There has been a great stir of late in scientific and commercial circles, first with regard to the artificial pro- duction of diamonds by -M. Charret of Nantes, and next by the experi- ments of Prof Bordas, communicated to the Academy of Sciences in Paris and showing that by means of radium ordinary spar may be transformed into rubies, topazes, sapphires and other gems. . It was thought that the effect of these discoveries will be to make all jewels so cheap that the great for- tunes in jewels to-day might at any time be reduced to almost nothing, but this alarm was short lived. Charrets have been pronounced by chemists to be napthaline. He dis- putes the arguments on which this conclusion is based and says that with- the larger apparatus he is now constructing he will prove clearly in a month or two that he has produced real diamonds. As to the Bordas gems, jewelers say they . only resemble precious stones. Bordas himself regards his transformation of spar into precious stones simply in the light of labor- atory experiments and not a matter of having commercial value, as the jrocess is too costly. In order to ansform a piece of spar into a topaz he subjects it to contact with a tube containing a milligramme of radium for six weeks. er The whole amount of radium in the world is said to be two centi- grammes.

The object of putting up corn as silage is to preserve the stalk and blades in as near their green stage as possible. If corn is allowed to be- come too ripe and the stalks toe dry, the value of the silage is much re- duced. The best feed is obtained if the corn is allowed to become just well-dented, and then cut and put up as quickly as possible.—Indiana Farmer, Soda For Hay. The use of nitrate of soda on mow- fng lands to promote the second crop is becoming fairly common among hay farmers. Results this year have promised very poorly. because of the continuous dry weather since the The grass even when topdressed -has made very little growth. The later rains will help matters somewhat, but the hay pro- ducer will be obliged to wait until the next crop for the better part of of his returns. Recent years’ experi- ments at the Massachusetts station indicate that under average condi- tions most of the nitrate, although a very soluble material, will stay in the soil until th> following season and show good results in the follow- ing crop. I —— Orchard Suggestions. Dr. Lambert, who has acquired a wide reputation as a successful fruit grower, read a very instructive paper on “The Orchard” at one of the Illi- nois institutes. He urged the impor- tance of giving the best of care and attention to fruit trees. Many farm- ers seemed to be holding fast to the idea that the growing of apples was unprofitable, and as they withheld the proper care from the trees they naturally withered and died, and then the blame was placed upon nursery- men, charging them with furnishing poor stock. One of the most destruc- tive pests to fruit trees is the round- headed borer, which will encircle a tree, making a depth of from one to three inches, destroying the cambium layer of the tree and thus cut off all the supplies of life from the roots, Testing Corn. At the Pennsylvania Institute Prof. Christie, in his talk upon corn, said among other things that “one of the main things to consider is the adaptability of the corn to the local- ity. County poor farms should be used to make tests under the direc- tion of the- experiment station, so farmers could select and use such corn as is adapted to their own local- ity. There has been found a varia- tion of twenty-five to 100 per cent. in yield of two kinds grown in the same township. The seed should be se- lected from the middle of the ears in order to get uniform results in planting. The planter will drop three grains in a hill ninety-five times out of 100 when his selection is made.” A testing box was shown, and the importance of testing seed corn demonstrated. Prof. Christie does not believe that high protein corn can be secured without loss in yield. Speaks Well For Cowpeas. White and kidney beans have long been regarded as nutritious foods, but experiments recently made at the University of Tennessee under the auspices of the Department of Agri- culture have shown that whatever may be claimed for beans may be claimed equally for cowpeas. The cowpea, says the report, has a dis- tinctive and pleasing flavor and can be prepared for the table in a great many appetizing ways and compares favorably with other legumes in re- spect to both nutritive value and di- gestibility. The cowpea deserves to be more generally known and used as a staple food throughout the Uni- ted States for both its high food value and for the additional variety in the diet which it would help to ‘se- cure. It is reasonable in price and could undoubtedly be grown in quan- tities sufficient to meet any demand. It is not too late to plant it this sea- son.— Weekly Witness. a 2 An Early Moult Desirable. One of the advantages of an early moult is that the birds are enabled to get the ordeal over in good weather and start laying again before the winter sets in. A warm summer is more conducive to an early moult than a cold one, so that in the latter case if we assist nature in any way so much the better. It must always be remembered that the moult is a very trying process for the fowls, and that it is essentially a time when they need especial attention, more particu- larly in regard to diet. If, therefore, we desire to push on matters we must give generous treat- ment, for any neglect at this period will result in loss of stamina, which can never be recovered. It is a short sighted policy to think, as some ars apt to do, that because the fowls are unproductive while moulting, it is not worth while to bother much about them. There is no period when careless- ness is more to be deprecated. If the birds are confined in warm, darkened quarters, at the first symptom of shedding their feathers, and fed on soft food only, to which is added a little boiled linseed, a quick moult is frequently induced in birds, which would otherwise complete moulting much later. A judicious use of hemp seed is often beneficial at this time, and meat given freely while the moult is on will not only supply the much needed stimulus to the newly growing feathers, but hasten the re- | sumption of laying.—W. R. Gilbert, in the American Cultivator. Tree Doctoring. Several white pine trees, valuable for shade and associations, were se- riously damaged in a recent storm, the entire top being blown away. An- other tree, similarly injured in a pre- vious storm, is beginning to die, and we are told that these will also, pre- sumably from the effect of the weath- er on the exposed wood. Is there any preparation which can be sprayed over the broken surfaces to prevent decay? Also, will a tree of such age (nearly fifty years) ever produce a new terminal bud? We think not; are we right?—E. M. C., Liberty, Ind. [There is no mixture which can be sprayed on the pine trees in question, or upon the broken stems, which will do the least good. But it will be worth while to saw off the broken stems square, cutting down to live, sound wood, and paint the wounds heavily with several coats of thick white lead. Probably nothing else can be done, unless it be to supply the trees with a little extra water in case they are situated in a dry place. This extra supply of water, however, would be much more valuable if giv- en during the first half of the sum- mer while the trees are growing. Whether the frees will make new leaders or not depends less on their age than on their physical condition. If° they are otherwise strong and healthy, situated in a good soil, with a i1easonable supply of water avail able, they stand a good chance to re- cover, to make new tops and to live through many: long years of useful- ness and beauty.]-—Country Gentle- man,’ er Nail Wounds in Horses’ Fect. It has long been ‘known that nail pricks and other similar injuries in the -horse’s hoof may lead to an in- fection, followed by the formation of puss under the horn of the hoof and a serious general disease of the herse or at least the loss of the hoof. In a bulletin of the South Dakota station Moore has recently reported results obtained in a number of cases from applying a strict antiseptic treatment to injuries of this sort. The method consists of paring away the horn of hoof from the affected part until the blood oozes out. The hoof is then thoroughly washed in a solution of bichloride of mercury at the rate of one part to 500 of water, after which absorbent cotton saturated in a solu- tion of the same strength is applied to the wound and the whole ‘hoof is packed in cotton surrounded by a bandage and well coated with tar. This prevents any further filth from coming in contact with the wound. Subsequent treatment, however, can be applied by the average farmer, since all that is necessary is to pour a little of this solution of bichloride of mercury upon the cotton which projects from the upper parteof the bandage. The cotton will absorb enough of the solution to keep the wound moistened and hasten the healing process. If a remedy cf this sort is not adopted in ‘the case of foot wounds in the horse, the owner runs considerable risk of serious jn- fection either of blood-poisoning or lockjaw, Farm Notes. 1f not milked in a reasonable time the cow refuses to give down her milk. The habit of holding up the milk can easily be formed by harsh treat- ment. Next to the careful selection comes the proper cultivation of trees, vines and shrubs. Overcrowding and overflowing green corn usually makes trouble with young pigs. Duck feathers sell at forty cents per pound. Goose feathers bring double the amount. When turning bulls out into the pasture it is well to see that the fences are made secure. If the cow is made to feel comfort- able and happy, she will pour the milk out to the last drop. When going into the horse's stall always speak to him, and then if you should touch him he will not be frightened. Growing pigs want the bore and muscle-making material that is so largely found in the middlings or feed of a like nature. It is hardly an advantage to cul- tivate some light crop in the orchard the first year, as by its cultivation the trees are cultivated, too. Don’t think because corn is a little cheaper pound for pound than oil- meal or wheat middlings, that your pigs can get along on all corn, Farm Alcohol Production. Carefully Made Estimates of its Profit ablencss It Made From Ordinary Farm Products--lis Varicus Uses, .., .. = H. M. BAINER, Professor of Farm Mechanics, A lorado Agricuitural College. Denatured alcohol is simpiy the commercial - grade of pure alcohol made unfit for use as a beverage by having added to it wood alcohol, which is poisonous. This denatur- ing process must be under the direct inspection and control of the United States government. It is not likely that the individual farmer will operate and own his still. This would interfere too much with the regular farm work. The ex- “pense of inspecting these stills and denaturing this alcohol in small quantities would be enormous. There is no reason, however, why co-opera- tive or county distilleries should not be set up in which the farmers would own stock, furnish the raw material and use the finished product on their farms or sell the surplus. In this manner tax free alcohol must neces- sarily be a benefit to the farmer. The cost of denaturing alcohol will be that of labor and the cost of the denaturing agents, and should not exceed five cents a gallon. The chief alcohol yielding materi- als produced in farm crops are starch and sugar. Used for this pur- pose they yield about forty-five per cent of their weight in alcohol. This gives us a basis for estimating the amount of alcohol which different crops may yield. Thus the “percent- age of alcohol making material in different farm products, of which about forty-five per cent. can be con- verted into alcohol, is as follows: Rice, SO per cent; rye, 72 per cent: wheat, 71 per cent; barley, 70 per cent;corn, 70 per cent; Kafir corn, 70 per cent; buckwheat, 64 per cent; oats, 60 per cent; cowpeas, 55 per cent; peas, 50 per cent; potatoes, 17 per cent; apples, 16 per cent; sugar beets, 15 per cent; and corn stalks, (green) 12 per cent. For example, suppose a farmer raises only 100 bushels of potatoes on an acre; these will weigh 6000 pounds. According to the above es- timate 17 per cent of this, or 1200 pounds, is starch. This starch will yield about 45 per cent. of its weight in alcohol, or 459 pounds, which equals sixty-seven gallons. Thus the potatoes of 100 bushels’ yield, selling for 25 cenis a gallon, would amount to the sum of $16.75. Calculations made from any of the other farm crops, as to the amount of alcohol which may be produced, will look rather small from the far- mer’s standpoint. . Under these conditions it would hardly be a paying proposition to raise the average crop for the pro- duction of alcohol. However, there are always in connection with the farm some products which could be easily converted into alcohol which would otherwise be totally lost. This alcohol would, in the majority of cases, furnish the heat, light and power necessary for that farm, and would at the same time tend to keep down the price of gasolene and kerosene. For lighting purposes alcohol has been found to possess almost twice the efficiency of kerosene. 1t fu.- nishes a brighter, cleaner and whiter light, without the disagreeable odor, and is safer than kerosene. For power purposes, according to Lucke, “an engine designed for gas- olene or kerosene can, without any ‘material alterations to adapt it to alcohol, give slightly more power (about 10 per cent.) than when oper- ated with gasolene or kerosene, but the increase is at the expense. of greater. consumption of fuel. By al- terations designed to adapt the en- gine to this new fuel this excess of power may be increased to about 20 per cent. The different designs of gasolene engines are not equally well adapted to the burning of alcohol, though all may burn il with a fair degree of success.” In. most localities it is unlikely that aleohol power will be cheaper or as cheap as gasclene power for some time to come. Too much must not be expected of the alcohol industry at once; its progress is bound to be slow. There are many problems to solve which will take considerable time. Animal History. There are many points of likeness between a world view of animal his- tory and of human history. During the long ages preceding our own, the continents for certain periods were like vast islands entirely isolated from neighboring contineatls by the seas. This was the condition of Africa in the, period unearthed by re- cent explorations. These longer or shorter isolations explain the mar- velous dfPersity of mammalian life, because each grant land mass be- came a separate breeding placc under different conditions, and whenever the land rose from the sea long enough to form connecting bridges, such as those across the >fediter- ranean, or along the Arctic seas, or across the Isthmus of Panama, the animals gradually extended their ranges from continent to continent exactly after the manner of the pre- historic and historic races of men. Thus were initiated vast interchanges, struggles and competitions, which have worked quite as profound in- fluence upon the past and present his- tory of animal life as theinterchanges of human races have worked upon the history of man.—From Henry Fair- ' fleld Osborn’s “Hunting the Ancestral Elephant n the Fayum Desert,” in The Century. alcohol produced from one acre of.
