twice the amount consumed in Febru-
airy. The figures are interesting as
showing the rel&tive amounts con-
sumed, which will probably be found
to correspond with, the milk supply of
all Of our large cities. The very large
amount used in July is due to the great
demand for ices of various kinds and
to some extent to the more rapid
spelling OF milk in summer time.

Losing Humus and Fertflitv.

Growing wheat continuously on land
depletes the nitrogen and humus in it
in addition to what is taken up by
the crops themselves. Just how this
depletion takes place we do not know,
but it does take place to a. surprising
degree: This fact largely accounts fol-
the rapid deterioration of lands de.
voted exclusively to wheat growing
and to summer fallow. This latter
practice, though hoary in age, is 6
greater Waster of nitrogen and Of hu.
mus than is even wheat growing. Al
st. Anthony's Park, Minnesota, pla1
OF ground that was used in the grow.
ing of wheat continuously for eight
years lost 1,700 pounds of nitrogen
Of this only 800 pounds was taken u1
by the wheat crop Four times a.
much nitrogen was lost by soil and all
as was used by the wheat. Thai
meant loss of 1,400 pounds, which
was more than one-fifth of all the nj
trogen in the soil at the time the wheat
was first grown. What then would BIZ
the result in five times as many years
forty years? The land would Ger.
tainly become useless for the growing
OF wheat and would reach (. condition
in which the recovery of it's nitrogen
would be extremely difficult. In adj
dition to the loss of nitrogen there
was yearly loss of 1000 pounds o.
humus, through chemical action.

some Experiments with Wheat.


At the Tennessee Experiment sta

ments with winter wheat after bare
talloW show that the cost of the in
crease per bushel was 10 cents, with
25O pounds of acid phosphate per acre
In two applications, &c cents with ten
tons of barnyard manure applied in
1900 and tons in 1901, and 90 cents
with an application of SO bushels of
lime in 1900; while accompanied by a
crop Of cowpeas plowed under, so
bushels of lime applied in 1900 reduced
the cost Of increased yield per bushel
TO Ii. cents, $50 pounds of basic Stag to
IL cents, and the same amount of Ten
nessee and South Carolina acid phos-
pilates to 10 and 20 cents Where, bare
[allow was followed for two years the
cost OF the increase with these phos-
pilates was. 1879 and "a cents per
oushel, respectively. The phosphates
gave good results in all cases, but the

Spring Care Of Ewes.

From Farmers Review: have
been trying to find time to write you
an article on spring care of sheep for
a long time, but I have never found
that time and spring is right on us
and l will have to give you just few
points. Plenty of good feed and exer-
else with protection from bad storms
bring sheep through the winter in
good condition, and that is the proper
preparation to a successful crop of
lambs. Give the ewes the right kind
of a chance and they will do their
part. Do not stop the dry feed too
soon, for it will be some time before
the grass has sufficient nutriment in
1t to keep the sheep healthy and
strong. Many f1ockmasters think that
sheep must necessarily 60 back in con-
d1tlon for some time after grass comes
but not so if the dry feed is not
stopped too SOON No pasture field is
complete without good-sized rape
patch IN it, we'll MANFRED ever; other
year, and temporary fence around
IL so that the cheep can not get at it
until the middle of June. Plow the
ground and SOW rape as soon as. warm
weather comes, so that oats could be
sowed. Sheep can never do their best
unless a constant supply of salt and
pure water is afforded them. Shear
early, but keep them out of cold
spring rains afterwarG. Watch the
ewes closely at lambing time; it will
pay, for many lamb and often eve
is ssved.-Max Chapman, Union Coul-
ty Ohio.

Slow Spread OF Dairy Kuowle ,}re.

In reading the foreign exchanges
one is struck with the slow spread OF
dairy knowledge. We have been max
ing silage in this country for more
than twenty-five years. In Victoria,
Australia, silage has been made by
the leading dairymen for more than
twenty years. One of the best OF
them has made 200 tons every winter
and has wintered 100 COWS on it, and
he has done it for twenty years with
out failure. Yet to-day the New Zea-
land papers are urging their readers
to investigate the silage question and
are telling their readers that they are
twenty years behind the times. They
are proposing that the government call
conference, give the farmers free
passes on the railroads to attend it
and import for speakers dairymen> in
Australia or other parts that have
made silage successfully. But the New
Zealanders are not the only people
that are behind in their appreciation
Of the silO. In the great state of Hi
nois there are few silos despite the
fact that just across. the border in
Wisconsin are whole counties dotted
over with silos, and where the money
returns have been very great and the
increase of wealth due to the si1os
enormous.

Worms In Turkeve.

From the Farmers Review: I have
written to several agricultural and
poultry papers asking for information
In regard to intestinal worms in tur-
keys. In every instance have had
a courteous reply, but almost devoid
of practical points Last summer l
lost half Of flock of 80 young turkeys
from three to five months old from
Intestinal worms. BY giving areca
nut l managed to save the rest, but
they were so stunted that they were
small at maturity and did not fatten
readily. They had the run of a farm
of 240 acres. My turkeys this year
will of necessity have the same runs
Will you please answer the following
questions by number, as all to whom
I have written answer only one:
l. Do you know OF any powder on
the market Except Blakes which was
not effectuaD which may be fed to two
weeks old turkeys as a preventive:
2. Does areca nut stunt the growth
Please do not recommend turpentine
for they will neither drink the water
nor eat more than one mouthful OF
food containing it. The treatment rec
commended in reply to my last letter
required the dosing individually OF
the entire flock, four days in the week
occasionally" I have studied govern
ment bulletins, poultry books, and ev-
erything I can find, and as all are
agreed that the worm eggs live from
year to year in the ground, and none
give remedy simply enough admin
istered to be practical, I am almost in
despair of raising any turkeys here
after.-L. L. Phelps.
We urge our readers that have haG
experience with the above mentioned
trouble to send in their suggestions
The case is a difficult one, and the
usual remedies seem to be ineffective

Wild onions are. in many places a
nuisance to dairymen, especially where
the dairymen are engaged in supplying
milk, butter or cream to an exacting
market. The onions are among the
first plants to make a good growth in
the spring, and hence are eaten with
the other heritage. 1t is difficult, if
not impossible, to take the odor out
Of milk by aeration, though this odor
may be lessened by that process. Once
established wild onions are difficult to
eradicate, but eradicated they must be
if their odor is to be kept out CT the
milk. In blowing up field where tne
onions are numerous the blowing
should be deep and the sod turned
completely over. =

Home Grown Glover Seed Best,

Owing to controversy in Europe
regarding the relative value of Amer.
lean and European clover seed, the
Department OF Agriculture has under.
taken some comparative experiments
the initial series Of which was con.
Quoted at Washington. Many samples
of clover seed of known origin from thu
different countries of Europe and from
different parts of the United States
and Canada We're grown under like
conditions. Cuttings of hay were made
at suitable intervals, the product Of
each plat being carefully weighed
These experiments, which have now
been under way for two years, show
conclusively that under the conditions
existing here the European red clover
is decidedly inferior in productiveness
to the American. Apparently the
American strain is better adapted tc
the conditions of bright sunshine, pc.
riodic heat, and dryness that exist
here. For the purposes of our farm.
ers, therefore, decision of the ques.
ton whether to use American or i'm.
ported seed is easily reached. During
the past year series Of supplementary
experiments has been started at typi.
cal selected areas in different parts
of the United States to see whether
these results hold in the principal
clover growing states.
