BaIIineer Ruling Is Important.

An important ruling by Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger that ap-
pears to completely nullify the rule
heretofore enforced as to the amount
of desert land an entryman ultimate
ly is entitled to has been received in
Phoenix.
1t is held that Zone who holds land
under an unprotected desert land en-
try is not the proprietor thereof
within the meaning of the statute
holding disqualified to make home
stead entry one who is the proprietor
of more than $50 acres of land"
This apparently indicates that, al
though an entryman has made an en-
try of 160 acres of homestead land, he
still may take a full 800 acres of
desert land, instead of 100 acres of
desert land, heretofore permitted.
The decision appears in the advance
signatures of volume 80 of land de-
cisions just issued.
AS to those who already filed on
only 16O acres of desert land, the eff
feet OF this decision is an open ques-
ton. The law permits only one des-
ert land entry, and whether those
who already haYe exercised their
privilege and taken the $50 acres will
have the privilege of taking another
160 acres will rest with the general
land office.
The department might recognize
the fact that those who filed on only
l60 acres were not apprised of the
| fact at the time and allow another
$50 to be selected, or it might be
held that the right did not exist prior
to the decision.
Formerly the maximum amount OF
land which one man ultimately could
hold was 800 acres, a homestead en-
try of 160 acres and a desert entry
of 16O acres.
Entrymen who haye not exercised
their right to file on public lands are
entitled under the decision to 16C
acres more than was the rule hereto,
fore enforced, making the maximum
which one man may ultimately hold
as 480 acres instead of 800.

Fat in MIX.

1t can not be that the butter fat in
milk is obtained from the fat stored
in the tissues of the cow, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat in their bodies. Reason as we'll
as observation teaches that COWS ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce a
large percentage Of cream the rations
of the cow should be rich in the ele-
ments Of nitrogen and carbohydrates.
which are found in linseed meal mid
dlings, bran, corn meal and ground
oats. At the Cornell University COWS
that yielded 200 pounds of butter fat
annually under ordinary feeding yield
ed 80 pounds when given liberal
rations Of feed rich in nitrogen and
carbohydrates. Cream will not make
butter unless 1t contains fat. and
profitable fats will not be produced
unless cows are fed on rations rich in
the elements that produce cream.

The substance left in the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed is
known as "humus" In order to Sc
cure the greatest results from the fer
tilizer and to get the largest possible
quantity Of humus, it is necessary that
the soil be moist when the fertilizer
is plowed under Only small amount
of humus is obtained from the turned
under fertilizer should the ground be
dry.
When the fertilizer is allowed to lie
upon the surface for period, exposed
to the sun, much good is lost from
the fact that it forms but small
amount of humus when plowed under.
Therefore 1t Is important that the soil
should always be moist when fertilizer
of any kind is plowed under
In many ways humus benefits the
soil. In the first place, it makes the
soil lighter as we'll as looser. This
condition allows good ventilation and
gives chance for poisonous gases to
escape The soil does not become over
heated, and, in clay territory, the
ground is lightened, making it more
easy to work. It is equally beneficial
in sandy soil, inasmuch as it as
sists in binding it together, allowing
more substance.

When the green stalks are given to

but leave enough saccharine matter in
the fiber to make it attractive to cat

fiber is indigestible, and the cattle. if
allowed to pick it up. will frequently

killing QUack Grass.

4 Michigan farmer gives these in
structions for killing Quack grass:
Pillow five or six inches deep in the
growing season, say April, May and
June. Give it a good digging, then
cultivate with a cultivator that has
teeth close enough so they will cut
the roots two or two and one-half
inches under the ground The secret
is to keep it from getting to the sur
face It wants holding down six
weeks 1t does not take expensive
tools l use an old-fashioned cult
vator that was bought fifty years ago.
1t has seven teeth, three in front, four
in rear; each tooth cuts six inches
wide. 1t is good to drag it over after
three or four days. 1 cultivate once
a week for six weeks; it has never
failed me yet. The roots will be dead
as hay. 1t is good for Canada thistles.
If one is doubtful, take a rod or more
square and keep it down for six
weeks and see how it works This was
done with a hoe on two acres, and 100
bushels of smutnose corn were raised
to the acre, planted in drills one foot
apart and hoed to kill
