Instrument for Soil Experimental

The division of soils of the United
States department of agriculture has
Just described a new instrument now
In use for investigating the properties
OF soils. This is great time and labor
saving apparatus, giving accurate and
reliable results, which otherwise would
require months to obtain.
The physical properties of soils are
recognized by plant psychologists to be
OF the greatest importance in plant
economy Even in the consideration
OF climatic conditions it is now gen.
orally considered that for most plants
the conditions Of the soil hold equal
rank with atmospheric conditions. A
high temperature in the soil under ia
vorable conditions promotes extensive
root development; high atmospheric
temperature under equally favorable
conditions fayors heavy growth of
foliage. A deficiency in water OF
either air or soil Is attended with dis
tress.
The new apparatus as devised by the
division of soil is an electric affair. 1t
registers a half dozen or more various
soil properties. This method depends
upon the principle that the resistance
offered to the passage of an electric
current from one carbon plate to an
other buried in the soil depends upon
the amount of moisture present be-
tween the carbon plates or electrodes.
This resistance is measured.

On Thrae Hundred O Year.

It is not unlikely that we are to
have other sensations from the White
House from time to time than those
the president will furnish us. Mrs.
Roosevelt is apparently quite as in
dependent in her views as her dis
tinguished husband, and has no hesi-
tation in expressing them. She is
reported as saying that lady in fash
ionable Washington society can dresR
suitably and adequately on $500 a
year.
This is certainly good news to hus-
bands whose incomes are limited and
yet would like TO see their wives and
daughters arrayed in fashionable at
tire. II one can dress like the first
lady OF the land on an allowance Of
$25 a month, what more should be
asked by any woman?

the results show, they were in good

the good feeding qualities of the

can be made from it, when the calf

weaving and then pushed for baby

were fattened in this experiment were

without regard to their value for the
production Of baby beef. They
brought an average of $40 each when
marketed at about year old.

From a recent bulletin on the Hes
sian fly issued by the Kansas Expert
ment station we take the following:
Concerning the value of burning the
stubble. and thus destroying the con-
tanned pupae Of the fly, opinion is
somewhat divided. II done at once
after harvesting, especially in fields
where the header was used, this meth
cd Is certainly effective. II practiced by
the neighborhood in general. But by
burning, not only are the pupae Of the
fly destroyed, but the contained para
sites as well, whose aid Is the more
important factor, after all, In the sub
jugation Of the pest. Moreover, the
burning Of the stubble, in the opinion
Of some wheat growers, robs the soil
of important physical. II not manurial
constituents. which should be incor-
porated by blowing under and not de-
stroyed by burning Early blowing Of
the stubble ground, as soon as possible
after harvest, II the ground be com.
pacted afterward by narrowing or roll
ing, will serve the same end with less
loss in this respect
Considered in all relations, where
one method alone is followed. 1t is
best, in the writer's opinion, to depend
upon late sowing. The adult insect
flies and lays eggs according to season
earlier or later in summer or fall. but
cannot withstand the frost; and wheat
appearing after the first white frost
OF the season will be free from attack.
This fact is confirmed by the present
years experience of correspondents Of
the Kansas station. Early sown areas,
on the other hand, will sometimes be
found SO badly infested. through the
massing of the insects thereon. that
the wintering of the plant will be a
matter OF doubt.
Against the spring brood, which
weakens the stalk and lightens the
grain, little can be done except by
means to limit the winter brood of lar
vac. The thorough destruction OF vol
unteer wheat. accompanied by late
seeding, through their reduction OF the
numbers Of insects wintering over, are
the most practical means. Owing to
the situation of the larvae in the crown
Of the plant. there Is little possibility
of valuable results from pasturing the
wheat during fall and winter. Where
fields are pastured early, chance eggs
may be destroyed before Matching. but
the advantage thus gained will be
slight. II any.

skim MIX Calves.

A report Of the Kansas Experiment
Station says: Feeders find that the
average skim-milk calf does not make
profitable gains In the feed lot and
will not buy him. Farmers find that
the difference in price between an or
binary skim-milk calf and one that
has run with the COW is frequently
greater than the profits made from
milking, and they drop dairy work.
The Kansas Experiment Station re-
:ently fattened 100 head of calves for
baby beef. These were divided into
aine lots-one lot OF ten had been
raised by hand with skim-milk. and
another lot of ten had run with their
Jams in small pastures until wean-
ing. Both lots were put in fattening
yards at weaving and were fed for
seven months on alfalfa hay and
corn. The results are as follows:
Calves raised with dam gained 435
pounds per head: amount of corn re-
quired to make 100 pounds gain, ATS;
amount of alfalfa required to make
100 pounds gain, 472.
Skim-milk calves gained 40
pounds; amount Of corn required to
make 100 pounds gain, 4S9; amount
Of alfalfa required for 100 pounds
gain, 436 pounds.
The skim-milk calves were fed un-
til weaving on sterilized skim-milk
with grain ration composed Of equal
parts Of corn and Kafir corn, with all
the alfalfa hay they would eat They
were fed in this way twenty-five
weeks and made an average daily
gain OF one and a half pounds per
calf. The feed to raise these calves

PRESIDENT DIAZ's WAY.
Another Corner In Corn and How 1t
Was Smashed.

Was Smashed.
President Diaz of Mexico has Just
interfered with little corner in corn,
10 the sorrow of certain spectators
and the joy Of lot Of other people.
In Mexico there is a tariff on corn,
and owing to shortage of the crop
this year certain manipllators thought
they saw chance to do some squeez-
ing.
They bought up the visible supply
and then proceeded to raise the price.
Mexican working people live largely
upon corn, and when the corner was
formed they found themselves in a
sorry plight. President Diaz then
stepped forward to take hand in the
game.
When Diaz wants to do things in
Mexico, 1t may be mentioned paren-
thetically, he doesn't wait around to
find out whether Congressman who
don't want their names mentioned are
going to like II or not. He just goes
ahead and acts. Therefore when he

The American Guernsey Cattle Club
has adopted an advanced registry for
cattle Of that breed" with the object
of encouraging greater development
of the milk capacities in the cows.
The secretary sends the Farmers Re-
view statement of the requirements.
which are as follows:
All cows admitted must equal or
exceed one Of the following records:
Years Milk Record-If record is
commenced the day the animal is two
years, or previous to that day, she
must produce within one year from
that date 5000 lbs OF milk. For each
day the animal is over two years old
at the beginning of her years record
tho amount of milk she will be re-
quired to produce in the year will be
established by adding 1865 lbs for ev-
cry such day to the 5000 lbs required
when two years old. This ratio Is ap-
plicable until the animal is five years
old, when the required amount will
have reached 10000 lbs, which will
be the amount of milk required OF all
cows five years old or over.
Years Butter Fat Record-If record
is commenced the day the animal is
two years old, or previous to that day,
she must produce within one year
from that date 250.5 lbs butter fat.
For each day the animal is over two
years old at the beginning OF her
years record, the amount OF butter
fat she will be required to produce
in the year will be established by add
ing i (one-tenth) of pound for each
such day to the 2505 lbs. required
when two years old. This ratio is ap-
plicable until the animal Is five years
old, when the required amount will
have reached 800 lbs, which will be
the amount of butter fat required of
all cows five years or over.
Seven Days Butter Fat Record
II record is commenced the day the
animal is two years old, or previous
to that day, she must produce within
seven days from that date 10 lbs but
ter fat. For each day the animal Is
over two years old at the beginning
of her seven-day record, the amount
of butter fat she will be required to
produce in the seven days will be
established by adding .00456 (456
hundred thousandths) of pound for
each such day to the 10 lbs. required
when two years old. This ratio is ap-
plicable until the animal is five years
old, when the required amount will
have reached is lbs, which will be
the amount of butter fat required of
all cows five years or over.
The above yearly standards are
ord from the time Of beginning, re-
CARELESS of the time lost by being dry
or calving during that period, should
such be the case.
The per cent of butter fat shall be
determined by the Babcock test. For
the purpose of estimating the amount
of butter from the amounts of butter
fat produced, We recognize the rule
approved by the Association Of Agri-
cultural Colleges and Experiment Sta
tions, namely, add one-sixth to the
amount of butter fat" 1t should be
understood. however. that in all rec
ords made for or published in the
Advanced Register the amount Of
butter fat produced will only be
given.
For further information, Guernsey
breeders should write to the secre-

The Yearly MIX Yield.

Professor Dean of the Guelph Ex-
pertinent station says that no COW
that gives less than 5000 pounds Of
milk per year should be retained in
the farmers herd of milch cows. The
standard set by the professor is one
easily in reach Of all the farmers now
living In dairy sections, or In sections
where beef production has not been
made the main thing in stock raising.
Taking the year as q whole, 5000
pounds year means only an average
of about 16 pounds Of milk per day.
or about eight quarts, an average Of
four quarts at a milking. Certainly
this Is moderate demand on the
performance of the COW. OF course
we realize that during a part of the
year the COW is dry, but this period Is
not often more than month In dura-
ton, and for the first six months the
milk fow is SO large that the average
for the year Is not difficult to reach.
The farmer will find it very easy to
ascertain the weight Of his milk, and
no such experience is required as in
the case of the Babcock milk test.
Every farmer that keeps milch cows
should have scales in his barn for the
Weighing Of the milk. The men that
follow their milk yields continually
say that 1t requires less than a min
ute per COW per day to do this. The
farmer can then act intelligently. At
the end of year he can tell what his
cows are doing in the way of produc-
ing revenue. OF course the compare
tive richness of the milk should be
known, but this may be ascertained
by periodic tests for fat. Even with
out this test, the scales will do good
work in showing the farmer what hi
cows are doing.

"HeIo Girls" at Home and Abroad.


The British postoffice department de-
cided recently to employ women as
telephonists, thus following the prac-
tice which obtains under other gov
ernments and among private compan-
les, but though the step is approved
complaint is made against the scale of
pay. In London a girl must begin at
IL shillings a week, and the pay dur.
ing the fifth year is only 20 shiIlings
An article in the London Chronicle de.
clares that these rates are the lowest
paid in Europe, and turns to Belgium
for an illustration of what is done ON
the continent.
There the novice starts with can
a year, or about Is shillings penca
a week, and there is an advance ~
eS per year for each successive wear
until ISIS is reached. This maximum
figure amounts to about "a shiIlings a
week, while the highest wage for SUI
perior appointments in London ia 2s

moisture contents of a seemingly uni
form soil may vary as much as 4 per

Consequently in order to obtain con-
sistent record of the change in water
