ufacturers use in the making up of com
mercial grades. This is said to be espe-
cially true Of the materials that contain
nitrogen. II therefore behooves the farm
~er TO look after the fertilizers he has on
the farm. BY the ordinary manner OF
handling manure at least half of the nj
trogen is lost. One-haf of the value OF
the excrement from our cattle and other
stock is in the liquids, which on many
farms are not saved at ALL Nitrogen es-
pecially abounds in the liquids, as is.evi-
denced by the ammonia they throw Off.
We want again to urge that every farmer
take measures TO save these valuable
products. The farmers that have manure
piles that are exposed TO all weathers
and that have no arrangement to save
the liquids should at once stop the waist.
1t means hundreds OF dollars 70 the pocket
of every farmer. Remember that the man
uIe pile is not only assailed by the rain,
but by, the air and the latter helps to de-
prive it of Its ammonia form OF nitro
gen. 1t is not enough TO prevent manure
from teaching and washing, 1t must be
kept from drying out and thus losing its
ammonia, or a large part of it.

The sowing Of oats without first treating
the seed for smut is a cause of great loss
10 farmers This loss is far greater than
one would suppose without investigation.
Investigations in Illinois show that the
annual loss to the oat crop in that state is
from to a. per cent, with an average of
about 10 per cent This means about 1,5OO,-
coo bushels per year. One reason why the
loss to the oat crop from smut is underes-
timated is that many of the smut heads
are whipped off by the wind and 50 are
unnoticed but at harvest time the stalk
that is cut is hare. Then again the stalks
affected by smut are frequently dwarfed
and dc not show among the ether heads,
even in the sheaf Then, too, smut some
times exists without being recognized, ID
being set down as blight. This loss cen
be entirely prevented by treating the oats
with hot water, dipping the seed oats in
water for FIVE minutes at a temperature
Of 1870 to 1877 degrees. For this work ket-
tie Is needed as well as two barrels and a
thermometer. One barrel should contain
warm water and another cold water. The
oats should be sacked in quantities OF one
to one and a half bushels The kettle
should be large enough to hold che bag at
a time. After the bag of oats has re-
manned for the specific time i'm the kettle
of hot water 1t should be, lifted out and
dipped at once into the barrel of cold wa
ter. The barrel of warm water Is used
to take off the chill from the oats before
dipping in the water at 1872 degrees. If the
day be warm this precaution will not be
necessary. The oats can be sown at once
by hand without drying.

The Use of LING.

Though not, strictly speaking, a manure,
lime is unquestionably valuable agent
in agriculture. 1t fulfills an important
function in the soil. In truth, it is indis-
pensabie to the successful utilization of
land. Some classes of soil may be natur-
ally so rich in lime as to render artificial
application unnecessary or even highly
undesirable but assuredly if the soil does
net INCLUDE lime in its chemical contents
then 1t becomes a duty to supply it in the
form Of a top dressing. The precise and
full actions of lime chiefly concern the
chemist, whose place 1t is to study and
elucidate the chemical changes that the
various artificial dressings produce The
farmer will seek 10 peer no deeper into
the mysteries of the soil than he will have
practical results to guide him. In regard
to lime especially, no scientific knowledge
is necessary in order to learn of and to
appreciate its economic merits.
Practical demonstrations of its high ag-
ricultural value are plentiful and pro-
nounced. The action of lime is beneficial
setting free and rendering available for
the plants certain other constituents in
the soil, and thus; If it possesses little or
no manurial value itself, it has the power
to qualify other soil ingredients for abb
sorption by the roots of crops. Lime is
also very eIIectual purifying ana sweet
ening agent On deep soils, rich in the
cherished humus or decaying vegetable
matter, its health giving and indirect fer
tilizing influences are particularly notice
able, whether the land is still under the
plough or laid down to permanent grass.
AS we have seen from any recent expert
molnts, too, lime is the only substance
which has been in the least degree effect
ual in checking the ravases of finger and
toe in turnips. Having regard 70 the bene-
fetal functions Of lime, it is quite proba-
be as a recent writer points out, that
it is not 50 systematically employed in
this country as it ought TO be. To procure
the best results and at The same time to
obviate risk of injury from an excess of
time, il is we'll TO observe that it's fire.
quent application in small quantities rath-
er than large dressings at long intervals

The good housewife welcomes any de-
sirable addition to her bill Of fare. In
nearly all gardens we see peas, beans,
beets, turnips, tomatoes and squashes, but
in comparatively few do we find satisfy,
yet 1t is one of the most delicious vege-
tables we have, and can be prepared for
the table In number of different ways
II you never tried IL, by all means add
satisfy to your list of seeds this spring.
The Mammoth Sandwich Island is the
best variety. 1t win grow well in any good
garden soil, but Will have the longest,
smoothest roots In light or mellow soil
well pulverized to the depth of twelve
inches. Sow early in spring in drills a
foot or more apart, covering the seed not
more than two inches. Thin out to six
inches apart. A portion of the crop can
be dug in the fall, If desired, but the
greater part should remain In the ground
all winter. like parsnips II covering OF
straw be given the bed, the roots can be
dug at any time during the winter.
Satisfy Is commonly called the veze-
table oyster, having somewhat the flavor
of the real bivalve. 1t can be used for
soups also boiled and fried. The follow
ing way of preparing makes delicious
dish: Wash and scrape the roots, slice
in pieces quarter of an inch thick and
boil In salt and water. Put over In cold
water and boil for half an hour from the
time Il begins boiling. About FIVE min
utes before taking from the stove add one
tablespoonful of -four, half a cupful OF
cream, half cupful OF milk, and butter

This is the season that the weed -four
ishes 1t will do so because of its yigor,
when the crop planted stands still, and
gives the weed every chance TO make the
sown crop failure. The habits of growth
of the various weeds that infest ones farm
must be given faithful and persistent study
to enable the farmers to eradicate them
most effectively.
If the weeds classified as ANIMALS, or
those bearing seed from seed in one sea-
son, are known, it would be vastly more
easy to exterminate them and then atten-
ton be given to other classes of weeds.
The seeds of some ANIMALS retain their vi
tally as they are encased in an oily cont
ing which enables them to resist decay for
several years. of which the wild mustard
is an example.
Many of the biennials, or those rroduc-
ing seed the second year, have a tap root.
growing deep into the soil This class Of
weeds is only reproduced by seed, and de-
spite their tenacity of life, yet any mode
of destruction that will prevent them from
producing seed will eventually effect their
destruction.
The perennials are those living from
year to year, as the ox-eye daisy and
plantain. While this class of weeds is
only produced from seed, yet the plant
once produced, unless destroyed, continues
to reproduce seed.
This study will prove not only fascinat-
ing, but will result in aiding to eradicate
weeds from the farm, If their destruction
is pursued along known lines of their life
habits. Euch views of the weed problem
are more evidence of the need of an intel
iigent man to WELD the hoe.

Feeding Value of sorghum.

Chemical analyses show that the feed
ing value of sorghum is greatest when
the plant is young, says the Rural World
When two feet high it contains three
times as much heterogeneous matter, twice
as much fats, and only two-thirds as
much fiber or woody material as it does
when 1t has attained it's growth and
formed seeds. Young sorghum is an al
most perfect stock food, since it contains
f1esh-forming materials and fat-forming
materials in the ratio of to 7. When
nearly matured this ratio is 1 to %, the
fat-forming materials being very excess
sive. Therefore the crop should be used
for pasturage at least before the seeds
form. II would be profitable to begin to
pasture the sorghum when it is not more
than two feet high, since the stalks first
eaten off will usually produce second
growth of young cane, which will ball
ance the increasing fat-forming properties
of the other crop.
Young sorghum is very succulent
food. 1t contains about IS per cent. of
water, or only Is per cent. of dry matter.
Over $50 pounds per day of the green fod-
der would be required to furnish sufficient
food for growing cattle or mich cows
of 1000 pounds weight. The best results
are obtained by using some dry feed along
with sorghum pasturage.
AS compared with forage plants which
are available for late summer pasturage,
young sorghum is somewhat deficient in
1esh-forming material, containing less
than blue grass or Bromusjnermis. about
the same as timothy, and a little more
than Indian corn.
Sorghum should be cut for fodder at as
early a stage as 1t can be well cured.
Analyses show that after the period of
Towering the sorghum stalk rapidly be-
comes more fibrous or woody, and the
proportion of the more valuable food
principles is correspondingly decreased.
Sorghum fodder does not possess any
great feeding value. Even If cut while
heading out it will have somewhat
smaller amount of fesh-forming material
than most hay crops, and less than corn
fodder, but more than straw of the small
grains The fondness live stock have for
this fodder Is doubtless due to the sugar
(probably chiefly glucose) which II con-
tains. It's relatively high percentage of
heat and energy producing materials
makes 1t especially adaptable for cold
weather feeding.
