blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blo'od, which
are carried through the circulation to
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated
and the sharp, piercing pains or the
physical movement. When the blood

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Valuable Information to Paeifio North
1 west Ir.qjirers.
By Professor Elliott. Waahinstoa State Collate.
Fullnian.
Pullman, April 25 This week the
Washington State College experiment
station received the following inquiry
from W. L. B., who resides in Seattle:
"I wish some practical suggestions
from you relative to the best grasses
or grains to sow on 'upland' in Kitsap
County, on sandy loam, which dries out
too early in dry seasons to produce most
crops. After having been cleared off,
this land was allowed to grow up with
young fir and ferns. Sowing rye in the
fall, and plowing tbe rye under in the
spring to plant potatoes has been rec
ommended to me, but to far as I know
little experimenting has been done in
Kitsap County on upland soil. There
art beds of muck near the land. Would
It be advisable to pile and dry this muck
and later use it as a dressing lor straw
berry plants, small fruits, aud in start
ing apple trees I"
Professor Elliott replied: "I believe
that the best grass for the region you
mtnion is orchard grass, although
have found Italian rye grass doing quite
well. The land is much benefited by
the application of land plaster, or gyp
sum. I doubt very much if you eouid
use muck as a fertilizer, unless it was
worked over quite thoroughly before
usinar. Most muck sous are n a con
dition that we call inert; tbat is, toey
are dead so far as practical crop-grow
ing is eoncersed, and need first to be
acted upon by the weather and sunshine
and bacteria, which are efficient in re-
aeeuiiuif laud, juuch of iu l&sd IS
Kitsap County, as well as swamp lands.
are ia this eondition. You will find the
application of barnyard manure very
beneficial also, but 1 believe tbe best
way is to treat the land with lime and
land plaster; thsn follow with elover
d such ether srops as stay be de
sired."
A. Q. T., residing near Cove, Wash
wrltet: "Can you give me any infor
mation as to whether chicken manure is
toe strong, and will thus burn and in
jure strawberry plants, if put directly
on the erowa of the plant t In this re
gion very little livestock is kept, so
that manure for fertilizing purposes is
rather scarce.
"Another point I wish to bring up is
the care of a eow before calving, where
milk fever is suspected. I lost one
good animal from milk fever last fall
and do not wish to take any more
chances, if I can help it."
The station replied: "In using chicken
manure as a fertilizer it is better to
apply it in liquid form. This form of
fertilizer is very high in its nitrogen
content, and also contains a consider
able quantity of potash. Put the ma
nure in a barrel or trough, then throw
water on it, later applying the liquid
to the ground about the plants. Do not
touch the plants with the liquid. This
would give you better results than if
used in the dry form.
"As a preventive of milk fever, we
advise a reduction in the amount of
grain feed, and an increase in food of
a succulent nature. Boots, grasses, or
silage would all be good, but too much
grain food might induce milk fever.
Ton had better make a study of the
means of ehecking milk fever by the in
jection of oxygea with a small syringe."
"Dodder is destroying my elover,"
writes J. O. C, from Rochester. "How
may I cheek it I"
Professor Elliott replied: "Dodder
it usually planted with elover, and after
becoming established in the soil, fat
tens its tendrils to the elover, or other
plants which may be growing. Finally
! it loses its attachment to the plant,
i and becomes a true, parasitie plant. It
taps the life of the 'host plant' upon
which it lives, and if it becomes very
I strong in its growth, will eventually
; destroy the host. To eontrol it, cut
; out the patches of clover where it ap
; pears, early in the season, before it has
formed teed. Sake this cut clover up,
1 and burn it before it becomes dry. By
' this means the seed is prevented from
seeding, and as the plant itself it de
stroyed, there is little probability of the
dodded growing the following season."
E. E. S., of Walla Walla, wants to
know how to kill the "morning-glory
weed." He was informed that:
"The extermination of this weed is
the hardest 'weed problem' that the ex
periment station hat faced. Tbe plant
is one of the most difficult weeds to
kill, but its redeeming feature is that
it does not" spread rapidly. It stays
where it gets its first start. Smother
ing by heavy applications of straw, or
nanure, is a fairly successful method,
but outting it off only makes it grow
more rapidly. It is probable that a
tutting before the application of the
mulch would he advantageous." . '
Milo M. Hastings, physiological
ehemitt of Christian 't School of Ap
plied Food Chemistry, of New York
City, writes at follows:
"I am collaborating with Professor
Suzuki, of the Agriculture Department
of Japan, with the view of furthering
the introduction of the soy bean into
this country. I 'wish to obtain the
most reliable and latest data at to the
results thus far obtained ia toy bean
culture in the States. Will you refer
the following questions to the member
of your staff who is best potted upon
this topic I
"(1) Have toy beans been grown at
the Washington station or by the farm
ers of the ttatef (2) If to, with what
success! (3) What do you estimate
the cost of production per bushel (4)
To what uses have the beans been put,
and with what success 1 (5) Do you
know of any invsstigationt that have
been made in this eountry on tbe sub
ject of soy bean products at human
foods!
This inquiry wat referred to Professor
Elliott, who replied:
1. We have experimented with any
beans for about twelve years at thl
Pullman station, and have also experi
mented with the soy bean at our state
station, located on the western slope of
the Cascade Bange, near Puyallup.
2 3. We have not been able to ma
ture them sufficiently at this station to
justiry ineir oeing considered aa n
profitable crop. At the Puyallup sta
tion we have had better success. Our
experiments have been tried only on
the plot scale, hence we have no data
regarding the cost of production.
4. We have used these beans as
forage, and also have made an effort to
se them for grain feed for swine, with
only moderate success; and (5) I do not
think any experiments have been made
looking to their use at food for the
human race."
WHIT AILS THE MILKf
Also a Sure Test for Tuberculosa
In the Cow.
By Dr. K. W. Stouder, Assistant Professor f Sur-
g-erp, Washington Agricultural college.
Will you tell me what is the matter
with milk when it turns thick and
slimy, resembling a mixture of hot
water and starch," writes A. H-, from
Chelan Falls. "Whenever my cow
misses being milked, her milk for sev
eral days thereafter has this appear
ance. It tastes all right, but to me it
seems queer that milk should aet tbit
way. Also, tell me how to find out if
an animal has tuberculosis."
Dr. K. W. Stouder, assistant pro
fessor of surgery, replied: "The coagu
lation of tbe milk you refer to is no
doubt due to a slight inflammation of
the ud3cr, due to the retention of trie
milk too long, coupled with tome bac
teriological change in tbe milk, the lat
ter possibly being due to an infection
passing inrougo toe mil uuci vi m
teat. The mirk might, or might not, be
wholesome, depending upon the organ
ism causing the eoagulation. Senti
ment, however, would revert against
the use of tuch milk.
In erdtr to test an animal for tu
berculosis, we use a biological product,
or toxine, known as tuberculin. This
mutt be injected. by an experienced op
erator, hypodermieally, and a careful
record kept of the temperature for sev
eral hours both before and after the in
jection. The test is very reliable, but
in order to perform it, a person mutt
have had specific instruction, as well at
some experience in its application."
KOREA WAKING, UP.
Begins to Realize the Importance of
Maintaining Forest Area.
Korea, the Hermet Kingdom, it wak
ing up to the necessity of protecting itt
remaining forettt and replanting de
nuded tracts on important watersheds.
Japan it furnishing the inspiration and
part of the -money which will produce
the change from the old order of things
to the new. A school for training
Korean forestert hat already been put
in operation.
Tbe two government! drew up a co
operative agreement latt spring and
outlined a plan for the wise use of tho
forests in the Yalu and Tumen Valleys,
and at a result a national forest policy
for Korea hat - been developed. The
new Korean forest laws are similar to
thote of Japan, according to United
States Consul-General Thomas Salo
mons, ef Seoul.
Although Korean forests have beea
exploited and neglected, and the coun
try has suffered severely from drouth,
floods and erosion, the denudation is
less ttrious than in neighboring prov
inces -of China. One ef tbe first meas
ures to be taken up will be the preser
vation of such wooded tracts at yet re
main. In order to do thit, the govern
ment hat taken all forettt under itt
care, whether they are publicly or pri
vately owned. The owners will not be
deprived of their property without com
pensation, but the government will reg
ulate the cutting of timber, and in cer
tain eases may prohibit all cutting on
tracts which ought to remain timbered
"to prevent floods, drouths, landslides,
and to preserve unimpaired the scenic
attractiveness of places of public re
sort." All owners of timberland and
all leaseholders are required to report
to the government their holdings in or
der that the property may be listed and
cared for. Failure to report within s
year subjects the forest to forfeiture.
The forested area of Korea is about
2,500,000 acret, which is only one-tenth
of the land on which forests ought to
be growing. - Extensive timbered tracts
remain in the northern part of the coun
try on the waters of the Yalu and Tu
men Rivers, and lumber operations are
carried on in the mountain districts.
But in the agricultural sections of the
country wood is very scarco, and the
fuel problem is serious. Coal and other
mines have been opened by Americans,
and one of the most pressing needs is
timber for use in and about the mines.
In that country, at elsewhere, large
quantities of timber are necessary in
developing mining property, and it is
noteworthy that a eountry as backward
industrially as Korea can put into prac
tice the principle tbat the only sure
way of getting timber is to grow it.
