Hints About Cul- Uvation of the Soil Yields Thereof—Horticulture, Viticulture and Floriculture. and More About Weeders. W. C. Latta) Agviculturist, Purdue University, Indisaa:—We have used a weeder four years in corn culture. Our plan has been to use the weeder the first and second cultivations and follow with the ordinary one-horse harrow after that. It has been used for other Purposes, I believe, at this station, but this is the extent of its use in this department. I will give below the re- sults of corn produced with different culture implements, including the weeder and harrow, that you may judge of the relative merits of the work of the weeder. The average for the past four years is as follows: Cultivator . Corn plow . Weeder and harrow.. -51.12 The first two or three times the plats were cultivated with the weeder and subsequently with a one-horse har- tow. * * * The weeder does excel- lent work if used after every rain on land that is not too firm a composi- tion. 49. -50.! aoa ef The following discussion took place at an Illinois institute: Q.—Which is the most effectve, the one-horse weeder or the two-horse? A.—The two-horse, where you have a good deal of land. The one-horse ma- chine covers eight feet, the two-horse fourteen feet. For an orchard about eight feet is big enough, but if you are going to use it in corn and want to cultivate forty acres you had better have two horses. Q.—Is it practicable to put it into corn? A.—Yes, for originally, corn and potatoes. tivate my strawberries with it. Q.—It will dig them right out, won’t it? A.—No. that. Q.—What will it do if the ground is baked? A.—You can’t use it at all then. It is like any other machine. It has its place. You cannot get a cultivator that will answer every purpose. Q.—I would like to know how that can go by the side of a corn stalk and take the weeds and leave the corn? A.—If you do it just right you can take even a garden rake and scratch right into your corn. The weeder teeth turn back, they do not slide in ahead like shovels, but turn back. I have used it three years. If you have pigeon grass that is well rooted you cannot take it out. In order to get the benefit of that machine you have got to use it before the weeds get much of a start. that is what it was made I cul- It is too light a machine for Training Grape Vines. E. G. Lodeman, Department of Agri- culture Report: Another system of post training differs radically from the one stated last week. Instead of being spurred or branched near the surface of the soil the stem is carried upward in a spiral to the top of the post, and the short arms, of which there are gen- erally two or more, are formed at the summit. The canes are cut back to the desired number of buds, and _ the shoots grow freely downward. This system, which is followed in some parts of western Michigan, really should be included in the third class, but as. it is commonly known as a va- riety of the post system it is here con- sidered with the others, Leaving these simple systems, in which the method of training presents no complicated features, a much more complex group will be considered. The shoots are still trained upward, but their position is, theoretically, deter- mined with almost mathematical pre- cision. The Horizontal Arm Spur, or Fuller, System—This system presents the above features in a particularly formal manner, and when the details of this method are carefully mastered the other methods present no special diffi- culties. It is not so fully discussed on account of its wide use (for, as a mat- ter of fact, the horizontal arm spur system is little in favor among vine- yardists) but rather because it offers an opportunity to show in an almost ideal marner most of the points which arise in connection with nearly all the other systems in this as well as in the other two groups. Its principal merit, there- fore, lies in its value for illustrative purposes. When a grapevine is first set in a vineyard it may be one or two years old, the former being preferable in the majority of cases. The cane is cut back to two buds, and during the first season its shoots are allowed to lie prone upon the surface of the soil. Assuming that all the pruning is done a short time before the arrival of the growing season, at the beginning of the second year the newiy-set vine will have a wellestablished root system and two canes of varying length. The weaker of these canes should now be *~emoved entirely and the other should be cut back, so that it remains about 18 inches in length. If cut in this man- ner the cane is sufficiently long to reach to the lowest wire when the trel- lis is made. By some, however, the eane is cut back again to two buds, as in the previous ye=r. This causes the stem to branch near the surface of the ground, instead of at the lowest wire. Either method may be followed to advantage, although single stems render cultivation more easy. This cane, whatever its length, is to form the stem of the vine, and as there are to be two arms, only two of the . ras strongest shoots need be retained after : the growths are sufficiently advanced for their comparative vigor to be seen. It is_better that all the other shoots be then removed, so that the two that are to remain may become the strong- - r.' But if the unnecessary growths are not removed until the following spring no material injury will be done to the vine. Artichokes. That artichokes are valuable is un- necessary to prove, the experience of generations having fully demonstrated that fact. Like all crops, whether or not it is to be cultivated depends on the incidental circumstances by which the farmer is affected. If a man is devoting his entire time to bee-keeping or to flower growing of course he will not find artichokes profitable. the farmer who is raising hogs the arti- choke may prove of great value. Artichokes need only common soil, and even do well on poor soil. They will stand more neglect than most crops and yet yield an annual crop. This makes them particularly valuable to farmers that have many hogs, much Jand and few hired men. In such cases the harvesting is done by the hogs themselves, thus saving the ex- pense of labor. When they are thus fed, being rooted out by the swine there will usually be enough tubers left in the ground to seed the whole area for the next year. Although artichokes will grow on poor land they do best on land that is rich, posure. The plant is very ‘hardy and will endure the cold of any part of the United States. Plow deep and har- row the ground. Probably it is better to plant the seed in hills, as the plants spread rapidly. Prepare the ground as for potatoes, planting the seed in a similar manner, the hills being about three feet apart. About three bushels of seed will be required to the acre, and the manner of cutting potatoes for planting will apply to the artichokes. Small ones are often planted whole. A potato planter may be used. They should be planted as early in the spring as the land can be worked. Blossoming usually takes place in August and from that time on till the end of the season the tubers are in- creasing in size and hardening, The stalks will have withered by the time the frost comes and the tubers are then ready to be dug. They can be dug the same as potatoes and stored the same way, but if possible, it will be found advantageous to allow the swine to begin operations as soon as the crop is ripe. As to seed there are many kinds rec- ommended by the seedsmen, among the most valuable of which are the French artichokes, Live Stock in the United States. The government report on the amount of live stock in the country Jan. 1 makes the hogs 39,750,000, a de- crease of 840,000; the milch cows, 15,- $40,000, a decrease for the year of 100,- 841; the oxen and other cattle, 29,264,- 000, a deerease of 1,244,000, and the sheep, 37,656,000, an increase of 838,- 000. 3 The hog supply is the smallest since 1881, when there were 36,227,603 re- ported, and 7,000,000 less than the year- ly average for the sixteen years since then. Not only that, but the number of hogs reported is 1,715,000 head less than the average for twenty-three years previous to this year. The num- ber of cattle is 9,000,000 less than six years ago. The number of cattle, hogs, and sheep reported by the government for a number of years past is as fol- lows: Jan. 1. Cattle. Hogs.

To the Farmers’ Review: Egg report for 1897: Number of hens, 90, roosters, 4; received during January, 150 eggs; February, 596; March, 1,121; April, 1, 454; May, 1,368; June, 1,309; July, 1,119; August, 1,058; September, 831; October, 880; November, 115; Decem.. ber, 2; total, 9,483 eggs. During December it was very cold, with deep snow on the ground all the month. In January, 1898, it grew warmer and the hens began laying again. During the month I received 145 eggs; in February, 631 eggs. We sold 4,906 eggs, amounting to $31.42. The rest of the eggs were used for hatching and family use. We raised 90 chickens. Sold'40 roosters and 46 hens and 30 young chickens for $11.85. At the end of the year we had 80 hens and 5 roosters. We have the Rose Comb Brown Leghorns and think them the best breed in the world for eggs, and ours are of good size, too. We feed a mash of ground feed and two quarts of mixed grain (barley, wheat and oats), in the morning, and two quarts of corn at night. I also supply them with fresh water, lime and but- termilk once a week. We also have a patch of bluegrass and clover near the poultry house which the hens are always picking at. They are allowed the run of the farm except on stormy days. I think I’ll stop for this time. VIOLET M, JENNY, Platte County, Neb. Board floors for the hennery best. are light and that has an open ex-, Horse Stables—Stalls and Floors. There is a great need of reform on the average American’s farm in the construction of the horse stables, the care bestowed upon them and the man- agement of the animals which they house, says Indiana Farmer. In many localities, east and west, little or no at- tention is given to sanitary conditions, and for the most. part they are unfit to be used for any purpose whatever, much less as the dwelling place of an anima so noble, intelligent and cleanly by nature, and so sensitive to all im- purities of air, food or water, as the horse. No heed is given to drainage, light or ventilation, and more often than otherwise the floors are uneven, full of holes, and are composed of ma- terial hard to keep clean even when there is a disposition and an_ effort + made in that direction; they emit an But to } unwholesome odor that is bad for the health of horses, and many stable ills are traceable thereto. Horse stables should never be placed underground, wholly or in part, for there is general- ly in such a location no sufficient means for light, ventilation and drainage; these defects very often cause great damage to the constitution and general welfare of animals that are obliged to constantly breathe the foul air insepar- able to such surroundings. Ventilation and light in the stable are as necessary to perfect health of the horse as proper food and exercise and in building stables this consideration should re- ceive attention foremost among other important things. Eight or nine feet from the floor to ceiling is little enough; 10 or 12 is better. The doors should be so placed that when open the air shall not be upon the horses, and a great advantage is found in hav- ing them in two sections horizontally in order to have the upper half to stand open in summer to admit fresh air. The windows, which should be large as in a modern dwelling house and as numerous in proportion to the size of the room, should be so placed as to al- low a free passage of air in warm weather, and if in front of the horses they must be shaded, as.the full glare of light from that direction is an in- jury to the eyes. They should also be situated high enough so as to allow the air to circulate over the horses’ backs. The stalls in most farm stables are too narrow, rarely ever being over five feet wide and very often less. Six feet wide is much better, more comfortable and safer for the horse. Ample room in the rear is also a convenience and safe- guard against dangers and mishaps that is too often entirely diregarded while planning for the accommodation and comfort of the horses in the stable. Fifteen to 17 feet from the head of the stall.to the back wall is none too long for an averaged size farm horse. We have all seen stalls that were so short, and some of us have had them in use, that when the horses were in their places scarce space enough behind them was allowed to walk and very often, to add to the discomfort and cramped condition of affairs, the harness hung upon pegs fixed in the rear wall, which may be a handy place for the purpose, but besides being in the way and often under the horses feet, the odor of a badly kept stable is a serious injury to the harness. Scientific Poultry Raising. Little has as yet been done for the poultry industry by our experiment stations or otherwise. Even private investigations have been of an imper- fect character, and many of the re- sults obtained have been very unsat- isfactory if not delusive. We have formed a great many opinions on our observations, but it will doubtless be found that both opinions and observa- tions have been wrong in many cases. Such has been the result in other line: of farm industry. We thought that we knew that in the milk of the dairy cow the food made the richness or the poorness. according to its quality, but we found that all of our observations in that matter were delusions. So it will doubtless be with the poultry facts (?) that we have secured. What what we need is extensive investiga. tions into the principles of poultry cul- ture. Both public and private atten- tion should be given to the matter. It may be that in time we will be able tc exterminate the roup and kindred dis- eases over wide areas of country. We may even be able to exterminate the louse of the chicken variety as thor- oughly as we have in many localities the louse that fastens on the human head. The Mares.—Probably few farmers can well change their stock of mares. at once, but those that have any at all fit for breeding should breed them to sires of families in which the quality of transmitting the strains that make them valuable is well established. The mares that are raised from such breed- ing will be a big improvement on their dams, and should themselves be bred to a sire of the same class as that to which the dam was bred. It is better to have only three or four good mares just enough to do the work of the farm, and breed them in this way,than to have a score producing colts by a nalf-bred stallion who transmits noth- ing with certainty other than shabby appearance and a general unfitness for any good purpose.—Ex, French Spinet.—The French have a way of fattening fowls that seems to be peculiar to that country. A huge spinet is built that revolves on one center. This spinet contains cages, in which are fowls, one in each cage. The fowl is kept in the dark and in si- Jence, being fed several times a day with soft food that is pumped down its throat. The fowl has nothing to do put eat and digest its food. In a few weeks it has become a most tooth- some morsel for the epicure. The spinet is merely the home for the fowls during fattening, and sometimes con- tains 600 fowls.

Raising Mushrooms, In France, where the nuritive and palatabie qualities of the mushroom are fully appreci- ated, large quantities are grown in private houses. It is strange that the cultivation of this excellent fungus has been so much neg- lected in other countries, especially when it is considered how easily it can be undertaken. Any family can have fresh mushrooms all the year around. All that is needed for the ini- tial equipment is placing in the kitchen or any- where around the house an o!d bureau or chest of drawers, which can be used as cultivating bed. Fill the drawers to the depth of six or eight inches with an intimate mixturé“of good rich soil and ol@, dry horse or cow dung in equal parts. Having done this procure from your seed dealer some fresh mushroom spawn (the French is the best) and insert it at vari- cus points on the surface of the soil. Sprinkle tae surface lightly with water and the he4s are ready. If the drawers close tightly in front the back of the stand should be removed and a curtain tacked up so as to shut out the light. In a few days the mushrooms will begin to show up plentifully, but it will be a fortnight before any fit to eat can pe gathered. The bed will last, with an occasional watering, for | many months and will furnish almost every day a good yield of champignons. His Idea of It.
