Indiana Experiment Station: The
direct loss from injury due to frost is
of considerable Importance. We hear
most frequently Of damage to fruit
I buds In the spring, and the damage to
the peach crop has become standard
joke for the funny man. The loss Of
early garden crops receives less at
tention, but IL the total were known, 1t
would reach quite a respectable figure.
Both spring and fall frosts often in
jare the corn corp to the extent OF
many thousand bushels. Water Is the
best protection from frost. The air
always contains some water vapor, and
the warmer the air is the more water
vapor it can contain. At so degrees
cubic foot of air might contain four
grains of water vapor, and usually con-
tains about three grains. When the
air cools, a point may be reached at
which it cannot hold up all the water
which it contains. If this Is above the
freezing point, some of the water
vapor is deposited in the form Of dew.
But when the water changes from
water vapor to liquid dew, large
amount of heat is given off and this
prevents a further fall Of temperature.
But If the air contains so little water
vapor that it can cool below the freez-
ing point before the water begins to
deposit, the water is deposited in the
form of icy crystals and we have
frost A moist air then is protec-
tion from frost The frequent shallow
cultivation that saves soil moisture,
will at the same time keep the air
above the soil more moist, and will
to some extent serve as a protection
from frost. DR.. Kedzie quotes a cir
cumstance where a recently cultivated
corn field was not injured by a frost
that cut down the corn on surround
ing fields. A more direct and effective
way of protecting plants from frost is
to irrigate the land or to sprinkle the
plants with water at the time the frost
is expected. In this state few farms
have means of irrigating in the usual
way. But there are many farms on
which fruits are sprayed, and the
machinery may easily be
lsed to sprinkle plants with water to
protect them from frost This method
las proved practical and profitable on
variety of early spring crops. An
'ther method is to form a cloud over
he field which will protect it. This
S usually accomplished by burning
Material at such points that the wind
will blow the smoke across the field.
he purpose is not to warm the air but
o interpose a layer of smoke be-
ween the plants and the sky, and so
revent the loss of heat. For this pur-
ose, smudge fires giving much smoke
re best. Special torches made Of
muck and clay have been patented for
his purpose Those who have ex-
erimented in frost protection, seem
} think that the sprinkling method

carefully aerated and the result is a
thoroughly palatable water devoid of
that fairness generally characteristic Of
condensed sea water.
A sediment of salt-the residue Of the
ocean brine-gradually forms upon the
coils Of the distillers, and these evap-
orators are so arranged that this scale
can be readily removed. On the other
ships their distillers will be worked as
far as possible only to the extent OF
making good the loss Of fresh water
consumed by the boilers, that the use of
salt water must be obyiated and the
formation OF a troublesome scale Of

circumstances; they can be avoided.
The Refrigerator Ship.
The refrigerator ship Supply, for

ships will be eased to just that exent
The Illinois was originally built for
passenger ship, but was later RELOCATED
to the transportation of cattle and beef
to England, still as an adjunct to the
American line. In that capacity she
had an extensive system of
cold storage and this has readily adapt
ed the vessel to our present needs. She
will carry tons Of ice and fresh proven
der of all kinds-but especially of a
vegetable nature-the surest safeguard |
against disease in the tropics, and with |
her extensive coal capacity, her own
listilling plant, and her ample burden, |
she will prove an exceedingly efficient |

making provisions for one or two more

Forage Plants.

The Nebraska Experiment Station,
summarizing some experiments, says:
Permanent grass pastures may be
successfully substituted by certain an
nual forage plants.
A quick-growing variety of sorghum
affords pasture fully equal to native or
/ cultivated grasses.
! Sorghum has the advantage of afford
ing more forage per acre, and in being
green and succulent throughout the en-
tire summer. Its disadvantage consists
in the necessity Of blowing the land for
each crop.
One acre Of sorghum will furnish pas
ture for ten cows twelve days.
The most profitable time to pasture
sorghum is after it has attained its
height, and before heading.
Wood Ashes for Fertilizer-An
farmers know that wood ashes are val
liable for fertilizer. But this value. as
many know, is due very much to the
material from which the ashes come.
Thus ashes made from hard wood are
more valuable than ashes made from
soft wood. In fact, some ashes from
soft wood have not enough virtue to
make it worth while to bother with
them. 1t has also been found that the
value is largely governed by the part
of the tree from which the ashes is
made. 1t is declared by chemists that
the ash of the young twigs is of more
Uqlna than och Df
the tree. and the ash of leaves still
more valuable.

Great Bend Tp. Ticket.

Saturday the democrats and popu-
lists Of Great Bend township met and
nominated the following excellent
ticket:
For Trustee, Chris. Koopman;
For Treasurer, T. Q. Cole;
For Clerk, Fred Witte, jr
The vote in this township has been
very near tie for the last few years,
between the republicans and the oppo-
sition; but the boys think that this
year with the above excellent ticket,
they will win hands down and not call
upon the commissioners to decide any
more ties.
