AGRICULTURAL
Chemical Study Of the Potato.


Chemical Study of the Potato.
The Illinois experiment station IS
conducting an interesting Investigation
to determine the exact chemical conf
position of the potato. In addition an
effort is being made to improve the
yield and increase the protein content.
This work was suggested by the fact
that the potato probably forms the sta
pie food of more human beings than
any other soil product, except rice. 1t
is the fifth crop of value in Illinois,
WHICH is not generally considered a
great potato State. 1t is true, however,
that the potato alone has too large a
starch content to make a balanced
food.
This has been the cause Of much ILL
feeding. starvation and disease iii sec
tons and countries where potatoes are
plentiful and protein foods scarce n
costly. Individual potatoes have been
found in their present state Of cultiva-
lion without special selection, to con-
tain from nj and a half to four per
cent. of protein, calculated to the fresh
substance, and to twelve per
cent. calculated to the dry substance,
the remainder being all starch.
1t is thought that a variety of pota-
toes giving a fair yield of tubers with
an average protein content as high as
the best figures already found, would
be of incalculable benefit to the con-
sumner and Of the Illinois station sees
no reason why this high protein con-
tent cannot be secured, inasmuch as
protein has been increased in corn, SUI
gar beets, etc. The outcome of this ex-
pertinent will be looked for with great
interest.-American Agriculturist.

Humane Feed Bag.

Any one who has ever seen q horse
struggling to secure the contents Of a
feed bag fastened to his head will at
once recognize the necessity of some
Improvement in the design Of these
things purely from a humane stand
point. The bag is fastened in such a
way that when the animal has con
sumed part Of his meal the remainder
reposes in the bottom of the bag at a
level Just below that of his mouth and
out Of the animals reach. In his eff
forts to get the food he losses his head
wildly around, and in thus securing a
few grains he scatters the greater part
of his meal hopelessly around the
ground.
There has been recently introduced
for this purpose a nose bag in which
the level of the grain is maintained at
the same point CONSTANTLY Until the
supply is completely exhausted. The
general appearance Of this improve
nfent is shown in the accompanying
cut. The. basket or main receptacle is
Of the ordinary circular form with a
fat bottom, but is much shallower
than usual for the purpose of giving
the animal greater breathing freedom.
The supply tube is of canva and com
municates with the basket through the
neck, which is Of metal and contains Il
butterfly valve for the purpose of reg
ulating the supply of feed. This regu-
lation, however. is necessary only
when the contents Of the bag is Of fine.
" ground grain. By this arrangement
the level of the grain In the basket is
always kept at the level of about the
top Of the gates through which it en-
tiers from the source of supply. The
tube holding the reserve supply is held
in an upright position by being fast
ened over the animals neck by means
of a strap. There is thus no reason
whatever for the horse to throw his
head in the air to get possession of the
grain, but II he should have contracted

How God Remembers Us.

When the spring comes the oak tree with
its thousands OF leaves blossoms all over.
The great heart of the oak tree remembers
every remotest tip of every farthest branch
and sends to each the message and the
power of new life. And yet we do not
think of the heart Of the oak tree as if it
were burdened with such multitudincus
remembrance, or as if it were any harder
work for it to make a million leaves than
it would be to make one. 1t is simply the
thrill of the common life translated into
these million forms. The great heart
beats, and wherever the channels of a COM
mon life are standing open the rich blood
leaf springs. Somewhat in that way it
seems to me that we may think of Gods
remembrance of His million childreas--

Handling Bees.

In subduing bees with smoke do not

for the purpose of removing honey
from the super do not drive the smoke
in at the entrance. That will drive
the bees from the brood chamber to
the super. The fewer bees you have
to contend with in the super the bet
ter. Turn up one corner Of the quilt
and smoke from the top; this will drive
the bees below. When you remove the
quilt do not hold the nozzle Of the
smoker too close to the bees. By SO
doing I have more than once seen a
novice SINCE the wings of the bees. Do
not drive the smoke in as if you in
tended to heat a smelling furnace.
There is reason in all things. Enough

Always use a bee-veil in handling

confidence. Even then always have
your veil on your hat ready to protect
your face should the bees suddenly be-
come angered.
