ened. Thin cream churns with consid-
cradle difficulty, and higher churn-
ing temperature is required than for
rich cream. If the churn is turned too
slowly the cream simply slides around
the sides Of the churn, while II it is
turned too fast the cream is carried
around in the bottom Of the churn.
The churn should be turned so that
the cream can be heard rise and fall

churn should never be filed more than
half full. A churn with very little

How jndiuo 10 Produced.

A primitive but effective method of
obtaining indigo in southern India is
practiced by the natives. The plant
is tightly packed the day it is cut, in
large vat, into which water is run.
and boards are then placed over the
top and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours. during
which time heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid is then drained of
into another vat, after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole is then allowed
to settle. The clear liquid is drained
of, and the residue is boiled in copper
vessels. 1t is then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market.

A TREE AND A DISEASE.
Malaria and the Effect Produced ny
plantinq a Blue Gum.

During the latter decades Of the nine
teenth century it was a common prac-
tice to plant blue gum or eucalyptus
trees in districts infected by malarlal
fever. 1t was held that the essential
oil produced by the leaves combated
he harmful vapors rising from the
swamps laden with the poison of the
disease. The discovery that the ma
larial germ is introduced into the blood
by mosquito has settled once and for
all the origin of the disease.
The theory that the eucalyptus tree
neutralized the poison vapors is non
sense, yet the fact remains that where
blue gums were freely planted there
was always a notable decline in the
amount Of malaria.
What is the explanation of this cur
cumstance? 1t has been demonstrated
tlht, of nearly all trees, the eucalyptus
absorbs the greatest amount OF water.
Two seedlings-a blue gum and plum
were placed with their roots in wa
ter, and the height of the water was
carefully marked. The plants were
kept in a warm atmosphere and eX-
amined at the end Of twenty-four
hours The little eucalyptus had dis
posed Of four times the water that the
plum had been able to take up.
Seeing that blue gums increase in
height with great rapidity, often grow
ing many inches a day in a hot posi-.
ton, the amount Of moisture taken up
increases on a greatly progressive
scale. And this Is just what brings
about the downfall of the malarial
mosquito. To complete its life cycle 1t
is necessary that this insect should
pass it's larval stage in pools Of water.
With the coming of the eucalypti these
pools and indeed all marshy places dis
appear, the breeding spots of the mos
quitoes are gone, and In time the in
sects vanish altogether.

IMPROVING THE SOIL.
Oairyine Conserves Fertility Better
Than Any Other Type Of Farming.

0airyine Conservss Fertility Better
Than Any Othsr Type Of Farming.
Farms used for dairy purposes
should gain rather than lose in fertili-
~, asserts r. l. Throckmorton, as
3eistant professor Of soils in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
In dairying less plant food is sold
from the farm than in any other type
Of farming. In grain farming the land
Is cropped year after year, and the
products are sold of the land. In dairy
farming the crops are harvested and
fed to animals.
When grain or other crops are sold
from the farm soil fertility or plant
food is removed. No soil can grow
crops year after year without sooner or
later reaching the point where deple-
ton is felt.
When animals or milk products are
sold only a small portion Of the plant
food Of the crop is removed from the
farm. The greater part Of it is left in
the form Of barnyard manure, which
may be returned to the soil. This is
clear when one considers the fact that
. ton of milk contains 500 worth of
plant food. while a ton Of alfalfa con-
tains $3.50 worth Of plant food.
With this system Of farming large
variety Of crops can be profitably
grown and utilized. Such crops as al
falfa and clover for hay, corn and s0r-
ghums for silage and rye as a soiling
crop may be grown. With these crops
It is possible to practice rotation in
which lcgume is grown. thus increas-
ing the supply Of nitrogen in the soil.

When one is out for walk it is q
very common thing to wish to know
the height Of a particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining it is possible accurately
to measure the height of the tree from
the shadow it casts on the ground. In
order to do SO q stick must be set up
right in the ground SO that its shadow
falls beside the shadow Of the tree.
Then, as the length of the sticks shad-
ow to the sticks height, so is the
length Of the trees shadow to the
trees height. For example, suppose a
two and half foot stick shows a
shadow three feet long and the trees
shadow is eighteen feet long. There
fore the tree is six times as high as
the stick, which shows that the height
Of the tree will be fifteen feet.
