milwaukee Officials Find Their Trains
overrun With Men Beating Their

Way.
Sioux City, July 2S.-Men who try
to beat their way to the harvest fields
on railroad trains are going to meet
with some serious difficulties when
they get as far as Sioux City.
l.. B. Beardsley, division superinten-
dent for the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st.
Paul railroad company, has determined
to put stop to free riding over his
division. The superintendent has given
1t out that he expects to engage the
largest force of special policemen this
year that he has ever used to keep
men from climbing on freight trains.
He will station these not only In Sioux
City, but he expects to put them at the
small stations north of here.
1t has been the custom in past years
for the men who decide to ride free to
buy ticket to Elk Point, or some other
nearby place in order to get aboard the
train in Sioux City and thus evade the
police on duty here, and then remain
on the train until 1t reaches the harvest
fields far up in the interior of South
Dakota. The train crews have been en-
tirely unable to cope with these men,
who in some instances take complete
charge of trains. Some freight trains
going north out of this city. have had
more than 100 men aboard, clinsing to
the cars in all sorts of positions.
The annual migration of laborers to
the grain fields Of North and South
Dakota already has begun. Each day
the number of men passing thru Sioux
City increases. Many of them thus
far have been paying their fares and
riding on passenger trains. After Aug.
/ the men will begin to move In
swarms Then the policemen will be
sworn in in large numbers.
That there will this year be less
desire to pay fare than last year Is be-
lieved from the fact that the rates have
not been reduced by the railroad COM
panies this year except for tickets cost
ing more than IS, when the cost above
SIS Is cut in half. Tickets coming to
sums under So will be charged at full
rates. Last year a fiat half fare rate
was made to all points north OF Sioux

suits that no commercial fertilizer can

from II, and the soil will be made

Crabapple Trees,

The best culture methods for this
group of fruit IL not unlike that re-
auired by our common varieties Of
apple. says a report OF the Virginia
station. They are not as vigorous In
growth. and will therefore need less
pruning. and may be planted much
closer together than the common ap.
pie: 20 to 25 feet apart each way Is a
good distance for the trees. Those
varieties which belong to the Siberian
group. such as Red Siberian and Lake
Yellow. are upright in habit, and are
slower growers than those of the by.
brid type. and therefore may be plant.
ed even closer than above directed.
The crab.apple requires cultivation
and systematic spraying. the same as
other apples.

Acration.

AerAtion.
Aeration has been very widely
adopted by dairymen. II has two pur-
poses. says Prof. w. ii. Conn. Of tho
Connecticut station. az To remove
the socaiicd animal odors." These
animal odors are almost wholly duo
to the manure which gets into the
milk, and are not present In the milk
when clcanIy drawn. Aeration for
this purpose should not. therefore. be
necessary. but for some milk rs ordi.
nnrily drawn II does have the value OF
reducing the unpleasant odors that
come from nth. t2) Aeration as or
dinnriIy performed coois tho milk. and
this. M We have Just seen, Is OF very
great value. II the milk were cooled
In bottles as thoroughly the results
would bc ms satisfactory. Aeiati
does not remove tho bacteria. but on
tho contrary exposes the milk to con-
taminatioa from tho nir. Il should.
therefore. always be- done In . clean
room not connected with tho stable.
Better results arc obtained by clean
milRin. and immediate bottiins and
coolin. than by aeration. provided tho

Study the Soil.

The study OF soil physics IL recciv.
Ing every year more attention. That
1t will pay us all to devote more
thought to this subject Is obvious. It
Is q remarkable fact that, though
chemistry Is an old science. the edu.
Gated nations OF the past have paid
little attention to their soils. but have
ruthlessly impoverished them. This
was doubtless due to the fact that
only few people understood the sci
ences necessary to reveal the chrrac-
teristics OF the soil. and tho few that
did were unable to obtain any en-
larsed audience among the scattered
tillers OF the ground. So the old.
wastcful methods went on. But now
we have \ fuller enlightenment and
every farmer can become to some OK.
tent soil physicist. In fact. many OF
our farmers arc developing quite an
aptitude for tho study OF soils. and
this is ono OF tho very hopeful signs OF
our day.
The old way was to follow ono meth.
way 10 to adapt the process to tho
soil. and this manlfcstly requires great
variation
Among tho most important factors
Of the study Of soil physics Is soil
drainage. Whether Il will be possible
to drain soil and obtain good results
will depend on tho composition Of tho
soil and Of tho subsoii. Every farm.
e. should study his soils I'LL ho knows

relation OF sand 10 clay In each lot

To know the absorptivc quality Of all

Many . man Ia trying To Erow on his
