Soil Fertility as Affected by Soil
Rar<Ar;a

The relation of soil bacterioloy to
soil fertility and the methods of pre-
serving this fertility By means of
these bacteria is gradually becoming
a matter of study.
A number of the experiment stations
are becoming interested in this work
and It is time indeed that something
was being done along this line.
Fifty millions of dollars is the an
nual fertilized bill of American farm
ers. Most of this is paid by farmers
Of twenty of the eastern states, as
gerry little, at present, in the middle
commercial fertilizers are used but
usually the element of plant food
which is lacking and this is also far
more costly than any other elements
of plant foods. The supply of avail
able nitrogen fertilizer, namely, sod
ium nitrate, is decreasing very rapid
ly while the demand is. increasing. In
this way, the fertilizer bill of Ameri-
can farmers will in a few years be
something enormous, unless some new
metod is developed.
The principle part played by bac-
terra in soil fertility is the gathering
of this much needed nitrogen and
converting it into form available
for plant food.
Some OF the factors which aid the
bacteria in this work are; the ad-
dition OF manure which adds not only
plant food, but large numbers Of
these bacteria; the addition of lime tc
correct the acidity in acid soils as
these bacteria cannot work in an acid
medium. the proper stirring Of the
soil which gives oxygen and sufficien,
aeration. and lastly: the growing o.
legume crops, which is prehaps the
greatest aid of any of the above men

importance Of Properly Caring For
An Orchard in the FAN

The season of the year is rapidly
approaching when the orchardist
should do little housekeeping in his
orchard. Just as soon as the crop is
out OF the way. the orchard should be
thoroughly cleaned of all diseased
limbs and twigs and leaves, if posi-
Bile. Trees suffering from pear blight.
twig blight and apple rosette, should
be pruned of all infected limbs and
twigs and the parts pruned away be
burned at once. Rotten fruit which
has fallen to the ground should be
picked up and consigned to the fire.
wherever it is possible, leaves in
fected with scab or any other leaf
disease should be raked up and burn
ed. Leaves piled upon the ground
afford an excellent place for fungus
diseases to winter over and so are
very dangerous to the welfare of an
orchard.
In pruning the orchard of diseased
limbs and twigs, the pruning shears
should be sterilized before and after
each operation. Creosote prepare
tions make an excellent germicides
tor sterilizing knives, for they do not
act upon the metal. Pruning wounds
should always be sterilized to pre-
vent the entrance OF parasitic fungus
and bacterial organisms.
Time spent in cleaning up an or
chard in the fall of the year will be
amply rewarded with better and clan
er fruit the next season. At least, an
orchard so treated will have a fair
start in the spring and then, if it be
cared for, should be remarkably free
from disease.

Handling Brood Sows.

The CESSATION period of he SOW is
roughly speaking, four months and
more exactly liz days. When warm
dry days come as early as
March, sows should be bred to farrow
in this month. The earlier filters get
good size and vigorous before the hot
of midsummer. Such pigs can be
turned to the packer early in the fall,
and, if pure breds, are of such size
as to show well at all the county fairs,
and find ready sale from those seek
ing herd headers.
: During pregnancy, the sows should
be literally fed. Over-fat brood sows
produce small, weak litters, and lack
of flesh is liable to effect both the
size and thrift of the litters and give
the SOW no reserve flesh for the suck
ling period. Growth if the littler in
dam demands muscle and bone-build-
ing feeds. An excellent ration for
winter feeding, is alfalfa hay, rolled
oats two parts, shorts two parts, wheat
one part and tankage one part Tank
age and other mineral feeds, make
for vigorous filters and prevent pig
eating.
Warm, dry beds, good sized ex-
ercise yards and board, cinder OF
concrete feeding floors in wet weather
are necessities. The colony house
will hold four or FIVE pregnant sows
A few days before narrowing date
the sow should be removed from ths
rest of the herd and given separate
pen or house. Bedding should b
light. If bedding is heavy and in bale!
the pigs will burrow into Il and ge1
lost or be chrushed by the sow. II /:
SOW is allowed to 60 to the most re
mote part to drop hef pigs.

Mushrooms a. Food.


The number of letters coming to
my office during the past year con-
corning edible mushrooms has sug-
gested this note. In the first place It
is we'll to bear in mind that the edible
parts of mushrooms and puff-balls are
the fruiting parts of saprophytic
plants. These edible parts which
come above ground correspond to
the ears of the corn plant; whereas
the rest of the plant which spreads
out in slender threads through the
soil in search Of dead organic matter
corresponds to the rest of the corn
plant-stem, leaves and roots. Then,
too, mushrooms like the ears of corn,
are very nutritious. In chemical COM
position they resemble beans, peas
and lean meat In view of this fact,
and the fact that they are a delicious
dish and grow abundantly almost
everywhere, they seem to be destined
to become more and more in demand
for human food. At present fresh
mushrooms sell in our cities usually
at rs cetns or more per pound. AT
this price only the wealthy can afford
them; at the same time, a very much
cheaper and poorer grade of mush-
rooms canned and imported from Eu-
rope, is often served in hotels and
cafes. These conditions and the fear
of eating poisonous species. has pre-
vented the ordinary person living
where mushrooms grow, from collec-
ting them.
With the following suggestions, it is
believed that the farmer especially,
and others who can get into the coun-
try or into vacant lots will find edible
mushrooms. The best time for col
lecting is during or Immediately after
rainy season. just now about Mos
COW, mushrooms and puff-balls are
very plentiful.
The beginner should avoid eating
mushrooms with white gills, ring
around the stem and cup or scales
around the bulb-like base Of the stem.
This test should be applied to the
young plants, as the cups and scales
sometimes disappear in the old ones
One should also avoid eating mush-
rooms with disagreeable odor, with
milky juice, unless the milk is reddish
with dark-colored caps which are
sticky, warty or scaly, and with woody
Or worm eaten texture. On the other
hand, one may eat all the puff-balls
and coral fungi that have not turned
black. If these simple tests are follow.
ed, one will be in no danger of fatal
poisoning; in fact only part of the
Aminitas are deadly poisonous; bu,
all of these poisonous forms will be
excluded rapidly by the above tests
In preparing mushrooms they
should be washed carefully, using both
the stem and the cap when the stem
is tender. They may be sliced III
and fried in butter, or lard, or they
may be stewed with cream; or work
ed into many other sorts Of dishes
recipes for which may be found ii
most all cook books.

toned factors in securing nitrogen
for plant food.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in this work is the fact that il takes
two or three years and series of
crops to show any marked improve
ment in the SOIL But it is to be hoped
that it will reach state of develop
ment where soil will show a marked
Improvement in one year and thus
take the place of the nitrogenous

A Few Principles Of Vinegar Making

A Few Principles Of Vinegar Making.
Vinegar results from the fermenta-
ton of alcoholic solution and can only |
take place when the acetic supply OF
oxygen is abundant.
Alcohol may be oxidized by purely |
chemical means, but this is not usual |
and simple method employed in COM |
mon practice. These organisms re-
sponsible for the actic fermentation
are widely distributed in nature, and
will practically always appear if such
substances as wine and cider are ex-
posed to the air at warm tempera-
ture. Their presence is manifested by
the appearance Of white scum cover
ing the surface of the liquid or the
development Of stringy mass in the
bottom, this latter growth Is COM
monty called "the mother Of vinegar"
The temperature at which these
vinegar germs work is from " to 85|
degrees. A temperature of IS degrees
will practically prohibit their develop
ment and the consequent formation OF
acetic acid or vinegar, at at temper
ature much below 81 their action is
not SO feeble that little fermentation
results.
| Free access of oxygen or air is alb
solutely necessary. 1t is mistake
to fill barrel full of cider and expect
good vinegar to result.
The barrel should be but half filled
and bung hole opened Immediately
above the liquid on one side ana
another near the top on the opposite
side. In this way free circulation OF
air is assured.
Solutions containing more than
about IA per cent Of alcohol will not
allow the vinegar organisms to work.
Sometimes cases will arise where
the germs are not present. In that
a small amount of old vinegar can be
added to the cider or wine as starter.
| The fermentation will not take place
in day, but requires from three to six
Il weeks to produce the proper per cent
i OF acetic acids to insure a first-class
i product.
i The alcoholic solution used, such
as cider or wine, determines the favor
n and colors Of the vinegar. The germs
producing the acetic acid are only
i concerned in the production Of acetic
acid from the alcohol
Il There is no need Of adding sugar to
the solutions from which vinegar Il
