AN you give me any details of percolation teats? N. We N. do not know that we have at hand extensive details, but we can give the from following Storer: So long ago as 1796-9- 8 the English chemist, three sunk a cylinder Dalton, feet deep and ten inches in diameter into the soil, filled it with earth, made it level with the surface of the land, and after the first year grew grass upon 1L By collecting the water at the bottom of this cylinder he found that 25 per cent of the yearly rainfall had percolated through the earth Into The difference he attributed to evaporation. Simultaneously with Dalton, Maurice, at Geneva, using an Iron cylinder filled with earth, found that the percolation was equal to 89 per cent of a rainfall amounting to 26 inches per annum. GaBparin, in the south of France, In 1820-2noted 20 cent of a per percolation from rainfall of 28 inches. Dickinson, In England, in 1836-4at a locality where the average rainfall was 26.6 inches, used a Dalton rain gauge three feet deep and 12 inches wide, filled with gravelly n loam and at the surface. He found as the average of eight years observations that 11.3 inches percolated in a year, or about 42.5 per cent of the rainfall, while 57.5 per cent either evaporated or remained in the soil. In round numbers of the rainfall would pass out of the land through the drains, though very considerable variations were noticed, ranging from 33 to 57 per cent, in the course of the experiments. Kisler, In (1867-68- ), Switzerland by gauging drains that had been laid four feet deep in a compact impervious soil, which bore crops at the time of the experiment, found that 30 per cent of the average rainfall of 41 inches percolated, while 70 per cent of it evaporated. Pfaff, In Erlangen, and Wold-rlch- , at Salsburg and at Vienna, found that only of the yearly rainfall percolated through two feet of bare soil when the evaporation was greater than the rainfall; that almost percolated when evaporation was equal to rainfall, and that rather more than one-ha-lf when the percolated evaporation was somewhat less than the rainfall. Woldrich found Invariably that less water percolated two feet In soil upon which grass was growing' than In a bare soil. Very light rains were wholly lost by evaporation from the grass leaves, because the drops clung to the leaves until they 1 it 2, 3, grass-grow- two-fift- one-four- hs th one-thi- I n ?

HEWLETT BROS. CO., Mfrs. SALT LAKE CITY. POCATELLO. 3 3 the greatest causes of milk in the common farm dairy is the milk pail. Only the most advanced dairymen pay sufficient attention to this utensil. Wooden buckets and even paper pails are UBed for the purpose of receiving milk at milking time. Both of these easily become saturated with the acids formed from the milk, and in a short time, though they may appear clean, are absolutely worthless. If it be desired to keep the milk in a proper state. The wooden pall can be washed and scalded, but the wood pores retain that which will not be loosened by ordinary hot water. Bat In many cases even no extraordinary attempts are With the made for their cleansing. One of Cp-te-D-ate Flowing In tho FnlL While the character of the soil must In a measure at least be considered in determining whether or not land Intended to be planted to crops In the spring should be plowed In the fall, writes N. J. Shepherd in Nebraska Farmer. We have been trying the plan for several years and with our soil and under the conditions that our farminr Is done, find it quite an advantage. With all crops In the spring we find we are able to get the ground into good condition for the reception of the seed with considerable less work than If the powiug was deferred. Then It Is possible in nearly all cases to get the planting done earlier, and this here is quite an item. Here with nearly every crop It Is the early planting that gives tbs best growth and yield and we find It profitable to take every advantage to get the seed In early. If the ground la plowed deep and thorough and good drainage is provided In the fall the ground will dry out easier and warms up qulcked than if left undisturbed. This year both with oats and corn those who were able to get the seeding done early raised good crops of both, while the late seeding of both crops were nearly a failure. We find it an advantage in getting the most out of the manure to plow more or lest In the fall. During the summer a good part of the stock are kept In the pasture and there is not a very large quantity ef manure that can be secured to apply on tbe cultivated fields. It is during the fall and winter that the greatest amount can be secured. Our plan all through the winter la aa far as possible to haul out and apply all of the manure as fast as made and I am satisfied that better results in every way can be secured by applying on plowed land. Load into the wagon direct from the stables sheds or feeding lots, haul to the fields when it Is wanted and scatter from the wagon. This saves time and labor and gives good results. The work necessary to put the soil in a proper condition for the reception of the seed will work the manure sufficiently in with the soil. Our land lays so that It does not wash and this with the ad po-luti- on Those paper pall It Is even worse. palls are stiffened by rosin and if they be subject to very bot water they will become soft and easily fall to pieces. We have seen more than one of tbess palls ruined by carrying boiling water In them. So when they are used on the farm and in the milking stable tbey are only treated with tepid water. Tills In a cannot cleanse them properly. washed are If short time, also. they much the paint comes from the inside and the bare roBln walls are laid bare, which tend to Impart to the milk a very disagreeable flavor. That they should be abandoned there Is no question. Tin palls, if properly kept, are alone suitable for this work. A white iron pall Is preferable, as such palls can be got that have no creases in the bottoms, the whole pall being run in a single mould. There are also no creases in the sides. The only crease Is at the top where the pail is rolled around the wire that runs around the top. Therefore, the whole pall can be kept clean easily. If it costs more than the others, the cost Is soon offset by a saving in work of cleansing, to say nothing about tbe better condition In which the milk Is kept A proper attention to the milk pail will pay well. MaiUeinM for Fear Blight. "The idea of introducing medicines of some sort into the sap of the tree to kill the germ of pear blight is not new, says E. C. Powell in National Stock-man. Every once in a while it springs up somewhere through an advocate who thinks he has discovered it Just now it is having its Innings in the Rural New Yorker through the original Investigations of an Illinois fruit grower. He had some pear trees which were blighted badly, and undertook to cure them by Introducing medicines througb the roots. A hole was dug near the tree and a root secured as large as ones finger. This was cut off and introduced Into a large bottle containing the desired remedy, the neck of the bottle stuffed with putty, and the whole thing put under ground again. One tree was killed by using too strong & substance, and another was supposed to be helped by using a weak solution of corrosive sublimate. But this tree wfilch blighted badly last year was saved by the vigorous use of the saw and knife. Undoubtedly all tbe blight was cut out, and the use of tbe corrosive sublimate proves nothing. It Is not along this line that any remedy may be hoped for. The use of a - strongspray of Bordeaux mixture In early spring to kill the blight germs will prove of much more help. A careful and thorough pruning out of all affected parts and burning the same at once Is the only way to prevent the spread of the blight Feeding the tree with an abundance of potash and phosphoric acid and not too great an amount of nid trogen, to develop a hard, wood growth, where the cells are strong and hardy, will also be of advantage. close-graine- Apples for Cold Storage. Craig of the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada, takes a hopeful view of the matter of keeping apples In cold storage, says an exchange. It Prof. may be questionable whether Prof. Craig is wholly right In hls optlmlstio views, but here is what he says: Before long you will see a revolution in tbe apple trade. Winter applet will not be a necessity. Cold storage will solve the difficulty. Probably before two years are over, you will set In every fruit growing district cold storage bouses on the plan, based on the cold storage buildings at the World's Fair. Fall apples put into cold storage buildings where tbs temperature Is 34 degrees may bs kept an indefinite length of time. Thus winter apples will not be necessary. When 1 was at the World's Fair, in tbs middle of tbe hot season, I saw in good condition Ducheas of Oldenburg apples which had been ripened early the previous summer and. kept in- cold storage. While in Montreal recently I noticed in tbe new cold storage building beautiful California pears. Bran. Pin your faith upon bran-w- heat bran for the milch cow.
