Reporter Was Nervous.

A good joke is told on an editor who
went to report party at home re-
Gently blessed with new baby. He
met his hostess at the door and after
the usual salutations he asked after the
baby's health. The lady who was quite
deaf. and suffering with the grippe.
thought he was asking after her cold
and answered that although she usually
had one every winter, this was the
worst one she ever had; 1t kept her
awake at night a good deal and at first
confined her to bed. Then noticing
that the newspaper man was getting
nervous she said she could tell by his
looks that he was going to have one
just like hers, and asked him to go in
and sit down.

The Problem of Mulching.

Until within recent years it was
thought that the only object to be gain
ed in covering strawberry plants was
that of::preventing that action of frost
upon the surface soil which always
tends to "heave" plants.
In fact this is the idea generally held
at the present time, for it is only the
few who have given the matter careful
thought who have come to realize that
strawberry plants partake of the nature
of the evergreen plant. That is to say,
the leaves of the present season s
growth will, if not left exposed to win
ter's sunshine and frost, remain green,
and take up anew in the spring, life's
activities until superseded by new
growth.
One has but to try lthe principle out
in a practical demonstration in order to
prove the truth.of what we affirm.
Cover part of the bed early, as soon
as freezing sets in and leave the re-
mainder without protection. AS the
plants assume activities note the differ
ence in the appearance and behavior of
the protected and those not.
The plant comprising that part of the
bed receiving protection will come
through the winter green, land start out
vigorously to fulfill life's mission.
Those left to the mercy of the ele-
ments will have a dried-up, sickly,
don Live. or-die appearance.
These plants will resume activities
slowly. Poor results will be in evidence
throughout the season and at fruiting
time, in a marked degree, depending
upon the amount of snow upon the
ground during the winter and spring.
The grower cannot afford to let his
plants go through the winter without
protection, no matter whether the
amount grown be acres or just garden
bed.
Having decided that mulching is neces-
sary to the successful cultivation of our
plants, the question arises, when shall
l apply this mulch, and what shall l use?
In our own operations we have secur-
ed the best results when the mulch has
been applied early, even before the
ground was frozen. Neither did it
freeze later, for snow came early and
remained all winter.
AS to materials. Anything that will
protect the plants: from the suns rays
will answer the purpose, but of course
| some materials are better than others.
The coarser the..material the better,
! because it does not then pack 80 closely

What People Don't Know.

Among the prophecies to be heard
are: can early spring" "A record
breaking crop year. Bigger yields
than in 19O9," etc.
There is little of the future known to
man and while it is to be hoped that
these optimistic prophecies will make
good, they are apt to be somewhat
strongly drawn.
An early spring would be fine, as it
lengthens working and crop producing
year, giving it greater possibilities
But better all-'round year than last
could hardly be expected, for yields
were good and prices above the average
At present there is little if anything
discouraging in the prospect. The win
ter has been steady and the range
snowfall ample to supply water, still
the spring period is yet 10 be passed,
during which danger to fruit is always
a possibility, though the smudge pot
has considerably lessened this. Natu-
rally we can expect the usual good
crops in most if not all the agricultural
lines, sugar beets, garden products,
berries, melons, alfalfa and those other
resources which are practically sure.

over the plants, excluding air to q
greater or lesser extent.
1t is desirable that the material to be
used be as free from weed-seeds as DOS
sible, for the foul seeds often contained
in straw do cause great deal of trouble
entailing no little extra labor.
We have had experience with all sorts
of materials, and the best so far which
we have used has been marsh hay, be.
cause OF its coarseness and freedom
from weed-seeds.
Such material is not often available,
however. Corn fodder make an excel
lent mulch, and for the same reasons.
Straw is more commonly used, per-
haps. We have even Used light GOV.
ering of earth sprinkled over the plants
just as the ground was freezing, and it
proved to be much better than no COW
ering at all.
The plants of this bed had fruited
once and the soil was of friable text
ure with natural sub b-drainage. would
use such material only as last resort.
Forest leaves make a good mulch,
but must be held in place by some
heavier material and this weight should
be placed at once.
The ever-increasing scarcity and value
of straw is making the mulching prob
lem more perplexing one each season.
Yet, even though the cost of mulching
be regarded as considerable, the invest
ment brings as large, or larger returns
than any other connected with the grow
ing of this fruit.
Grown as grow the strawberry, l
would not hesitate at $50 per acre for
mulching material, or even a much
larger sum. M. N. EDGERToN.

Where the Meat Profit Goes.

Thirty-eigh per cent above wholesale
pays if Secretary Wilson'S investiga-
tions are correct, and he says they are.
Fifty cities, large medium and small,
in all parts of the country were selected
for study of the meat question; and
careful comparison of the wholesale
price and the price charged consumers
by retail dealers were made. In eleven
cities the difference between wholesale
and retail prices was over SO per cent;
and they ran down to less than 20 per
per cent in five cities, the average being
38 per cent.

Cow Feed Comes
High These Days.

In all sections where dairying is being
conducted cattle foods are each year be-
coming more costly, and every dairy
man should make every effort to reduce
the cost of his ccw feeds.
Instead of feeding hay that is worth
fifteen dollars ton, he should replace
large portion of it with ensilage,
which can be raised chiefly by machine
labor.
Instead of supplementing poor
pasture with purchased grain foods, he
should raise oats and peas, green corn
and other green soiling crops.
Instead of buying fattening foods
like corn-meal, he should buy milk pro-
ducing foods like bran, cottonseed- meal
and gluten meal. AS rule it is most
profitable to buy the kind that will
produce the most protein at the least
COST
Make the business as self-supporting
as possible by raising as much of the
feed for the dairy as your farm and
circumstances will allow.
Many of the failures in dairying are
due to the fact that farmers disregard
these points and go out and buy gram
foods without discriminating judgment.
To keep good cows and feed them
G BOD. wholesome food in abundance and
provide this food cheaply is absolutely
necessary if we make a substantial
profit from the business.

Drauing Fertilizer From the Air.

Every farmer knows that his fertil-
izers must be rich in nitrates to produce
the best results, and he also knows that
such fertilizers are expensive.
Through the invention of a Norwegian
chemist, the prospect is now good for
supply of fertilizing nitrates at low
price and in unlimited quantities. Pro-
fessor Birkeland of Christiania. while
making some electrical experiments.
discovered that he had found a way of
extracting the nitrogen from the air.
Accordingly he set about perfecting
his accidental invention.
This was six years ago. There is now
in Norway company, backed ~
English and German capital. which is
turning out calcium nitrate-a compound
of lime and nitrogen-by the ton for
use as fertilize. The lime they dig
from the hills, and air-a mixture of
oxygen and nitrogen-furnish the ma
terial.
Common air is forced through a
powerful electric flame, and its two
gases uHlte " loTiu uiIEiC OAio-d gas
which absorbs more oxygen when ex-
posed to air. BY well-known process
it is changed to nitric acid, which is
caused to combine with limestone. The
product is calcium nitrate, which is
ground into powder. 1t is said to be
az good fertilizer as Chile nitrate,
which is sodium nitrate.
So great are the profits in the busi-
ness that American capitalists are
developing here different process.
They first liquefy air, and then obtain
thelnitrogen from it by distillation. The
nitrogen is forced into an electric fur
mace, in which coke and lime have been
caused to combine and form calcium
carbid. The carbid absorbs the nitro :
gen, and becomes calcium cyanamid, a
valuable fertilizer.
1t is only within a year or SO that
these artificial nitrates have been pro-
duced id commercial quantities. 1t has
long been known that nitrogen could be
supplied to field by plowing in crop
of clover or some other leguminous
plant which draws the nitrogen from
the air in large quantities. But by the
new processes the farmer can get
nitrogen into the soil without having to
give up the use of the land for a year.

the money was used to buy reaper

machinery was in the field where he had
last used it. Upon the farmers con-
fession that he believed it was, the
banker told him to go home and house
his implements from the weather and
then return to have his note renewed.
Even at that, we would consider the
loan doubtful. -Ex.
