The Attorney General of the United

An agreement fixing $50.000,000 as the
price to be paid for the properties of the
Union Tractioa and Chicago City 1 tail-

to purchase them , has been reached be

recommend an ordinance for said pur
chase , and Mayor Dunne expressed his
approval.

quite a remarkable interview. On bein
asked if he wss ambitious to become r.
financial king , he said : "I would give i-
all up to-morrow if I could. " Contrary
to the opinion recently expressed by J.

ed was the development of the territory
through which the railroads ran and im

In its employ a large staff of men who
are studying the life history of the
pernicious Insects to find out where
tLey are vulnerable.
The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. Tha cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax of $30-
000,000 on the cotton crop , is now con
trolled by sprays ; it has been proven
that the ravages of the Russian fly
which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
In Indiana 60 per cent besides greatly
impairing the yield of the remaining
acreage , can be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the
fly Is not so rapacious ; the coddling
moth is controlled by arsenical sprays
and $20,000,000 worth of apples saved

of watching the insects.
Drr Earth , an a. Disinfectant.
It Is well known that fine , dry dirt is
one of the best of absorbents and dis
infectants. It Is also plentiful , and
costs nothing but the labor of han
dling. It makes excellent bedding , if
covered over with a few inches of
straw , and It really keeps the cows
clean , even when used in the stalls
without straw , as it is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out In a much shorter time than when
the earth is not used , and , as dirt ab
sorbs the liquids and gases , quite a
saving Is effected in that manner. Its
use goes beyond the stall. As the sta
ble should be cleaned daily , quite a
large quantity of dry earth will be
used in the course of a year , and it
(7ill ( necessarily be added to the heap
Itself , yet its presence therein will
louble the value of the manure by pre
senting loss of fertilizing material. It
is a better absorbent than straw or
: orn stalks , and is easily handled when
the manure is hauled to the fields.

Dissolved Bone Black.
When bone black Is treated with sul-
> huric acid the insoluble phosphate
vhlch it contains is converted into sol-
ible phosphate , says a Virginia bulle-
in. Dissolved bone black contains
rom 15 to 25 per cent of available
ihosphoric acid. In this form it is one
f the most valuable phosphatic fertil-
zers. The question is oftenasked , Is
.vailable phosphate from dissolved
tone better than that from dissolved
ock ? It would be well , therefore , to
tate In this connection that available
ihosphoric acid has the same value re-
; ardless of its source.

Of 319 samples of whole milk analyz-

unfavorable than the results obtained
in previous years. Twenty-nine & ; uu-
ples of cream examined showed per
centages of fat ranging irom 12.03 to
33.01. The author believes that the
following standard should be estab
lished in Canada : Whipping cream
not lers , than 25 per cent fat , and table
cream not less than 17.5 per cent.
Alfalfa an a Weed Killer.
Probably no other crop , without a
single exception , presents so many
characteristics of value. As it is stud
ied more and more , and as new experi
ments are made with it iu different
capacities , its wonderful capacities be
come more and more manifest. A very
eminent authority has discovered that
it Is a weed eradicator of unfailing
power. This will seem like contradic
tion to readers who have been cau
tioned about weeds , and which will
prove more destructive to alfalfa than
any combatable influence. Neverthe
less it is strictly true that the plant is
the greatest destroyer of weeds known.
This comes not so much from any qual
ity contained In the alfalfa plant , but
from the inability of the weeds to en
dure having their lieads cut off so
many times in summer close to their
feet The most strenuous weed soon
will succumb to this hursh treatment ,
while the alfalfa plant will thrive all
the better the more it is cut. If weeds
can be kept back from choking the
young alfalfa plants until they , the al
falfa plants , are tall enough to be
mowed , the question of weeds in the
particular parcel of ground Is settled.
Therefore , it is wise to select a weedy
piece of ground for the alfalfa field ,
but before sowing the seed every pre
caution should be taken to kill as many
weeds as possible. This can best bo
done by simply following the oft-re
peated injunction to thoroughly pre
pare the seed bed before sowing the
seed. If this be done , and the tract
harrowed and rolled after plowing at
a time when the tiny weeds begin to
show green over the field , and again
just before time to sow , there will be
the cleanest field on the farm before
the year is out. There are many weed-
infected farms and many farmers who
have despaired of ever getting rid of
the weeds. Alfalfa suggests the means
of riddance , C. M. Ginther in Agricul

Teatina : Individual Covra.
A circular by the Illinois Station em
phasizing the importance of studying
the production of individual cows con
tains records for one year of eighteen
dairy herds in Illinois , Including 221
cows. The average production was 5- ,
G1G.99 pounds of milk and 226.G3
pounds of butter fat The best herd
averaged 350.17 pounds of butter fat
and the poorest 142.05 pounds. The
best ten cows averaged 388.75 pounds
of butter fat and the poorest 10,109.42
pounds. It is believed that at least
one-third of the cows in the ordinary
herds are practically unprofitable. A
marked improvement was observed in
herds where grading had been prac
ticed. It was found possible to remove
five cows from a herd of ten and there
by increase the profit $7.02 per head.
