UnquestOnably the most potent fac
tor in successful agriculture is soil fer
tiity. Yet the soils richness is rarely
guarded with that care it demands.
The restoring Of worn soils and the
maintaining of present fertility should
be study for all farmers.
Without doubt the best means of en-
riching the soil is by the use of barn
yard manure. Few farmers make but
small portion of what they need.
The best results, we believe, can be OBJ
tanned by the application Of manure
with Spreader on young clover the
fall after seeding at the rate Of ten
loads per acre. This stimulates Won
derful growth in the plant; adds n
great amount of hUmus, which COM
mercial fertilizers do not supply, and
which is sadly wanting in most clay
soils. Manures should be spread as
made, if possible without injury to the
ground by passing of team over it.,
Summer made manure, il spread late
in fall. has a double value to the young
clover plant 1t stimulates an early
and vigorous spring growth and forms
mulch for winter protection.
The common practice of letting Win
ter made manure accumulate, to be
hauled on bare ground and turned
deeply into the soil, is wastful one
and should be discouraged. Every
thing that adds humus should be in
corporated with the soil. Clover haulm,
trampled straw ricks, all kinds of bed
ding, leaves and stubble should be
plowed under. Dry straw will return
a profit if turned under on heavy soils.

RAISING SOUNDS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Most OF our readers remember the
Belgian hare craze and the wonderful
stories told Of the fortunes to be made
In raising the rabbit, remarks the In
dlanapolis News. Then came the
slump, and, as usual, the rural resi-
dent paid the high price for the
whistle. Now we seem destined to
have similar craze in the squab-
raising line. The truth Of the matter
Is this: There is a certain demand for
squads, and they are sold Mt high
prices in restaurants, but that any
man, woman or child can raise them so
profitably as TO make Il business OF
It, Is claiming too much, TO put it
mildly.
There are dozens of things which
will upset ones calculations in squab-
raising, and ten or Il dozen pairs OF
squads are not raised from each mat
ing in year any more than the ben
catches out thirteen eggs because she
covers that number. That there is
money in squab-ralsing, IS admitted,
but the profit will be made by those
who 90 at the work carefully, gaining
experience as they 20 and closely man
aging their business. Try it If you
want to, but don't expect fortune or
even good living from the work un-

Farmers Must Farm Better.


Farmers must farm better, put more
of their lands into meadows and per.
manent pastures, grow more stock,
make, save and apply more manure,
plow less, cultivate better, grow larger
crops of better quality, and prepare
them TO meet the demands of the mar
ket; grow relatively less OF the staple
agricultural crops whose prices are
fixed by the poems and serfs of the
cheap lands of the world. Farmers
should realize that it is more profitable
to allow part of their land to lie
in permanent pastures than to grow
crops and sell for less than cost. Mines
are closed, and the wheels of factories
cease to revOlve when they cease TO
yield profit. Why should not farmers
act on the same principle?
In the matter of cheapening of pro-
duction. Farmers must know their
soil, their domestic animals; must read
agricultural papers. study the expert
mental bulletins published by Govern
mcnt, State and agricultural colleges;
must be close students of soils, domcs-
tic animals, climatic conditions, and
should have technical as well as prac-
tical knowledge. All the oranges of
the United States should appoint each
member of their oranges to conduct a
series Of experiments, not for one year,
but every year, Of all crops, including

LIME AND SrLpHuR DIP.

Some inquiry into the effectiveness
and effect Of the lime and sulphur dip
on sheep and their wool, where the
former are affected with scabicS, de-
velops the fact that the Government
dip as recommended by Dr.. Salmon of
the Department Of Agriculture is II
sure cure for scabics, if properly pre-
pared; but that it is ruinous on the
wool when sheep are dipped shortly
before sheariug. The proprietor of
one of the Minneapolis wool buying es.
Establishments, the Northwestern Fur
and Hide Company, says that lime and
sulphur wool brought six cents below
market price and that it was harsh
and inferior, while the wool of sheep
subjected to other dips was not deter
ioratcd by the process. The sheepmen
of Montana make the same statement
in effect, but say that lime ana sulphur
should be used only Immediately fol-
lowing shearing, after any cuts made
by the shears have healed up, and be-
fore the wool has grown out. If the
scabes require dipping during the
growth of the wool, other dips than
the lime mixture should be used. with
the wool short we are informed that
the lime and sulphur dip is Il very
cheap, effective and satisfactory rem
edy for scab; the formula for making,
however, must be nicely observed The
sheep are swum the length of Il trough
full of the mixture, requiring three
minutes, and are thrice entirely sub
merged as they pass along. \ second
dipping is given within ten days 10
destroy any remaining yestiges of the
parasites. No loss occurs to the sheep,
unless they are dipped too soon fol-
lowing shearing. 1t is best TO use other
dips, as they DO not hurt the wool.
and are equally effective in scabies
