Some Up-to-Date Hints “About Cultiva~ tion of the Soil and Yields Thereof— Horticulture, culture. Viticulture and Flori~ HE best mixture of grass seeds depends upon soil and cli- mate and the farm- ers’ needs, says Mirror and Farmer. More regard should also be paid to the succession of blooming of the different varieties that may be sown, though this point was long since em- phasized by Flint. Mr. F. Lamson Scribner, chief of the grass division of the department of agriculture and one of the best experts on grasses, in one of his admirable addresses made these very practical points: The best wild or native hay grasses are blue joint, fowl meadow grass, a species of Gly- ceria, and one of the Muhlenbergias or “drop seeds.” Thése are valuable in the order named, and often afford in our low-lying meadows a large bulk of native hay of excellent quality. Like other species of grasses, they re- spond readily to good treatment. Tim- othy, meadow fescue, orchard grass, rye grass and redtop are the chief and best known of the cultivated or S0- called “tame” grasses for the produc- tion of hay. In the markets timothy is the recognized standard »y which the value of other grasses is estimated. It is the farmers’ gold coin, although it does not appear to me to be equal in some respects to other varieties. Its clean appearance, even growth, fair productiveness, and easy propagation make it a favorite grass. The presence of meadow fescue indicates a good soil, and upon well-drained clayey land it is’one of the best grasses we-can culti- vate; it is alike good for hay and pas- turage. Where the soil is moist, but deep and strong, the large fescue (Fes- tuca arundinacea) .may be cultivated. It is one of the most productive of hay zrasses. Almost equally productive on soils suitable to it is orchard grass, and by many of our farmers this is re- garded as equal if not superior to tim- othy. It has a serious fault, however, of growing in bunches or tussocks. It 1s not a turf former, and when culti- vated the seed should be sown tu.ckly, and it is a good plano add some other species as a filler. This objectionable habit of orchard grass may be over- come in a measure by heavily rolling the fields in early spring. Were it not for this tussock-forming habit, .or- chard grass would make one of .the best of grasses for pastures, because of the early production of tender leaves. Rye grass, so popular in England, has never come into much favor here, .al- though it is usually recommended as an ingredient for mixtures designed for permanent pasture. On very rich soils, where the ground is fairly moist and the atmosphere humid, its produc- tiveness is very large. It will make a fair turf if well cared for, and may be used alone for lawns, but not in mixtures. Red top is one of the finest and best of our hay grasses, especially for low meadows, but is less ‘produc- tive than other sorts. The require- ments of a good hay grass are produc- tiveness, hardiness and adaptability to the soil. It must also be nutritious, rich in flesh-forming elements, and possessing little fiber, and must be palatable to stock. Our pasture grasses are more numerous than those which yield us hay. The most important kinds are meadow foxtail, Kentucky bluegrass, English bluegrass (Poa compressa), certain varieties of redtop and species o1 fescue, quite productive, and by many is very highly esteemed. It is recommended in all mixtures compounded for the production of con- tinuous herbage through the season. Kentucky bluegrass is. a good turf former and a good pasture grass where the land is rich, but does best upon strongly calcareous or limy soils. It is the grass which has made the pas- tures of portions of Kentucky and Tennessee so justly famous. English bluegrass is a better pasture grass for light sandy soil than Kentucky blue- grass. It will grow on soils so thin and poor that little else will grow. On good land its productivefiess is scarce- ly inferior to that .af Kentucky blue- grass, and it is equally tender and nu- tritious. It makes a very firm sod, and withstands the tramping of stock bet- ter than many other kinds. The cul- tivation of this’ grass in certain por- tions of Virginia has.changed poverty- stricken districts to areas of wealth and prosperity. This has been ef- fected by the cultivation of this Eng- lish bluegrass and the raising of dairy stock. Lowland pastures should al- ways contain redtop in some of its varieties. It makes the cleanest, nicest looking and sweetest turf of any grass I know. The fine-leafed varie- ties should be selected for cultivation in pastures. Meadow fescue is a valu- able pasture grass, as already inti- mated, where the soil is good; and on sandy soils red fescue is perhaps one of the best species we can eultivate, associating with it English bluegrass. Baumbach Strawberry Growing. J. $. Stiekney contributes te the or- gan of the Wisconsin Horticultural So- ciety the following paper: The very successful strawberry growing of Mr, Wm. von Baumbach thas caused much inquiry as’ to his methods. Being his near neighbor and passing his plantation almost daily, I am quite familiar with his methods, and with his consent will state a few of my impressions. I think the key- note to ali his success is persistent, thorough painstaking, to do everything in season and in the best possible man. { re ee i { ner, His soil is only fairly gooc, such as may be found on almost any quar- ter-section of average farm land—stiff clay subsvil, surface rather a heavy clay loam, originally covered with a heavy growth of Oak and Maple; a strong soil but not easy to manage. He uses manure from the city stables freely, but not excessively, twenty to twenty-five loads per acre once in three years. For these many years, more than three-fourths of all his planting has been six rows of Crescent to three rows of Wilson, and his faith today is stronger in these than any other; still he tries most of the newer kinds. Perhaps the most noticeable points of his management are: ist,’ early and careful planting on thoroughly prepared ground. 2d, frequeut, almost constant, culti- vation. Light, fine-toothed cultivators are run after every rain, and about every seven days whether it rains or not, with very frequent hoeing and weeding, until new runners cover the row space; later, the runners are clipped to 2 line by a cultivator with an axle and two revolving discs in front. All weeds die young. 3d, his treatment of pickers. He em- ploys only those of such age and re- sponsibility as he can trust with a six- teen quart case to pick and fill, with the bottom course of as good quality and as well filled as the top. Every family represented by these pickers re- ceives two quarts of berries each day for their own use, in addition to their regular pay. He is never troubled with strikes. 4th, he secures “top” prices and quick sales by filling every box heap- ing full. Nearly all his sales are to one commission house and it is very common in early morning to see five or ten retail grocer wagons stafiiding before that store waiting for his team to arrive. Half of his load, or more, does net reach the sidewalk, but goes directly to those wagons. He is an- noyed by other growers and dealers gathering his empty crates and re- filling them, so much so that he now does not stencil them. All these things are easy. Let us each try them one season. Perhaps we shall like them. Mr. von Baumbach is planning to keep debit and credit the coming season and, as far as practicable, a comparative tally with some of the later kinds, the result of which he will give us at the close of the season. Scrab Cow’ Soph stry. A correspondent in the Rural New Yorker makes a plea for what he calls the scrub cow by reason of the fact that she is a better mill for the consumption of roughage, and as at the present prices of butter it does not pay to feed grain. This sounds very nice, and doubtless there are many who sup- pose that it is true; but such reason- ing is at the most somewhat super- ficial. In the first place what is “roughage?” Webster does not recog- nize the word, so we may assume that it means the hay and coarse fodders on the farm. Now in the first place, we admit that a native cow may turn more of mouldy or weedy hay into but- ter than will a thoroughbred that has for gerenations been used to good feed. But if any man will deliberately pursue that line of dairy farming that calls for the raising of weedy hay, and the improper curing of good hay, then we may say Ephraim is wedded to his idols, let him alone. We all sometimes raise weedy hay, and at times get some of it improperly cured, but do not let us deliberately plan for such work. And even admitting that every year we must get some of our hay caught in too many rains there is no cow on earth, be she scrub or thoroughbrd, that will make the best butter out of poor feed. Let us see as to feeding grain or hay: A ton of timothy hay and a ton of bran contain as follows, in each 100 pounds: Protein. C-kydrates, Fat. Timothy hay .. 3.0 43.9 Bran ......-..-- 12.6 49.1 2.9 And while the bran contains four times as much protein or milk*making food, twice as much fat and slightly more carbohydrates as the hay, yet the price of the two is nearly the same. Does this look as if it did not pay to feed grain to cows? This is an ex- treme case to be sure, as timothy is the highest priced hay we have, yet it is often the case that food nutrients may be purchased cheaper in the form of grain than in hay or coarse fodder. The fact of the matter is that the low- er the price of butter the more need of the best cow, and the best-feed where- with to feed her. Clean the Separator. G. B. Lawson remarks in the Produce Review that all kinds of separators should be taken apart and cleaned out: the lower boxes and spindles and ball bearings should be wiped off clean, and if they have begun to get worn and rough they should be placed with new ones. Where the separators are run four or five hours every day, they should be cleaned out every two weeks or of- tener. By, ‘this the boxes will never heat, and Ege jur separators will run more smoothly and do closer, skimming. You cannot expect to do close: skimming un- less the separators run smoothly and at a high rate of speed, and keeping the bearings clean and well supplied with oil ‘is the main point in running them properly. I find that the wide web belts last longer than the round rope separator belts. I have had the rope belts break and give out in less than a week; and J have heard of two rope belts being broken in one day. The wide web belt has run on the separ- ators here for the last six months, and it looks as if it might last as much longer.

Cures Rheumatism, Kidney, Bladder Blood, Skin and Nervous Diseases— Big Hotel Has Been Erected and People Are Journeying There from All Over the Country to Bathe in the Mud. A deposit of most remarkable mud discovered in Indiana, has of recent years been attracting wide-spread at- tention. It is located at the Indiana Mineral Springs, Warren county, and has been formed by the action of the water from the famous Magno-Lithia springs. Through countless ages the foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill- side has annually fallen into a basin, and has been reduced by nature into a pure black earth unmixed with roots, stones or sand. The water from the big spring for thousands of years has been soaking this deposit and saturat- ing it with mineral salts, until now there is a layer of medicated mud abcut two acres in extent and from ten to twenty feet in thickness, The strange medicinal value of this peculiar, black, porous substance was accidentally discovered by an old sol- dier, Sam Story, who had brought rheumatism home from the war and suffered with it for years. He was at- tempting to dig a drainage ditch through the mud deposit, and after in- culging in this-useless experiment fdr a week or more, gave up the idea, bu meanwhile had been cured of his rheu- matism. The fame of the mud began to spread and afflicted congregated at the Springs from everywhere. The method of us- ing the mud was at first very primi- tive, the patient merely sitting dow: in the deposit where nature had laid it. But since then improvements have been made, a beautiful hotel erected and the mud bath developed into a luxurious experience. The accompany- ing cut shows how it’s done. Re ~4 Mepno-l se After all, Nature is the greatest of all chemists, and seems here to have prepared in a gigantic receptacle an enormous mass-of medicine for poultic- ing sore humanity. When all else had failed, Nature’s treatment, the Magno. Mud cure, as it is now called, has in hundreds of cases brought back health and happiness.

Lindsay Coleman, ex-president of the National Cycle Board of 4 ade, and pre lent of the Western Wheel Works, in ppeening on the cut in bicycles, says: ut in the price of $100° wheels nas counted nosurprise. We expressed the opinion five years ago that other makers would fully realize their error in endeav- oring to maintain a fictitious value on their product, and that the prices we had cents would become the standard price for other high grade wheels. “One of the secrets of the success of the Western Wheel Works is, that we not only guarantee our wheels, but we guaran- tee our prices as well, and the purchaser of a Crescent in Febrvary has the satissac- tion of knowing that his neighbor who purchased a Crescent in July paid the same price as he did. “Ido not anticipate that a still further reduction in the price of bicycles will be made this year.” A humming bird a little larger than a house fly is common in the East Iridies.
