SENATOR HARRIS, of this senator
ial district, has not particularly
distinguished himself in the esti-
nation Of large number of his
constituents by his opposition to the
sugar bounty bill. He is Republi-
can, and conseG uently must be a
protectionist. The sugar bounty bill
is on these very lines. Protection
encourages home industry and there
by keeps the money at home hat
otherwise would go into the pockets
of foreign manufacturers. The en-
couragemenG Of the beet sugar indus
try is in keeping with sound Repub-
ican principles. We import most of
our sugar, and are trying to estab-
lish that industry at our own doors,
and thereby open up a new avenue
Of employment for our people. 1t
may have been all right for Senator
Jacobs to oppose the bill, but it was
not strictly in keeping with Repub
lican policy for Senator Harris tc
have done SO. But then, the senator
may have looked at it from a pure
ly economical standpoint, although
the honorable gentleman's vote or
some of the extravagant appropria
ton bills may not bear out this as
sumption. The senator may reafz
sooner or later that he has commit
ted most egregious blunder.

Taking Kansas soil as an example
the writer goes on 10 show that II con-
tains 6,GOO pounds OF nitrogen 10 the
acre to the depth OF one foot. For an
Ideal crop OF wheat b0i6 pounds OF
nitrogen per acre II required for both
grain and straw. According TO this
an ideal crop Of wheat could be grown
yearly for 20 years before the supply
OF nitrogen would be exhausted. by
the same cropping the phosphoric acid
would last ii5 years and the potash 200
years. but these represent the fertil-
ity In only the FIRST foot OF soil. Many
OF the roots penetrate below this
depth, and, as the rain annually bringu
down TO the coil from six to ten pounds
per acre OF nitrogen. Il would seem
that the fertility Of the soil IL prac-
tlcally lnexhaustiblo. but the writer
recognizes the fact that soils do wear
out, and explains Il as follows.
In the first place only n small por-
tion Of this plant food Ia ever available
TO the plant at any one time. Nearly
all the nitrogen. for example. exists
In the form OF organic matter. which
cannot be used until II undorgoes the
process OF nitrincatlon, the process oy
which the nitrogen OF organic matto-
is converted into nitric acid and nj
tratea Nitrihcation takes places by
means OF bacteria, which live IN the
soil. In order that these bacteria may
thrive and perform their work well,
they must have conditions Of warmth
and moisture, must be supplied with
oxygen, and the acid formed must be
removed or combinei with some base.
Quite often n base easily acted upon
Is not present and too much free acid
accumulates. Then. too IN water
logged soils the temperature remains
too low and the air Is excluded by

A report sent out by the Cornell Ex-
pertinent Station says: Such remark
able results In potato growing have
been secured during tho past three or

also, by having the tests made by the
farmers themselves on their own
farms, 10 attract the attention OF po-
tnto growers throughout the state,
more emphatlcally than II has been
possible to do By the work done 81 the
station.
The land used for these experiments
at the station Is grayelly soil which
analysis has shown Is carrying little
more than half sho potential plant
food found In average soils. It has
not boeg manured or fortilized since
the autumn OF 1898, and has produced
heavy crops Of grain or forage each
season till planted 10 potatoes.
In 1895. eight plants averaged at the
rate OF 352.G bushels, ranging from
3O9 to 4i5 bushels, according TO treat
ment. That year was especially fav-
orable for potatoes and the average for
the state was extra high, being 1872
bushels per acre.
In 1896. nine plats averaged al tho
rate OF 3i9.4 bushels. ranging from
PASS 10 1903 bushels. The average
yield OF ISatoea in New York for that
year was 80 bushels per acre.
In 1897, ten plats averaged at the
rate OF 322 bushels per acre, ranging
from 23i TO Ssi according 10 treat
ment. The average IN the state for
this year was 62 bushels per acre.
Tho experiments OF 1898 were STINT

Ensiiage and city MIX supply.

A correspondent writes 10 Hoard's
Dalryman as follows: Our local paper
has copied the following item. which
has created some inquiry aud a little
disturbance In our milk trade. as II
has In other localities;
Licenses 20 sell milk in the city
have been withheld from several milk
men because OF improper feeding,
principally OF ensllage. According TO
Investigations by the board OF health,
tho milk produced by ensilage feeding
Is not good. Butter makers will not
buy II. II Is refused at the condensed
milk factories and at some cheese fac
toriee. IL sale has been forbidden In
the city. The health board believes
that the quality OF the milk used has
much to do with the health OF COM
munity; and the stringent rules en-
forced here IN regard TO the sale Of
milk backed by the notably good
health OF the city gives the claim
strong ground.-Meadyille (Pa) Trl-
bune."
Can you point me TO the latest facts

the use OF ensllage.
Albion. Pa. T.. +. ID.
Hoard's Dairyman replies. Il would
be interesting TO know where tho board
Of health obtained the information on
which Il founded its adverse decision
regarding the use OF onsllage II ~
probably a case OF misguided onthusl-
asm, rather than a decision from ac-
tual facts. City boards OF health have
often very peculiar methods. and In
their endeayors 20 mako record" for

and make equally fool rules and regu-
lations. Ensllage has passed the stage
where It's healthfulness as a milk pro-
ducing feed can be questioned by prac-
Teal dairymen or by any one who has
practical knowledge on the subject

merous other cases, but Il Is hardly
worth while, as ensilage Is perfect

ton. The board OF health Is right
when Il claims that tho quality OF the
milk has much 20 do with the health
OF community but ith quality Is more
factor OF age and cleanliness than
any other condition.
For some time manufacturers OF
condensed milk have refused 20 allow
the use OF ensllage because they were
afraid Of its possible effect on the milk
that was sent TO foreign countries.
This objection Is giving Way and In

tories are beginning 10 advocate the

From Farmers Review: Any ex-
element or disturbance Of the animal
system always Affects the mllch cows.
In April, 1898. the Kansas Agrlcultur-
al College purchased ~ head OF COWS
from Lincoln county, which had 20
be forwarded by rail for over 100
miles. Records were kept from each
individual milking, and Il was found
that with the ride, homeslckneaB and
change OF feed II took nearly two
weeks for these cows TO return TO
their normal quantity and quality OF
milk. Observations since then have
demonstrated that any unusual excite
ment or disturbance always influences
tho milk now. A little knowledge OF
the structure OF the udder will show
why.
The udder Is composed OF cavities,
or milk clsterns, and milk duets, sur
rounded by muscular connective and
fatty tissues. AT the end OF these
milk ducts We find small cells which
have the property OF secretlng and
transforming nutrients from the blood
into milk. These cells are most active
at the time OF milking. and In fact a
large part Of the milk IL elaborated at
this time. This necessltates good
supply OF blood 20 the udder during
the process OF milking, for Il is inn
possible for these cells to manufae-
turo milk without fresh supplies OF
nutrients from the blood. Any ex-
cltement that tends 10 contract the
muscles OF the udder or turn the
blood 20 other portions OF the body
will cause a decrease In the now OF
milk. Beating the COW with a milk
stool or speaking 10 her In harsh Ian
guage may cause tho blood TO flow.
but not TO the udder. Even feeding
the COW while milking her Is a bad
practice, as Il tends 10 divert the
blood from the udder 10 the digestive
tract. Every act OF the mllker and
every surrounding OF the COW shovdd
be such that the latter will give her
whole attention 10 the secretion OF
milk Al milking time, In other words,
allow the hlood to now 10 the udder.
