Home NTnde Fertilizers.

From the Connecticut Experiment sta
tion has been received report of the re-
suits of SS7 samples of home made ferti
lizers analysed, together with conclusions
drawn from these analyses. The valuation
per ton set on these home made fertilizers
runs all the way from S41.22 to $26.53;
the cost of the chemicals (unmiSed) of
from $37.3S to $28 per ton. Examina-
tions of the samples and of the table of
analyses make it seem that:
First-That these home mixtures COM
pare favorably in composition with the
best commercial fertilizers. In all cases
but one the valuation is higher than the
average valuation of factory made super
phOsphates or specials analysed last year.
Second-While the home mixtures are
not as finely ground as the best factory
made fertilizers, they are yet satisfactory
III this respect.
Third-In only one case does cost of
materials exceed valuation Ii we add So
per ton for cost Of mixing the valuation
and the cost will still be about the same.
The cost of factory made fertilizers
usually exceeds valuation 20 to % per
cent. These analyses seem to Justify the
statement made in the last report that
while it is oftener cheaper for the pur-
chaser to buy the best commercial mix
lures, ammoniated superphosphates and
special manures, than to buy the chem
icals and mix them, yet the experience of
D yearly increasing number of farmers
shows that often money may be saved by
the seasonable purchase of raw materials
and their use in home mixtures.

grain crops. consequently n1gn price
for the cereal was also the cause of fore
ing upon the markets from among the
farmers OF the other grain growing
States large numbers of cattle, which
also had an influence on market values.
&" The future of this country" con-
tinued Mr. Head, sis bright with prom
ise of increase in the population of the
human family beyond the ratio of in
crease of beef producing animals, to-
gether with the opening OF new demands
in foreign countries for preserved Amer
shortage in the supply as compared with
the demand at an early period"
"What is the number and value Of the
cattle in the range countryF l asked.
The probable number" said Mr..
Head, "of cattle upon the grazing terri
tory of the United States west of the
Missouri River at the present time, is
IL, 800, ,000 compared with 1900 900 few
years ago, and their present value is
about 5000, 100000"
Thus the range country has had short
but wonderful history. Immigration is
coming with a resistless tide. Ex. Gov
ernor Routt, one of the great cattle own
ers of the West, when speaking of how
the ranges were being so rapidly settled
recently said, "The COW must give way to
Nancy and the baby" The first indica-
tion of the coming of this great tide of
immigration was manifested by cattle
men putting up wire fences and enclos-
ing vast areas of land. This sufficed for
time, but immigration still continued
and then after much litigation the courts
said, "Take down your wire fences" AS
the cattlemen occupied these great
ranges a quarter of century before 1t
was everthought possible for them to have
any value for agricultural purposes, it is
not strange that they should have made
the determined fight they have. The
plowshare now glistens in the old "Amer-
ican Desert" and the old cattle trails are
being turned into farms. The East can
hardly realize the wonderful changes
that are taking place. Within twenty
five years, the buffalo, which used to
roam these plains by the tens of thou
sands, are almost extinct. The great
herds of the cattle kings took the place of
the bison, but now the cattle ranges are
being turned into farms.
What will be the resultP The general
impression is that there will be more cat
tie, but with more owners. The public
domain will soon all be taken, which will
necessitate the dividing and subdividing
of the great herds. The result will come
about In natural way and without loss,
butrather with profit. AS the grazing area
becomes more circumscribed the greater

A New Hampshire correspondent in
Poultry World says: For the past five
years we have been entirely exempt from
it. saw it stated in an English Journal
that the gapeworm sprang from the louise
that infests the heads of chickens the
first ten days after Matching; and if the
hen was entirely free from lice while sit
ting, the chicks would not have the gape-
worm. Since that time we have made
sure that lice were eXterminated from all
sitting hens and their nests, and the cape
worm has given us no more trouble
So far as can be judged from what has
fallen under my observation, the above is
the real solution of the cape difficulty.
Inever saw gapes among chicks Matched
in an incubator. The chicks get the lice
from the hen, and the hen can, by the
proper treatment, be made as free from
lice as an incubator. When the hen is
first given the clutch of eggs, dust Dal-
matian insect powder among her feathers,
and repeat the operation few days be-
fore the eggs hatch, and the lice will be
disposed of. Tobacco dust is also sure
and cheap destruction for lice, but not
quite as suitable for the incubating hen

DUTY UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Eoollng a sherln and Getting Fooled

Fooling a Sheriff and Getting Fooled.
Here are two stories of Maine sheriffs.
The first was little Aroostook man,
and one day he went with warrant to
arrest a certain farmer. He found him
in the field and made known his errand.
"All right" said the farmer, big,
burly fellow, 'T'm ready" and with that
he lay dowA at full length on the ground.
"But you don't expect me to carry you,
do your" asked the sheriff.
Certainly; you must take my body,
you know"
"Will you wait till get team2"
Cant say" and the upshot was that
the sheriff went back without his pris-
oner.
The other sheriff was Franklin county
man, likewise small, but plucky. He was
sent to arrest notorious offender, 200
FOUNDER, and found him on the hillside.
Grinning at the officer, he lay back on the
grass, saying:
"If you get me you'll have to take me-"
Quick as wink the sheriff grabbed the
fellow by his feet and started down hill
with him as fast as he could go; and the
humping the big man got soon shook all
the fun out of him, and he begged to be
allowed to walk quietly by the side of the
sheriff.

promising. Climatic CONDITIONS during
the past year, and more especially during
the past winter and present spring, have
been exceptionally favorable" continued
Mr.. Head, ''and the results have been Of
the most satisfactory character. While
it is true that prices on the beef markets,
as rule, have prevailed low for three
years, many reasonable causes exist
for it, and not the least of these has been
the rapid requirement by settlers of the
former range country, thus causing hun
,dreds OF thousands of cattle to seek mar
kets of slaughter in an immature and
wholly unfit condition. Then there have

The roundup; what does it mean9 West of
the Missouri River in the grazing country
it is estimated That there are l2500,000
cattle valued at S200,000000, These mil
lions of cattle are rounded up, calves
branded and losses or gains estimated.
The round up usually begins late in the
spring in Texas, and in early summer in
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. 1t is
early or late, depending on the favorable
opening Of the spring months. 1t is a
wonderful industry and those unac-
quainted with the West can hardly real
ize the magnitude and the great work of
rounding up all the cattle on the ranges
between Old Mexico on the South and
the British possessions on the North.
But it is done in n most systematic and
business like manner, all of this vast re.
gion being laid off into round up dis
tricts with as well defined boundary lines
almost as the wards Of a great city.
Heavy shipments of cattle are now be-
ing made to the northern ranges. Dur
ing the past ten days So 900 head of cattle
have been shipped through Denver from
the South en- route North. Montana es-
pecially has been heavy buyer. Over
$4,000 head are now on the southern
boundary line of Colorado going through
the necessary quarantine regulations and
awaiting shjpment. The fact that herds
are often quarantined must not be con-
sidered in the light that they are dis
eased, but so many millions of dollars
are invested in this industry that cattle
men are cautious. An infectious disease
would make millionaire penniless.
Herds of cattle, sometimes numbering
many thousand, are as carefully scrutin-
lied as ship quarantined at New York
City.

SHUTS AFFECTING WHEAT.
Remedies That Have Proven Successful
in Various Sections.

Large losses recur annually to the
wheat crop through the injurious agency
of smuts. The disease variously termed
hard smut, bunt, smut bolls, ETC., causes
not only large percentage of loss in
grain, but reduces the value of what is
grown by imparting to the crop a fetid
odor, which has given rise to the name
"stinking smut" in some localities. While
wheat is growing it is difficult to distin-
guish hard smut as it is in the young
kernel of the wheat, which is hidden by
the chaff, that the characteristic black
spores are produced. When wheat grains
have been destroyed by hard smut they
