Admitting- tha grave seriousness of tha Increasing coat of living. Dr. Wiley aya tha problem must ba aolved by bringing the producer and consumer closer together. Dr. Wiley advocates tha purchasing or supplies from public storehouses to give relief. "Every city has a supply bureau, and there la no question that this could he broadened Into a depot of supply," he said. "Now, of course, '.his Idea wlH be jumped, on by every wholesaler and every retailer. But that Is not the question. The question la. How are we going to pet at this problem In a sensible way to solve It?" ' "'ft very one stole from him. Bight hun dred gallons of milk tught to be hauled by one double team..

Dr. . Wiley said It was about four times what It should he to the public, be cause of lack of proper system ot Cis trlbutlor.. "A dealer told me not ong ago that - lie delivered 800 gallons of milk a day nr.il that he had t- cl. j teams : . do It. He said he had twelve drivers, anJ SHREDDED CORN FODDER. My experience with handling corn fodder during the past ten raara has convinced ma that the husker and shredder Is a very valuable tool on all dairy farms where mora corn fodder Is raise ', than can be preserved In the silo, or, on farms where there la no llo. The vnlua nf annil ahih.j stover will compare favorably with uraomy nay ann tha various experi mental farma report very satisfactory results while feeding It to young stock, beef cattle, sheep and horses. Many fanners' have made a failure of keeping the shredded fodder In good condition for feeding, while others seem to have no difficulty In keeping it for weeks when they can feed It out Some claim that It will keep nicely by running it In the mow with a layer or straw and then a layer of feddor. gradually filling the mow with the mixture. We have found It rather an uncer tain feed to keen and sftar t.vlnS. ery method that we could think of we now niHKo a practise oi anreridlng the fodder and then runnfnr It ihrmmh tho ensilage cutter Into the Mo and Keep wen wet down and parked and find that the cows 1ik it hmn as they do the ensilage put up In tha ordinary manner. We aave a num ber 'Of hundred tuia'lftl. nf mmrm In ht manner, and believe that It pays, espe cially in a country '. here corn la worth seventy-five to eighty cents per bushel. : When thin mathnd im tn h. umaMuiI It is best to leave some of the best eared corn In the shock until the silos have settled and tho top ensilage fed off and then refill them later cn with the shredded stover. M. W. Kelley. IIOU AKD AVHEtJ TO UGE A CuAQ i By D. W. King. The successful operation of a road drcs Involves two principles, which,' when thoroughly understood and in-, telllgently applied, make road work Ing with this. Implement very simple. The first concerns the length (.- t po sition of the hitch, while the second deala with the position of the driver on the drag. Each Influences the other to a large extent, and successful man ipulation of the drag Is dependent upon an understanding of both of them. . : f For ordinary purposes the snatch link or clevis should be fastened far enough toward the blade end of the chain to force tha unloaded dra to follow tha team at an angle nf 45 'degrees. This will cause the earth to move along the face of (he drag smoothly and will give comparatively light draft tu tha team, provided the ditver - idea In the line of draft fiomftlmm however, conditions are met which require special treatment and In' a rolling countr such condi tions are not Infrequent. Often a Hat place several ods In length or a aeepy spot needs special attention.' The distance from the drag at which the team IS hitched affects the depth of the cutting. Shortening the chain tends to lift the front slab from the ground; a longer hitch causes tha blade to cut more deeply. The length of hitch may be regulated by length ening end shortening the ehaln at the SUGGESTIONS THA" MAY HE1.P. Manures, fertilizers nnd crop rota tions will not compensate for a lack (t underdralnage of the soli: In fact i ihey only add to the real expense of Iprowlnj! crops without reromper-e. i Good farmers use fprtillsers for the I permanent improvement of their soils. Poor farmers us,, them to Ret a little more to sell from their Impoverished end which run through the hole in the blade end ot the drag. If small weeds are to be eut the double tree should be attached rather cle ar to the ditch end of the drag. The drag will now move nearly dltoh end .'ore most and the driver should stand with on foot on the extreme forward end ot the Iron slab This will swing tha drag back to the pr par angle and will cause the blade to plow. The drag does the best work'w-dn the soil la moist but not sticky. - The earth then move freely 'along' Ute faces of the slabs. , If the roadway la very badly rutted and full of holes. It may be we!i te use the drag once when the ground , Is slushy. This treatment la particularly applicable before a cold peU In winter when it Is possible to have a roadway .freeao kraootbf, : ;'"; . A smooth road surface Is secure 1 by .Aa method. Clay, whan mixed with water Jand thoroughly worked, be come remarkably tough and rmper vloua to water. . If compacted in this condition It becomes extremely hard. Another valuable result of dragging Is the reduction of dust for the par' tide of clay cohere so tenaciously that there la hut little wear when the Surface s smooth. Dust on an earth road la due to the breaking- up under trafno ot the . frayed and upturned el ires of ruts and boot prints. If the surface is smoothed after each rain nd the road dries hard and even, no edge are exposed to. crusUlng und the only dust which form 1 that due to actuat wear of the road surface... Certain sections of a roadway will require more attention then .others pecause of steep grades, aeepage, c poaure hlllde wash, eta. Tbe best guide In meeting these conditions lei the knowledge and experience gained While dragging tha roadway. , . , ; There la one condition, however. In which cpeclal treatment ' should be jrlven to a road. Clay hill under per sistent dragging frequently become too high In. the center. To correct this It Is best to drag the earth toward the center of the road twice and a ray 'from It once.-- ' " - - ' JTJST HORSES AXD MIXES. ,.; The Greenhorn, when he goes to purchase a horse, gene-ally takes from one to six greenhorns with him to ah-ilst in choosing the animal. The dealer, under those circumstances, generally outwits them all. A dark stable often timer brings on eye disease. The horse, also the mula, requirea light, but It chould not shine directly in their faces. liathe, from th rear. j Use a leather hnlter rein Instead of !a chain when tying horses in their ! stalls.

We would . rather have a large, well formed, vigorous, virile scrub ram than a puny, ill-formed, pura-bloed. I:, buying ram M la just as necessary to study Individuality as it Is to have pure blood. - Sheep are nervous animals and of rather dellrat constitutions and suf fer more from . bad ventilation and overcrowding than any other anlmul on the farm; It is a nstake therefore to confine sheep during the winter In close quarters. - If kept dry their fleeces will keep them warm. Who ever heard of abeep freextng to death? ' Much of the decline In tha stock tarrying capacity ot pasture land Is due to close grating.

Once aha get a taste of flesh in this way a tremendous appetite for nltro genotia feed Is developed, she becomes cross, irritable and often dangerous. . . A hog is composed of blood, water, gristle, flesh and bone, all albuminous or nitrogenous and the sow must have fopd to supply all these elements In her makeup or she cannot thrive. Sows usually dave jp the pig-eating habit when hey are born. Very often she will devour a pig during the' pains of parturition because she may think they are c-ut.-d -y her offspring. . ' When a sow eat her pigs the best way Is to fatten bar and send her to market a quickly as. possible for It is a habtt not easily, broken. Hut she should at first be fad a - ration that will produce growth In muscle' and flesh, and not too much fat,: lter, when she obtains her normal condi tion ahe can be fattened tho same as any other hot, , i -j. !,;,.: ; For winter feeding, alfalfa or ejo ver hay, oats, or com and shorts in equal portion by weight will, prove exoellent If the weather I very cold she may be given a little more corn and ahe should have plenty of exer clj all the time, In summer, of course, ahe should have the lun of a good pasture and the corn ration should 'be greatly re duced. .If fed in this way a sow will, in the course of -one . eeaaon, : regain her normal condition, but even then the habit of plg-eatlng mar remain with her and we would not regard ber a a' safe 'breeder.
