THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
SCIENCE FROM THE STATIONS. 
REVIEWS OF IMPORTANT BULLETINS. 
A Study of Waters for Irrigation. 
—Bulletin 29 of the Oklahoma Station 
(Stillwater) contains some interesting 
facts about irrigation waters and the 
best plan for using them. Western read¬ 
ers will, doubtless, be interested in these 
facts. 
Alfalfa. —Bulletin 39 of the Colorado 
Station contains a study of Alfalfa as 
compared with some other varieties of 
hay, and the result shows that Alfalfa 
is, certainly, one of the best of forage 
plants for the farmers of the Central 
West. 
Barley. —Bulletin 40 of the Colorado 
Station (Ft. Collins) discusses the value 
of barley as a stock food. As a whole, 
barley, as grown in Colorado, has a 
slightly higher feeding value than corn, 
and as it grows to better advantage in 
Colorado than Indian corn, the chances 
are that it may prove a valuable feeding 
crop in that State. 
Steer Feeding Experiments. —Bulle¬ 
tin 67 of the Kansas Station (Manhattan) 
gives a further account of Prof. George- 
son’s experiments to ascertain the com¬ 
parative value of corn and Kaffir corn 
for steer-feeding. Many interesting facts 
are brought out in this bulletin, and it 
is evident that Kaffir corn is just about 
as valuable as ordinary corn for feeding 
cattle. 
Composition of Full-Cream Cheese. 
—This bulletin is issued by the Pennsyl- 
nia State College, State College, Centre 
County, Pa. Some exhaustive studies 
into the manufacture and sale of cheese 
are recorded, and the conclusion is 
reached that, only rarely, will whole 
cream, containing three per cent or more 
of fat, yield cheese which, even in the 
cream state, will contain 32 per cent of 
fat. 
Agricultural Extension Work.— 
Bulletin 137 of the Cornell Station 
(Ithaca, N. Y.) contains a sketch of the 
origin and progress of this work. It ap¬ 
pears that, in 1893, several persons from 
Chautauqua County asked the Station to 
undertake experiment work in their 
vineyards. This experiment work was 
not undertaken, because of the lack of 
funds, but the Chautauqua people finally 
obtained, through their Assemblyman, 
S. F. Nixon, a public grant of $16,000, 
one-half of which was to be expended 
by Cornell in horticultural work in the 
Fifth Judicial District of New York 
State. It is stated that this is the only 
instance where a farming community 
has pushed such a movement through to 
a final passage. From this starting 
point, the work has branched out until 
now it is firmly on its feet. One part of 
this work consists in sending out what 
are known as Teachers’ Leaflets on 
Nature Study. No. 8, just at hand, 
describes the leaves and acorns of our 
common oaks. This bulletin of 12 pages, 
is really a small text-book, and is de¬ 
signed for the teacher in the rural school. 
It seems to us that this extension work 
is well worthy the attention of all 
country people, and we suggest that our 
readers send for these bulletins and put 
themselves in correspondence with Prof. 
L. H. Bailey, Ithaca, N. Y. 
Bulletin No. 47 of the Oregon Station 
at Corvallis, discusses the relative 
digestibility of bay made from clover and 
from Chess or Cheat. On the Pacific coast, 
a large proportion of the hay that is used 
is made from grain. The wheat, barley 
and oats are cut in the milk stage and 
cured like ordinary hay. In this part of 
the country, Chess has long been con¬ 
sidered a valuable hay plant, and this 
bulletin undertakes to show how it com¬ 
pares with clover for cattle feeding. 
At the commencement exercises of the 
Michigan Agricultural College last June, 
Prof. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell, delivered 
an address on The Agricultural Status, 
which has attracted a large amount of 
attention ; so much so, in fact, that the 
Department of Public Instruction has 
issued this address in pamphlet form. A 
good idea of the line taken by Prof. 
Bailey in this address may be learned 
from its concluding paragraph, which is 
as follows : 
We need not farmers so much as we need men. 
Educate liberally all men and women who are 
fitted to receive, and educate nature-ward all 
those who live in the country or who have rural 
tastes. Teach that all men, whatever their voca¬ 
tion, are what their intellectual and moral 
stature make them to be. Teach that our civil¬ 
ization is a self-supporting organism in which 
{Continued on next page.) 
The happiest 
moment in a wo¬ 
man’s life is when 
she feels for the 
first time the cling¬ 
ing caress of her 
own baby’s fin¬ 
gers. How many 
thousands of women 
miss this greatest, wo- 
manliest happiness, 
and live out dreary, 
babeless, loveless 
lives, because of ill- 
health. Every woman should realize the 
supreme importance of healthy vigor and 
strength of the organs distinctly feminine. 
Unless a woman is willing to be that least 
envied of her sex, a childless woman, she 
cannot afford to neglect this feature of her 
health. 
The best known and most successful med¬ 
icine for the cure of all diseases and weak- ; 
nesses of the female reproductive organs is 
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Hun¬ 
dreds of homes that for years remained . 
childless now ring with childish laughter as I 
a result of the beneficial effects of the “ Fa- ) 
vorite Prescription.” It is the preparation 
of an eminent and skillful specialist, Dr, 
R. V. Pierce. For years it has been used 
by Dr. Pierce in his daily practice in the 
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at 
Buffalo, N. Y., the greatest institution of 
the kind in the world. It has relieved thou¬ 
sands of women from suffering and pain and 
prepared thousands for the successful per- I 
formance of the duties of maternity. 
p 
W. R. Malcolm, of Knobel, Clay County, Ar¬ 
kansas, writes : “ Since I last wrote you we have 
had a baby girl born to us. My wife took your 
* Golden Medical Discovery * ana also your ‘ Fa¬ 
vorite Prescription ’ all during the expectant 
period and until confinement, and she had no 
trouble to mention. A stouter, heartier child 
was never born. Our child will be one year of 
age the 8th inst. and she has not been sick a 
day. Has not had so much as the colic. It is a 
fact, sir, and we have not had to be up with her 
as often as twice at night since her birth. My 
wife had not even a fever for the two or three 
days after the child was born, although the 
attending physician told us that such would be 
the case. Our neighbors remarked to me that 
they thought my wife the stoutest little woman 
they ever knew. We think our good health due 
to the use of your family medicines." 
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure consti¬ 
pation. Constipation is the cause of many 
diseases. Cure the cause and you core the 
disease. One “Pellet” is a gentle laxa¬ 
tive, and two a mild cathartic. Druggists 
•ell them. L

cream separator 
should he careful 
to see what he gets.

ments have both advanced.

time, and of very good ap¬ 
pearance, send to us for 
one of these Seth Thomas

your money back any time 
in a year, we’ll send it and
