That means OFF with the fat. 1t has

are, Of course. quite harmless. They
are rather beneficial than otherwise,

Hxed strips.
Plat two can be treated to nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash.
Plat three to phosphoric acid.
Plat five to nitrogen and potash.
Plat six to nitrogen and phosphoric

A comparison of the yields from two

is q benefit.
Comparing the crop yields of two

And comparing the yields from two
and six will indicate whether or no,

This is the method by, which the

results Of such tests are used as the
basis in advising farmers as to their

SENSE OF TASTE.

Curious sslsetivs Powers Exhibited BY.
the Tongue.
Four c:asses-sweet. bitter. salt and
acid-have been assigned to the sense
of taste In human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
duce all the delicious sensations that
we ascribe to taste as we'll as all the
disagreeable impressions Of that sense.
The tongue, however. is not equally
sensitive in all parts to these sensa-
tons. Indeed. 1t has been shown that
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip Of tbs
tongue, for instance, Is most sensitive
to sweet and to acid tastes. while it Is
taste than any other part OF the organ.
Some persons are unable to perceive
any bitter taste when quinine is ap.
piled only to the tip Of the tongue.
At the back Of the tongue the bitter
ness Of the drug il perceived at once.
An explanation of the curious selec-
tive powers exhibited by the tongue
Is that a variety Of nerve fbers are
present in that organ. each kind being
sensitive only to one of the four prin'
cipal classes Of taste. These nerve q.
bers are distributed in varying mum
bers over different parts Of the tongue
At the tip. for example. the nerves that
are sensitive to sweet and acid stimuli
are most numerous. and accordingly
In that locality those tastes are the
ones most readily perceived. At the
back of the tongue. on the contrary
the nerve fibers concerned in the per
ception Of bitterness prevail over thu
others.-New York Press.

Early residents there engaged In mil.

surrounded by double walls Of canvas
inclosing space between them. with

1t Is probably. indeed. that in the
beginning the tent itself was occasion

~ ISAAC L. TOTEM.

The price Of farm land has increas
ed so much during the past few years
that farmers are being forced to &C
more deeply into the details of their
business and learn what they should
have learned long ago-how to make
every inch of soil do full duty.
Right now, they are confronted with
the problem of how to procure from
their farms, returns in proportion to
the increased money value of their
land.
1t seems strange that any one engag
ed in q certain line of business can &c
on year after year in a matter Of fact
way without attempting to become
thoroughly conversant with the details
of that business; yet such cases are
not rare.
There are men on the farms today,
who have been actively engaged in
crop production for the past twenty
five and thirty years, and some long
er. who have no intelligent compre'
hension of the habits and demands OF
the plants they cultivate. nor have
they a very great amount of know
ledge Of the soil they till.
This may be accounted for in the
fact that they have not been forced
into 1t; but pressure is now being
brought to bear and something must
be done.
more and more difficult to procure
adequate farm labor, and this is max
ing the successful handling Of large
farms q considerable problem.
Intensive Ia the word that must be
substituted for the word extensive in
the vocabulary Of the farmer who does
not organize his farm operations on
the basis Of q large business enter
prise.
One farmer cannot expect to cope
with another farmer who raises the
same amount Of grain on practically
one-half the acreage. 1t Is quite evil
dent that the one has effected much
greater saving than the other, and
that the one Is much in advance of the
other at the end of the year.
The one. IL he were inclined to dc
30, and II there was much competi
ton. could undersell the other on the
market and yet make the greater pro
fit.
II one farmer can raise as good q
crop as his neighbor does and expend
half the energy. and crop half the
acreage in doing 1t. then it is quite
certain that the neighbor is not very
keenly alive to his business.
Indiana soils have been made> to
produce $50 bushels of corn per acre
yet the average production Of corn PEI

there Is something wrong somewhere

HOW TO MAKE SOIL TESTS

US quote paragraph from the report
of our state geologist:
MANY farmers are using some kind
Of commercial fertilizer as a means of
restoring to the soil the elements need.
ed. but too frequently the fertilizer
has not been selected with any refer.
ence to soil conditions or composition,
and the result would seem to show
further depletion of the soil rather
than an improved condition. Many 9th.
ers SOW clover to restore the native
fertility to the soil. but fall short of
their object by cutting off the first
crop of clover for hay and the second
! crop for seed, and thus robbing the
soil of the elements they wish to re.
store to it. The farmer who studies
carefully the existing soil conditions.
and who uses care in selecting his fer.
tilizers to restore deficient elements
has done much to make agriculture an
interesting and profitable occupation
There is a somewhat popular idea
that samples Of the soil must be sent
to the agricultural experiment station
" VIC 0A0Ay lou ny q CASLl6J III OIucI
to ascertain its requirements in the
line of fertilizers; but this idea is
wrong to large extent; because there
are no chemical methods known that
will accurately tell just how available
the plant food is in the soil.
1t is said that soil fertility is a
complex factor. depending upon many
things besides the total amount of
plant food that might be determined
by the chemist. It will do no harm,
however, to get in touch with our ag-
ricultural experiment station at Pur-
due on this subject Of knowing the ma
ture of our soils better, and how to i'm.
prove and maintain their fertility.
Just what fertilizers our soils need
is best determined by ourselves by
means of actual field tests. and the
results of these tests-the crop har-
vested-is the only authentic answer
to our questions as to what our soils
need in the line of fertilizers
OF course. as stated above, good ad-
vice can be obtained from our state
agricultural experiment station; but,
in seeking advice there, it is not suffi.
cient that We send only a sample of
our sold to be tested; we must give
detailed information regarding the way
in which We have been handling the
soil.
1t Is far better, however, for various
reasons-one of which is that of the
knowledge We gain in the work-that
We make our own soil tests. In fact,
those in charge OF the soils and crops
department at the experiment station
do not encourage farmers to send in
samples of soil to be analysed; be-
cause the conditions covering crop
production are SO complex that even
with the fullest information the chem
list may be at fault in his analysis.
For this reason the station does not
care to spend its time and energy max.
