If You Own Cows

will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-mOnthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his COWS yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
80 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

grain. though doughy, will fill out COM
pletely in the shock. The same prin-
ciple applies with other small grain.
But it is safe to cut wheat with more
sap in the straw than can be allowed
in oats without danger of molding.
Old time careful shockers are scarce
in these days. Our fathers set the bun
dies down firmly in the stubble, pressed
the heads together compactly and
broke the caps well, Such shocks
would turf an immense amount of rain
and withstand high winds. Now many
trifling hirelings must be trusted with
this business, and the shocks. loosely
thrown together with a woOlly, un-
broken bundle carelessly slapped on
tor, turn water only until it rains and
possibly stand up until hit by brisk
breeze. Stacking, too, is not so gener-
ally understood as it was years ago.
The anxiety to get the entire harvest
business finished quickly has led men
to expose their grain to great risks
through weeks Of standing in the
shock. Every farmer should learn how
to stack
A few simple rules about starting,
laying out the bulge, filing the middle,
drawing in and Gaping govern this
work. The best way to learn is to
persuade an old. successful stacker to
pass bundles and direct the work. The
cost of thraShing from the shock is
practically the same as for both stack
ing and thrashing, Well stacked grain
has the advantage Of almost certain
improvement in plumpness and quality
in going through the sweat. and it is
safe from rain. The labor Of stirring
hot wheat and the loss from sprouting
in the shock would far more than pay
for the stacking. Prudent farmers are
turning more favorabIy to stacking of
late years, especially when they would
otherwise be the last in a big ring OF
shock thrashng
Harvest time is crowned in song and
story and poetic fancy with a glorious
halo of beautiful inspiration and laud
able achievement, says a writer in the
Breeders Gazette. The sturdy mer
engaged in the work have little time
or inclination for idcaliZing. The biz
straw hats shelter brains that are busy
with practical details of the great
business of providing the world will
bread.

CHANGES IN THE SOIL.
Nebraska Trying to Ascertain Effects
of Present Methods of Farming.

Nebraska Trying to Ascertain Effects
of Present Methods Of Farming.
The Nebraska experiment station has
, been making some Investigations in the
line of determining the amount of soil
depletion by present methods of farm
ing. These were confined to the deep,
/ heavy loan soils that are common to
many parts of the northwest
A recent bulletin gives the results Of
the analyses Of many samples Of soil
taken at different depths from the sur
! face inch to the sixth foot. 1t also
shows the composition of the surface
soil of prairie fields compared with
that Of adjacent long cultivated fields
| the history of which Is known.
1t would appear from the analyses
| that the only form Of plant food that
| has as vet shown diminution sutt-
| Cient TO he detected by chemical analy-
! sis is nitrogen. The only important soil
| constituents. whether used as plant
! food or not. that have declined appre-
ciably after thirty to fifty years of cul-
! tivation are the nitrogen and organic
| matter These two constituents rise
and fall together. They decrease rap
| idly in amount from the surface down
ward. Accordingly the washing away
or blowing away of the surface soil
will make the soil poorer In these con-
stituents. The greatest losses in the
past have been caused by washing or
blowing. The content of the other
forms Of plant food is rather higher in
the subsoil than in the surface soil and
accordingly Is not injuriously affected
by the removal of surface soil.
To maintain the surplus Of nitrogen
and organic matter it will be neces-
sary to prevent the removal Of surface
| soil by wind or water in so far as pos
sible Further. the burning Of straw
and stalks should be avoided, and all
| barnyard manure should be returned
to the land. Even If these precautions
be observed. there will be steady de.
cline in the cultivated fields unless le'
gumes Glover or alfalfa) be grown OF
the produce Of other fields be fed and
the manure applied. By growing clio
yer or alfalfa the nitrogen and organic
matter may be increased at the same
time that profitable crop is obtained

BeekeepGrs, Attention

Be sure to. wash your hands
and face in vinegar before you
try to rob the bees
When you want to take out
5 honey. cut out all the white and
} leave the dark for the bees.
Bees will make just rs much
honey in a box hive as they

Sprinkle salt under and around
) your hive to keep away the
Z moths. the enemies Of the bees.
The bees business end strikes
every one forcibly. No product
now wasted can be more easily
saved than nectar which bees
work up into honey.
The question is frequently ask
ed why extract honey is sold
cheaper than comb honey. 1t
is because the comb is of more
value than the honey. 1t re-
quires twenty pounds of honey
to make Que pound Of comb.
