ent causing the scientists great
deal of trouble but which ia not
thought of by most people, is, how
are we to restore the nitrogen to the
soil, which has been taken there
from by growing plants, 80 that
man might have food to live upon.
The nitrogen which the soil has
won from the air by the slow &C.
cumulations of washing rains, from
the lightnings of a million storms,
or through the slow transformations
by billions of nitrifying organisms
has been, and is being, taken from
the soil at an enormous rate. We
must either return this to the soil
or starve.
In the olden times natural fertil.
izers were sufficient to meet the de-
mands of the sparse population, &C.
customed to poor food and little of
it. But in these days of rapidly
multiplying civilized man, who re-
quires more and better food, the
natural fertilizers are mere drop
in bucket. This would be 90 if
man would use the sewerage and
drainage OF his towns and vet Eng
land alone hurries down her water
ways in year waste material worth
$8OOOO,OOO on account of it's fertiliz-
ing qualities. Long ago we were
compelled to use three other fertil-
lzers. The first was Peruvian guano.
This substance was produced from
the excrements and remains of sea.
birds deposited in very arid re-.
gion. But this, the sale of which in
1856 amounted to $4,000 tons, TODAY
is nothing at all. We have eaten it
all up. The second fertilizer is am.
moaium sulphate. This is obtained
as by-product in the distillation
of coal tar. But this substance,
which amounts to 10000 tons a year,
is a fixed. quantity. 49,
There is but one substance which
is capable of being used on a world
wide scale. This is the Chile salt
Petre. 1t occurs native on a dry
stretch of land between the. Andes
and the coast hills. 1t has accumu-
lated for countless ages by the soil
reducing it from the nitrogen of the
air and then converting it by nitri-
tying organisms into nitrates. In
1900, ], 1853, 3,O00tons were sold for bout
$37,00O,O00, one.quarter of it passing
into the thousands of nitrogen com.
pounds and the other three
into food through it's fertilizing ac-
ton in agriculture. AT the rate
which it was taken out in 1900, in the
year 1925 there will be no more, and
year or two after that famine will
invade the land of civilized man.
This will be true if present condi.
tions continue.
But upon the phrase eff present
conditions continue" hangs the
whole matter. We have in the en-.
veloping atmosphere an immense
and inexhaustible supply of nitro.

insuring each animal his allowance of
the ration. The V shaped trough is
not well adapted for granting lambs
following weaving and should not be
used
The diagram herewith shows a de-
sign of granting trough we have
adopted ard used for many years with
excellent results. The trough may be
made any length desired. The end
piece is made out of 2x12 inch
plank, followed in the center to light
en- the weight of the rack The bot
tom and side pieces are made of three
fourths inch material. The Stats are
lath nailed six inches apart. The
trough from the ground up is six
inches high, and the rack &c inches
high
The great advantage of this rack
is that the lambs cannot crowd and
the grain is put before them in an
acceptable condition for feeding.

FEED MORE ROOTS.
Stock VIII Keep in Better Appetite
When Supplied with This Ration.

In the United States cattle feeders
have gotten out of the habit of feed.
ing roots to cattle, because of the
abundance of corn and corn fodder
The chemist has also assisted in this
movement by showing that the nutri.
tive value Of roots is not great, as
compared with the nutritive value of
the grains. But roots have a value
greater than that shown by the nu-
tricnts as determined by analysis.
There is digestive value in the acids
and in the bulk that no chemical an
alysls will determine. Roots have a
stimulating effect in that they please
the appetite.
Some roots are still fed TO cattle
i'll the eastern states, where the Gus
tom began far back in the early set
t'ement of the country and has per-
sisted. Two reasons are found for
this. One, the early settlers were
from England, where root feeding was
common; two, the growing of corn is
a more difficult matter than in the
west, where the level fields make the
Use Of machinery possible. In New
I England roots are still raised quite
extensively for stock feeding.
Some object TO the feeding OF tur-
:iips TO dairy cows, but this objection
Is not to be met with IN the feeding
Of beef cattle and Of dry dairy cows.
Doubtless the corn and corn fod der
will be more effective when fed with
roots than fed without roots. Now
that the price OF corn has risen to
such . height. Il is necessary that its
feeding should Be made as effective as
possible.
With the increasing price of land 1t
becomes necessary to make every
acre produce as much feed as possible
A very great tonnage of beets or tur
nips can be grown on an acre of land
II the soil be properly enriched and
properly titled, says Farmers Review
The tops as we'll as the roots can be
fed to beef cattle. The succulent
character Of the roots insures theiI
complete digestion by the cattle
Mangel wurzels are particularly
adapted to feeding, because they are
relished by the cattle and can be
grown in large quantities.

PREVENTING SWINE pIseaQ
Advice by r. A. Craig, Veterinarian,
Indiana Experiment Station.

The heavy loss from disease in hogs
is largely due to transmissible dis
eases. The organisms that produce
this class of disease usually enter tho
body in the feed and inspired air.
Hence, muddy or dusty yards, espe-
cially If overcrowded and filthy, filthy
feeding floors, troughs and hog houses
are largely responsible for the preva-
lence of hog cholera. swine plague, etc.
AS young hogs are less liable to resist
these diseases than healthy, mature
animals, the necessity of using pre-
ventive measures at this season of the
year is of double Importance.
During the spring and summer wal
low holes are formed in the yards and
pastures. In case the hogs run in a
large lot or pasture during the sum-
mer, 1t is often considered unneces-
sary to clean and disinfect the small
yards and hog houses and they be-
come filthy and dusty. Muddy yards
are especially Objectionable, as they
soon become filthy.
If necessary, the sanitary conditions
of the yard can be improved by drain
ing them, keeping the wailow holes
filled in and taking the hogs out for a
few months every year. The unused
lots can be cleaned and put to good
use by blowing and sowing them to
oats, rape, COW peas, etc.
In no place on the farm. are disin-
fectants so necessary as In the hog
houses and yards. Whitewash should
be used about the houses at least once
during the year. Every two or three
weeks the houses, feeding floors,
troughs, etc, should be sprayed with
a disinfectant The tar disinfectants
are the most convenient to use. These
should be used in not less than two
per cent. water solutions. An occa-
sional spraying or dipping of the hogs
in one per cent. water solution
should be practiced.
Young hogs should not be given
crowded quarters. In order to keep
them in a healthy, growing condition,
proper diet should be fed. Healthy
individuals possess a certain amount
of power to resist disease, and this
plays no small part in preventing 1t.
The entrance of disease producing
germs from outside sources should be
carefully guarded against. especially
If hog cholera is present in the neigh
borhood. The danger of carrying the
germs in the mud and filth that may
stick to the shoes of person who has
walked through yards where hogs are
dying of cholera should be recog-
niZed. Dogs, horses, cattle. stray hogs
and wagons may also act as carriers
of disease. The opportunity for crows,
buzzards and dogs to distribute dis
ease is not great in sections Of the
country where the carcasses of the
dead hogs are disposed OF by burying.
Hogs from other herds should be
placed in quarantine for three weeks
before allowing them to mix with the
herd.
Keeping the hogs under the best
sanitary conditions possible and using
the necessary precautions in prevent
ing infection from the outside, is the
most satisfactory method Of avoiding
loss from this class of diseases.

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
EVER since the appointment of the
L. 70 elders over the children of
Israel, there had been trouble brew.
ing In the camp of Israel, for Mir
lam did not propose to be thus
set aside" as she put 1t, without pro-
test. Secretly she cherished the hope
that Moses plan would not work, and
sought every opportunity of discred-
iting the men chosen by Moses. She
was indignant that Moses had tx.
nored both herself and Aaron In the
matter.
She rather suspected that he had
thus chosen to follow the advice of
Jethro, his father.in-law, without con-
sulting her, because he understood her
prejudice against his foreign wife and
her people, and feared that II he
asked her advice--as he should have
done, she thought-she would have
opposed the scheme. And what proved
Irritating to her beyond measure, were
the insinuations which had been
thrown out by many of her intimate
friends that she and Aaron did not
seem to have much to do now" AS
much as to say that they were no
longer to be reckoned as factors in
the leadership OF Israel.
In this way she had nursed her al
legged wrongs and they had grown
under this encouragement until at last
she became convinced that she mus
assert her rights. She found Aaror
quite in sympathy with her feelings
and ready to aid her in any plans sh,
might wish to adopt to counterfeit Moses
influence and authority with the pee
pie. They realized that they coul,
not openly attack the new plan o
administration under the elders, an,
as they searched Moses record the.
found there was nothing they coul,
point to in his leadership which ha,
been unwise or indiscreet.
Everything was all right until tn
coming OF this man Jethro," exclaime,
Miriam, more than ever annoyed be
cause OF the failure to discover
flaw In Moses career.
What right has this uncircumciset
foreigner among us anyway, and VIII.
should he have voice In the affair
OF Israeli" responded Aaron.

GRAIN TROUGH FOR LAMBS.
How One May Be Constructed at
Very Small Expense.

AS soon as the lambs are weaned
grain ration should be supplied to
supplement the nourishment received
from the ewes. In order to supply this
ration In acceptable condition a grain
trough especially constructed so that
every animal may obtain its share
during feeding is desirable.
When lambs are fed grain in ali
open trough where the larger ones
crowd the smaller and weaker ones
away and obtain more of the grain
ration than intended for them, they
are not only preventing the growth of
the latter, but are endangering their
own appetites as we'll
In granting our lambs, says the
Prairie Farmer, we aim to have our
troughs so constructed that every in
dividual has an equal chance, thus

Use Rubber Hose.

One of the New York correspond
ents OF Farm Journal writes: Il have
had quite little experience with the
different wsYs of removing obstruc-
lions from the throats of choking cat
tie, and find that short piece of rub
Der hose is the best thing to use. The
hose admits air, and Is not apt to
slide by the obstruction; therefore 1t
is better than a whip-stock or any
solid instrument"

bers 10 one for the Christian to
study with prayerfui heart

servants to-day there is much
Of Jealousy; much Of spiritual

corning Miriam and Aaron, and
strange that to-day there are
similar dark chapters in the
lives Of Christian workers. How

allowed TO find Judgment In the

heart look with critical eye, and
II is not long ere the tongue is

Judgment Of God may not de-

GREAT NIGHTS AT WHITE OITY
Population to Turn Out En HTasse for
 "DeIuge of Fire.'

Of all the nights of summer none are more charming at the White City than these crystal evenings. With the at- mosphere gently cooled by autumns breath, one feels an invigoration for the healtllful outdoor amusements that is not felt in the city.
 Tonight is the last presentation of the season of the beautiful and costly silverware presents, and a great throng is sure to be on hand.
 There will be plenty of enjoyment for all, as the Baltimore creole cake-wallS- CTS are giving a performance that is a whole vaudeville show in itself Be sides, there are the special skating rink races, reviving the exciting experiences, and joys of a few years ago. Tonight. will be the girls race for gold watch, and jewel case, and many entries have, been made. It will be a barrel of fun in itself to watch the pretty misses gliding swiftly over the floor and mak- ing the difficult turns.
 But the night of nights will be to- morrow night, when Manager Speck will give his third "Deluge of Fire" This has been the talk of the town ever since the first production, and there is no doubt the greatest night crowd of the season will be on hand to witness this grand spectacle of flame and varied pyrotechnics.
 It has been suggested that the whole population turn out en masse as a trib- ute to Manager Speck and an apprecia- tion of the straight class of attractions that he~has offered the people of New Haven and the state this season. This is not a bad idea, and universal re- sponse is assured, judging from the en- thusiasm of the people in town. The ''Deluge of Fire" will be given on a scale of increased grandeur and ex- pense. and the great throng will be treated to a dazzlingIy beautiful and brilliant spectacle.
