The Rev. Father Girimondi, secu-
lar Catholic priest, who was recently
appointed by President Mckinley as
consul at Santos, Brazil, has arrived in
Washington to receive his final in
structions before departing for his post
Father John j. Girimondi had a living
in the Archdiocese in the Northwest
which is under the charge of Arch
bishop Ireland. The appointment is
unprecedented. in that no Catholic
priest has ever before been appointed
to diplomatic position by a president
of the United States. Several senator's
who were asked about the matter de-
clared they did not know of Father
Girimondfs occupation when they
voted to confirm him. Eater Girimon-
di is an Italian by birth and was edu-
Gated in America. He is an accom-
plished linguist, speaking seven Ian
guages.

that were cared for in that building
during the first part of April are now
in various places. The Boland trade

Ogden, May 16.-Robert B. Smith
governor of Montana, was in Ogden to.
day. en- route from California to Mon
tana. The governor spent the after
noon here and was the angriest man
that ever talked freely to an Ogden
newspaper man. His anger was due
to the action of Senator Clark and Act
ing Governor Spriggs in turning the
political trick which bids fair to land
Clark in the United States senate. in
spite Of opposition and in spite of the
fact that the DAILY faction of the Mon
tana Democracy, of which Governor
Smith is a member, thought they had
whipped Clark to a stand-still.
When he fairly warmed up to the
subject, Governor Smiths language
was extremely torrid. An inkling of
what he would like to say was shown
in one paragraph of the interview
which was read to him and approved.
The paragraph was:
The rules governing the transmits
sion of language in the mails and the
laws governing the transmission of Ian
guage over the wires prevent me from
fully and properly expressing my con-
tempt for the dirty trick and trick

Gaining Dairy knowledge.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Stenographic Report of Missouri Dairy
mems Convention)
Mr.. H. ]. Waters read a paper on
what dairyman must know and how
to learn it. In part he said: In the
first place I DO not know all that a
dairyman should know; and second,
I'm not in possession of all the sources
of dairy knowledge. The public and
the dairyman himself do not appreci-
ate how difficult the requirements of
the dairyman are. We will suppose
that every farmer in Missouri were
asked to add to his plant storing
establishment and packing and ship
ping department. Such a farmer
would require a wide range of knowl-
edge and much skill Now the dairy
man is asked to do all that. He is a
manufacturer as we'll as dairyman,
and he must ship his butter to the con-
sumner.
On the other hand the scientific men
have been of more help to the dairy
men than to any other class of farm
ers, and the way is made much easier
because of this help by scientists.
In the first place man must know
his cows. He must know just what
each animal in his herd is doing.
With five-dollar bill man can gft
Babcock tester, and for even a
smaller amount he can get a pair of
scales. Then he can both test and
weigh his milk. He can make COM
posite test every five days, and then
by weighing his milk of each day it
is an easy matter to find the real
value of his cows. Even one test
month will show much.
After you have obtained this infor-
nation and have set limit of pro-
duction below which no cow will be
allowed to go, have the firmness to
dispose of any animal that falls below
the standard. Sometimes a man is
confronted with this problem: A
nice-looking COW falls below the limit

Continuous Cropping Exhausts Soil.

The class in Soil Physics at the Uni
versity of Illinois as a part of their
laboratory work, have undertaken a
special study of samples of soil taken
at different depths from two plats of
ground. One of the plats has been sub
Jected to continuous cropping of corn
for twenty-four years and the other to
a rotation of corn, oats and
clover, for the same length of time,
neither receiving any addition of fer
tilizers during the period, and all of
the stalks and straw in case Of the
grain crops being each year removed
from the plats.
The results of the examination so
far show that there has been a marked
loss of humus in the soil which has
been subjected to constant cropping of
corn. This loss is greatest in the sur
face nine inches of the soil and
amounts to more than so per cent of
the entire humus content as compared
with that of the rotation. This loss
of humus is evidenced by a decrease in
the producing capacity of the soil,
which is now only one-third to one
half of that of average Illinois soils
under ordinary farm conditions. 1t is
also shown by marked change in the
color and physical texture of the upper
layers of the soil, the soil being of
lighter color owing to the loss being
of organic and vegetable matter and to
the ultimate soil particles being appar-
emily reduced in size, which gives the
soil an increased capillary power.

Twelve Christmases in a Row.

In this country the boys and girls
are very well contented with the gIo-
rlous fun of a single Christmas day.
What would they think if they could
share in the celebration of the young
people of some of the European coun-
tries who have twelve Christmases in
a row? In England Twelfth Night is
almost as great a day as Christmas.
In fact, it is called "Old Christmas" 4"
because it was celebrated as Christmas
before the calendar was changed.
During the evening of Twelfth Night
two dishes of little frosted cakes are
passed round, one for the gentlemen
and one for the ladies. In each there
is one cake with a ring and one with
a broken sixpence. The two who get
the ring will be married before the
year is out. The broken sixpence in
dicates an old bachelor or an old maid,
but if the two agree to join their six
pence there is a chance for one of
them. In one of our small cities,
where there are several families who
unite in keeping Twelfth Night every
year, they have but one ring, and who
ever gets it must give the party next
year.

The man at present without sheep

the man with sheep who is not extend

leges, says contributor to the Amer

tendency Of public choice in favor of
sweet, juicy, palatable meats is put

Changing Constituents of Plants.

We have held, quite generally, the
opinion that the constituents or plants
were fixed. within very narrow limit
of variation, but it is now evident that
these opinions will have to be revised,
to some extent at least. we nave
found out that by selection year after
year the chemical constituents OF
plants can be changed, and we have
further learned that the fertilizers
used have a very large effect in the
same direction. So now, in the et-
forts to develop grains having certain
desired qualities we can not only prog
ress by selection but also by fertlllz-
ing. This will be of more value at
first to the eXperimenter than to the
general farmer; though the latter may
finally get much good out of 1t. The
Storrs' experiment station has been
conducting some experiments to ascer-
tain the effect of nitrogenous fertilizers
on cereals and grasses. The results
showed that the effect was greater on
the constituent of the plants than on
the quality of yield. The nitrogen
fertilizer increased the nitrogenous
content of the plant being grown.
Thus the percentage of protein in the
hay crop increased quite uniformly
with the increase in the quantities of
nitrogen in the fertilizers. For ex-
ample in the crops from the plots
upon which the mineral fertilizers
were used alone, the proportion of
lprotein was 1888 per siie;s '1ligaCIt6S, crop
from plot Z, with 25 pounds of nitrogen I
per acre in addition to the minerals,
the proportion of protein was 7.95 per
cent; in the crop from plot s, with so
pounds of nitrogen per acre in the
the proportion of protein
was SAC per cent; and in the crop from
plot 9, to which Is pounds Of nitrogen
per acre were applied, the proportion
Of protein was 9.42 per cent
The effect on the mixed grasses was
even more marked. In all cases, the
owest percentage of protein was found
n the crops from the plots upon which
1nly mineral fertilizers were used. The
average proportion of protein for all
he grasses from the mineral plots was
7.39 per cent; from the plots upon
which 25 pounds of nitrogen per acre
was used, the average proportion of
protein in all the grasses was 9.72 per
cent; from the plots upon which 70
pounds of nitrogen per acre was used
he proportion of protein was 12.49 per
cent. This means that, on the aver
lge, the grasses grown from the plots
lpon which the one-third ration of
nitrogen was used in addition to the
minerals were 80 per cent richer in
protein than those grown on the min
9ral plots and the grasses grown on
he plots upon which the full ration of
nitrogen was used in addition to the
were nearly 20 per cent
richer in protein than those grown on
he mineral plots. These expert
nents emphasize most forcibly the fact
hat great improvement can be made
n the feeding value of our common
grasses by the proper use of nitrogen
JUS fertilizers.
This applies only to non-nitrogenous
crops. With peas and other legumi-
losae the amount of protein was not
increased. This is due to the fact that
LII of this family are abe to get from
he air all the nitrogen they can use
