Some Up-to-Date Hints About Cul- tivation of the Soll and Yields Thereof—Horticulture; Viticulture and Floriculture. Soluble Salts in Alkali Sotls. The electrical method of salt deter- mination in soils has been used in the exploration and investigation of the alkali soils of the Yellowstone Valley made by the department of agricul- ture. An examination was first made of the general conditions in the valley and then a very minute study of a sec- tion of land which was just being ruined by the rise of alkali. This ex- amination amounted to an under- ground survey of the field, and maps have been made showing the distribu- tion of alkali at different depths. A great number of borings were made to a depth of 10 or 15 feet, and salt de- terminations were made in every 6 inches or each foot in depth, Accurate maps have been made showing the amount and distribution of the alkali at several of these depths. It was found that in the original prairie soil above the ditch there is not sufficient alkali to be injurious to vegetation. The amount of alkali was greater in the lower depths of the subsoil. As a rule, water is used in excess on all of these lands under irrigation, and to such an extent that it accumulates in the subsoil. When the depth to standing water is not more than 2 feet from the surface, alfalfa turns yellow and dies out. In all cases the first injury was from the accumulation of water from excessive applications through irrigation. Where this water remains for some time in the subsoil the alkali leaches down through seep- age from higher lands, and is brought up from the subsoil and accumumates at the surface in quantities sufficient to prevent the growth of cultivated plants. This underground survey of the alkali lands has given the most | important information in regard to amount and distribution of the soluble salts and the way in which they ac- cumulate in certain localities through overirrigation. Strawberry Cultivation, Few growers of berries are aware of the importance of using only select plants to obtain the best results in raising a fine quality and large quan- tity of fine fruit, writes H. Gugal in Colman’s Rural World. I think there are few growers of berries but what will admit that the best markets are easily glutted with inferior fruit; while there never yet was a market over- supplied with choice fruit. In order to avoid overstocking or glutting the markets, during the berry season, we must confine ourselves to smaller acre- age, and a better quality of fruit, espe- cially when it can be done at a very little extra cost. One acre well prepared and well Planted with select plants, and well cultivated during the growing season, will produce as much fruit and of finer quality, as four or five acres in the old way of full-matted rows and alley plants. Then, when it comes to pick- ing, they can be found without using spectacles—every berry will be a ber- ry, and no make believes. In order to grow fine berries, a liberal applica- tion of fertilizer is necessary to pro- duce the best results, as fertilizer—es- pecially barn-yard manure—improves both quality and quantity. In order to grow fine berries it 1s necessary to be- gin the preparation of the soil the year before. I plow under a good clover sod, upon which has been broadcasted barnyard manure at the rate of at least twenty-five loads to the acre, Pulver- ize well and plant to potatoes, culti- vate thoroughly, and allow no weeds to ripen seed. Then, when the pota- toes are dry, sow to rye, if possible. During the winter give another ap- plication of manure, and about March 15th turn rye under and manure, Fol- low turn plow with subsoiler wherever possible Gr necessary; then roll land, followed by a good harrow, and if ne- cessary roll and harrow a second time. The land should then be in a fine condition to receive plants, but under no circumstances should the ground be worked while wet or sticky. As to va- rieties, the finest that has been grown successfully in your vicinity, should be selected. For hill system set plants fifteen inches in row, and from twenty- four to thirty inches between rows, for half-matted rows, plant eighteen inches in row, and thirty-six to forty inches between rows. Axle Grease and Orchard Trees. At the last meeting of the Central Il- lNnois Horticultural Society the fol- lowing discussion took place: Q.—Is there any simple and success- ful way to prevent rabbits from de- stroying the orchard trees H. M. Dunlap.—I have for 15 years used on my commercial orchard Fraz- er’s Axle Grease, and it has been very effective in keeping the rabbits from gnawing the trees. I put it on in ,No- vember and December. I apply it with a brush, something as one would whitewash, but putting on a very thin coating. I have never had my trees when so treated injured by the rabbits, i: If a man has only a small home or- Official Tests at the World’s Columbian Expo- sition apd the California it to be the highest in leavening power, purity and wholesomeness, and to have the best keeping quali- ties of any baking powder made. They proved it to be : Powder ia ali the World.” “The F.remost Brk Midwinter Fair showed ' chard he might use rags, as has been suggested by some one, but if his time is worth anything and if he has a large commercial orchard, he would do bet- ter to buy axle grease. I do not know that any kind of axle grease will hurt a tree, but it might be that some would. Perhaps all would be equally safe and effective. Some people use crude petroleum. but I consider that dangerous to the trees, or at least fear to use it. Some say that if there is corn in the field the rabbits will not trouble the trees, but I have had my trees gnawed in October when there was a good supply of corn in the fields. Mr, Augustine.—I want to warn the men that put veneering on the trees and bind it on with wires, that they remove the wires when they do the veneering. If the wires are not re- moved, as the trees grow the wires will cut into them and it will ultimate- ly result in the death of the trees. I have about 15,000 or more trees and I am protecting them with a good qual- ity ef sheeting. I tear it in strips about four inches wide and wind it around the trees, taking it off in the spring. Cockle. Herewith we illustrate cockle, one of our most troublesome weeds. This is an annual and very smooth throughout. It branches freely and grows to the height of one to two feet. The opposite leaves grow to- gether at the base, varying in form from oblong in the lower to ovate in the upper. The flowers are pink and are arranged in open cymes; that is, one in each fork on the branches. The way to get rid of the pest, after it has put in an appearance, is to cultivate thoroughly. If the land be devoted to hoed crops this will be easy, as the eockle cannot stand cultivation. When wheat or other grain is sown care should be taken that it contains no cockle seed. The cockle becomes a great pest only on land where it is neglected. Morelos Orange Fruit Worm. Careful investigation of the so- called Morelos orange fruit worm, a species which it is feared may be acci- dentally introduced into the orange groves of California and Florida, has been made by the Department of Agri- culture. The distribution of this in- sect in Mexico was unknown even ta Mexicans, and the fears of this coun- try were considered by the Mexicans to be largely imaginary. This season’s investigations, however, prove that this destructive fruit worm is distrib- uted throughout all of Mexico east of the Sierra Madre mountains, and that it may at any time be introduced into California in early fall oranges im- ported from that region. Farm Managers Wanted.—The editor of this paper receives a great many letters each year from wealthy gentle- men who own extensive farms and herds of dairy cattle, asking if we can recommend to them a man who is com- petent as a farm manager. Almost al- ways we have to confess that we know of none. The demand is great, but alas, the supply is very limited. Why is this? We believe-it is because of the following reasons: Too few farmer’s boys are educated for that purpose. Where does the blame lie? First, with the farmers themselves. They will edu- cate a boy to be a lawyer or doctor or banker. They know that in these lines he must have a well stored and well trained mind. But they spend scarce- ly anything on the boy who wants to make a bright farmer of himself. Next, the boys themselves have a foolish no- tion that there is more for them in this life if they are lawyers or professional men of some sort. If we had been asked to furnish lawyers or doctors we could have shipped every inquirer a carload apiece. This is all wrong.— Hoard’s Dairyman. Soil Aeration.—By this term we mean the entrance of air into the soil, and its consequent effect. This is close- ly connected with the benefits accru- ing from an increase of depth. In many of our subsoils there is a quan- tity of inert plant food which is of no use unless it has been decomposed by the action of the air. When the air is admitted to the soil gradually from the surface and also from the drains direct, the oxygen of the air, in con- nection with moisture and heat, cause a chemical change to take place in all vegetable matter not well decomposed and fitted for plant food, and renders the soil richer as well as deep.—C. G. Elliott, Drainage Engineer. Winter Grown,Pie Plant.—Growing pie plant in winter has passed the ex- perimental stage and become a profit- able industry. Thousands of dollars are paid the gardeners each winter for the product, which is bought at high prices, both for home consumption and for shipment. Any cellar or outbuild- ing which can be made absolutely frost proof and light proof will answer the purpose. There is no objection to the house cellar, as no manure and very little water are required, so no odor or dampness will arise. The labor of growing is so little and the profits so large that the most greedy ought to pe satisfied with the results.—Ex, Two or three-year-old turkeys are petter for breeding stock than young pirds.
