A KNOWLEDGE OF PRINCIPLES.
A man to be successful in any
branch of plant culture must under.
stand the principles of plant growth.
Most men do not understand these
principles and whatever they do is
done either because their experience
seems TO pronounce II good or the
course has been recommended to
them by someone else. II not infre-
quently happens that a man will de-
scribe his methods to another and
that latter will adopt them to his loss.
Thus one man said that the use Of pot
ash on his land would give very good
results and urged his friends to go
and do likewise. The men put on the
potash, but could get no increased
results from 1t, and they forthwith
declared the fertilizer worthless and
that the first man was mistaken. That
showed a lack of the understanding
of the principles. A man that looked
into the case found that the land OF
the first man was deficient in potash
while on the land of the men that had
used 1t unsuccessfully there was an
abundance for every purpose. The
men should have known the condi-
lions of their soils in the first place.
| Unless a man makes a systematic
study OF them he is little likely to
learn the principles of plant life and
nutrition. A principle is a law that
applies in all places, yet Is modified
by circumstances. Thus one kind OF
plant needs one kind of pruning and
another plant needs another kind, YET
both must come under the law thai
says winter pruning tends to in
crease wood production and summer
pruning tends to increase the fruit
yield" Principles have been made
known by the experiences OF thu
many.

EFFECT OF PROTEIN FEEDS.

At the Nebraska station hogs were
differently fed to determine the effece
of protein and carbonaceous feeds in
the internal organs and bones Of the
animals. One lot was fed on corn
alone, and another on corn and alfalfa.
The slaughter test showed larger liver
and lungs and better bone in the lot
fed alfalfa Prof. Burnett says:
This slaughter test shows that by
supplying more protein, in this case by
feeding alfalfa, we get greater devel-
opment of internal organs and more
health and vigor. Undoubtedly IL
more attention were given to supply
ing such foods as will bring about a
healthy organism, losses from cholera
and other diseases would be greatly re-
duced. The strength Of the thigh bones
was tested by providing supports at
both ENDS, applying pressure in tho
| middle. This test was made In a ma
chine for testing strength Of materials.
| The bones of the corn-fed pig meas
| ured one-sixteenth of an inch larger in
| diameter. One bone from the ccrn-fed
pig broke under pressure OF 800
pounds and the other $40 pounds. One
of the bones OF the corn-and-alfalfa-
fed pigs broke at 500 pounds and the
other at $40 pounds. From this test It
is evident that breakdowns, which
often occur in heavy corn-fed hogs, are
the fault of the feed rather than the
animal. 1t further shows that the
ability of the hog to stand up well on
legs is a matter of density of bone
rather than size.

the conduct OF the The Sacred stone.
two brothers who originated the tribe,
sent to them stone of very peculiar
pattern. They were told that this was
their altar, and that they should hold
their feasts and councils around 1t.
That 1t would, unassisted, follow them
forever, and that from 1t they would
derive their name. According to the
beautiful legend that is how they came
to be called "The People OF the Up
right Stone"
At the time of the advent OF the
"pale-face," the sacred altar rested in
a grove of butternut trees overlook
ing the Stockbridge valley. When the
tribal relations were dissolved, the last
plea of the chief heard, and the camp
fire extinguished, 1t still occupied its
silent and almost unnoticed site.
Shortly after, however, the proph-
ecy that II would follow the tribe in
all its wanderings was fulfilled. When
Uncle Sam removed the survivors OF
the nation to Green Bay the stone was
raised with Indian ceremony and
pomp and deposited in Forest Hill CEN

IRRIGATION BY PUMPING.


Irrigation has been carried on for
centuries by means Of canals In which
the water moved in response to the
law of gravity. Later air power has
been used as means of lifting the
water and storing It In reservoirs,
from which 1t could be afterwards
used on the land. Some water for
such purposes has been raised by
pumping with steam and gasolene en-
gines. Generally, this latter method
has been considered too expensive to
be advocated for general use. But
some time ago the Arizona station
took up the problem and Is solving 1t
in a way that promises to be very
advantageous to some of our western
farmers. For pumping steam engines
are used, and the fuel is that found on
the farm-in the case of the Arizona
station 1t is tornillo wood purchasable
at s2.25 per cord. 1t may be that
such fuel is abundant in many sec
lions Of the country where there are
different engines were tried and they
pumped from 600 to 1885 gallons per
minute. The fuel cost OF irrigating
one acre Of land to depth Of three
inches ranged from 81 to 76 cents
This water was used on the alfalfa
field, and proved to be very profitable
Were 1t to be used on field of vege
tables 1t would, Of course, prove still
more profitable. Water is the key tC
agriculture. and its application to lane
at low cost means the bringing under
cultivation of large areas that have
hitherto borne nothing but buffalo
grass and sage brush.
