We seem content to stop with the knowledge that there is something de- cidedly wrong with our fields. much better crops, but we willingly rest with the conclusion that they are “wearing out.” Large areas of soils even in this state are acld, and, as a consequence will not yield as plenti- fully as they should. We have to de termine by means of a very simple test whether or not our fields are acid, and | if so, apply a known and dependable remedy. When a farmer finds that he cannot get a good stand of thrifty clover on weeds, such as corn spurry and sheep gorrel, grow readily in his fields, he could, by obtaining a small quantity of blue litmus paper at his drug store, easily test his own soil to find If it is acid. Soil acidity is responsible, in many Instances, for the failure of seed: ing of alfalfa and clover Growing in soils well supplied with lime these plants are able to obtain the nitrogen for their growth through the work of certain kinds of bacteria or germs which penetrate the smaller roots, forming lumps or swell ings, called nodules Each of these nodules is a tiny chemical laboratory, in which nitrogen gas is built up into compounds for use by the plant MANAGING SHEEP IN WINTER Where the Weather Is Severg Ample Shelter and Food Must Be Fur- nigshed to Prevent Loss. essential Even at the far south should | be provided with comfortable sheds and in those portions where snows i fall, and the food is destroyed by frost, | hay and of good quality and in abundance should be furnished.

A gopher was seen bor ing under one of the trees and later on was caught in a trap. One of the greatest enemies of the gopher is the barn owl. One-half bushel of the re mains of gophers was found near the nest of an owl of this species, and yet almost every ranchman would shoot an owl at sight. The survey is trying to educate them to the value of owls The best method of killing the pock- et gopher is to destroy them by the use of poison mixed with chopped sweet potatoes. The potatoes are very acceptable to the gopher owing to the fact that they keep well under ground. In one experiment of 20 dif ferent runways, dead gophers were found In 19, and in the twentieth the potato had been stored up by the go- pher for a future meal, Poultry Experiments. As a result of feeding experiments conducted at the Missouri station it was concluded that whole grain does not fatten chickens, that it is cheap er to feed the grain finely ground: and that the best grains can be had by feeding birds finely ground feeds when confined In crates. The best returns resulted from a ration consisting of 24 parts white bolted corn meal, 6 parts low grade flour and 1 part each of oatmeal, pea meal, buckwheat mid diings, and wheat middlinge. The flesh of the birds fed on this ration was creamy white in color, the fat was distributed over the body, and the Better Cows.
