That commonplace and indispensable
article, condensed milk, is also great
traveller, and for 20 years the label on
the tin has been the message sent by
America 10 millions of uncouth people
who never heard of the great Republic,
and who, il the anti-climax may be al
lowed, never set eyes on a milch COW.
The explorer and the missionary are
the advance agents of condensed milk.
1t goes wherever they venture, and
when the missionary has children it is
the one thing his household cannot do
without There is no wilderness where
a discarded milk tin does not glitter
in the sun. 1t has blazed the way
across Africa; it has been very near
the pole, for Lieutenant Peary relates
that Is years after the Greeley expedi-
tion cached canned rations in the froZ-
en- north he found the condensed milk
as sweet and wholesome as ever. IN
the Businesses of northern Luzon,
where an American face had never
been seen, General Youngs soldiers
found tins of condensed milk with the
brand of the eagle. 1t can be found
all over Mongolia and Manchuria, and
even in Thibet. The Chinese, who do
not take milk in their tea, use the
condensed kind as a food, chiefly for
their children. In India also it has
large sale for that purpose, and it is
not too much to say that the product
of the American factory has been the
pabulum of millions of Asiatics.-H. e.

Cropping Marsh Lands.


From Farmers Review: The marsh
lands referred to by f. X, ia a recent
number OK the Review must contain
large proportion of vegetable matter.
We may, therefore, assume with a rea-
sonable degree of fairness that the la
Dor OF drafting might be largely ac-
complished curing the early fall and
winter while other farm work is slack.
NY experience with such land is quite
limited, but from what know it is a
work not to be accomplished in a dsy.
Patience and endurance, with pecse-
verance will bring about astonishing
results. My plan would be to drain
as above indicated, but if not practical
ON account of freezing | would do the
work during the summer season and
plow the land during the fall, II dry
enough. Otherwise it should remain
undisturbed until the water Is sufiiei-
emily drained out OF the soil to permit
plowing without discomfort to either
team or plowman. If the proper con-
dition for plowing is not obtainable the
first spring or fall after draining let 1t
stand until it is. After plowing do
not hasten to get crop upon II at
once, but let it have a winters freez-
ing and thawing, or exposure to a sum-
mer's sun and rain. Both will be ben
efcial especially il II is stirred enough
during the summer season to keep
down the weeds, allowing none to go
to seed.
One of the first crops and one most
likely to succeed is rape, which may

care of itself until time to feed off
either with hogs or sheep; preferably
the latter. Pasture off two or three
rape crops in successive seasons, after
which it may be sown to millet, fol-
lowed by barley. then to timothy.
These marsh lands are likely too rich
in vegetable matter to seed to blue

make the finest kind OF land for the
growing of onions and celery. Some
of these same soils where properly
managed in growing the above crops
are to-day giving larger profits per
acre than any other lands of which
have personal knowledge. A few
years of cultivation will do much to-
ward bringing these lands into con-
dition to grow such garden crops as
onions and celery, and if the land is
not too light may after few years
grow blue grass with no small degree
of success.-J. Fremont Hickman, Ohio

Keep dairy cattle in a room or build
ing by themselves. 1t is preferable to
have no cellar below and no storage
loft above.
Stables should be well ventilated,
lighted and drained; should have tight
floors and walls and be plainly con-
structed.
Never use musty or dirty litter.
Allow no strong smelling material in
the stable for any length of time.
Store the manure under cover outside
the cow stable and remove it to a dis
tance as often as practicable.
Whitewash the stable once or twice
a year; use landplaster in the manure
cutters daily.
Use no dry, dusty feed just previous
to milking; if fodder is dusty, sprinkle
1t before it is fed.
Clean and thoroughly air the stable
before milking; in hot weather sprinkle
the floor.
Keep the stable and dairy room in
good condition and then insist that the
dairy, factory or place where the milk
goes be kept equally well.

The Cattle Question.

Az a convention of stockmen at
Buffalo DR.. Sanford of Washington.
d. C., made a speech that should be
read by every farmer in the United
States. He made a statement to the
effect that the United States has the
largest aggregate number of cattle,
representing the largest investment
OF any country in the world. He
then mentioned the work of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry in connection
with the consular department in their
efforts to increase this trade by send
ing cattle to Mexico, Central and South
American countries, and gave the diff
ticulties that had been met with in
their endeavors in this direction; pref
udice, quarantine regulations. lack of
proper transportation and other causes
had presented innumerable stumbling
blocks. In addition to these troubles
the scarcity of cattle in our own mar
kets has added to the difficulty of ex-
tending trade in these directions. A
point worthy of careful consideration
is the fact that our own cattle are de-
creasing proportionately as the popu-
lation increases. No statement in con-
nectiou with the cattle business could
possibly contain more material for
study ;han this.

thus kept separate from those that do

Crops for Reclaimed Marshes.

From the Farmers Review: In refer
ence to the questions asked by one of
your Wisconsin correspondents, |
would say: Considerable work has been
uone in this state on these black,
marsh soils and much remains to be
done. 1t has been a rather general
experience of those who have drained
and broken these lands that while
profitable crops were grown the first
year, and in some cases for the first
few years, the crops of succeeding
years were constantly poorer and poor
er. Experiments both in Europe and
in this state have shown that very fire.
ouently, but not always these soils will
give very good results when fertilized
with potash, either in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers or in the form of
wood ashes Farmyard manure has
also been found to be very helpful. In
some experiments conducted at Madi-
son the application of potassium sui
phate has given more than four times
the yield of ear corn grown on infer
tilized land. Your correspondent will
ind these experiments described in de-
tail in the annual report of this station
for 1900 In regard to crops which are
best grown on this SOIL | must say
that no systematic work has as yet
been done. When well fertilized with
farm manure, rape corn and timothy
have given fair crops. In draining
these peaty marshes it is desirable in
many cases to put in open bitches
which may be left for few years un-
I'll the peat has somewhat decomposed
nd then the clay tile may be placed.
If this is not done. the settling OF the
peat on draining will give rise to two
difficulties; first, the tiles will be dis
torted and in some cases pulled down
so low that no drainage can take place.
and second, the settling down OF the
marsh will often leave the tiles so near
the surface that they interfere with
cultivation. After drainage, it is usu-
ally best to simply harrow the ground
with spring tooth harrow rather than
90 plow i owing to the loose nature of
the ground itself.-A. r. Whitson, Wis
