DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. The Way the Farmer Can Learn Which Department Ib faying Him Profit. Author of "The Jungle" Faces Prince of Packers With "Awful . Art^ of ffcts Gaicuatcrf to ut, ' Infamous industry. ^ In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post Mr. J. Ogden Armour makes the assertion that the govern­ ment inspection of the beef trust slaughter-houses is an impregnable wall protecting the public from im­ pure meat, and that not an atom of diseased meat finds its way into the products of the Armours. Mr. Up­ ton Sinclair, author of "The Jungle" ( a terrific statement of packing house conditions;, studied the meat industry for two years, including much time spent in the Chicago stockyards as a workman; he is the best equipped outside authority On stockyard condi­ tions. In Everybody's Magazine for May Mr. Sinclair inakes a startling and convincing answer to Mr. Ar- moftr's assertion. Commencing with the statement that J. Ogden Armour Is the absolute and not the nominal head of the great packing house in­ dustry which bears his name Mr. Sin­ clair says: "I know that in the state­ ments quoted, Mr. Armour willfully and deliberately states what he abso­ lutely and positively knows to be falsehoods." That he might he properly equipped to describe conditions in "Packing- town"' Mr. Sinclair worked for a period as a laborer in the plant of Ar­ mour ft Co., and he tells of sights of filth and horror such as he hopes never to see again, but the strongest coincidence of the truth of the claim that meat unfit for human food is put on the market comes from a man for years superintendent at Armour ft Co.'s Chicago plant, Thomas F. Dolan, of Boston. Mr. Sinclair in his article says: "At the time of the embalmed-beef scandal at the conclusion of the Span­ ish war, when the whole country was convulsed with fury over the revela­ tions made by soldiers and officers (including Gen. Miles and President Roosevelt) concerning the quality of meat which Armour ft Co. had fur­ nished to the troops, and concerning the death-rate which it had caused, the enormity of, the 'condemned-meat industry' became suddenly clear to one man who" had formerly super­ vised it.' Mr. Thomas F. Dolan, then residing in Boston, had, up to a short time previous, bepn a superintendent at Armour ft Co.'s, and one of Mr. Philip D. Armour's most capable and trusted men. When he read of the death-rate in the army, he made an affidavit concerning the things which were done in the establishment of Ar­ mour ft Co., and this affidavit he took to the New York Journal, which pub­ lished it on March 4, 1899. Here are some extracts from it: "There were many ways of getting around the inspectors--so many, in fact, that not more than two or three cattle out of 1,000 were condemned. I know exactly what I am writing of in this connection, as my particular instructions from Mr. W. E. Pierce, superintendent of the beef houses for Armour ft Co., were very explicit and definite. "Whenever a beef got past the yard Inspectors with a case of lumpy jaw and came into the slaughterhouse or the 'killng-bed,' I was authorized by Mr. Pierce to take his head off, thus removing the evidences of lumpy jaw, and after casting the smitten portion Into the tank where refuse goes, to send the rest of the carcass on its way to market. "I have seen as much as 40 pounds of flesh afflicted with gangrene cut from the carcass of a beef, in order that the rest of the animal might be utilized in trade. "One of the most important regula­ tions of the bureau of animal indus­ try is that no cows in calf are to be placed on the market. Out of a slaughter of 2,000 cows, or a day's killing, perhaps one-half are with calves. My instructions from Mr. Pierce were to dispose of the calves by hiding them urftil night, or until the inspectors left ofT duty. The lit­ tle carcasses were then brought, from all over the packing-house and skinned by boys, who received two cents for removing each pelt. The pelts were sold for 50 cents each to the kid-glove manufacturers. This occurs every night at Mr. Armour's concern at Chi­ cago, or after each killing of cows. "I now propose to state here exact­ ly what I myself have witnessed in Philip D. Armour's packing-house with cattle that have been condemned by .the government inspectors. "A workman, one Nicholas Newson during my time, informs the inspec­ tor that the tanks are prepared for the reception of the condemned cattle and that his presence is required to see the beef cast into the steam-tank. Mr. Inspector proceeds at once to the place indicated, and the condemned cattle, having been brqught up to the tank- room on trucks, are forthwith cast into the hissing steam-boilers and dis­ appear. "But the condemned steer does not stay in the tank any longer than the time required for his remains to drop through the boiler down to the floor below, where he is caught on a truck and bauled^back again to the cutting- room. The^pttom of the tank was open, and the steer passed through the aperture. "I have witnessed the far<fc many times. I have seen the beef dropped into the vat in which a steam-pipe was exhausting with a great noise so that the thud of the beef striking the truck below oould not be heard, and in a short time I have witnessed Nicholas bringing it back to be pre­ pared for the market. "I have even marked beef with my knife so as to distinguish it, and watched it return to the point where I t s t a r t e d . . . . "Of all the evils of the stockyards, the canning department is perhaps the worst. It is there that the cattle from all parts of the United States are prepared for canning. No matter how scrawny or debilitated canners are, they must go the route of their brothers and ^arrive ultimately at the great boiling vats, where they are steamed until they are reasonably ten­ der. Bundles of gristle and bone melt into pulpy masses and are stirred up for the canning department. "I have seen catttle come Into Ar­ mour's stockyards so weak and ex­ hausted that they expired in the cor­ rals, where they lay for an hour or two, dead, until they were afterward hauled in, skinned, and put on the market for beef or into the canning department for cans. "In other words, the Armour estab­ lishment was selling carrion. 'There are hundreds of other men in. the employ of Mr. Armour who could verify every line I have writ­ ten. They have known of these things ever since packing has been an industry. But I do not ask them to come to the front in this matter. I stand on my oath, word for word, sen­ tence for sentence, and statement for statement. "I write this story of my own free will and volition, and no one is re­ sponsible for it but myself. It is the product of ten years of experience. It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truths so help me God. "THOMAS F. DOLAN. "Sworn to and subscribed before me this first day of March, 1899. "ORVILLE F. PURDY, "Notary Public, Kings County, N. Y. "Certificate filed in New York coun­ ty." The significance of this statement, as Mr. Sinclair notes, is heightened by the fact that, published as it was in a newspaper of prominence, whose proprietor is a man of Immense wealth and could be reached by the oourts, Mr. Armour made no move to insti­ tute suit for libel, practically admit­ ting that the statement was true. Mr. Sinclair makes the assertion, and gives abundant proof, that the worry Incidental to the "embalmed beef" scandal during the war with Spain caused the death of Philip D. Armour, and that millions of dollars were spent by the packing interests in the effort to keep concealed the truth about the matter. The awful mortality from disease among the sol­ diers during that few weeks' campaign was distinctly attributable to the meat rations supplied to the army. There seems small reason to doubt that meat as little fit for human food is still being placed on the market. How much disease and death has been the outcome may be Imagined. Summing up tjie entire facta of the situation, Mr. Sinclair concludes: "Writing in a magazine of large circulation and influence, and having the floor all to himself, Mr. Armour spoke serenely and boastfully of the quality of his meat products, and challenged the world to impeach his Integrity, but when he was brought into court charged with crime by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, he spoke in a different tone, and to a different purport; he said 'guilty.' He pleaded this to a criminal indict­ ment for selling 'preserved' minced ham in Greenburg, and paid the fine of $50 and costs. He pleaded guilty again in Shenandoah, Pa., on June .16, 1905, to the criminal charge of selling adulterated 'blockweirst;' and again he paid the fine of $50 and costs. Why should Mr. Armour be let off with fines which are of less conse­ quence to him than the price of a postage stamp to you or me, Instead of going to jail like other conyicted criminals who do not happen fed be millionaires?" :-,V • A Stone Baromet«iv|̂ '.

ROTATION OF CROPS. Conditions Which Determine Some­ what tiie Kind and Order in. i -- Which They Come. V-' Aa^to my own practice In the rela­ tion of crops, I would say that I have to be governed much by circum­ stances. One of the largest circum­ stances is the chance of getting the land seeded at every course of rota­ tion. However, we have overcome those chances by our present system to a large extent, says the correspond­ ent of the Farmers' Review. "Then we expect to commence our rotation with our land seeded in pasture or meadow. Our pasture ,or meadow is broken in early spring with a sod plow that turns the furrows fiat and smooth, and we plant to corn. We plant to corn the second year and after without plowing. Pulverize or disk thoroughly and plant; This is on condition that we cut up the corn, which we always do, and also that the corn has been thoroughly tended. Then the third year we sow oats after land has been thoroughly disked and dried with a disk drill. Then the fourth year our crop is rye, for the purpose of seeding down, which we plow in early fall and fit to the best of our ability, and sow one bushel and a peck with a disk drill. Then we sow in early March timothy and clover ia equal parts, with sometimes varied preparations. With this plan we have made seeding much more successful than seeding with oats. We have adopted the plan of clipping the clover and rye stubble about the first of September, which we think has a double advantage of mulching the seed­ ing and keeping the weeds from going to seed. We sometimes make the fourth crop a second crop of oats, and shove the rye crop along to the fifth crop. We mow^mr~n€w seeding not less than two years before pasturing. We always draw all of our manure with a manure spreader on our mead­ ows and pastures, never, on plowed land. We are in a dairy and stock dis­ trict, where we make much manure, and there is a variety of rotations as varied as the days of the week. A very large part of the "grain raised in the county is used'for feed, with much bran purchased from the northwest. THE WHITE GRUB* Insect Which Attacks the Straw­ berry Plant and How to Com­ bat the Pest. ta strawberry fields, planted on sod- land, plants are often Injured by white grubs, the larvae of the May beetle or June bug. No remedy has proved effective, since the grubs are always below the surface. The only satisfactory method is prevention. No THE BEETLE AND THE LARVAE. , old sod land should be used for a strawberry field. Where such a field must be used it should be fall plowed, at least two sea­ sons previous to planting with straw­ berries and some such crop as early cabbage, followed by crimson clover to be fall plowed and the land Immedi­ ately sown to buckwheat or rye for a winter cover crop. The following spring, after plowing, says the Orange Judd Farmer, should be a safe time to set the berry plants. From then forward frequent rotation of short period crops will keep the field free, particularly if the land is more or lesa bare in late spring and early summer. When the eggs are laid. SEED BED FOR THE GARDEN Preparation of the Soil Determines What the Success Will Be with Plants. With a view of preparing the most suitable seed bed possible for our gar­ den, which is too often neglected upon many farms, we first went over it twice with a sharp disk harrow, the saint; day it was plowed to a depth of be­ tween six and seven inches. One day's sun was allowed In which to dry off the surface of the soil so that it would not pack under the horses' feet Then a float was run over it several times, and again twice disked, and again the float until the surface was level and perfectly fine. This manner of working has given a fine loose seed bed the depth of the plowing, which will retain moisture better, cause the plant food to be avail­ able to the plants, and will be espe­ cially favorable to strong rapid ger­ mination of all garden seeds. By this method, says the Prairie Farmer, the plant requires the least possible effort upon the part of the young plants to send out roots and af­ ford connection with the soil. With this preparation we can reasonably ex­ pect cultivation to be more effectively and quickly done than if the under soil was full of large clods. ' . T.

He does in his youth the hard, difficult things that call for pluck, a sound body and a fer­ tile brain. Three cheers for the farmer boy.« C,J I W'SI A. V,. L Beible any man engaged fk bpslcfess of any kind can know whether or not his business is paying him a profit above the -cost of production, he must determine what is the cost of produc­ tion. This is always done by mer­ chants and manufacturers, and rarely done by farmers. Yet there is no cla3g of business men who need careful ac­ counts more than the farmer if he wishes to prosper and not merely drift For the farmer, who is in reality con­ ducting several businesses at once, may be losing in one department what he is making in another. He depends upon the size of his bank account or the condition of the family mortgage to measure his success. One man wbo had been keeping his books on the barn door, plan for a number of years was induced to make accurate account of every kind- of work done on his farm. He found that his beef cattle, his hogs and his wheat field were all losing ventures; that the dairy paid a fair profit, and that the poultry de­ partment was the most profitable of all. Who can deny in the face of such a revelation that knowledge is power? A great many farmers would like to know what a bushel of corn costs, or a gallon of milk, or a pound of live pork, but they are either too indolent or too ignorant to get down to business and find out. Take first an Inventory of all prop­ erty; then record cost of articles pur­ chased and the price received for every species of produce sold. It then re­ quires an estimate, based upon market values, of every item produced upon the farm. It means a proper valuation being placed upon one's own labor; an estimate for rent or Interest; Insur­ ance; depreciation in value of stock and merchandise; wear and tear. After some study of the matter every man will evolve a scheme which seems best suited to his own needs. Mr. F. H. Scribner of Rosendale, Wis., Is a business farmer, says the Farmers' Voice. He has a herd of 65 beautiful JerseyS, all registered and many of them prize winners. He has 80 acres of land which at one time wouldn't grow weeds, but now is near the top notch of fertility. At our re­ quest he has furnished a few figures which will be of interest, both as to their absolute value to the farmer and stockman and also as showing how careful business methods are rewarded by a satisfactory ledger balance.

'\j On soil that is inclined tt> lump np some implement must be used which will level the soil readily, and at the same time crush the clods. Such an im­ plement can readily be made at home and be quite as effective as those THE SPLIT LOG SOIL PULVERIZER. which must be bought for the purpose, if one has a leaning toward manufac­ tured articles. This home-made clod crusher and soil levelercan be made of a log of hard' wood Dy splitting It in half. The log should be about two feet in di­ ameter to work to the best advantage. Lay the two halves of the log side by side with the rounding part down and at either end, about a foot from the end, spike a two by four strip, letting them project out sufficiently far at one side so that an iron strip or hoop may be set over the ends, into which to hook the whiffltree chains. This im­ plement can be made at small cost, says the Indianapolis News, and un­ less the logs are too heavy a good team of horses can handle it nicely. The illustration shows the idea clearly and how very simple It is. Drains in Barnyards. Drains in barnyards should not be sub-earth drains unless the soil of the Parnyard is of a soft, loose texture Wherever the barnyard Is composed or a compacting soil, such as ordinary soli suitable for tillage purposes, the drain laid two or three feet under the sur* fuco will quickly become useless. The Etock soon tramp the ground into such a hard mass that it becomes imper­ vious to water, and the latter cannot g«»t down to the drain. If a drain ia to be laid under the surface it should b^ run so close to the fence or the buildings that the stock cannot walk on top of It. The rest of the land should slope in the direction of the drain. Surface drains, says the Farm­ er's Review, are always adapted to •barnyards, but these also should be rue near the fences or barns. iiMiiUIMUl AVcgefable PrcparationforAs- similating theFoodandRegula- ting the Stomachs and Dowels of I N F A N I S ( H l l .
