Gold In Pyrites.

Experts in gold mining agree that pretty much the bottom fact now known about such metal is briefly that all orig inal pyrites of small grain texture con- tain gold to greater or less extent, this, of course, not covering such seo- ondary large crystal pyritous deposits derived from veins. It is not yet known, however, whether the gold in these pyrites is in chemical combination with the sulphide of gold, or whether each minute particle of gold is simply cover ed with coating of sulphide of iron, or finally whether such particles are in the metallic state, but alloyed with sil- yer or other metal which combines more rapidly with sulphur than the gold does, and consequently forms a coat of sulphide of silver over the gold. The particles of gold are so minute and the combinations follow so rapidly during the splitting up of these pyrites that the finest instruments and tests known to chemistry have as yet been unable to settle this part of the question to the satisfaction of all concerned. this fact showing how easy 1t is to put iu 6 mill that will not nsys ths yaiasa.

FOOD FOR CATTLE.

1t Is SuccessfuIly ManufacturedFr From
 CornstaIks In Maryland.
 The new corn product, upon which investigations have been conducted at the Maryland agricultural experiment station to determine its value as stock food, says the Baltimore Sun, has been given much consideration by the farm ing community of the state; in fact, many states have taken up the subject and are conducting experiments to as- certain it's relative feeding value. In the process of the extraction of the pith the blades and husk are cut up in small pieces. After the extraction of the pith from the stalk the balance is ground up into meal, which in general appearance resembles coarse bran. This ground material is termed the thew corn product. The new corn product contains 1 pounds per 100 more digesti- ble matter and 3 pounds per 100 more digestible protein than the whole fod der shredded. During the past few years much has been done in the way of testing methods for preparing corn fodder for feeding, with most of the re- suits in favor of some metod of shred ding the stalk. Shedding possesses many points which make 1t superior to the ordinary or old way of cutting fodder, the principal one of which is that the shredded fodder is almost wholly eaten by animals.
 It is found that the new corn product contains within one pound as much total digestible matter as wheat bran, but less than one-third as much digesti- ble protein, consequently the nutritive ratio is wider. It was further observed that animals fed with fattening ration with the new corn product base made more gain in live weight and upon less feed than with a fattening ration of the same grain and corn blades. The keeping qualities of the new corn prod uct are as good as linseed meal, cotton seed meal or wheat bran, and rations made up with this material can be fed with less labor and less waste of feed than when hay and fodder are fed sep arately, as ordinarily practiced

Best Time to Seed Redtop.

Redtop can be proftably seeded in spring, more so than at any other time. according to Orange Judd Farmer. 1t can be sown on fall wheat and slightly narrowed in with slant tooth harrow the same as timothy or clover, or the seed bed can be prepared especially for this crop. In the event of dry season the latter method would probably give the best results If sown alone, apply about 90 to 24 pounds of seed per acre. This grass may be sown with timothy, in which case 12 pounds per acre is sufficient

POTATO GROWING.
Best Methods Up 10 Date-what Tests
 of Four Years Teach.

Best Methods Up fo Date-What Tests
 of Four Years Teach.
 Conclusions reached by the Cornell authorities, Professors Roberts and Clinton, after experiments in potato culture continued through four years, are:
 The average yield of potatoes through out the state is not more than one-hah what it should be and what it would be were better methods practiced
 All soils of ordinary fertility contain sufficient potential plant food to pro duce abundant crops By tillage and drainage if necessary part of this po- tential plant food can be made avail able for the use of plants
 Early planting of potatoes and ire quent tillage to conserve moisture will ordinarily give best results
 Early planting necessitates vigorous spraying with bordeaux mixture and paris green to protect the foliage from blight and beetles
 Success with potatoes depends largely upon the preparation given the soil be- fore the potatoes are planted. Flowing should be deep, and at the time of plant ing soil should be mellow and loose
 On soils which are likely to be affect ed seriously by droughts it is especially important that the potatoes be planted early and deep and the tillage should be frequent and level
 On soils which are not well drained, either naturally or artifcially, and on clay or clay loam soils, potatoes may be planted somewhat shallow, and slight milling may be practiced with benefit
 Narrowing the land after the potatoes were planted and before the plants ap, peared produced marked beneficial re. suits
 From six to seven cultivations have given best yields
