Such affiiction interferes with the

also leave them in a debilitated con.

hogs become infested with lice, which
crawl from the hogs and hide in the

Remare Of pIseaaed Potatoes.

Of violations Of the Maine quarantine
regulations, all purchasers Of Maine
seed potatoes are warned to have their
stock examined by the state expert, If
possible, before planting, the New
York Sun states. Inscriptions ship
pers, 1t is stated, have been sending
diseased potatoes into New York, Bos-
ton and other points, where certif-
Gates of inspection have been fraud
ulently attached to the bags. While
in general the Maine authorities have
endeavored to see that none but sound
potatoes left the state, certain inspec-
tors have been negligent and have GER
titled diseased stock. The United
States department Of agriculture has,
therefore, advised buyers to disregard
all certificates issued hitherto. It will
be costly mistake for any farmer or
gardener to plant diseased potatoes.

Root Rather a HIndrance.

In a speech in Washington Senator
Root, referring to the Mexican situa
ton, said, incidentally:
"The American democracy year by
year has been more and more coming
into its own, coming into more direct
control over the affairs of their gov
eminent. If the American people are
to conduct their foreign affairs as they
are conducting their own government
they must, know something about in

and live stock farming is the best
system.
1t pays to seed alfalfa in fertile
or fairly rich field even though 1t Is
a crop that adds fertility to the soil.
Alfalfa adds nitrogen to the soil and
increases fertility to that extent, but
since alfalfa yields heavily It uses
large amounts of the other elements
of plant food. In order to produce the
best crop, 1t Is necessary to have a
field that Is rich In substances that
go to make the stem and leaves Of the
plant.
The seed bed for alfalfa should be
firm, and well stored with moisture
and available plant food. The firm
seed bed allows free movement of the
water from the sub-soil and at the
same time furnishes the plant with
proper root hold. The ideal seed bed
is made by fall plowing and surface
working in the spring. Some growers
who are inexperienced with alfalfa
make the mistake of blowing deeply
short time before they wish to plant
the seed. A satisfactory bed for fall
seeding may be prepared by shallow
blowing Of wheat stuOble soon after

extract from the commercial page Of

and corn silage third. One hundred

this experiment They were divided
into six groups, to demonstrate the
value Of the different feeds commonly
used by Kansas feeders. The average
daily gain for each calf for the 100

very much on the side of those who
