What the Soil Needs,

A farmer does not need to have a
scientific education to understand the
needs of the soil. About the only ele-
ments that can be lacking are phos-
phorus, nitrogen and potash. Phos-
phorus is the element that brings
plants to maturity and forms the seed.
1t makes the ears of corn and heads
of wheat fill with plump, ripe grain.
Nitrogen gives color to the plant and
promotes rapid growth. When the
plant grows rank and dark green, and
keeps on growing but doesn't bature
and fill, it lacks phosphorus. Soft
straw or stalk denotes deficiency in
potash. This form of plant food should
be used where straw or stalk lacks
gloss and stiffness. Generally clay
soils contain sufficient potash, but
are nearly always short on phosphorus
and nitrogen. Black soils, on the 9th
er hand, are often lacking in potash
and phosphorus, but contain large sup
plies Of nitrogen. Sandy soils are fire.
luently short on all three clements

Ice Cream Added.

Some of the creameries find a source
of extra income in making ice cream
for the wholesale trade during the
warm season. Creameries have GER
tain special advantages for the bust
ness which should enable them to
meet all competition. They have I'M
limited supplies of milk and cream at
butter prices. They can pick up eggs
at wholesale rates at the time when
they are cheapest, and store the eggs
in the ice house. Every creamery
has plenty Of ice for freezing and pack
ing the ice cream, and is fitted with
machinery, which could be used to
run the freezers. Where several large
towns could be supplied, business
would be brisk all through the sum-
mer months,-a time when the butter
market is rather unsatisfactory.-Am

Percentage Of Fat in Milk.

For some unaccountable reason rich
milk is much sought after while milk
containing smaller amount of cream
is not wanted.
The fact is, milk with low percen-
tage Of cream is more digestible and,
therefore better food for the aver
age person. The stomach of the pigs
is more like the human stomach than
that of any other domestic animal,
and we know that we can kill pig
by feeding it cream.
Human milk is not rich in fat, prob
ably IL percent would come near the
average, and all will agree that nature
provides what is best for us.
Is it not time that city ordinances
should contain other ordinances than
the amount of fat the milk contains?
Old milk, no matter what its fat
contents, is positively dangerous. But
dealer can supply his customers
with milk a week old SO long as it is
not sour and no one objects.
Dirty milk Is partially guarded
against by examinations for bacteria,
but few cities pay strict attention to
1t.
There is/very little stable inspec-
ton. Cows may be covered with ma
nure and they may be MIXED by dirty
men, but the consumer apparently
cares very little for he makes no effort
to correct the evil.

and the glasses used are deep con.

seems to the horse to be raised, and
