Fruit Trees in Iowa.

The distribution of fruit producing
trees and plants in Iowa is very un-
even. Dividing the state into four sec-
tions, northeast, northwest. southeast
and southwest, we have. according to
a late investigation by the Iowa crop
service, the following distribution:
Apple trees, 6.s6s,5ss in the state.
of which 100000 are in the south
west, and 1.S94.00O in the southeast
making total of 4.794.00O in the south
half of the state.
Plums, 1,302,271 trees. of which 49,
900 are in the southwest and $4,000
in the southeast. and 346.000 in the
northwest. This distribution of plum
trees is seen to be largely in the west
ern part of the state. The Americana
plums are able to bear the hard condi-
tions existing there.
Cherries 791 1927 trees. OF which $780,
900 are in the southwest, $1,000 in
the southeast, 100000 In the north
west.
Peaches, 516.145 trees. of which $685..
900 are in the south half.
Pears. 104.046 trees. of which g..
800 are in the southeast.
The above figures are food for

Grating Chestnut Sprouts.

Andrew S. Fuller. writing on the
grating of chestnut sprouts, says. In
grating the vigorous sprouts that al
ways spring up from the stumps of
old trees that have been recently cut
down, we may reasonably expect
prodigious growth of the scion the
first season, as well as in succeeding
ones, and If all goes well with them
we will secure large bearing trees in
very few years. But such stocks
are only available where old trees are
sacrificed for their timber or other pur-
poses. Having a few such sprouts
on my place, they have been utilized
from time to time in testing some of
the newer varieties of chestnuts. In
one instance | allowed the scion, set
on a sprout about one inch in dame
ter, six feet from the base, to grow
unchecked throughout the season. as
it was in a protected position. In the
fall the entire length of the main
stem and lateral branches was sixty

Wby Trees Lean North.

In this climate young trees are liable
to lean away from the sun, toward the
north or east. The best way to keep
them straight is not to set them so
they lean toward the sun but to keep
them in balance by winter pruning 1t
will be observed that the limbs on the
north side tend to grow faster than
those on the sunny side. In some
varieties the southern limbs turn to-
ward the trunk of the tree, away from
the intense sunlight, while the north
ern limbs spread we'll out away from
the body of the tree. Shortening the
limbs on the north side equalizes the
weight of the head of the tree so 1t
will not tip to the north.-Prof. ]. C.

When to Cut Alfalfa.

In order to get the most out of
the alfalfa crop it should be cut
when in full bloom, and this time
covers about week. The man
that has a large field to cut must
keep in mind the fact that he must
begin early to get the hay down be-
fore the heads get too old. A good
many experiments have been made to
discover the very best time for the
cutting in relation to the digestibility
and greatest amount of nutritive con-
t.sts. Too early cutting gives good
dekree of digestibility, but too little
nutriment, and late cutting gives large
nutritive content but too little diges-
tibility.

Adulteratina Dairy Products.

The adulteration of dairy products
does not mean only the putting in OF
bulky substances to deceive the Gus
toner that finally buys them. the
term has much broader meaning III
the view of the law-making powers
that have attempted to deal with the
subject. Milk may be adulterated py
the addition of water and that is the
most common way of adulterating IT,
but the man that adds any preserSa-
tive adulterates his milk and is biam-
able under the law. The adulteratioh
with preservatives is more harmlu'
to the people than the adulteration py
means OF added water. When tne
water is added a little money Is
flched from the pocket of the CON
sumer, but in adulterating by means
of adding formaldehyde the producer
takes the health away from the one
that uses it. II the adulteration De

Adulteration of butter consists gen.
orally of adding what is known as
neutral oil and selling it for butterfat.
But OF late years other kinds OF adui-
terations have been brought in, many
of which are more subtle than that OF
adding a foreign substance to the but
ter. One kind of adulteration is to
add more water than the butter would
naturally contain by working the but
ter at high temperature. second
kind of adulteration is done by churn-
ing at high temperature, thus add
ing large quantity of casein with
the butterfat. The resultant butter
is largely cheese and will develop a
cheesey flavor in a few weeks II not
used. In either case direct fraud has
been committed on the consumer. Not
only should every honest man refrain
from adulterating his butter. but the
officers of the law should be keen in
hunting out violators of the law
against adulteration.
The common way of adulterating
cheese has been to add neutral oil
and other compounds not butter or
casein to take the place of butter fat
that had been removed. That has
been largely stopped by the officials.
but the new way is to skim of part OF
the butter-fat from the milk that is to
be made into cheese, giving full
cream" cheese that is not full cream,
but has in 1t too much casein. 1t Is. in
reality, skim cheese. even though
the milk from which it is made may
be what is known as a three per
cent" milk.

II Is a mistake to suppose that hf1ls
never need to be tiled. Where the
soil is sandy 1t is of course not neces-

soil and the subsoil are both OF

seems to have worked down into the
subsoil and formed an impervious
layer about as hard as cement,
through which the water could pass
at any time of year. In another heid
of this nature the drains had to be
blasted through a conglomerate for
nation of rotten rock.
But in most cases the sandy soils
will take care of themselves, and only
the clayey soils on hillsides need
much attention. There are numerous
hillsides where the soil is OF such
texture that the water is very slow In
drying out in the spring and at the
ends of the outcropping layers OF clay
the soil is so sprinGy that in some
cases small living springs are found
The hills have one advantage for
tiling that the level plains do not
have. and that is very decided fall
1T takes less science to lay tiles that
will carry water down a hill than to
ilay tiles on level or nearly level
plain. The use of drains. whether tie
or otherwise. will make many of our
hillsides and slopes much earlier in
the spring and prevent the coming

Science of the Balanced Ration.

AT a convention of dairymen, in a
discussion of the balanced ration. a
speaker said:
All animals require in the food
enough substance to meet the ex-
penses of the body in carrying on its
physiological functions. Every move
ment OF muscle. the beating of the
heart, breathing. ETC., requires the
expenditure of energy that comes
largely from certain compounds in
the food. which compounds we call
protein. We know then that II an
animal is to live and work, the food
must contain protein sufficient to
meet their constant expenses. The
harder an animal works the greater
these expenses, hence the more pro-
tein must the food contain.
Again, we give carbohydrates and
fats to accomplish another purpose.
The temperature Of COW is constant.
practically at 9S deg. F. 1t is constant
in man at the same mark. How essen
tial IL is that this constant tempera-
ture be maintained is very apparent
in the human system when we realize
that one-half degree below normal
gives us chill. while one-half to one
degree above normal gives us a fever.
either condition incapacitating the
man for work. II We should attempt
to keep the temperature OF box the
size of cow at 9S deg F. by the aid
of an oil lamp we would soon be
made aware of the immense amount
of heat thus required. The animal
herself is constantly keeping up this
enormous expenditure of heat, but she
has only one source upon which to
draw and that is manifestly the food
consumed. The peculiar functions OF
the carbohydrates and fats is to keep
| up the body supply of heat. in fact
they are more efficient as heat pro-
| ducers than are the other compounds
| of the food. The science of a bal
anced ration then consists in supply
| ing enough protein to take care of
the daily waste of protoplasm to the
| animals body and in supplying a
| sufficient amount of carbohydrates
| and fats to maintain the temperature
| of the animals body.
