A TRANSFORMED FARM.
Ten years ago Professor Cyril G
Hopkins, the soil chemist «ml expert of
tho lillmds Agricultural college, set
about to And the poorest «nd most run
down farm In twenty eountlea In the
southern part of Ills state, where a ma
jority of the fanners had been skin
ning their land for years. He paid $20
fs-r acre for a 300 acre farm dubbed
"Poorland Farm," which *»»« known
for counties around as the |«oorent and
most run down agricultural proposition
In the state Those who knew the farm
laughed In their sleeves when Profes
sor llopktns tiought it. while the owner
thought he had allp|>ed a good one over
on th«- “lead pencil*’ farmer. The first
thing the new proprietor did was to
make a chemical analysis of the »oil
from the different fields. He found It
«adly deficient In phosphorus and more
or less sour He divided the farm into
six fields of forty acres each and
adopted a six year rotation of corn,
oats and cowfieas, wheat and thr«*e
years of m«*ndow and pasture In tlm
othy and clover. The soil was plowed
deeply and carefully and all available
«traw and manure returned to the land.
The past seaaon the poorest tract of
the entire farm yielded 1.320 bushel“
of wheat, or an average of nearly thir
ty-five busheia per acre. The treat
ment which waa given this and the
>ther forties was one ton of ground
rock phosphate per acre applied the
two year» when the tract waa In corn,
while during the years of 1904 and
1906 two tons of limestone were applied
to each acre, while on the tract in
question two tons more of limestone
|>er acre were applied In 1912 Just tie
fore the land was plowed for wheat.
The coat of two tous of limestone
waa 12 25 delivered at the railroad sta
tion. the raw rock phosphate cost on
the average ««(.75 per ton. while the
cost of hntiling each ton of material to
the farm was M cents This made the
average annual cost of phosphate and
limestone «1.75 per acre. To determine
even more definitely the effect of the
application of the mil. -rals to the land
a three acre strip along one side of
this forty was given the same manure
and rotation as the forty, but to one
half of It no phosphate was applied
and no llme»tone until the fall of 1912.
One ami one half acre» with farm ma
nure alone produced eleven and one-
half bushels of wheat per acre. A
similar tract that had received farm
manure and one application of ground
limestone yielded fifteen bushels per
acre, while thirty-six acre« of land
that had been given the »nine manure
ns the smaller tracts and two applica
tions of ground limestone nnd two ap
plications of finely ground rock phos
phate produced thirty-five nnd one half
bushels per acre.
It is Professor
Hopkins' Judgment in view of his own
exi«erlments that all that is required
to restore a run down farm is lime t"
sweeten It. rock phosphate to restore
the supply of phosphorus exhausted,
the growing of clover nnd alfalfa and
the conservation of all straw nnd ma
nure produced on the place. Owners
of run down farms might with profit
make careful note of the methods used
In the transformation of this farm.
A NEW EGG CASE.

An Oregon Inventor has tackled the
proposition of devising n method of
packing eggs for shipment that will re

niold«*d pulp I mmih I are us«sl for this
purjs’se. each sheet having holes even

fit tlrmly over an egg a short distance
from the end. When packed each egg
projects slightly through two adjacent
sheets, the spacing of the holes being
such ttint no two s-ggs are In contact
A case of eggs packed with handmade
sheets of this description was loaded
over the rear axle of an express wagon,
hauled rapidly over a rough plank log
glug road and dumped on the station
platform as n package of unbreakable
merchandise would he. Only one egg
out of the fiAty dozen which the case
contained was broken, nnd It is
claimed that thia was the result of an
