P. { H. Gregory in the Farm and Fireside. Our present rotation is two years in | potatoes and two in strawberries, and the yield increases each year. The second crop of potatoes is al- ways dug and disposed of about the 1st of July, when prices are good. Theun the ground is prepared for straw- berries and the plants set out at once. ‘We are always able to get sufficient growth for a full crop the next year when plants are set at this time. We cultivate once a week until frost comes and kills the weeds. Just before cold weather we mulch this patch with cornstalks. the refuse part of shredded fodder and a good deal of manure. The mulch is made four or five inches deep, which effectually prevents heav- ing. The plants start to grow as soon as a few warm days come, and the heavy part of the mulch is then raked off the row. Some of the mulch is left between the rows to help keep the weeds down until the berry crop is harvested. Some time after the crop is cared for, and just before the weeds go to seed we drive in with the mower and mow weeds, vines, and all close. to the ground. When this cutting is perfectly dry a match is applied, and the patch is burned off clean. Then the berry vines are cultivated until frost and kept trimmed back to a dense row abotit a foot wide. Two crops of berries are taken off. The ground is mulched heavily each winter and burned over each summer. The heavy mulch is good for the ground, as are also the two coats of manure. the trash help to balance up the ferti- lizer so that this ground is never want- ing in the necessary plant food. We then proceed to crop this piece in potatoes for two years, sowing wheat, rye or rape for winter chicken pasture and for making a green growth to plow under before planting potatoes in the spring. Our fifty hens usually take care of the green stuff so that there is never enough left to choke the plow. We usually get forty bushels of pota- toes off this one-eighth acre patch, Hauling Stock Made Easy. The accompanying illustration shows a hog k devised by an ingenious Ilinois farmer and in successful use on his big farm. After several years’ experience with it he maintains it is the best thing of its kind he ever sasw. It simply is a big hog crate built on a flat rack. The framework is laid out exactly like a bayrack and the floor laid level on top of bolsters. The pic- ture shows how the crate or rack was built on this floor. There are two partitions with hinged gates. This admits hauling several dif- ferent classes of hogs and also pre- vents the animals from piling up on each other in transit, a difficulty so fre- quently encountered and sometimes a source of loss. You can put on as many hogs as you can haul. There is no danger nor particular difficulty. The ordinary loading chute is used.—Farm and Home. The Wild Onion. If grass lands are quite full of the wild onion the easiest way of dispos- ing of them is the cultivation method. In fields where there are only a few plants the most feasible method is to dig the plants or clumps with a mat- tock. Four thimblefuls of coal tar creo- sote oil put on a plant will kill the un- germinated bulbs. Still, the mattock method is best, as one well directed stroke when the soil is moist and soft will take out the entire clump by the roots. These should be carried off where they can give no further trouble. It is then a good plan to fill the hole with soil and sprinkle a little grass seed on the surface. Sheep eat the tops of ‘the onion, and’ grazing for’' a few .yearsis reported as an efficient remedy for' the pest. ‘Sheep apparently eat ‘the onion most during the winter and early 'spring, when there is liftle other green vegetation, or in poor pastures where there is little to eat but the onion. On the better 'pasturés it may be neces- sary to salt-the onions occasionally to glve the sheep a ‘taste for ‘them’ suffi- Lelent to overcome their natural dislike. DOOOPOPPOOOOOOOOGO o 5 © SUNSHINE A GERMICIDE. @ Sunshine is an amazingly po- tent germicide for the farm housekeéper and in the dairy and stables. The practice of exposing cooking and other utensils used in connection with food to direct sunlight makes use of this fact, although comparatively few ap- preciate exactly the work done by the sun in this regard. Prob- ably only those who are ac- quainted with tests which have actually been made realize how quickly sunshine kills disease germs exposed to it. ez R R XR R Pioneer want ads bring results. | The ashes made by burning |” i LIST Your city property with Glayton C.
