THE STATE STATION.


Alert Farmers Are Keeping In Touch
with Their Local Scientists.
Farmers appear to be taking more
and more Interest in the >rk done by
their state experiment stations. At the
appearance of new agricultural prob
lens. such as insect pests, plant dis
eases. etc. many of them look for adj
vice and assistance to their station.
The stations also keep them inform.
ed as to new Industries and improved
methods of carrying on the old. The
value which progressive agriculturists
place upon this experimental work Is
indicated by the alertness with which
they seize upon and profitably employ
all valuable information disseminated
from these sources.
According to Secretary Wilson. 1.-The
stations are to an increasing extent be-
coming centers Of information and au-
thority on the lines Of work ip which
they have been engaged, with special
reference to ,thp-iocal requirements OF
Agriculture. THERE'S no meth

valuable to him as to have practical
scientists studying the conditions OF
production In his neighborhood."
In order that the people whom 1t con-
cerned might be better acquainted
with the work done there the Nebraska
station last summer arranged series
of excursions for farmers to the state
farm, which were largely taken ad-
vantage of. and many farmers no
doubt received new impressions and
ideas which were turned to profit In
future work. The systems OF work
and study and the facilities OF diner
ent stations OF course vary. But the
following facts Cleaned from an iiius-
trated account In the Omaha World
Herald of the Nebraska station give
some conception of the methods not
only of that particular institution but
of station work in general;
The agricultural college farm or the
state university and the experiment
station are In this case closely related.
The experiment station is compare
lively new addition to the former,
about 40 acres of the half section or
the farm being given up to experiment
al work. There are half dozen or
more substantial buildings Of brick and
stone on the farm. including the dairy
school. the chronological laboratory
agricultural school, chemical laboratory
animal house and the experiment sta
ton building which is now In process
of completion. Besides these are the
large frame barn. sheds for feeding
buildings for incubation of hogs and
experiments in hog cholera treatment,

Literary Notes.

The leading article of the Century Is
Fl. j. Whighsm's second article on tn,
Boer war, this one dealing with the
fights made by Lord Methuen's division
10 its progress from the Orange River t.
the Modder River. Mr.. Whigham de
scribes three battles, and this is the first
continued magazine account of that cam
paign to be published. His own photo
graphs and his own maps make perfectly
clear to the general reader what has
heretofore appeared AS merely fragments
of news 10 the daily press. The strategy
appears clearly In Mr.. Whitham's writ
ings.
The frankest as well as the most COM
prehensiye and statesmanlike view yet
published of our foreign policy Is that OF
the Hon. Richard Olney, to appear in the
March Atlantic Monthly. 1t is marked
by Mr.. Olney's power Of trenchant and
compressed expression, yet 1t is also
moderate and far-seeng. The recent
movement among Indiana Democrats to
nominate Mr.. Oluey for the Presidency
gives additional interest to this paper.

sity, Is the author of thoughtful article

In the dairy school facilities are pro
vided for practical study of the meth
DDS of treating milk, making butter and
cheese and other work of the dairyman.
Analyses Of soil and food products,
with their comparative value for butter
or fat or bone making, are part Of the
course. The patho- biological laboratO-
~, with its machinery for making and
handling the hog cholera and black leg
treatment and specimens for the study
of the action Of most of diseases to
which domestic animals are subject, Is
an interesting part of the place.
Field experiments under the supervi-
sion Of the director of the station are
carried on with grains, grasses. sugar
beets and other products. d,
On the western plains there Is a new
problem to the farmer who came from
east Of the river. The depth proper
for tillage. just how much and how of
ten to pillow for certain crops. have to be
learned over again. and even now the
best farmers are learning new lessons
In these lines. On the farm where the
sustenance of the family depends upon
success experiments are dangerous and
failures disastrous. Here the expert
ments can be made. and the work Of
the experiment station Is to give the
farmer the benefit of this.
Take alfalfa. for instance. Hardly
any farmer would have been able TO
spare the land and expend the patience
that was necessary to demonstrate the
fact that certain land under certain
conditions could profitably produce the
plant. 1t was done here and the assur
ance that In similar conditions farmers
can safely plant and depend upon the
outcome is invaluable to the western
stock raiser.

Its After Effects when Used For Po-
tatO Scab-Best Form 10 Apply.
Sulphur as preventive of potato
scab is receiving much attention at
present The Rhode Island station pre-
sents an interesting summary of Its OBJ
servations OH the after effect of sui
phur when applied to soils for this pur
pose:
Sulphur employed in considerable
quantities upon soils which are acid or
which contain but limited excess of
basic ingredients Is capable Of causing
much subsequent injury to crops, tho
extent of the same being greatest upon
acid or neutral soils.
The application of sulphur to soils
for preventing potato scab regardless
of the character of the reaction of the
soil Is liable to occasionally cause much
injury.
Sulphate Of ammonia, which has n
high manurial value by virtue of its
nitrogen. gives promise of being far
more satisfactory and economical than
flowers of sulphur as means of less
ening the tendency TO scab In contain
mated soils which are favorable to the
growth of the fungus.
