EXPERIMENTING WITH SOILS.
Interesting Work ofa Division of Agricul-
turaI Deuartment.

Interesting Work offs Division of Agricui-
tural Department.
The division of soils of the Agricult-
ural Department, al Washington,
which was established a couple of
years ago, is conducting some interest
ing experiments. Professor Milton w.
Whitney, who is in charge of the di-
vision, is engaged at present in the in
vestigation of the climatic conditions
of moisture and temperature in their
relation to the local distribution OF
crops. The work has scope as broad
as the country. 1t will eventually em-
brace all the soils and staple crops and
in it's relations to the future of the
country, when crops must be special
lied under the intensified system of
agriculture, which must come to our
farmers in few years, it promises to
be of the utmost economic and prac-
tical value. 1t as practical utility will be
the determination of the normal water
contents of the different soils in vari-
Gus portions of the country, their ca
pacity for the absorption and retention
of moisture with the amount of
moisture required by different crops,
! together with methods for ascertaining
| the point which lack of moisture would
endanger crops and the most feasible
methods of irrigation. Thus far the
investigation has covered only truck
soils in the east, tobacco soils and an
| investigation of western soils. Some
marvellous results have already been
obtained 1t has been ascertained,
for instance, in the matter of tobacco
| growing that tobacco wrappers, which
are grown on the light soil of Connec-
ticut, require but 7 per cent. of the
moisture, while the filters which are
best grown on the heavy soils of Penn
! sylvania and Ohio require 20 per cent.

tual amount of water required for its
maturity will follow next and subse-

Profit in Sngar Ileets.

Steuben County, IN. " farmers
have been figuring on the profits of su
gar beet raising. The average farm
will produce from ten to sixteen tons
of beets per acre each year. The dost
of seed, care, harvesting and getting
to market is placed at $40 an acre.
This would give the grower profit
ranging from $25 to $4S an acre. The
manufactured product is worth $40 per
ton to the capitalist who puts up the
factory. He insists in every instance
on having the product from not less
than $500 acres. At the lowest fig
ures given this means $4,000 tons. At
16 tons per acre he receives a supply
of $4,000 tons. The gross profits from
this acreage ranges from $4,000 to
$4S,000. From this is to be deducted
the cost of running the plant four
months, night and day for each year.
The balance is the, profit the factory
earns to projectors. These figures arc
based on the production of Steuhen
County land, "a section of the State
where soil does not begin to compare
in fertility with localities further West
1t is no wonder that capital Is easy tC
secure. for these. plants.

TransplantInr a Treo.

If you want to move large tree
from one part of the grounds to an
other or from the woods, dig a circular
trench about three or four feet away
from the hole, any time after the light
freezing has occurred and before very
hard weather sets In. Dig deep
enough to get under the roots, making
the ball smaller at the bottom, then
wait until the ball Of earth is frozen.
Raise with jack screws and load upon
low stone wagon. In the meantime
wide hole six to eight feet in dame
ter and three deep should be made
where the tree is to go, and nearly
filled with good soil. Immediately
over it should be put one or two loads
of manure to prevent the soil from
freezing, so 1t can readily be used in
the replanting. The manure may then
be spread upon the lawn.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-03-04

Most farmers when they wish to
plant trees by the roadside go to their
own woodlots or to those of some neigh
bor to select from the underbrush the
kind of trees desired. But such trees
rarely do well when planted in open
space, because their roots run wide and
it Is impossible to secure the best
feeding roots. Hence such trees need
very heavy pruning in order to make
them live. 1t takes several years for
them to make good head. The trees
grown in the nursery are SO much bet
ter that where they can be had they
should always be used. The nursery
trees have been cultivated and have
numerous fibrous roots near the trunk.
When planted in open ground they
grow very rapidly.

Docking Tails of Pigs.

The tail of the pig appears to be a
wholly useless appendage. 1t is too
short to be of any service in brushing
away flies, and piggie aScoI dingly rolls
himself in the mud to cool his body
and relieve it CT these torments. 1t is
common to dock pigs tails when the
pigs are seven or eight weeks old.
There does not appear to be much pain
from the operation, and that only mo-
mentary. In fact, so little sensation
has the extremity OF the tail that
where rats were numerous they have
been known to gnaw at the tails of fat
tened hogs, which could not be done
were this organ very sensitive. We
knew an old farmer once who said he
always docked his pigs because 1t took
a bushel of corn to make the tail grow
to its full length, and after 1t was fully
grown 1t was still good for nothing.

FARM TOPICS.
oLsANgsr WAY OF MILKING.

The Thumb and Finger Pressure Is Not the
Cleanest Method.
The thumb and finger pressure, on
the cows teat, Is not the cleanest way
by which cow can be milked, al
though it is the quickest and easiest.
Indeed, COW can hardly be milked In
dirtier manner, for all the filth on the
teat must necessarily be scraped from
1t, by the rapid downward pressure.
Neither Is such way OF drawing the
milk nearest that of the calf. When
the thumb and all the fingers are
closed tightly about the teat, the grasp
is nearer that of the calf, than any
other. Now, If the hand ia drawn
slightly downward, the milk Is pressed
from the teat in steady stream.
Such method of milking Is the
cleanest possible one. The least dirt
falls, and the motion and grasp Of the
hand is similar to the action Of the
calf's mouth, while sucking. This
method Of milking is slow and tedious,
If the teat is short, but the cow can be
milked dry, and the milk thus obtained
is clean.

"Dovey, have been reading great

I'll settle the matter forever by stat

"Oh, lovely!" she cooed, kissing him

Electricity on the Farm,

Electricity is being extensively used
upon the large German farms. 1t is
usually furnished by the small brooks
that intersect them. The water
is carried through a narrow canal to
a dam that is erected for the purpose
of obtaining the necessary force and
drives a turbine wheel, which develops
all the electricity needed From the
dynamo the current goes to an ordin-
airy switchboard, from which it is dis
tributed to the various stations, and
wire strung On poles conduct light and
power to the buildings, the garden and
ether parts Of the farm. This power is
used for various purposes. In thrash
irs', for example, an average of sixteen
horse power is required. A sawmill
can lie run with a twelve-horse power
dynamo, and there are other machines
for cutting wood, pumping water, cut
ting straw, ditching and purposes that
would never occur to the American
farmer. In this way there is a large
saving in labor, both of men and hors-
es, and the convenience of having a
farmhouse and barns, stables and other
buildings lighted by electricity can be
fully appreciated.

Protect Your Plants,

Here are some useful hints to flow-
er-growers:
Large pieces of old sod form the very
best winter protective material when
obtainable. These heaped about the
roses will protect the most tender from
severe freezing, and they come out in
the spring in fine order. 1t is just as
good used about any other half hardy
plant.
SCOT from the kitchen chimney, es-
pecially from a wood fire, is invaluable
in the cultivation of flowers. Rich in
ammonia, it stimulates and deepens the
color of flowers. Used as an insecti-
eide, it is equally effective in destroy
ing and removing the pest on account
of the creosote contained in 1t. SCOT
from hard coal exclusively Is Of less
value; still it is worth saving.

bush sort of beans requires less space

The self-propelling steam engines to
