Time for Oats Land.

An application OF 1000 pounds Of
lime per acre was practically as eff
cient in case Of cats as an application
of 1900 pounds In tests made at the
New Jersey station. In the case Of
clover the larger application gave the
better results. Lime In the form Of
carbonate produced more dry matter
than nitrogen and ash burned lime
The results of the studies Of nitrogen
fixation were quite irregular, but agree
in general in indicating that the addi-
tion of fertilizer materials increased
nitrogen fixation and that carbonate Of
lime favored nitrogen fixation to a
greater extent than. burned lime.

There must be no guesswork about

young calf is easily ruined by slipshod
methods ofsfeeding. Think of this VIII
tempted to feed 1t milk that is too hot
or too cold in bucket that is not as
clean and sweet as it should be.
Milk that sticks to the sides Of the
pail and becomes sour is bad propo-
sition. as 1t may cause an attack of
the scours. This trouble means break
In the calfs growth, perhaps stunted
calf, and in the end an animal OF little
value.
Do not oblige the cows to bunk about
the straw pile until the chilly nights
are past. Dry spots for them to sleep
on are usually very scarce at that sea-
son of the year.
Don't turn the cattle to pasture too
early. A good plan to follow is to wait
until you conclude the grass is sufi-
GENTLY large to turn them on, then
wait week or ten days longer.

Uses Of Corn.

The Crop Reporter is endeavoring to
tell for what purposes corn is used. In
the year 1899, SO this authority states,
the total crop was 2,666,OOO,O00 bushels.
OF this crop 241, 100000 bushels were
consumed in the flour and grist mills
100000 in manufacture Of starch, o.
100000 for malt liquors, 100000 in
distilling of liquors, 100000 for glu-
cose, 190,000,000 for export, and 49,
100000 for seed. This accounts for
only 1913 per cent Of the entire crop
most of the remainder being used fol
feeding purposes. The more one studies
the corn crop, the more interesting II
becomes. Its magnitude as a food
giver and labor-employer grows will

American Limburger chee.e.

1t is now claimed that the United
States makes just as good limburger
cheese as does the province In Bel
GUM where 1t originated. The Ameri-
can method Is to take piece OF a
calf's stomach and set it away In a
warm place In can of whole milk. In
about forty minutes the curdling mess
lis pounded and then the whey pressed
out. Afterward forms are filed and
further drainage permitted. Salt Is
rubbed on the outside until 1t becomes
slippery; then the cheese Is set away
in the cellar to ripen for a month or
two and the germs do the rest.

Farm, Wells.

Unsanitary dairy wells are menace
to health, and as the country becomes
more closely settled more and more
care is necessary to provide good water.
The director of the Chicago hygienic
laboratory reports that of 1853 wells on
nearby dairy farms, examined by the
inspectors, only eleven were found to
be safe for domestic purposes. In all
cases the safe wells were those lined
with cement, with cement covers, with
protecting fange of cement several
feet out from the WELL In some of the
wells used for washing milk utensils,
high percentage of colon bacteria
were found, and In some cases manure
could be detected microscopically AMI
by the odor.

Make the Dairy Pay.


There are 21,194,O00 milch cows in
the United States-an average Of one
cow to four of the population. The
fact that there has been an increase
per capita of the consumption of milk
and decrease Of cows per capita of
the population indicates that there has
been an Improvement in the quality Of
the dairy cows Of the country.
In the decade of 1890 to 1900 the
average production of every dairy COW
Showed an increase of 1000 pounds of
milk, or 4 commercial gain Of SILL
100000. Yet with this Improvement adj
mitted. there are many dairies that are
being operated at loss. The life Of a
dairy COW is estimated at seven years
and her annual depreciation represents
one-seventh of her full value, which is
taken into consideration in computing
the profits of the herd. If the dairy
man would ascertain If his herd is pay
Ing profit he needs to charge for the
help to operate it, the cost of the
feed, the interest on the investment and
the normal depreciation Of the value
of the cows. All these items enter into
fixed operating charges and need to be
deducted from the gross receipts Of the
dairy before profits can be computed.
The receipts Of the dairy should not
only pay the operating expenses and
fixed charges, but also leave liberal
balance for profit.

coming of the Blondes were tremen-
dous. The newspapers criticised them
severely, calling their appearance indie
cent. and ministers denounced their per-
formance as the work Of the devil. And
now we have the Salome dance!
Notwithstanding the newspapers and
the ministers. Lydia Thompson met
with great receptions. She first ap-
peared In New York In the burlesque
"Ikion," and because the women of the
company wore blonde wigs they were
dubbed the British Blondes" a name
that clung to ihem. One of their per-
formanees, 'sThe Forty Thieves ran
for 100 nights something at that time
unprecedented. All told, Miss Thomp-
son made four visits to the United
States, touring as far as the Pacific
coast Her success may be indicated
By the fact that when she was In
Cincinnati even the bootblacks sub
scribed their dimes to present her with
silver wreath. In Chicago she horse
whipped a newspaper man who had
written an insulting article concerning
one of her songs.
Miss Thompson first appeared on the
London stage in 1852. Four years later
she toured Europe and she won such
favor that in many cities she was sere-
naded and escorted by torchlight
parades. Her last appearance on the
stage was In 1895, in London She was
72 when she died recently, having been
born In 1896.

Lame Back Prescription.

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable discussion among the medical
fraternity. 1t is an almost infallible
cure when mixed with certain other
ingredients and taken properly. The
following formula is effective: "To
one half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring" Toris compound
is product of the laboratories of the
Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but
it as well as the other ingredients can
be had from any good druggist.

ATiIIet for Late Crops.

Millet as late crop to plant in case
Of the failure Of the corn crop or fail
ure to get corn planted at all, is rec
commended by the Ohio station. The
earlier sorts can be seeded through
July, and make fair fields. Hay Is the
most common use made of the crop
and for this 1t compares favorably with
timothy, both In composition and di.
gestibility. 1t is good feed for cattle
horses and sheep, but when overripe
should not be fed to horses exclusively
as it affects the kidneys. Millet is also
grown for pasture seed, and even for
silage AS a soil cleaner, it is also al
most equal to summer fallow.
