Fertiiiyinr Corn,

1t Is quite reasonable to suppose
that plants can be gorged with food,
as animals may be, and that injury
may result from it. This is quite true
as regards corn. The corn plant has
a long season of active growth. 1t re-
quires about 100 days for its maturi-
ty. If all thefoOd which is required to
mature the plant isadded to the soil in
asOluble and available condition at the
planting, a large quantity may be lost
before the plant can utilize it. Solu-
BILE fertilizers ditfuse themselves in a
moist soil with great rapidity, and
are quickly carried off by the drainage
water into thesubsoil. Sir J. b. Lawes
has noticed the nitric acid of nitrate
of soda, which has been applied to
the surface soil, escaping in the water
flowing from the drains, IN fOrty-elght
hours after the application. If, then,
600 pounds of this fertilizer should be
applied to the corn crop before the
sowing OF the seed, it will begin to be
lost before single root has been
formed to arrest its escape. This fact
is given only as Hn instance OF how
fertilizers may be lost by misappiica-
ton. At the best, an excess OF Ter
tilizing material given to corn in its
early stages forces a rank growth OF
stalk, and the plant food is exhausted
before it can be converted into grain,
which is the most valuable part OF the
crop. During some years past we
have been growing corn under a new
system Of fertilizing, which is to apply
the fertilizer at intervals, rs alter
each time of cultivation, instead OF
before and Immediately after the
planting. The effect mas been to no
tably increase the yield OF grain, and
decrease the growth of stalk. By this
method eighty bushels of grain per
acre have been produced, and III grow
ing sweet corn for sale, fine, large and
we'll filled ears are secured. The Ter
tilizer is busted along the rows before
the cultivator is used, or immediately
after. and the first shower carries 1t
down to the roots. The samemethod
of applying fertilizers has been used
for root crops with favOrableresults.-

Roast Horse in Engiad.


There are many people who prefer
horse to beef, but, as it is a point in
dispute, practical step for solving
the doubt Is being taken in Manches-
ter. a hundred horses are slaughtered
III that city every week, and cut up
and sold as butchers meat" The
trade is carried on in the poor dis
tricts, where the steaks find ready
purchasers at prices ranging from )
pence to : pence per pound. There
can be no pretense for saying that the
flesh OF healthy horse is not fit for
human food. There are epicures who
prefer 1t to the choicest beef, but it has
been their rare good fortune to get "a
dainty dish" which does not ordinari-
ly come into the market.
The question is not whether the flesh
Is fit to be eaten, but whether whole
some animal is killed for sale. It will
not pay a butcher to buy a healthy
horse to slaughter and retail at pfices
lower than is paid for beef, and it may
therefore be safely assumed that the
animals which find their way TO the
shameless are either diseased or so
fused up as to render them quite I'M
suitable for a poor mans table
There is no doubt, then, that cruel
fraud Is perpetrated upon the buyer
OF this stuff by the butcher who deals
in it, and the only way to check it is
by regulating the sale under specific
conditions, and this is what they are
trying TO bring about in Manchester.
When the restrictions are enforced it
will be interesting to note whether
horsetiesh at pence per pound can
compete with American beef.

Pepper for Cabbage.

Black pepper is the cabbage prOtec-
tor, and the way to apply is to reduce
to the finest powder possible and put
into a cloth that you can cause it to
dust through by striking it with the
finger. Go early in the morning while
the dew is on the cabbage, and dust a
small quantity on each plant, and the
vermin will go without standingon the

Sheep.

Have you sheep? If not, get some.
They were never cheaper, and never

fresh mutton for your table; let the
wool come in as an "incidental" II
you cannot raise the needed money,

the shOtes intended for next fall's kill

We know Just what we are writing
about, and we mean it. You ought to
raise every calf, and We are not going
to advise you to "veal" single one,
but if you feel that you must, don't
sell it to the butcher. Keep it until
at least five weeks old, make it thor
Oughly fat, kin 1t yourself, and keep
at least one quarter" for your own
table. Sell the other quarters" to
some parties who know what good
veal is and are willing to pay for it.
You will get more for them than from
the butcher for the whole calf, have a
week s good living for yourself out of
the head, liver, and the other quarter,
and have the hide for the trouble of
killing. And so with eggs and poultry;
supply your own table first, and sell
the surplus. OF course sell the early
broilers.' Townspeople are willing to
pay high prices for them, and don't
know that the old hen, which they so
much despise, is infinitely better, if
properly cooked, as well as greatly
cheaper. And so on through the sea

Salt on Meadow Land.

The first experiment made with salt
on meadow land was i'll 1915, when f.
HUFFMAN, German investigator
made an application of it with very
marked success. With chloride of am
monium, the gain over a piece of I'M
MANFRED land of the same size and
quantity was $40 pounds of hay;
with the addition of 40 pounds OF
salt the gain was 1851 pounds OF
hay.
In experiments made at the Michi-
gan Agricultural College it was found
that three bushels of salt in three
years gavean increase of 1926 pounds
of hay to the acre, and three bushels
of salt with twenty loads of muck
gave an increase of 6,0S5 pounds.
This tells III a striking manner the in
lluence of salt on the hay crop on light
soil.-ManuaI of OnOndaga Salt.

The caseln or curd is the nitrOge-
neOus matter contained in the cream
and thence finds its way into the but
ter. The less casein a butter contains
the better. Like all other albuminous
matter it is likely to induce decompo-
sition by acting as n ferment. An ex-
cess of casein renders necessary an ex-
cess of salt to counterfeit the influence
OF nltrogenOus matter; consequently a

of the increase in weight of water,
curd and salt, for butter not well
worked will hold u per cent. ofwater
An excess Of this amount should be
treated as an adulteration, or at least
an evidence of carelessness on the part
of the manufacturer.

Butyric acid has also been found in
large quantities in the locust bean, in
gherkins, and in sour krout. 1t is
formed by the fermentation of sugar,
starch and Tactic acid, in which way it
is artlticlally prepared. 1t is found in
no other fat but butter.
There are three other acids found in
butter-caproic acid, caprylic acid and
capric acid.
Caproic acid is volatile and soluble
IN water and alcohol. II Is not only
found IN butter, but also in cocoanut
oil; also In human sweat and cheese.
Caprylc acid closely resembles cap
re acid, but It's boiling point is much
higher.
Capric acid is n white crystalline
body fusing at 20 degrees c., not VIOLA
tile, slightly soluble in water, but easi-
ly IN alcohol and ether. 1t smells like
the sweat OF goat. 1t occurs in but
ter, cocoanut oil, cod liver oil and fusil
oil. There were until recently no
methods for separating these sub
stances perfectly, and all analyses
dealing with these bodies as separate
constituents can only be approx
mate. There have been but few at
tempts by chemists to estimate the
exact amount of volatile acids in but
ter, notwithstanding it must appear
to every one matter of the highest
Importance; for 1t Is we'll known that
no other ANIMAL tat contains volatile
acids, and that therefore they are the
characteristic constituents OF butter.
This butyric acid probably does not
exceed more than 5 or per cent. of
the butter, but its appearance and
flavor are so very different from all
other fats that it is easily distinguisha-
bic If kept from the light and well
packed. For pure butter containing
these volatile acids as it does i'm either
fresh or salt state, after exposure to
the air in a divided state, will turn al
most tallow in appearance, odor and
taste, IN a short time.
II you take several samples of but
ter and spread them out upon a sheet
OF paper and expose them to the light
and fresh air, at the end of a week
they are indistinguishable from tallow
because the volatile butyric acid has
escaped and eftnothing but the tallov
tat. But the most volatile constitu-
ent OF butter Is water. In the process
OF manufacture smaller or larger guam
titles are incorporated in the butter.
TO remove 1T entirely is impossible,
but it should be squeezed out as com
pletely us possible. A good quality
OF butter ought to bear about the fol-
lowing COmDoSItlOu.
