PRUNING THE GRAPE.
MANURE As A FERTILIZER.

Reliable estimates say that there
are in the United States about 90
100000 horses and mules. G2,5OO 900
cattle. 5O.000,000 hogs and 10000 900
sheep. In one of our former ar
ticles we found that horse would
void. aside from what was lost on
the highways. about pounds of
nitrogen. IS pounds of phosphoric
acid. and 10 pounds of potash in a
year. Figuring these elements at
their market value, We would have
about SIC per year for each horse
and mule. Multiplying this by the
number of horses and mules in the
nation, we find that the annual
value Of the manure voided by these
animals is $320,OOO,OO0 more thar
enough to buy out John ID. Rookie
Teller or j. p. Morgan.
The average milk cow Will voit
about 100 pounds of nitrogen, q
pounds of phosphoric acid, and lO'
pounds of potash in year. CAVE
and young cattle, Of course, Will no
void SO much. 1t is safe to say
however. tina the average per yea
of the 625OO, 900 cattle in the Unit
ed States is not far from so pound

THE FARM.
DAIRY NOTES.

DAIRY NOTES.
One years record is not sufficient
by which to judge COW.
If milk is kept at temperature
of =. degrees, bacteria will not null
tiply in it. They will Increase at
As degrees, and at Go degrees milk
will swarm with them.
Milk from sick COW is only good
for one thing--to throw away.
If butter contains much water it
will absorb many odors,
If you want to get on well with
the hired man, treat him kindly
The same rule applies 70 cows.
There are five million globules OF
butter fat in one drop of milk
The last drop of milk is the best,
so don't leave any in the udder.
New milk should be aerated as
soon as possible after 1t is drawn,
but this should never be done in
the barn. A simple way is to pour
the milk slowly from one pail to an
other several times Bad odors are
thus driven off and a fine butter
flavor is preserved
The first few streams of milk
drawn from the COW should not be
put into the pail Very often they
contain dust and germs that have
accumulated in the ducts during the
day.

would receive benefit of the manure

That scheme of the emperor of China
to give his people a constitution as
soon as they have been educated up to
1t has an innocent look for western
eyes. 1t is taken for granted that
nation which has been ground under
an absolute despotism for centuries
needs to be slowly led toward the
glare of pure democracy. In national
affairs the Celestials haven't even the
semblance of representative govern
ment The emperor is everything and
holds the keys to life, death and for
tune for his subjects. And yet self
government has developed locally in
China to a degree not excelled in any
other country In the world.
The emperors new edict definitely
promises a constitution when the Chi
nese masses come to understand their
relations to the government, meaning
the national government. Heretofore
they have held to the relation of an
agonism-anything to balk, defy and
cheat the central power. In other
countries we call this form of selfish
ness lack of patriotism. But the Chi
nese are intensely patriotic in local
way. They are loyal heart and soul
to the ancestral stamping ground, to
the district and to the province of their
birth. Other districts and provinces
are rival territory and even the enc
my's country, although peopled by Chi
nese. In other words. China knows no
national sentiment Indlvidualism is
there carried to an extreme In one di-
rectlon. The Individual sticks to his
family or clan against all other claims
and interests. His training for clti
zenshlp In nation must be process
of unlearnlng rather than of learning
Schooled for generations to live TO
himself within certain fixed limits. he
must be taught to serve and obey the
state. a problem in education not to be-
solved In day.

The Pacific monthly in 1907

Will be, more than ever, the great
magazine of the West-our West, your
West, Gods country. With brush and
pen its staff of contributors will depict
the best of the West from Alaska to
the canal zone; from the Missouri river
to the Philippines. To do this the IA
nous writer's of the West, the artists of
the West, and its poets, will do their
best work for the Poetic Monthly.

stamps to Bear Names of Postoniee

Postage stamps of the issue of 1917
will be put on sale at 5000 presidential
postoffces and will bear on their face
the name of the state and city in which
the postoffice is situated, says Il Wash
iugton dispatch The chief reason for
this innovation is said at headquarters
that it will help to do away with post
office robberes and make it much
easier to trace criminals. The postof-
flee robbery at Chicago a lew years
ago is good example of the ease with
which stolen postage stamps can be
disposed OF, for no trace of the perpe'
traitors were ever discovered, although
nearly 100000 worth of stamps were
stolen, mostly OF small denominations
Another reason for the change is to de-
termine the amount of business done al
different points, and to prevent padding
through stamps sold at offices to resi-
dents who do business in adjoining
cities.

Since the establishment of Depart
ment of Veterinary Science at the State
College there has been a steady growth
in the number of students in attend
ance as well as a large increase in the
number and variety of cases brought
TO the attention of the students. Early
in the history of the department it was
recognized as essential to have large
clinic for the instruction OF students in
the practical application of the princi-
pies taught in books. Accordingly the
afternoons are devoted TO the holding
of surgical clinics, when all cases pre-
scented are given the knowledge of the
faculty OF veterinarians, free of charge
to the owner.
The method employed has been ex-
tremely satisfactory to the faculty and
the student body and from the constant
increase in the number of cases brought
in for treatment, must be meeting with
the approval of the stock men in gen
eraI. After close examination of the
afflicted animal the case is thoroughly
analysed by the professor and the class
after which diagnosis is given and
the probabilities of relief explained to
the owner. If of a surgical nature, the
operation is usually performed by
student under the immediate supervi-
sion of the professor In this way the
operator and the rest of the class get
the most possible benefit from the work
performed. The operating room in
which the clinics are held is a large,
well-lighted room, equipped with an
operating table, sterilizing apparatus,
and collection of Instruments of the
most improved type. One feature of
the operating room is the maintenance
of absolutely antiseptic conditions.
Bacteria that wander into this oper-
ating room rarely go out alive. The
most absolute cleanliness is also insist
ed upon.
A large and commodious hospital is
maintained in connection with the de-
partment, containing number of stalls
for horses, besides washrooms, etc,
and set of dog kennels and cages for
the smaller animals. Horses and car
riages are kept in readiness at all times
to take students to cases which cannot
be brought to the hospital, thus pre-
senting to the students that phase of a
busy practitioners life - emergency
work-which he would otherwise miss.
That the free clinic is appreciated
most by those who know it best is dem
onstrated by the increasing attendance
from year to year and the fact that
there is hardly town or village in
in this section of the country which
has not at some time had occasion to
forward diseased animals here for
treatment. The splendid opportuni-
ties thus presented to students may be
illustrated by the fact that approx
mately 1000 horses and scores of dogs
are brought here annually for prac-
ticaly every disease known to the vet
Urinary profession.
Another important phase of the work
is the training offered for men who
wish to go into the government service
Since the passage of the new meat in
speclion law the demand for men in
the L. $. Bureau of Animal Industries
has much increased. The training Of
fered by the veterinary department is
particularly adapted to fit men for this
branch OF the civil service,
