REPORTS from all sections of Ea

REPORTS from all sections of Eastern
Pennsylvania state that the condition OF
the growing wheat and rye is favorable,
and that both cereals are in excellent
condition for the winter season. The
agricultural class feel encouraged by the
fact that recent sales of farms show that
values have appreciated about % per
cent. over the prices realized for similar
properties six months ago. The general
consensus of opinion is that diversified
farming will take prominence in the
future, instead of depending solely upon
cereals.

EVERY infant industry whose nursing
at the government breast has been the
least particle interfered with by the pro-
posed change in the tariff, will now be
crying that the country is going to
hades. Meanwhile the common every
day people who have been standing on
their own bottom, making their own
living, while helping to keep up the pro
tected infants, will look camIy on with
the firm conviction, that had the lusty
infants been weaned younger they
would have beloved less. They have
been kept at the breast too long.

IT is expected that President Cleve-

of their principal argument-the allega-

out 1t speedily became clear that water did not wash away. excepting
IN very small quantities and only under certain conditions, those three
constituents, which experience had asceytained already as valuable.
AND this is the present condition of the question; whether a soil
needs potash or phosphoric acid or nitrogen, experience will indicate
more truly than analysis and should in every case be the farmers
guide.
II water, however, does not remove from a soil valuable mineral
ohsutuent 1t might be expected that artificial soluble fertilizers
brought upon it would become fixed and not be lost by surface or
underdran flows; and this is proved to be, whether we use salts of
potash PhosPhorlc acid or ammonia upon a soil, none 0 at the most
Dut very little are lost by rains. We may apply them in spring or fall,
they remain our property, our store, and it is remarkable that the
three substances mentioned, which are the most essential to the
development OF plants and the raising of good crops, are retained by
tn o more readily and in larger quantities than the other less
important ash constituents and are plainly and easily under our
uoie, 81 ina water a remove but traces of them, they are yet in
condition to be easily appropriated by the plants, a condition entirely
inherent from the one IN which we know them to exist, 1. {. in bones
or ordinary bone black. To be of immediate value, we must get
these fertilizers then in soluble form, a point we need not trouble
ABOUT as to salts OF ammonia, a S they are all soluble, but of much
importance in the cases of potash and phosphoric acid. This is the
reason tnat all manufactures OF mineral fertilizers sold, state the per-
centages of these two substances, the soluble as well as the insoluble
form TO: each of which a totally different valuation prevails. A
knowledge OF the true composition of a fertilizer is therefore a matter
OF great financial Importance, and where large quantities of it are
consumed state supervision must be exercised to keep it true to its
representation. Laws to this effect are in operation in many states,
our WI Legislature having enacted one during the past winter for the
purpose, apparently, of protecting the farmer; it is unfortunately a
ve.y imperfect instrument but may serve a a basis for a subsequent
better one.
What, now, is the explanation of this wonderful property of the
sou by which it retains from a solution Just those constituents which
are OF paramount Importance to the crop and permit the others,
already present in sufficient quantity to drain off? We must find an
answer to it, or an intelligent understanding of the fertilizer question
is impossible. An answer can, fortunately, be given it and some
practical differences and conclusions will appear in a later issue.

NOTES FROM U. S. EXPERIMENT
STATION RECORD.
EXPERIMENT STATION WORK.

EXPERIMENT STATION WORK.
Speaking of agricultural experiment station work, the editor of
the Experiment Station Record says: ''There is a danger that in
Welding to al; local demand for the testing of new crops or the
improvement of the old ones, the real interests of even that locality
may be sacrificed. Ifthere is little prospect that even under improved
of a crop, it is doubtful whether a station should by means of impor-
tant experiments increase the interest of the farmers of its region
in that crop. 1t would be better to divert their attention to something
which will be likely to bring them more profit. = = = = Asst
becomes increasingly clear that the agricultural prosperity of any
region of country depends very largely on conditions which are world
wide in their influence, not only the farmer but also the experimenter
should, as far ais practicable, shape his work with reference to these
conditions.
BEES IN RELATION TO FRUIT
Is the subject of Bulletin No. 81, of the Ontario College Station. In
April, 1902, the legislature of Ontario passed an act forbidding the
spraying of fruit trees, during the blooming period, with 'any mixture
containing Parisgreen or any other poisonous substance injurious to
bees In view of the discussion among fruit growers and bee
keepers as to the wisdom of this act, this bulletin gives information
regarding the functions performed by bees in the polinaton of fruits,
show that spraying trees in bloom with Paris-green is likely to be
very injurious to bees, and in some degree to the fruit as well.
INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS.
In the Maine Station Reports for 1901 and 1892, the following
statements are made: sin the case of several brands the figures are
such as to cause grave doubts as to whether the manufacturers are not
using what are regarded as low-grade ammoniates, that is, ammoni-
ates coming from such materials as hoof, horn, leather, etc, which
we have reason to suppose will decompose slowly in the soil and are,
therefore, poorly adapted for use with quickly growing plants. 1t is
at least safe to affirm that with a large number of these fertilizers
the solubnity of the organic matter comes far short OF that which
dried blood. coton-seed meal, dried flesh and similar materials are
known to have.
-"In the case of sixty-four brands of fertilizers analysed, the
average selling price IS given to the station agent was $34.oo. The
average station valuation of the same brands wa Sz4o7, or $ro less
than the selling price. . = . In the case of seventeen brands
sold by two leading manufacturers, the average selling price is
Mexico weekly ledger., 1893-06-15

$s6sS, and the average station valuation Ss7o5, a difference of
1888, or 81 is percent. of the cost in the market.
at appears then that even with the manufacturers most largely
patronized there is a margin of over So between what farmers are
actually paying for a ton of super phosphates and the cost of the
same amount of plant food in unmixed goods when bought in the
large markets.
"f farmers are to purchase commercial plant food, great advan-
tage would result in a change to the following system:
"() The buying of plant food as such, under proper names, thus
avoiding the confusion and uncertainty attending the purchase of an
cver-ncreaslng number of brands whose names mean little or nothing.
"(2) The purchase of fertilizers in large quantities for cash.
BACTERIA IN DAIRYING.
The preliminary report of Prof. Georgeson, recently sent to
Denmark as special agent of this Department (of Agriculture) to
study the dairy industry of that country, brings out the very interesting
and important fact that the uniformly good quality of Danish butter
is principally due to the Use of pure cultures of bacteria for ripening
cream, which have SO far obtained the approval of practical dairy men
dairies.'
1t is evident that any practical plan for the wide distribution and
use OF these butter ferments will revolutionize the dairy industry, and
there seems to be no good reason why bacteria should not be used IN
butter making as generally as yeasts now are in bread-making and
brewing.
EFFECTS OF FOOD ON MILK.
In a bulletin published by the Danish State Experiment Station
the experimenters give the following summary of their work in this
line during the past five years: sin the comparative feeding trial
with mich cows now conducted for five successive years, in which
II5s cows divided into II2 lots, on nine farms in different parts of
our country have been included, barley and oats have been compared
with rutabagas, and with oil cake, grain and oil cake have been
compared with rutabagas, and rutabagas have been given IS addi-
changes made in the food of the cows have shown practically no
effects on the chemical composition of the milk
In Bulletin No. So of the Ontario College Station, on the same SUBJ
jet occurs this statement: The extra grain 'sdid not affect the per
cent. of fat in the milk to any great extent"
In the Maine Station Report for 1891, occurs the fonwing
(1) Quite radical changes may be made in the kind of grain
ration fed without affecting the quality of the milk.
a. The tendency of butter to melt in hot weather may be
be affected.
(s.) A mixture of cotton-seed meal or linseed meal viii corn
meal and wheat bran. especially the coHon-seed meal mixture, pro-
dnces butter less easily melted and of a more solid appearance than
did peas and barley.
