Manure Does Benefit Land.


A good deal of comment has been
caused by the publication by the de-
partment of agriculture of the United
States of bulletin %, in which the
authors claimed that poor soils were
as good crop yielders as good soils,
provided both were in the same me-
chanlcal condition. This was regard
ed everywhere as a most astonishing
statement, as it was equivalent to
saying that all kinds of manure bene-
tit soil only by improving it mechan-
lcally. A few people, however, al
ways ready to follow any new doc
trlpe, at once took up with this new
idea.
But our best agriculturists have
been all the time certain that fertil-
lzers do add to the amount of avail
able plant food in the soil. 1t was the
contention of the authors of the bull
letin in question that natural agen-
cles are all the time at work in the
soil liberating new quantities of plant
food, and that the amount of plant
food SO liberated is as great in poor
soil as in good. They claimed to have
found this out by actual analyses OF
the plant food available in different
soils.
1t is evident that something is
wrong with their soil analyses. One
OF the greatest soil physicists in the
United States is Professor F. H. King.
During 1903 Professor King carried on
some experiments to determine the
points at issue in the bulletin. He
carried on the same tests on three
types of soil of low productive capac-
ity and three types of soil of high
productive capacity. He. determined
the plant food soluble in water once
each week during the entire season
in soil from each field. He also grew
crops on each of the six fields. The
amc''~; of available plant food in the
good soils was found to be about two
and a half times as great in the good
soils as in the poor soils, on the
average OF all tests throughout the
season.
The crops grown responded in like
measure. The good soils yielded
crops twD and half times larger
than did the poor soils. When these
crops were analysed they we're found
to contain about two and a half times
as mich plant food as did the crops
grown on the poor soils.
1t will thus be seen that there is
a difference in the amount of plant
food in different soils, and that the
most productive soils are those we'll
MANFRED and containing much avail
able plant food. 1t is not true that
there is as much available plant food
in solution in the water of one soil
as of another.

Grass,

Grass is the great fundamental crop.
Without the aid of man (and pre-
vious to his intervention) it covers
the habitable earth everywhere with
it's mantle of green and fills the son
with a thick, flbrous growth of roots,
and not only protects the land from
the ravages OF wind and water, but
becomes also the primary source of
food for a large part of the animal
creation, says A. M. Ten Eyck. Ac.
cOrding to the government reports,
corn holds the first place as the great
est wealth-producing crop of this coun-
try, while grass takes second rank
1t is safe to say: however, that the re-
verse is the actual fact. The reports
fail to take into account the great
wealth produced from grass as a pas.
ture and its great value as soil-pro-
tector and soil-renewer, and it's pow
err to increase the yield of other crops
when used in rotation. Although the
native grasses grow without the aid
of man, yet it is only when certain do
mesticated species are cultivated that
the greatest production of hay and
pasture is secured.

Irrigation in Humid Climates.

We have usually considered till
very recent years that /. paid to irri.
gate land only in those countries in
which the rainfall was insufficient to
supply the crops with the needed
moisture. But it is being learned that
irrigation pays even in lands where
the rainfall is sufficient in most years.
Illinois has an annual precipitation of
about 35 inches and Italy an annual
precipitation of about. 40 inches. Few
farmers in Illinois would think it
profitable to irrigate, yet in Italy
many thousands of farmers are irri-
eating and consider it money we'll
spent. rs crop insurance. The lead.
ing crops in the irrigated regions are
corn, wheat and oats. Mulberry trees
are also irrigated, and the irrigation
increases the yield of the mulberry
leaves about one-third. The farmers
there declare that irrigation enables
them to grow a crop of corn after
the wheat. and to increase the yield
of alfalfa and clover 100 per cent.
Most of the irrigation work there
is organized on the cooperative basis
The largest of these cooperative as.
sociations has $4,000 members and
controls the irrigation of 123.500 acres

Age Of Market Birds.

Nothing is more important to the
average buyer of poultry than to know
how to distinguish good and had, old
and young birds, says H. w. Atwater
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. A good, fresh bird shows
well-rounded form with neat, com.
pact legs and no sharp, bony angles
on the breast, indicating a lack of
tender white meat. The skin should
be color yellow being preferred in
the American market) and free from
blotches and pinfeathers. The flesh
should be neither flabby nor stiff, but
should give evenly and gently when
pressed by the finger.
In fresh bird, the feet feel moist.
soft and timber, and if dressed with
the head on the eyes look bright and
full. AS it becomes stale the eyes
shrink and the feet dry and harden;
when too stale, /. e., when decomposi.
ton is well under way, the body turns
dark and greenish. Cold storage birds
are commonly packed SO closely that
the wings remain pressed against the
body even after the birds have been
unpacked for some time. They can
usually be distinguished by the
squeezed look from fresh birds, which
should lie or hang in a natural posi-.
ton.
One Of the commonest ways of test
ing the age of dressed poultry is to
take the end of the breastbone farth-
est from the head between thumb and
finger and attempt to bend it to one
side. In a very young bird, say a
"broiler" chicken or a green goose,
it will be easily bent, like the CART.
lage In the human ear; in a bird a
year or so old it will be brittle, and
in an old bird tough and hard to bend
or break. II the feet are left on the
carcass they furnish test of the
age. In a young bird they are soft
and smooth, becoming hard and rough
as the bird grows older. The claws
are short and sharp in young bird,
becoming longer and blunter with age
and use. The spur above the foot ia
also to be observed; when the bird
is very young, like ''broiler" chick.
en-, it is hardly apparent: a few
months later it is long, but straight,
in a mature state it is larger still and
crooked at the end. It is more de-
veloped in males than in females and
capons. Turkeys up to year old
are said to have black feet, which
grow up TO three years old and then
turn gradually gray and dull. The age
Of pigeons can sometimes be told by
the color of the breast. In squads
the flesh looks whitish as seen
through the skin, but becomes more
and more purplish as the birds grow
older. Red feet are said to be sign
OF age in q pigeon.

Some Common Orchard Scale Insects.
The Ohio Experiment Station is re.
ceiving from all parts of the state
twigs OF fruit trees infested with one
or the other of the three following
scale insects:
l. The Oyster-shell scale: This is a
reddish or grayish brown scale, about
an eighth Of an inch in length, point.
ed at one end and curved in shape,
suggesting minute, elongated oyster.
shell. Its winter form is hard scale,
covering and protecting a number Of
minute, white eggs. These eggs hatch
during the fore part of June, and the
yellowish young crawl about for few
days and then fix themselves by in.
sorting their beaks in the bark and
begin sucking the sap At this time
they may be destroyed by spraying
with kerosene emulsion, the formula
for which is given in the Station spray
calendars, which are sent free on ap.
plication.
Experiments made by the Canada
Experiment Farms have shown that
this scale may also be controlled by
the use of lime mixed with water at
the rate of one or two pounds of lime
to gallon of water. This should be
done as early in the winter as posi-
BILE. The lime loosens the scales, after
which the rain removes them and de.
stroys the eggs.
2. The Scurfy scale: This insect is
somewhat smaller than the oyster.
shell scale, and is more nearly round
in shape. 1t is more conspicuous be.
cause of its white color. It's habits
and the means for it's control are sim
liar to those of the oyster-shell scale.
Neither of these scales is likely to
cause much injury in orchards which
are thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture
3. The San Jose scale: This scale
is much smaller than either Of the 9TH
ers named. 1t is nearly round in shape,
at first white but later dark gray in
color and is easily recognized by a
minute central nipple, which is lighter
colored, often yellow. To identify
this scale small magnifying glass is
necessary. This insect is far more de-
structive than either of the others
named. Its appearance in the orchard
means the eventual destruction of the
orchard unless vigorous treatment is
adopted. The best method of treat
ment yet discovered is the lime-sul-
phur-salt spray.
