STATE AND NATION JOIN
IN FIRE FIGHTING.

The report of a conference on for
est fire protection by the various
states has just been issued by the
federal department of agriculture.
This conference was attended by rep
resentatives from all the New Eng
land states, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio,
Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and
Washington.
The meeting was called to discuss
the section Of the Weeks law which
authorizes cooperation between the
federal government and the states in
protecting from fire forests situated
on the watersheds of navigabIe
streams. The conference considered
not only the details of carrying out
the law, but the results which the
law has accomplished and the prom
Use which it gives of future accom-
plishment.
The various subjects discussed in
cluded patrol work, cooperation with
private owners of timberland, and
cooperation with other protective
agencies and with railroads. The
conference is said to have established
beyond a doubt the great value of
fire lookout stations and towers, and
the imperative need of telephone
communication, as we'll as other per
manent construction work, to include
roads and trails. In all of these ac-
Invites the value of cooperation be-
tween the various agencies was en-
phasized, and it was brought out that
efficiency could be raised and expen-
SEES lowered when state, nation, lum-
Der companies, and private individ-
uals work together in accordance
with plan evolved by all.
1t was shown that the disposal of
the slash left after numbering means
the elimination of a great source of
danger from fires. In some cases it
was shown that it was best to dispose
of this material by burning it under
supervision when there was little
danger from fire. In other cases it
was proved to be sufficient to lop
the branches, so that all would lie
close to the ground and decay quick
ly.
In the discussion of actual fire
fighting it was pointed out that the
secret of the suppression and control
of fires in the woods is not essential
ly different from that in the city, and
lies in having a trained and depend
able tire-fghting organization.

Booklets, Bill Boards, Signs, etc., and
is advocated by Printing Offices, Bill
Posters, Sign Painters, etc.
The Indirect" is the form where
your Advertisement is placed along
with others, such as Newspapers,
Magazines, Programs, etc, and its
advocates are the publishers of the
above mediums, advertising agencies,
etc.
Wise indeed would be the individ-
ual who could say with absolute au-
thOrity, "This is the better way"
There is so much good in both that
circumstances must control i'm every
instance.
In the Direct Form the expense is
enormous compared to the Indirect
Form. For instance, let us suppose
that the booklet" is favored. A
small booklet containing eight pages
and good cover will cost about 2
cents each in quantities of a single
thousand; with each booklet you send
a letter at a cost of l cent and q
2-cent stamp (for immediate atten-
tiOn), thus making a total of cents
each. Now add one thousand good
envelopes at $50 and we have a to-
tai of $3.50 without counting the
labor in securing the list Of names
and addressing the envelopes.
In the Indirect Form your home
paper will print all the information
contained in the booklet at about one
tenth the cost and reach a greater
number Of readers.
The booklet must be used by man
ufacturers hut is ALWAYS uSed in CON
nection with their newspaper or mag
azine Advertisements. Note the sug-
gestion in magazine Ads that you
send for booklet.
Retail stores will find that unless
their capital is large enough to per-
nit both forms being used the news
paper will give the best results for
the amount invested; esDecially il
space is not scantily used and copy
is we'll written.

FOREST NOTES.

Receipts from the use of the ma
tional forest resources were greatest
in Arizona last year.
DR.. G. d. Marsh of the federal bu-
reau of plant industry is delivering
a series of illustrated lectures to
stockmen in the west on the subject
of plants poisonous to stock.
The Biltmore forest school, estab-
lished in 1898 and therefore the old
est forest school in America, has
been discontinued. DR.. c. A. Schenck,
its director, has returned to his home
in Germany.
The forest service is compiling a
new volume table for calculating the
board contents of standing western
yellow pine trees in the southwest.
1t is based on actual measurements
of 5000 trees.
In trying to find uses for blight
killed chestnut it has been found that
it can not be utilized for Grating
stone; quarry owners say that chest
nut wood leaves an indelible stain on
the marble or granite.
Railroads caused nearly half the
forest fires in Colorado and Wyoming
last year, and almost one-siXth were
set by lightning. In California light
ming started more than half, with
railroads a comparatively insignifi-
cant cause.

Twelfth Article.

A 2O0-pound bag Of nitrate of soda
costs about $500. A 200-pOund bag
Of sulphate Of potash costs about
the same. In the first case you are
paying about 20 cents a pound for
the nitrogen you buy, and in the sec
ond case about 6 cents a pound for
the potash present. Phosphoric acid
costs about the same as the potash.
With different companies prices for
these fertilizers vary slightly, but
there is another kind of fertilizer
Just as important as nitrogen, potash
and phosphoric acid kind that no
company agrees to supply at any
price. Even bone and blood are
quoted, but not brains.
Now the best commercial fertilizer
on the market is of little real value
unless it is mixed with a liberal al
lOwance of brains. In other words,
sum up all that is said and all that
is written about the question Of fer
tilizers and soil management and re
duce it Co its lowest terms, and you
have it in this statement: 1t takes
brains 60 farm.
Unfortunately, brains are not sold
IN 200-pOund bags. If that were the
case any fool could farm if he had
the money. One of our institute
workers who owns a large fruit farm
in Western Michigan declares that
ne has but little trouble in getting or
binary labor, but that he is up
against hard proposition to find cap
able managers to look after his trim
ming, spraying, picking and market
ing. On large fruit farms where
many thousands of crates or baskets
If perishable fruit have to be picked
and marketed within few days cap
able managers are especially in de-
mand; and in the future more fail
ares in the big orchards that are be-
ing set out will be due to want Of
brains in this form than to any other
apparent cause. In Western Michi-
gan where all natural conditions are
so favorable TO productivity the
farms that fail even now do so for
want Of capable managers, and in
most cases the want is in the owners
themselves.
1t is not an uncommon practice
among farmers to send samples Of
soil TO the Agricultural College to
have analyses made in order to de
termine what kind of plant food is
lacking. This practice is of very lit
tie value, because it imposes on the
chemist in some degree a superhu- |
man task, for the reason that, the
plant food that is present on the one
hand and that which on the other
hand will prove to be available dur
ing the season through the influence
Of rain and sunshine and bacteria,
are entirely different factors. No
chemist can tell what the influence
IF weather and Of bacteria will be for
any one season, for these agencies
are continually at work liberating
the elements Of plant food from the
vegetable and minral compounds in
the soil and at the same time gather
ing new substance from the atmos-

phere above. No doubt the chemist
! should be able TO make a few help
| full suggestions, but too much de-
pendence could easily be placed upon
| them. AS to whether the soil is sour
or not is a matter quickly determined
! and the advice to apply lime could
be safely followed. A lack of humus
could also be easily told, as well as
some few other things in general
way.
But the intelligent farmer, the one
who mixes brains with his fertilizers.
can without much difficulty find out
more points for himself on his own
farm, natures laboratory, than the
best chemist in any other laboratory,
surrounded by his bottles and appa-
ratus, can possibly tell him from a
single sample of soil taken at ran
dom here and there from the field. The
farmer should know first of all GER
tain things about the physical con-
dition of his soil, above all whether it
is sufficiently well drained or not; for
on the matter of drainage depends
the temperature, the ventilation, or
air supply, and the life and character
of the bacteria. The importance of
having a warm, loose soil with about
20 per cent moisture and an abund
apce Of vegetable matter, can not be
over stated, because these features
are essential to the life and growth
of the bacteria and the bacteria in
turn are essential TO the life and
growth of the plant. To express the
idea in a homely way, we might say
that the plant depends on these tiny,
invisible agencies for its breakfast,
dinner and supper. In other words.
the bacteria must prepare the food
and set the table.
Now how should the farmer find
out in his laboratory waht elements
of plant food are wanting? Let him
ask the little corn plant. If it has
had a good start in life from a good
seedit can tell his master very plain
ly what it wants. Suppose it stands
in apparently good ground, we'll titled
and with enough moisture, yet APP
pears yellow when it should he dark
green in color. Then let Mr.. Farmer
be assured that his little corn plant
needs more nitrogen. If it wears the
dark green color, but lacks backbone
to stand up right. or if it seems weak
IN the ankles and falls down, then lit
tie corn plant says ne wants more
potash in its food But if it stands
up straight and strong vet hands out
a nubhiu at harvest time instead of
q beautiful solid ear. then it is irving
10 tell its master that it would like a
little more phosphorus, if you please.
1t is more important to the farmer
that he should understand the Ian
guage Of his growing grain than that
ne should know Greek or Latin. With
eyes that see not and ears that hear
not the man Of the field is a mere
idol of wood and brass so far as his
success is concerned. To he sensitive
60 everv changing condition, every
voice still and small, every silent
note, marks the successful intelligent
tiller Of the soil.

believe to be even better is fasten-
ing the cow by means of a chain
across the rear of the stall about
three feet from the floor. In using
this kind of a fastening, it is neces-
sary to have Individual stalls, but
single stalls are better anyway.
1t is a simple task to walk along
behind row of cows and unsnap
these chains and then when the cows
get in the stalls, it is simply a mat
ter of going along and hooking them
up again.

Fastening The Cow.

We are often asked what kind of
a fastening we recommend for fas-
tening the cows in the barn.
We do not believe the stanchion
was ever invented for the COM
fort of the COW. 1t was in
vented rather for the comfort of the
owner Of the COW. The swinging
stanchion is a great improvement
over the rigid stanchion, but we be-
lieve that chain around the neck is
better than either kind. What we
