po..isilitie. OF Our Farm Lands.

N
From the standpoint of the most re-
liable and recent Investigations ana
information, our land, handled In ac-
cordance with certain natural laws
that determine its proper cultivation,
will not only furnish food and cloth
ing for an immensely greater popula-
ton for ages, but will supply fuel and
light and power when coal and petro-
leufn shall have been exhausted But
we must look to better methods of soil
usage for the alternative of bringing
under cultivation unused and aban-.
doned swampy conditions, although
adding vast total to our cultivable
fields, will not always suffice to meet
the growing demand. Already many
sections Of congested population are
calling upon outside sources for food,
and many of the large cities at times
actually suffer from vegetable famines.
Such shortages are due to more or
less local and abnormal conditions, but
might become general and permanent
unless wise foresight should make pro-
vision for feeding our rapidly increas-
ing population.
The producing possibility of our cul-
tivable lands becomes almost incon-
ceivable to the mind when we consid-
er that only small proportion of the
land nominally in farms is actually
under cultivation, and that our acreage
yields are ridiculously low in compar-
ison with those of highly developed
agricultural countries like Germany,
France and England, notwithstanding
that our soils are naturally as produc-
tive. says the American Review OF Re
views.

The effect of feed on the strength OF
bone in pigs forms the text of bull
letin by Nebraska Experiment Sta.
ton. The experiment shows very
marked increase in the strength OF
bone when tankage or ground bone is
fed in addition to corn. In determin-
ing the strength of bones the two
principal bones in each leg of each
animal were removed and broken in a
machine. There were four pigs fed In
each lot, making the figures given the
average of the breaking of thirtytwo
bones in each lot. The average break
ing strength per 100 pounds live
weight of hogs after twenty-five weeks
feeding was as follows: Lot |. corn.
1926 pounds; lot 2, corn and shorts.

During recent years number OF
the state experimental stations have
carried on series of experiments
which have demonstrated that silage
can advantageously be fed to beef cat
tie. The Tennessee Experimental Sta
tion has especially given close atten-
tion to this matter, probably more SO
than any other station, and in one Oh
Its bulletins shows how silage IN
creases the carrying capacity OF the
land. Ordinarily from two to three
acres of blue grass is required to carry
a 1,000-pound steer after six montns,
when gaining from 800 to 400 pounds.
Four 800-pound steers were fed for lou
days on the production Of less than
an acre Of land in the form of silage
and gained 1865 pounds during that
period.
When beef is raised on long that IS
high-priced, the above facts show espe-
cial strength in favor Of silage. In
1903 feed test was carried on by the
Michigan Station for the purpose OF
ascertaining the relative number OF
pounds of beef that could be produced
from corn fed in the form of silage, IN
the form of shock corn and In the
form of corn and corn meal The corn
was secured from three different pieces
OF land, each nearly an acre in size.
In addition to the corn fed in this man
ner the steers were fed daily ratlons
OF 5 pounds of corn and cob meal,
pounds Of oil meal and 4 pounds OF
clover hay. After the experiment had
continued for twelve weeks the aver
age daily gain Of the steers had been
as follows: For the silage-fed lot,
2.22 pounds; for the shock-fed, 2.O2,
and for the corn and cob meal lot,
1.89 pounds. While 1t may be argued
that this experiment should be re-
peated before conclusions can be drawn
from 1t, still so far as these figures go
the results were in favor of harvesting

When a horse has been injured on
wire the first thing to do is to stop
the flow Of blood; this may as rule
be done by bandaging it up tight. 1t
may also frequently be best to apply
powreded alum or common saleratus,
both of which will generally be found
effective. In few hours, considerable
swelling will set in; this should be re-
duced either by applying cold water
frequently, or, what is really better,
applying pure kerosene oil, not only to
the wound, but also to the swollen
parts. No bandage should be kept on
where kerosene is used, as 1t will then
cause the hair to fall off temporarily,
and as soon as it Is safe to do so, the
sore should be carefully washed with
soft water and CASTLE soap. This ought
to be repeated daily until the sore
heals. One of the best healing medi-
cines for horse flesh that | have ever
used can be put up at any drug store,
as follows: One-half pint of alcohol,
one-half pint of spirits of turpentine,
one ounce Of pure glycerine; mix all
together In a large bottle and shake
well before using. Apply only with
feather at morning and night. The
sore should never be bandaged. BY
daily washing it will in this way heal
up very rapidly. can personally tes-
tify to the effectiveness of this simple
remedy, as we have made use Of it in
numerous cases, with the best results,
where every other remedy we tried
failed to heal up the sore on the horse.
