From Farmers Review: In reply
to yours will say that it would be i'm
possible to give you any idea in the
way of figures as to what extent the
different varieties of fruit in Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan are disposed Of
in the dried form, but as guess, we
should say that perhaps % per cent OF
the green fruits are either dried or
canned. The largest quantity of dried
fruit in the way of evaporated rasp-
berries and apples comes from New
York state. There are also a good
many berries and apples evaporated in
Michigan, and a good many apples
evaporated and sun dried in Indiana
and Illinois. The fruit that is dried
and canned is not first quality, it being
usually marketed green, and the Sec
ond and third quality are canned and
dried. This refers to apples more than
berries, as berries, that is strawberries,
raspberries and blackberries must be
of good quality to 60 into the can, al
though of course, they are not selected
as closely as they would be If they
were put on the market in the green
state, and take for instance, apples,
if they could not dry and can this
quality of apples referred to above,
they would probably have to throw
them away, as they could not be put
on the market green.-Miller & Davis

Bulk in Swine Food.

Swine are by nature omnivorous
feeders. They eat flesh, heritage, ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food in
their natural state has good deal OF
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful-
ness of this fact. The salvation of
pigs kept in confinement has been the
general impression that swill was pre-
eminently hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ra-
ton. The pig has to large extent
been the victim Of wrong system or
feeding. He has been too often con-
fined in a small space and fed a con-
densed ration. AS a result disease
and death have cut short the profits Of
the pig raisers. The feeding Of a ra-
ton of cereals is not in keeping with
the natural requirements of the porcine
money-maker. 1t is not difficult mat
ter for the swine feeder to increase
greatly the bulk of food fed. Silage,
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. If the farmer have not these,
he can feed clover hay. This should
be cut in a feed-cutter and soaked by
pouring boiling water over it. To this
may be added the meal or other con-
centrate that is to be fed.

Treatment of Seed Data,

From Farmers Review: Nothing
of greater interest AID more import
ance occurs to me at present than
treatment OF seed oa,, to destroy
smut" We have been thoroughly sue
cessful with the following-much cas-
Ter and pleasanter than the soaking
method and seeding with wet grain:
Mix one ounce of formalin with one
gallon Of water for every six bushels
Of oats. Spread the oats about three
inches thick and apply the liquid with
a sprinkling can as evenly as practi-
cable, and stir thoroughly; then
shovel into a snug elongated heap
about three feet deep along the center,
and cover with the oat sacks turned
and shaken, and light blanket to
complete If needed, and leave twenty
four to forty-eight hours. Then re-
shovel and heap and cover for an
other day or two, when the moisture
applied will be diffused through the
mass and evaporated, so as not to be
perceptible. The grain may then be
sacked or stored ready for use when
wanted.-P. F. Nye.

(fruit) are in good condition, ex-
cept the peach. and these are not In
jured, except in the southwestern part
of the state, where tender varieties
have had their flower buds killed and
some injury has been done to the
hardy sorts in many townships.
Benjamin Buchanan. Central ILL
nois: The prospects for peaches are
gone. Very few strawberry plants are
left. Other small fruits promise an
average crop. The same may be said
Of apples, pears, cherries and grapes.
Calculations on crops OF apples, pears,
cherries and grapes at this time OF
year usually do not amount to much,
for the critical time comes later, when
spring frosts, rains in blooming time,
insects and fungi get in their work.
Prof. Chas. A. Keffer. Tennessee:
The freeze OF two weeks ago injured
the peach buds very much in this VI
cinity. Fully 80 per cent were killed.
Pears also were injured, but not Sc
riously. Japanese plums suffered less
than peaches, but seriously. / have
no returns from other parts OF the
state, but as the freeze was general, l
think the injury widespread.
Prof. H. j. Waters, Missouri: Pros
pect for apples good, except on trees
that bore a heavy crop last year.
Plums, cherries, pears, splendid pros
pect. Peach fruit buds were killed in
nearly all parts Of the state by severe
cold in December In a few specially
favored localities in the Ozarks, 1t is
estimated that there are sufficient live
buds to produce almost a full crop.
In one or two Of these localities some
Of the largest commercial peach or
chards of the state are located.

Weak Lambs.

We have recently received several
complaints from shepherds to the eff
feet that their lambs come weak, sea-
son after season, and are again show
Ing similar and even worse symptoms
this year. They say that the lambs
can scarcely stand when born, and
even although they try to suck II
seems a difficult undertaking and they
fail to derive strength from the nour-
ishment taken. Invariably Is added
the fact that the ewes have been fed
apparently well upon coarse folders,
such as clover hay, timothy hay, corn
fodder, wheat or oat straw. This is
one Of the explanations of the trouble.
1t has been noticed that unless ewes
when pregnant are fed additional con-
centrates such as bran, crushed oats,
oil meal or oil cake they tend to
become constipared and in this condi-
ton there Is either trouble at lambing
time or weakness among the lambs.
The weakness Is due to the fact that
the ewes merely manage to derive per-
sonal nourishment from the food given
but an insufficiency Of surplus from
which to build up strong, we'll
formed foetus. It is also reported IN
the same connection that many OF the
lambs come into the world showing
engagements of the glands of the
throat. The engagements are Of thu
thyroid glands and constitute "goitre,'
a trouble that always indicates debil-
ity and lack of uterine nourishment.
1t also bespeaks a lack Of mineral mat
tiers in the food of the ewes and In
the milk first furnished-a lack OF
such salts as lime and phosphate
minerals which are always freely i'm
parted to the blood circulation In bran
and other grain foods Of the nitrog-
enous class. In addition to the ag-
gravating causes of weakness In
lambs may be mentioned in-and-in
breeding, or too seldom changes OF
breeding stock. The ram is used year
after year, and at last there Is too
close connection in mating, with the
result of loss OF vitality, constitution
and strength of bone. To prevent
weak lambs from troubling in the
flock the following measures conse-
quently become necessary: Use OF
new rams of strong constitution and,
il possible, from a higher altitude;
and generous feeding Of concentrates
to ewes before and after service and
during pregnancy.

Potato Growing.

Professor c. d. Woods, director OF
the Maine Experiment Station. In his
talk to Wisconsin farmers at the re-
cent convention at Oconomowoc. laid
special stress on the great value OF
the potato crop. 1t is valuable because
It does not exhaust land as do some
other crops. Its starch is made out OF
carbon, and this has been gathered
from the air by means of the leaves
So 1t does not come out Of the ground
at all. The man that grows potatoes
is not taking from the soil a great
mass of fertilizer that is to be sent
away never to return. The tops are
not sold off, but are permitted to lie
on the ground or in the ground and
decay.
There Is no best way of growing
potatoes. Place and circumstances
must dictate methods. To grow po-
tatoes successfully man must be sur
fciently intelligent to understand the
soil and other conditions on his own
farm. No man can afford to follow the
metuOuS VI puDllC opcdhCio VI hio
neighbors without first finding out
whether they apply to his case. The
selection of seed is important, because
we do not plant the seeds but cuttings
from the tubers. The tubers from
which the cuttings are to be made
should be ripe and should have been
kept over winter in temperature OF
from 33 to 40 degrees. 1t is, however,
a mistake to select seed potatoes from
those that have lain in the ground
too long. The potatoes for this pur'
pose should be dug while the tops are
still green, so much so indeed that the
potatoes on being cooked will be what
we call "watery." In the planting, po-
tatoes should be put in deeper in clay
than in sandy land. This may appear
unreasonable, but If the potatoes are
planted near the surface in clay land,
they will, as they grow, cause the clay
to split open and this will let in the
sun. The result is a sun-burned po-
tato, which is of no value for eating.

Outlook for Fruit.

]. w. Stanton, Southern Illinois:
Tree fruits promise good crops on
trees that were not full last year.
Prof. F. A. Waugh, Vermont: The
general outlook for fruits was never
better at this time Of year than 1t Is
now.
O. M. Lord, Minnesota: Plenty OF
fruit buds, and they are entirely un-
hurt. Season opens ten days earlier
than usual.
E. A. Riehl, Southern Illinois: So
far as can be seen now all fruits ex-
cept peaches are in good condition and
may give a good crop, If favorable
conditions are maintained throughout
the season.
Geo. N. Parker, Eastern Illinois: The
present outlook for apples is good.
The peach crop will be very short. We
will have over 10000 barrels of apples
for sale in this county (Crawford)
next fall, If the present outlook is veri-
fed.
Prof. J. Troop, Indiana: The outlook
for peaches is bad. The buds are pref
ty generally killed. Other kinds seem
to be in fairly good condition. 1 do
not look for heavy apple crop. ow-

the western part of the state, but I
think ia true of most of the fruit
growing sections.

Press Bulletin 40, New Hampshire
Station: A curious sign of the preJu-
dice of fertilizer buyers for a name
was shown by the brands put on our
market by one large company THIS
corporation had in our state fourteen
different brands guaranteed to contain
per cent Of nitrogen, 8 per cent OF
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
cent of potash, while ten more OF lts
brands differed from the above lot by
each having a guarantee of Id per
cent of potash instead of per cent.
In other words, this company had
twenty-four brands to represent only
two different formulas, because fertll-
izers are bought by name instead OF by
composition.
The last census states the value OF
fertilizers bought in New Hampshire
in 1900 to have been $36S,0OO, making
an average for each farm OF $l2.55.
The most common fertilizers sold in
the state were those costing $50 per
ton. For the average sum per farm
there was purchased of such mixed
fertilizer 1877 pounds, containing II
pounds of nitrogen, 67 of available
phosphoric acid and rs Of potash, or a
total of LOG pounds Of plant food. By
buying the highest grade Of chemicals,
including nitrate Of soda, dried blood,
acid phosphate and sulphate of potash,
and paying cash, $12.55 could have pur-
chased 800 pounds of chemicals con-
tanning 20 pounds Of nitrogen, Is Of
available phosphoric acid and 80 pot
ash, total of 1853 pounds of plant
food, or one and one-half times as
much as by following the usual method
of buying. Long credit and commits
sions to agents make fertilizers costly
In the past year the trade in ashes
has taken up an inferior grade, which
is sometimes sold under the name Of
lime-kiln or lime ashes. They contain
much less soluble potash than good
hard wood ashes and their value Is
problematical on that account because
the availability of insoluble potash is
unknown.

 They commenced the serious investi- gation of the specific Nov. l5, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got physicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with physi- sicians for judges. Up to Aug. 9, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either we'll or progressing favor ably.
 There being but thirteen per cent of failures. the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceed ings of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will be mailed free on application. Address John J.
