A CLAM HATCHERY.

The pearl button manufacturers Of the country feel much pleased over the prospect of the clam hatchery which is to be erected at Fairport, a little town near Muscatine, Ia. The work is to be in charge of officials of the bureau of fisheries and will cost about $GO,OCO. The plant will consist of buildings, pumping station and laboratories, and sixty acres of land, the greater portion of which is sloping and will be cut up into d series of some fifty terraced ponds, the water being pumped into those on the high CT level and gradually seeping through to those below. So closely have the American streams in which clans abound been dredgcd in the past few years that the supply bids fair to become exhausted unless pre- cautions are taken to protect and prop agate them artifcialIy.

A SEVERE CRITICISM.

There has been much criticism re- gently of the method which is followed by the government in the disposal of public lands, which requires the would be homesteader to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to register for rawing when hardly one person in 300 can possibly be successful. One of the severest critics of this system in vogue is President Hill of the Great Northern road, which has been bene fited to the extent of millions of dol lars in car fare through the transpOrta .n of folks to these land drawings. In speaking of the Flathead Indian reservation drawing in western Mon tana, MT. Hill says that less than ? per cent of the people who registered had a chance to draw any land at all, while good share of the claims which were thrown open to entry were well nigh worthless. He concludes: Il have met lots of people who gave up good positions in the east and went out there. only to be bitterly disappointed. The thing is entirely impracticable and on the order of a sWindlc to take the peoples money away and give it to the railroads" In view of such a con- demnation as this. coming as it does from a beneficiary of the system at present in vogue, it would seem that Uncle Sam might we'll see his way clear to devise a more just and less expensive method of dispOsing of his public domain

GOOD LIME FOR LAND.

Replying to query relative to the application of the limestone byproducr of beet sugar factories to sour or acid soils, the Illinois experiment station states that such product will be as valuable for this purpose as finely ground limestone, provided the burn@ lime used does not contain too much magnesium. which elemcTt should not exceed or per cent. V ".c it does not contain magnesium n rEcess it has some advantages eve" natural ground limestone in thGt it contains much of tho phosphorus of the sugar beet. together with considerable quan- titles of organic nitrogen from the protein and alDume@o.I co@2cuads of the beetS.

A CABBAGE SNAKE QUERY.

A lady reader of these notes living near MassillOn, O., writes making in quiry if there is any ground for the impression existing in some localities that the cabbage snake or worm is poisonous, or, rather, if cabbages in- habited by them are such, she having found one twelve inches long coiled up in q bunch about as large as hickorynut. There was quite a stir over this matter three or four years ago, and enough was published in the papers so that the cabbage growers of the country lost many thousands of dollars. With view to getting at the truth about the matter the agricul- tural department at Washington made a thorough investigation at the time and reported that there was no con- nectiOn and could be no connection whatever between the presence of these long white worms in cabbages and the illness or death of persons eat ing them. The probabilities are that if deaths ever did occur from eating cabbage they were due rather to the fact that the cabbages had been sprin- kled with paris green after they had begun to head or were stale when eat ell, ptomaine poisoning resulting from the process of decay which had al- ready set in. It is, true that the mere idea of one of these snakes being in a cabbage and being boiled up with it is calculated to upset ones stomach, but that it produces a poison is entirely beyond the range of possibility. If our inquirer is of an Investigating turn of mind she may demonstrate the truth of the above claims by boiling the snake up in some milk and feed ing it to a kitten. Should there be any truth whatever in the poison theory the kitten will show the effects of it. If the kitten is not affected 1t is safe to conclude that a child or grown person would not be.

1t is strange that the stock judges a: the big shows don't insist that animals outside of the fat steer class ripe for slaughter should come before them for honors in normal breeding trim instead of the overstuffed. fat and logy cOndi tion which characterizes so many ami mals in the show ring. Especially is this true of the heavier breeds of cat tie, which have to be stuffed and poi ished for weeks and put into an un- natural condition in order to fit then; for exhibition. The harm in the sys- tenn lies in the fact that it gives q wrong impression. and leads many a breeder to believe that unless an ami nal has mountains of fat on it it is not well bred, which is as far as can be from the truth.

John Sundberg of Iowa, whose rec ord of producing 155 bushels of corn per acre the past season wGs mention cd in these notes, will have to take q back seat for MT Batts of Wake coun- ty. N. C.. who the past year raised 226 2-3 bushels on an acre Cf ground, as certified to by the state commission CT of agriculture and the chairman of the Raleigh board of trade. This corn would not rank high as viewed by corn show standards. but it delivered the goSds-the shellcd corn. The variety was Cocke's Prolific, which on the acre in question averaged four cars to the stalk. some stalks carrying as many as eight ears. The blue rii:!un for the highest yield in 1908 Wal Hrried off by a grower in the same C .3ty, with 151 bushels.

One of the chief drawbacks to soG in the orchard or a mulching system which involves a lot of dry litter about the trees is the danger from fire. espc- cially in the spring when things have dried out by warm winds and before the green herbage starts. Where it i; deemed best for any good reason tc keep an orchard in sod this fire daIgcl should be guarded against by havin" a strip plowed around the orchard which will stop a fire originating out side, while occasional furrows ill the orchard will prevent the spread of d fire from one part of the orchard to another

The grower of spring or hard wheat on land worth $50 an acre, with a yield that the past year averaged but fifteen bushels per acre in the spring wheat belt, is up against a practical proposi- tion-namely, his returns at prevailing prices after expenses are paid don't leave him a fair return on his invest ment. He must either raise a variety of wheat that will yield more bushels to the acre or quit raising wheat alto gether except in a three or four year rotation.

The frost of winter cracks the water pipes, nips the vegetables stored in bin and cellar and kills tender fruits not well protected, but the service it performs in disintegrating and loosen ing the soil of the field and making it easy for the plowman to handle is be- yond calculating, more than offsetting the harm it works.

The fact that a fellow names his farm is no proof that he is boastful or stuck on himself, but simply that he considers what he is doing sufficiently worth while so that he is not ashamed to have the public know to whom the place belongs. If a fellow doesn't be- lieve in naming his farm, there is doubtless a practical reason for it that is not far to seek.

Farmers bulletin No. 3SO, published by the bureau of plant industry, treats of loco weed poisoning and has been issued largely in response to demands of ranchmen of the western plain and Rocky mountain states where the loco weed is found. While investigations into the matter have not been com pleted, some of the findings are of def nite and practical value. The bulletin states that of the two varieties of loco weed. purple and white, the for mer, althOusl the more poisonous, af- fleets horses almost exclusively. as cat tie and sheep rarely eat it. The white is eaten by al three animals and pro duces disease ill all of them.

The 1909 corn crop is far and away the most valuable ever raised, its worth being placed at $1,72OOOO,OO0. While in quantity it is less than the crop of 1906, there was still total of 2,767,, 100000 bushels, which is 3.5 per cent greater than the average for the past five years. The value of the 1909 crop exceeds by 3G per cent the value of the crops for the past five years.

Experiments which have been recent ly conducted by the aricultural depart ment show that fruit like oranges, grapes and apples may have their life considerably extended by cooling to a temperature of 40 degrees before shipment. Normally fruit is picked and packed under warm conditions and, while it cooIs during shipment does not cool rapidly enough to pre- vent the rapid ripening of some fruit and the decay of other fruit. It seems clear that this preceding will not only extend the area over which such fruit may be shipped, but it will improve it's quality and reduce the amount of ice required ill refrigeration.

It is probably safe to assume that if the true status of all dairy herds in the country could be known tu- berculosis would be found one of the greatest sources of no profit cows. The dairyman who applies the tuberculin test to his herd and eliminates af fected animals not only does the public service by disposing of hotbeds of disease, but in the long run puts dol lars in his own pocket. Should he add to the tuberculin the Babcock test, to tell him what his COWS are doing along the line of butter fat production, he will be able to spot every undesirable individual in the herd.

Added to the fact that most corn cribs are built too wide and without chance for proper ventilation is anoth- CT cause which is responsible for the spelling of much corn in the cribs dur ing seasons like the past. when the ear does not dry out properly before husking, and that is a slipshOd job of husking which leaves much silk and husks on the corn as it is cribbed serving to still further prevent proper circulation of the air.

The grand champion fat steer of the 1909 international was King Ellsworth, two-year-old pure bred Angus shown by the Kansas Agricultural college and weighing 1,75O. The same animal was exhibited last year, when he weighed 1,4OO pounds. His ration the past year has been corn, bran and oilmeal, with alfalfa hay. In the car lot exhibits the Shorthorns had the best of it, not only winning the championships in the fat and feeding classes, but the grand championship carload, the first time in the history of the big show, the prize bunch being a carload of yearlings.
