 plants will not grow, and few soils contain enough to produce maximum or even fair crops of cereals. It is the most expensive element of fertilizer and in an available form for plants the most difficult to obtain, except through the intervention of microbes. Yet na- ture has not been so lavish i'll her sup ply Of any other element necessary to plant growth, as something like 3S,000 tons of free nitrogen of the air rests on every acre Of land. While sci entists have been devisir1g means by which atmospheric nitrogen could be combined by electricity into plant food microbes-the minutest form of plant life-have been quietly at work. They have been working for nothing board ing themselves and paying for the privilege" In leaf mold and humus of the woods Hlyriads of them have been gathering nitrogen from air and rendering it available for higher plants, thus feeding the trees of the forest and storing surplus in the soil for use of future generations In culti- vated fields, where conditions have been favorable for their reproduction they have been doing the same thing. Where legumes are grown they are particularly active. They have hk- ing for this family of plants and with them assimilate and store in the soil large quantities of nitrogen.
 When conditions are right nitrogen fixing bacteria will supply legumi- nous crop, like alfalfa, clover or peas, with nitrogen for it's own perfect de- velopment and also assimulate and leave in the soil a sufficient amount to produce a large crop of corn the fol- lowing season.
 Nitrogen gathering microbes are in evidence when legumes are found with small knots of nodules on their roots If agriculturists will grow legumes, keep huTnus in their soil rectify acidi- ty with lime and see that microbes are present. either from natural or artifl- cial inoculation, the question of nitro gen for growing crops will be solved.

WATER IN BUTTER. s44,Ooo,Doo Lost To Dairynaen.
A. A. BoRLAND.

State Agri. College, Burlington, Vt.
 Fourteen million dollars are annual ly lost to dairy interests in the United States through the low moisture con tent Of butter. The maximum legal amount is IS per cent. the average for the United States is only 11.B per cent. An additional 3.5 per cent. might be added, making the water content 15 per cent. without exceeding the legal limit and without deterioration in quality of the product. Now, how can the moisture content Of butter be con- trolfed There are many factors in AueAcing moisture content Of butter, but the two most important are the chHr4ing temperature and the amount of working.
 CharHfng temperature is of funda- mental importance. During fall and winter, when moisture content of but Zsr is low, temperature of charming sAeuld be as nigh as is consistent with securing a product firm enough for handHns. Experiments conducted un- der direction of the writer showed an increase of two per cent. in water con- tent of butter ehuIned at TO degrees F. as compared with 50 degrees F. That ehaTned at 50 degrees E. averaged 13s per cent. moistures that at 50 degrees F. averaged IA per cent. that at 65 degrees F. averaged 149 per cent; that at 70 degrees F. averaged 15.7 peI cent. Churnings were done with a baxFee cAarn, the kind found on any farm. Churnirag should stop when but ter granules are the size of corn grains. The temperature of wash water should be near that of battermilk, although if high churning temperatures are em- pIoyed wash water 8 few degrees low ~ tends to firm butter. Vice versa, in springtine, when per cent. of water in but T exceeds the legal limit. cream should be caurned at as low tenepra,- ture as possible without prolonging the time of churning, thus causing butter to be salty.
 Working the Butter.
 xAe amount of working has consid- erable influence on per cent of mois- lure in the finished product. When butter is worked in absence of water, moisture content decreases rapidly as amount of working increases. but if butter is worked in presence of wa ter moisture content increases with amount of working. Consequently if high percentage of water is desired butter should receive minimum amount of working sufficing to dis tribute salt evenly when no water Is present, but maximum amount of working if water. is present. Care should be exercised at all times not to overwork butter Again if natural moisture content of butter is high all water should be drained away, butter partially worked water drained off and the working completed.

THE WOODEN HEN.
How She Rears Her Chicks.
E. K. PARKINSON.

In buying new breeders there should be great care as to selection and q strict observance of rules regulating temperature. Breeders before being used should be cleaned, scrubbed, dis infected inside and out lamp fues cleaned, outside painted, then put in the sun to air and dry and also new wicks bought and used for each hatch. Now to find good location. An in door brooder should be kept in a warm place where temperature never goes below freezing. An outdoor one should be in a sunny place, for sun is very es seEtial.
 The House In order.
 The brooder placed. cover floor and the hover with an inch of dry sand, on top of which (except under hover and for a foot in front of it) spread finely cut clover or hay for about an inch. Light the lamp, or stove. which ever it may be. regulating the temp erature according to directions so the heat where the chicks sleep is between 95 and 98 degrees the first week, grad ually dropping to 90 degrees by the fourteenth day and to 80 degrees the twenty-f1rst day. Leave the newly matched chicks in the incubator nurse " thirty-six hours. then transfer them in a warm lined basket to the brooder (evening is the best time.) providing a small drinking fountain filled with NDAA MA charcoal. The first three days feed a mixture of one-third hard boiled twenty minutes) eggs. using shells and all Gnfertile thin shelled or mis- shapen eggs) and mix crumbly, but not sloppy, with sweet milk. adding little chick size grit, giving it five times daily. Over this, the second day sprinkle chick feed.
 The first three days keep chicks near the hover, pushing them back under it after each meal until they / are used to it. The fourth day stop the nursery food, feeding scratch feed, throwing it in the clover, and start green food, though sparingly, and avoid sour or frozen feed or musty grain, for they are certain death After the sixth day begin feeding meat scraps in small quantities, an ounce fed twice daily in feed hoppers. The following successful method of feed ing is excellent: Over the cut clover spread ten pounds of chick feed, cov- ering with two more inches of clover and ten pounds more of feed, and so until there are eight inches of litter and sixty pounds of feed. This, with meat scraps and green food, lasts about five weeks, and reared in this way chicks will prove sturdy, healthy and possess great vitality.

WHY GRIP IS DANGEROUS.
it is an Epidemic Catarrhal Fever Caused by Bacillus that Gener- ally Leaves the Patient Weak After the Acute Stage
 Has Passed.

Expectorant Tonic.
 Do not make the error of regarding grip as an exaggerated cold. There is 8 big difference between the two. Grip is an epidemic disease that poi- sons the vital organs. When a per son has grip, the air passages are alive with millions of bacilli poison ing the blood. The infected person feels tired and exhausted.
 Peruna is Tonic Laxative.
 It requires a good tonic laxative to keep the body of the patient as strong as possible to counteract the effect of the poisons created by the grip bacil- lus. An expectorant tonic with some laxative qualities Is the safest rem edy. Such Is Peruna- Beware es. pecially of coal tar powders or tablets because they lessen the vitality of the patient.
 There is no specific for the grip.
 Peruna has been used with good success in former grip epidemics. In- dications point. to the return Of grip this winter. 7.
 Do not fail to read the experience of former grip patients with Peruna.

which is injurious to horses. As a matter of fact, corn stover is to be preferred to corn fodder for horses, with a slight addition of some cohcen- trate feed. Shedding the stover is neither necessary nor desirable.
 The name corn stover is applied to the stalk after the ear has been re- moved. Slower may be fed to dairy cows with good results, particularly if the stover is shredded and mixed with cut alfalfa or bran, oats, bar ley or peas, thus providing a, valuable and cheap feed. Shedding adds value as it is more easily handled and stor- ed and readily eaten by stock.

Rats are not entirely unknown as . food in England. Not so very long ago rat pies were comparatively com mon in Nottinghamshire, ana one inn near the county town made a feature of periodical rat suppers and did very well out of it.

BEST USE OF CORN FODDER.
How To Prepare and Feed It.
JAMES E. MORMON.


 Corn is an excellent feed for live stock, both grain and stalks being fed to advantage. but in feeding it care must be taken to get the best results The grain is a concentrated source of nutriment, palatable. easily masticat- ed and readily digested and assimiIat- ed, but for dairy cows, corn should never make up more than one-half to three -fifths of the concentrate part of the ration. It needs roughage as corn stalks or hay fed with 1t, for corn Is poor. in protein, but rich in digestible carbohydrates. So for dairy cows corn should be ground and fed with bran nniddlings or ground oats which are richer in protein.
 Live Stock Thrive on It.
 Corn fodder is the name given to the whole plant harvested with the ears on the stalks. The nutritive ratio of corn fodder has been ascertained to be about 1 to 11.5. so that some higher protein feed is necessary to properly balance it to get the good results, and either alfalfa or clover has been tests with sheep the Massachusetts station has shown that different va rieties' of corn fodder, while varying slightly in digestibility, are good for fattening purposes. At the Manitoba experiment farm corn fodder was fed to StoStS, dliu It pfoFeu tO De more profitable roughage than oat sheaves. Where small numbers of stock are kept, good results may be obtained by feeding cut corn fodder moistened with hot water and allowed to stand for twenty four hours. The concentrated feeds such as cottonseed meal. can be mixed with this mass and the cattle will eat 1t readily and waste little. In fact, it is better and safer to use with cottonseed meal than dried fodder or hay.
 Corn fodder may also be fed to horses. but one- third of the bulk of the ration should be made up of some other material, preferably red clover or alfalfa. Avoid feeding soft corn

Children's Day in East Dorset

| Shii0i Nh . LAY III l<dSt DOlSCt
Children's day was fittingly observ-
ed last Sunday in the Congregational
church here.
The Rev. w. A. McIntire's address
to the children was instructive, well
received and made lasting impress
sion on their minds.
The church was lastly trimmed
with ferns, flowers and flags. The
platform, banked with ferns, made an
artistic background for the lilies,
roses and other sweet scented flowers,
the fragrance of which filled the at
mosphere. Several children were
baptized making a most impressive
addition to the services.
The program opened with organ
prelude, followed by March (Lefebure
Wely) to the strains of which the en-
tire Sunday school marched to their
respective pews, which were roped
with white ribbon. The Rotations
alternating with music, Duets,
choruses and quartetts) were highly
enjoyed by all present.
The superintendent and teachers of
the Sunday school unite in thanking
Mrs. John X. Griffith for her efficient
work in the musical training Of the
children for this the most glorious
day Of the year.
