QUERIES BY FARMERS.
Experiment Station Called Upon for
Advice on Various Subjects.
From the washington State College. Pullman.

Ai'i' 'hs washington state college, Pullman.
A correspondent at Cheney writes
the following letter to the station.
am interested in the subject Of
| bacteria as an agricultural agency
and would like to know if anything
is being done by the government
along the lines of bacteria research
j Is the use of bacteria cultures likely
to prove an important factor in III,
agriculture of the Inland Empire
10 what extent are fertilizers used in
the Northwest, and with what ef
hciency? Please give me some infor
nation concerning the new theory of
soil poisoning by successive crops"
Following is the reply given to this
letter: '''
At this station we have tested sew
erai different cultures, some of which
were successful, while others failed
W. have found that in the laboratory
and greenhouses, where conditions
could be controlled fairly well, the
cultures possessed valueI We are
not sure that their use will become
general, for most of the commercial
product does not show up very uni
tormly. We have depended more
largely on the use Of inoculatcd soil
from old alfalfa fields. in getting a
stand OF alfalfa, than on the bacteria. |
Fertilizers have not been very
thoroughly tested in eastern Wash |
ington, but we are learning that MANY
of our soils may be vastly improved |
by certain treatments The indica |
tions are that fertilizers will be used
in the near future. more as a cor
receive agency, than to increase fertil.
ity. The theory OF 'soil-poisoning' is
based on the fact that where a soil
is ovcrcharged with some element.
the. excess of this element becomes in
furious to vegetation. 1t is necessary
to counterfeit this by the use Of some
chemical fertilizer"

Treatment for LOCO.

The results Of the loco weed when
eaten by stock are unpleasantly IA
miliar to the stocllman of the plains
east of the Rocky mountains. 1t has
been estimated that the losses from
| this source in Colorado alone have
reached the sum of a million dollars
| per amman. The national bureau Of
plant industry has been taking a turn
at the loco problem, and G. ID. Marsh,
expert in poison plants, reports that
1t has been found that locoed cattle
can In most cases be cured by a course
of treatment with strychnine, while
locoed horses can generally be cured
by q course of treatment with Fow-
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constlpa-
ton which is almost universal among
locoed animals. 1t should be noted,
too that magnesium sulphate may

1t may be added In regard to the
question Of Immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in slow and cumulative
manner so that there Is no possibility
of animals becoming immune. /

The Pacing Horse.

We have known of many animals
that have acquired thes>Nblt of pacing
because Of becoming sore forward. The
fore feet and legs do not assist In tha
efforts of propulsion, their office is
simply to hold up or support the fore
and heaviest part of the animal. and
as it must keep these fore feet ont of
the way of the hind ones, a horse will
endeavor to do so in the most awk.
ward Of ways at times, for when sore
forward it takes TO any sort of a gait
that to its mind appears to lessen the
PAIN OF action. 1t quite frequently
adopts the single foot action, gradually
progressing into that of pacing. 1t
was this soreness forward-and he was
actually lame-that caused the great
Jay Eye See to pace.-Field and Farm.

Recently at the Iowa Experiment
Station twenty pigs were fed for time
on tuberculosis cows milk that had not
been pasteurized, and twenty others
were fed on tuberculosis milk that had
been pasteurized. The twenty pigs fed
on the raw tuberculosis milk all died
of tuberculosis, and two of the other
pigs died with the same disease, That
showed that pasteurizing the milk gave
so per cent of protection.

red and white Southport Globes to
produce The exceptionally large, solid,
beautifully formed bulbs that bring top
prices in the New York City markets.
Besides the two varieties named,
there is yellow Southport Globe that
resembles the others in shape and gen.

The white is one of those beautifully
white, perfectly globe shaped onions
that take the eye and bring highest
price in any market. Its skin is thin

crisp and mild favored. Add to this
that 1t is a tremendous cropper, and it
represents almost an ideal product in

CONGRESSIONAL DoINGs.

At an executive session of the SEN
ate President Roosevelt was accused
of exceeding his authority in negotiat-
ing a commercial treaty with Ger
meny' and proclaiming 1t to the world
without its approval by congress. 1t
pointed out that the German en-
peror referred the agreement to the
reichstag for action; hence Mr.. Roose-
welt was accused of being more auto.
cratic than the kaiser.
While discussing the deficiency ap-
preparation bill in the house Chair
man Tawney of the appropriations
committee warned the members that
the country was confronted with the
certainty of a 500, 900. 900 deficit UNI
less the estimates for the next fiscal
year should be. cut down materially.
During the debate in the house on
the bill to codify the penal laws
Champ Clark of Missouri declared
that the Democrats intended to name
William j. Bryan for president at the
Denver convention. Prolonged Demo
cratic applause greeted the statement.
President Roosevelt, in a letter
transmitting to congress the report of
Secretary Taft on the Philippine ISL
ands, SAYS the work Of the United
States In that Far Esstern country is
one of the brightest pages in history.
The house has passed a, bill appro-
priating $250,000 for an immigration
station ct Philadelphia.
