Another Artificial Fertilizer.

The success attained in Norway by
the electro-thermic process for the flxa.
ton of atmospheric nitrogen in the
form of nitric acid, which is afterward
converted into calcium nitrate and
used as a fertilizer in place of Chile
saltpeter, has been followed by the de.
velopment of another method of fixing
atmospheric nitrogen by passing it ovei
heated calcium carbide. The product
is called cyanamid-in the market mi.
tIoilim"-and experiment shows that
when placed in the soil it decomposes
and furnishes nitrogen to plants. Al
present cyanamid is produced on an
industrial scale at Odda, in Norway
at Piano dOrta, in Italy; at Westere.
gein and Bruhl, in Germany, and large
plants are being established at Aims.
sa, in Austria-Hungary, and at Mag.
ara Falls, in Canada.

Curry the Cows.

1t Is profitable to groom cows, espe-
cially in the spring. This is done in
the same manner that horse is cur
ried and brushed, and the work as thor
oughly done as If grooming a good
horse The cows are curried with a
sharp currying comb until the loose
hairs are combed off and the dandruff
on the skin is loosened. They are then
rubbed down with straw and afterward
with a rub rag until the coat is smooth
and glossy. This opens up the pores
in the skin, sets up healthy action In
the small blood vessels just under the
skin and helps great deal in a direct
way in putting the COWS in good condi-
ton.
Give the cows plenty Of outdoor air
as soon as the weather moderates, but
do not compel them to stand out in the
rain. Keep them in the yard until the
grass is we'll started, for the first blades
are too watery to furnish nutrition, and
it is false economy to turn stock on
pasture until it is well started. Any
saving of forage made in this way will
be paid for later by the shortness of
the grass when it is most needed.

He a "New Farmer"


The farm problem Of America is not
in bursting barns nor high bred stock,
nor soil fertility, nor even in the rural
school, but in the farmer himself. Its
solution is in the individual known as
the new farmer. The dreary drudgery
Of the old farm existence is fast pass
ing away, and in its place Is coming a
broad, rich, free livelihood, never known
before-"the new country life" The
new farmer lives the new country life !;
the new farmer builds for his wife and
children modern, sanitary, attractive
home; the new farmer makes hard
roads He installs telephone, receives
his mail by free delivery and encour-
ages interurban service, supports a
thriving rural church and demands an
efficient consolidated school with high
school course for his sons and daugh-
tiers at home The new farmer reads
and thinks; he studies his own environ
ment, sees his opportunity and limita-
tions improves the one and removes
the other. The new farmer is not only
a scientist, but sociologist. He works
In harmony with his neighbors for the
general good and uplift Of his imme-
date community, and above all else he
realizes the dignity and Importance Of
his own profession and individuality in
the permanent and national welfare.

Eggs, Fresh and Otherwise.
Information comes from Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson that henceforth
eggs styled "fresh" or strictly fresh"
must live up to their profession. Stor
age eggs must be labeled as such. II
this rule is rigidly enforced-and the
States Of Nebraska, Minnesota and
Pennsylvania are leading the van in
Furnishing violators Of the law-there
will be some queer experiences. 1t is a
well known fact that many persons
have been eating eggs two years old I'M
der the caption Of strictly fresh"
While any person of sense realizes that
strictly fresh" eggs are almost unob
tainable in midwinter and that the de
velopment of cold storage facilities has
been a boon to the consumer, it goes
without saying that free-born man has
a right to know what he is getting for
his money. Then If he prefers eggs
under the ban, let him have them.
