Profit In Protein.

Protein is the most expensive ele-
ment of food we can use for dairy
COWS, and for this reason there is a
strong tendency to feed very little
protein and a good deal of the starchy
matter. But it is quite conclusively
proved that if the protein is properly
compounded with the other elements
OF the food it will render the whole
ration cheaper than if the protein had
not been used. This is because in the
usual ~raticn, out of proportion as it
is, the waste Of the fat-forming ma
terials is great. At the Storrs Elk.
pertinent Station recently tests have
been made to see If a ration could be
increased in protein and decreased in
cost. This was proved to be possible.
The protein was increased, and enough
fat.forming material taken off to more
than equal the value of the protein
put in. The result vas a slight in
crease in the milk production at a
slightly lessened cost.
The principle is an important one,
and it is one to which the Farmers
Review has frequently called atten-
ton. Every keeper Of cows can well
afford to get down to the study Of the
components of feeds, by which he will
be able to save money on his feeds,
while o decreasing the production of
milk from his herd. The animals, too,
are left in better condition than they
would be If fed what is known az a
wide" ration,

The Spread of Intelilnence.

The student Of agriculture is often
amazed at the rapidity with which
agricultural information spreads with
one class of people and the great
slowness with which it spreads with
another class. Every new discovery
in the agricultural world is known
very quickly to the progressive, think
ing, studying agriculturist; while the
farmer that cares nothing for what he
calls scientific farming sometimes
does not find out most important
truths till they are almost aged. This
thought is induced by a talk with a
man who has spent most of his life on
a farm and is now living in the shad-
ow of an agricultural college. The
simplest truths, known to the scien-
tifc farming world for twenty years,
were new thoughts to him a week ago.
One of the great obstacles 10 the
spreading of the knowledge of better
methods in farming is the almost in.
superable difficulty of getting that
class of farmers away from worthless
reading matter long enough TO fix
their thoughts on the dry but mo-
m~entous facts connected with the
principles of farming. Some seem to
need a special development in the d.
rection of deep thinking. The situa-
ton is not improved by the great mass
of literary trash that is being daily
thrown into the home of the farmer.

OKLAHOMA oppoRrUNrrlrs

The completion by the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railway OF over $50 miles of railroad in
the Oklahoma Territory, opens up q rich agri-
cultural country OF excellent possibilities, and
gives direct connection between St. Louis,
Hannibal and Kansas City with Oklahoma City,
Shawnee, Guthrie, FL Reno, Enid and other
Oklahoma points. Along the new lines are
located new and growing towns, Cleveland,
Jennings, Gushing. Agra, Falls, Luther and
Maud, situated right in the district OF rich
farming lands, Offering the best of opportunities
for safe and profitable investments. The field
is new and the prices OF farm lands are low.
Few lines OF business are adequately repre-
scented. There are openings of all sorts-for
mill and manufacturing plants. for small stores
OF all kinds, for banks, newspapers and lumber
yards. Mechanics and professional men, both
are in demand. TELL Us WHAT YOU WANT,
how much you have to invest and we will gladly
help you about a good opening.

Sweet Clover (Melilotus).

There is one plant that Is scatter
Ing itself over the country as a weed
that deserves more than passing men,
ton. In most of the country where
1t has appeared only during last years
II is found chiefly along the railroads.
In riding over the Illinois Central
from Chicago to Cairo, a distance OF
52S miles, one sees sweet clover ON
the sides Of the railroad all the way.
Sometimes the patches by the road
side extend into the fields and form
great thickets six and eve feet high.
one gets the impression that the
plant is all over the state, which is
not the case. A few miles away from
the railroads will be found people that
nave never seen sweet clover. Just
how 1t spread so along the railroad
1t is at first hard to understand, as
sweet clover is not transported as a
commercial product. The only con-
clusion possible is that the soil, being
constantly torn by the section men
In grading and making repairs has
lett the road soil in a condition where
the sweet clover seed could take hold
I'M develop into a plant. This was
the more readily done as most seeds
VIII not take hold of such soil. The
seed OF most OF the grasses need to be
protected by a nurse plant to get hold
OF the earth. If they fall on bare soil
exposed to the sun they do not germ
mate, or If they do the germ dies.
Many OF the seeds of grasses are so
light that the little rootlet that starts
pushes up the seed rather than finds
a weight above it hat permits 1t to
force its way into the soil. The nell
lotus seed, however, finds In the bare
SOIL just the place 1t needs. The hot
u favors it, and its seed is heavy
enough to hold itself down while the
rootlet is making its way into the
baked crust. This doubtless explains
why 1t has followed the hard roadside,
Our farmers have not yet learned
the great value of sweet clover. This
may be said of those in the North
more than of the farmers in the South,
Tor the latter have raised this plant as
a Held crop and have fed it extensive
ly. In the North its greatest use may
be found in helping to make hard
land soft and mellow. Bare spots in
the pastures could be made to grow
grass if melilotus seed were first sown
on them. If the land Is limey the
plant will make a good growth and
will send up big stalks while its roots
go deep into the soil, pushing aside
the soil PARTICLES. When these roots
die they leave innumerable channels
in the soil through which soil drainage
is facilitated and air can the more
readily enter.
Sweet clover loves lime, and where
lime is provided it will grow to per-
lection. Land that is sour is lot suit
ed to sweet clover, and this is a
reason why in Southern Illinois it is
found on the railroads and not in the
fields. The soil on the railroads has
been hauled in from a distance and
is evidently rich in lime, while the
soil on the farms in some of the coun.
ties is so acidy that sweet clover
would not grow if it did terminate.

Eindinn the Use Of Land.

Much effort has been wasted trying
to produce certain crops on land en-
tirely unsuited to such crops. 1t some
times happens that a swamp will be re-
claimed and for some years the farm
err will waste seed and labor trying to
grow wheat, especially in the locali-
ties where wheat growing is the fash
ion. Muck and swamp lands may
be we'll used for the growing of corn,
potatoes, onions, celery, millet, buck
wheat and even sugar beets. The
drainage Of such lands should be deep,
for the drying out of wet soil causes
1t to compact considerably, and the
bottom of the drain will be found
above the frost line, IL the tile is not
down deep. An application of potas-
stun will often mean the making Of
land of this character. The wise farm
er will investigate his land SO thor
oughly that he will know the crop that
it will produce in the greatest guam
tity and in the greatest perfection.

Stirrinq Orchard Soils,

The depth of stirring orchard soils
depends on the condition existing
in the orchard. If the trees are
large, and the roots numerous in
the ground, the soil should not
be stirred deeply, the main OBJ
ject being to keep the surface soil
disturbed so that capillarity cannot
take place. With old orchards that
have never been cultivated the
stirring will have to be very shallow,
because the roots of old orchard trees
lie close to the surface, and If they
are disturbed the tree cannot readily
form enough new ones to offset the
losses. The only orchard soil that
may be stirred deeply is the soil in the
young orchard previous to its coming
into bearing. Deep stirring of the soil
will then %pulverize it in advance Of
the growing roots and so encourage
its root extension.

Drainage Laws.

The drainage laws Of the. different
states vary greatly, and some Of
them are very far from being
perfect. More than that, a good
many states have no well-defned laws
regulating the building of outlets for
drainage waters. The laws that have
been enacted are mostly laws that
have been suggested by some circum.
stance that has arisen. They are not
the result of intelligent effort to get a
whole system of just laws enacted.
This was discovered when Iowa farm
ers had a drainage convention called
and began TO get together to discuss
the laws. A convention of such men
is far more able and likely to suggest
needed laws OF this kind than is a poll.
tician working for some particular in.
terest. Every state in the Union
should hold a drainage convention like
the two that have been held In Iowa.

The Hopper Dozer.

Every year grasshoppers or locusts
appear in large numbers In some local.
tiles. One of the best means of de-
stroying them is the hopper dozer, IL
Illustrated here. 1t is simply a kero-
e pan on runners, and having a
high back to prevent the insects fly
ing over it when stirred up by It as
it is drawn through the grass. The
pan is partly flied with water and
some kerosene is added. This floats
on top of the water and kills the
locusts that fall into it. The hopper.
dozer may be made as long as desired,
1t sometimes being l6 to Is feet long.
when drawn by horses. The runners
may be two to eight inches high, ac-
cording to the size OF the grasshop-
pers to be caurnt.
