SCARCITY OF COWS.
Too Many People Have Quit RaisinE
Dairy stock.


Dairy stock.
There is beyond question scarcity
OF good dairy COWS throughout the
middle and eastern states. y dozen
men have asked us iii the last few
weeks where they could go to buy
carload of good cows, and we have
been unable to tell them. We don't
know where good cows are for sale
even In less than carload lots. The
trouble Is that too many people have
quit raising cows.
The milk industry has extended over
wide area formerly devoted to but
ter, and milk producers are not In a
position to raise COWS as a rule. They
have increased their working herds, de-
pending on purchased material, but
they have sacrificed their calves. Veal
prices have been attractive most of the
time, and receipts of calves at market
centers have been constantly increas-
ing Now dairymen find themselves
facing shortage of cows. Unless this
wholesale slaughter of calves is check
ed the situation is bound TO become
worse than it is now.
Profitable dairy cows are not raised
these days except from dairy herds.
Good milking Shorthorn cows used to
be available to dairymen, but they are
scarce now. Shorthorn breeders have
SO largely neglected the milking quail
tiles of their cattle that profitable dali
ry cows of this breed are much harder
to find than they used to be. The other
beef breeds as a rule do not furnish
profitable dairy material. II some dai
rymen do not raise n surplus of cows
where are they to come from in the
future? We believe this point is wor-
thy of careful consideration right now.

No matter what quantity of Dor
deaux mixture is to be made up, it Is
necessary TO strain the materials
through a wire strainer. The best type
Of strainer is made of brass wire With
eighteen or twenty meshes to the inch.
If all the copper solution is strained
and then the milk of lime Is strained
into the dilutlon vessels 1t will not be

SOIL AIR.
why Free Circulation of Air In the
Soil Is Important.

By W. J. STILLMAN.
A proper circulation of mir In the
soil Is just Is important as any other
factor Of pli4t growth Nearly half of
the volume of ordinary soils is occupied
by air spaces. The air spaces in the
soil wind In and out between the soil
particles, just as they do in pile OF
larger stones If the layer of water
on the surface of the soil grains be-
comes so thick as to stop the air pas
sages here and there the soil is then
too wet for most crops and needs drain
age. Plants have no special breathing
organs, the oxygen required In their
breathing finding entrance all over the
surface of the plant Plant roots must
therefore he supplied with air, and
hence the soil must he porous enough
to permit of free circulation of air. A
good supply of humus aud proper till
age will accomplish this result In clay
soils. Sandy soils are usually too por-
Gus, needing humus to help them re-
tain water
Oxygen Needed In the Soil.
Another reason why air must circu-
late freely in the soil is that large
quantities of oxygen are required to
insure proper decay of organic matter
to supply plant food; also carbonlc
acid gas is produced by the decay of
organic matter, and this must escape
easily to make room for the atmospher-
ic oxygen needed in the soil. The
movement of air in the soil is frequent
~ shown by the bubbles which appear
at the surface of the soil just after
hard rain. As the water soaks into the
soil it drives the air out, and bubbles
may be seen at the surface If water
enough is present to form them.
one of the most important objects of
blowing is to loosen up the soil and
mix fresh air with ii.
