THE MIGRATORY BIRD LAW.

With the approach of the open sea-
son for shooting wild fowl, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
is warning sportsmen that the federal
regulation as amended October /,
1914, will be strictly enforced. Some
misunderstanding has arisen from
the fact that the various state laws
do not always conform to the federal
regulations. This is regarded as un-
fortunate, remarks the official circu-
lar, but in such cases the department
must insist upon the observance of
the federal regulations, which, under
the circumstances, take precedence of
state laws.
Under the federal regulations the
United States is divided into two
zones Zone No. 1, the breeding zone,
includes the states Of Oregon, Idaho,
Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
and all states north of them. Zone
No. 2, the wintering zone, includes all
states south of those named.
The regulations prescribe an open
season in Wisconsin for water fowl,
rails, coots, gallinules, black-breasted
and golden plover, jacksnipe and yell
low-legs from September 7th to De-
cember 1st. Insectivorious birds are
protected indefinitely. Band-tailed
pigeons, cranes, swans, curlew, small
shore birds, and wood cocks protect
ed until September l, 1918. Rails in
Vermont and woodcock in Illinois al
so protected until 1918 Shooting is
prohibited between sunset and sun
rise: or at any time on sections of up
ner Mississippi and Missouri rivers af-
ter January /, 1915.
It has been reported from places
the southern zone, particularly in
Louisiana, that sportsmen resent the
undertaking by the federal govern
ment to interfere with the pursuit of
game. In general, however, real
spOrtsmen are in sympathy with eff
forts to preserve game birds from the
extinction which certainly would
overtake them within a few years
were the greedy activities of pot-hunt-
ers to 60 unchecked.-Jane Ga

1t is little harder, perhaps, and
takes little more time to can veget-
ables than it does to can fruit. The
trouble has been not in the actual
canning, but in the keeping of the
vegetables once they were canned.
This was due to the fact that the
cause of fermentation was not well
known. Now that scientists have
aided us in that direction the remedy
is easily applied.
Vegetables contain large amounts
of proteid, the food mostly friendly
to bacteria. On the other hand, they
contain practically none of the acids
which discourage the growth of bac-
terra. Corn, beans, etc., contain bac-
terra which is wonderfully heat resist
ing and which, under certain cOndi-
tions, form spores. These spores re-
tain their vitality even under a long
continued high temperature, and it is
they, then, that cause all the mischief
by later developing bacteria in the
Jars. The bacteria thus formed, how
ever, will not, like the spores, survive
a great heat and this suggests way
out of the difficulty.
The problem resolves itself into
nothing more or less than means
of making the spores develop into
bacteria at canning time and then kill
the bacteria by boiling. 1t has been
determined that an hours boiling
will kill the bacteria present and so
stimulate the spores that they devel-
ope into bacteria in from twenty-fOur
to forty-eight hours. Therefore, 1T
can be seen that the method OF pro-
cedure is very simple.
The vegetables should be prepared
for canning fresh from the garden.
Corn, for instance, should be canned
as soon as possible after being pulled
from the stalk Cut the corn from the
cob, salt in the proportion OF tea
spoonful to a quart of corn, pack IN
glass jars which haye been thorough
/ ly cleaned and scalded. Fill the jars
with cold water, put the tops on them

FEED THE SOIL WHAT 1T NEEDS

There are several ways in which
the producing power of soils may be
increased; viz, by adding organic
matter and lime, by increasing the
supply of plant-food elements, by inn
proving the water supply and filth.
This is not fixed improvement form
ula for every kind of soil but it points
out methods of attack. A wet marsh
needs no addition of organic matter,
for that would be carrying Goals to
Newcastle" A poor sand on the 9TH
er hand, always has good filth, and
good filth, in this case, is not an in
dication of fertility.
A long-crOpped clay loan or silt
loan soil usually requires attention in
every particular What makes 1t
lighter colored than it was twenty
years ago? The humuS has been large
ly used up. Why does it work harder
and bake? Here again the lack of
humus, or organic matter is largely
responsible If the soil is acid and
refuses to grow red clover, it doesn't
contain enough lime. If the crop
dries up during a short dry period,
the water supply is at fault. If the
crop is short and the yield is low
when other conditions are favorable
starvation is the cause.-the soil
hasn't sufficient available nitrogen
phosphorus and potassium.

TEN TRICKS OF
THE ALFALFA TRADE

More than one thousand reports on
alfalfa growing in Wisconsin have
been received by the Alfalfa Order of
the wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment Association. These reports
clearly show that the principal causes
for failures with alfalfa in Wisconsin
are:
/. Failure to inoculate the soil.
2. Attempting to grow alfalfa on
sour or acid soils without lining the
land.
3. Poor preparation of the seed bed
and improper methods of seeding.
4. Weeds-heavy growths OF which
crowd out the alfalfa.
5. Too thick seeding of the nurse
crop. Not over one bushel of grain
should be sOwn with the alfalfa and
if oats is used it should be cut for
hay.
8. Late seeding. Seeding after
August Is is a dangerous practice.
Sufficient growth is often not secured
before cold weather sets in so that
the alfalfa may stand the winter.
z. Late cutting. Cutting alfalfa
after the first week in September has
resulted in serious winter-killing of
many otherwise good stands of alfalfa.
Alfalfa should have at least six to
eight inches growth to afford suffi-
cient winter protection.
s. PaSturing Late and close pas
turing are particularly dangerous.
9 Poor soils. Although alfalfa is
a great soil enricher, it requires at
least a medium fertile soil. Poor
soils should be well MANFRED.
10. Low, flat, poorly drained soils.
Alfalfa requires a well-drained field.
ON flat. heavy clay soils which hold
water from melting SHOWS and heavy
rains in the early spring alfalfa may
he heayed out by alternate freezing
and thawing weather A slOping field
which will provide ample run-off for
surface water is more desirable.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-08-25
SWEETEN THE SOIL
FOR ALFALFA SUCCESS

Alfalfa will not do well on sour or
acid soil. Before growing alfalfa, the
soil should be tested with blue litmus
paper which can be secured from a
druggist. Take a handful of moisten-
ed earth from a few inches beneath
the surface of the ground and press
into a ball. Break this mud ball in
to halves and place a strip OF blue
litmus on one of the halves and cover
with the other. After five minutes
examine the litmus paper, and If it
has changed in color from blue to a
distinct pink or becomes spotted with
pink spots, the soil is acid and needs
lime for successful alfalfa growing.
On sour soils from two to four tons
of air-slaked lime or ground lime
stone rock or mari or lime refuse
should be applied. Whatever form is
used it should always be applied to
the surface OF plOwed land and har-
rOwed or disced in. 1t may be put
on in the fall or early spring prior
to seeding the alfalfa. Lime distribu-
tors are desirable when large areas
are lined, but with small acreages
it can be conveniently spread with a
shovel

HOW TO CAN VEGETABLES

large receptacle which will hold a
sufficient number of jars and can be
covered There should be layer OF
shingles or a wire rack beneath the
cans so that they do not rest direct
ly on the bottom of the boiler. Pour
in a few inches Of warm water, cover
the boiler loosely and steam the jars
for an hour. Put the rubbers on the
jars and seal them in order to allow
the spores to develOpe into bacteria.
Let stand for twenty-four hours;
then loosen the lids and repeat the
hours boiling. Then seal the jars for
another twenty-four hour bacteria
developing period, after which they
should be unsealed, furnished with
new rubbers and steamed another
hour, then sealed Immediately. Do
not forget in any case to loosen the
caps of the jars when you begin the
boiling.
Other vegetables, such as beans or
peas may be preserved by the same
method. They should, however, be
blanched and then cooled before pack
ing in the pars. Blanching is merely
the scalding of the vegetable by plung-
ing it into boiling water for two or
three minutes. Cool Immediately by
dipping in cold water.
Beets should be cooked as for the
table, drained and covered with cold
water. Then push off the skin, place
in the jars and steam for an hour.
Then fill the jars with boiling water
and seal at once. They need only be
steamed for the one time.
Cauliflower should be examined
carefully to be sure there are no bugs
and should stand for time, head
down, in cold water and steamed one
hour for three successive days.
This may seem like a tiresome pro
cess but it will not be found difficult
if the boiler does not have to be TAX
en- from the stove and once the veget-
ables are in place it is only matter
of putting heat under the boiler for
an hour for three days. And there
will not be any spoiled vegetables

The naming of Wisconsin farms is
progressing rapidly. The newspa-

week contain the names of from a doz-
en- to a score or more of farms that
have been named during the week.
1t is nota BILE that as fast as the farms

Cap. Watson, who was in five bat
ties during the rebellion and received
five wounds, says that the wrong use
of flags is a very common thing On
Memorial day, in town, he observed
that flags were at full mast all day,
when they should have been at half
mast until noon and then raised to
the top of the pole and lowered one
fourth of the way. The mast is the
upper half of the pole. Cap. Watson
also noticed with regret that town
people do not display the stars and
stripes properly in connection with
other national emblems. The red,
white and blue must always be placed
to the right of or above of any other
flag or emblem. The flag should be
raised with the rising of the sun and
struck with it's setting; the grand old
emblem should never fly all night.
Although Cap. Watson receives a pen
sion for total disability, he is as Wig
orous a man of his years as there is
in the country, and often walks ten
or twelve miles to. attend a patriotic
celebration.
