Sailing the Cows

We used to know careful farmers
who made it practice to salt COWS
every Sunday afternoon, after return
from church. Once a week is better
than leaving the sailing to accident,
but if salt is placed where cows can
get it all the time they Will not eat
too much of it. Rock salt is best.
Leave large Jumps of it where the
COWS can lick them, ana you will find
that they will soon learn to visit them
daily, taking a small amount at each
time. Thus fed there is no tempta-
ton to get more salt than is for the
animals good. Salt in quantity can
not be digested, and, of course, oper-
ates as powerful purgative, besides
fnturing digestion Eaten in moder-
ate amounts it makes the digestion
better. Exchange.

Early Tobacco Culture.

Tobacco was noted by Columbus On
his very first voyage. 1t was first cul-
tlvated by John Rolfe in 1912, and as
early as 1919 lot of 20, 900 pounds
was shipped to England. In 1892 a
tobacco factory was started on the
Rappahannock River, and about 1869
the first south Of the James River
was built in Mecklenburg County.
In l745 the exports from Virginia
amounted to 2,841 hogsheads Of
about 1000 pounds each, and in
creased till 1853, after which there
was a decline until after the revolu-
ton. 1T is now grown in most OF
the Southern States, with Kentucky
in the lead.

Depth of Corn Roots.

The following experiment was made
by the North Dakota Agricultural
! College for the purpose of ascertain
ing the length of roots of corn and
wheat: An iron frame was con.
structed in the shape of a cube five
or six feet in each of its dimensions.
The frame was filled with shelves of
wire netting, placed one above the
other, with an intervening space of
about two inches. These frames were
then sunk in the ground entirely be-
meath the surface. Corn and wheat
were then planted on the ground.and
as the plants grew the roots were not
oDstructed by the layers of wire net

but forced their way readily through
the meshes- In the fall the frames
were carefully dug out and the soil
washed away with water. The net
ting held the roots in the very posi-
tlon1n which they grew, and a valu-
able object lesson for the study of
root growth was thus presented. The
roots of the corn plant had gone be-
yOnd its six-foot limit, and some of
the roots were broken off in removing
the frame. In the case of the wheat
plant, some of the roots had gone
downward to a depth of between
three and four feet

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR
RURAL READERS.
Points of Law for Farmers When to
Water HOrses-Pneumatic Fountain for

Fertility of Pastures, Etc.
FarIn Law.

There are certain points Of aW
that govern the rights of farmers
that should be known to be used as a
guard against personal liability, as
well as toprotect against an infringe
ment of rights The question of
right to fruit growing upon branches
OF a tree standing upon land of one
and Overhanglng land of another is
liable to arise 1t is a settled prin-
| ciple of law that where a tree grows
near boundary line and the roots
extend upon the land of another and
derive n0urishment from such land,
even though the branches extend
oyer the line overhanging a neigh
boris land, the entire tree is the prop
erty of him on whose land it stands,
together with all the fruit growing
thereon, and it has been decided by
the courts OF Vermont, Connecticut,
and New York, that any attempt to
prevent the reaching over and pick
Ing such fruit on the part of such
nelghbOr makes an actiOnable case of
assault and battery. In case in
New York where the daughter of the
owner of cherry tree stood upon the
division fence and attempted to pick
fruit from a limb overhanging a
nelghbor's land and on being forbidden
by such neighbor persisted, the neigh
Dor IN attempting to prevent used |
force, but did no personal injury. On !
an action the court awarded and |
the neighbor was obliged to pay |
1000 Regarding the right to enter
upon the land of neighbor to secure
fruit fallen from overhanging
branches the law does not seem to be
fully settled although decisions in
Massachusetts and Vermont seem to
imply that such right existed if it
could be executed without injury to
the neighb0r. These points are
hut family understood by
average farmers. We Judge so for
5he reason that we heard of a case
where the fruit from overhanging
branches was all picked by means of
ladder. No trouble grew out of
he case although the two owners
we're at variance, but it is quite clear
hat the fruit being the property of 1
he owner of the tree, the taking of S
t by another made a clear case of S

WHAT causes holes in bread? A
great many people would unhesitat.
1ngly say that dishonest baker is
the prime cause; but the baker is
generally as much in the dark as any
one else. A writer in the British
Baker and Confectioner calls atten-
ton to the fact that these holes are
never found in sour bread. He con-
cludes. therefore, that fermentation
is one OF the leading causes. How
ever, as sour bread is due to excessive
fermentation, he concludes that holes
