Secretary Coburn of the Board OF
Agriculture, in his dairy statistics,
says: THE state has again advanced
in total output and value of her COW
products. The years aggregate value
of butter and cheese made, and milk
sold for other purposes, is $6,643 ,O58-
the largest in the history of the state
being 9.8 per cent more than last
year and 81, 1885,, 306, or 1858 per cent
more than the year before.
"The total quantity of butter re-
ported is 43,757, 767 lbs.-an increase
over last year of 2,3O6, 786 lbs, or 5.66
per cent. Of this, So per cent, or 26,-
500, 112 lbs, were made in families, and
Al per CEN or II, 94S, 645 lbs, in cream
cries. The value of the product from
families is So, 1888, 003, and from cream
cries SO, 051, 259-making a total for the
state of SIS, $3.50, 272; Dr. 1911 per cent
greater than in 1898.
"The quantity of cheese reported is
1,163, $50 lbs, or 255, 1856 lbs. less than
last year, and it's total value is $104,-
731. Of the entire quantity produced.
1926 per cent was made in families.
and the balance in factories.
THE value of milk sold for other
purposes than making butter and
cheese was $64S, 054, or 5.22 per cent
more than last year, and 11.16 per cent
more than the year before. While
many unthinking persons may regard
the products of the cows as of small
Importance, it is interesting to know
that their total value is equal to 80
per cent of output Of the rich Kansas
zinc. mines and their products from
Kansas smelters for the same time,
and that it would pay the total state
county and township taxes for 1898, OF
within II per cent of the entire x
penses of the splendid public school
system for two years. If he values
of the large quantities of butter and
milk consumed in the homes on the
farms was added the grand total
would be considerably increased, bu'
unfortunately there is NO accoun'
taken of that"

criticism, especially when the states
cover several degrees of latitude or
have diverse conditions caused by large
bodies Of water or many elevations.
Most Of these fruit lists are made by
a committee chosen from different
parts of the state, often coming from
counties where the soil, climate, and
elevations are different. They meet
and find themselves at variance and
have to patch UP the best truce they
can. Perhaps this is as well as can
be done under the circumstances, but
it is evident that we will have to get
down to more serious work in the flu
ture.
Someone asks the question: us cold
storage diminishing the necessity for
late-keeping varieties of apples?" In
the light of the present years expert
ence We would say no. Even cold stor-
age cannot be depended on to keep
the fall varieties till mid-winter or
spring. Many thousands of barrels OF
that kind of fruit that went into cold
storage last fall kept very badly. This
may not have been the fault of the
cold storage, but of the condition of
the fruit when it was put in. We can
not depend on storing fruit in proper
condition for storage, or Of having 1t
eaten up as soon as it gets out of the
cold storage house. We must have
apples that will hold together for
weeks before being stored as well as
weeks after coming from the cold stor-
age house. If q man buys a barrel of
apples for his family he wants to
know that they will last some weeks
till they can be used up. No, cold
storage has not diminished the neces-
sity for late keeping fruits.

horticultural observations.

When trees are planted in an or
chard with the idea of cutting some
of them out the Missouri pippin is
recommended for alternate rows. 1t
is an early bearer and short lived. The
trouble with trees that are not short
lived is that when once put into the
orchard they are neglected and al
lowed to grow long after they should
have been taken out. A tree that dies
itself is to be preferred in such a posi-
ton.

In early spring, last year, l ploweo
to the depth of six inches, a piece Oh
blue grass Sod. In May l cut the SOD
thoroughly with the disc. The latter
part of June l planted the land to po-
tatoes in the following manner, says
a contributor to Epitomist: Plowed
one round in the middle of the patch.
Planted potatoes-which were cut in
halyes-in these two burrows. Placed
the seed on the mellow soil, at the side
of the furrow, and a little from the
bottom in order to prevent the furrow
horse from stepping on it, and also
to guard against planting too deep.
Covered with the plow, and then plant
ed in every third furrow.
The fiat side of the seed was placed
underneath, for that gives each plant
a fair chance and the crop will ripen
evenly. When the potatoes had had
time to sprout nicely, the ground was
thoroughly narrowed. AS soon as the
plants appeared above ground the Gull
tivator was put to work, and followed
with the harrow. They were now left
alone until six or eight inches high.
Potatoes planted in this way do not
make much growth until the fa'l rains
come. But l have always succeeded
in growing a good crop by planting
the middle of June. My last years
crop yielded 285 bushels per acre.
always plant a late variety, if l pant
late in the season.
My regular system is to pillow my po-
tato ground late in the fall or very
early in the spring. l am never much
bothered with bugs. Just as soon as
the soil is fit to work in the spring
plant early potatoes. l always cut of
and throw away the cluster of sprouts

Teatinr Seeds.

We herewith show an arrangement
Tor testing seeds, as described in a pub
~Iication by the Department of Agri-
culture. Take two plates and place
IN one of them a folded cloth. Wool
Or flannel is preferable, since it re-
mains moist for a long time, but any
cloth will do. The cloth should be
water, since they may contain chem
lcals that may be injurious to the
seed. Wet the cloth, pressing out the
surplus water, leaving it very damp,
but not soaked. Place the seeds be-
tween the folds of cloth, put in the
number of the record, marked in PEN
ell on a piece Of paper, with date and
number of seeds, and cover with the
second plate inverted. Plenty of air
will get in between the plates and the
upper one will prevent too rapid evap-
oration Of moisture. If the tests are
to be made during the winter, keep the
apparatus in the living room, as the
heat of such room will be sufficient
for most seeds. During the night the
seeds should be put in a warm place.
Instead of the cloth, old newspapers
well-soaked may be used. These neeo
to be moistened more frequently, now
ever.

care is necessary in recording the num-

A bulletin on hog raising in the
south says: The number of filters
which a SOW should be allowed to have
before she is fattened for ~butchering
depends on the animal herself. When
a young SOW has only four or five pigs,
or shows herself to be a poor mixer
or a careless and Indifferent mother,
the one she is fattened the better;
but if she does fairly we'll she should
be given a second trial. The second
litter is usually larger than the first.
If she then proves a good mother and
her pigs from both filters develop into
good porkers, ste should be kept as a
breeder until she can be replaced by a
more prolific and better animal. An
old sow which regularly raises large
filters of good pigs is worth half a
dozen untried gifts. An aged SOW
mated with a young boar will produce
pigs which will mature earlier than
those produced when the SOW is young
and the boar aged, which is a strong
argument in favor of keeping a SOW as
long as she continues to breed salts
factorily. Ordinarily sows cease to be
profitable breeders after they are A
or 5 years old, but some raise good
filters after they reach 8 or 8 years.
fails to give a good litter whenever il
is due, she may as well be -fattened al

Nitric Acid.-Nitrogen as n~itrates,
such as nitrate of soda and nitrate of

nitrogen, as for example sulphate of
ammonia, while it may possibly be
utilized directly by plants to a slight
extent, is practically all changed to
nitric acid before it's assimilation. For
this reason it cannot act quite as
quickly as nitrate nitrogen. Some loss
of nitrogen is also possible, since as a
rule nitrogen as sulphate of ammonia
has been found but about nine-tenths
as useful as the same amount of nitro
gen in the form of nitrates.

killing the Weeds,

The main trouble with us farmers
Is that we do not kill the weeds be-
fore they have done mischief in dry
ing out the ground and robbing the
planted crop of. that much fertility that
it takes to grow the weeds, even
though they are not allowed to go to
seed, say Homestead. 1t takes a year
or more because these big weeds decay
and are available as plant food. we
can't very well keep weeds from grow
ing, but we can keep them from doing
much damage by early and persistent
guilty alton. If your planted corn is
we'll narrowed, so that there are no
clods, you can cultivate 1t the hrst
time as soon as the first sprouts are
seen above ground, and you can do 1t
quickly, too, as it don't matter II some
loose dirt does the sprouts. AT
ter such a cultivation, when the corn
is three or four inches high, you can
use a light harrow to advantage, not
alone on account of the weeds 1t will
kill, but mainly because it levels and
~pulVerizes the ground, making the Sec
ond cultivation as much easier. l new
er slant the teeth much when harrow
ing corn in this way, because l find
that a slanting tooth cuts the plant
severely, and If there is any trash,
stalks, etc., a slanting tooth will drag
them for some distance anyway, and
tear out the corn. There is more room
under the harrow for old roots and
stalks to dodge the teeth, when they
(the teeth) are straight or nearly so,
and by watching carefully and stop
ping instantly when anything is wrong
you can do a good job narrowing. ]
