There are items of expense to tli farm that should be credits rathe than debits. To see farmers buyin in the markets things that could an should be grown on the farm show iack of forethought. It is no uncom mon thing for farmers living: nea towns to buy their garden vegetables whereas every one of these can b produced at home. By growing tbes greater opportunities will be give: to purchase more of such as canno be grown. Even fruits, especiall the email fruits, are chiefly had in th market.?Indiana Farmer. Cow Rations. A correspondent from Edgar Coun ty, Illinois, says that he has plent: of clover hay, corn meal, wheat brai and middlings, and wants a dail; cow ration for his twelve cows. J good daily ration feeding three time a day would be in quantity for eacl cow, all the clover hay it will ea Dp clean, and by weight equal part of. middlings and bran mixed wit! tvo pounds of corn meal, feeding j pound of this to each cow in the pro portion of a pound for three pound nf milt oaoh ??ivr?.

The Cows and Tuberculin Test. In some of the extensive tests mad< on cows with the tuberculin test, un ier the new regulation and laws re quiring it, about twenty-five per cent of the cows reacted, and were thu: found to be affccted. The tuberculous cow presents i vivid picture of disease long con :ealed, slowly but surely destroyinj the tissue until the factor of safet: Df some organ or structure of th< oody has nearly been destroyed. Dur Ing the early stages of the diseas< the animal may appear to be health: In every respect, and it is witti tries1 that the tuberculin test is valuable. Tubcrculin has been used by tb< experiment atation of the Bureau o Animal Industry regularly and con tinuously during the last seventeei years.?Weekly Witness. Wide-Awake Farmer. Mr. Stephenson, writing in Hoard' Dairyman, from Iowa, says: "I be ' lieve I am safe in saying that fift; per cent, of the farmers to-day ar farming the same as they did twenty five years ago." And this too in State where wide-awake livestocl associations, farmers' institutes, far mers' clubs and granges have bee actively engaged in training th young farmer in the way he siioui< go. Should this be a discouragemen for farmers to try to learn bette methods? We say no, decidedlj Let us think of the other fifty pe cent. Are they not reaping the bene fits of the improvements from whic the statistics of Iowa have bee v made. Who arc getting the benefi of increased products of that grea State? Not the fifty per cent, wu farm as they did a quarter centur ago. Hens Sure to Lay Every Day. Mrs. John Csborn, of Clayton, Si Louis County, has joined the rank of the foes of high priccs as the wc man Jti,gg iriisi nusier. .Tiuer ?ij;u years' rcrearcb, she says, she origir ated a breed of chickens guarantee to produce eggs every day in the yeai The only trouble with the new \i riety js that the hens are so busy laj ing eggs they forget to set. They ar a mixture of Rhode Island Red; Whit6 Leghorns and Blue Andali sians. Mrs. Osborn grows enthusiastic v she describes the new products c the chicken world in this fashion "Tclk about your egg machines, her in Missouri, the realm of the quce of the barnyard, they sink into ol livion in comparison to the new Oborns. They are the superiors of th poultry family as egg producers. '"They have had no time to go t poultry shows and have their toenail manicured, feathers powdered an their comba bathed in vinegar to er hance their beauty. They lay eg? every day whether they have prett A>rir.e ribbons fluttering from thei coops or not." With a few hens, each laying on egg every day, it is not necessary fo city residents to study "back to th L farm" literature in tbeir dreamr. of 11 how to return to the good old times .. wiian "h.-im jinn" was a oart of the u ? _ . . daily breakfast menu, in the opinion . of Mrs. Osborn. A small city lot and p little feed and care is all that is neces. sary to produce enough eggs for each r family to break the E?g Trust, if the e new breed of chickens lives up to her I statements. t I- Feeding For Butter Making. A gcod English dairy authority says that to a small extent rich fatty foods add to the butter fat content of the e millc, but only by supplying material rj which the cow is ready to make g cream of, as cows naturally giving i d poor milk will lay this fat on their I s backs, and it is probably useless to i- try to make a bad cow give richer r milk. If it were not for this, it would 5, seem somewhat meaningless to dee scribe certain foods as butter-produce ers or less suitable for butter making u than for milk-producing, though the t foods arc all useful for the latter y purpose also. Peas and rye, for ine stance, are apt to make the butter hard, and so we find them classed as third-rate butter foods in Denmark, though both of them are useful as mi lb- fnn^R y Butter making is so well undern stood In Denmark that it is interesty ing to see in what estimation differ^ ent foods are held for this purpose, s Rape cake, oats, and wheat bran are a held in the highest estimation; cotton t cake, barley, and palm nut cake come : s next, peas and rye ranking last. It 1 3 will be noticed that the best foods j i are highly nitrogenous, excepting j . rape cake, and not particularly rich s in fat, the second-class foods being t superior in this respect. Richness of milk being, however, I - dependent on the individual cow or t particular breed, the question may , well be asked whether it pays to use ; these foods in any quantity for all i cows alike in a milk herd. Those that j give the richest milk should have a | Jreenhouse. 1 i ' : Hi : to build and maintain, it is possible for as an addition to the dwelling. Hotbed id me.isure 3x6 feet. If steam or hot water , an oil stove will maintain a high enough larger proportion of non-nitrogenou9 ? food, which may to some extent . cheapen the ration, as the albuminoid . ratio is enlarged. This later in the same proportion for all the cows 3 in a herd has been perhaps too rigidly adhered to, and one of our leading j dairy authorities advocates attention j . being paid more to the actual require- i r ments of the cows rather than strict | 'r adherence to any prescribed diet. 3 Must Ee a Good Milker. 3 For a cow to be worth keeping In i ' a dairy herd she must produce J - % _ I 1 enough milk abov<- tne cost 01 ner | teed to pay a good income on the in- j 3 vestment. She must do even more j f ' 1 than this. There are a great many j cows that are mere boarders, and ) 1 when the test is applied it is found j that so far as profit is conc?rned they are worthless, and profit is the only object in view. Why one cow will subsist on the j s same feed as another and yet give : - twice as much milk is a mystery that | y has not yet been solved. The cow is | e a machine to take in grain, hay, fod der, etc.. and out of this to manufaca ture milk. The feed is her raw malt terial, and she is the best cow which can take this feed and from it give a the greatest return. She, or course, e can give back only what is first supd plied to her in a different form, but it is a characteristic of some cows 1 to get out of the feed all the milk r available while with others half of r- it is wasted. r While some breeds are better milkers than others, yet it is not alto^ gether a matter of breed. Because a n cow may be a Jersey, a Guernsey or a lt Holstein, this does not signify that she is a good milker, but the individ0 ual cow must stand on her own mer- } 3 its. It is true, hov/ever, that the best milkers belong to these breeds. Uusually the Holstein will give the greatest amount of milk, but for richt ness the Jersey is unexcelled. * The cow should also be of good dis position and not be a kicker. If she is wild and easily frightened there will be times when it will be imposj sible to get all the milk, and the r whole herd may at times be made restless. She should also be an easy r_ milker. In a herd the hard milker is c anything but satisfactory. And above 3( all else she should rot oe breachy or I- a fence pusher, and she should produce a calf every year. She should s not go dry, unless turned dry, and if she should have an even flow of milk. : Many cows produce a large quane tity of inilk for a few weeks after n calving and after that the flow grows j- gradually less until it ceases altogether. e Size or general appearance should not be given much consideration, o Color is of no importance except as a Is mark cf breed. What is desired in d the dairy cow is milk or butter, and i- the cow that will give the greatest ' ;s amount of this at the least expense y is the best cow for the dairy.?H., in the Indiana Farmer. c Canada waters yielded last year r about 20.000,000 lobsters, half of e which were canned. MYTHS OF THE DAYS OP EARLY YOUTH. Boy of To-Day, It is Said, Would Scorn the Delights of the Old Swimming Hole. Poets may sing them in their sweetest songs, artists paint them in the hrichtest colors and our memories may deceive us regarding the days of long ago, when we were boys on the farm or in the village, but sober reflection, says the Washington Herald, with the glamor omitted, leads to the belief that more myths date back only a score or so of years than stretch to the days when the world was in its infancy. How many of us of mature years had the comforts, much less the conveniences, of modern life? The great majority grew up without street-car servfce, without gas or electric light, without steam radiators in our rooms, without the telephone and without an abundant water supply for the kitchen and bath. The old swimming hole sounds romantic, and there were many days of bliss. But the boy of to-day has so many sources of pleasure and delight that he would scorn the swimming hole. It is by contrast that pleasures are derived. The lad of forty years ago was forced to get up at daybreak, go out into a dew-laden pasture and drive in the horses and cows; he had to carry in wood and in some cases start the kitchen'fire, and some of us were required to do part of the milking. When we were fortunate enough to find a nice red apple after the holi days it was a treat indeed; when a half dozen oranges were bought from the grocer's it meant a delight that was not forgotten for some days. Instead of going to see the best actom and actresses of the age the lad of our memory was supremely happy at the thought of going to see the circus once a year. It was an anticipation that surpasses anything within the range of possibilities to-day. ' t An Infantile Composite. "Well, really, I can't say that i think that he looks just like any one in particular," said the mother of Master Herbert Sanderson Spriggins, four weeks old, to a caller who was having the privilege of seeing George Kc-.bert Sanderson Spriggins for the firBt time. "I don't think that he has his father's chin, and his nose is just like my father's, and his eyes remind me of my sister Helen's. The shape of his face is a good deal like his father's brother Joe's, aud sometimes when he laughs he reminds me of my brother Ted. Often when he is asleep I think that he resembles my Uncle George, and again he has a way of half closing his eyes that makes me think of his grandfather Spriggins. I think he is growing to look more like my side of the house, excepting for the upper part of his face, and that reminds me of his father's family. Still, I can't say that he really looks just like any one but himself, unless it is my sifter Eva's (ittle boy. Strange how family resemblances crop out in mere babies, Isn't it??Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Spectacles For Soldiers. In many cases the vision ?f third class shots has been much improved by the use of spectacles. In the First Northamptonshire Regiment a third class shot became a first class shot. In the First Queen's a man who just missed being a third class shot became a first. In the First Oxfords one failed and two third class shots became second class and one third class became a first. In the First Cameronians one improved from noneffective to a second class shot. In the First Royal Scott Fusiliers one third class shot became a second class shot. These results are due to action taken by the medical authorities in 1907, when the eyesight of several selected regiments was carefully cximinori iiv nrmv mprHral sneeialists in ophthalmology. Recommendations based on these examinations were made, and the Government of India granted a free issue of suitable glasses to those men requiring them. ?Lancet. First Automobile Railroad. Texas used to claim the distinction of having the first automobile railroad. Five cars used to make regular trips on a three-hour schedule over the forty-five miles between Lubbock and Plainview, the county seats of Lubbock and Hale counties. The line had a private right of way fenced off as for a railway, and its roadbed was worked by section hands to this extent?it was kept scooped free of sand. The drivers (this in the sense in which the English use the word) were cowboys in blue overalls and large felt hats. They were required to make the forty-five miles in three hours because the line carried United States mail and was under contract to keep a schedule. Often the cars would clip an hour off that for good measure. The round trip fare for ninety miles was $10.? Her Methods Varied. After the third addition to the fam* lly it became necessary to secure the services of a permanent nurse. "Now, my husband is very particular whom I engage as a nurse," said the mistress to a girl who had applied for the position. "He wishes me to go into the most minute details about your qualifications. Do you know how to prepare food? Can you sew and mend? Do you mind sitting up late at night'/ Are you iaitniui auu devoted, and have you a kiud, loving disposition? Will you?" "Excuse me, ma'am; am I to take care of the baby or your husband?" In Spite of Tommy. Home study for Tommy had just begun, and he found it hard to apply himself to regular hours. At bedtime one evening his father said: "Tommy, I am not at all pleased with the report your mother gives me of your conduct to-day." "No, father. I knowed you wouldn't be, and I told her so. But she went right ahead an' made th' report. Jest like a woman, ain't it?"?Ladies' Home Journal.

Several authorities are quoted a to cost of repairs of macadam road under present conditions. A roa near Lynn, in Massachusetts, of a most perfect macadam constructioi exposed to wind, sun and high-spee automobiles, had to be resurface after a single year's service. W. C Carpenter, County Surveyor in Yorl shire, Eng., reported at the Pari Pnno-rocc that thf> maintenance c roads in his district was $482 pe mile in 1890, and $789 in 190S.

Recent Experiments in Road Mafclzij In Missouri the earth of abo>ii hai a mile of road was taken cilt to depth of twenty to tirenty-fou inches, and a width of twenty fee and was heaped beside the wide an shallow trench thus made. A ver heavy steam roller then rolled tb bottom of this exposed soil founds tion until it was deemed to be as con pao.t as it could be made by thi means. A little at a time the earth whic had been taken from the roadway wa spread evenly over the bottom of tb trench, and rolled as thoroughly s the foundation had been. This loos earth was well sprinkled as the rol ing went on. In this way all the so that had been so removed from th highway was returned and packe down. Then soil was taken from tb sides of the roadway, put upon th driveway and sprinkled and rolled s thoroughly as the rest had been.
