HAROLD SOMERS, 148 DeEalb Ave, Drookl yn, N.Y. saves Thompson's Eye Water An Experimental Plot. * The experimental plot in field or garden may not be directly remune- rative in a financial way, but its value cannot be measured when we count the pleasure it gives and the interest it awakens. These are items that make the difference between the farmers who find pleasure in their work and those who consider farming & drudgery.—Epitomist, Preserved Eggs Tested. The Agricultural Department at Washington recently tested eggs which had been preserved four years in water glass (sodium silicate). They were found to have an unpleas- ant taste, and the white coagulated in cooking. There was a slight taste of soda and the. white had become pink in color and very liquid. Fggs kept in water glass for six months tasted and smelled like well kept eggs a few days old. Clover vs. Timothy For Steers. In very carefully and sensibly con- ducted experiments with yearling cat- tle at the Missouri station it was found that by substituting clover for timothy the efficiency of the ration} was practieally doubled. That is, a bushel of corn when fed in combina- tion with clover hay produced essen- tially double the number of pounds of gain that were produced on similar steers with the same .amount of corn and good timothy hay. What was found to be true of clover apples al- most identically to cowpea hay.— Weekly Witness. S— Work of Large and Small Cows. Small cows consume relatively more feed and produce more dairy products than large ones. The Jer- 8eys, per one thousand pounds live weight, consumed daily during the St. Louis dairy demonstration on an average seventeen per cent. more nutriment than the Holsteins, twen- ty per cent. more than the Swiss and over fifty per cent: more than the Shorthorns; but they returned forty- three per cent. more butter fat than the Holsteins, seventy per cent. more than the Swiss and 100 per cent. more than the Shorthorns.—Ameri- can Cultivator. : —— The Spreader. Corn ground is one of the blest places for the manure. "A top dress- ing of only five or sit loads to the: acre will show good results. A thin coat over a large area will bring greater returns than a heavy coat over a small area. The fact that the pS spreader can spread a load over al much larger sp-ce and much more evenly than can be done by hand is a strong argument for its use. No other tool on the farm gives us more satisfaction. We also like to give thin places in the meadow a light coat of manure in the spring. We keep all the manure on the farm under cover. What is not hauled out this spring will be used this fall to top dress the meadows and wheat ground.—Epitomist. ~ Sme—— Getting Alfalfa Started- ‘An Illinois farmer writes: “I have fot been very successful in.getting a stand of alfalfa. I am anxious to get a small field started and would like to have some suggestions how to go at it.” : If a stand of alfalfa is the thing you are after, and do not care much for a grain crop from the land this year, you should give this land a thin dressing of barnyard manure, then plow it under, and harrow it frequently, up to say the middle of May. Then roll and harrow it. Then sow twenty pounds of. first-class al- falfa seed with two or three pecks of barley per acre. If you are near a field where alfalfa is growing, scat- ter a few loads of this soil over your own field. Then cut your barley off for hay and remove it from the field as soon as possible. Don’t give it up. —UL. C. B., in the Indiana Farmer. Work the Ground. There is economy in putting in all the work possible on the ground be- fore planting the seed. A .well- plowed, well-harrowed and pulver- ized field is exactly the right condi- tien to start the seed. Good seed is hard to kill, but tie more conge- nial germinating conditions we give it the quicker will it start. A suc- cessful corn grower says: “I would rather have one good day’s work put upon a corn field before the seed is planted than ten days after the seed starts growth.” Clear the ground cf all trash and stalks possible; follow the plow with the harrow and keep the seed-bed mellow. Ground hand- led in this way will warm up quicker than poorly tilled land, ‘and conse- quently, the seed will not be so apt to rot in the ground.—Indiana Far- mer, Soil Fertility. Don't let the truth escape from your observation, that Boil fertility is before production. Therefore, guard jealously the elements which secure the harvests. There is a say- ing in Indiana: ‘Drive your grain to market,” meaning, feed it to the stock and drive the stock to market. There is no better way to maintain soil fertility, for it secures the en- vied gain while accomplishing the desired result. Crop Totation if practised systematically and intelli- gently, guarantees the same result, but it is not believed to be as pro- ductive. There are farmers whose land is not adapted for stock raising; these will of necessity follow other means to maintain the fertility of their soil than by feeding all farm products to stock. In whatever way it can be most economically accom- plished is the best way for the indi- vidual farmer, but the necessity of obtaining it in some way is daily bee coming more evident.—Epitomist. Sore Neck and Shoulders: A little care right now in properly handling the horses when they are soft will save a whole lot of trouble after awhile, and it will save the poor beasts a great deal of needless suffering. The spring seeding sea= son is the hardest time on the horses’ shoulders and neck, because the flesh is soft and easily bruised, and the dust seems to.irritate now more than any other time during the year. By carefully hardening the team to their work, their shoulders will soon be- come firm, and pads will not be neces- sary. In fact, collar pads are a nui- sance. They are hot and soon be- come gummed up with dirt and sweat, and will cause irritation easily. Use a close-fitting, well-made leather col- lar, one that fits the horse’s shoule der. Break in a new collar on a horse as you would break in a new pair of shoes, and then after that particular collar has become set to the animal’s shoulder, never use it on any other horse. The changing about of collars and harness is not a good thing. Fit bridle, collar and tugs to suit each horse, and you will find that the “team will work much more willingly, and without any worry. Even the best fitting col- lars need daily attention. Keep the collar clean. Scraping the collar with a penknife is not a good thing, because it destroys the smooth sur- face and is apt to leave ridges. One other thing. We use riding cultiva- tors and other machines or imple- ments with tongues... These are all hard on the neck of the team, unless the collar fits so snug that it cannot slip up and down with every move- ment of the tongue. Then be sure to set the harness so that the draft .comes direct against the shoulder, and not too low or too high.—Epito- mist. a: Good Cow Ration. A correspondent of the Jersey Bul- letin gives the following as the ra- tion he is feeding his cows, with ex- cellent results he says: : We are milking twenty-five Jerseys and weighing the milk of each cow and testing for fat every month. They are doing finely this winter; in fact, never did better——are giving an aver- age test of better than 5.7 per cent. fat. We have been feeding a grain ration composed of the following: 200 pounds dried distillers’ grains. 250 pounds corn meal. 100 pounds cottonseed meal 50 pounds flax meal. Mix, and feed a 900-pound cow, giving from eighteen to twenty pounds of milk per day, about six pounds of the mixture, together with twenty pounds of roughage, com- posed of mixed hay, oat hay and corn clover. We increase or diminish the grain ratien according to the amount of milk the cow is giving and her individual requirements. By taking advantage of the mar- ket in the fall, we were able to put this grain ration together for about $1.40 per hundredweight, which is very low for a ration containing over twenty-seven per cent. digestible protein, together with the standard requirements of carbohydrates and fat. I have been feeding this ration for nearly a year and a half and I have never fed anything that seemed to give better results, both at the pail and in the general health and condition of the animals. Cottonseed meal is a valuable feed for milk and butter production. At the South Carolina station it was found that cottonseed meal when fed in conjunction with good corn_silage may be fed to the extent of from five to six: pounds per cow daily without affecting the health of the animals —in fact, keeping them in an un- usually good state of health. Cows fed exclusively on this diet for a period of five months exhibited no craving for dry roughage, but always preferred silage to good hay. lore milk and butter fat were produced during that period than during any corresponding period. It is the con- clusion of the station that cottonseed meal and corn silage form the cheap- est dairy feeds available for the dairy- men of South Carolina. The Virginie station concludes that as cottonseed meal when pure con- tains a larger percentage of digestible protein than gluten meal and is much richer in fertilizing constituents and can be fed with equal satisfaction for the production of butter and milk it should be utilized in the place eof the latter.

Dun & Company's “Weekly Review of Trade” says: “Preparations for fall trade are on a fairly liberal scale, testifying to confidence in the future, and jobbers receive moderate supplementary or- ders for prompt shipment, while re- tail sales expand in response to sea- sonable weather. There is some ir- regularity in reports from the leading industries, footwear factories receiv- ing relatively larger orders than tex- tile mills, while the iron and steel markets still feel the unsettling effects of recent reductions in prices. “Building operations increase at many points; creating a better demand for lumber and other materials, but decreases are still shown in most comparisons with last year’s volume. Mercantile collections are more prompt and money is abundant. “Waiting conditions prevail in the iron and steel industry, purchases be- ing limited to immediate needs, except in the case of steel bars that have been ordered by makers of agricul- tural implements to the extent of 250,- 000 dons. Output of coke is rising at the rate of about 3,000 toms weekly, and prices are maintained by an in- creased demand. “Bradstreets” will say: “Aside from the continuance of the better tone as regards the future, and some further enlargement of . industrial operations. notably in textile lines, there is little new to report as to trade. Business as a whole has been quiet. There is general agreement that retailers’ stocks are not large, but filling-in orders continue to be fre- quent rather than heavy. Fall buy- ing has been a trifle more assured at eastern and central western centers, but conservatism and a disposition to await crop and political developments guard against anything like free buy- ing. Collections are backward as a whole. “Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 18 number 254, which compares with 253 last week. 165 in the like week of 1907. 175 in 1906, 157 in 1905 and 215 in 1904.

Albert Smith, the British photographer, has added natural col ors to ordinary moving pictures prom- ises a new ea. In the now familiar Ives method the red, green and blue are sifted out by three screens of col- ored glass, the negative taken under each containing the details of a por- tion of the view, and the complete picture is brought out and the colors given to it by placing a screen behind each plate in a projecting lantern and combining the rays from the three lanterns upon the screen in vne pro- jection. In simplifying the process two lanterns and one screen have been eliminated. Two. screens—one green and one orange red—are found to give correct color effects, and the film is first exposad in alternate strips under the screens, the #golors being restored in reproducing the picture by a rotating disc, so synchronized that the proper color will always be oppo- site the point originally exposed un- der that color. The defects are cor- rected by the eye defect known as per- sistence of vision. Causes of Headaches. Too late going to bed, too early ris- ing or anything that promotes want of sleep are fertile causes of headaches. Long walks before breakfast are very bad for delicate people, and often bring vn headaches. Brain repair goes. on during sleep. People often don’t know, or forget, this, If you are worrying or work- ing hard all day, then go to bed late and get up early, you are very likely to be a “martyr to headache.” More sleep is what you need to cure you. For al] nervous headaches hot fo- mentations are most comforting and curative. - They are far better than cold applications. Want of exercise, living in badly ventilated rooms, indigestion or any- thing that lowers the health, predis- poses to headache. When headaches are not cured by simple means, a doctor should be con- sulted. They mean something. When hot fomentations are used, the application of them to the nape of the neck, as well as to the forehead, will give more relief than if used to the forehead only.

In the manufacture of alcohol from peat, a Danish company, with one ex- perimental plant at Denmark and one in France, has found the cost to be about one-fourth of that made . from potatoes. In the proeess of manu- facture, the cellulose or fiber of the peat is converted by sulphuric acid into a soluble carbohydrate and this is fermented by a special yeast.

An alloy that gives off showers of sparks when struck with metal—ignit- ing not only gas, but alcohol soaked wicks—was a recent accidental dis- covery of Auer von Welsbach. It con- tists of iron with cerium, lanthanium or other of the rare earths used for incandescent gas mantles, and the sparking is found to reach a maximum with the percentage of iron at thirty.

Probably in such cases nothing can be done to crange this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of peo- ple who get thin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constit- uents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of tho ali- mentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat iz mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatie juice. This juice is of alkaline reac- tion, and is rendered inert by the addi- tion of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive puar- poses. Therefore, the fats are not di- gested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the paticnt grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a ca- tarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric Juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stom- ach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermenta~ tion will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pan- creatic digestion of the oils, and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eats sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump- ness takes its place.
