By a change In its make-up Godeys now gives its readers fourteen pages more reading matter than in the past. The leading fiction piece is a new eerial by Stanley Edwards Johnson. "The Wimpled Maid of Nantucket," which begins in this issue, and ia a tale of intense interest, dealing with the loves, avarice and hidden treas ' ures of characters drawn from his tory. There are seven other new stories in this number. There b CUM ff Pe. Who are injured by the use of coffee.

The sufferer who has been kept awake by the cough falls into a restful sleep, and awakes strong and refreshed. Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is acknowledged to be a specific for all pulmonary complaints Physicians praise and prescribe it. It is now put up in half size bottles at half price, 50c. "One of my children bad.cronp. One night I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it fonnd it strangling. It bad nearly ceased to breath. Having a part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given the child's breathing grew easier, and in a snort time it was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day.

Uv-tartDM mmtm Akmtt CwtXkw Un ff tfc 9tm. a BwIraltenw TUleiUsn CSdtOSVh aS Ftocl- Dm aatls KaUy laesi t HOUGH the opin ions of farmers have undergone material change on this point during the past decade there is still much misconception as to the conditions un der which this loss may occur and the degree to which it may be prevented. The porous charac ter of post soils Is doubtless chiefly responsible for the fact that within the memory of farmers still in active busi ness the belief was general that a very material loss of soluble plant food was inevitable from most soils whenever the supply furnished was much in excess of the immediate needs of the crop to be grown thereon. If soils really leach, the lost or leached material of course escapes in the water draining through the soil. Care ful and systematic study of drainage waters, both by the use of the lysl meter and the tile drain during the past few years shows first that the actual' loss of nutriment In drainage waters is far less frequent than was supposed, and second the character of the waters gives definite knowledge of the kind of nutriment carried away by them and the conditions under which the loss takes place. That the danger of loss is greatly exagger ated is well demonstrated by my own personal experience. For two entire growing seasons a fertile sandy loam showed absolutely no loss of plant food at a depth of three feet, that Is, not a trace of either phosphoric acid, ni trogen or potash reached three feet deep in the percolating waters. As most plants send their roots to great er" depths than this it is evident that there was not only no loss from the soil, but that all the nutriment ap plied, or within three feet of the sur face, was accessible. The important question now is: Under what conditions does leaching occur and how can loss from this source be prevented? it is now accepted that nitrogen Is the only one of the three food essentials which is susceptible to leaching to such an extent as to render its loss of mate rial consequence, and this loss is ex clusively of nitric acid. This, however, is the last and final form of nitrogen and the only one actually taken up by the crop. All other forms or sources of nitrogen must be decomposed and nitric acid be formed before assimi lation can begin. These other forms including all fertilizing forms or sources of nitrogen except the ni trates, of which nitrate of soda is the only one of commercial importance to the farmer, are under no normal soil condition acceptable to the leaching property. It therefore follows that these forms of manures or fertilizers may be used in any quantity and at any time desired without danger of loss from leaching. In using stable manure the important practical fact is that the manure once Incorporated with the soil becomes fixed beyond the possibility of loss, since nitric acid formation Is so slow as to never ex ceed the power of a crop to utilize. Nitrates, on the other hand, being susceptible to leaching, should be ap plied only to meet the Immediate de mands of the growing crop lest I033 from leaching follow. The finer the soil particles in any given case the greater the absorbing power and the less is the probability of loss. This fact explas the absorptive power of much soils, rather than.as is commonly supposed, the presence of a high humus content in such soils; As already inti mated phosphoric acid and potash arc not capable of leaching through agri cultural soils under normal conditions. This fact is due to the absorptive pow er of soils for these substances and their compounds. The important fact in this connection is that the soil con stituent exerting strongest force In this direction is the silica, which com poses so large a part of all soils. These soils high in content of silica, of which sand is typical, are usually of coarse texture and are those usually consid ered as especially susceptible to leach ing. It appears, however, that leach ing of two of the three essentials of plant food Is actually prevented by the presence of silica or sand. A very im portant practical result of these facts is that potash salts can be applied so early as to overcome any possible evil effect from the presence of chlorine on certain crops and yet no possible loss from leaching follow. H. E. Stockbridge. Protecting Strawberries. Winter protection should, at the north, be applied about the last of No vember; in this latitude about Decem ber 10th or 15th. A good rule is to apply It as soon as the ground freezes hard enough for a wagon to drive over the fields without breaking through the frozen crust. The chief object in winter protection is to lessen the heav ing of the soil and the consequent DreaKing or the roots and rootlets of the plants. The stiffcr the soil the worse the heaving, and the greater the necessity of protection. The covering shouldg-ot be thick enough to entire ly preset the soil from freezing, but to greatly lessen the freezing in the severest weather. Pine straw, -a little less than an inch deep after it settles, is the proper depth in this latitude. It would have to be deeper in proportion as you went north. In winter protec tion at the north the whole ground should be covered, beds, middles and all. The varieties of material that can be used are almost endless. Where pine straw, or pine needles, as it is often called, can be obtained it is al most the ideal covering. Of all similar material it is the least likely to be blown off. Wheat straw, oat straw, marsh grass and other similar things are used. Cornstalks can also be used, but as they do not lie close a much thicker layer will, of course, be neces sary. The great objection to oak and similar leaves is that they blow ofi so bad, which is also the case with oat and wheat straw unless they are cut up very fine. -Yet such leaves and straw are often used and anchored in place by placing on then small stones or a little earth at short intervals. All avail able stable or barn yard manure should be used for this purpose, tak ing the place of other material! If coarse it can be applied quite thick di rectly over tbe plants. If verr fine it will be best to use it mostly around and between tbe plants and to put a coarser, more open material just over the plants. The effect of too close a material over plants Is to bleach and make them tender. Whatever cover ing is used it must be nearly all re moved from immediately over the plants about the time that growth be agy?k gins in the spring. The material can the rows, where It wm serve tk Me Mrpose of keeping the clean and of conserving ssoistare the so essential to a good crop! Whether winter nrotection pays or Is even advte- 01V soaw wx use aims muv utrm nasi Is ascertain. I have experimented for saany winters. Some winters it did good; some winters it sensed to be rather harmful. It certainly would not be advisable farther south where crick ets and harmful Insects harbor under it and feed on the plants. Besides, the warmer the climate the more danger of smothering and bleaching the plants. But stable or barn yard ma nure Is excellent in any climate if properly used. I have never known; any insect pests to harbor under it At the south it should be applied around and between the plants. Used In this way with a liberal dressing of hard wjod ashes (fifty bushels to the acre can be used), or '300 pounds of kainlt in place of the ashes and 300 pouids of acid phosphate, a heavy crop of fine berries will almost surely be made. The fertilizer should be applied before the manure. It is also good -to use without the manure. O. W. Blacknall. Vance County, N. C. .VI. . -- U- -.. Vkt 11 Conk Ht - Georgia Press Bulletin 36: The sta tion has just finished shredding the corn stalks from five acres of corn. The crop was very much injured by the ex treme heat and drouth, and the yield of grain was cut off at least 25 per cent The corn was cut down Just above the surface of the ground August 23 and immediately shocked, placing about 15 stalks in each shock, and tying the top of each shock with twine. No rain fell on the shocks and the ears were husked out October 3, and the stalks imme diately run through the shredding ma chine,' being apparently perfectly dry. The yield of the five acres was as fol lows: Shelled corn 155 ba Shredded stalks, or stover... 14,000 lb3 This represents a yield per acre of 31 bushels of shelled corn and 2,800 pounds of dry corn hay, which is be lieved to be very nearly equal in feed ing value to good Timothy hay. In the above total yield of corn hay Ib In about 1,300 lbs of the stalks, which aro almost universally saved and utilized by Georgia farmers. But there Is also included in the 2,800 lbs of corn hay about 1,300 lbs of the stalks, which are usually permitted to remain on the ground and non-utilized as food. This 1,300 pounds represents the food loss for every 31 bushels of shelled corn. The corn crop of Georgia, for conven ience, may be stated at 31,000,000 bush els, sometimes less, often more. Then at 1,300 pounds of corn hay, heretofore not saved, for every 31 bushels of corn, the total loss in the state would be 1,300 lbsxl.000,000 equals 1,300,000 000 pounds, or 650,000 tons of corn hay, a very good food, and worth at least $10 a ton, or a total of 36,500, 000, or about enough to pay for all the commercial fertilizers used in Georgia in one year. This may be considered a remarkable statement, and it will no doubt surprise many a farmer who has not thought about it, and who has (per haps) imagined that he has been very saving and economical. Tbe JoaqalU The species and varieties of Narcis sus jonquilla, are popularly known as "Jonquils" and possess many points of similarity with the small Sewered section of that very extensive genu, says Vick's Magazine. Although they do not present a great variety of col ors, yet they are highly prized for their charming, golden, fragrant flowers, which are freely produced. They are perfectly hardy, and may be success fully grown by any one in either the flower border, green house or window garden. And as the bulbs can be pro cured at a very moderate price, they well deserve all that can be said in their praise. The bulbs can be plant ed any time from September to Decem ber, although it Is best to plant them as early as possible. In potting let' three or four bulbs, according to their size, be placed in a four inch pot, and if large masses are wanted, larger pots or pans, and more bulbs can be used. In potting let the pots or pans be prop erly drained, and use a compost con sisting of two-thirds turfy loam, one third well decayed manure and a fine sprinkling of bone dust Mix well and use the compost rough. In pot ting fill the pots or pans to within three inches of the top, then set in the bulbs, keeping them a few inches apart, and then fill to within half an inch of the top. Water thoroughly and place in a cool, dark' cellar to make root watering when necessary. Co-operative Hor Killing-. The farmers of Maine have circum vented the beef trust, says Iowa State Register. They have organized 1,000 fresh pork and fresh beef clubs in that state, each club composed of ten mem bers. Instead of buying their fresh meats from the trust and paying trib ute to it they provide themselves with such seasonable delicacies. The ten farmers belonging to a club arrange for a succession of butcheries. That is, a bog is killed every so many days dur ing the winter season and the fresh pork is divided into ten parts, each b'amlly getting one part This does not include the hams and other portions of the animal which are salted or pickled for future use. The arrangement amounts to a co-operative meat shop. The farmers lose nothing and they get fresh pork all the time. The Mains idea may spread to other states. It is something of an outrage that our hogs should be sent to Chicago to be butch ered and then sent back to be eaten. It follows as the night does the day that the consumer must pay for the freight both ways, or else the hog grower pays it, and there is beside the expense of handling the hog and the meat in Chicago. Various ways have been suggested to get rid of such an industrial loss and folly, but the Maine way seems to be a solution as far as the farmers themselves are concerned. Bees in Orcharding. The past sea son to an unusual extent has shown the good work of the bees in pollinat ing fruits. In bee keeping neigh borhoods the crop of all the orchard and small fruits has been noticeablj larger and more perfect than in parts where bees have not been Introduced This is true in all seasons, but the moist, ccol weather of last spring was peculiarly unfavorable for pollination, except by insects, and these were scarce where bees were not kept The writer kept for years from 50 to 200 stance of bees in his orchard in Ben ton county. Some seasons there bene fit was not specially apparent But dur ing such springs as the past one we had full or nearly full crops when the beeless neighborhoods were nearly des titute. No fact is better established than the one that the honey boss un der fairly good management pay their way richly in stored sweets and act as experts in Eome lines of agricultural and horticultural work that man does not well understand.

This in quiry Is no doubt mainly caused by the greatly increased Interest in sugar beet culture by farmers at the present time, and this bulletin Is intended to, in a measure, .answer the inquiry. The beet contains considerable less nutri ment than our standard coarse fodders, 100 pounds of beets containing some thing over a pound of digestible muscle making food, while red clover contains about six and one-half pounds, and Timothy bay nearly three pounds. The Talue of beets as a food, however, SfSely lies in their influence on the digestive organs at a time of year when stock is usually fed only dry foot. Tbe almost universal report from practical feeders and experimenters is, that roots are valuable as winter food for stock, and sugar beets take a leading place among the roots in this respect They contain more nutriment than mangels, carrots, rutabagas and com mon turnips. Their sugary nature makes them especially palatable. For sheep or milch cows no better roots can be fed. They keep the bowels open and tend to prevent impaction with cat tle and sheep and give a gloss to the coat and condition to the skin not se cured by dry feed. One can hardly measure the money value of roots by their chemical composition. For many years, they have had a high valuation Jn the esteem of British stockmen and are extensively grown in Europe for winter feeding. In the United States, valuations have been placed on beets at about S2 to $2.50 a ton for stock food, but tho matter of price varies, slightly according to circumstances. In feeding experiments conducted in the United States with sugar beets, these roots have been fed In connection with other foods. At this station, beets have invariably been fed to advantage, and we have used sugar beets for years for cattle and sheep. At the Ohio station, where corn silage and field beets have been compared In feeding dairy cattle, the beets have caused the best gains In weight of cows, size of milk flow and production of butter fat The sugar beet ha3 no quality injurious to the milk, when fed dairy cattle, while tur nips, unless fed with considerable care, will give an objectionable flavor to it The beets can be fed to best advantage after slicing or running through a root cutter, and fifty pounds per head for average cattle with other foods is an ample quantity. Now that beet sugar factories are being erected in this country, there will be considerable refuse beet pulp, which is regarded a3 a valuable food. At the Lehl, Utah, factory a feeding company has con tracted for all tne pulp for a term of years, and fe'eds in sheds near the fac tory. It is said that the cattle eat from 100 to 125 pounds of pulp per day, be sides about fifteen pounds of hay. Analyses by tbe California experiment station show beet pulp to contain nearly as much protein as corn silage, and somewhat less of the other food ingredients, and tbe feeding value is estimated at 2.02 per ton, while corn silage Is placed at $3.22 per ton. Beet pulp is entirely suited to the silo, and in the vicinity of beet factories, it is kept ensiled. In the future growth of the beet sugar industry in America, the residue of pulp will be regarded as an important addition to the feeding rations of the live stock of the neigh borhood. Other roots can be grown more cheaply than sugar beets, but where the latter are grown, they may be fed to stock to great advantage. C. S. Plumb. Director. Ilotr Much Salt. Pcople'3 tastes differ widely. Some believe that salt brings out the flavor of the butter, and so they want plenty of it Others want the rich, creamy flavor of the butter and do not like to have it buried in salt. There is, how ever, an increasing tendency toward milder flavors, and with a vast ma jority of the consumers who get their supplies from the New York markets, lighter salted butter is preferable. Of course our exporters object to heavy salting. In England, as well as in the best dairying sections on the conti nent, 3 per cent of salt is considered ample. Some of the recent shipments of fresh creamery from the Canadian provinces have carried only 2 to 3 per cent of salt, and they pleased the Eng lish buyers. No rule can be followed absolutely. The rentention of salt de pends a good deal upon the working and washing of the butter, but I can hardly believe that more than three quarters of an ounce of salt to the pound of butter will ever be required. Consult the merchant who is selling your goods and follow his advice in this respect Give him what his trade requies. The old idea that butter must be salted heavily to keep well, espec ially in the summer, loses its force un der the present perfect system of re frigeration. W. C. Taber. Two Litters a Year. A sow that has become reasonably well matured and that is in strong, thrifty condition will farrow two good litters of pigs a year. The cost of keeping her with one litter is not much less than if she should have two, while the difference In the profit she gives to her owner is consid erable. Her first litter should come after the spring gras3 has made a good start in order that she may have the milk to suckle well, though an old sew may be bred to farrow earlier. Tho 'second litter should come reasonably early in the fall, so as to give the pigs opportunity for a good growth and that they may become accustomed to eat ing before encountering any of the hardships of winter. If kept growing through the winter they may be pre pared for market before the hot weather of the following summer. The worst times to have a sow farrow or to try to prepare hog3 for narket are in mid-summer and mid-winter. Breed ing should be done so as to avoid ex tremes of temperature afc time. Texas Farm Journal. larrowmi Butter Fat in Whey.It has been claimed by some that there is no m.re loss of fat in handling rich milk tlr.m in making up medium or poor milk. The results of three years' experiments at the Ontario agricultural college lead conclusively to the opinion that the whey from milk rich in butter-fat con tains a higher percentage of fat than does the whey from medium or pooi milk. Not only is the percentage of fat in the whey higher, but tbe loss of fat originally in the milk is greater per 100 pounds of cured cheese when made from the rich milk. Carbonaceous Food. If inclined to run down in flesh because giving much milk, cows should be given carbonace ous food, like corn meal, to keep them in condition. Of course, they will then eat less coarse food, and the cost will be increased; but cows like a variety of food, and will digest more if they have it. Ex.

In view of the fact that the rules of practice 7 and 8 are violated in the United States Pateat efftee by sending misleading communications direct to applicants for patents who have not paid the filing fees, a public explanation seems necessary. In said communications occurs the fol lowing: "Your attorney has been ad vised of the non-payment of this fee, but has made no response. Until the fee is paid the application is incom plete and no action whatever can be taken." In personal conversation with Ac ting Commissioner Greeley last Sep tember I made complaint of such of ficial action and he replied he was not aware that they were doing so.
