Stag has been used in large duanti-
ties in Europe for number of years.
In 1899 1.655.00O tons of Stag are stat
ed to have been used in Europe. VI
this, $4,000 tons was used in Germany
and 10000 in France. In 1856 the use
of this material was practically con-
fined to Germany. and amounted to
only 5000 tons. The total consump
ton OF phosphate fertilizers in Ger
many in 1899 was 1.S64.O00 tons; in
France, 2i5,000 tons-showing that
nearly half OF the phosphate fertiliz-
ers used in these countries was Thom.
as Stag. Stag has not been extensively
introduced into the United States. The
larger part of that used in this coun-
try is imported from abroad. Some
has been manufactured at Pottstown,
Pa, and put on the market under the
name OF "odorless phosphate" and it
is expected that the Stag will soon be
made at Birmingham, Ala. and prob
ably elsewhere in this country in the
course of time.

reer Planting.

One OF the most important and
promising lines of work OF the Bureau
of Forestry is Its study OF economic
tree planting and Its corporation with
farmers md others in making forest
plantations. Tree planting has SO Vi
tai and intimate n relation to the well
fare OF the farmer In the treclcss re-
yions that whatever assists him to
grow trees assists him also in the pro-
duction OF every other crop. Forty-six
thousand one hundred and forty-fvc
acres were examined for planting dur
ing the year. and planting plans were
prepared for 5.1S5 acres. while 1iS ap-
plications for trcc-planting plans have
been received. The number of appll-
cations for commercial plantations of
large size is increasing so rapidly that
ths usefulness OF the practical assist
ancc and advice offered to the tree
planters will be limited only by the
men and money available for the work.
A series Of important measurements Of
the growth OF plar ted groves In the
treeless plairs has Leen begun in order
to show the value of plantations as
business Investments. A careful study
has been pushed during the year of the
encroachment Of forests on the West
ern plains In order to determine the
possibility of reclaiming portions of
non-agricultural government land by
planting forests.

1rs. cal,ur. In Connecticut.

A dispatch from New Haven states
that the arid and waste lands Of Con.
necticut are to be reclaimed by tree
culture. This is but an effort to re.
store old conditions. The cutting
down of Connecticut forests SO reduced
moisture supplies that the rivers of
the state dried up in summer and the
factories along their banks were
forced to stop for lack of water power.
The new law provides for a state park
of several hundred acres to be located
near New Haven. In this park the
Yale School of Forestry will plant all
varieties and determine the species
best adapted to general transplanting
and 1t will also study methods OF de.
stroying insects that prey upon forest
trees. The new law also provides for
forest warden in each town, wto
will be expected to care for the mu-
nscipal trees, and towns are urged to
make appropriations for the setting
out and maintenance of trees. The law
also protects shade trees against van
dalism. Any person who places an
advertisement on tree is liable to a
fine of $50, and fine of 500 is i'm
posed on any one who wantonly in.
jures shade tree. If a horse destroys
all ornamental tree in a public place
his owner is subject to fine of 500.

rinci,i,g In.

A bulletin of the Tennessee Expert
ment station says: There is a prac-
tical application OF this law OF growth.
Pinching is an old practice. employed
to maintain symmetrical development
In young trees. When a shoot length
ems more rapidly than Its fellows the
tree is apt to grow one-sided. By
pinching out the top of such n shoot
Its progress is stopped for a time. and
the other branches grow on. thus
equalizing the parts of the crown.
Oftentimes the same branch will re-
quire stopping several times before the
others overtake It Every time a
shoot is pinched the first effect is to
cause buds Immediately below to be-
come more mature than would have
happened had the branch been unin-
jured. Pfnching. then, not only per-
mits other shoots to overtake the
pinched one. but has an important in
fluence upon the future growth of the
shoot thus. .stopped-the operation per-
fccting the buds below and making
them more certain to form branches
than they would otherwise. 1t be-
comes important to remove or encour-
age these growth, according to their
effect in the symmetry of the crown.

Approximately ss.O0o.000 worth Of
Egyptian cotton is imported into this
country every year. there being q
special demand for this cotton on ac-
count of It's high quality. The Depart
ment OF Agriculture imported some
seed of this cotton several years ago,

sion that humus. at least in regions
OF low annual rainfall. like the Da-

that this Is generally true. Professor

humus decreases In soils they "be-

found that mn Increase In the percent

with an increase In percentage OF

From The Farmers Review: The
thing most necessary IL the p!owins

Of the corn crop begins with the prop
er plowing OF the land. On my iafm
we plow all land interded for corn In
the fall OF the year and We plow an
average depth OF six inches we use
for this work the tricycle. or three
wheel plow. cutting u sixteen-inch tu'-
row. The principal reason Tor p'ow-
Ing deep Is to form good mulch over
the land that we may be able to Tetain
the moisture lata IN the season anu
prevent evaporation. In the spf'hs
when the proper time arrives. we pre-
pare q good seed bed and plant Jul
corn. and then. In few days. We put
the spike harrow ON and harrow thos-
oughiy. sometimes soing both ways OF
the field. as we md for the hrst cu'.
tivation this to be not only very rapid
but very thorough. One man ana tour
horses will cultivate forty acres IN
day. Now you OF course understand
the season has much to do with inc
method OF cultivation. Now. as TO the
kind OF cultivator. We have used most
all kinds of corn cuitivators and ex-
perimented qui,c n little along this
line. and We have arrived Mt this con-
clusion: After the narrowing we use
the six-shovcl suiky cultiyator for the
first and second wortins. ! mean py

plow corn only three times. believing

fiu. and now for the third or last
plowing. We throw aside the shoveis
entirely and use the surface cuiuvat-

Ing this change that with .his imp'c-
ment We can keep out OF the roots OF
the corn. which Is absolutely neccS-
sary In this last cultivation. besides
leaving the surface OF the field nlmos,
level. and forming dust mulch ali
over the land. which tends to check
evaporation and hold the moisture
among the roots of the ccrn. Some
of my brother farmers may say We
can't afford so many kinds OF plows

nARnEN EWES.

: An English writer says: II Is not
uncommon to flnd n few barren ewes
In the flock. Some rams leave more
than others. Just before the lnmbins
season commences. any that may DO
suspected Of being barren should BE-
picked out md tested. There are sew
eraI different ways OF detecting bar
rcn ewes. Tho Arst thing that would
naturally strike tho eye Of the shcp-
herd. or m experienced flockmastcr.
would be their light walk. fatness OF
sides. and lishtncss Of belly. rs COM
pared with other ewes. Any dirt about
tho tall Is often n sign OF barrcnncss.
But none Of these indications are 10
be relied upon In case OF tho eve
being late iambcr. II these suspect
cd ewes be drawn out and put on n
high. banky field. the barren ones will
usually be exceedingly active. and will
commence butting and skipping. A
eve In lamb rarely skips. however
much she may be enticed to Join in
the fun by barren one. This skip
ping Is very sure test. A fine. day
should be selected. and there are GER
tain fields on every farm. in which
they are more likely to reveal tho
secret than others. The shepherd. as
n rule. knows them well. It often
happens that they skip when with
their own flock. but are more likely to
do SO when with younger sheep.
Another test is to turn the eve and
examine the udder. II barren. she
will show no signs OF secrcting milk.
Will usually have. waxy matter devel-
oped in the wrinklcd skin around the
udder. and the wool will generally be
stronger in growth than that on an
in-lamb eve. II these barren ewes are
in good condition. or can be got in
good condition quickly, It is often ad-
visable to sell them in the fleece.
