How to Treat Sour Land That VIII
Not Grow Some of the Best
Grasses.

In lecture at the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca dur
ing Farmers Week." a discussion of
the management of pastures was taken
up by Prof. Warren and Prof White.
The substance of the discussion was
as follows: Much land, especially on
the hills and in pockets where it is
damp, is sour Tor acid), and will not
grow we'll some of the most important
grasses and clovers. In such cases
liberal application of lime should be
used. Whenever there is any doubt
as to whether a piece of land needs
lime, the best thing to do is to apply
lime to small part of it and see If
there is any improvement. From this
small experiment plot the course of
management can be determined.
In starting permanent pasture the
soil should be in good condition and
well manured, and If the soil is acid
it should be lined. After a pasture is
started it can be built up with little
attention at the right time.
The barren places should receive
a liberal application of commercial
fertilizer. The best time to seed and
fertilize is in the early spring. One
Of the best things to keep up a pas
ture is to treat it literally with stable
manure. The best time to apply this
is in the fall or during the winter.
Weeds and unpalatable grasses are
left by the cattle, and if they are not
down they will go'to seed and thus
become thicker year after year. Now
ing should be done one or more times.
and before the seeds could possibly
be mature. The material may be left
on the land, where it acts as mulch
and fertilizer.

more expensive. The frame must be
well braced to prevent sagging, and
the walls getting out of plumb. 1t
would be cheaper to use the cement
blocks. One foot is thick enough for
the walls if reinforced with wire. A
wire should be run spirally a foot
apart around silo. Where doors are to
be, fasten wire to irons set in door
frame, with head, set in the side
of door space. Use one part cement
to 11s sand and 21s broken stone.
Mix thoroughly before wetting. If you
are unfamiliar with the use of ce-
ment, it will be unwise to attempt
such a structure without the help of a
skilled mason.

IN PRAISE OF THE COUNTRY.
Residence There Has Many Advan-
tases of Which City DweIler
Knows Nothing.

There are hardships in the country;
struggles are necessary to wrest live
lihood from the soil or from business
in a small community. But every
stroke can be made to count for per-
manence, comments the Columbia
State. The food and the air are bet
ter; mans independence is more real,
where he can own the roof that shell
ters him and the ground upon which
he can grow his provisions. Every
cow or horse added to his holdings Is
an increase of his capital. Little by
little, year by year, he can, with indus
try and good judgment, increase his
store of worldly goods and give to
his children tangible inheritance, a
foothold in their own land, an anchor
age from which the shifting tides of
trade cannot dislodge them. And while
such family is living it's own life,
solving it's own problems, 1t may en-
Joy the same literary and artistic
pleasures, and the same general ad
vantages that the city family has.

CHEESE AND BUTTER.
Managers of Factories and Cream
cries in Ontario Must Be
Licensed.

At the end of 1910 no person will
be allowed to act as manager of
cheese factory or creamery in Ontario
unless he possess a certificate OF
qualification from a dairy school, or
secures a special permit from the de.
partment of agriculture. A bill GOV.
ering this will become law at the ses.
sion of the Ontario legislature. The
effect of such legislation If properly
worked out and enforced should be
greatly to enhance the value of the
cheese and butter makers profession,
and raise the standard of wages, says
the Rural New Yorker. The man who
can qualify will be all right and will
welcome this legislation. The other
man, who manages, by underbidding
competent men, to get job as man
ager, will be down and out. And so
he should be, If he cannot turn out
the kind of goods the critical market
of to-day demands. This certificate
plan, though 1t may increase the cost
of making somewhat, should be of ad.
vantage to the employer also. He
will have some guarantee that the
man he engages to manage his bust.
ness Is qualified for the work. This
should be worth something, and he
should be willing to pay little for
the sense of security which the GER
tificate system will give him. There is
this to be said, however. No maker,
however we'll qualified he may be,
should be expected to make first
class article of cheese or butter out
of bad milk or cream, or in building
that is unsanitary or has not the prop.
er equipment. Given good milk or
cream and proper sanitary conditions
and equipment, an employer has the
right to expect that maker who can
qualify for certificate under this
new legislation will be able to turn
out first-class finished product at all
times. If this new legislation will
not do this, then it would better moi
be put in force.

RlsKED LIFE FOR COUNTRY.
Capt. Tibbetts of Maine Resisted Ar
gument, Threats and Bribery to
Keep Powder from Rebels.

All the patriots and stanch union
men who claim Maine as their home
didn't volunteer to go to the front and
carry muskets during the civil war.
Many of them performed even greater
services for their government in peace
full pursuits.
One man who risked his fortune,
his reputation as successful ship
master and took his life in his hands
to perform a service for the govern
ment at time when such services
were needed, was Capt. Lincoln w.
Tibbetts of Portland. 1t was 40
years before congress recognized his
just claims and paid the debt it owed
Capt Tibbetts.
On December 10, 1860. Capt. Tib-
belts was the master of the brig Tor
nado. The south knew the war was
coming and were preparing for it.
The north was yet to be awakened to
the danger of war, and had made no
preparations. The Tornado was char
tered in New York to carry 5000 kegs
of gunpowder, weighing 500 tons, TO
/ New Orleans.
/ into a hurricane. The ship was dis
masted With a jury rig Capt. Tib-
belts got her into the island of St.
Thomas to refit.
There, for the first time, he learned
that the treats of the south were be-
ing carried out, that state after state
was seeding from the union and that
the confederates were seizing govern
ment forts and arsenals. He was un-
der every obligation, as far as his
charter and his owners instructions
went, to deliver that cargo of gun
powder to New Orleans.
At ST. Thomas there were many
southern sympathizers. They knew
what the Tornado carried and appre-
ciated its full value to the south.
Some of them sounded Capt. Tibbetts
as to his intentions and found that
he had determined to return to New
York with the cargo as soon as his
brig was ready to sail. They tried
argument, bribery and finally threats
against the plucky Yankee slipper
He had no one to counsel with, even
his old acquaintances at st. Thomas
were sympathizers with the south and
insisted that he should take the gun
powder into New Orleans.
Several weeks passed while the brig
was being fitted with new masts. Eff

forts were made to interfere with the
brig, to induce the crew to desert
while the southerners in st. Thomas
tried every way to induce the Yankee
skipper to go on with his cargo.
Compared with the money involved
and the consequences to himself by a
failure to carry out his contract, he
felt that his responsibility to his coun-
try in time of distress was of far
greater Importance. So he set sail
from st. Thomas and headed for New
York with his cargo intact and fol-
lowed by the curses of the friends of
the newly formed confederacy on
shore.
In due time he reached New York,
and his vessel was seized. The coun-
try was much wrought ur by things
which had happened in the meantime,
and little consideration was given the
rights of individuals. The cargo was
taken out of the Tornado and she was
held in port while other ships were
in demand for the carrying of war
material.
Several weeks went by, and the
brave Yankee shippers claims for or.
dinary consideration were lost sight
of and his loyalty to the government
passed unnoticed. OF course Capt
Tibbetts and the owners of the Tor
nado had lost their freight money and
the services of the brig for many
weeks. Efforts were made to have
these claims recognized, but without
| avail They did not ask TO be reward
ed for depriving the enemy of neces
sary war material, but they asked
only for the loss they had sustained
in the interest of the government.
Forty-flve years passed before con
gress granted the claim of Capt. Tib
belts. Then $500 was appropriated
to settle the claim. Throughout tn;
war the captain played an importan
part in supplying the armies of the
union with feed and war material
sailing from port to port with valu
able cargoes, running the risk of cap
ture by privateers and the loss of hi
fortune.

SLIDING OF FEED.
There Are Various Feeds That Can
Be Preserved, But Indian
Corn Is Best.

The siloing of feed compares favor
ably with the canning of fruits and
vegetables. There are various feeds
that can be sliced, but it has been
definitely determined that Indian corn
is best adapted to the purpose. How
ever, alfalfa and cowpeas or soy beans
are being sliced at the present time
with great success, says writer in
the Northwest Pacific Farmer. A mix
ture of alfalfa and corn or soy beans
and corn is preferable to either of the
balanced nutriments which these
feeds contain.
The advantages of silos are numer-
Gus. The silo enables the farmer to
preserve large quantity of the food
material of the original fodder for the
feeding of farm animals than is pos
sible by any other system Of preser-
vation now known. Pasture grass is
the ideal feed for live stock, but is not
available more than a few months in
the year. The same is true of all
siloing crops. When made into hay,
the grasses, and all other green crops
lose some of the food material con-
tanned in them, on account of the loss
of leaves and other tender parts, and
on account of fermentation that takes
place while the plant is drying out or
being cured
In the case of Indian corn, the loss
from the latter source is considerable,
owing to the coarse stock of the plant
and the large number of air cells in
the pith. Under the best conditions
cured fodder corn would lose at least
ten per cent. of its food value when
cured in shocks. Such low percent.
age of loss can only be obtained when
the shocks are cared for on the cut.
ter and put in the field under ideal
weather conditions. In ordinary farm
practice the loss in nutritive value will
approach % per cent. and will even
exceed this figure unless special pre-
cautions are taken in handling the
fodder.
Comparing these large losses in food
material in field-cured Indian corn
there is comparatively small loss II
the silo, caused by fermentation ol
decomposition of the living plant cell:
as they are dying off. 1t has beer
frequently determined that the aver
age loss of dry matter in the fodder
corn during the silo season does no
exceed four per cent.

Notes for the Earmer.

Good grooming is as essential to
the health of horses as judicious feed
ing and watering. All animals require
a variety of food, and this should be
considered in the ration of working
horses.
Experiments at the Kansas and In
diana stations show that the continued
feeding of moldy corn to horses
causes nervous and intestinal tror
bles OF serious nature.
If you want to discover the weak
points of horse, take him and ex-
anime him while at rest They show
up better than while the animal is in
action.
