Troo Culture IN Connectlcut.

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 q 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 TRANSFORMING,
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, who
will be expected to care for the mu-
nicipal trees, and towns are urged to
make appropriations for tho setting
out and maintenance of trees. The law
also protects shade trees against van.

A merican-(SrOwn Egyptian Cotton.


approximately $8,0GO,00O worth OF
Egyptian cotton is imported into this
country every year, there being a
special demand for this cotton on ac-
count Of its high quality. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture imported some
seed Of this cotton several years ago,
but more recently larger quantities
we're obtained and placed where the
variety seems likely to succeed. Very
encouraging results have been OBJ
tanned from the work, and this year a
bale of Egyptian cotton, grown from
imported seed in southern Georgia,
was given q thorough spinning test
in a mill in Connecticut, and was pro-
nounced equal to the best imported
grades. 1t is believed that we can
grow this crop, but aside from this
the cottons themselves will be valu-
able in breeding forms, which in all

Keep Up tho Supply Of Hulnus.

neep Up tho Supply Of Humus.
E. +. Ladd, Of the North Dakota
Station, reports experiments and OBJ
servations which lead to the concln-
sion that humus, at least in regions
of low annual rainfall, like the d.
kotas, plays more important role in
agriculture than has generally been
ascribed to it." It may safely be said
that this is generally true. Professor
Ladd's investigations show that as
humus decreases in soils they be
come less productive, less retentive OF
moisture, and inferior in physical
quality, while on the other hand it was
found that an increase in the percent.
age Of humus is accompanied not only
with an increase in percentage OF
phosphoric acid extracted with the hui
mus, but also with greater produc
tivity of the soil. = AS the hu.
mus increases it seems to cause por-
tons OF the phosphoric acid till then
existing in an insoluOle form, to be-
come more readily available IS plant
food. The same is true as regards The
potash, lime and other soil cSostitu-
ents." If more attention were given
to maintaining an abundant supply OF
humus (partially decayed organic Mat
ter) in soils, they would be more pro-
ductive, require less artificial fertil;z-
ing, and respond more generous'y
when commercial Fertilizers are used.

Produc ing a Corn Crop.


From The Farmers Review: The
thing most necessary is the .plowinS
Of the land, as think the cultivation
of the corn crop begins with the prop
er blowing Of the land. On my farm
we pillow all land intended 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 a sixteen-inch fur
row. The principal reason for plow-
ing deep IS to form good mulch over
the land that we may be able to retain
the moisture late in the season and
prevent evaporation. In the spring
when the proper time arrives, we pre-
pare a good seed bed and plant our
corn, and then, in few days, we put
the spike harrow on and harrow thor
oughly, sometimes going both ways Of
the field, as we find for the first cul-
tivation this to be not only very rapid
but very thorough. One man and four
horses will cultivate forty acres in a
day. Now you Of course understand
the season has much to do with the
method of cultivation. Now, as to the
kind of cultivator, we have used most
all kinds of corn cultivators and ex-
perimented quite a little along this
line, and we have arrived at this con-
clusion: After the narrowing we use
the six-shovcl sulky cultivator for the
first and second working. l mean Dy
the second working the cross blowing
(and l want to say right here that we
plow corn only three times, believing
more is rather an injury than bene-
fit), and now for the third or last
blowing. We throw aside the shovels
entirely and use the surface cultivat-
or. We give as our reason for MAX
ing this change that with Ibis imple-
ment we can keep out of the roots Of
the corn, which is absolutely neces-
sary in this last cultivation, besides
leaving the surface of the field almost
level, and forming a dust mulch all
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
and to this would say we have the
combined shovel and surface pillow, this
surface Attachment costing about Sc
extra.
Now as to the second question as TO
the failure of the corn crop in this
section, would say l am situated in
the corn belt of Illinois and we never
have any failures. We sometimes
have short corn crop, like the pres
ent one. The short crop OF this year
we attribute to dry weather and hot
winds, more, I think, on account OF
the hot winds than dry weather. I
have been on the farm fifty years and
l never saw such a visitation of hot
winds before. This came just as the
tassel was making it's appearance,
young and so tender from it's folds that
in many instances it was killed, hay
ing, Of course, no power to pollenize,
hence SO many barren stalks, and !
think these causes are consequently
unavoidable.-W. s. Harold.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER
SEIZED.
The New York Board of Health Ftn6
1t Contains Alum and Rock,
Declare 1t Dangerous to
Health and Dump 1t Ins
to the River.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in a
Sixth ave. department store. The
report of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that it was San
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of repress-
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
it into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly ef-
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
1y offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents pound, or with some prize, as
a temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der of established name and reputa-
ton. Do not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as "just as
good" or ''our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is,
often deceived by interruptions max
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the houselxeeper insist
on having what she knowsis right, and
not be induced to risk the life OF the
family for an imaginary saving of
few cents.

MINISTERS AND THEIR FAULTS
Bishop Fowler Makes a Pointed Ad.
dress to q Glass OF Young
Preachers.

Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, who addressed z
class of young preachers at the Meth
odist conference the other day at New
York, said: IF you should ask me to
decide between the man with no re-
ligion and common sense and the man
with religion and no common sense,
/ should take the man with common
sense. 1t is the business sense which
is going to win in our work.
There is too much of the goody-
goody principle and the Hear, Lord!'
idea among people nowadays. Too
many people think they will be re-
ceived into the Kingdom of Heaven if
they have their shoes blackened and
their faces cleaned, but they are
wrong. like a man with good skele
ton-a man who can stand up straight.
If he has not good skeleton he caves
in like a bag of wind.
There is a vast difference between
sanctifcation and 'cranktifcation.' II
a man says no one in the house except
his wife has religion, and he is in doubt
about her, that is 'cranktifcation.'
Sanctifcation is charitable.
Don't bring the church a preacher
so dry that if you bore gimlet hole
in him sawdust will run out. The
greatest devil that fights the Meth
odist ministry is laziness. If we pnt
as much work into our ministry as the
average business man puts into his
business we shall win"
Bishop Fowler said it was better to
steal a good sermon and acknowledge.
it than to preach dry ones all the time.

He Told the Convention at Chicago That
Eeciproc ty Was Fast Becoming the

Chicago, April 11.-Seventy business
men representing eastern, middle
west and western states met here
Thur sday for the purpose of form
ing non-partisan national reciproc-
ity league. Gov. Stanley, Of Kansas,
president of the Western Reciprocity
league, called the meeting to order
and informed the delegates that the
furtherance of reciprocity between
the United States and the countries
of all the rest of the world was the
purpose of the proposed organiza-
ton. He declared that the idea Of
the organization had been received
with applause throughout the coun-
try. Reciprocity, he said, was fast
becoming the paramount question of
the country. This assertion was Wig
orously applauded.
The National Reciprocity league
was organized, w. E. Stanley, gov
ernor of the state of Kansas, being
elected president. B. Hulet, of To-
peka, Kan, was chosen secretary
OF the new league and B. B. Swift,
of Chicago, treasurer. A board of
directors was also selected. A ma
tional convention of the league will
be called for the near future, prob
ably at Chicago.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
the ratification of reciprocal treaties
with other countries.
