LIVE STOCK AND THE MANURE.

In answer to the inquiries about
saving and applying all the stable and
barnyard manure on the farm, can
say that live stock growers cannot
be too careful in this. 1t is the way
to keep up the sill to higher pro-
duction. The manure should be
spread on the land fresh from the
stable to get all the value OF it in
the soil. I use a Wagon Box Man
ure Spreader for this purpose, and
l wish to say that l find it a success
in every way. j have been working
it on a wagon which has been in use
for twelve years. and experience no
trouble whatever Fer convenience and
adaptability / believe there are none
better-Chas. Heck, in the Indians

AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.


hydrogen is the lightest OF the ela-
'hents and does not exist in the freq
state. With oxygen it forms water,
which is composed of two parts hy-
drogen and o for oxygen, from which
we get H2O formula for water. Muri-
attic acid is composed of one part hy-
drogen and one part chlorine. CL is
the symbol for chlorine; hence the
formula for muriatic acid is HCL;
1t is also called hy5rochloric acid.
Hydrogen is one of the constituents
~ all acids.
When muriatic acid is poured over
zinc the boiling resulting is due to
the hydrogen being given off, which is
gas when in the free state. The
reason OF the bubbing Is that the n.y.
drogen OF the hydrochloric acid Is
liberated. The chlorine or the acid
has more attraction for the zinc than
for the hydrogen. and so lets go OF
1t TO combine with the zinc. The ele-
ments behave a good deal Ike per-
sons. For instance, two persons to-
gether may meet a third person, and
one Of the two likes the third person
better than the one he is with and so
goes off with the third person and
leaves the one he was with alone.
While hydrogen is necessary to all
animal and plant life. but a little
attention need be paid to it. as II
is supplied in water and the plant can
use ii best in that form: SO that
when the plant or animal has plenty
of water 1t will have plenty of n.y.
drogen.-W. c. Palmer

COW AND CALF.

Some of the troubles of both COW
and calf are due to fastening the
cow so she can not reach her calf
whenever she desires. While no ma
terial harm will come from keeping
the cow fastened during most of the
months of pregnancy, it is an excel,
lent plan to give her box stall dur
ing the month before she drops her
calf, and all through the period she
is nursing it. Be sure that the stall
is a roomy one; keep it clean and
well provided with bedding. If it
can be located where a fair amount Of
sun will shine on It, so much the bet
ter for COW and calf. 1t is just as
easy to care for cow placed in a
box stall, and one will find the calf
much better cared for and much hap
pier when mother can reach it at
will, and the COW will be much bet
ter tempered.

from Naples that he will in August next
forward to the New York Yacht club a
challenge for a series of races for the
Americas cup in the fall of 1910 will
give yachting a flip on the Atlantic
coast As Sir Thomas and the New York
yaehtSmen have been apart III their
views for several years as to the char
acter Of the yachts which should repre-
sent Great Britain and the United
States in the next series of races for the
worlds greatest yachting trophy, there
is something significant in his remarks
TO correspondent that he does not think
the New York Yacht club win decline
| an6tGer contest for the cup under the
conditions he has named, and that the
Americans can have race If they want
one on fair terms
If Sir Thomas has assumed the atti-
tude of a dictator there may be no race
because the New York yachtsmen are
i'll no mood for the reception of a chal-
leuge of that kind. They favor racing
without restriction except by the rules
fixing measurement limitations which
have heretofore been recognized and
prefer a contest between sloops of the
larger class. They have the Reliance on
the stocks, ready for possible challenges,
and they want to use her because they
think she is perfect racer in every
way, even though she may be unfit to
engage in deep-sea cruising. They take
the stand that the Americas cup is a
speed trophy, and that yachting develop
meBt having separated the racer from
the cruiser, the racer should continue to
contest for the cup without regard for
cruising considerat tons
On the other hand. the claim has
weight that a challenger must necessar,
lily have cruising ability to he able to
cross the sea ION her own bottom" as is
required by the deed of gift, and the
challenger is therefore Mt disadvan-
tage when she is pitted against racer
which need never go beyond the head
lands while she is tuning up" IT is
true that the Americans claim that the
Reliance can cross the sea If necessary.
but she has never done any decp-sea
racing, and it therefore still remains to
be seeen whether she is able to do what
in required of a challenger in this re-
spect. This could all be settled salts
factorily if the Reliance should race
