FARM AND HOME.
Ground Phosphate Rock.

Two years ago we procured a car
loRd--twenty tons--of ground phos-
phate rock from Tennessee and used
It in our stable cutters. a pint or so
a day to each COW, and in our manure
heaps. Manure was hauled out dur
ing the winter on land that was to be
planted in corn. Most OF the first
crop we harvested from this treat
ment went into the silo. II is seldom
that we have ever raised corn with a
finer showing of ears. This year we
have field OF nine acres. MANFRED
last fall with this phosphate treated
manure, which was sown last spring
with three pecks OF Oderbruck barley
to the acre and twenty-five pounds of
alfalfa seed. It is certainly the finest
field of barley we have ever raised.
Good judges estimate that II will
yield fully forty bushels of barley to
the acre.
The argument has been sufficiently
convincing to us to cause us to order
another carload of the phosphate
rock.
Joseph %. Wing, in answer to an
inquirer in the Breeders Gazette,
atates that this phosphate rock, used
as we have indicated, will double
the value of the manure. "-Hoard's

Ben Franklin at Quebec.

The tercentenary of the city Of
Quebec recalls a memorable journey
to that city made 1872 years ago by
four American commissioners. Theil
object was to secure the aid of the
Canadians in the war against England
The latter were eager to revolt, but
being faithful Catholics, feared that
union with the rabidly Protestant New
England colonies might imperial their
religious security. 1t was the object
of the American commission to con
vince them of the error of theis fear
OF the four commissioners three were
Marylanders. Theye were Charles
Carroll of Carrollon, his cousin, John
Carroll, afterward Archbishop of Bal
timore, and Samuel Chase. The fourth
commissioner was Benjamin Franklin
It was thought the three commits
sioners from Maryland, Catholic
colony, might be able to win over the
timid Canucks, tut the mission failed

Guadalupe, Highest Texas Mountain.
That the honor would rest with the
Guadalupe Mountains, uninterrupted
range in the northern part Of El Paso
county not far from the New Mexican

able. In describing these mountains
Prof, r, I. Hill In his monumental trea'
tlse on the Texas region pronounced
them the highest in the state, Not
withstanding an error of nearly thou
sand feet in his published elevation
an error resulting from the uncertain
aneroid-his statement was correct.
During the summer of 1904, while Van
Horn county was being mapped by
the topographers of the United States
geological survey, careful observations
We're made to determine the elevations
OF the Guadalupe range, The work
was constructed by Arthur stiles, who
has recently worked out his field notes
and has conclusively determined the
highest point in his native state. The
elevation is $500 feet above the sea,

Roots as Stock Feed.

The turnip crop ia now one of the
cheapest produced on the farm, con-
siderlng the large yields that are pos
sible, as seed drills, wheel hoes and
hand cultivators enable the grower to
put in seed and keep down the weeds
with nearly as little outlay per acre
as for corn. The turnip is a summer
and fall crop, and can be grown in a
short time. The growing of but an
acre of turnips will provide the farm
in winter season with food that is
valuable from dietary point of view,
even II 1t is low in solids, and con-
tains large proportion of water.
In Europe no farmer would expect
success without the aid of turnips,
beets, carrots, parsnips and potatoes
as supplemental food for stock, be-
cause profitable results can not be Sc
cured without the aid of succulent
food. When It is considered that the
English farmer pays annually a sum
for rent equal to the cost of farm
In the United States, and that he
makes sheep and turnips pay all the
expense, 1t should encourage our
farmers to give more attention to
the mutton breeds of sheep and to
the advantages of root crops as food
for stock. Seed should be selected
from the best varieties for each par
ticular farm, as well as the quality
of the yields. BY so doing the va
rieties can be greatly improved.
Turnips add value to other foods
because Of the fact that during win
ter, when dry food is the rule, the
use of turnips give change from
the dry ration to more succulent
kind Digestion is therefore promot-
ed, and all kinds of food become
more beneficial because of being
more thoroughly digested and assimi-
lated. Cooking roots for stock is not,
now practiced, as formerly, as in
ventors have introduced slicers or
pulpers, which prepare such food for
stock with but little labor and with
rapidity, thus placing before the far
mer OF to-day advantages which he
should not overlook. -Epitomist.

U. 8. pebt to champIaln.

We of the Eastern United States,
and above all the dwellers in New Eng
land, owe to Champlain more than
most of us imagine. Northern New
York and New England were fields Of
his exploration, and 1t was he who
charted the coasts of the North At
lantic nearly to Connecticut, making
surveys that have not been greatly
altered to this day. Three hundred
years ago, at the point Of Quebec, then
covered with nut trees, Samuel de
Champlain set his men to work to
cut down these trees, saw boards, dig
cellars and make bitches to construct
a habitation. Before the coming Of
Champlain Canada had yielded to the
French vast quantities Of furs and skins
and had enriched many trader, but 1t
remained for their great explorer to

Securing Fertile Eggs.

Some officials of the Department of
Agriculture have been collecting data
regarding the factors which affect the
fertility of eggs, the question having
been carefully studied at a number
of experiment stations In the United
States and elsewhere.
Too warm quarters for laying
stock and overlooking are common
ly believed to exercise an unfaVora-
BILE influence on egg fertility as we'll
as does cold season. The way eggs
are handled or stored is also believed
to affect the proportion which will
hatch, as will also the conditions un-
der which incubation occurs.
The vigor and character of the
parent stock and the length of time
the male bird has been with the flock
are also important questions with
respect to eggs fertility. At the out
set 1t should be pointed out that fer
tility and ''hatchability" are not nee
essarlly identical.
An egg may be fertile and still the
germ does not have sufficient vital
lty to produce a healthy chick Under
the ordinary conditions of incubation.
In a series of incubator experiments
at the Rhode Island station, of 8677
eggs tested, eighty-three per cent
were found to be fertile, while only
forty-six per cent. OF the fertile eggs,
or 1875 per cent. of the total number
of eggs, Matched under the conditions
Of the tests.
The various observations made,
while not entirely conclusive, indi-
cate that, in order to secure fertile
eggs, which will hatch, the laying
stock must not be kept in very warm
quarters or overfed; the males must
be kept with the hens continuously
and that only eggs should be used
which are produced after the male
has been with the hens several days.
Only the fowls from very vigorous
parent stock and those known to pro-
duce a high percentage of fertile
eggs (hens vary widely in this re-
spect) should be used; the hens
should be allowed a rest after each
laying period, while the eggs should
be handled carefully, not subjected
to extremes of temperature in stor-
age and used only when comparative
ly esh.-Weekly Witness.

MANY wolves in Michlgan.

Estimates by the Federal Biologi-
cal Survey to the effect that there are
perhaps 200 timber wolves in Upper
Michigan are declared by woodsmen
to- be far under the mark.
There are fifteen counties in the
peninsula and there are wolves in
every one OF them, particularly In the
great stretches of wilderness with
which the region abounds. Probably
as many as 500 wolves have been
killed the last year, it is figured; still
there appears to be as many of the
animals in the woods now as twelve
months ago.
The Luce County Board recently
approved the payment of bounties OF
thirty wolves, amounting at $50 i
head to 5000, and In Dickinson
County bounties were paid on seven
teen wolves and nineteen wild cats
