The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1905-12-06
Practical Farm Experiments.

OF the various publications of the
Department of Agriculture the most
useful and probably the most popular
is a farmers bulletin issued five OF
six times a year on experiment station
work. practical Farm Experiments
would probably be a comprehensive
title for these bulletins, as each
pamphlet of about 80 pages is com
posed of a dozen or fifteen short de-
Scriptions of practical farm matters
the outcome of the experiments and
tests of the yariocs government ex-
pertinent stations all over the country
Their value lies largely in the fact
that each article is only couple of
pages in length and it can be picked
up and read through at odd moments
whereas when a farmer receives a
longer bulletin he is more likely to lay
it away for some future reading when
he has more time, and as time is usu-
ally pressing on the farm, it is likely
never to get read at all.
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 is the
last issue of these bulletins and its lit
tie stories are decidedly interesting
Information given on the root system
of field crops will be surprise to
probably even some of the best in
formed farmers An illustration is
shown of corn roots as they occupy
the ground in the corn rows. 1t shows
a myriad of small rootlets, entirely en-
comprising the ground in every direc-
ton for depth of almost four feet
The root systems of various other
plants are described Wheat roots oc-
cupy the ground to depth of four
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1905-12-06

feet. Flax roots go down three and
four feet. Grass roots, four to six
feet. Red clover completely occupies
the upper three feet Of soil. Crimson
clover roots in single year grow
three feet. Alfalfa roots go to the
enormous depth of twenty to thirty
feet. All of which may give some
farmers new ideas as to cultivation
which breaks the roots of plants, and
the distance at which to plant When
late potato hills are three feet apart
each way the soil is very fully occu-
pied by the roots to a depth of three
feet. Each potato hill, therefore, oc-
cupies twenty-seVen cubit feet of soil.
Salt Not Needed For Asparagus.
Another short article is on the Prop
err Fertilizers for Asparagus. Although
salt has been considered a tme-hon-
ored necessity for this crop, it has
been found that asparagus will yield
as we'll without as with it except for
the fact that the salt prevents the
growth of weeds.
Growing Mushrooms for Home Use,
is another short article and Onion
Culture covers another. Another
short article gives the remarkable re-
suits of forcing early rhubarb with
ether.
Raising Calves on Skim Milk, sup
plemented, of course, by grain, is an
instructive little article, covering the
results of experiments in this line in
the government stations in Iowa, Ida
no, Kansas, Nebraska and Utah. En-
tire success has been had with the
skim milk diet and the practice is
considered even more desirable by
some authorities than allowing the
youngsters to have natural milk.
Other topics discussed are Noodles,
la product prepared by European
housewives and some manufacturers
from -four with the addition of a GER
tain amount of eggs and salt. the
dough being rolled into sheets and cut
into strips or fanciful shapes: Condi-
ton Powders and Special Stimulating
leeds for Fowls and Farm Animals;
the Relative Cost of Producing Meat
from the Beef Type end The D9ily
Type Of Cattle; the Use of Animal
Food for Young Ducks, showing the
gains of ducklings on rations contain
ing different proportions of animal
food; the Bad Effect of Using Milk
from Diseased Cows and the Produc-
ton of Cider Vinegar.
This is a free bulletin and applica-
ton should be made to your senator
or member of congress, or to Secre-
tary James Wilson at Washington.

OLD AGE PENSION.
Much Attention Given in France to
the Care of the INDECENT.

France evidently does not believe
that the old should be chloroformed
and put out of the way, for, according
to official reports received from United
States officials located at Paris, that
government has a system of pension
ing for the aged. For more than a
century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
giving an annuity to the old, not, how
ever with entire success.
At the present time deposits are re
ce1yed from any person, regardless OF
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs >($96.50) in the course of a
year. An "count may be opened for a
child of three years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without her
husbands consent. At any age be.
tween fifty and sixty-fve Cor earlier
in case of permanent disability tc
work. the deposition may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according tc
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1905-12-06

the cmount of his deposit and interest
and the probabilities &C life, but the
annuity may not exceed 1920 francs
(S231.60).
In rural districts the tax gatherer is
empowered to receive deposits, and in
many factories certain percentage is
deducted from the wages and paid to
the CaisSe in the workman's name. A
branch of the Caisse may be founded
in any town or village, with the per-
mission of the project of the depart
ment, and there are about 1890 of such
branches, with nearly 100000 de-
poSitors.
There are several large institutions
for the care of the INDECENT aged. Some
of these are free and a. others small
charge is made for board and lodging.
At Issy, near Paris, is an institution
for widowers, widows, or married
couples, of whom both are over sixty
five years of age and who have been
married at least fifteen years.
There are many small institutions
founded by private persons for old
officials, at some Of which the charge

plants, representing about 100 diff
erent varieties. Many of these are
the product of the govCrnment's gar
deners, artificial pollenation and cross
breeding valuable varieties, bringing
about most startling results. This
year the most successful of the de-
partments efforts is a magnificent vel
low flower fully ten inches in dame
ter. The petals are extremely heavy,
well shaped and all in all the bloom
is a huge ball of molten gold. The
flower is not merely one for show;
florists who have seen it declare that
it is of much commercial value.
The Mrs. Roosevelt Chrysanthemum.
Secretary Wilson was so pleased
with this Seeding of 1905" that he
authorized it named Mrs. Roosevelt,
in honor of the first lady of the land.
But the departments experiments
along the line of chrysanthemum
crossing are not always a success.
Last spring efforts were made to
cross two varieties-Merza and Lieu
tenant-Colonel Du Croisset-the lar
gest of the white and yellow kinds
with the hope of producing a combina-
ton of value. When the flower of the
new plant unfolded itself it presented
an ugly mass of brown, red, yellow
and white, and of but ordinary size.
1t had gone back. Other hybrids have
a tendency to go back to single petal
varieties and to distinctly different
color from the parents. And yet each
year the efforts of the government
gardeners are rewarded, even though
they produce one good specimen, by
obtaining a chrysanthemum of rare
beauty and shape.
Good Grating.
A plant at the Departments show
this year which attracted more than
usual attention was a specimen about
