In his annual report State Game
Warden Chapman says: From the
most reliable information obtainable
there were $4,000 deer killed in this
state during the hunting season OF
1903. Sixteen thousand Of this num-
Der were killed in the upper pen
insula. The season of 1904 was not
favorable for the hunter, owing to
the abundance OF snow until late in
the month of November, also the
number of deer appeared to have
greatly diminished in che forests,
and the most careful estimates show
the killing of but 1000 for the last
season. From reports of deputies,
hunters, and woodsmen through
out the upper peninsula it is evident
that the number of wolves has great
ly increased in almost every locality
10 the north country.

HUMUS IN THE SOIL.
The Amount in Different Sections
Varies Greatly-Too Much
Is Detrimental.


A bulletin Of the Delaware station
says: The amount OF humus In DIFF
ferent soils varies greatly far more
than any other constituent In many
cases # IS a fraction Of one per cent,
and in others more than half Of the
soil by weight, even as much as three
quarters. These very rich soils, the
so-called black earths, are OF course
exceptions, due TO dead vegetation ac-
cumulated through many years. Il is
questionable whether mere mounds
Of such decaying vegetation are prop
erly to be called soils. The famous
"black earths' Of Russia average much
less than ten per cent. Of humus. The
prairie soils of the west run over five
per cent Excellent agricultural soils
contain less than two per cent More
than 10 per cent is considered detri-
mental as affecting the water-holdlng
power OF the soil unfavorably, and
probably In most cases even much less
than this will be harmful rather than
beneficial Most Of our common farm
land in the east has less than two per
cent Only IN exceptional cases. such
as market gardens. truck patches and
the like, is this amount exceeded.

FARM NOTES.

In the making Of cornstarch about
100000 bushels Of corn are now used
annually.
The corn plant is a deep feeder, and
the soil on which It is grown should be
loosened deeply.
The arsa OF corn land cannot greatly
Increase, but what We have can be made
to produce twice as much as # does at
the present time.
Our farmers must learn 10 utilize
every resource and utilize It completely.
This 10 the secret that has made many q
manufacturer rich.
BY proper preparation Of the land and
judicious cultivation Of the growing crop,
It is possible TO greatly increase the
yield Of any crop grown on the farm.
The department Of agriculture found
by tests that no corn planter will drop
evenly unless the grains are graded to
size. This has led 10 the invention Of
corn graders. When they are used the
planters do accurate work.

HAULING OF MANURE.
Some Suggestions for the Doing Of
This Work in the Win
ter Time.

During the winter every progressive
farmer should be planning and getting
things together TO make work as easy
as possible when springs work begins,
says George c. Reynolds, in the Epit-
omist The farmer who makes ii a
business to haul his barnyard manure
out on the land while covered with
snow is taking one long step towards
putting in a profitable winters work.
This not only makes the work easier,
but on the other hand, gets the manure
where Il will do the most possible good
as a fertilizer. Some farmers are ayerse
TO hauling manure and spreading on
snow, because they think when the
spring break up comes the non-porOus
condition Of the soil permits the wash
ing away of large percentage of the
fertilizer value of manure There is
no question but what a percentage OF
the manure value is lost through wash
ing at this time of the year. but expert
ments go TO show that a much larger
percentage is lost before 1t ever reaches
the field than after it is spread upon
the land. Last winter, feeling hat there
was some reason to believe there might
be more loss caused by washing than
one might suppose, determined TO SET
tie the matter for myself by trying a
little experiment There is no reason
why any farmer need trust to what
others say regarding the matter. when
on his own farm at no expense. ex-
periments can be conducted that will
settle the matter for always. When the
snow is a foot or deeper haul out five
or ten loads on land that is to be
plowed the coming spring and give the
matter a careful test After the snow
has gone down TO about five inches on
the level, haul out like number OF
loads and spread as near as possible
to the manure previously hauled out.
Then again after the snow has all gone,
and the ground settles in the spring.
repeat the same number Of loads near
that which was spread on the snow.
Stake of the strips so that there will
be no mistakes made, and note careful
ly the growth. color and general de-
yelopment of the crop. II it is possible
to have the crop Of corr it will be much
easier to distinguish the difference If
there should be any. The experiment
/ conducted on my own farm proved
very favorable to hauling manure and
spreading on snow, but as all expert
ments do not result the same under
varying conditions advise every farm
er to give the matter a thorough trial
on his own land.
