High freight rates make iron and steel machinery very costly, and the, use of concrete rims for the flywheels of ten pumps is stated to have realized a saving of about $10,000. The flywheels are driv- en by electric motors through worm gear about twenty revolutions per minute. Each wheel is fourteen feet in diameter, with a cast iron bosses in which sixteen spokes of four-inch tube are screwed, and the rim has a base and an outside of one-fourth inch sheet iron strips, senarated by dis- tance pieces. The strips are bolted together, the concrete rim between being thirteen inches wide and thir- teen inches deep, strengthened by four one-fourth inch wires Interlaced with the distance pieces. The weight of the wheel is 8,000 pounds and that of the rim 6,000 pounds. Mark Twain in his lifetime has earned $700,000. © More proof that Lydia E.

Setting Out Fruit Trees. The farm home that does not have a good orchard, vineyard and plenty of small fruits 1s missinz something worth while. Why are there so many farms without fruits? Surely not be- cause the family does not care for fruit. The real reason is because of the ‘rush of farm work during the spring there is not time to get the ground ready and set out the trees or plants. Then many make a half-heart- ed attempt at it, and having poor suc- cess give up the orchard to weeds and live stock. Go at the work right. Pre- pare the ground thoroughly, and set out the best trees and plants you can get. Apples, plums, pears, grapes, blackberries, raspberries and straw- berries may all be- grown easily and within a few years. . Order your stock early and when it comes don’t leave it dying around the freight depot for two or three days. Get it home and if your ground is not ready heel in the trees until you are ready to set them out.—Indiana Farmer. ® Forcing Hogs for Killing. Many farmers are now forcing their pigs to make the greatest possible gain in weight before “killing time.” The office of experiment stations of the Department of Agriculture summarizes some Wisconsin. station pig feeding ex- periments covering a period of ten years, with the following conclusions: ‘Where there is plenty of time for ma- turing the pigs, and it is not necessary to secure the maximum daily Zain, it Is doubtful if it pays to grind corn for pigs. The test shows that where quick maturity is an important item, better results are secured from corn meal. ‘Pigs fed corn meal eat more grain and make somewhat larger daily gains. Corn meal ean doubtless be fed to good advantage in finishing off a bunch of hogs which were first fed shalled corn. Changing over to corn meal near the close of the feeding period also furnishes a change in the character of the ration which will be satisfactory to the animals. When fitting hogs to show, sale, or in high pressure feeding for mdrket, the feed-. er will consider it advisable to grind the corn, even though it is expensive to do so. Raps Pastures. Although we have never grown rape on our farm, writes a correspondent, it has been grown by several of the neighboring farmers and I have paid close attention to their success with it. I intend to try a few acres next sea- son. As pasture for hogs in the spring and early part of the summer I do not think we can find anything equal to it. Young hogs that run on rape pasture through the monthe of April, May and June are very healthy and heavy boned they are in excellent condition for the feed lot. Rape seems to grow much better in rather moist ground.. The plant, which slightly resembles cabbage, thrives best in rich soil. The ground should be in fine condition. Give the ground several harrowings. The best time to sow the seed is in March or first half of April.. Sow broadcast. Rape can endure considerable cold weather, but not very much dry weather during the summer, if there is a scarcity of rain the plant becomes tough, and there is very little growth. Rape also makes a fine pasture for sheep. It is more Yalunble for sheep and also steer all or winter. When i raised for the puri > it is- better to : drill it, in rows al | along in May. Very crops can be cut in one season. makes excellent feed for lambs. , Many farmers do not know the pos- sibilities of rape, and it is not as ex- tensively- grown as it should be or as ana Farmer. New Life on the Farm. New York, in a recent talk to the farmers of that state said that schools should be well in touch with affairs of farm life, and further: “I believe in the rural schools. like other social institutions in But the development, as compared with the like situations in the city. With the telephone, the multiplied means .of transportation, the ¢ountry is not go- ing to tumble-headlong into the city, but the city is going to move out into the country, forming small suburban centers. “There is going to be more difficulty in ge'ting a living from farm lands hereafter. ‘The problems the farm will have to face are twenty times more numerous and more complex than fif- ty years ago. So we are brought to a new point of view towards agricul- tural life and industry. If you be- lieve there are possibilities of making a gcod living on the land, and life on the land is highly honorable, stick to it. If the city life gets the best young men and women who are brought up in the country, it will be the city’s glory and the country’s fault for not developing this point of view, the appreciation of the science of agri- culture, and for not keepiflg in touch with social instructions of our age in the rural districts as well as in the city. And this reorganization of the rural school #¥ goinz to be a great part in this development of the rural life and community. “The farm labor problem will not be settled until you train up farm arti- sans who have pride in their work as the shop artisan has in his work.” Notes for The Farmer. The barrel churn is not excelled for making good butter. The general market prefers butter with color like what is usual in June. Excessive washing may remove some of the volatile oils from butter and lessen is delicate flavor. Consumers of butter are very often the best to sell a high grade to, but the seller should consider the cost of delivering. Cows that have to drink unclean water do not give choice milk; and af- ter they have waded in nasty water, their udders are filthy and defile milk. Do not keep on churning till the but- ter .gathers in large lumps. Stop when the butter granules are the size of wheat grains and float freely on the buttermilk. If starting with a cream separator, study carefully the directions of the manufacturer. He knows what his machinery can do and how to use it to the best advantage. If a barrel churn is run too fast, the cream will not fall from one end to the other as is should; and if run too slow, the cream will slip along the sides of the churn and fail to be agi- tated enough. If the buttermilk is strained through cheese cloth or a hair-strainer, crumbs of butter will be caught that would otherwise be lost. Keep the cheese cloth or the rair strainer scrupulously clean, or the butter may deteriorate. Under cleanly farm conditions, the lactic acid bacteria predominates over all other kinds; and the lactic acid ones are the helpful kind. The bad cnes are carried in dirt. Keep dirt out of milk, and the bad ones will be largely kept out. The importance of 4-cleanliness is so great that the subject will bear being recalled to mind now and then.—From “Drops of Dairy Cream” in the Progressive Farmer, Wolf Hunter's Record. Ninety-three timber wolves killed in less than a month’s time is the record made by James Macintyre of Quatsino, who has presented a. bill to the govern- ment agent here for $1395, the amount of bounty at the rate of $15 a head. _ An examination of Mr, Macintyre’s account showed that some of the wolves were killed before February 1, the date on which the increased boun- ty came into effect, and on these he will be allowed only $5 per head, but he has evidence enough of February's work to make his claim when revised amount to about $1000. It is reported that Indians up the coast, who have learned of the in- creasecvcvx vxv X shrd s ta setaoinn crease in bounty on panthers and wolves to $15 a head each, have tak- en to the woods on a hunt, and it is expected that they will soon have large sums to collect from the govern- ment.— New Alberni Press.

Thomas Dixon Points Out . Slumps in Churches. There are fewer Baptists, Metho- dists and Presbyterians in New York today than there werg 25 years ago, though the city’s population has been more than doubled. The rapid ex- tinction of churches of these denom- inations in Manhattan during the past decade shows this. In 1896 the Bap- tists reported 64 churches. Last year they only claimed 48. Many of these claims are pitiful absurdities -—mere names of mission halls and soup kitchens, supported by the char- ity of one or two rich men. One- half of them represent hopes as yet unfulfilled, declares Thomas Dixon, Jr., in Broadway. Magazine. - The - same thing is true of the Methodists, who reported 73 churches in 1896 and only claim 59 in 1907. The Presbyterians reported 71 in 1896 and only 57 last year. In the year 1840. New: York City had one church to every 1,800 in population. Last year we could not find one church to 4,000 population, counting all our soup kitchens and mission halls as “churches.” There are many sections of the city which are practically pagan. One district of 16,000 population, which is typical of many more, has one saloon to 111 inhabitants, and ome church to 8,196. In another large district there are some 50,000 ichabitants, with a sa- In the section between Twenty-fourth and Fifty- ninth streets west of Ninth avenue there is but cne church to 15,000; while the district between Fortieth and Sixty-fourth streets west of Tenth avenue contains 46,563 people, and has but one church. / And the sad part of the story is that many of these churches that are reckoned on the map as living and performing their duties to these vast it.
