Comparative Judging is the highess
class of work which the judge or stock
will be called upon to perform. BY
way of training for this he should go
into herd or flock and pick out the
best individuals regardless OF age, type
or breed. Afterwards he should study
animals OF the same class but OF diff
ferent ages and place them in accord
with their respective merits. as must
be done-for example, in actual show
ring competitions. where animals from
6 to "a months Of age may be exhib-
tied against one another. Compare
tive judging Is the most difficult OF all
and can only be learned by constant
practice. coupled with knowledge of
external indications and what the
present development Of point may
mean six months or two years hence.
Whether an individual will finally be-
come a successful Judge of stock will
depend on his natural bent. his knowl-
edge OF the subject. and the amount of
practice he ma competent all
around judged ally be developed by
actual experieA d good deal OF It.

The soft maple has been planted az
much as, or more than, any other tree
in Oklahoma for shade, and in shelter
belts, etc., says a bulletin of the Okla
homa experiment station. II Is usu-
ally accepted as a good tree. 1t Is
fast growing tree and In many in
stances has showed remarkable ability
to live and grow during the driest
summers. 1t has, however, lost some
of its prestige during the past summer.
The trees die back to the ground very
badly If transplanted In the fall. The
weakness of the tree has caused many
failures this year. II transplanted in
the spring it is very hardy and grows
readily. but fall setting followed by a
dry season is seldom satisfactory.
The maple seems to be entirely out
classed when planted in close mixed
planting with elm and black locust. A
mixed grove on the experiment station
farm at saltwater, Oklahoma, gives a
good comparison of these three trees.
In the south ten rows of the grove
there were one hundred and nineteen
maple trees, one hundred and sixteen
elms, and fcrty-seven black locust
trees. OF this number one hundred
and two naples died during the sum-
mer OF 1901; all of the elms and black
locusts are still living. Seventy-fve
maple trees, all Of which are dead,
were attacked by fat headed borers
during the summer. Thirty-seven elms
had been attacked by borers, but not
one locust showed sign Of borers. The
drouth no doubt caused the death of
most OF the trees. The borers showed
great preference for the maple trees.
All Of the trees are Eve years old and
were set in the spring of 1898. The
naples and elms averaged about the
same size, nine feet high, last spring
and the black locusts about fifteen feet
high.

The meat inspection service Of the
national government has grown to
proportions commensurate with the
live stock industry. 1t is now main
tanned in 81 cities and at 156 abattoirs.
Nearly 100000 animals were in
spected at time Of slaughter. This is
an increase over the preceding year OF
6 cities, s abattoirs and 100000 an
imals. Although in the aggregate
large number OF carcasses were con-
demned, the percentage has been ex-
tremely small. In nearly 5.250.000 cat
tie inspected the condemned carcasses
amounted to only about one-fourth OF
per cent; in 100000 sheep 1t was
about one-tenth of / per cent, and in
"a, $50, 900 hogs it was but one-third OF
per cent. The larger part of the in
spected meat. as might be anticipated,
went into interstate commerce and was
consumed in the United States, but
there were exported under department
certificates 452,S30 pounds Of beef.
1874, 64S pounds of mutton, and 231. 144.-
93S pounds Of pork. The microscopic
inspection OF pork was maintained
during the year, but owing 10 the COM
paratively high prices in this country
there was a considerable decrease Of
exports in this line of products. but
IS, 942, 404 pounds having been certified
for countries requiring such inspec-
ton.

mentioned above. Without these two
successful farming is impossible.
Every investigation that adds new
light in respect to these Is help to all
farming operations. In some expert
ments carried on in North Dakota the
number OF colonies of ordinary bac-
terra In the first three inches of soil
was found to range from 10000 to ST.
900, and OF anaerobic bacteria from
400 to 5000. Nitrifying bacteria were
not found in bare summer fallow be-
low two feet. Some of the conclu-
sions of the experimenters follow:
The continuous growing Of wheat
or other grain, or cultivated crop,
rapidly depletes the organic matter
from the second six inches of soil. The
growing of clover and peas in a crop
rotation causes a marked increase in
the organic matter and humus in the
soil in both the first and second six
inches. Flowing under a green crop
does not produce as beneficial results
as come from blowing grass lands.
Flowing under q green crop leaves the
organic matter in mass and not uni
formly distributed throughout the soil.
After grass in crop rotation the soil
shows a large increase in amount of
organic matter. but less than two
thirds as much as is found in adjoining
fields of native prairie soil
Soils on which wheat has been
grown continuously since 1888 were
found to be in bad condition, chemical
ly and physically. They do not retain
water well in the cultivated portion,
and failed to mature crop of wheat
in the dry season of 1900. The avail
able plant food and the principal feed
ing ground OF the wheat roots seems
to be in the first eight inches of soil.
+. Newly broken soils do not
blow. The great mass Of fine
roots intertwined about the particles
of soil in the virgin prairie prevented
the soil from blowing. The same re-
suits may be attained by adopting a
system OF rotation which includes
grass. The system of agriculture most
nearly ideal for maintaining soil fer
tility would be one with two years in
grass, one year a cultivated crop. then
two years in grain crops. making a
five-years rotation"

The peach in this country has gen.
orally been very profitable crop. but
for many years it has been subject to
a number OF serious diseases. Some of
these can now be controlled, notably
"yellows" and peach-leaf curl, two of
the worst enemies of peach growers.
A few years ago a new disease APP
peared in some of the finest peach
orchards Of New York. Michigan and
other states. and this trouble has
caused growers great deal of uneasi-
ness. The Department of Agriculture
has had one of its most competent
experts engaged ON the disease, and he
believes that he has discovered the
cause. The disease In question Is
known as ''little peach" from the fact
that the fruit ripens when very small,
this becoming more pronounced each
year until the tree dies, which 1t In
variably does at the end of two or
three years. The cause of little peach"
is believed to be fungus which at
tacks the very young roots. and al
ready the matter of preventing it by
securing resistant stocks has been
taken up.

Another importation which will
probably in time prove of great value
to the southwestern part of the coun-
try is that of date palms obtained in
Africa. A number Of years ago lin
tied importation of these palms was
made from Egypt, and, while most OF
them were lost through adversely of
climate, the shipment helped to show
the possibilities of date growing In
Arizona and southern California.
Through agents Of the Department OF
Agriculture, small shipment of date
palms was secured from Algeria In
1899, and large shipment from the
same country, mostly from the borders
OF the Sahara desert, In 1900. and fully
80 per cent Of these are growing vigor-
ously. This year a collection of the
choicest varieties in Egypt has been
obtained and sent to the Southwest.
this importation being in continuation
OF the plan to obtain from every part
of the world where the date palm is
grown complete collection of the
choice varieties. The date palm Is of
special value in the hot Southwestern
country, since 1t thrives and fruits best
where the summers are long and hot.
as in Arizona and California. The
establishment Of the industry in this
section. therefore. would make 1t pos
sible to utilize much of the land there
which, though irrigable. is too alkaline
for ordinary crops. 1t is hoped, now
that large number of plants of the
choicest varieties have been imported.
that in time. this country may produce
enough dates to supply the home de-
mand and, perhaps, even some for ex
port.

4. IL sllage WHISKY /.


The following absurdity is perhaps
worthy of republication for the pur-
pose of showing how much the editors
Of city papers do not know about
farming:
People who enjoy being drunk will
usually find some way to get supply
Of intoxicants. For example: The
farmers about Corning. N. Y, pro-
hibition district. found that their
workmen would occasionally get intox-
icated without apparent access to even
hard cider. The problem, Where did
they get it?" was anxiously discussed.
Most of the farmers depend upon en-
silage for winter fodder for their stock
and as most readers know ensilage is
a compost of green vegetables. corn
stalks. vines. tops and the like fer
mented under pressure In pits or
boxes. 1t was finally discovered that
the farm hands had learned the trick
of tapping the sides of the silos and
extracting the fermented juice Of the
contents. That from the stalks Of
green corn makes vigorous spirit.
which Is said to be quite agreeable to
one whose palate is attuned to alco-
hol. but its effects are something ter
rible. A silo drunk would make one
induced by crude apple Jack seem like
an innocent frolic. 1t startles the
temperance farmers to learn that "all
unbeknownst to them" they have
been running stills from which those
for whose temporal and spiritual well
fare they consider themselves respon-
sible might draw a beverage which
bears to whisky the relation which
whisky bears to Switched" Whether
the silo would have to go is question
now under discussion. Press Notes.

Growing Bermuda ara..

One of the most valuable pasture
grasses for use in the southern states
is Bermuda grass, species of trop-
ical origin. In our latitude the grass
seeds very sparingly. and the method
of securing a field of 1t has been to
transplant roots. This method, how
ever, is SO expensive as to be almost
prohibitory. Experiments have been
made with good imported seed by the
department during the past two years
on the trial grounds at Washington.
and 1t has been found that when sown
at the rate of pounds per acre dur
ing a portion of the year in which the
ground continued moist, a good stand
from to inches high was secured in
forty-five days. The procuring OF good
germinable seed and the adaptation of
the above facts to conditions in the
south should make 1t possible to Sc
cure at a moderate price an excellent
stand of this valuable grass.
