price of meats. Witness the following
from "Mr. Weller"

Dog Sausage No Joke,

The old joke about eating "hot dog"
Is no joke in Germany any more, for
no less than 1000 CANNES of various
breeds were slaughtered and eaten by
the subjects Of Kaiser William last
year. according to report from Consul
George N. lift at Annaberg. The eat
ing Of horse meat seems to be quite
general in Germany, for no less than
$4,000 horses were slaughtered for
human food In 1906.
"Horse6esh is very generally advcr-
tised in the German papers," says
Consul lift. especially in those in
large Industrial eenters, and most Ger
man cities have at least one market
winch makes 1t a speciality, claiming
for it higher percentage of nourish-
ment than that of beef, veal. mutton
or pork. Neither Is it unusual to find
advertisements Of dog meat or for the
purchase Of dogs for slaughter. In the
city of Cassel recently the police, in
searching for lost dog, discovered a
private slaughter house and arrested
the proprietors, who were apparently
making a regular business of stealing
and killing dogs"
IN the city of Chemnitz alone, Con-
sui lift reports. Cos dogs were slaugh-
tered for human food in 1906, this be-
ring an increase of lightweight over the
previous year.

Cabbage Rot.

The disease known to the cabbage
growers as black rot, or stem rot, has
come into prominence within the last
few years, and is said to be serious
hindrance to cabbage growing In sew
eral States. From a recent farmers
bulletin prepared by the chief of the
division of vegetable pathology, 1t APP
pears that no way is known Of curing
the disease or of entirely Kidding d
locality of 1t when once 1t Is we'll es-
tablished. The whole subject of treat
ment may be summed up in one word
preventing. The disease Is not con-
fined to the cabbage, but attacks a num-
Der of species belonging to the mustard
family. The planting Of other crops
for a long series of years is said to
be the only satisfactory way to get rid
Of this disease Of the cabbage when it
has once become serious.

How book Learning Pax,.

Book learning" for farmers has
oeen thing to laugh at in the past.
IL used to be thought that an almanac
ana one or two patent office reports
were all a man needed to make him
competent to run a farm" We are
getting past that day, and doing 1t Mt a
pretty fast pace, in our times. Think
or the report just published by tho
commissioners appointed a couple of
years ago In the State of Louisiana to
investigate crop pests, with particular
reference to the boil weevil and the ter
rloie injury it has wrought to the cot
ton crop, For two years these commits
sioners have been studying and exper-
lnentlng on the State farms In the
hed river region, and now they send
word out to the world that they have
succeeded In growing cotton that can
not be hurt by the boil weevil. Just
how they have done this we must wait
to learn. The great fact Is that they
have done it. Think what this will
mean in money to the farmers of the
cotton growing States Nor will the
benefit ofithelr work stop there. Other
people than the, cotton growers are In
terested In cotton. We all have use
for the plant and Its products. From
the poor man down in the most obscure
quarter of the city to the millionaire
In his beautiful home, we all need cot
ton in some form or other. And book
farming cuts the cloud which has
hung over the men who grow the plant
and lets the sunshine out all over the
world.

The university experiment station at
Cambridge, Mass, reports that A
variety Of tests were conducted on
light loan. The sprouting of seeds
before planting did not appear very
useful for ordinary purposes. Plant
Ing entire tubers gave better results
than the use Of cut seed pieces. Tubcrs
weighing nine or ten to the pound,
or IL to rs inches in size, were most
suitable for planting.
Seed imported from Scotland nro-
duced equally good crops the first and
second years, while the third year the
crop was much reduced. The secopd
growth, Induced by weather conditions
in 1904, had very injurious effect on
the cooking quality Of the potatoes.
The best results on poor light land
were secured with fertilizer applica-
ton consisting Of 175 pounds Of sui
phate Of ammonia $50 pounds of super.
phosphate and $50 pounds of sulphate
Of potash. On the light loan soil the
best yield was secured where this
same application of fertilizers, togeth
