Among the Emit Trees.

The plum orchard should be found on

PROTEIN VALUE OF ALFALFA
Experiments Show That Latter Con-
tains a Fraction Over Eighteen
Per Cent. of the Former.

There is no food product grown on
the farm which supplies protein at so
low cost as alfalfa. This, too, is OBJ
tanned by enriching rather than de-
pleting the soil, for alfalfa, like other
legumes, is a nitrogen-gathering corp
It's deep-reaching roots, extending
eight to twelve to forty feet below the
surface, bring up fertilizing elements
from the subsoil and place them where
other crops may feed upon them
Experiment shows that alfalfa con-
tains a fraction over IS per cent. of
crude protein. Young alfalfa cut five
months after seeding contained the
lowest per cent. of protein and that cut
after one third of the blossoms had ap-
peared contained the highest per cent.
There is a very decided decline in pro-
tein from the time the first blossoms
appear until the seeds form. There is
much more profit in three early cut
tings of alfalfa than in two over-ripe
cuttings. The leaves are especially
rich in protein and deficient in fiber.
containing twice as much crude pro-
tein and one-fourth to One-half as
much fiber as the stems.

DEHoRNINc YOUNG CALVES
Is Easily and Quickly Done and the
Operation Causes Little Pain
How to Use the Canstic.

Calves two to five days old are easily
and quickly dehorned and the operation
causes little pain, says the Farm and
Home Procure stick of caustic potash
and roll strip of strong paper around
one and to prevent the fingers being in
jured. Slightly moisten the other end
and rub the tip Of the horn firmly for a
half minute, or until the potash has
made slight impression on the center OF
the horn.
The horns should be treated in the
same way two to four times at intervals
of about five minutes. If, during the in
terval of five minutes after one or more
applications little blood appears in the
center of the horn it will then be only
necessary to give another very slight
rubbing with the potash.
The points to be carefully observed
are, not to moisten the stick too much
or the caustic will spread on the skin
around the horn and destroy the flesh.
For the same reason keep the calf from
getting wet for few days after the OPP
Grafton. Be very careful to rub the CEN
ter of the horn and not around the sides
of it, The operation should not be at
tempted on calf over eight or nine days
old. The caustic when not in use must
be kept in an alright bottle.

Increased Traffic.

Increased cotton shipments to
Japan indicate revival of trade con-
ditions in the Orient. Japan mixes
American cotton with the product
from India in manufacturing yarns
for Japanese and Manchurian mar
kets.
Through control of the Burlington,
President Hill is carrying immense
quantities of cotton across the terri
tory traversed by the Hartman lines
and is bringing it to Puget sound
over the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
Heavy cotton shipments during
February made the Puget sound dis
trict the fifth in cotton shipments.
Similar shipments are continuing
through March and April. In the
Tacoma yards are 400 cars of cotton,
500 carloads more are en- route over
the Northern Pacific, and that road s
Oriental warehouses are piled high
with thousands of bales. -, Recent
heavy shipments via Puget sound
show that the Hill roads are carry
ign more cotton west than the Harri-
man lines.

HAY DUST IN THE STABLE.
A Fruitful Source Of Bad Flavor ia
Butter-Precautions Which
Should Be Taken.

Some of the trouble with bad flavor
in butter comes from hay dust in the
stable Before cows are MIXED hay
is thrown down and the air is filled
with fine dust. Much of this dust
was formerly in the highway. 1t was
blown by the wind over the bayfield,
before the grass was cut. This dust
in itself would not produce the bad
flavor, but it is known to be the abid-
ing place of countless myriads Of bac-
terra and much hay contains mold. We
say hay is moldy but we simply mean
that minute plants have multiplied
in countless millions on the hay and
have produced spores which are the
cause of the discoloratiOn. Whenever
such hay is thrown down these spores
are thrown by millions into the air.
They fall by thousands into the milk
vessels and later make their presence
manifest in the milk, cream and but
ter.
The hay is not the only SQUIRE OF
trouble. Bedding under cows fire.
quently contains a very large amount
of dust from the same cause. Such
bedding should not be stirred up be-
fore the COWS are MIXED, or if stirred
up the stable should be aired before
milking take place.

Cultivating Sweet Potatoes,

For cultivating sweet potatoes, one
needs fine-tooth cultiyator, one with
is teeth, or one-horse harrow and
sweep or winged shovel. writes an
Illinois farmer in the Orange Judd
Farmer. The cultivators should have
lever adjustments, so that they can
be opened or closed to suit the varying
widths of the rows. Don't wait until
the weeds have got a start before
beginning to cultivate The sooner
the cultivator and sweep are started
after planting the better for the crop
If possible, never allow a crust to form
after a rain. A good plan is to run
through once between the rows with
the fiEe-tooth cultivator after every
rain. The potatoes can be barred of
with the fine tooth cultivator in halt
the time it takes to do it with a turn
ing pillow.

TRANS-PAcIFIc TRAVEL.
The Great Northern Steamship Com
pany Inaugurates New Era In
Pacific Transportation.

The Great Northern Steamship
Company in placing in service be-
tween Seattle, Wash, and Yokohama.
Nagasaki, Kobe, Shanghai, and Hong
Kong, the magnificent American
built steamships the minnesota and
the Dakota marks new era in
transportation facilities between the
United States and the Orient. The
magnificent steamships with their SUI
perior facilities in handling immense
freight cargoes and the luxurious
appointments for passenger travel
has given an impetus to our Oriental
trade. The North Pacific route to
the Orient is rapidly becoming the
popular one, and now that the two
palatial steamships, the Minnesota"
and Dakota" have been put in COM
mission, there is 10 question but that
a further greater increase in our
trade with the Orient as we'll as in
creased passenger travel to Asiatic
ports will be inaugurated. The first
sailing of the minnesota" in addi-
ton to carrying the largest cargo to
the Orient ever carried by any ship
in the world, as well as an extensive
passenger list, augurs well for the
future.
The minnesota" will sail on it's
next voyage to the Orient on Satur-
day, April goth, and it viii not be
amiss to say that the excellence of
her passenger accommodations will
be heralded to the travelling public
of the United States by all who en-
ioyed the pleasant voyage across the
Pacific on her first trip, as furnish
ing the acme of travel comfort. The
fact that. the superior accommoda-
tons of the Great Northern Steam
ship Company in connection with the
comfortable journey afforded by the
Great Northern Railway to Seattle,
the sailing point of the Minnesota"
will make this route the popular one
from Occident to Orient.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: ID Min
eral.Acid or Alum, (2) BoneAcid or
Phosphate, and (5) Cream OF Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
~ differentiated, or Alum, is madV
from a kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c a pound.
CD BOnc-1cid, or Phosphate, is thf
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
u. S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are. put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and IN the following proportion, .
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
CD Cream Of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is Scraped from the cask, boiled with
water. and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
in baking powder to act upon the
soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

When Bark Is Snlit

After a cold winter it is frequently
found that the bark of the apple, cherry
or plum tree has been split on one side.
In such case where the bark does not
seem to be much loosened, the split
place should be filled with grating wax
and the tree wrapped with piece of old
sack. This will help the tree to recover.
If, however. the bark is loosened all
around the tree there is no chance of
saving it, and it may as well be cut
down.

Value OF Forethought.

The value Of forethought to the
farmer can hardly be overrated One
of the great causes of loss on the
ordinary farm is that the owner is so
pushed by mis- many duties that he
does not take time to sit down and
simply think out his work man is
not always brilliant enough to think
of everything he should unless now
and then he makes business of sit
ting down and planning.

Injured Peach Trees

Where peach buds have been killed
by the cold it is advisable to cut back
into the two or three year old wood. If
the tree was cut back last year, make the
new cut below the old one. taking off
the top growth. This will induce new
growth, which will be in shape for bear
ing next year. This will result in new
head being formed. The more the wood
is discolored the further back should be
the cutting.
