by the feeding tables that her ration

fond of alfalfa hay, and ate more by
far than any other cow in the test;
and, together with corn meal and oats,
would respond more readily to these
than with any other food stuffs.
IF it happened that oats had been
rolled and the hulls removed, so much
the better. This was her great sin.
Even though rolled oats could be pur-

the same money as ground oats, it was

About Apple Trees.

Mr.. E. A. Seasons, an orchardlst OIL
Madison, Ohio, gives us the following
interesting experience with apple
trees:
This being an off year of my Bald
win trees. 1 decided to experiment
with them, and gave each OF two
trees, as early in the spring as frost
permitted, an application OF two
pounds each of fine ground bone and
muriate of potash. The middle OF
April about two pounds of nitrate OF
soda was scattered under each. Two
adjacent trees Of the same variety
were left untertilized. With the COM
ing of the leaves the effects OF the
fertilizers were apparent. The trees
which were fertilized produced glossy,
dak green foliage, and the fruit was
much above the average Of size IN
other years, or a most brilliant color
and Of the finest eating quality, ana
exceeded the quantity produced by the
untreated trees, whose fruit was OF
inferior quality, small, tough and, to
some extent, scabby. On the untreat-
ed trees the early foliage was SICK
" color and very slow in appearing,
as were the blossoms, which were not
at all abundant.-Up-to-Date Farming.

Value of Irrigation.

'The most important factor in grow.
ing crops is soil moisture, says Farm
Stock Journal Poor soil will grow
good crops if water is supplied in just
the right quantity at the right time,
while the very best soil will produce
nothing without water.
although agriculture is hundreds OF
years old the minor details have re-
ceived all or nearly all of the consid-
Grafton of agriculturists up to the
present time. The most important OF
all, that of the regulation of soil wat
er has received the least attention.
Experiments on large scale here and
there with irrigation works in sections
of the country where rainfall IS sup
posed to be sufficient also have proved
very profitable.
"The probabilities are that auxiliary
irrigation works for intensive farming
in the near future will receive the at
tention that 1t should. OF course arti.
fetal irrigation in rainy sections OF
the country on large farms in all pro-
liability will be out of reach for prac-
tlcal use. Throughout the thickly set
tied portions of the east and middle
states, especially near large markets,
such crops as strawberries, potatoes,
cabbage, in fact almost all trucking
crops could be grown under irrigation
to advantage. In many places the cost
Of irrigation would be very slight as
the water supply is now going to
waste through small or large streams
that could be run by gravitating to
the land or lifted at slight expense by
wind or power. The necessity OF
growing larger crops Is becoming more
pronounced every year. Experiment
stations are working out problems in
irrigation and sub-irrigation that are
extremely interesting. In southern
sections, where two or three crops may
be grown on the same land within the
year, returns would be better than In
the north, where only one crop usual
ly Is growL. But some means for
increasing the output of land on the
smaller farms and in trucking districts
must come soon.
"a great deal has been done OF late
years to conserve the natural rain
fall with the result that better. crops
are grown simply by better cultivation.
The habit of keeping the ground loose
on top to prevent evaporation is grow.
ing and extending each year. The val
ue of rotation to prevent plentiful
supply Of humus also is recognized by
better farmers everywhere. 1t is now
well known that soil containing plen-
ty of humus also contains sufficient
moisture for the needs Of all crops
when rainfall is abundant. When the
soil is very loose water is not brought
up from below with sufficient rapidity
to feed the roots of growing plants. In
such soils probably no means of sup
plying moisture will be found until ir-
rigation is tried. But other soils hav-
ing clay subsoil. and furnished with
sufficient humus the moisture question
is easier
