Corn Fodder.

Corn IS the greatest of all fattening
feeds for live stock, but, as Is we'll
known, it will make badly balanced
ration, being deficient in protein. and
consequently not suited as a sole ra-
tion for growing animals.
1t has long been known that differ.
ent samples of corn vary very much
in chemical composition, the softer
and more starchy having a lower pro.
tein content than the flinty varieties,
as 1t is the germ and horny appearing
portions and bran that contain the
protein. Scientific plant breeders have
been busy for several years with at
tempts to develop breeds of corn that
will come nearer yielding we'll bal
anced feed. AS it is we must balance
the corn ration with some food hav-
ing much higher protein content, and
containing less Of carbohydrates and
fat. These efforts have measurably
succeeded, but not perfectly. The ex-
pertinent stations are working on this
problem with every prospect OF ulti-
mate success.-Massachu Plough

Crops For the Orchard.

When the orchard is young and the
soil IS rich it will generally pay to
grow either corn or vegetables for the
years during which the trees are
reaching the stage of fruit bearing.
Corn is one of the best crops to grow,
for the reason that much of its sub
stance Is made up of starch, which is
taken from the air. Then it requires
cultivation and is generally manured,
especially when it is grown in small
way. 1t does not form a mat to keep
the moisture from the roots of the
trees. 1t has the additional good
quality of being largely grown, and,
no matter how large the orchard, the
corn crop can always be used to ad-
vantage. Then the stalks of the corn
plant are serviceable for binding
around the trees for protection
against rodents and sunscald. In the
case of growing corn the rows should
not be run too close to the trees, as
it Is undesirable to draw the fertility
from Immediately around the trees,
and it is also undesirable to culti-
vate close. In this day of low head
ing or fruit trees it will be difficult
to drive very close to the trees with
out injurlng the low dropping
branches.
Potatoes and tomatoes are two
classes of vegetables that may bo
grown in the orchard to advantage,
as both require to be clean culti-
waited. and usually receive good appli.
cations of manure in some form.
Frequently the growing of these
crops pays all the expenses Of
keeping up the orchard. and when the
latter comes into bearing it starts in
without being q debtor to the man
that owns it. Nothing, however,
should be done or grown that will in
any way lnjure the future usefulness
of the orchard.-National Fruit Grow

Miss Jane Addams.

1t Is her habit TO be rather silent,
and yet, curiously enough, she has
brought about her at one time or an
other, the most brilliant thinkers and
takers in the country. At the long
table with its simple fare. where the
residents of Hull House break bread
after their day of diverse duties, have
gathered, first and last, most persons
of original, peculiar, or dominating
thought of the present time. Some
have been refugees, some revolution
lists; some have represented the con-
ventions and have been distinguished
as achievers of modern forms of pros
perlty; some have been passionate the
orists, others heroic demonstrators of
this or that system. But one and all,
speaking in this tongue or that have
done their best to explain and justify
themselves TO Jane Adams. / don't
know why.
Miss Adams has incurred those
penalties which are inevitable to one
who thinks and acts counter to popular
ideas. She has enemies. Hull House
and its policy are not infrequently mis-
represented. At least one newspaper
in Chicago misrepresents the acts of
Hull House with deliberate attempt.
But l really do not think these things
have much effect on the general public,
which has, indeed, reached the point
where it is willing to wait until she
makes her motives and meanings clear.

. A method of raising submarine tor
pedo boats by acetylene is being ex-
perimented upon by rhe German naval
authorities. Large tanks are built in
the boat, with sea connection; when
these are filled with water the boat
will sink, and TO raise her again these
must be emptied, which process. done
in the ordinary way, requires power
full pumps and complicated mechanism.
1t Is evident that multiplication of ma
chlnery is particularly Objectionable
In submarine craft. and the German
method avoids all necessity for pumps.
When 1t is desired to raise the boat, q
charge of calcium carbide of the right
size is placed in an acetylene genera
tor. which is connected TO the water
tanks, an immense volume of gas Is
formed. and on opening cock this
rushes into the water tank, forcing
out the water through the sea con-
nection, and the boat rises.
BY n slight change, this method
could be used for the raising of sunk
en- vessels. Tanks filled with water
could be sunk in the ships hold, and
when the number was sufficient to
float her when empty the water could
be driven out by acetylene and the ship
would rise. A charge of carbide might
be introduced into each tank and form
the gas there, or separate generator
connected TO the tanks might be used.

The cost for food in producing one
pound of poultry meat does not cx-
ceed five cents. This has been dem
onstrated by actual experiments made,
and the profits depend upon the prices
obtained. But there are expenses 9TH
er than for food, such as the eggs used
for Matching, the losses of checks, the
use of the hens during sitting and
brooding, and the care and labor be-
slowed. If the chicks go into the
market before the first of June they
may bring a price anywhere from
twenty to forty cents per pound, ac-
cording to quality, the profits depend
ing not so much on the saving of food,
but in avoiding losses of chicks after
they are hatched.

Packages l. and are the media or

how to use the bacteria, as follows:

ed March 22, 1004)
Pat one gallon of clean water pre-
| ferably rain water) in clean tub or

Carefully open package No. 2 (con-
tanning bacterial and drop the inclosed
| cotton into the solution. Cover the tub
with paper to protect from dust, and
set aside in the warm place for twen-
| ty-four hours. Do not heat the solu-
| ton or you will kill the bacterla-it
| should never be warmer than blood
| heat.
After twentyfour hours add the con-
tents of package No. 8 containing am.
monium phosphate). Within twenty
hours more the solution will have a
cloudy appearance, and it is ready for
use.
To inoculate seed:
Take Just enough of the solution to
thoroughly moisten the seed. Stir thor.
oughly so that all the seeds arc
touched by the solution. Spread out
the seeds in shady place until they
are perfectly dry, and plant at tho
usual time just as you would untreated
seed. The dry cultures sent from
the laboratory will keep for several
months. DO not prepare the liquid
culture more than two or three days
are to be treated. as the solution once
made up must usually be used at the
end of forty-eight hours.
TO inoculate soil:
Take enough dry earth SO that the
solution will merely molsten 1t. Mix
thoroughly, so that all the particles Of
soil are moistened. Thoroughly mix
this earth with four or five times as
much, say half wagon load. Spread
this inoculated soil thlnly and evenly
over the field exactly as II spreading
fertilizer. This should be done just
before plowlng. or else the inoculated
soil should be narrowed In Immediate
ly.
Either Of the above methods may be
used, as may be most convenient
Enough germs are sent in each little
package to inoculate seeds for from
one to four acres. The package can bo
carried In your pocket, and yet does
more work than several cart loads OF
fertilizer. It costs the Government less
than four cents q cake, or less than a
cent an acre. and saves the farmer
thirty or forty dollars. which he would
have to spend for an equal amount
of fertilizer. Different cultures are
sent for different crops. The results
have been surprlsing.-From Gilbert

The best single grain for fattening
sheep Is corn.
When the corn is ripe the sheep
should be yarded and given clover hay,
and light feeding of corn at first.
One-half pound per head can be fed
for a start and increased gradually
until four to five pounds of grain are
consumed a day.
Poor sheep may be able to eat only
one pound each day.
The fat ones should be selected for
market, and the remaining ones fed
until they are in proper condition for
the butcher.
Any Improbable members Of the
flock should be fed and fitted and be
sent to market with the lambs.
If there are ticks on the flock the
sheep should be dipped before going
in the fattening pens or yards.
Let the flock CLEAN the cornfields.
Begin feeding early so the flock do
not run down on poor pasture.
If the pasture is poor the sheep can
be kept in good flesh by feeding lit
tie grain.
Wheat or oats fed in trough, one
to two bushels for one hundred head,
should keep the flock in good shape.
An acre of rape will feed fifteen
lambs about two months.
Corn, oats and oil meal is a good
mixture feed with such foods as rape,
roots, ensllage and turnips.
Never leave the sheep out in the cold
fall rains.
