GARDEN FERTILIZERS.
Prof. Burkett Gives Some important
Facts Regarding Them.

Prof Burkett, the well-known an.
thority on soils and plant food. has
this 10 say Of the different functions
Of plant foods and the kind of each
best adapted to garden soils:
Iron, though present i'm plants in but
very small amounts, fills highly i'm
portant place. Without II the chloro-
phyl bodies. are. not formed, and as
these organs are necessary to the as
similation of carbon dioxid no increase
in the dry substance of a plant can
take place without iron. Plants can
elcngate in the dask, the growing tips
being nourished by material drawn
from the other parts of the plant, but
there is no gain in dry weight.
Potassium salts are essential to
plants, and the potassium seems to be
though not a constituent of it. In some
kinds Of plants potassium Chord is
more effective than other compounds
and the chlorin seems to facilitate the
movement of starch from the leaves
to other parts of the plant.
Sodium, the metal of common salt,
Glaubers salt, and others, is often pres
ent ia large proportion in plant ashes.
It has not been positively proven to
be essential to plants and it's presence
is doubtless to large extent accident
al 1t has been found, however, that
to a limited extent it can replace po-
tassium in plants; that is, smaller
IF dc will
meet the need of a crop if sodium COM
pounds be present than is required in
their absence
Calcium, the metal of limestone and
gypsum, appears to be required In the
processes that result in the formation
of woody tissue. 1t also enters into
combination with organic acids that
would otherwise be injurious to the
plant, thus forming substances Of an
excretory nature that are deposited
in the cells. Calcium and magnesium
form compounds with the heterogeneous
constituents Of plants which seem to
be concerned in the movement of these
substances from one part Of the plant
to another.
Phosphorus, to be used by plants,
must be in the form of a phosphate.
Calcium rhosphates are most abund-
ant in soils. The phosphates form
compounds with the heterogeneous con-
stituents or proteids of the plant and
facilitate their movement. Phosphor-
Gus is also an essential constituent of
some of the most important parts of
plants, including the protoplasm of the
cells, which is the living, active part
by which the chemical processes of
plant-growth are brought about.

THE MILK FLOW.
Influences Which Affect the Quantity
and Quality.

Practically all the effects produced
by season upon milk yields are indi.
rect results due primarily to the influ-
ence Of the season upon the food of
the animals. At no period is this eff
feet more marked in ordinary seasons
than when the COWS are first turned to
grass. The sudden change from dry,
and more or less unpalatable food, to
a succulent and palatable one, has
marked effect upon the milk. Pri-
marily it increases the flow of serum,
and this often before the improved
character of the food has had time to
show any effect upon the cellular for
nation. So, for a day or two, the
milk becomes, especially in the morn
ing, exceptionally poor, and sample
being taken, it looks bad. In such
a case the appeal to the COW is useless,
for in the course Of a day or two ma
ture has righted herself and the COW
will give more normal, though per-
haps still a poor milk.
There is one further aspect of milk
production which must now be briefly
considered says Farmers Voice, name
ly, that it is a process highly influ-
enced by the nervous system of the
COW. Whatever eXcites the nervous
system will affect the milk yield, and
mainly by checking cellular growth.
1t is no bad idea to think that it is
the system of lettering cattle prac
ticed in Jersey, and the consequent
freedom from excitement, which has
in the course Of years influenced
the milk Of these COWS, so as to cause
1t to be as exceptionally rich in fat
as compared with other solids, and,
as compared with other COWS, in the
relation of cellular growth to serum
secretion.
Excitement Of any description,
owing to it's effect upon the nervous
system of the COW, Immediately affects
her milk yield The period of heat al
ways causes the milk to fall off in
quality, and, should the COWS be
served, so great is the effect upon the
nervous system that the milk yield
becomes quite abnormal both the fat
and other solids sinking far below
the standard. But there are other
sources of excitement which may have
far more general effect, such as the
worrying of cattle in the fields by
dogs, flies, or great heat, and the ex-
element produced by thunderstorms.
All animals dread a thunderstorm,
and it has been noticed that the milk
yielded at such time will produce
scours in calves.

be found on the twigs The accom-
panying Illustration shows the spring
canker worm and to the left, in the
lower corner, twig with character
istic ring around it, The eggs are held
on by their association with the rest
of the ring and not because they are
stuck to the twig. If sharp knife is
run lengthwise down the twig over the
egg mass it will be laid open and will
peel off in the hand. The eggs can
later be burned. A boy who is light
and active will be able to do this work
much better than an older or heavier
person. All of the eggs removed now
will save work later on. The eggs
will not hatch till the leaves are out
so the orchardists can afford to wait
till there comes a bright day pre-
vious to the leaving out of the trees.
A boy should not be sent about the
trees on bold, windy day. The work
should be thoroughly done and will
save much damage when the leaves
open and the eggs would hatch if
allowed to remain.-Departme Bull

may be made into a very fair substi-
tute. The accompanying cut shows
how this may be done. A windlass is
placed on a frame made of two by
four inch material securely braced to
prevent shaking, says Hoard's Dairy
man. The size of the box depends on
the size and shape of the well. The
box is hung by two ropes to prevent
it's turning and should be strengthened
with galvanized iron at the corners.
If the milk is to be cooled, it should be
lowered into the water otherwise the
milk will not cool rapidly enough and
may cause trouble from souring.

why TAFT SHOULD
BE DEFEATED.

The reasons for the need to
defeat the republicans are many
and the people are realizing these
as the truths about /Republi-
canism are being shown. The
New York World, giving now a
valiant support to the Demo
cratic ticket, gives its reasons
why Republieanism should be
defeated, and puts the case
forcibly as it says:
THAT the Roosevelt admins
Etration which is attempting to
project itself into the future, is
highly vulnerable needs no proof
beyond the presentation of the
bare facts:
81. It has been extrayagant
and wasteful.
$" It has attempted to popu-
larize war.
"3 It has gloried in Philip
pine Imperialism.
RI It has menaced the States
with Federal usurpation by
means of constructive jurispru-
dence.
So. It has recklessly under
mined confidence in our business
methods, causing panic, depres-
sion and suffering.
IS. It has profited by the
political contributions of corpor-
atoms seeking legislative favors.
so. It has spoken vociferously
against the malefactors of great
wealth, but it has not brought
one of them to justice.
"8. 1t hasl bullied Congress,
threatened to do as it pleased,
law or no law.
SO. It has assailed the courts
when their judgements were
contrary to its wishes.
10. It has maintained the
highest tariff ever known In a
free country and has made no
move in favor of income and in
heritance taxes.
III. 1t has constantly de-
manded law and more law for
the protection of trusts, although
existing laws are held by it to be
too drastic for enforcement.

Mr.. BRYAN DISCUSSES
LABOR QUESTION.

In his Labor Day address, de-
Iivered before thousands assem-
bled in Chicago on Monday, Hon..
William J. Bryan, the next pres
ident of the United States, said:
1.-THE labor question, as it pre-
sents itself at this time, is chief
" g question of distribution, and
the legislation asked for is legis-
lation which will secure to each
that to which his services entities
him. AS legislation is secured
Though the ballot every one
should use the ballot to obtain
the legislation necessary. The
DemocraticpIatform presents the
ideal toward which the Demo
cratic party is striving, namely,
justice in the distribution of re-
wards The Democratic party
proclaims that each individual
should receive from society a re-
ward for his toll commensurate
with his contribution to the well
fare of society, and unless some
other party can do the work
better, the Democratic party
ought to have the support of all,
whether they belong@ to the
wape-earninp class or OCCUPY
positions where they direct the
efforts of others. Ifan officer in
the industrial army were sure
that his children and his child
ren's children would inherit his
position, he might feel posi-
bly, Indifferent as to those under
his command! but the children
of those who, today, work for
wages may employ the children
of those who, in this generation,
are employers. This uncertainty
as to future generations, as well
as our sense of justice, should
lead us to make the government
as nearly perfect as possible, for
a good government is the best
legacy that a parent can leave to
his child. Riches may take the
wings of motnksg and fly away,
but government is permanent,
and we cannot serve posterity
better than by contributing to the
perfection of the government,
that each child born into the
world may feel that it has here
an opportunity for the most COM
plete development, and a chance
to secure, through service, the
largest possible happiness and
honor"
Mr. Bryan is peculiarly the
hboring mans candidate and
will receive the support of every
true working-man for president
at the November election. The
votes Of the workers are going tt
electhim president and, in turr
he will see to it that their inter.
