Electricity Aids Herd.

According to Prof silas wentworth Of
Los Gatos, Cal. his experiments with cleo
trio influence on animal and vegetable life
at his experimental farm on the Tyler
place, near Roseville, during the past year,
have proved that electricity viii more than
double the lamb crop and greatly increase
the yield OF wool. A band OF 1000 sheep
was divided. one-half being placed IN
field under the power wires OF the Great
Western Power company, while others
were kept in a field away from the cleo
trio influence. In the field under the high
potential electric power lines the produc-
ton Of lambs averaged a fraction over two
lambs to each eve, In the adjoining field,
where the electrical influence was lacking.
the lambs averaged less than one 20 each
eve. Similar differences were noted in the
Yield OF wool from sheep In the different
fields. Fleece from sheep in the electric
Influenced field proved 20 per cent heavier
Preparations are now being made to
pillow up both fields and plant wheat
The mower company will be asked 70 ex-
tend power lines throughout the entire
Tyler field, that the influence OF the cleo
trio current may be increased. Prof
wentworth believes. that the Yield OF

young people are out to hear the dis
cussions by the lecturers. He also as
serts that the demand for such education
as steady thing is so strong 1t is a
question of but short time until the
science of agriculture and domestic econ
omy will be brought into the rural and
town schools Of Iowa. An interest has
been created and an ambition has been
aroused that will compel the school au-
thorities to provide the trained teachers
necessary to outline and apply the les

men on the special train.

$1,000 people will have inspected the ex-

right down to the meat Of the real things
their hearers desire to know about. Every

The easy possibility of doubling the
amount Of crops now produced on the or
binary farm is forcibly brought home to
the owners by Professor Stevenson. He
goes into details in such a way that his
presentment is bound to have a most
beneficent effect on the work Of the men

ciseness of thought is made necessary by
the brief time given to each stop, with the
result that the takers have cut out every
thing but the essentials Of their topics
Southern Iowa has what is known as a
gard pan" soil, with qualities peculiarly
its own, and Prof. Stevenson has been de-
voting some of his time to presenting in
forming data touching this soil. He ex-
plains just what methods to adopt and
what fertilizers to use in multiplying the
crop yield. and then takes up the question
of how to drain heavy. wet land and put
it in prime condition for crop growing That
millions of acres of the upland prairie soil
of southern Iowa needs drainage on a well
dgested plan is well known and the
scientists on the soils special give some
attention TO this problem. They hold this
drainage of the uplands is fully as neces-
sary as It is to drain the marsh lands Of
the northern section the state; and they
go further and enter into details of just
how this drainage is to be brought about.
Proper rotation Of crops, on any given
kind of SOIL to get the very best results
is discussed with conscientious care by the
lecturers. They explain the necessity for
an abundant supply of nitrogen and humus
in the soils where crops are to be raised,
and in this connection proved fertilizers
are told about, how much of each to use
and when Production and care of fertilizer
on the average farm is also gone into in
diligently, and the sinfulness Of waste OF
this very material product of the home
farm is brought home to the crowds of
farm owners and operatives.

when he heard the report Of gun.
He and the mother then threw M
