Experience shows that It is profit,
able to apply gypsum to some kinda
OF soil. Last year Forest Savage Of
Lawrence applied few hundred
pounds Of gypsum to wheat held.
The vigorous growth and healthy
green color OF this portion testified to
the benefit derived from the condition
Of the gypsum. Bro. Haworth thinks
that the productiveness Of Kansas soil
can be greatly increased, particularly
IN the eastern part of the state where
gumbo patches are common and hard
pan Is abundant. He was betraying
no professional secret when he stated
that many of the big packing houses
used large quantities Of ground gyp-
sum to mix with other animal fertil-
izers. The farmers of the west are
slow in getting around to commercial
fertilizers, but when these materials
can be had near at hand there is no
reason why they may not be profit
able.

Alfalfa in the Hog Ration.

At the Oklahoma station alfalfa pas
ture. with and without the addition of
grain, was studied with number of
pigs. Other forage crops wer, also
tested, including sugar beets, cow
peas, sorghum, sweet potatoes and pea
nuts. During part of the tests the feed
ing stuffs were cut and fed; during
the remainder of the time they were
harvested by the pigs. These tests
led to the following general con-
clusions: Alfalfa is excellent as pas
ture for hogs. Pigs will make some
gain with no other food, excellent
gains when fed grain on the alfalfa.
Continuous pasturing will injure and
may destroy the alfalfa. With rare ex-
ceptions, alfalfa should not be pastured
the year it is sown. Sorghum also
makes a fair pasture for hogs. Sow
ing cow-peas, planting peanuts or
sweet potatoes, and allowing hogs to
harvest the crop, giving them some
grain in addition, reduces the cost of
pork production. Sugar beets are much
relished by any class of stock. The
greater cost of growing them as COM
pared with other crops makes it doubt
full if they are an economical crop when
used in large quantities.

Toads As Medicine,

Out of the queer use of a common
creature regarded as most potent in
old-time medicine there came the most
surprising and nearly the most import
ant of inventions. Nearly every school
boy knows that toad can cause warts
or make the COW give bloody milk, but
not everybody knows that toads are
also powerfully medicinal. 1t is a fact.
Martin Luther says so. These are his
very words: Experience has proved
the toad to be endowed with valuable
qualities. If you run a stick through
three toads, and, after having dried
them in the sun, apply them to any
pestilent humor, they draw out the poi
son, and the malady will disappear"
Pope Adrian always carried a bag
about his neck containing dried toad,
pearl, coral, gum, tragacanth, smaragd
and other articles of junk 1t did him
a power of good he said. It was all
that kept him up. And lest you think
that they only did that hundreds of
years ago, want to say here that
when my father was a boy and suf-
fered from quinsy they used to tie live
frogs about his throat. The frogs
nearly clawed the hide off. They did
not cure the quinsy, but that's de-
tail.-Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's.

Clean Milking Important.

One of the things worth doing
well'' is milking the cows. Why a
cow ought to be MIXED clean every
time is too old story and has too
many arguments to back it up to
make lecture necessary every
time it is mentioned. But its i'm
portance cannot be brought out too
frequently, says Jersey Bulletin. 1t
looks like little thing to some men
to slight a cow because she is a
''tegious" mixer; and it may be more
convenient to leave a quart of strip
pings in the udder than to put up with
the side-stepping and tail-swinging
agitation of a nervous critter"; but
the owner of good COW might bet
ter have "hand' who will steal from
him than one who doesn't milk the
cows clean. He not only loses much
of the richest, milk-that is perhaps
the least of the objections to such
neglect-but the practice of leaving
milk in the udder has a detericrating
influence on the capacity of the COW.
The longer it goes on, the less milk
she gives. And the small yield sooy
becomes chronic.

Kapsa. Gypsum and It's value.

Many people will be surprised to
know that gypsum is found in Kansas
in large quantities. In his address be-
fore the State Board Of Agriculture
Erasmus Haworth stated that Kansas
ranks second in the Union as pro-
Queer of gypsum and the value Of its
marketed product. Kansas gypsum is
of two distinct varieties, which differ
from each other in origin and in meth
I'D of manufacture. The most abund-
ant variety is the ordinary rock gyp-
sum, which exists in broad layers, in
terstratified with limestone and shale
SO that in every respect it is gen.
uine rock. It is this form of gypsum
which is SO abundant in the vicinity
of Blue Rapids and on the south side
of the Hill river opposite Solomon. It
also occurs near the little town Of
Hope and many places south of it.
from Sumner line to the state line
and last but not least to the southwest
In Barber county. Here it occurs as
immense masses of stratif1ed rock,
measuring in some places 30 feet or
more in thickness. It also caps the
hills in the rough country to the
southwest of Medicine Lodge. This
rock gypsum in the various places
named is exceptionally pure and. con-
tains only about one or two per cent
of foreign matter. 1t is equal to any
gypsum In the world for the manufac-
ture of the highest grades Of plaster
of Paris and when properly mixed
with efficient retarders makes as high
grade cement plaster as can be found
on the markets of Europe or America.
Another variety of gypsum known In
Kansas and elsewhere is pulverlent In
form. It Is found near or at the sur
face. Of the ground in wet or marshy

Since psychologists have taught us
to look upon untreated cows milk
as fruitful source OF infection, es-
pecially dangerous to infants, 1t has.
become the universal practice among
physicians to insist upon its being ex-
posed to the prolonged influence OF
heat. e., sterilized. The too excl,l-
sive use Of milk thus prepared has
been condemned by some authorities,
80 that the question may still be re-
garded as open to discussion, says O
British exchange. To determine the
relative digestibility Of fresh and ster-
ilized milk, JENNA (La clinica medlca
1taliana) has undertaken a series Of
laboratory experiments, which show
that under the influence of pepsin and
hydrochloric acid fresh milk is more
readily digested than sterilized milk.
while the reverse takes place when
the two fluids are subjected to the
action Of pancreatin. When acted
upon by artificial gastric juice. ster-
ilized milk produces a greater guam
tity OF peptones during the first four
hours than fresh milk, but after that
period the latter proves to be the more
easily digestible. Practically the same
results were obtained on using lab
ferment, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid.
The action of labferment and pancrea-
attn was more pronounced in the case
of sterilized milk.
In a second series of researches the
author set himself the task of deter
mining the relative digestibility Of
sterilized milk, and of milk diluted
with a 10 per cent solution of sugar
of milk. In every instance the advan-
tage was on the side Of the diluted
milk. The conclusions drawn by the
author from these data are: 1. Milk
submitted to the sterilizing action OF
heat shows no impairment Of digesti-
bility, which is superior to that of
raw milk. 2. Milk that has been
sterilized and diluted with solution
of sugar of milk is more easily digest
ed than pure sterilized milk.

Judging at Kansas city Show.

4 o.
Frank D. VIM, secretary of the Ma
tional Breeders show and also Of the
organization representing Poland
Chinas. gives the following explana-
ton Of system Of judging adopted by
the managing committee on Poland
Chinas at the Kansas City show this
method to apply only of course to the
Poland China breed: The four judges
who will tie ribbons on the Polands
at the Kansas City show are T. B.
Hart of Illinois, J. M. Klever and ].
c. Hendrick Of Ohio and w. z. Swal-
low of Iowa, who was substituted for
w. H. McFadden, who could not serve
on account of his official position with
the American Poland China Record
company. These gentlemen are all
well known and have the confidence
and esteem of breeders throughout the
country, both as to their judgment
and their honor. The managing COM
mittee does not believe that any one
Of these men would let any little per-
sonal feeling interfere with their best
judgment in placing the awards,
should there be any, yet there are al
ways those exhibitors who imagine
they will not get fair deal on ac-
count of personal differences, ETC.,
and to ease the minds OF such men,
we have adopted method of judging
which will make it almost impossible
for any breeder to- be injured without
there are as many as two of the judges
prejudiced against him. Two judges
will work on each class with referee
to decide in case of a disagreement,
and one Judge will then of course be
out on each class. The judges will be
rotated, the referee changed each time
as we'll as the man who is out. 1t can
readily be seen that unless both of
the judges on a class or one of the
acting judges and the referee are dis
posed to be ptejudiced and working
against the same breeder, it will be
impossible for him to get the worst Of
it. This method Of Judging was adopt
ed for the great combined cattle shows
at Kansas City this fall and in the
opinion of the committee would be the
most satisfactory that could be used
for the Poland China hog exhibit.
am not informed as to the system that
will be employed by the other breeds.

the extra expense Of the additional
fourth judge to make it as fair and
satisfactory to all exhibitors as posi-

appreciated by the breeders and be the
