A little paint added to the cleaning'will help bright- en things up and make the home more homelike. There is no way of telling just how}, much forage it will take to carry a bunch of cattle through the winter because winters are so unlike and even after winter is over, spring keeps us guessing until the last min- ute as to when we can feel sure that the pastures are able to take care of the stock. Have clean sand for concrete work as dirty sand will cause unsatisfac- tory results. The difference in the cost of a twenty-six-inch and a thirty-nine-inch woven-wire fence is not enough to make up the difference in the value of the fence after it is built. At least that is my experience. - Animals that cannot be turned by a well built thirty-nine-inch fence with barbed wire at the top are out of place on the farm. Keep the young orchard clear of weeds this season and there will be little damage from mice this winter. This was not an early spring when we figure from the farm-work stand- point. The early ones found the fields very sticky and if they stuck to their work they got their machines pretty well stuck up. Later many of them will find that their crop is nothing to feel stuck up about, because no -one hhas ever raised a bumper crop that was ‘‘mudded in.” Do you practice regularity in the feeding hour for the hogs? At the present time most of us are interested in the good roads question because, just now a heavy shower makes the average road a thing we all like to stay away from.

The high-whceled planter is a little more tiresome to hop off and onto, but have a notion that it runs stead- ier'‘and I'am certain it pulls easier. The man who almost lies down and pulls on the check every time he sets the stake need not expect very straight cross checking.

This med- icine is no stranger — it has stood the test for vears. I have never tried any of the gauges made to clamp on planter runners, to insure uniform depth of planting, but it seems to me they would be a good thing, except where trashy ground might bother some. The only thing I like about disk fur- row openers is the effect they have on making the runners carry along to a uniform depth. Keep an eye on the suckling ewes, and discard those that prove poor sucklers, hanging right to those which keep their lambs in fine con- dition till weaning time. If the sow is in the habit of losing her litter, it is the height of folly to continue breeding her, as she: has some inherited ailment. Market her at once! There are many stables that could be made lighter without adding more windows by giving them a couple of coats of whitewash on fhe inside. Not only would there be more light, but they would be more sanitary and pleasant to work in. There is no way of feeding a cow to increase the richness of her milk but is a mistake to “‘knock’’ the but- ter maker if the test drops when the cows are turned into the pasture. It is one of the things that always hap- pens and the one who does the test- ing can neither help it nor explain why. “While so deeply concerned in the cultivation of the field crops, don’t neglect the cultivation of mind and body.

G. Hertz of Kansas An Government Suit. REASON FOR THE COMBINATION President Farrell Traced Growth of Export Business in Steel From the Beginning to the Present Time. ae New York, May 13.—The United States Steel corporation was pictured by James A, Farrell, its president, as a combination organized not to sup- press its competitors, but to develop the sale of steel in foreign lands, a development which could not have been accomplished, he said, if the cor poration had not taken the various companies competing for. foreign busi- ness under its wing. He was testify- ing as the first witness for the de- fense in the government suit to dis- solve the corporation as a combina- tion in retraint of trade. The witness traced the growth of the steel corporation’s export busi- ness from 292,000 tons the first year ft was organized, to 2,246,600 tons in 1912, and from $31,000,000 in value in 1904 to $92,000,000 in 1912. The re sult had‘ been that 90 per cent of the country’s foreign trade in steel was done by the corporation, he said. No “Understandings.” *We have made the strongest effort possible to increase our foreign trade as compared with our domestic trade.” Mr). Farrell declared. “Our competitors have only been con- cerned with foreign business when domestic trade has been insufficient to keep their capacity employed.” Contradicting the testtmony of Wil- liam E. Corey, his predecessor as president of the corporation, that there had been “understandings” be- tween the corporation and foreign manufacturers as to the prices and & division of territory, Mr. Farrell said: “We have never operated under any pools or agreements with foreign manufacturers, either as to price or location. We have never entered in- to any contracts or agréements with foreign manufacturers to stay out of their market provided they would Stay out of ours.” He denied also that the corpora- tion “made a practice” of selling its products lower abroad than in this country, “In fact, some of our commodities are sold higher,” he said. World Its Market. The corporation has established agencies from “Iceland to the Fiji islands,” 268 in all, Mr. Farrell said, and as a result the export business of the subsidiaries had greatly increased, in the case of the Carnegie Steel company, to 24 per cent of its whole production. Mr, Farrell told of selling wire in Patagonia, rails in Formosa, steel bridges in Iceland and wire fencing in South Africa, Steamships had been bought or chartered to carry steel to points seldom touched on regular steamship routes, he added. This foreign trade, he further ex- plained, had been developed in the face of financial antagonism in Europe, preferential tariffs and local oppesition. Forty thousand men are now em- ployed by the corporation in manufac- turing steel for export and 15,000 more in making the steel] sold to man- ufacturers of goods sent abroad for sale,’ the latter amounting to $30,000,000.
