When Soils Cease to Produce

The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when
new Is not that the elements Of plant
food are actually exhausted from the
soil, but the necessary forces for the
liberation are exhausted. One of
these forces is bacteria. 1t is esti-
mated that in the common soil there
are 100000 bacteria to the ounce.
These bacteria must have for their
food, humus, then they will liberate
food for the growth Of plants. To be
good farmer one needs to grow le-
gumes and other cover crop plants
to turn under for humus, and to en-
courage these beneficial bacteria to
perform their functions in the soil

Fertilizinq Apple Arces.

A Maine farmer orchardist had sew
eral apple trees along the stone wall.
The trees were not considered of
much value until the owner plowed
the field for crop, fertilizing it
heavily and giving 1t liberal cultiva-
ton. The trees got their share Of the
benefit and produced apples least year
worth $685. Another old neglected
Baldwin tree was plowed and ferti-
Iized, and it resopnded with a crop of
apples that sold for more than all the
corn raised on the acre of ground
where the trees stood.

Knew It All.

An old but sturdy Irishman, who
had made a reputation as gang
boss, was given a job with a railroad
construction company at Port-au-
Prince, Haiti One day, when the sun
was hotter than usual his gang of
black Haitians began to shirk, and as
she chief engineer rode up on his
horse the Irishman was heard to
shout:
''Allez-you sons of guns-allez!"
Then turning to the engineer, he
said: II curse the day / liver learned
their language"

Acid Phosnhste In Henhouscs.

The best practice is to use acid
phosphate or floats freely in the hen
house. You can put the manure into
order for drilling by thorough ex-
posture to drying air and then pound
ing up and running through a coarse
sieve. 1t Is deficient in phosphoric
acid, which the soil usually needs,
and at least so pounds of a good
grade of acid phosphate should be
added to each 100 pounds of the dry
manure. -Four or five hundred pounds
per acre may be the most proflta bic
amount for your rye.

Make-Up Of BroiIers.

A broile1 should have a good, plump
breast, broad back, clean yellow legs
and yellow skin, and small comb.
Such is the American epicure's ideal,
but these requirements bar out such
breeds as the Brah mas, Cochins,
Langshans, or any crosses Of them,
on account of the feathers on their
legs.
They bar out all white-skinned
fowls, and put damper on all large
comb birds like Leghorns, Minorcas,
etc. Such being the case, the Wyan-
dottes have easy sailing, and, besides,
being quick growers, are more desir'
able for this purpose.

coId.Storace Tests,

Tests of cold storage. as made by
one of the experts CT the department
of agriculture led to the conclusion
that poultry keeps better when not
drawn than it does when drawn The
reason is that the process Of drawing
causes bruises which invite the lodg-
ment of germs. Birds that were dry
picked kept much better than those
which had been scalded. The experts
summed up the requirements as
prompt storage, dry picking and dry
chilling. These essentials have all
been favorable to the cold-storage
trade. but seem never to be COM
pretended by the host Of agitators
which every year try to secure abb
surd cold-storage laws.

Puts Limit on Cold Storage.

Puts Limit on Cold Storage.
Senator A. E. Martin approaches
the high cost of living from new
angle in a bill introduced by him
which it is provided that six months
shall be the limit of time that food
products may be kept in cold stor-
age. 1t is further provided that all
goods placed in storage warehouses
shall be plainly stamped with the
date at the time they are so placed
and again marked with the date of
removal.
The bill further provides that hav-
ing once been in storage for six
months the product may not be stor-
ed in another warehouse or refrig-
orator, and that any perishable food
stuff held in storage more than six
mouths shall be reported to the dairy
and food commissioner and such
products, if found unfit for food,
shall be destroyed.
All food products now held in cold
storage in this state shall be placed
on the market within six months No
food products shall be sold or offered
for sale in this state that shall have
been held in cold storage outside this
state unless it shall have been mark
ed, stamped or tagged as provided in
this act.

Delays Dissolving Injunction.

1CiofS OiSSOifibB
Judge Stevens of the Dane county
circuit court dissolved the injunction
restraining Gov. McGovern, L. A. An
derson and others from interfering
with Herman l.. Ekern as insurance
commissioner Upon notice by
Ekern's attorneys of an appeal to the
nupreme court, Judge Stevens with
held actual dissolution OF the injunc-
ton until Feb. IS.
AS to the question, whether or not
Gov. McGovern had the right to re-
move Ekern, in the limits of the
action brought, the court determines
that the removal was within the jur-
isdiction of the governor. Coming
with this, is the further order that
the governor, as determined in the
injunctional proceeding, has no right
to seek to install into Office the per-
son appointed. The effect of this is
that Anderson must institute proper
proceeding, through quo warranto or
otherwise, to GUST Ekern.
The status of the case is practically
where it was following the appoint
ment of Anderson. Whatever title
there is with holding the office, An
derson has, while Ekern holds pos
session of the office. The presump-
ton of the court is that Gov. Mccoy
ern will take no steps by force to
eject EkcTn end that legal proceed
ings viii be instituted to try the title.
In this respect the decision acts upon
Gov. McGoyern as an individual and
not as an official.
An attempt to Gust Ekern by force
is regarded as an individual and not
an executive act. 1t is believed that
Anderson under the decision has the
legal title to the office The fact is
that Ekern is in present possession.
Whether the move next made to de-
termine who is entitled to the Office
will come from Anderson or from
Ekern is conjectural
Both sides to the controversy claim
a decisive victory The right of the
governor to remove has been estab-
lished. The question of whether or
not he has the power to place the
affairs of the insurance department
in charge of Anderson, as the legal
custodian, is up to now undeter-
mined
