ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION.
The Greatest Distance to Which II
MAY Be Sent at Present.

The statement is made by Alton d.
Adams. on THE Physical Limits of
Electric Power Transmission" that
electrical energy may be transmitted
around the world If the live voltage is
unlimited. This follows from the law
that given power may be transmitted
to any distance with constant efiici-
ency and a fixed weight of conductors,
provided the voltage Is increased di-
rectly with the distance" Unfortu-
nately, the physical conditions Of pres
ent known insulating devices do not
permit of such Utopian transmission.
Distances of $50 miles are now prac-
tically spanned by power transmission
circuits at from 10000 to $4,000 volts.
This. however. represents the limit of
present construction. One of the next
steps will be the employment Of an
individual pole line for each wire of a
transmitting circuit, as at voltage ex-
ceeding the present. which may easily
bc attained by known methods, the
sparkling between wires located on the
same pole, even though spaced seven
or eight feet apart, would be prohibi-
tive.

Winter Care Of Poultry.

II is not be expected that a busy
farmer can bjstow the same amount of
care and attention on his poultry as
the poultryman who depends on his
fowls for n living, but nevertheless
there isn't anything on the farm that
pays better than a flock OF properly
housed and well cared for fowls. Ex-
pensive poultry houses are not neccs-
sary, but they must be free from damp
ness and draughts. Fowls will do
much better In cold house that Is
dry and clean than in one that is damp
and Ill smelling. Proper feeding Is
of the most Importance, and now that
eggs are high and likely to remain so
until spring 1t will pay any one to give
this matter close attention. In the
first place, especially at this season of
the year when the hens are moulting,
there must be an abundance and vari-
city of feed. Wheat Is the best egg
producing food that can be given; but
II doesn't pay to feed It economically
and partly satisfy the appetite of the
fowls, and thus obtain only few eggs,
NiiiCu VIII oCufCtiy pay iOI tue WHtdl,
hut feed all they will eat, and the re-
suit will be an abundance of eggs that
will pay for the wheat and a good
uproft besides. OF course some kind
of green stun is necessary-a patch of
kale planted in the early fall, a patch
Of rye or barley, raw apples, beets
and potatoes will furnish this, al
though II is better to boil the potatoes
and thicken them with bran or mid
dlings. adding n small amount of red
pepper. Mash is excellent for laying
hens, but II Injuries the fertility OF
the egg. being too stimulating. Oys-
ter shells help wonderfully and should
be kept before the fowls at all times,
even II one has to send away for them
and pay the freight. They contain 96
percent of carbonate of lime, and when
they are fed much less other food Is
required to furnish the material for
egg shells. Dispose of all the hens
over two years old and the surplus
cockerels, and by giving the pullets ex-
ira care to induce early laying, we
should be able to get a good supply
of eggs through the winter; but there
is little profit in feeding old hens that
won't begin laying until spring.-Ella

sprsyinc 10 XIII chariock.

In recent experiment made in
England in spraying with sulphate of
copper on field of 12 acres of grain,
the water for spraying was brought
nearly a mile to the field, requiring
two horses and a man. The machine
required one horse, n man and a boy.
Under these conditions the cost of Ia
Dor was reckoned at 60 cents per
acre, while the sulphate cost eight
cents a pound. and 12 pounds were
used to ten gallons of water, or 100
pounds. Fifty gallons we're used per
acre, making the total cost OF the
spraying S1.36 per acre. The field was
badly infested with charlock, some of
which was already in flower or seed.
There were also some thistles. As a
result, 90 percent of those which had
not reached the towering stage were
destroyed. and so TO 10 percent of
those that were in full flower. Most
of the thistles were also destroyed
and possibly much insect life. The
application was made about two weeks
too late for obtaining the best re-
suits, as 1t should have been done
when the charlock had made its first
rough leaves. The oats may have been
injured some, as they were so large
that they had very broad leaves. II
the work had been done two weeks
earlier this would have been avoided,
and the charlock would have been
more thoroughly killed. Where II
was so large the spray failed to reach
some of the lower leaves and did not
kill the whole plant.

Tho siio for the sheep Farm.

The use of ensilage for winter feed
ing of sheep is becoming more and
more the practice among successful
shepherds, and many who have used 1t
claim that 1t is just as valuable for
sheep as for dairy cows. II is in all
probability the cheapest food that we
can give to fattening wethers or breed
ing ewes. The one important point
about 1t for ewes is that 1t must be
absolutely free from all taint. If
spoiled in the least bit the ewes re-
fuse 1t. II properly cured and sweet
they will eat II as eagerly as they will
fresh grass. Their enjoyment OF it is
no more noticeable than their apar.
ent nourishment from its use. Some
times at first the ewes will not take
kindly to ensilage, but in a short time
they can be induced to eat it. Then
they acquire a taste for 1t, and there
is no further trouble.
Other food should be given to weth-
ers fattening for market, and when a
proper mixture of ensilage, corn fodder
and little whole grain is fed them
daily, they do better than II kept on
grain alone. One may arrange this
mixture good deal according to the
amount Of each on hand, but the en-
silage should occupy a prominent part
in the ration.
High grade sheep can be safely fed
ensilage as well as the common stock,
but 1t should not be given In great
quantities. especially at first. Two or
three pounds Of cnsilage day should
suffice, and in with 1t there should be
mixed about a pound Of hay. II grain
Is also to be fed bran and oats make
the best mixture. These given with
hay and ensilage make . pretty com.

In some of the outlying towns dealers

Top,lressiuCs.

The general principle of topdressings
Is to supply certain elements of plant
food which have been exhausted by
continued cropping Of the soil Crops
contain more of one ingredient of plant
food than II the others, for example,
and cropping year after year may re-
suit in exhaustng the soil OF some
one element of plant food though the
other two are present in ample quanti'
ties. II must be understood that all
three of the plant-food ingredients
nitrogen. potash and phosphoric acid
are equally necessary. and that a
shortage of any one will lessen the
crop to the possible development of
that element most lacking. For exam
pie, II there is nitrogen and phosphates
for 100 bushels of corn per acre, but
only enough potash for 20 bushels, &c
bushels or less will be made. The plant
food elements cannot take each others
places in crop making.
Now, II by a certain system of crop
ping, the tendency is to remove more
of one ingredient than of the others
1t appears plain at once that topdress-
ings of the element most In demand
are what Is needed to keep up acre
yields. For example, suppose potatoes
are grown year after year on the same
soil, and good crops are realized. say
200 bushels per acre. The crop removes
each year in tubers 36 pounds of nitro
gen, 76 pounds of potash and eight
lr ~ ,hAe nh anid hn m.
ure applied each year amounts to
80 pounds of nitrogen, so pounds OF
potash and 40 pounds of phosphoric
acid. Should all this plant food prove
available, the fertility of the soil would
be maintained, but, as a matter OF
fact, not more than half of the plant
food In such manures is actually real
lied in crops. Hence we have by the
above system realized each year some
40 pounds of nitrogen, 40 pounds OF
potash and 20 pounds OF phosphoric
acid; ample supplies of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, but an annual short
age Of 36 pounds of actual potash. II
this shortage is continued year after
year, 1t soon becomes serious matter,

potash applied as a topdressing.
Potash in this case is only used to
illustrate. The same conditions may
apply to other elements. 1t is simply
matter of taking into consideration
the actual plant food contained in va
rious crops. the plant food contained
in the manure or fertilizer used, and
from this data figure out the element
or elements of plant food most likely
to become deficient after years of con.
tinuous cropping. There is nothing diff
| ficult in figuring out such results. The
experiment stations will supply analy.
ses of various crops, fertilizers and

matter Of the plant-food balance of the
farm should prove very interesting
winter evening study. In fact, In no
other way can topdressings be pro
perly adjusted. 1t may be that some
soils are rich in certain elements OF
plant food, and topdressings are there
