EXHAUSTED FERTILITY.
A Good System of Rotation 10 tho Best
RestOreP OF Worn-Out Soil.

A Good System of Rotation 10 tho Best
RestOrer of WOrn-Out Soil.
The following conclusions by one of
our experiment stations apply every
where: The continued cropping of
soils to grain crops only without any
system of rotation, or other treatment,
Is telling severely upon the original
stock of half decomposed animal and
vegetable matters, and nitrogen. Soils
which have produced grain crops, ex
clusively, for ten or fifteen years, con-
tain from a third to half less humus
and nitrogen than adjoining soils that
have never been plowed. Soils which
have been cropped until the organic
matters and humus have been mate
rally decreased, retain less water and
dry out more easily than when there
Is a larger Dmount Of organic matter
present in the soil Soils which are rich
In humus contain larger amount of
phosphates associated with them In
available forms than the soils that are
poor in humus. Soils which are rich
In humus and organic matters produce
a larger amount of carbon dioxide that
acts as solvent upon the soil particles
and aids the roots in producing food.
0ne-half Of sandy knoll, heavily ma
nured with we'll rotted manure, con-
tained nearly a quarter more water
during a six weeks drought than the
other half that received no manure.
The supply of organic matter in the
soil must be kept up because it takes
such an important part, indirectly, in
keeping up the fertility of soil. A
good system of rotation, including sod
crops, and well prepared farm ma
nures will do this, and will avoid the
introduction and use of commercial
fertilizers which are now costing the
farmers of the United States over
es5,0OO,OO annually.

IMPROVING GRASSES.
why Our Farmers should Bring Native
Species Into Cultivation.

Species Into Cultivation.
One of the best lines of work in con
nection with the development of inn
proved forage conditions is that of
bringing our native forms into culti-
vation. More than 20 per cent. of all
the grass species of the world are M
tives of the United States, the number
ranging upward of 700, and think 1
am not wrong in saying that there
is no other continent on which there Is
a greater number of native forage
plants other than the grasses. Nearly
all of our cultivated forage plants are
of foreign origin, and if it were not
simply matter Of public interest, 1t
ought to be one of public sentiment,
to preserve the coming generations OF
American farmers those native species
which have added so much to the
wealth of the land in the past. The
species of the grazing regions in the
west and southwest, and, for that mat
ter, in every part Of this country where
sheep or cattle are raised, are best
adapted for the conditions under which
each grows, and it is folly to think that
better forms may be introduced from
Europe or Asia or Australia, where
climate and soil and abundance of rain
fall are different. The meadow grass
of the parks, woodlands and mountain
slopes, the grama and buffalo grasses
of the southwest, and the blue stems
Of the eastern prairie belt, cannot be
improved upon.
We must go out into the fields and
meadows and select, care for and prop
agate the thrifty grasses and native
cloveTs, just as the horticulturist se-
lects and propagates his finest varie-
ties OF fruits, or the florist his most
perfect and most highly developed
flowers. Every cultivated grass, every
cereal, every fruit or flower, has been
developed up from just such small be-
ginnings, and when we take into con-
sideration the Importance of the graz
ing Industries, the great amount Of
money invested in them, and the vast
yearly income from these sources, we
must adopt the conclusion that such u
line of work Is an exceedingly impor-
tant one.--United States Department

THE CHANGES IN MILK.
Contamination, In Nine Cases Out Of Ten,
Comes from without.

WOAG3U4AN&DADus An MILO N2DbB OuG OI R6Ilp
Comes from without.
Ordinary milk alters in character
after being kept for some time, says
American Dairyman. 1t usually loses
its sweetness and perfect fluidity. and
becomes soured and curdled. The ra-
pidity of these changes depends upon
certain circumstances, the chief of
which, however, appears to be temper
ature. Milk kept at or little below
blood heat seems to change very quick
ly. That q favorable temperature
alone cannot produce the changes re-
ferred to may be proved by the follow
ing experiment, says Biologist Hous-
ton, Of England: IF milk be drawn di-
rect from the udder into the sterilized
vessel, extreme care being taken to
prevent even the slightest contamina-
ton, and the mouth Of the vessel
plugged with clean cotton wool, the milk
may be kept for days, yea, weeks
without in the least turning sour, even
during the warmest summer weather.
If the plug be removed for minute or
30, and then replaced, the milk will
gradually lose it's sweetness, thus
clearly showing that unfiltered air con-
tains something that, if permitted to
reach the milk, has the remarkable
power of causing souring, and per-
haps other changes, to take place in it.
Now, what is in the air that possesses
such potent influences upon the keep
ing properties of milk? Again an ex-
pertinent will best answer this ques-
tion. If @ covered and sterilized dish
containing layer Of nutritive gela-
tine be exposed to the air, either in
doors or in the open, for, say a minute,
there will fall upon the surface of the
jelly minute particles of dust, together
with extremely minute spores of molds,
and still more minute living particles
Of different kinds, collectively known
as bacteria. BY covering the dish and
keeping 1t at suitable temperature,
there will appear-within 49 hours or
less-upon the clear surface of the jelly
q number of specks, each of which rep
resents a colony of bacteria that has
risen by rapid multiplication from a
single germ that originally settled on
the jelly when the dish was exposed to
the air. Immediately milk Is drawn
from the COW 1t is subject to this kind
Of contamination. Bacteria of differ.
ent kinds and the spores of molds are
constantly falling upon it, and the
freshly drawn milk provides an ex-
ceptionally favorable medium for the
growth and development of these fun
gal organisms. Milk is unfortunate
ly, a ready vehicle for the transmission
Of germs that give rise to more or less
serious ailments In consumers of milk.
Typhoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria and
scarlet fever may be mentioned as dan
garous diseases that are too frequently
disseminated by milk. In most cases
the contamination comes from with
out, but there are cases where the milk
is germ-laden before it leaves the milk
gland of the animal. 1t Is stated on
high authority that large number Of
milch cows suffer from tuberculosis
udder, and it is needless to say that
such state of affairs is continuous
source I danger to the public health"
