Did N. shark Eat a Cow?

In the stomach OF a shark recently
caught at Lukoyo were found, among
other things. II is said. a pair OF trou-
sers, a COW bell and a shoe. Probably
any one who should hold that these ex.
hibits are prima facie that this shark
at least swallowed a man would re.
ceive the rejoinder from our expert
aquarium friends. who assert that
there is no such thing as a man-eating
shark, that they prove Just as much
that the aforesaid shark would, could
or dM swallow a COW. for certainly. wd
can hear them argue. 1t is as reason
able to claim thai This fish did mo-
swallow the sow bell without swallow
ing a COW, as that in swallowing a pair
of trousers and an old shoe 1t neces
sarily must have swallowed a man OF
two. too.

Rcstoring Loaf fertlI ".

From Farmers Review: A question
has been asked as to the quickest
method of restoring fertility to an
exhausted soil. The answer will de-
pend on the kind Of a soil and what 1t
lacks. Most exhausted soils are such
because they lack humus than
anything else. This exhaustion OF hui
mus has been caused by long and
improper cropping. What is the best
method depends on circumstances.
Barnyard manure, being a complete
fertilizer ind furnishing a large
amount of mature vegetable matter.
will give humus after II is decayed.
II is therefore a good thing to apply.
the only drawback being that 1t some
times cannot be procured in necessary
quantities.
The sowing Of COW peas Is a good
and cheap method for some soils. II
the soils are in localities where COW
peas will grow. Bone meal, phosphate
and nitrate OF soda are also good
fertilizers on some soils for some crops.

Notes on Iowa Experiments.

At the Iowa Agricultural College, 10
Gated at Ames, Iowa, there have been
carried on for a number OF years In
teresting experiments with field crops.
One cannot help wondering what would
result II the common farmers OF the
country went TO work in as syste-
matte a manner as do the men at these
colleges. The volume Of agricultural
products turned out would be immense
ly Increased.
About 90 varieties Of corn were tried
in 1898 and In 1899. In 1900 the nine
teen best varieties were selected for
field work. Five of the best varieties
yielded from 900 to 1908 bushels per
acre. while the poorest OF them yield
&c 52.5 bushels per acre. Yet this lat
ter yield is far ahead OF the average
yield of corn in the United States or
in Iowa. 1t is interesting in this con
nection to note the annual yields OF
corn in bushels in the state OF Iowa.
They were as follows: 1891, 1861; 1892.
1873; 1898, 1919; 1894, Is; 1895. 35.1;
1896, 80; 1897. 20; 1898, 30; 1899, 81;
1900, 3S. Yet at the experiment sta
ton of that same state the lowest
yield was more than 10 bushels better
than the best average for the years
quoted. This shows what method will
do. II illustrates the truth that If a
man knows what he should know about
the cause and effect OF cultivation, the
conservation of fertility ald the result
Of methods Of culture he can be rea-
sonably certain OF having a good CROP
almost any year.
The average results at the station
for two years gave T1.9 bushels pei
acre with deep cultivation, and 81"
with shallow cultivation, This bears
out the opinions expressed by so man,
readers OF the Farmers Review tina
deep cultivation is harmful for corn
and that shallow cultivation IL thu
only kind that should be given 1t. Thu

shown here, is very marked.

sLimmnE In the Hog R.,lea.

At the Utah station some expert.
ments made in feeding skim milk 10
hogs resulted in the following conelu.
sions being drawn:
Skim milk when fed in combination
with grain makes a very valuable food
for hogs at all periods Of their growth,
but particularly 80 during the earlier
periods.
Skim milk and grain in combination
make a much more economic ration for
hogs than either milk alone or grain
alone.
When fed in combination with grain,
skim milk has SO per cent greater
feeding value than II has when fed
alone.
The hogs fed on the milk and grain
ration made much more rapid gains
than either those fed on milk alone
or grain alone.
When the skim milk and grain were
fed In the proportion OF three pounds
or less Of skim milk TO one of grain,
the return for the skim milk wns
greater than when a larger proportion
was fed.
Hogs fed on milk alone gained very
slowly and did not keep In good
health; In some cases they were on
their feed so frequently that a change
OF feed had to be made. The milk and
grain fed hogs, however. without ex-
ception, kept in good health.
Young hogs fed on grain alone did
not do well and appeared to make
poor use OF the food they ate.
Those hogs fed on milk alone or
grain alone when on pasture did much
better than hogs similarly fed in small
pens.

Irrigation In the Humid states.
