Soil Rauovafora.

The opinion seems to be general
among farmers that the only crops
which can be used to improve the soil
are the legumes which gather carbon
nitrogen from the air and retain it, SO
that when plowed under the nitrogen
Is given to the soil. Another use these
legumes have is that they supply
humus to the soil, which often is much
needed. There is another class, Of
which rape is a member, which when
plowed under has the power to absorb
the phosphoric acid which lies inert
when other plants are grown, and
when such crops are plowed under
they return this phosphoric acid to the
soil for the use of the next plant placed
thereon, for once being made active it
does not again become inert. COw-hOrn
turnips are of this class, and recent ex-
periments have proved their wonderful
value as soil renovators. The long
roots force themselves deep into the
subsOil, forcing that soil to give up its
plant food. Any crop which will bring
into play any of the plant foods that
lie inert when other crops are grown
will do vast deal to add to the fertil-
ity of the soil. All farms will not grow
crimson clover, but with COW peas, vel
vet bean and Canada field peas at hand
one may readily obtain a legume that
can be grown and thus get nitrogen
cheaply, then if rape and other mem
bers of the turnip family will wake
up the phOSphoric acid in the soil and
make it available, the question of soil
fertility comes pretty near being
solved.

is held strictly confidential, and in no case
will any one be published except by the ex-
press wish of the patient herself.
These cases are treated with the same care
and fidelity as the private patients of G reg

The Pan-Alnerican managers have ar.
ranged with Mr. Pain TO produce an
elaborate carnival on the lake in the
Exposition Grounds every Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evening during
August and probably September as
well. The carnival will consist of a
brilliant fireworks exhibition conclud-
ing with q bombardment of the forts at
Taku and will include a ballet and
water pantomime and mid-air acrobatic
performances. all brilliantly illumin-

Washing Eggs.

There has been considerable COM
plant i'll the large markets, both East
and West, about some method used by
shippers in removing the soil from
eggs. They are not washed with water,
but with some substance that whitens
them, but which also closes the pores
of the shell and causes the egg to spoil
quickly. Poultrymen should avoid
using anything of this nature. If the
eggs are so badly soiled tina THEY need
washing, they should he kept at home
and not sent to city market. Any
ordinary soil may be readily removed
by gently rubbing the Spot with a soft
cloth. In this way the bloom on the
shell is not removed as it is by wash
ing.

Weighing Milk,

After milking each cow weigh the
milk, keep a record of it, and in a
month one will be surprised to see how
great the difference in the weight of
the milk from the several COWS. In
many cases it will be found that the
supposed prize mixer of the herd is
one of the poorest cows in the lot. This
test has proved to more than one dairy
man that he had two or three cows out
of a dozen that were eating up the
profits of the dairy, and that if he were
rid of these cows his dairy would pay
a profit. Spring scales can be bought
for about two dollars and will pay for
themselves in a month.

Pasture Lands.

When l came out West, more than a
quarter of a century ago, writes a cor
respondent of the Prairie Farmer, it did
not take many years to find out that it
was more profitable to pasture the
grass around me than to burn it in the
fall. This paSturing of the grass was
done so successfully that none was left
to burn or to pasture. Finally 1 was
compelled to break up the land and
farm it. l raised large crops of small
grain, but soon saw that it was a
mOney-losing game and tried to seed
my land back to grass. | found it very
difficult to get tame pastures to stick
and if by accident l got a good stand
of timothy or clover the latter would
not last last and the former after good
crop or two would get what l called sod
bound and would not produce a load of
hay to the acre. | know now why the
timothy did no good after a year or
two. 1t was because we pastured it to
the roots, thinking it economical to let
the stock eat the last spear of grass
that showed up in the fall. Land hav-
ing by that time advanced in price.
could not afford to own pastures of that
kind, and so | overstocked it to make
both ends meet. l made up my mind
to own less and better stock, and this
change in no time made a great i'm
prOvement in my pastures. l soon saw
that growth of grass covered the pas
tIlrneS in dry weather when all the
range in short pastures was burned.

General Debility in Chicks.

One of the main causes Of general de-
bility among young chicks is over
crowding them in the coops by either
having the coops too small or giving
the old hen more chicks than she can
properly cover or by permitting her to
take them TO a nest of some kind to
cover. The coops for chicks should be
roomy and clean, with perhaps some
litter on the boards or ground, but the
nest box filed with hay or straw has
no place in the coop. Another cause of
debility is permitting the old hen a free
range with her chicks when they are
very young; there are always a few
chicks in a clutch that, while perfect
ly well, are not very strong and are IN
able TO keep up with the pace set by the
old hen. For at least two weeks the old
hen should be kept confined and not
permitted to run with the chicks unless
the space given them is very small. If
any of the little chicks show decidedly
that they are weaklings it will be best
to kill them at once

Wide Orchard Rows.

There has recently been considerable
agitation over the question of whether
fruit trees, mainly apples, should be
planted in wide or narrow rows. There
are many growers who have worked on
the wide row plan, that is, the wide
row running east and west of the or
chard, and found it most desirable.
There are several reasons why this
method of planting is desirable, but the
main one is that planted in this way
the trees have more sunlight when they
reach large SIZE and sunlight means an
increased crop and better one. AS a
rule apple trees are set much farther
apart than other fruit trees because of
their large size at maturity, yet there is
no doubt that the wide-row plan is as
desirable with apple as with other
trees. On the wide-row plan pear trees,
! for example, are set sixteen by twenty
eight feet, the wide rows running east
and west

Rations for Dairy Cow.

Prof. T. L. Hacker, of the Minnesota
experiment station, after nine years
experience gives the following as to
the best ration for dairy cows: Ensi-
lage is the foundation feed used and
the grain feed consists of five parts
bran, five parts cOrnmeal and two parts
of new process gluten meal, which con-
tains 81 per cent protein, and the ra-
tons are from five pounds to nine
pounds of this mixture, according to
the amount of milk given. 1t generally
takes three pounds of ensilage and half
pound corn fodder for every pound of
grain feed. If a cows flow of milk
drops off for some cause or other, he
increases it by feeding roots besides
the grain for a time and then holds it
by grain alone. incidentally he men
toned a COW which failed to breed for
four years which gave 800 pounds of
butter fat the fourth year and seems
to intend to keep up that gait.

Growing Field Corn.

Many q farmer has been saying that
there was no profit in growing corn i'm
New England, when Western corn
could be bought at the market price of
several years past. but when they find
that a dry season in the West has in
creased the price ten cents a bushel,
and may add ten more before the sea-
son is over, they rather envy the man
who has a field that will fill the old
corn crib and give a good stack of corn
Stoyer TO save the hay next winter.
He, at least, can afford to contribute
something to the Kansas sufferers who
have found the corn crop a failure this
year. But we hope the man who has
corn to buy will not be too haSty in
deciding to use less of it because of the
advance in price. If it is loss to buy
corn instead of growing it, it may be
a greater loss to reduce the amount fed
to fattening stock, mich COWS, swine or
poultry. If satisfied that it pait to feed
it at he old price, keep on as before
and hope for better price for the
products-New England Homestead.
