ments station at Bozenan, who gave a
very interesting talk Oh diversified
farming, rotation Of crops. etc. Com
pairing the system Of farming carried
out by the experiment station with that
done by some Of the farmers in the
Gallatin valley, he stated that, while
the experiment. station farm was hardly
up to the average Of the Gallatin land,
yet it produced crops that compelled the
respect and admiration Of the farmers
III that vicinity. This was accounted
for, he said, by the rotation OF crops
practioed at the experiment station.
Professor Emery also strongly urged
upon the farmers a more extensive
seeding Of land to clover. as a better
forage plant than alfalfa. One strong
point be made was the necessity for
farmers arranging to farm twelve
months in the year, instead Of six. In
reply to question at to what the farm
ers should do, he suggested the feeding
Of the grain raised on the farm to stock

ing them alfalfa for few weeks, and
then allowing them to be shipped ont
Of the country to have the finishing
touches put on. He also advocated a
more general interest in hay raising as
source Of profit to the farmers, aud
gave them much other good and prac-
tioable advice, but cur space will not
admit Of further going into the details
Of Professor Bmery's interesting talk.
Three gallons Of cream having been
furnished by farmer, Professor Shaw
then gave practical illustration of the
granular process of making butter.
The butter, when taken out Of the
ohurn, was Of a kind to excite the envy
of those who pride themselves Oh their
ability to make the gilt.edge product.
This ended the afternoon session, which
was both interesting and instructive.
The evening session was called to or

fessor Shaw was then introduced and
gave much valuable information re-
garding the treatment Of grain for smut
and also the relative value of different

Cooley. stating that ordinarily one ap-
plication was enough for the season,
replied to an inquiry that, If the vines
were treated when third grown and
the beetles came back when vines were
fully grown. another application would
be necessary.
Professor Fortier. the expert on
water measurements was next introduce

information Oh the methods Of measur-

also in the different irrigation states
He also advocated that a single stand.

The last speaker of the evening was
DR.. Traphagen, the eminent authority
on the different alkalis Of the soil and
the means to be used to prevent their
rising to the surface Of the soil, at
which point they become more or less
destructive to plant life. In his opin-
ion, conservative aud intelligent US.
Of water was the surest preventative,
not allowing water to remain on the
land long enough to permeat down to
where the bulk of the alkali lay, thus
allowing 1t to gradually rise to the sur
face. there to be deposited in the salt
form. In answer to question. he
thought the underground flow Of water
through the soil was doing much to
carry of the alkali. and spoke Of the
vast amount Of alkali the drainage
ditch at Billings alone was relieving
the soil Of. in q rainy season carrying
off as much as 400 tons day. II was
the opinion Of the farmers that water
begged land, and land temporarily in
jured by the excess Of the alkali de-
posit. was becoming less every year,
many farmers now raising good grass
crops on land that u few years ago was
considered practically useless. This ia
q condition quite encouraging when
considered with the knock k-out blow de.
