RETAINING ALKAL1 SOIL

In all parts of this state large tracts
of land are so badly affected with all
ta,; that they either have to be aban-
don.d or reclaimed by the removing
- The alkali from the surface where
~. Giants grow. There are two class
.s &c aikali known as white alkali and
hi.ct .Ikai, The difference between
10 two is that white alkai consists
Of staple salts which are not affected
bv water to give a real I've, and the
black alkali consists OF salts which
are affected by water to give real
I've. The I've which is produced dis
solves the black organic matter which
Il carries to the surface by capilarity.
The water evaporates and leaves the
soil covered with black film. The
salts do not dissolve the organic mat
ter and when the water evaporates
thew have the appearance OF common
salt. of which they really consist to a
large extent.
The Difference of character of the
two kinds of alkali is caused by diff
ference of their chemical composition.
The appearance of black alkali on the
soil is caused by carbonates OF sodium
and potassium These salts are com
posed Of strong base, I've, and a
weak acid, carbonic acid, solution OF
which we drink and enjoy as soda
water, It is a characteristic of all
salts of this kind that when they are
dissolved in water, the lye and acid
are separated (dissociated, as the
chemists say to large extent and
the solution takes on the character OF
dissolved lye. 1t will turn red litmus
paper blue, test which chemists use
to determine the acidity or alkalinity
of solution,
White alkaii is a salt formed Of the
same bases, to large extent, as those
found in black a1kali but combined
with acids much stronger than car
bonic acid. These acids are mostly
hydrocl1loric and sulphuric acids.
Such salts when dissolved in water do
not hydro1yse as to give acids and
bases again and so do not give solu-
tions that will turn red litmus paper
blue.
OF these. two classes of alkali,
black ailsali is much more destructive
to plants than white alkali, in the
same strength of solution. Because
of this it is some times desired to con-
vert black alkali into white alkali,
thing that is accomplished best by
adding gypsum. Gypsum is the sui
plate of lime and does harm rather
than good when added to other sui
pilates and to chlorides. Before ad-
ding gypsum to the soil to correct al
kill the farmer should be sure that the
destructive alkali is black and that its
concentration is so low that it will
not be destructive If it is converted
into white alkali.

ANIMALS REMEMBER ABUSE

The following is taken from little
article entitled Teasing the Horse"
in the current issue of the Farm and
Fifeside.
ITO teas any animal is unwise, and
even dangerous Animals never for

XXI know of two little boys and an
old family mare, not an unusual COM
bination on most farms. This old
mare has often been leased by one
little boy, and when he comes near
she lays back her ears and with flash
ing eyes and swapping teeth tries to
get at him. Some time when he is
off guard perhaps the chance will
come, and who knows what will hap
pen?
"The other lad always petted and
played with the old mare and talked
to her, and she will come to him and
follow him about anywhere. When
she is hitched up he can drive her any
place, and she obeys every word he
says. But he never leased her, and
she shows her gratitude in her only
way.

'If your invalid.is girl or woman,
give her bead necklace. If she can
sit up-even that dizzy half hour with
the back rest-give her beads to
string; delicate, designable ones for
herself or her friends or her blessed
nurse; or gay kindergarten style ones
for the poor little martyrs in the chil-
dren's ward. Oh, l could ,wsite you a

M1lklSk cows s9 MACHINERY

farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, prints the following editorial in
its current issue: >
1.-THE problem Of milking by means
of machines is still long way from
being solved, but we are much nearer
the goal than five years ago. or. even
year. ago. More people are think
ing about mechanical devices for
tightening the work of tire hands
and aching fingers than ever before.
1.-THE New York experiment station
has announced the result Of milking
machine experiment which covers a
period of four years. The expert
ments, show that, including the time
required to get the machines ready
and to wash them after milking, cows
can be MIXED by machine in 3.S6 min
.utes per COW, as against seven min
'utes, for hand milking. A higher class
of help is, however, necessary to
milk by machinery successfully"

KEEPING CREAM IN GOOD
CONDITION

At this season Of the year as the
warm weather comes on, the keeping
of the cream in 4 good condition be-
comes more OF problem
than is the case during the
cold weather of the winter.
As this also is the busy season for the
rancher, the care of cream on the
ranch is often sadly neglected, and as
result the creamery man has to con-
tent himself with a low grade of cream
for butter making. This is the condi-
ton that can easily be remedied by a
little extra time and care
One of the main troubles is that the
cream is not cooled sufficiently after
separating. This trouble that may
be overcome in, various ways. The
cream may be run over a cooler or
the can of cream may be placed in
cold water. The latter method. is a
good one but the cream should be
stirred occasionally so as to cool it
the same throughout. A long shot
gun can is very convenient con tain
er in which to cool the cream on ac-
count Of its small diameter which al
lows rapid cooling of the cream.
Warm cream fresh frof the separa-
tor should always be cooled before
poured into the cream from the pre-
vious milking as the warming gives
the bacteria in the Older start and
will cause it to be come sour much
sooner than it otherwise would. The
common practice of running the fresh
cream from the separator into the
cream from the previous milking is
very detrimental to the keeping quail
ty of the. cream. Thick cream, that
is cream that is rich in bntter fat,
keeps better than thin cream. This is
due to the fact that the serum, that
is the substances other THAN the but
ter fat in the cream, decomposes
more rapidly than the butter fat.
Cream containing a high per cent of
butter fat must necessarily contain
a correspondingly smaller per cent
of other constituents, and will conse-
quently keep sweet and in fresh con-
condition for greater length of time
than cream not so rich In butter fat.
Aside from the above precautions
the question of cleanliness is a very
imoprtant one. The introduction OF
filth into milk means also the intro
duction of fermcnt with it which when
they develop produce undesirable ha-
ors IN the cream and cause Il to sour.
During the warm weather these fer.
ments are much more actives than IL
the case In the winter time thus maxi
ing cleanliness doubly important dur
ing the warm weather of the summer
months.
Much oil. the butter made during
the month of June Is stored for the
port Of The Secretary of Agriculture,
the average storage period of butter
In the United States Is "a months. In
order to produce butter which will
keep well through that period Of stor-
age or longer Il is quite important
that the cream from which the butter
70 made should be of the highest quail

HOW TO PREVENT PEOPLE

ion a department called "The Elk

practical household ideas contributed
by readers. Following is one OF the
suggestions:
"Fo rthe screened door or window
which is SO situated that the curious
passer-by can look into the room,
simply paint the screen wire with
white paint (not too thick). 1t does
not obstruct the view from the room
at all, but anyone on the outside can
not see in unless nearly against the
screen. OF course the paint makes
no difference when the lamps are
lighted.

made for the many dances, card part
les dinners and receptions which will
be given this winter
The Annual Charity ball, the most
brilliant affair given in FL PasO each
year, will be held on Thanksgiving eve,
in the beautiful rooms of the Tolteo
club. The Progress club will give a
dance in their club rooms every month
and big New Years dinner-dance.
The Social club VIII give I'VE dances
during the year, the dance on New
Years eve being a special feature
In October the Terpsichorean club
will give its first dance and it will en-
terrain every month until April. The
Hai-Wai club, composed mostly of
High school boys and girls, viii enjoy
six or eight dance during the winter
at the Elks club. The TOltec will give
its annual banquet on the third We'd
nesday in November. This always
proves to be elaborate and enjoyable
The Woman's club of Ell Paso, which
stands for culture and education, and
