Hot Water in the Dairy.

Hot water should be freely used in
the dairy in the place of warm water
or luke-warm water. The lukewarm
water is less effective in its work. 1t
is claimed that hot water is even more
effective in the cleansing of some dairy
utensils than is steam, as the steam
condenses when it cools and the mois-
ture that fails on the sides of the
utensils, if they are shut up, causes
them to rust. Hot water causes the
metal utensils to become so hot that
they dry off almost instantly when
they are taken out of the water.
We are convinced that hot water is
not used to the extent it should be.
It is a perfect germicide If it is left
in contact with the utensils long
enough to bring everything up to near
the boiling degree. When cold dishes
are dropped into hot water it is quick
ly cooled off, and SO is soon reduced
below the point where germs are kill
ed. 1t takes at least 140 degrees to
kill typhoid germs and more that that
to kill the germs of tuberculosis, and
even still greater heat tosdispose of
all the spores of the various kinds of
ferments.
If person will have the water just
as hot as the hands can be put into
and not be scalded and then put in a
thermometer, the temperature will be
found to be from 115 to 120 degrees.
1t takes 20 more degrees of heat to
kill the weakest of the germs we fear.
Water at $50 degrees appears to be
very hot to the one that is using it,
and that is the trouble. The so-called
hot water is really more than so de-
grees below the boiling point oft
times. Such water does not fully do
the work intended to be done. The
thermometer is the only safe indicator
of the degree of heat in the water.
The dairy should be equipped with
some kind of apparatus for furnishing
a good lot of hot water at short notice.
There are laundry stoves with coils
in them. These can be connected
with a common forty-gallon boiler and
used to give water where considerable
quantities are needed. The invest
ment is but a small matter, and the
results are most excellent.

Nitrouen Fertilizers.

Maryland station experiments with
nitrogenous fertilizers are published in
a bulletin that discusses the early use
of nitrogenous fertilizers, the i'm
portance of nitrogen as a plant food,
loss of nitrogen from the soil. general
conditions indicating the need OF
nitrogen, quantity of nitrogen annually
removed from Maryland farms, the or
igin and supply of nitrogen in soils,
condition of the nitrogen of soils,
nitrification, sources of nitrogen, the
use of the free nitrogen Of the atmos-
phere by plants, and artificial inocu-
lation.
The object was to compare different
times of applying nitrate of soda, just
before planting with and without lime,
at period of most active growth, and
one-half before planting and one-half
at a time of most active growth, to test
the comparative effects of nitrate OF
soda and sulphate of ammonia and OF
lime applied with ammonia and OF
lime applied with mineral sources OF
nitrogen, to compare nitrate of soda
combined with sulphate Of potash with
nitrate of potash, to compare different
sources of organic nitrogen, including
dried blood, raw and dissolved hair
waste, bone tankage, dried fish, cotton
seed meal and stable manure, and to
test the effect of treating hair and
'S~S,aer waste with acid.
The materials were applied in
mounts supplying S2 pounds of nitro
yer per acre. The crops for which
iata are given are corn, wheat and
hay.
The results in general favor the ap-
lication of nitrate of soda before
ianting rather than after the crop is
partially grown, and indicate that
top-dressing of this substance pays
well as a rule on wheat which for any
cause, either poor land or from late
seeding. is backward in the spring,
although its use is of doubtful benefit
on land which is well supplied with
plant food.
Nitrate of soda gave uniformly and
decidedly better results than sulphate
of ammonia, both with and without
lime.
Nitrate of potash gave better results
than nitrate OF soda combined with a
potash salt (sulphate), but the advan-
tage was not great enough to warrant
the difference in cost which usually
prevails.
The organic sources Of nitrogen
were not as active as nitrate Of soda.

Cooked Meat for Poultry.

In the poultry test conducted in
this state under the management of
Cornell university, the winning fowls
were largely, if not almost entirely
fed upon wheat and cooked meat. The
one in charge of the fowls was able to
secure this meat at very little cost,
and the fowls were fed about all they
would eat of this, the result being
that the birds fed upon the cooked
meat were credited with the largest
egg yield in the test.-New York

move the house than to have rebuilt

Paderewslii, the famous pianist,

journey by land or sea, but apart from
these his two hands are regularly in
sured from year to year. He pays
$4,000 annually in this way, with the
result that If anything went wrong
with one of his precious hands at any
time so that he could no longer earn
an income by his playing, he would be
paid $4,000 cash.
An English paper tells how on one

1t was to be great celebration. The

meeting, had arranged a fine dinner
for the guest of honor. A distingu-
ished assembly surrounded the table,
and at the right of the host sat Mr.,
Chamberlain. For couple of hours
the company chatted over their food,
and finally, the coffee was served. II
was at this juncture that the mayor
leaned over and whispered to Mn
Chamberlain: your excellency, shall
we let the crowd enjoy itself while
longer; or had we better have youi

SAVE THE TOPEKA DYKES.
Correspondent Also Advises Opening
New Creek Outlet.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
There is no doubt that the dykes
saved North Topeka from an inundation
last Friday and Saturday from Soldier
About the time that the dykes were in
danger and about giving away the wa
ter ceased to rise and then began TO fall
gradually. This fall saved the dykes.
The fall was caused by the creek
breaking through to the river right op-
posite the waterworks pumping station.
This cut is about 80 feet wide and the
rush of water was such that 1T tore
down big trees. There were other
places where the creek cut through to
the river, but it was clearly this big
break that relieved the pressure and
saved the dykes and North Topeka from
flood. 1t also was the cause OF saving
considerable corn, by draining the wa
ter off the low lying lands north of the
river that would otherwise have stood
there for quite while.
Would it not be wise to now keep
this channel open, scrape out the bed
and make dykes on each side, also have
the u. P. railroad bridge the cut in
stead of rebuilding their embankment.
1t looks as though this ought to be done
! even if the county commissioners had
| to buy the land. 1t also looks as though
the property owners ought for this pur-
| pose to accept quite nominal sum for
| the strip that is washed out If pur-
| chased for the use of maintaining an
outlet from the creek. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that the dykes
kept the water out of North Topeka,
now the thing to do is to protect the
dykes and make them permanent. In
| addition to keeping open and dyking
this new cut it would be we'll to plant
willows all along the inside base of the
dykes and to get a good growth of Eng
'ish meadow blue grass sod all over the
dykes as soon as same can be grown
| from seed. This sod is not killed by
high water and will prevent the dykes
from washing away once the sod is
| firmly esta blshed.
