All Drugsists HW 10 KIL By A. C. Page of the Agricultural College of Missouri, Univer- sity of Missouri, Everyone knows that milk will keep longer if it is kept cold than it will if it is warm. How many, however, know just why this is? The explana- tion is. fairly simple. ; Milk as it is ordinarily drawn, in an open bucket, with particles of dirt and dust falling in, contains a large number of bacteria. These are of all kinds, and some are harmful and some are not. One kind, the lactic acid bac- teria, grows faster than the others do in the fresh warm milk, and soon mul- tiplies in numbers, Every half hour, in fresh warm milk, these bacteria just double their number, Figure how many there will be in two or three hours if there are ten or fifteen thousand per cubic centimeter in the beginning. And this is a small number compared to those that may be in very dirty milk. These lactic acid germs are not harmful to the human body, but they cause the milk to sour. They eat up the sugar which is in the milk, and change it into lactic acid. from which they get their name. ‘his acid is what you taste as the sour part in soured milk. To keep the milk sweet, then, it is necessary to get it cooled off as soon as possible after milking. If there is much milk to handle, it will pay to use one of the many “aerators” which.are on the market. These are really only coolers, Milk set away in a large can or jar will stay warm a long time. for a small amount of milk probably the best way is to set it in shallow tin pans in cold water, Rocky Mount, N.

On badly worn lands the most re- munerative fertilizer application for Wheat will usually be one of the com- plete fertilizers, containing from one and a half to two and a half per cent nitrogen, and from eight to twelve per cent available phosphoric acid, and from two to three per cent pot- ash, applied with a fertilizer drill at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre | at the time the wheat is sown. On lands that have been fairly well | kept up in humus by crop rotation, | manuring and legume growing, the | application of 125 to 150 pounds of a! Bood grade of steamed bone meal will | be better practice. Such a bone meal i will contain approximately one and a | quarter per cent nitrogen, and from | twenty-eight to thirty per cent phos- | Phoric acid, about half of which is available. The raw bone meal will also give good results, but it contains from two and a half to four per cent nitrogen, which is more than one can afford to apply if the nitrogen has been maintained by proper systems of farming. The use of 150 to 200 pounds of acid phosphate on such lands will also be very remunerative. This acid phos- phate contains from fourteen to six: | teen per cent phosphoric acid, prac- tically all of which is avaiiable. Its cost is around $17.00 a ton, while the Steamed bone costs about $25.00 and the raw bone about $28.00. The acid phosphate has a tendency to cause the land to become sour with contin- ued use, and especially on lands where lime {s already beginning to} be needed, its long continued use is not so desirable as that of the bone meals, The bone meals also have a more lasting effect, due to the large amount of phosphorous which they contain in a more or less insoluble form, and their use is to be recom- ‘mended in preference to the acid the} cos, battered and bent by the big, guns of the modern navy and now a merely a pile of junk in Chesapeake Bay, is to be punished again with twelve-inch armor-ripping projectiles.

This refers to medium to| poor land. Steamed bone meal ap- plied at the same rate especially on | lands low in phosphates will give practically the same return. Care must be taken to avoid applying quan- tities much in excess of 75 pounds, since in a dry season particularly there is danger of “firing” the corn. | This is especially true with the com- plete fertilizer. It must be under- | stood that such a method of fertilizing | does not tend to build up the land. | Its office is more on the order of a stimulant to give the corn a quick, thrifty growth, and it can not be re- peated year after year without ulti- mate injury. Another method of using fertilizers | on corn is to distribute it with a fer- | tilizer grain drill ahead of the planter, This method gives particularly valu- | able returns on very poor land, but is not so remunerative on land of me-| dium fertility. The fertilizer to use in | this case will vary with the charac- | ter and thinness of the land. But for the thinnest lands, 150 to 200 pounds | of a complete fertilizer such as has | been recommended for wheat, or onj{ lands somewhat better, the same amount of steamed bone meal is to | be recommended. On lands of me-| dium fertility such an application is | not so remunerative to the corn itself, although where the bone is used, the benefits to crops following is impor- tant.

The use of raw rock phosphate has | been quite generally recommended in | some of the states east and south for | its beneficial effect on all crops where the soil is particularly low in phos- Phorus.

This | Phosphate is an insoluble form of | phosphorous, but where very finely | ground and applied in connection with | decaying humus which tends to make | it available, its use may be quite re- munerative. It is a cheap phosphate, because’ of its insolubility, costing | from $8.00 to $10.00 a ton in car lots in Missouri. It contains 28 to 30 per cent phosphoric acid, or about the Same as bone meal. It can, therefore, be applied rather heavily at the same a this $8rd/ cost as the usual application of the ‘O'MAXEY Cireait Clerk. |™MOre expensive phosphates. It is usually applied at the rate of 500 to 1,000 pounds an acre once in three to six years, depending on the rotation. It is best put on broadcast with a spe- | cial phosphate scatterer with manure or sod, turning it under for corn, as It may also be scattered on the manure in the lot or stable and applied with the manure in the spreader. Rock phosphate is rather a slow | acting phosphate at the best, and is therefore not adapted to the man wno i It is | must have immediate returns. best adapted to the permanent farmer who handles his land so as to main- tain the humus supply, and who can apply this phosphate with large amounts of manure, sod, or green manure crops. There is a great tendency where the use of fertilizers is begun to con- tinue their use year after year on the same land without adopting other means of maintaining productiveness. A man finds that fertilizer will bring a@ good return, and keeps using it year after year without crop rotation, growing one grain crop after another. | Such a use of fertilizer is disas- trous if continued, because under such a system the humus is rapidly ex- hausted in the soil, with the result that the soil becomes compact, loses its friable condition, and the yields decrease in spite of the fertilizer. Fertilizers alone will not maintain soil fertility. They should be used rather as an adjunct to the best sys- tems of maintaining fertility that can | be practiced. Used in this way, there will be no injury to the soil, and if in- telligently applied there will be good profits. The only man who can afford to use fertilizers on grain crops year after year on the same land, is the renter or temporary farmer who cares noth- ing for the future of the soil. To be sure, it requires a number of years of such continued use before the effects become apparent, and it may be justifiable for a man who is just beginning and who must meet his payments on the land to practice such a system for a few years, but it The only proper use of commercial ferttI- izers is in connection with the best | system of crop rotation, of legume growing and of humus building that a man can practice. MAKING CIDER VINEGAR Process Is Simple and Involves Very Little Work—Cleanliness Is First Important Factor. (By S. M. MILLER.) There are many apple orchards, es- Pecially those that have never been sprayed or cultivated, in which large quantities of apples are allowed to go to waste every year, Such fruit makes a good grade of cider vinegar, and a handsome profit can be made in utilizing it in this way. Even if one sprays and cultivates the orchard regularly each season and does everything possible to prevent having anything but’ marketable fruit there will always be a good many culls, However, do not allow these unmer- chantable apples to go to waste. Make cider vinegar from them and get a good price for the product right here at home. There is practically no labor attached to it other than extracting the juice from the apples. Perfect cleanliness first, last and all the time is a matter of vital impor- tance. Apples that are picked up from the ground are usually dirty and should be thoroughly washed before being placed in the cider mill. The mill and all utensils used in the | making must be kept well cleaned if a good product is to be made. To use unclean fruit or unclean vessels sim- ply invites bad fermentation. If all sorts of germs which are found | on dirty and decayed fruit are put in the cider a good quality of vinegar must not be expected. Where one has no mill the fruit can | be pulped by hand with wooden mauls | in a wooden trough, and where only a sufficient quanity of vinegar is want- ed for home use it is not a difficult matter to secure it in this way. The best receptacles in which to put the cider are molasses kegs or barrels, preferably those which have held vinegar previously, since fermen- tation commences sooner when the fer- menting organism is present than when it must find its way into the liquid from outside médiunts. To make a good grade of vinegar two factors are essential during the | process of fermentation. First, the air must have free access to the liquid to support the organism. Second, the |temperature must be favorable for the growth of the fermenting agent. The barrels or kegs should be placed in a room where the temperature will | be fairly constant at 70 to 75 degrees, | placed on their sides in order to give more surface to the atmosphere, and | | filled with the juice to within six in- ches to eight inches of the bunghole. Farm Notes. Weeds rob the soil of food elements required by other plants. Potatoes require considerable nitro- gen and a large amount of potash. The man who sells his corn, oats and hay is selling his farm out from under him. Pinch off the end of the squash and melon vines so the fruit will get more nourishment. Weeds sometimes injure by killing farm stock or by rendering their prod- uct unsalable. Old grass and clover pastures are much benefited by a dressing of plas- ter and ashes. in connection | aking cider vinegar is very simple. SAVED ~ FROM AN OPERATION | se « By Lydia E.

Decatur, Ill., Aug. 18.—Whether:a | team of horses can pull a two-bushel -sack of sand by means of a rope a quarter of a mile long is the question on which $2,000 has been wagered by Everett Ponting and Thomas Kiser, farmers living in Stonington township Christian county, Ilinois The unique wager has raised many arguments and more than $1,000 in side bets has been placed on the re- sult of the attempt, which will be tomorrow afternoon near Ponting’s farm. W. A. Powell of Taylorville offered to bet Kiser $500 more that Ponting's team would turn the trick, but the holder of the negative side of the bet refused to take any more. Powell sought to get in on the bet- ting because of a wager several years ago, when a single horse, owned by him, pulled a two-bushel sack of sand with two men on it, the rope attached however, being only half as long as the one to be used in the test tomor- row. on i ey Objects to Burning Hogs.
