BIRD LAW TO BE ENFORCED.
Sportsmen Warned That Regulations
For Protection of Wild Fowl
Must Be Observed

Washington. Aug. S.-Witn the ap-
preach Of the open season for shoot
ing wild fowl. the United States de-
partment of agriculture is warning
sportsmen that the federal regulations
as amended Oct /. 1914, will be strict
ly enforced. Some misunderstanding
has arisen from the fact that the vari-
Gus state laws do not always conform
TO the federal regulations. This is re-
garded as unfortunate but in such
cases the department must insist upon
the observance of the federal regu!a-
tons
The department will consider any
regulations submitted IN good faith for
amendment Of the regulations. but will
hold no public hearings thereon. nor
will it amend the regulations prior to
Oct Ia 1915. 1t is the purpose Of the
department to conform the equations
to the wishes OF the majority of sports
men so far as it can be done and at
the same time give wild fowl the nee
esSary protection.

Sheep.


Sheep and lambs were by no means
overplentiful
The advance last week, which has
lifted the market to new August price
levels, has been scored in the face OF
heavier movement in the aggregate
to western markets than the week pre-
vious. Omaha has had most OF the IN
crease, however and the run there has
carried a good quota of feeders, while
both quantity and quality at Ohio river
points has fallen down to such an eX-
tent as to indicate a cleanup of the
Kentucky crop. Chicago buyers down
there are now returning home.
Local receipts for the week show
decrease of about 5000 from the pre-
vioJs week, but are over $4,000 in eX-
cess of the meager run the same week
last year. Combined receipts at six
western markets We're 10000, or $4,000
more than the previous week and H.
600 more than a year ago.

SAFETY COMPLAINTS IGNORED.
Higher Ups" PiseonhoIed Evidence on
CroMdina of PASSENGER Ships.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The torthcoIn-
ing investigation OF the steamboat m
spection service viii have many rar1i-
hcations. according TO a statement py
an official here,
Few services in the government nave
been shifted around as much as ms
particular one with so little jogging OF
the persons employed in them.
For years the steamboat Inspection
service was under the direction OF The
secretary OF the treasury When the
department OF commerce and labor was
created, it was taken over bodily uy
that department. and practically 10
changes We're made in the personnel.
Il was disclosed here that while the
service was under the treasury depart
ment frequent complaints were made
against il and there were constant IN
vesttsations by department officials.
There is mass OF correspondence and
evidence at the department. all OF
which is now regarded as not subject
70 public inspection.
: AS far back as 1906 the questions OF
inspection for stability and overcrowd-
ing were before the department, but
then, as more recently, the higher
ups" in the inspection service were
able 20 prevent orders rom being Is
sued TO compel such inspections.
One letter that the treasury depart
ment has was written by George E
Foulkes, as inspector stationed at Chi
cago in 1906. Il related 10 charges OF
over-crowding on the Eastland.
Foulkes reported that the Eastland's
certificate allowed 1t TO carry 3,000 pas
sengers, but that on Aug. 8, 1906, 1t
was 50 crowded with $50 aboard that
hefelt compelled TO recommend that
her allowance be reduced below that
number.
There is mass Of other correspond
ence concerning complaints about over
crowding and the like, all of which has
been securely pigeonholed up to now
but which is expected 20 oe resurre,;t-
ed as the investigation proceeds.
There are indications tna.t the inves-
rigation will not be confined 10 the
Eastland disaster. When the Lamport
and Holt liner Van Dyck was sunk BY
the German raider Karlsruhe last year
complaints were filed with the depart
ment that the Van Dyck ,ifeboats We're
! IN such condition that if the karlsruhe
had not assisted her passengers. many
lives would have been lost.
Investigation OF these complaints
showed that no inspection had been
made for months. but the inspectors
said the reason was that the Van
Dyck had not been in American ports.
IL has not been determined yet
whether the investigation VIII De made

Nitrate Of Soda on Meadows.

On an old meadow which has not
been properly fortified a top dressing
of nitrate of soda is almost certain to
show very marked results. The farm
er is likely to be so enthusiastic over
the showing made that he at once con-
cludes that nitrogen is the one factor
needed to make his hay crop a prof
liable one. Right here lies the danger.
While the first application Of nitrate
of soda may show these marked re-
suits, it Is not by any means safe to
conclude that nitrogen is the only ele-
ment Of fertility needed. Repeated APP
plications of nitrate of soda may soon
result iE no apparent benefit and even
result in final condition worse than
the original condition. The first appli-
cation Of nitrate of soda shows such
marked deficiency of nitrogen in the
soil, but there is sufficient of the other
fertilizing elements, particularly phos-
phorus and potassium, to balance the
nitrogen used. The increased crop
yields from the use of nitrate of soda
make an increased drain upon the
available phosphorus and potassium Of
the soil. No effort being made to re-
place these elements thus removed, the
time very soon comes when no re-
Spouse is received from the applica-
ton OF nitrate of soda because the
phosphoric acid and potash have been
depleted or, In other words, are the
limiting factors. AS a rule, where nj
trate Of soda is used as a fertilizer, it
Is safe principle to use I'm connection
with II some form Of phosphorus and
potassium, having In mind permanent
results rather than a temporary in
crease due to the nitrate Of soda.

plying needed plant food, according to
the requirements. Good drainage is
essential in order that the roots may
go deep into the SOIL Hardpan must
be broken up or avoided altogether.
Soils that are sour may be made sweet
by thorough drainage and the applica-
ton of lime. A good supply of de-
cOmposable organic matter in the soil
helps the bacterial action in making
plant food available, facilitates the
inoculating process and together with
good drainage prevents heaving in the
spring.
Alfalfa requires large quantities of
plant food and cannot be expected to
do well on poor soils. Its deep root
ing habits may enable 1t to extract
more food from the soil than most
other crops, but to secure large yields
there must be an abundance of food
within easy reach, and, If the soil is not
naturally well supplied. manure or
commercial fertilizer must be added.
After it is thoroughly established and
properly inoculated with its nitrogen
gathering bacteria alfalfa will supply
itself with nitrogen from the air, but
all potash phosphoric acid and other
mineral food must come from the soil.
and as the crop is naturally a large
producer large quantities are required.
Every alfalfa field should be started
with liberal dressing of stable man
ure if possible. Experiments have
proved time and again that manure Is
unusually valuable in starting alfalfa
The farmer must also be sure that his
land is not lacking in lime. The plant
ing can be done at any time between
April and September.
Usually it will pay to use all avail
able manure on the grain crops and
buy the necessary amount of phos-
phoric acid and potash for alfalfa. An
application of 300 pounds per acre Of
IA or 16 per cent acid phosphate and
200 pounds per acre muriate of potash
costs between six and seven dollars
and supplies as much phosphoric acid
and potash as ten tons of manure.
There is little question also tha.~sac..
an application ess fertilizer about the
tN'r' .. fourth year after seeding gen.
orally prolongs the life OF field Of
alfalfa from two to four years.
To get the most out of the alfalfa
crop and, In fact. before it can make
It's best development the roots must be
inoculated with the proper nodule
forming, nitrogen gathering bacteria.
In the majority Of cases where alfalfa
is sown for the first time it will need
to be inoculated by some artificial
means. The surest and most practical
way to do this is to broadcast and har-
row in before sowing the seed some
earth from q good alfalfa field where
the bacteria are known to exist. At
least two or three hundred pounds of
soil per acre should be used.

FROSTED CORN SILAGE.
How Farmers Can Save Corn Which
Fails to Mature.

How Farmers Can Save Corn Which
Fails to Mature.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The fact that corn If frosted and i'm
mediately put into the silo will still
make good silage may prove of great
advantage 10 corn growers in certain
sections where the lateness of the
present season may prevent the corn
from ripening or reaching the glazed
stage before the first frost, according to
the dairying experts Of the department.
Those who have not been intending to
make silage of their corn should find
this information very useful in the
event that corn cannot be harvested in
the ear.
The best corn Silage, of course, Is pro-
duced where the corn can be put into
the silo after it has reached the glazed
stage. IN an emergency, however,
where the corn has not reached the
glazed stage before frost, it is better
to give it all the growing time possible,
even If it has to be put into the silo
Immediately after the first frost Every
extra growing day after the corn has
reached the milk stage adds very much
to the solid constituents of the silage,
as In these last few days there Is a
very important transfer Of material
from the roots into the stalk and ear
IF 10 rl1a nj
when it reaches the milk stage contains
only about 60 per cent of the dry mat
ter that it contains two weeks later.
Aside from the increased feeding val
ne, the corn when it has reached the
glazed stage contains much larger
percentage of starch and smaller
percentage of sugar. The high proper
ton of sugar in immature corn is one
Of the main reasons for the high acidity
in the silage made from it. The amount
Of acid in the silage is found to be
very nearly in proportion to the sugar
present in the corn.
Where it has been necessary to delay
until after the first frost to cut the corn
for Silage it is essential that the plants
be not allowed to stand frosted in the
field. They must be cut and put into
the silo at once. The chief effect of
the frosting, it will be found, is to re-
duce somewhat through evaporation
the water content of the plants. In
packing frosted corn, therefore, it will
probably be necessary to add some wa
ter to the blower as the corn is being
run through the cutter.

Adding Humus to Soil.

Who has not noticed how loose and
mellow the soil is where an old fence
row has been plowed up and brought
into cultivation. says the Kansas
Farmer. The soil was once all like
this, but man has destroyed and re-
moved humus faster than nature un-
aided could replace IT. On the old
fence row the crop grows rank and
green and stands out In marked CON
trast to the balance Of the field. The
soil is full of rotted, decaying vege-
table matter without which all farm
ing Is q failure.
There must be a reserve as
In the soil - "a. ,.shes to keep it in
good physical condition, but a large
reserve of humus is not sufficient. Soil,
20 be productive, must be full Of ac-
lively decomposing organic matter.
This decomposing vegetable material
renders mineral particles soluble, and
as 1t decays supplies nitrogen, so es-
sential TO plant growth. This active
decomposition and loss Of organic mat
ter takes place rapidly when land is
well TILED, much more rapidly than it
can be replaced without special effort
The remedy is simply to follow ma
lures methods-no vegetable matter
of any kind should be burned-legumes
and other green manure crops must
be grown and plowed under each year
to keep up the supply Of actively de-
composing organic matter. Do this
Systematically and the apparently
worn out soil will again become alive
and active. It will remain loose and
mellow instead of running together
and baking, and crops will again grow
green and rank as when the sod was
first broken. Why not take advantage
Of this wet year and make an extra
effort to grow some green manure
crops?
