The experiments conducted by the State Experiment Station on the soil experiment fields in various parts of Missouri have shown exceptional re- turns from phosphates in clover, In every case, the phosphate used has been the finely ground beef bone meal (steamed) applied with wheat, the clover being sown on the wheat in the spring. The wheat has been: benefitted in most instances so as to make its application on that crop very profitable but the results have been no less marked on the clover follow- ing. This has been especially true on some of the lands in south Missouri where both wheat and clover have | “been grown fora great many years, and where the clover has begun to show a tendency to fail. This has been due not only to a much better stand but to a greatly increased growth. From these experiments, bone meal can be confidently recommend- ed for practically all of the upland wheat soil in Southwest Missouri in particular. It should be applied at the rate of 125 to 150 Ibs. per acre with a fertilizers drill at the same time the wheat is sown, Any fertilizer con- taining from 10 to 15 per cent of available phosphoric acid will give practically the same results as the bone, but for lands that have been reasonably well kept up the bone meal is preferable. On the poorer lands a fertilizer containing from 2 to 3 per cent potash in addition to the phosphate will usually bring better results especially on the wheat. For clover, however, the phosphates such as the bone meals gives the most striking returns, M. F, MILLER, Agricultural Experiment Station, Couple End 110-Mile Walk.

This is not a trust, but the patrons of these creameries joined together and hired an expert) dairyman to go among themand teach them better methods of dairying than those in general use. This is entirely a new venture and the results will be | | watched with interest. | For anyone to claim that they have | cows in their herd that will givea “pailfull of milk with no other feed than just hay” isto show their ig-| norance of dairy methods, even though | they may tell the truth. A good cow will milk quite well for a while after calving with very little feed, but no one but a fool will imagine she can do this for any length of time with- out material to make the milk from. Some years ago Ihad a field of cora up three inches high and culti- killed it to the ground. Another field of like height, but not culti- vated, was barely touched. Cultiva- tion brought more moisture to the surface, with a harder freezing as the result. The frozen corn came on again all right. Frost is peculiar. A certain degree of cold will kill under one condition and will not under another. A neigh- bor once had corn killed entirely, with the thermometer registering no lower than it has when only the tips were frosted. Frost damage also goes in waves or streaks, There is something in suiting the corn to the soil. Trying to suit the soil to the corn isa tough proposi- tion, as many a man who has tried corn adapted to bottom soil on thin- ner up-land has found to his sorrow. I find it does not pay to crowd ina corn a little too big for the soil. Driving a tired horse to town after supper is one way to make a young horse old. Hundreds of clover fields that should have been good for another season failed to live through the win- ter. This calls for more corn. Ido not recall a year when the corn acre- age has been greater around me. By what I read it is the same pretty much all over the corn belt. Perhaps the} 1910 crop will hold some of the wind-tossed cribs down. Furrows the roof again. Anything that stopsa gap in the fence is called a gate. A great many are not worthy the name. Years ago, when I thought nothing better could be afforded, there were several wire gates on this farm. _ I still have wire gates, but they are of woven wire on aframe, quite different from three or four barb wires tied together in the middle and often loose at both ends.

I have an old sow and a stag that will bring close to $100. Fifty dollars apiece is more than any bacon hog would bring for packing purposes, no matter how finely streaked with lean. Nowadays the man who has lean hogs has a lean pocket book. For some years I have been watch- ing the work done by those four- horse graders, and have come to the conclusion that they are all right and they are not all right. After a grade | has been made, they are all right to keep it up, but they are not gratle- makers from the start to the finish. It takes a grader of weight to make a smooth cut and, of course, weight calls for horse power or some other orses, For some time I have been trying to keep a box culvert in at a crossing into one of my fields, the box bridg- ing the usual roadside ditch. Hauling spreader loads of manure over it and thrashing engines going over it soon put it out of repair. It is now out en- tirely and will remain out until I can put in something more substantial than a box. It will bea small con- crete arch when I get the time. Who doesn’t like to see a good, clean game of baseball? It is the great American game and every country town does well to encourage | ball playing on Saturday afternoon. It brings the people in to watch the game, encouraginga class that is often tod hide-bound with work to take a little rest and recreation at the week end. 1 must confess that I still have a great. hankering after ball games, The other day I saw an old farmer who retired to town on the Ist of March. He came in the lumber yard where I was after lumber, and acted as if the team, the wagon and the work looked good to him. I’ll wager a keg of nails he wished himself in my place when I drove out of town. The man who harrowed behind the plow any time last month did not harrow in sorrow. He has been glad he did it ever since. This has also been one of those springs when disking the.stalk field ‘or small grain was better than plow- ing it. I plowed a corner where the stalk growth was extra heavy, and the drouth is hitting harder there. It is early yet, and rains may fall of local politics or colossal campaign | contributions. | Had the Cannon machine been | working smoothly, the railroad bill! would have been prepared by com-| mittee in the exact form it would) have become a law. That is, a few! men would have done the legislating instead of the entire membership of the House. Had Cannonism prevail- ed, the railroad bill would have been reported from committee under a rule prohibiting the membership of the House from voting for or against amendment. Bad features of the bill could not have been eliminated. The entire measure, jokers and all, would have been forced down the throat of the House just as submitted by ‘Un- cle Joe's’ Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, which is generously packed with men friendly to the railroads. The improvement of the railroad bill in the House through a iti of the Democrats and Progressives is a cause for rejoicing. But it does not | mean that the people have really wrested control of the national law- making machinery from the special privilege ring. For this reason: The House is only the lower branch of Congress. The railroad bill will not become a law as passed by the House. The Senate is the dominat- ing branch of Congress, and it is still controlled absolutely by the greedy corporate interests. The Senate will) pass a bill containing some of the very features stricken from the meas- | ure in the House as being against the welfare of the people. Both the Senate and House bills will then be sent to a conference committee com- posed of either three or five mem- bers of each branch of Congress. As the majority of the conferees will be “regular” Republicans, specially selected by Aldrich and Cannon, it goes without saying that much of the good work accomplished by the House Democrats and Progressives will be reversed. The finale of the railroad bill prom- ises to be the tariff fiasco all over again. Representative government will | have given special privileges a tight! race, but in the finish Aldrichism and | Cannonism will win by a nose! But | why should such a result be consid- ‘ered strange? For what purpose do | the railroads make $250,000 contribu- | tions to the Republican campaign fund if it is not to control the Repub- lican party’s legislation?

D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, says: “Our little eight-year-old girl had a bad cough, and was ina general run-down condition.” She had several doctors, who could give the child no re- lief, and the mother no encouragement, Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna and commenced giving it to the child, and it proved to be just what she needed, When she commenced taking Peruna the child had to be carried, Now the mother says she is playing ground all the time. ‘ Her closing words.were: “You have done a great deal for her, She is the only girl we have, and it meant lots to us to have her cured.” These are samples of many letters which Dr. Hartman is receiving, com- ing straight from the hearts of loving mothers, While the different schools of medicine are bickering and differing as to theories and remedies, Peruna goes rightsteadily on giving permanent relief, After all, it ts cures that the ‘Theortes are or Tite account, papers and persons would take ad- vantage of the information thus dis- closed and proceed to denounce the candidate on the strength of the char- acter of the contributions made to his campaign.” In other words, if the voters were permitted to know who was putting up the money for the candidate’s campaign they might de- feathim. Could a stronger argument be presented for publicity BEFORE election as well as after election? | Think it over. Instead of saving any portion of the $300,000,000 which Senator Aldrich asserts is being wasted by the govern- ment annually through ‘‘obsolete business methods,” the Taft adminis- tration threatens to break all records in the history of the government in the enormous expenditure of money. It looks now as if the appropriations for this session of Congress would exceed the appropriations of the last regular session to the extent of about $20,000,000. This will be a billion dollar session and then some. ° Congressman Charles F. Barclay, of Pennsylvania, a Cannon Republi- can, has allowed it to become known that the state of his health will not permit him to continue as a candidate jfor re-election. This is the ninth “standpatter’’ whose ill health, due largely to voting for the Payne-Ald- rich tariff revision upward, has neces- sitated withdrawal from the approach- ing congressional elections. During the first ten days of May the government spent $1,619,081.48 more than it took in. (Newspapers that have been stating the new tariff law is a.success from the standpoint of producing sufficient revenue to run the government, please copy.) The Postal Bank bill, promised in the National Republican platform as a substitute for the guarantee of bank deposits, is hovering between life and death in the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads. “Immediate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico,” another Republi- can promise, lies neglected and alone in the Senate Committee on Terri- tories.
