The Cow and Her Milk.

Prof. Clinton d. Smith, after five
years investigation of the milk ques-
ton, publishes the following conclu-
sions: Il. A COW yields as rich milk
as a heifer as she will as a mature
COW. 2. The milk is as rich in the first
month of the period of lactation as it
will be later, except perhaps during the
last few weeks of the milk flow, when
the COW is rapidly drying off. 8. There
is little difference in seasons as to the
quality of the milk. While the cows are
at pasture the milk is neither richer
nor poorer, on the average, than the
milk yielded when the cows were on
winter feed. 4. The milk of a fair
sized dairy herd varies little in compo-
sition from day to day, and radical
variations in this respect should be
viewed with suspicion"

Very Intensive Forage Culture.

A report of some very intensive op.
erations in agriculture comes from San
Bernardo, in Spain, relative to the
production of maize, barley and oats
for forage. The crop was grown un-
der irrigation on a field of about seven
and half acres. The field had re-
ceived 10000 pounds of barnyard
manure, 1,465 pounds of Thomas Stag,
LOO pounds Of nitrate of Soda and 3T4
pounds of superphosphate per hectare
(about two and a half acres). The
corn grew to an average height of over
13 feet and yielded about 40 tons of
forage per acre during favorable sea-
son. The corn was sown early in April
and cut about August list. The second
crop of corn was then grown and har-
vested by November 1st. Following
this, barley or oats was sown, which
was cut for green forage the following
spring, before the preparation OF the
land for the first corn crop.

The question OF root tubercles on
leSuminous plants is one that has com
bined with It several other questions.
One of the most important of these
questions is whether or not plants can
draw food from the depths Of the soil.
IL has generally been held by invIs-
tigators that the deep roofing legumes
draw their food largely from far below
the surface layers of soil. More recent
ly good many thinkers on these sub
jects have expressed the belief that
the lower roots do nothing but take up
water and that the food supplies are
drawn from the surface soil. Some
experiments with alfalfa last year in
Italy seem to initiate against this
idea. The result of these experiments
showed that the alfalfa roots were
abundantly provided with root tu-
bercles the first year of cultivation.
Very few were found on the roots of
two-year-old plants, and none at ali
on three-year-old plants. The expert
menters infer that the plant makes
use of atmospheric nitrogen only dur
ing its first years growth, or until
the roots have obtained sufficient
length to obtain the necessary nj
trogenous food materials from the
deeper soil

The Forbidden Land


Adventures in Tibet" written by
William Carey and published by the
United States Society of Christian En-
deavor, is the latest work dealing with
the most mysterious of all lands. 1t
Is very interesting and instructive and
we'll illustrated with many photo
graphs.
Mr.. Carey himself spent many
months il Tibet gathering information.
He also describes the astonishing jour
ney through the country made by Miss
Annie r. Taylor with nothing but ma
tive servants. She passed within three
days of Lhasa, the forbidden city, and
narrowly escaped with her life.
The lamas or monks rule Tibet, says
Mr.. Carey A hundred. or a thousand,
or even FIVE thousand Of them, may be
herdnd together, II not exactly under
one roof, yet in one great building,
whose ramifications root themselves
like a fortress in the rocks. and whose
walls and windows frown upon the sur
rounding fields.

The municipality of Vienna has un-
der consideration a project for the dis
posal and utilization of the sewage of
the city which at present is discharged
into the Danube. In England so-called
sewage farms are now quite common
in connection with the smaller cities,
and the plan has been adopted by both
Berlin and Paris, but to all of the sys-
tens in use there is more or less objec-
ton, and even With the best of them
there is much room for improvement.
The scheme under consideration in
Vienna consists in the application of
a method developed by Herr Noebel of
Posen, by which the liquid part of the
sewage will be utilized for the double
purpose of irrigation and enrichment.
1t is intended to convey the sewage In
pipes TO an extensive plain of poor land
which suffers from lack of water, due
to inadequate rainfall, over which it is
not to be carried in trenches, but the
surface of the land is to be irrigated
by sprlnkling the sewage water over
it. 1t is said that by this plan the land
will not be over-saturated, as it fire.
quently is on the sewage farms at Ber-
lin and Paris. The system is stated to
have been already in use at Posen with
satisfactory results.
