The extensive swamps and numerous

well known, this part of the country
IS famous for ducks. The latter are

it is upon this sort of unsportsman'

for game chiefly depends. 1t is no
unusual thing to hear of such an ex-
plot as the killing of ! 1000 reedbirds
at shot. Wild turkeys are ruth

ELECTROCULTURE,

In it's fourth annual report the Utah
station gives an account of an expert
ment in electroculture after the plan
of M. Paulin, the Frenchman.
AS it was rather late in the season
only brief experiments could be under
taken at the Utah station. A geomag-
netifer was, however, erected, and
mangel wurzels, turnips, oats, beans,
buckwheat and potatoes were selected
to demonstrate the effect of electricity
on plant growth.
The results went far to prove the
correctness of M. Paulin's theory. In
the experiments with mangel wurzels
and turnips the wired plat made ex-
cellent returns except in two out of
the three trials with turnips. The
mangel wurzels showed favorably in
all instances, as did the oats, beans
and buckwheat, which made respec-
tive gains of sixty-nine, forty-one and
81. 13 per cent. The gain in beans
from wiring is the more surprising, as
they possess high nitrogen gather
ing power. Wired potatoes produced
1872 8 bushels of large and 50. II bush
els of small potatoes to the acre,
against 265 bushels of large and 81. A
OF small potatoes from the unwired
plot.
The geomagnetifer is still in the ex-
perimental stage, but if the success
ascribed to the wire is still further
verified new field of agriculture will
be opened up to the farmer, and the
possible crops of those engaged in
gardening, small fruit culture and ex-
tensive farming can hardly be pre-
dicted.

SOWING GLOVER SEED.

Upon farming land that is cultivat-
ed by crop rotation, clover should be
sown if it is practicable to do SO. For
enriching the soil clover is no doubt
one of the best leguminous plants, as
it grows rank and sends its roots down
deep into the soil. However, where a
permanent pasture or meadow is de-
sired, timothy should be sown with
clover at the rate of four quarts of
timothy to five or six quarts of clover.
The first year the clover will be prom
inent, the next year less clover, and
the third year wholly timothy. For
the benefit to the soil the next season
after seeding, wholly with clover, if
of the medium red variety, it should
be cut in June or early in July for
hay, and later for seed. This double
cropping sends the roots deeper in
the soil, which is just what is wanted,
and is found to be more beneficial
than simply close pasturing. Alsike
does we'll, makes good hay, but does
not enrich the soil like red clover.
Alfalfa will be the best for dry eli
mates. American Agriculturist.

PLANTING CORN.

Nine of us out of ten, says j. G. Ben
nett in Rural Life, plant before we are
ready, that is, before the ground is
fined and pulverized as it should be.
The kernel, except the "chit," is food
for the young plant until it can feed,
and the finer the soil the better it can
get food from it. If half the kernel
be eaten away by mice, the corn will
sprout just as we'll, but there is only
half the food supply for the young
plant, and it may suffer before the
roots find nourishment in plenty.
With the best of seed, the best posi-
BILE condition of the ground is still
needed to give the young plant a
proper growth. More work before q
planting means less work after plant
ing and better results. Nothing but
being very late in the season and the
weather unreliable, can justify rush
ing the seed into the ground before it
is in the best kind of condition.

GRUYERE CHEESE.

This variety of Swiss cheese IS

net used is usually made at the FAC
tory. and contains small quantity
of sour milk, so that it is at once
medium of communicating to the
milk the ferments which play SO
important part in the production OF
the cheese.
This condition is practically onein
which the whey is present in given
proportion. The eyes or holes in the
cheese are produced by the formation
of carbonic acid and their number
and size indicate very closely the
quality of the cheese, which is ripen-
ed at temperatures varying from 6Q
to 50 degrees. Sailing lasts consid.
erable time, and is continued until
about q per cent. of salt is absorbed
by rubbing on the crust. The Gruy-
ere industry is one of the most i'm.
portant in France and Switzerland,
and there is no reason why this var
iety of cheese should not be manufac.
turod in this country, fine qualities
being often unobtainable, as much is
produced from skim milk, while the
prices realized are exceptionally good.
The curd is broken at the end OF
about thirty minutes, when it is
allowed to settle in the bottom of the
cheese vat, an elaborate copper ves-
sci which has no counterpart in Eng
lish dairying. Here it remains for
from ten to fifteen minutes, in which
the whole mass is heated to tenn.
perature of from 12O to l3O degrees.
In England this is termed scalding,
in Switzerland it is termed cooking.
If the cheese is scalded at q lower
temperature the cheese is intended
to ripen quickly, but if it is intended
to keep for q long time still higher
temperature is adopted. AS sweet
milk is used, and the process is
rapid, very little acidity is developed
hence the whey is expelled from the
curd chiefly by heat. Nevertheless,
more whey is retained than is usual
in the pressed cheese made in this
country. The curd is stirred during
the heating process until it has
acquired a certain condition which
the cheesemaker recognizes.

WHEAT FOR CHICKENS.

Every farmer has noticed that about

and barnyards, there is q material in

second fact is the natural result of the
first. l have fed corn, oats, barley,
buckwheat, flax and sunfower seeds,
and have found nothing equal to whole
wheat as food for fowls. For young
chicks it seems especially adapted.
After two or three days of feeding on
soft food the young chickens will pick
up the wheat quite greedily, and will
thrive ON it as on nothing else. Grow
lug chickens have large demand for
lime, and especially bone material,
and this is moro nearly supplied i'll

CARING FOR TREES.
Fruit trees require, careful atten-
ton when recently set out. They need
good treatment until they get well es-
tablished and for this reason the first
two or three years are the most i'm
portant ones in the life of the tree.
If good start to grow is secured the
first season it will be much easier to
grow afterward. A considerable
per cent. OF the loss in fruit planting
is due to lack of proper attention
the first season.
The wind often sways the trees back
and forth during the early part of the
season, so that the roots do not make
the growth they would. Then the
loosening keeps them from being in
as close contact with the soil as ls
really necessary to secure the best re-
suits. If the tree is slender or top
heavy it should be well staked. In
addition to this it is a good plan to go
through the newly planted orchard
and press the soil down closely around
the stem of the trees. If the soil has
been properly prepared before plant
ing the trees, there is no possible adj
vantage in cultivating deep. Keep
the surface of the soil i'll good tilth by
frequent stirring or cultivating, es-
pecially during the early part of the
season.
When it can be done, in nearly all
cases one of the best plans of manage
ment with trees is to give thorough
cultivation during the early part of
the season and then mulch we'll dur
ing the latter part. This plan may
be continued for three or four years
with benefit. When a mulch is to be
applied thorough working should be
given just before, then the soil will
remain loose and mellow under the
mulch the rest of the season. The
mulch should always be applied the
latter part of June or very early in
July, before the weather gets too hot
or dry. Old wheat straw is one of the
very best materials that can be used
for mulchins fruit trees. The amount
of the mulch must be largely deter
mined by the size of the tree. AS the
mulch is intended to help retain
moisture in the soil for the use OF the
roots and therefore should extend
nearly or quite as far out as the roots,
spread evenly and not pile up against
the stem or trunk of the tree. Farm,

ANCIENT HISTORY.
Tho Chicago Evening News Tells of the
Rise of st. Louis.

Rise of st. Louis.
St. Louis now claims population
of 600, 900, which, If supported by
figures, makes the Missouri metropl
oils the fifth in size Of the large cit
les of the United States.
St Louis was founded in the yeah
3O0l B. G. by protoplasm who was
off his feed and didn't care what he
did. Having started the place, how'
ever he didn't feel like leaving and
did not leave until he discovered that
it was no place for a live, go-ahead
proto-and he left. AS nothing was
ever heard of him afterward, it is be-
lieved by eminent authorities that he
went UP into the Ozark hills and
kicked himself to death for having
doomed such town.
About the twentieth century, B.
G. the late Mr.. ChedOrlaomer made
an expedition to st. Louis and up
to the day of his death he regretted
it. In his memoirs he says: of all
the dead, past-due burgs that evet
honored with my presence St. Louis
takes the cheese" Mr.. Chedorlaomei
was a close observer and knew what
he was talking about. The next per-
son of note to visit the town was
Shalmaneser in the year 701 b. q.
He mistook it for a national ceme.
terry and did not stop Off, but pro
ceeded on to KeOl1uk, Iowa.
The town wabbed on with indiffer.
ent success until William the Con-
queror's time, when some live bust
ness man built a mOrgue and then
it began to grow. Abe Slupsky's
discovery of the Mississippi in l421,
gave the town boom and the census
of 1925 gives it population of 105.
When it is recalled that only 4,500
years before all that there was of St.
Louis was protoplasm this rapid
growth is fraught with interest. Dur
