DAlRYING AND THE SOIL.

Experiments Which Show How Fer
tflity Is Conserved.
The New Jersey experiment station
has conducted some experiments with
the idea of illustrating the extent sto
which soil fertility is accumulated
where dairy animals are kept ons the
farm. Twenty three cows in 1896 con-
Bumed $40 tons of bran. $50 tons of
dry brewers grain, clio tons of corn
meal and 3.55 tons of linseed meal,
these foods containing LOO pounds of
nitrogen. In 1897 twenty-five cows
consumed 1880 tons of bran, 8.15 tons
of dry brewers grains, $50 tons of corn
meal and AS tons of linseed meal, the
total amount of nitrogen in this food
being 1,7S1 pounds. The same number
bran, 1925 tons of dry brewers grains,
5 tons of corn meal, $50 tons of lin
seed meal and Its tons of rice meal.
this food containing 2,190 pounds of
nitrogen. The foods of the three lots
mentioned contained respectively 958.
1,108 and 1878 pounds of phosphoric
acid; also 462, 562 and 655 pounds Of
potash respectively. There were con-
tanned in the milk of the twentythree
cows of 1896 $40 pounds of nitrogen,
this being S51 pounds less nitrogen
than was contained in the food con-
sumed.. In 1897 the milk contained
927 pounds of nitrogen, this being 854
pounds less than the amount supplied
in the food The herd in 1898 were
supplied in the food 1, 154 pounds more
nitrogen than was removed from the
farm In the milk. In 1896 there were
$40 pounds more phosphoric acid sup
piled in the feed than was contained in
the milk; in 1897 761 pounds and in
1898 9S4 pounds; of potash the food
contained pa pounds more than the
milk in 1896. POI pounds more in 1897
and 353 more in 1898. To summarize
these results it may be said that dur
ing the three years there was a gain
OF 1859 pounds of nitrogen, 1885
pounds of phosphoric acid and S5S
pounds of potash; that is, these
amounts of the fertilizing elements
were left on the farm in the form of
barnyard manure after removing the
milk If there is this increase in fer
tility when the milk is taken from the
farm, what must be the result when
only the cream is removed? 1t simply
is this, that the amount is practically
nil, being less than 81 for every $500
worth of dairy products sold. There is
no system of farming that to so great
an extent conserves the elements of
fertility as dairying. and especially
SO when only the butter fat is removed
and the skim milk left on the farm to
be fed to calves and hogs.

PIGEONS FOR PROFIT.

There Is Money In SQUAD Raising ~
1t Is Done Properly.
A Pennsylvania lady writes as fol-
lows about squads:
In breeding squads do not select any
one breed, as the mixed varieties are
more hardy and work steadier. To get
the quickest return buy a flock Of
mated birds and put them in your
house, then gradually Gull out the poor
ones have raised half my flock and
always select the finest squads from
the part blood Antwerps or Turbits.
We need not care much how they mate
except to be careful the male bird is al.
ways large and well developed, as the
main object we are working for is to
get the larger squads.
Pigeons can be raised successfully in
confinement If large fly is used and
they are provided with oil require
ments If pigeons are allowed their lib
erty 1t costs about cents to raise
SQUAD to four weeks old, but If confined
it will more than double the cost. Pr
geons are not destructive to crops I'M
less they are compelled to hunt their
food Well fed birds never destroy
stacks or any kind of grain crops.
Many disapprove of feeding from a
hopper, but I have one and keep 1t
well filled. If you have plenty of cats,
mice will not infest the feed quarters.
Feed principally wheat and corn. Do
not change the feed too much. although
peas, millet and buczwheat may be fed
alternately if one feels so disposed. A
good plan is to feed on the ground in
good weather, but on damp. rainy days
it is always preferable to feed from a
hopper. The old birds feed their young
The age of squads ready for market
is four weeks, although oftentimes they
will do at three. To prepare them for
market bleed from the mouth and pick
clean to the crown of the head, plunge
into cold water to plump them and re
move the heat, wash and tie in punches

ALL INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE.

ALL INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE.
There has developed in the large cor
respondence growing out of the pub
LEGATION of these notes the very pleas
ing fact that a large percentage of
men engaged in professional, mercan-
tile and manufacturing lines have a
strong liking for things pertaining to
the farm. This is not to be wondered
at when one considers how many of
them were born and raised upon the
farm, and then through much of the
country, especially in the great west,
all kinds of business outside of the
farm are so very closely connected
with the agricultural prosperity
and good crops insuring commercial
and professional success-that things
pertaining to agriculture are of interest
to nearly all. Then the man in town,
be he doctor, lawyer, merchant or par
son, is just as much interested in his
home surroundings. and often more
than is the farmer for he will have
his garden, his lawn. his flowers, his
shade and fruit trees, often his chick
ems and q COW. and for many the
dream of their lives is to have small
farm where living shall be free from
the fret. strife and competition of our
modern commercialism. And so it
comes that if anything can be written
which shall appeal to the almost uni
versal love of nature aud natural
things of home. and how to make it
more delightful place of life and
how to get the most and best out of
it. the parson in his study, the mer-
chant in his counting room, the teacher
in his schoolroom. the lawyer in his
Office are as much interested as he who
tolls on the farm

TIE EVOLUTION OLE srLAs.

H1AA~-A'Ss
Fifteen years ago, when we first met
Sllas, he was an exceedingly common
place sort of fellow. He was then just
of age and had worked loyalty with
his father, a poor. hand to mouth
farmer, until he was twenty one. His
education had been limited to what the
country district school could give and
what he had been able to learn by ex
Derience and from a restricted line of
reading matter He was husky and
strong physically, and no young man
roundabout was more willing to work
or could do better days work. Com
ing of age and finding himself his own
boss, he had only one ambition, and
that to make of himself a better farm
err than his father had been. This is
what he did: He hired out by the
year to one OF the best stockmen In the
country and worked for him four
years, learning all he could about
stock-the breeding, feeding and judg-
ing-and the growing of crops used in
stock feeding He worked hard, got
good wages, spent as little as possible
on his personal wants, and at the end
of four years had $1,000 and a knowl-
edge and experience worth good deal
more He then married a nice girl.
thrifty, prudent and competent, and
rented large farm, well stocked, for
d term of five years. At the end of his
lease he was able to buy $4,000
farm of his own. and now, six years
later. he is one of the leading men of
his community, worth easily $4,000,
drives his good wife and three chill
dren to church in handsome carriage
and lives in an ideal American farm
home. The evolution of Silas is worth
studying.

1t now appears that Iowa is to be

not to be so. The Creamery Journal

Many people do not think how quick
ly chickens double in size and then in a
few weeks double In size again. Not I'M
til they find two or three half grown
chicks dead in the coop in the morning
are they aroused to realization that
the coop is too small and the birds are
oyercrowded. A roosting coop six feet
long by three feet wide has twelve
linear feet of roost room, sufficient for
twenty-five pullets. 1t isn't sufficient
room for forty or fifty pullets up to lay
ing maturity. and the man that puts
that number in one (when they are
half grown and then neglects to give
them additional room later has only
himself to blame If the too many birds
together do not do as well as they
ought to do. Comfortable sleeping quar-
tiers are a necessity if we want the
birds to grow up TO strong, vigorous
layers.-A. F. Hunter.

five or six years and would do better
still If reset in three. New beds must
be planted in August, for If later than
this they will not furnish bloom the
following summer The bulbs should
be set some six inches apart in a bed

drainage, for places where the water is
