THE OUTLOOK

o, shall we in the Wilson reign be prosperous and gay, or shall We murmur and complain that hard times make us gray? It all depends on divers things, aud sundry things as well, as whether grief our bosoms wiring or joy shall make Us yell. The man who buckles down to work for tears will have no cause; but woe will haunt the idle shirk, who'll clamor for more laws. We'll never have 6 government that pilot will the feet of idlers, soaked in discontent, along to Easy street. We'll. nevers have a government that will beat down and smash the busy, cheerful, hustling gent who works and saves his cash. The man who looks to Washington for board and bed and clothers will reach the poorhouse when he's done complaining of his woes. No government, at our behest will strew our path with flowers; while Woodrow Will son does his best, we also should do ours.

NITRATE OF SODA

Authorities are a unit on the
opinion that nitrate is the best form
of nitrogen to feed to plants and
crops and their reasons are many;
among them the following: 1t does
not depend upon any particular
limits of temperature to render it
available, for it is already so, and
therefore gives the promptest and
surest results.
1t does not produce acidity of the
soil, which, except in the case of
some of the lowest orders of plants.
is always inimical to plant growth
and production.
Although nitrate is the best, it is
also the cheapest source of nitrogen
obtainable for agricultural use, as
compared with blood, fine bone and
tankage and ammonia salts.

Animals Fed Exclusively on That Grain
Will Starve to Death.
President Henry ]. Waters of the
Kansas Agricultural college In an adj
dress before the American Society of
Animal Nutrition at the international
Live Stock exposition, Chicago, said
corn Is deficient in two ways-it Is def
cient in ash. and it does not contain
enough of the right sort Of ash mate
rial; it has not enough protein, and
more than half the protein it has is not
suitable or is incapable Of producing
growth.
President Waters showed that pro-
tein once built up in animal body, such
as meat scraps. dried blood, milk case
in, eggs, ETC., are complete proteins and
produce growth when fed to other ami
mails. A large proportion Of the vege-
table proteins derived from beans, peas,
inseed meal, clover and alfalfa, appear
to be complete and are capable of max
ing growth.
Weanling pigs weighing about forty
five pounds at the Kansas Agricultural
college were fed one lot on corn and
another on corn and alfalfa pasture in
summer and alfalfa hay In winter. In
every case the pigs were put into the
experiment at weaving time weighing
about fOrty-fve pounds, being March

qHappenings Of Moment to the Man Behind the Pow
POTATO SCAB

This is one of the most common
diseases of the potato in the United
States and one that causes great loss
to many growers. 1t first appears
as brownish spot on the tuber often
producing burrows or deep cracks,
materially injuring the tuber for
any further purpose. When the
disease gets a good hold it seems to
remain in the soil and is difficult to
eradicate except by careful rotation
of crops.
There should be no trouble on
soil that has not been used for pota-
toes and even on soils once infected
if some time has elapsed since the
last crop and proper precautions
are taken the danger of continued
infection would be small.
The first essential is that the seed
be carefully selected from strong,
healthy plants and all tubers that
show any trace of disease should be
discarded. Then all seed should be
treated with corrosive sublimate,
formalin or some material that will
kill the spores from which the di-
sease develops and which may have
found Judgment on the seed.
The formalin treatment is to soak
the whole tuber in one pint of for
malin diluted in thirty gallons of
water. The seed should be thorough
ly dried before cutting into pieces
for planting.

Of what the veterinary experts declar-
the fact that they were offered all the
corn they would eat When pigs on
other ratiOns were weighing $50 pounds
each and were fat and ready for mar
ket, the pigs on corn alone were thin
and scrawny, weighing forty to sixty
pounds.
When ash alone was added to the
corn the results were not perceptibly
better Ash was made up from year
to year on different formulas, but al
ways with about the same result. APP
parently the corn needed something
else instead Of or in addition to
the ash. When a complete protein
was added to the corn in the form of
blood serum, tankage or alfalfa, the
pigs mentioned uniformly made gain
rapidly, grew Justify and developed in
every way.
'Skimmilk is one of the best sup
plements to corn now KNOWN" said
President Waters. "There is no ques-
ton whatever that it's value lies in its
protein or ash content or both. By
separating the two and feeding the
protein as casein, with corn to one lot
and the ash and sugar with corn to an
other lot, we are in fair way to de-
termine which is the most valuable con-
stituent.'
The results at Manhattan show that
the milk without casein containing ash
and sugar has not produced better re-
suits than corn alone. The pigs are
unthrifty, weighing about forty five
pounds. They have made no gains in
live weight in about six months and
are thin and scrawny. The pigs fed
corn and casein, the protein of the
milk, weigh $50 to 300 pounds and
are fat and ready for market.-Kansas
