Some Fertilizer Facts.

If mineral fertilizer be needed, gen.
eral experience teaches that acid phos-
phate is by far the more profitable. This
can be still better understood when We
have explained some principles of acid
phosphate manufacture. The finely
ground lime phosphate rock Is treated
with about an equal weight of strong
sulphuric acid. Chemical changes take
place, so that a part of the phosphoric
acid becomes soluble in water. Another
part, though less soluble, is made read
lily available to growing crops; while
small amount still retains its insol-
uble and unavailable character. One
other important change has taken
place. The sulphuric acid has COM
bined with the lime, making lime sui
phate, commonly called gypsum or
land plaster, so that it forms nearly
half of the total weight of the acid
phosphate. 1t is now well established
that this plaster frees large amounts of
insoluble soil potash, and so makes the
fertilizer element which is so much
the most abundant in our soils avail
able for plant use. Hence. acid phos-
phate supplies phosphoric acid directly
and potash indirectly. The two or
three per cent of potash in the average
mixture of acid phosphate and potash
is perfectly justifiable, as small
amount of this element may give the
crop a better start and may even be a
necessity. Since only part of the
available phosphoric acid is used dur
ing the first year of its application. it
has been found best to apply consider
ABLY more than the crop will remove.
Three hundred pounds for a soil in
good condition would not be excessive
for general farm crops.
Something should now be said in
favor of the ammoniated fertilizer.
For example, it is often used with prof
it on strong lands when one exhaust
ing crop follows another, as wheat
after corn. A little easily available
nitrogen is furnished. so that the
wheat gets better start, after which
it can forage more vigorously for it.
self.
In conclusion, rely first of all on
cowpeas and stable manure. Try min
eral fertilizers, acid phosphate in par
ticular, as valuable helps. Buy acid
phosphate, muriate of potash, and cot
ton-seed meal by themselves, so that
you can make your own experiments
and mix your own goods to suit your
crop and soil.-Charles A. Mooers,

The Hessian Fly.

In our illustration I, /, show the male
insect both natural size and enlarged.
The male, it will be seen. is little
smaller than the female, which is
shown in both natural and enlarged
size at 2, 2. The larva or maggot Is
shown at 3 and 5. At and 6 are
shown the fiaxseeds.
This insect was first noticed on Long
Island in the year 1776, and was called
Hessian Fly, on account of the belief
that it was brought over in wheat
straw by the Hessians. The presence
in the fiaxseed state of this insect be-
tween the leaf and stalk of wheat
causes the stem to swell and the leaves
to wither and die. The body of the
female is rather slender, uniformly
dark brown, the head is round but
somewhat fiattened, the eyes are black,
the wings uniformly dull smoky
brown, while the legs are paler brown
than the rest of the upper side of the
body. The male is rather smaller
than the female, being distinguished
by the long, slender abdomen and the
longer and more hairy antennae, in
which there are twenty joints.
The egg is of pale red color. very
minute in size. about fifteenth of an
inch in length. The eggs are usually
laid on the upper side Of the blade near
where it joins the stock or crown OF
the root. The eggs hatch in from
four days to two or three weeks. ac-
cording to the weather, and the larva
makes its way down to the base of the
sheath. Here it fastens lengthwise and
head downwards to the tender stalk,
and lives upon the sap. 1t does not
grow on the stalk, nor does it enter the
central cavity thereof, but as it in
creases in size it gradually becomes
imbedded in the substance of it, caus-
ing it to swell and the plant to turn
yellow and die. BY the end of Novem-
Der they assume the "flaxseed'' state,
and may, on the removal of the lower
leaves, be found as little brown, oval,
cylindrical, smooth bodies, a little

A communication from the Ohio Ag-
ricultural College, says: With favora-
BILE meteorological conditions, the
threadlike branches of the fungus will
take possession of the interior OF the
bug. When the bug dies. branches are
pushed out through the body and pro-
duce clusters Of minute capsules filed
with spores. Sometimes these clusters
are so thick ON the dead bugs as to
almost obscure the body. and only the
legs are visible, or the bugs may be
clustered on plant. dead and covered
with fungus. Now. as these capsules
containing the spores burst, they re-
lease the spores and these may be still!

is easy to see how one diseased bug
among a mass OF several hundred may
affect the whole of them. and II some
of the infected ones. before becoming
helpless, stray to distance, the infec-
ton is carried from place to place and
in this way diffused from field to field
Thus it will be observed that however
easily large masses of bugs may be de-
stroyed by this fungus enemy, under
favorable conditions, the prospect or
its working is not very encouraging II
either the bugs are badly scattered or
the weather is dry.

Growth is slow: there is only one
brood, and, when not excessively
abundant, the insect does not do much
injury. AS matter of fact. however,
it does often become excessively
abundant, and lilacs, for instance, may
become so covered that no portion of
the bark can be seen between the
scales. The male scales are about one
sixteenth of an inch long. and the fe-
males about double that length.
Walnut and butternut trees are very
susceptible to the attacks of this spe-
cies, and are sometimes killed even
when Of considerable size. Among
fruit trees apples are the most suscep-
tible and branches are occasionally de-
stroyed. Young trees may be killed in
some instances, but old trees are rarely
much harmed. or the shade trees will

Outlook for Cattle Prices.

For many years to come the prices
of cattle must be good. especially for
the better class of meat. The recent
depression had the effect of checking
the breeding of cattle of all kinds and
the number of cattle in the country fell
steadily for a number of years. The
result of that curtailment of the cat
tie supply is that the base on which to
produce the vast numbers now annu-
ally required is restricted. There is
another factor that enters very large
ly into the solution Of the problem and
that is that the people are demanding
more than ever finer quality Of beef.
There was probable never a time when
the difference between the poorest and
best meats in the markets was 30
great as it is today. So 1t comes about
that in the city of Chicago one can get
porterhouse steak at rs cents pound
or at IL cents a pound, and at all
prices between the two. The quality
Of the steaks varies, of course, accord
ing to the prices. except when poor
meat is dishonesty palmed off on the
customer for high-quality meat. The
difference in prices indicates that the
high-quality meats are in great de-
mand. These high-quality meats come
from pure-bred and grade stock. The
increasing prices for the high-quality
meats indicate that the money in the
future for cattle raisers Is In well-bred
animals Most aaSuradIv that man that
is doing his best to grade up his herd
of cattle is paving the way for good
money returns in the future. The
experience of the past few years, when
men rushed out of the business OF
breeding good cattle because there was
a temporary fall in the values, should
teach men today that the course OF
wisdom lies in steadily improving the
quality of their cattle.

Sugar Beet Experiments In Nebraska.
The sugar beet experiments were
continued in 1899 on land in the Platte
river valley at Ames, Dodge county,
Nebraska. The Standard Cattle Co.,
located at that point, in addition to
furnishing land for the experiment
plots also placed two thousand acres
of sugar beets at the disposal Of the
station, for experimental purposes. This
area comprised considerable number
Of varieties of beets, also soils of diff
ferent character, treatment, cropping,
etc. 1t was thus possible to carry on
part Of the experimental work on a
very large scale. In spacing beets the
most satisfactory results were obtained
by having the space between the rows
Of beets eighteen inches, with beets
eight inches apart in the row. This ad-
mits of horse cultivation and yet
brings the plants sufficiently close to-
gether to prevent their growing too
large.
Experiments in 1899 and previous
years have shown that shallow culti-
walton throughout the growing season
is desirable. Deep cultivation dries out
the soil to greater depth and de-
creases the yield of beets. This is
true on both heavy and light soil in Me-
braska. Three to four inches is deep
enough to cultivate and hoe the beets.
The use of commercial fertilizers and
of barnyard manure increased mate
rally the yield per acre, but not the
sugar content or purity of the beets.
The advantage to be derived from the
use OF commercial fertilizers is not suf-
ficient to pay for their cost. With barn
yard manure, however, the case is en-
tirely different, and it's use either for
previous crop or directly for the beet
crop was profitable.
OF the varieties tested during 1898
and 1899, on both heavy and light soil,
the best were the original Klein Wang
lebener, Pioneer Klein Wanzlebener,
Vilmorin, Drumez Elite and Knauer.
A very striking difference was to be
noticed in beets growing in different
soils. The fields covered by the expert
ments included both sandy loan soil
and a compact clay. A comparison Of
these soils for beet raising both in a
year of average rainfall (1S9S) and Of
excessive rainfall QS99) showed that
the heavy soil produced very much bet
ter beets, although they did not ma
ture so rapidly as did those on the
lighter soil.

Reports come to us Of the poisoning
of two boys by eating Unison weed.
One of the boys was dead and the
other in great danger at the last re-
port. 1t would hardly seem reason
able to suppose that anyone, even a
child, would care to eat Jimson weed,
but as such cases do occur the danger
should be guarded against. Unison
weeds flourish in the vacant lots and
places that have been despoiled of
their covering of grass without any,
thing being put in their place. The
weed was illustrated in the Farmers
Review not long since and attention
called to it's poisonous properties, but
we reproduce it here that our readers
may become more familiar with it,
Children are poisoned by playing with
the leaf in the mouth, and after the
seeds ripen by eating them, especially
in the case of children that are too
young to understand the danger.
Wherever found growing near the
home they should be removed, as they
are not only dangerous to children but
also to cattle.
