NITROGEN is OF IMPORTANCE
Large Sums Of Money Are Expended
Yearly for Fertilizers Contain
Ing This Element

One OF the most important plant
and tree foods ia nitrogen Large
sums OF money are spent every year
by farmers and fruit growers for fer
tiliZers containing this element The
air we breathe Is the greatest known
storehouse Of nitrogen, but the nitro
gen In the air is not IN a form which
can be directly used By the plants. II
can. however. be converted into q
disable form by the action Of soil bac-
ter!a-those microscopic organisms
which exist In soils and materially at
feet the growth OF crops. Cultivation
brings these soil bacteria into direct
contact with the air from which they
take the nitrogen and convert II into
food for the adjacent plants and trees.
Without cultivation this beneficial &C
tivity OF these minute organisms Ia
greatly restricted, and consequently
uncultivated orchards are not as well
supplied with the food materials re-
CURED for the prolific production OF
fruit Of the best quality. Cultivation
too. keeps In the moisture Of the soil
and give the rain and sun a chance to
produce the best results.

Apparatus for Determining the Starch
Contents of Potatoes.

may also be used in various household
appliances, both for lighting and heat
ing purposes with much more safety
than either kerosene or gasoline. It's
cost previous to the enactment OF laws
making it taX-free was such as to pre-
vent it's use in engines and motors,
consequently very little was done
toward their adaptation to it's use. It
is, however, being successfully used in
both statiosary and traction engines
in other countries where it can be had
at a moderate price, and under similar
conditions of economic manufacture
would undoubtedly be SO used in this
country.
Potatoes have been successfully
used as a source of cheap alcohol in
other countries and conditions in this
country indicate that large quantities
of potato culls with the necessary
starch content are available for this
purpose at price which would permit
of the profitable manufacture of alco-
hol therefrom. Experimental work Of
the agricultural department distillery
has shown how potatoes can be
! economically handled and practical
instructions in the method of manu-
facture can now be given. This work
has been done in a small distillery
such as would be suitable for large
farms or communities Of farmers
working in cooperation. Farmers
| may, if they so desire, obtain from the
government data which will enable
them to convert frosted or inferior
grades of potatoes into a source of
revenue, as it has been shown by ex-
| periments that these may be made
! into alcohol at fair profit.
| The percentage Of starch in pota-
, toes may me easily determined by
means of a specially prepared instru-
ment An average sample of the
potatoes is washed and thoroughly
dried. Exactly ten pounds are placed
in the wire basket Zone potato may be
cut If necessary to get the exact
weight. The instrument with the
! basket attached is fioated in tank
; containing clear water at 53.5 de-
grees Farenheit The stem is SO grad
uated that the percentage OF the
starch can be read directly from It
/ Potatoes average from IA to 20 per
cent of starch and one pound OF
starch in practice yields about OOH
gallon of absolute alcohol, or O.079 gal
! Ion of denatured alcohol at $50 degrees
proof One hundred pounds Of an av'
erage grade of potatoes containing Ii
per cent. of starch would yield approx
imately 1.3 gallons Of denatured alco

BOB SLED FOR HEAVY WORK
One Shown In Illustration Has Ad-
vantage Of Turning Short Cor

IN reply to a query for a plan and
description of bob sled. suitable for
hauling wood, fodder and other heavy
work, the Country Gentleman makes
the following reply:
The following account Of bob sled

fastened to the nose-piece with two

universal joint, permitting it to turn
at right angles. and allowing the team

says the Iowa Homestead. The can
is then slipped over this and riveted
through it's bottom to the brace. Have
the lower edge of the can about four
inches below the upper edge Of the
stovepipe; this should leave a space
of a couple of inches between the
bottom Of the can and the top edge of
the stovepipe, to allow for the free
circulation of air as shown in Fig. 2.

SuIky Piows.

Many farmers have the mistaken
idea that sulky plows are not for rock
soils. It is on such soils that we find
their economy the greatest. Only the
driver is required and the weight OF
the plow holds the share to its work
where often three men-one at the
beam-would not be able to do half
the work of the sulky nor nearly as
well. Their draft will be from to
10 per cent greater than that Of the
walking pillow. dependent upon the
skill in adjusting the center Of draft
