Since the institution re- eeives a comparatively small grant from the state, it must be managed as a profit-making establishment, or at least In such & way as to make ends meet after paying salaries and providing for the upkeep. Students and Courses The agricultural school, which at first grew as a branch from the high school stem,' follows the high school methods, but has agriculture and. the related sciences as the main portion ob its subject matter. Students pass no for admission and re- ceive no certificate at the end of the course, After leaving the elementary school at 14. years of age, the boys return to their homes for a few years; then, after 18, they go for one or two win- ters to peoples high schools to con- tinue their education. They then re- turn to farming, or first take a course &t an agricultural school. The popu- larity of these agricultural schools and the-proof that they meet a felt want among the people, is made clear by the fact that each winter they are attended. by about 2,000 pupils. Students are admitted from 19 to 20 years of age. They all come with a practical kndwledge of farming op- erations and of farm work and man- agement. The instruction is theoret- feal, the aim being to leave the stu- dents with' clear ideas of the apph- eation of the prineiples of agricultur- al selence to farm work and manage- meng. An effort is also being made, by dectures and otherwise, to let them ire. such. an. understanding of that they will like it bet- ter: have an intelligent apprecia- tion of its relation. to the progress and progperity of the community. The ordinary course continues fivé or six mobths.

This is fig- ured as follows; Pasture, $6; soil- ing, $6: 4 tons silage, $29; one ton nay, $15; and 2,200 pounds of grain amount to $35.50. This gives a total of $82.50 for feeds. = The in- terest, depreciation, taxes and in- iurance on barn ahd stable is figured at $7.50. The value of the cow is considered , and six. per cent. in- terest is $4. Depreciation of the cow is counted at $12. Inter- st and depreciation on tools and supplies, 2nd. providing perishable supplies amounts to $8.' Use. of and. the labor is counted at $32. This amounts to $67.50, which added 10 $82.50 for feeds makes $150. From this is deducted fifteen dollars for manure and net cost $130. If the cows produce 6,500 "pounds of milk the cost of producing this milk is exactly (wo dollars a hundred pounds. * It is, however, a. very peor cow that will not give over 500 1bs. of milk on such a liberal ration as that described. The laber cost is also placed at a 'high figure, while. the ealf is put at a very low figure for the offspring of a cow which is rth feeding on the scale stated.

"No real progress will be made unless the consuming public agree to pay a price sufficient fo jus- tify production of milk of the highest quality It unfair, to ask tive farmers to supply pure milk at a loss, and so long as the price is too low to pay the farmer we shall aon- tinue to have poer milk My defi- nition of whole or pure milk," stat- Dean, "¥s milk as it comes from the cow, and no man can truly say that milk that comes below that standard, set vp by man, is not pure is 'White Wolf" bands. { milk, and no man can piace a limit were doing that. The motto, and device of this school are an example of the spirit and aim. which seem to permeate the people's high schools, tha agricultur- al schools and the husmand. schools.

"The killing off of all tabercuinr cows," said he, "is impracticable and would precipitate milk famine, bringing the milk to' a heat of 140 degrees and holdipg it at that point for 30 minutes." : At the morning's meeting the price of milk was raised by, the pro- ducers to $1.28 per can of eight gal- lons, delivered to the deiries, and $1.23 to shippers. Thik is 3e. high- er than last year. "H&A resolution was passed that when milk testers take samples of milk for testing they also send a similar sample to the shipper, in order that We may make an individual test. President J. B.

Holstein Sales At a sale of Holsteins reported by Hoard's Dairyman. a four year old cow with a record of beiter than 25 Ibs. of butier for a week, sold for $424. A son of Paul-Beets DeKol, out of a 27.1b. cow, fetched $400. He is a very fine individual and has sired a large number of excellent daughters, There were 122 head old including some ealves only a few days old, and 20 balls, The proceeds of the salé totalled $22,- 130. At another sale, held in Wiscon- sin, and totalling 94 head, the aver- age price was $315. The highest price, $925, was for a cow which, at three and a half years, produced 726 tis. of butter, and at five years 29.13 Ibs. in seven days. Broadeast or Drill Spring seediag each year up a point as to whether felds generally come from broad- casting or trom, drilling, EXxperi- ments have shown that on the aver age, taking into consideration early, late and medium seeding, that drill- 12 has a little the advantage one year with another, says the Farmer's Advycate. It is generally conceded that in a dry season drilled grain stands, a beiter chance than broad- casted' grain. Qf course, there a little extra cultivation given gen- erally where drilling is done. Most people nowadays who broadcast sow with an erdinary cultivator, having a seed box attachment and cultivate the seed in, whereas where the drill is used an extra stroke is given with this after the cultivator aas finished its work, In: cases where the land works Pacticularly well, is in good tilth, with™a fine, dast much prepared on top, where there is no clogging and the tillage implements go through fairly well, and where the seed may be put into the ground early in the 'season, broadcasting often gives as gapd results as drilling, but as the season advances and. some of the fields are being sown rather on the late side, we would. advise holding fast to the drilling system. Testing Seeds. brings largest is by the month, $30.31: by the. day, | bythe | r. than harvest, $1.50; day at harvest, $1.94, Skim Milk for Hens At the pouifry department of Pur- due university an experiment has been conducted for THree years on the: value of fveding sour skimmilk to laying pullets. The regular grain ration was thrown in a scratching Iittér and bran and shorts were fed in a hopper. One pen of birds was fed in a hopper. One pen of birds was fed such a ration as this, but to another a liberal supply of skimmilk was added. Both pend had a good range In a cultivated young orchard and were housed alike. As a resi, the birds fed skim- milk in addition to their grain and dry fhash ration laid on an average of 133.5 eggs per bird, and the oth- ers '3% eggs per bird. One pen mage $1.40 profit per hen, and the oifier $0.48 loss per fowl. The milk bfought about thee results, for everything else was §he same. The milk-fed birds laid a lot of winter ezgs when prices were high. In Neo- vember and December of 1913 the production in the milk pen was over 50. per cent, a remarkable produc- tion for that time of the year. "Farmers, feed your skimmilk to hens, and buv tankage for the hogs," is thg advice of thé Purdue men. "The feedingyalue of milk is $1.73 for héns and 45 cents for hogs." The experiment is interesting, but scarcely tonclu ive; There must have been something more than the mere difference in rations to account for such a wide difference in the egg produetion. = CURES RHEUMATISM. Radiuni Mines All Recover From the Disease. Radiam mining in the Paradox valley 'of Colorado has developed a very emgious by-prodyct in the shape of an wnlooked-for eure for rheuma- tism. : * The government buresu of mines has recently undertaken to supervise the working of some fifty-seven ra- dium mines in that valley, which contain, the most important deposits of radipm-bearing ore in the world. The ore is a yellowish mineral known as 'carnotite" and occurs in "pockets" associated with uranium and vagadium. It hws been found that the men engagdd in working these deposits, if they happen to he sufferers from rheumptism, are cured of the mal- ady. 'Not only that, but their gen- eral heglth seems to be henefited in a remarkable way. This~is a matter of no small im- portance. While. radium itself is the most costly thing in the world, being worth over $2,500,000 an ounce, the ore from whieh it is taken is by no means so precious that no- body of moderate means could not afford to buy and keep on hand aj considerable guantity of it. ] It takes a ton_of "ecarnotite" to] produce a bit of radium no bigger | than the head of a pin; and the cost of the radium is due mainly to the difficulty of the processes involved in extracting: it. Peghaps if the fferer from rheu- matism 'were t0 Keep a tew pounds of "carnotite) by him he would ex- perience relief. The matter, of course, is wholly one of speculation yet. ' There js no question of the fact that radium is good for rheumatism. It has been used very successfully in the treatment of this distressing trouble, the method commonly adopted being to allow the patient to breathe the emanations of the Small seeds, such as ciover seed, may be tested by taking 2 plate and laying on it a fresh bleter. Then count out, say, one hundred seeds as they come in your sample and place them on the blotter, spreading them out as well as possible. Next place another fresh blotter over the seeds, moisten well and then turn another plate over all. Moisten well (but do net soak every day) and count the number of seeds that sprout. In testing large seeds, sueh as oals or cern, the first consideration as with, the smaller seeds and some trouble should. be taken in getting the sample from . different places in the bags or bin, so that it will be representative of. the whole lot. Have a box made, say 10x20 inches and about 3 put in about 2 sawdust-- preferably sand. Rule lines each way 2 Jnches apart, with a margin of 1 inch ail reund. By planting a seed about 34 ineh deep at each place where the lines cross you will have 50 seeds planted. Keep in fairly warm place and wate? (with a sprinkler or by shaking the water off a whitewash or other brush) every day, and count the number of seeds that grow before two weeks' tinre.
