poul try keeping. A "knock down' colony house Is taken along and set up out side the car at each stop. "While chickens may be- made to do well In different houses, it may be said In favor of the colony system and free range that there Is no noted poul try district in the United States where poultry-keeping has been permanently successful, where the colony house Bystem was not followed. The colony house, moreover, was the house used at the Oregon Experiment Station last year for the hens that made the high est egg records ever made In the Unit ed States so far as official or authentic record is concerned. The demonstra tors on the car explain how those hens were housed and cared for, and answer any questions as to their feeding and treatment" FENCES INCREASE VALUATION OF FARM LANDS CONSIDERABLY When Well Fenced and Divided Into Convenient Fields and Lots $10 Per Acre Is Added to Value of Property Nothing but the Very Best of Material Should be Used. -'Tut?-'' (By H. F. GRINSTEAD.) Any farm is worth $10 per acre more when It Is well fenced and di vided Into convenient fields and lots. As there is more or less work and ex pense entailed In getting a good hog tight fence in place, one should get only the best material, and spend more time In setting and stretching than when the common barbed wire Is used. Woven wire, even of the 26-lnch width, exerts Beveral times the strain as that of the three-strand barbed wire, and the corner-posts must be of good size, and well braced. Posts cut In the winter and allowed to season till the summer before being Corner Post Anchored. set will be more satisfactory, but this plan 1b not always practicable. We have used posts a rod apart on our farm, but I have learned from ex perience that that is too far and now I am putting them 12 feet apart Set the corner or end posts first, then drive the others In line between them by stretching a wire on the ground. This wire must be stretched tight; and in driving do not let the post touch the wire, as it would push it out of line. - The work of "getting ready" is the most Important Item in making this kind of fence, since a quarter of a mile may be stretched and stapled by two men after everything Is In place and the posts set Set corner posts at least three feet In the ground, and brace to overcome the direct tension of the wire as well as the tendency to pull up. Eight or ten feet from the corner posts set the stray post, against which the corner post Is to be braced. Cut a big square notch in this post a foot from the ground, to receive the end of the brace, and a similar notch should be cut in the corner post three feet from the ground to receive the other end. This will throw a large part of the strain on the stray post, but in order to make this more effective, and over come the tendency to pull upward on . . j DRY FARMING ALFALFA. Prof. Scudder Sees Big Possibilities In Alfalfa Seed. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallls. The growing of alfalfa on the dry farming lands of Oregon In culti vated rows for the production of seed has been the special dry farming hob by of Prof. H. D. Scudder of the Ore gon Agricultural College. He has ad vocated "this plan widely through East ern Oregon for the past five years, and Is boginnlng to see practical results on a large scale. A prominent wheat farmer at Arlington has planned to put In 1G0 acres of alfalfa on his dry land, and has asked the agronomy de partment of the college for special in struction and for the best seed.. An other man, one of the largest wheat farmers in Gilliam county, Is to put in 1,000 acres of airalfa thla spring. The sreat number of letters coming to Prof. Scudder from all parts of Eastern and Central Oregon on this subject indi cates the first great change for the better in dry farming agriculture there.

The brace should not be less than six Inches in diameter, and squared at the ends. There is yet another way of bracing corner posts, to be commended for Its simplicity and low cost where timber Is scarce. It Is best suited for back fences, where there is no passing around the corners. This Is an anchor placed In line with the fence for an end post, but where there is a corner it is midway between, or at an angle of 35 degrees with either line. A pit two feet deep and a foot wide and four Inches long is dug back six feet from the post to be braced. A log or chunk three feet long la burled In the hole, two strands of No. 9 wire tied around the middle of It then secured to the top of the posts. When this log or "dead man," as It Is called, Is covered and well tamped, the wire from It to the post should be twisted till the post leans slightly, then when the wire is stretched the post will give sufficiently to put It back straight One may think that this ' anchor would pull up, but there Is no danger if It is put In two feet and the wall of the pit straight down, or a little caved, with a notch cut In the hank for the wire to make a straight pull toward the top of the post This form of brace tends to pull the post down rather than up, as Is the case with the other braces. For a yard fence where appearances count for more than in other places, the brace may be hidden. A bole Is dug to the desired depth, being as long as the distance between the posts the stay post being set In one end, and the corner post In the other. A brace Is fitted In tight between them in the bottom of the hole, and the dirt filled in, then another Is put in the same way at the surface of the ground. A modification of the anchor brace is made by running the wire from the top of the second or stay post to the bottom of the corner post then set ting horizontal brace between the posts near the top. For a good fence I prefer to have the posts set In the early spring and stretch the wire a month later, after the posts have settled, and the weath er becomes warm. There is considerable contraction and expansion due to heat and cold, so a fence stretched in midsummer Is more likely to remain tight In stretching the wire, always fasten the stretcher to the end or corner post and not to some object beyond, just because it is more convenient I have tried this and know that unless the end posts receive the ten sion when stretching, they will give as soon as the stretcher Is removed. A stretcher with two levers, one at the top and another at the bottom Is the best type, since on uneven ground the A E 111 Brace and Wire. A, Corner Post; B, 8tay Post wire may be stretched to conform to the surface. The most important thing in the construction of a fence is having posts well set for without this it Is Impos sible to stretch heavy woven wire. Never try to stretch more than 40 rods at once, and If this is four-foot wire It will require enormous tension. A part of the crimp should be drawn out of the wires. Nail to every post, but not to every wire. Staple a part of them to one post and the alternate ones to the next post Make substantial gates, light though strong. Our gates are 1 by 4 lumber, and usually 10 or 11 feet wide. In order to save waste, get 16-foot lum ber. Seven pieces of that length, and one ten will make the gate without any waste. There should also be another piece a foot wide and ten feet long, which may be sawed in two and nail ed, one piece on either side where the hinges are bolted on.. The gate may be made 11 feet long and five feet high by cutting the 16 foot lumber this way, the short pieces being used in pairs for the uprights, one piece being sawed into two eight- foot pieces for the diagonal brace. These short braces are better than Invisible Braces. when run the full length of the gate, and the extra pair of uprights keep the gate straight Good binges should be bolted on and bolts used In putting the gate together.
