Barley and Alfalfa.— We intend to 
sow 10 acres of beardless barley and 
seed with Alfalfa. We have grown 
Alfalfa the past few years (about two 
acres), and esteem it very highly. We 
think of using it for silage for Summer 
feeding if we succeed in getting a good 
catch. What we now have we use mostly 
for soiling purposes. We have four small 
stave silos, 10x24 feet, and fill them with 
our corn cutter and gasoline engine. This 
is a new way to obtain a seeding with Al¬ 
falfa, but I know of a number of instances 
where it was a success last season. m.

Irrigation Troubles. —The Philadelphia 
Record prints the following: “A dispatch 
from Phoenix, Arizona, says that 20,000 In¬ 
dians on the Sacaton Reservation are suf¬ 
fering from famine. They are short of 
water, and, as a consequence, are short of 
supplies. The enterprising white man hav¬ 
ing diverted the water from its natural 
sources, the Indian ranches have been 
made arid. The grass is dried up, and the 
cattle are dying. All this should make in¬ 
teresting reading for Members of Congress, 
who have under investigation grand

schemes for impounding and storing 
water for purposes of irrigation. To de¬ 
prive one section of its water supply in 
order to irrigate another, or to turn 
streams from their natural courses so as 
to injure the owners of properties along 
their lower levels may raise very serious 
questions of right and law.” 
Tobacco and Food.— The following re¬ 
sults from French experiments are com¬ 
mended to those who smoke where food is 
being served and prepared: “Some thin 
slices of beef were exposed for a consider¬ 
able time to the fumes of tobacco, and 
afterward offered to a dog which had been 
deprived of food for 12 hours. The dog, 
after smelling the meat, refused to eat it. 
Some of the meat was then cut into small 
pieces and concealed within bread. Thi§ 
the dog ate with avidity, but in 20 minutes 
commenced to display the most distressing 
symptoms, and soon died in great agony. 
All sorts of meat, both raw and cooked, 
some grilled, roasted and boiled, were ex¬ 
posed to tobacco smoke and then given to 
animals, and in all cases produced symp¬ 
toms of acute poisoning. Even the process 
of boiling could not extract from the meat 
the nicotine poison. Grease and similar 
substances have facilities of absorption 
in proportion with their fineness and fluid¬ 
ity. Fresh-killed meat is more readily im¬ 
pregnated, and stands in order of suscep¬ 
tibility as follows: Pork, veal, rabbit, 
poultry, beef, mutton, horse. The effect 
also varies considerably according to the 
quality of the tobacco. All these experi¬ 
ments (would seem to denote that great

care should be taken not to allow smoking 
where foods, especially moist foods, such 
as meats, fats and certain fruits, are ex¬ 
posed.” 
Persimmons, Mulberries and Papaws.— 
An Illinois fruit grower declines to make 
positive statements, yet writes: “For a 
year or two I have been gathering for test 
all of the praised varieties of our native 
persimmon, mulberry and papaw that I 
could find. Very few have fruited, but I 
hope to know more about them later on. 
I find more persimmons than I expected, 
and now have over 40 varieties—many sent 
under restriction. Named papaws and 
mulberries are scarce, but I am getting a 
few. It seems from reports that a two- 
inch persimmon is easily possible, a seven^ 
inch (long) papaw, and a 1 %-inch mul¬ 
berry, about the size of the largest of the 
fruits. But I hope to know more in a few. 
years. There is a vast difference in the 
quality of each of these fruits. Some per¬ 
simmons are always astringent, some are 
said to have the “flavor of dates,” “maple 
sugar,” etc. Some papaws have yellow 
custard flesh, some are white and sicken¬ 
ing. Some mulberries are delicious—some 
insipid.” 
Corn vs. Cob. —We find the following 
note in the Western Farmer: “The other 
day Prof. Burnett, formerly of the South 
Dakota Agricultural College, was talking 
seed corn to a farmers’ institute. To impress 
upon those present the importance of hav¬ 
ing the right kind of seed, he borrowed 
three medium-sized glass fruit jars from 
the hotel where we were stopping, and 
into these he shelled three ears of corn of 
the same length and size, putting the corn 
from each ear into its jar and its cob also 
into it as far as it would go. We helped 
shell the corn but could hardly believe our 
own eyes when results were shown. One 
of the jars was not quite one-third full of 
corn, another a little over one-half, and 
one was heaped up. As the cobs were 
pushed down to the bottom of the jars, the 
short-kerneled, large-cobbed ear had all 
the advantage of the large cob to help out 
its showing of corn. How evident this 
little object lesson made it, that one could 
easily double the yield of corn by using 
long-kerneled, small-cobbed seed in place 
of the bulky cobbed, short-kerneled kind 
so frequently found in western corn cribs. 
Corn is corn to so many farmers, but 
sometimes it isn’t—it is pretty nearly all 
cob.”
