I QUESTION8 AftD AN8WER8. Valutbla Information lo Pao.flo North west Irqjlrers. If ProfMMr Klllott. Wuhfnctoa RUU 0Ut: Pullman. I'ullman, April 25k Thl week the Watbington Htate College experiment tatlon received the following inquiry from W. L. It., who retldet In Hiattle: "I with torn practical luggottlon from you relative to the best gratiet or grain to tow on 'upland' In Kitiap County, on tandy loam, which drlet out too early In dry ttatont to produce mott cropt. After having beta cleared off, thlt land wat allowed to grow up with young fir and ferot. Bowing xya in the fall, and plowing the rye under In th pring to plsnt potatott bat been rec ommtndtd to me, but to far at I know little experimenting hat been don in Kitiap County on upland toil. There ar beds of mack nttr the land. Would it be advisable to pile and dry this mock and later use It a a drttting lor straw berry plantt, tmall fruit, and in start ing apple trc-etf" Frofrstor Klllott replied; "I believe that th best gran for the region yon rnenlon It orchard gratt, although I have found Italian rye grtti doing quite well. Th land I much benefited by the application of land platter, or gyp turn. I doubt ytij much if on could use muck a a fertiliser, unlet It wot worked over quite thoroughly before uting, Mott muck tollt are In a con dition that we call inert: that it, they are dad to far at practical crop-growing it concerned, and need firtt to be acted upon by the weather and luntblne and bacteria, whieb are filrient in re deeming land. Much of the land In Kitup Caunty, t wall as swamp lands, ar in thlt condition. You will And the application of barnyard manure rtry beneficial alto, but I believe the bett way It to treat the land with lime and land platttr; thtn follow with clover and tucb othtr tropt at may be d ilred." A. O. T., retlding ntar Cove, Waih., writ at: "Can you give me any infor mation at to whttbtr cbltkea manure is too strong, and will thut burn and In jnre atrawborr plant, If put directly on the crown of the plant! In thl re gion rny little livestock it kept, to that manure for fertilising purpote i rather learc. "Another point I with te bring up 1 the care or a cow berore calving, where milk fever U Mtpeeted. I lott one good animal from milk fevtr last fall, and do not with to take any mora chaneet, If I can help it." The station repllrl: "la using chicken manure a a rertllixer It I better to apply It in liquid form. Tbii form of fertiliter I very high la it nitrogen content, and alao contain a eontidtr able quantity of potash. Pot the ma. nure in a barrel or troogb, thtn throw water on it, later applying the liquid to the ground about the plant. Do not touch the plants with th liquid. This would give you better rmolts than if used In the dry form. "A a preventive of milk ttrtr. we advise a rednction In the amount of grain feed, and an increase In food of a succulent nature. Boot, grastet, or tllage would all be good, bat too much grain food might indue milk fever. You had better make a itady of th mean of cheeking milk fever by the in jection of oxygen with a tmall iringe." "Dodder is deatroying my clover," write J O, C. from Kochetter. "How may I check it!" Profeuor Klllott replied "Dodder I utually planted with clover, and after becoming established in the toil, fat tens its tendrils to th clover, or other rlants which may be growing. Finally t lose it attachment to the plant, and become a true, parasitic plsnt. It saps the life of the 'hott plant' upon which It Ilvet, and ir it becomes very strong in itt growth, will eventually destroy the hott. To control it, cut nut the patches of elover where it ap pear, early In the season, before it ha formed eed. Bake thl cut elover on, and burn it before it become dry. Ily thi mean the seed is prevented from seeding, and aa th plant itself I de stroyed, there I little probability of the dndded growing the following season." E. K. 8., of Walla Walla, wants to know how to kill th "morning-glory weed." He was informed that: "Th extermination of this weed is the hardest 'weed problem thai the ex nerimenl station hat faced The plsnt it one of the most difficult weedt to kill, but Hi redeeming feature it that It doei not tpread rapidly. It ttay where it gelt lit firtt tlart. Smother Ing by heavy applications of at raw, or nanur. la a fairly auceetiful method, but cutting it oft" only maket it grow more rapidly. It it probable that a rutting before the application of the mulch would be advantageous." 1 Miln M. Hsstings, physiological j in that country, as elsewhere, largo ehemisl of Christian's School of Ap quantities of timbtr ar nrcessarr in plied Food Chemistry, of New York 1 developing mining property, and U is City, writes as follows: noteworthy that a country as backward "I am collaborating with Professor industrially as Korea can put into prae Sunikl, of the Agriculture Department tic the principle thnt the only sure or .in pun, with the view or runnering the introduction of the soy bean Into thlt country.

"Whenever my cow mitiee being milked, her milk for sev eral dayt thereafter has this appear- ance. It tattes all right, but to me it teems queer that milk should act this way. Alto, tell me how to find oat If an animal haa tuberculosis." Dr. K.
