In all other states showing change,
the output increased except from one
furnace in Virginia. The demand for
finished products expands remarkably,
considering the enormous orders prior
to July, which crowd some Of the big

orders include many bridges and the
drainage canal contract Of 1000 tons at
Chicago; plates and bars are In stron-

NEW YORK. August 1s.-R. G. Dun

trade Tomorrow will say: A war which
brought no shrlnkage of business while
It lasted, has brought with It's ending a
quite remarkable expansion. Orders
and purchases have increased in nearly

nature that they can be attributed 20
the material enlargement of trade with
the lately Spanish Islands, which must
come a little later.
The iron and steel Industries, while
reporting declines in products, show
more surprising gains in business than
any other. Both returns OF output Aug
ust show considerable decrease from

crease Is caused by the stoppage OF two

Airing the Soil.

Every we'll titled field, or, better yet,
every well titled field provided with
tile drains, is in somo sort saltpeter
yard. In such field much Of the ma
nure and of the remains of plants and
Of the humus in the soil will readily be
converted into saltpeter, and all expert
ence teaches the great value of this sub
stance considered as manure. Indeed
when the soil is merely stirred as with
a hoe or harrow or cultivator it must
often happen that the formation of nj
trates is promoted, and some part OF
the significance Of the summer tillage
of crops may be fairly attributed to an
actual increase of fertility through
changes brought about by the action of
oxygen on organic matters in the soil.
But even if saltpeter be left out Of con-
sideration it will still be true that the
good effects produced by frequent plow-
ing, narrowing and hoeing, and by
draining also, result not merely from
an alteration in the mechanical condi-
tion of the soil, but largely from the
admission of air and moisture, which
not only go to feed the plants directly,
but SO act upon various substances, in
the soil as to fit them to be taken up by
plants. - Professor Storer's "Agricul-
ture."

DRIVING Wheat For FAN Seeding.

After every damp harvest, as the
present has been in most localities, the
grain goes into the barn with its straw
not so thoroughly dried out as it should
be. There is also considerable dampness
in the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain in the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much, for the grain will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes. But whenever
winter grain is grown, the seed for next
harvest has to be selected from the pres
ent years crop, and this often means
the premature thrashing Of the winter
grain and using it while still damp as
seed. To this fact is probably to be at
tributed the common belief among farm
ers that old wheat and rye are better
for seed than new. In the old grain the
freezing of winter and the subsequent
thawing has made the seed nearly
wholly free of moisture.
Entertaining this view of the matter,
The American Cultivator expresses the
belief that it is far better to thoroughly
dry the seed even by artificial means.
"We have over and over again dried
seed grain in fruit evaporators such as
are used for drying apples, and always
with the best results in a large proper
tion grown of the seed that was sown.
We believe that it is best to dry all
grain used as seed by the heat of fire. !"

nenth For Seeding Grass.

If all the seed usually sown were to
germinate, there would be about 2.000
plants to the square foot. It takes
about $4,000 timothy seeds to weigh
an ounce, and A pounds make bushel.
Forty thousand orchard grass seeds
weigh an ounce, and IL pounds make
bushel. There are 10000 red clover
seed in an ounce, $4,000 white clover
seed, $4,000 Alsike seed and $4,000
italian rye grass seed. Much of the
failure of seeding is due to either poor
seed or too deep covering. Careful ex-
periments have shown that timothy
seed covered by two inches of dirt can
not shoot into growth. Covered from
three quarters to one inch, only about
one-half the good seeds will come forth.
Red clover seed cannot get through two
inches of dirt. White clover seed COW
cred 1 u inches will not come through,
and only about half will grow when
covered from one-half to three-quarters
of an inch deep. Alsike clover seed will
not push through n inches of cover
ing. The above results were obtained
by sowing the seed in finely sifted,
dark loan which was kept moist during
the process of termination. From one
quarter to one-half an inch is the right
depth to cover grass seed.-Prairie

weeks Of the test.
During this time the pigs made a
gain Of 22.8 pounds per head, or 17.6
pounds, deducting the amount which it
was calculated they gained from the
grain fed during stormy weather. On
the supposi ton that 4. pounds Of grain
are required to produce pound of pork
the Al pigs gathered S,228.75 pounds Of
grain, which otherwise would have been
lost. The harvesting had been done in
the usual manner, and in the investi-
gators opinion the amount Of peas and
grain remaining in the field did not ex-
ceed that left in the stubble fields on
the average farm. The scattered grain
could not have been saved in any other
way and represents clear profit.
The grain saved from the stubble
fields by these pigs was not all that
could have been gathered If they had
remained in the fields longer time.
Seven brood sows were afterward pas
tured during the winter on the station
stubble fields, which included "a acre
oatfield in addition to those mentioned
above. They were given no food in ad
dition to what they could gather except
kitchen slops and a small grain ration
on stormy days. The sows frequently
rooted down through six inches of snow
and found sufficient grain to keep them
in good condition throughout the entire
winter.

DriIIed end Cultivated Turnips.

So many farmers broadcast turnip
seed on their hoed crops late in the sea-
son that they forget that, cheap though
this seems, there is a still better way,
says American Cultivator. That is to
sow the turnip seed in drills wide
enough apart for hoe to run between.
Enormous crops have been grown this
way, and the labor in hoeing was more
than repaid by keeping the turnips
steadily growing, SO that at the time for
harvest none were gnarled or pithy.
Even before the main crop is fully
grown there can be sold a good many
small turnips thinned out where the
plants were too thick in the row. These
small turnips, if not stunted, are more
tender and sweet than those that have
grown to larger size.

Dlanchipg Celery.

It is not for the mere sake of blanch-
ing that celery is SO treated, for ifsthis
were the case only self blanching va
rieties would be used, but 1t is to'im-
prove the flavor and to make the stalks
tender, says Meehan's Monthly. Care
must be taken to avoid heaping the
earth so that it gets in among the
branches. Hold the stems together with
one hand, while with the other the
earth is pressed against the plant, leay-
ing out merely few leaves at the ends.
As the tops grow the earthing up must
of course be repeated. Celery is subject
to blight which attacks the center Of
the plant. This may be encouraged by
soil getting between the stalks, as it
has been found that where the plants
are boaxded up instead of earthed they
are less attacked.

How to Make Good Bacon.

The secret of producing choice bacon
lies in the feed trough. If any one
doubts this, let him put two Poland
China, Berkshire, Chester White, Duroc
Jersey or any of our recognized breeds
of hogs in two different pens, feed one
all the corn he can eat until fat, and
the other boiled potatoes, milk, barley
or wheat ground fine and some peameal
until fat (the old country way). Kill
both, put in dry salt for six or seven
weeks, then take out and wash and
hang it up in the kitchen or drying
house until thoroughly dried, then cut
off good big chunk and boil it, let it
stand till cold, then cut off few slices
and you will see the corn fed meat is
not so firm, is more oily and not SO
many streaks of lean as meat fed on
barley, potatoes, milk, etc., and thisis
all the difference you or any one else
can detect. American Swineherd.

Ensiling Potatoes,

A number of French agriculturists
have recently studied the desirability
of ensiling potatoes. A considerable
amount Of heat is generated by the fer
mentation of the green material in silos,
and. it was thought this could be util-
lied and the potatoes could be cooked
as well as preserved. In one test the
potatoes were buried in a silo filed with
crimson clover. They acquired the
characteristic color of the plant and the
odor developed in fermentation. The
tubers were aattened by the heavy
pressure to which they had been sub
jected. When removed from the silo,
they were comparatively soft. They
were examined mioroscopically and
chemically, and it was found that they
had been cooked by the heat Of fermen-
tation and that they were rendered
more digestible by the process-that is,
the percentage of soluble matter was
increased.
Experiments at the Minnesota station
have shown that while the digestibility
Of cooked and raw potatoes by pigs was
about the SAME, the animals could be
induced to eat larger quantities Of cook
ed potatoes.

q Clear Profit From Saving Scattered

a Clear Profit From Saving Scattered
Grain by Pasturing In This Way.
When grain is harvested, some neces-
sarily escapes the reaper and is usually
lost. While the amount may hardly be
sufficient to make it profitable to follow
the reaper with a rake the scattered
grain may be proftably utilized by
turning pigs or other stock into the
stubble fields, and as matter Of fact
the custom of pasturing stock on such
fields Is quite common in many regions.
Some interesting experiments have been
made at the Montana station to learn
the value Of this as compared with
other methods of feeding.
Forty-one pigs from 8 to 9 months
old were allowed the run Of barley,
wheat and pea stubble fields of 1S, 10.44
and 1913 acres respectively. For some
time before the test they had been pas
tured on alfalfa and fed a pound Of
cracked barley per head daily. For. ten
weeks Immediately preceding the test
they made daily average gain Of ..42
pound Per head. While pastured on the
stubble fields they were given no grain
in addition TO what they could find ex-
cept on stormy days. The grain thus fed
amounted to s41 rounds In the five

Why Orchards Fail.

"The fact that an old orchard does
not bear as well as young one is gen
orally thought to be the fault or weak
ness of the trees" remarks Edwin O.
PoHell in The National Stockman. "It
is in measure, but the primary cause
is the lack of available plant food in
the soil. Many orchards are cropped an
nually, and hay, wheat, corn or other
crops removed These may be we'll ma
nured, but yet the trees do not thrive.
Enough fertility is added for the grow
ing crop, but not enough for the trees

Varieties of Wheat Exempt From scab.

The fungous disease popularity known
as "wheat scab" was very prevalent at
the Indiana station this season. This
disease attacks the wheat heads. As
result the head or some part of it turns
lighter in color, and the grains are
light, chaffy and worthless. Among 1S
varieties of wheat growing at the sta
tion, Velvet Chaff, Early Ripe, Hybrid
Prolific, Harvest King, Improved Fultz
and Michigan Amber were practically
free from scab.
