It can be said, however, that what

guided by the opinion of the inland

stances.
A grain containing % per cent. Of
water will ferment and spoil in an ele-
vator or ships hold under unfavora-
BILE conditions, and, therefore, is dan
gerous grain to buy. Yet it's kernels
are pretty sure to be plump, sound and
handsome, and to secure a high grad
ing by the inspector, who judges chief
ly by appearances.
On the other hand, a grain from a
dry country, which contains II per
cent. or thereabouts of moisture, is
not as handsome, as rule, and will
be graded lower. Yet this grain when
put into ship for voyage across the
ocean will absorb a considerable per.
centage of moisture and will reach
it's destination looking Ane, plump
and full, with an increase Of several
per cent. in weight.
The shipper actually stands to
make more money on certain grains
as result of their absorption OF
moisture on voyage, than the cost OF
freight. He could make money by
loading his grain on boat, giving it
voyage for its health and bringing
it back to the first port for sale.
This is merely suggestion Of the
inefhciency of the present methods OF
testing grain.

FALL FLOWING PAYS.
Put Ground in Better Shape for
Spring Seeding.

Put Ground in Setter Shape for
Spring Seeding.
l plow my land very deeply in the
fall and then leave it. 1t absorbs a
good deal of rain during the winter
and does not wash as badly as it
would were it left packed down. Not
only this, but I usually turn under
some green growth that will decom-
pose during the winter, adding humus
to the soil and improving the physical
condition, writes correspondent of
Orange Judd Farmer If this is left
over till spring it will lose much of It's
value as green manure.
The good start which an early
seeded crop gets is strong argument
in favor of fall blowing, for it enables
me to get good, strong stand before
the dry, hot months come, when the
crop suffers much from drouth.
From years Of experience, l believe
that land plowed in the spring packs
much worse than that plowed in the
fall, and when plowed in the spring
it is usually little wet and hard to
handle. l have seen much land
ruined by it's owners being crowded
in the spring and thus forced to plow
when the land was far too wet for
such an operation.

as distinguished from the rights OF
other powers, the Congo question and
matters of live interest in diplomatic
exchanges are the things the ambas
sailors are expected to talk about.
A meeting Of ambassadors will first
be held to arrange for more formal

ambassadors will be addressed either
by the president or by Secretary Root,
who will explain why they have been
called together. After that the presi.
dent will invite them to arrange for
further meetings.
So far as can now be seen, nothing
in the way OF treaties will result.
There is no such intention. It is to
be merely getting together to ex.
change views and have an informal
understanding among the powers
about what they would do in certain
contingencies.
The greatest of these contingencies
is the death or abdication of the en-
press dowager of China. When that
happens it is feared there will be
trouble, either on account of China's
jealousy of Japan or Chinese hatred
on the Manchu dynasty.

LINING SOILS.
Make Tests With Blue Litmus Paper
Before Applying Lime.

The acidity or alkalinity Of the soil
may be tested by the use of blue lit
mus paper, which can be secured of
any druggist. The litmus test may be
made by moistening portion of the
soil so that it will stick together, and
inserting the litmus paper in a cut
made with a knife, and closing the
paper. If within a half hour or less
the litmus paper turns pink the need
of lime is indicated. Where tests are
not made, and the soil has not been
lined for years, 1t is much safer to
lime than to run the risk of the alfalfa
or other crops being killed out by
the acidity of the soils. The amount
that should be applied varies with
different soils, clay soils requiring
heavier application than sandy soils.
On clay soils which have not been
lined in many years about one ton
per acre should be applied, while
soils in which the acidity has been
partially corrected should receive
proportionate amount On sandy or
humus exhausted soils it is not ad-
visable to put OF more than one thous-
and pounds at one time, for lime is
an indirect fertilizer, and liberates
plant food by fastening decomposi-
ton of the organic matter in the soil,
and thus reduces it's fertility. Clay
soils are more retentive of plant food,
so that less is lost by this decomposi-
ton, and, furthermore, the clay soils
are improved greatly in texture by
the collection of the smaller particles
of the soil into larger ones.
Oyster shell lime or stone lime is
generally used, though other SUBJ
stances, such as mari, may be used
more economically, where they can
be obtained on the farm for the ex-
pense of digging. The lime should
be applied on the surface, and worked
in with the surface soil, and it should
be put on in as active condition as
possible. To do this the lime should
be slaked with water, and as soon as
slaked should be spread as evenly
as possible. 1t may be applied with
shovel, or with the lime attachment
which comes with fost manure spread
ers.
Ground stone lime, which has re-
Gently been put on the market, says
the Journal .of Agriculture, is finely
ground lime, which is easily distribut.
ed, and is thought to be better than
the burnt lime, as it can be applied in
the active state. 1t can be applied
through the fertilizer attachment OF
the ordinary grain drill.

MILLION DOLLARS NEEDED
FOR GRAIN INSPECTION

THE indications are that the work
1 of the experimental laboratories
for the study of scientific grain in
spection and grading, recently estab-
lished in st. Louis, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and New York, will be carried on
next year on a much more elaborate
scale than at present.
The congressional appropriation for
the work this year is $4,000. Last
year $4,000 was considered sutlcient.
1t is probable that next year Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson will urge con-
gress to spend 100000 or more in
this important field.
The plan is to appoint a general
commission to take general supervi-
sion of the entire business of deter
mining the grade and character of
grain.
The smallness OF the appropriations
in the past have prevented the de-
partment from doing a great deal Of
effective work. In fact, it is declared
by some of the experts on matters
pertaining to grains that the present
hit-or-miss method of inspection is ut
terly worthless.
For instance, it is pointed out, that
the most important factor in deter
mining the value and grade Of wheat
is the proportion of moisture it con-
tains. This runs all the way from IL

FERTlLiZING THE SOIL.
Be Sure You Put in What the Plants
Will Use.

The man that puts into the soil fer.
tilizer wants to make sure that it is
utilized by the plants for which it is
placed In the ground. 1t is possible
to apply barnyard manure and espe.
cially the chemical fertilizers under
conditions where they will be ineffec-
tive In doing the work they are intend
ed to do. It may be taken for granted
that If the fertilizers are placed in dry
soil and the soil remains dry it will
do plants no good More than that,
in the dry soil the destructive chemi-
cal processes will be going on that
will burn up the fertilizers of an Or
ganic nature.
When men SOW such chemical fer
telizers on the surface of the ground
and merely cultivate them in, when
they are cultivating to make a dust
mulch, they are but taking the surest
way to destroy all the fertilizer of an
organic nature as fast at least as it
yields up available plant food. Mois1
ture is needed and quite constant
supply of it in the form, not of water
such as exists below the water table,
but such as exists in the soil as film
water around the soil particles. :
Mr.. Thomas c. Wallace, who has
spent his life studying fertilizers and
soil questions, has now charge of q
large fertilizer business in California
He tells the writer that in that state
it is found exceedingly difficult to fer
tilize the grape vineyards. This is
due to the fact that the vineyards
are on light sandy soil, and the sand
is perfectly dry down sometimes six,
eight and ten inches from the surface.
The moisture and heavier soil is be-
low that. Thousands of grape growers
have put expensive fertilizers into the
surface soil of their vineyards to have
1t do apparently no good. The reason
is that the moisture is not present
that would set it free for the use OF
the plants The rains that come Oc-
casionally wash very little Of this
down to the soil below. 1t is evident
that such fertilizing materials as
ground bone will remain for very
long time in such soil without doing
good. An occasional irrigation also
has little effect in setting loose the
plant food from the stored-up fertiliz-
er. If dried blood is put into such
soil it is evident that it will soon be
burned up in the dry sand and will
largely disappear in gas produced by
it's chemical changes. The vineyards
| are not cultivated on account of the
practice of allowing the vines to die
on the ground without supports.
The same principle holds good in
any part of the country where dry soil
! is the bed in which manure is placed,
says the Farmers Review. There
are many people who have the
idea that manure once put on the
soil will lie there till it is utilized if It
takes years. That is costly mis-
take. The air receives some of the
most valuable portions of all fertl1z-
ers so applied. Fertilizers must be
gotten into the moist soil to become
available.

EqQs Absorb OdorS.

It is not generally known that the
egg shell is enough porous so that
bad smells where eggs are kept can
get into the eggs. For this reason
the advice is given not to use disin-
fectants where the strong odors will
come into contact with the eggs. For
tunately the time of the year when
disinfectants are used in the poultry
house need not coincide with the time
when eggs are being laid in large num-
bers. 1t is perfectly feasible to shut
up the henhouse for some days while
it is being disinfected, If this occurs
in the summer time The disinfecting
is for the purpose of destroying in
sects and the germs of disease, and
this work is best done when the fowls
are shut away from the house. The
warm weather is naturally the time
In which to use strong smelling dis
