Valuable Points Given By State Col- lege Professer. Further_suggestions by A. T. Stev- ens of the Connecticut’ Agricuitural Collsge regarding ‘héme gardens fol low: : Cucumbers and Musk Melons—The housewife :would not consider the gar- en complete without cucumbers, and the boys and giris' want some musk melons. These should be in a row not less than four feet Away from uther plants, and some desire five feet. They may be in hills éxé or 5x5 or the row may be continuous with .one plant in a place about every two feet. These are warm weather plants. 1t you are go Jocated as to have cold nights come early in September - or even the latier part of August, it would be weil to start your melon strawberry, boyes. Filling. about:full of finely. rotted man- ure and then the balance with rich sandy garden soil, plant three or four seeds.in the center of ‘each.box. For home use a half dosen hills should be enough. Some variety like Paul Rose; Emerald Gem, Tip Top. or Extra Early Osage can be used. These boxes pat into a cold frame about Aprii 20 to 25, will give plants for setting ia the s0il about June 1. Do not disturb the roots in_shifting to the.field, but cut down the corners of the boxes, and clide off into.holes which have been prepared. The cucumbers.need not be started in this way, for they mature more quickly. Good pickles have been pro- duced Dby planting the last week in June. If vou should want some for AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS .sbout every. one and one-half f slicing, two varleties should be- used one. of the ‘large growing kinds like Davis Perfect or Long Green for the slicing and.then some of .the pickling. varieties ilke Boston Pickling, Chicago Pickling or Snows Pickling. The last are much more prolific than the larger kinds and give more eatis- factory pickles. - Two or three hills of the large variety should be plenty for an ordinary family and this wiil leave room in the row for six hills of the smaller kinds. We' then have in the row, if planted in squares 4xi—six hills of musk melons, three of slicing, and six of pickling ‘cucumbers. If a role is made about eight inches square and a foot deep where each hills is to be, and this filled about two-thirds full of ‘partly rotted manure, packing the work will be well repaid. to0, may need some of the Pyrox dusting for blight. Look out for -the striped cucumber beetle, and _keept nim off, if possible. Screen frames can be put over the plants and this will help to keep the bug off and in & measure prevent wilt. Squashes and Pumpkins—A few summer squash: help out the midsum- mer meal wonderfully. Two.or three hills of these will be sufficient. Dig 2 hole about two feet square and ene and one-half deep. -Fill this - with Coarse, strawy, horse manure to with- in six inches of the surface;.then pack down well. Fill the hele to level full of the good surface soil. On - these hilis piant four:or five seeds of either Karly Summer Crook Neck or Early Yellow or White Bush Scaliop. The number of fruits one will ob- tain in_this way will be & eurpri Keep watch that the -hills do not dry out: if the season should be dry some artificial watering will- be hecessary. These three can be in the row with Winter Squash and ‘Pumpkins, al- though they do mot require so much room as the Iast twe; four feet apart in the row, which we may make four feet from the cucumber row. Then the squash and pumpkins can be grewn eight fest apart but keep the vines laid around, so that on the. cu- cumber side they ‘do not crowd too much. Por the Winter Squash, the Green Hubbard is probably as good as any, and for the pumpkins the Winter Luxury or Sugar are good. The for- mer, is no doubt, ihe better keeper. Sweet Corn—Our garden as planned will leave room for two rows of sweet corn across the garden. The first THw, nowever, can be only two or three feet from the squashes and pumpkins, but the corn will not-be affected ma- terially by the vines running over into cultivation will probably. ccase be- fore they interfere. One.row of sweet corn might be half and half,—early White Cob Cory and Golden Bantam. The last row could be of some later variety like Concord, Metropolitan, Country Gen- tieman, or Early Bvergreen. These fill 21l the spaces in this gar- den, and we have planted no spinach. This might be put in, in several places as it is planted early and is out of the way sooner. Thus, for instance._it would not interfere materially if sof in the rows where the corn is to Fe planted. If not ‘all out by time to plant the corn, just cut out places t and plant in the corn.

SUCCESSFUL INCUBATION: No Secret If There Is a Goed Equip- ment and Attention Is Paid to De- tails, If we attempt o take lessons from | the old hen it would perhaps seem that we ought to air egss in the incu- bator each dav, but the hen's primary object. in leaving tae nest is to get 00d and not on account of the cggs. Experiments show ue.that airing egss tends to siow down the life activity in the eggs, but does not add anything of value to the devoloping embryo. 1t is well to test eggs as soon as the embryo can be distinguished. This ‘means in about five davs with white eggs and seven days with brown oggs. All_clear eggs and those with bloed rings may Dbe taken out. The second lest may be made on the feurteenth day to remove all dead germs. The moisture problem in incubatien s a hard nut to_ crack. Incubaters provided with sand trays usually take care of themselves. Where incubators without moisture pans are operated in a dry atmosphers moisture can be most easily added by placing a sponge in a smail dish of water in one corner of the eg tray. The higher up in the incubator the moisture is placed the greater the heat will be, consequently evaporation will be mere rapid. A sponge aids evaporation by increasing the radiating surface. If the size of the air cell is used as an indication of the moisture in the egs, the eges may De compared with those Incubated under hens the eame length of time. Eggs should shrink in weight about 13 or_14 per cent. during jncubation. When the first eggs begin to pip, the incubator shouid be left alone . umtil the hatch is over. The temperature may run-up a litile, but, unless the chickens begin to-plant, it will do no harm. An incubator should always be kept dark while the chicks are hatch. ing. Chicks need to lie down and- rest after the exertion of kicKing out of the shell and this they will not do if they can see davlight Bacillary white diarrhea spreads very rapidily from Chick to chick by their Pioking. up. tne fected droppings in the incubator. This may be larzely avnided by dark- ress. Chicks are better if kept in the incubator at least 36 hours after the hatch is over or until they are well aired off:and begin to. get hungry. After the eg tray has been removed, a little’ fresh air may be admitted by leaving the door open about the width of a match. There is no secret.to successful in- cubator:- it simply requires good equip- ment and careful attention to_details. —Roy. E.

Many Wil use stadle manure, and if plowed will re- sult probably ‘with little trouble in 3eveloping scab.

This in- Jury will lessen the vitality and wiff Dresent . excellent opportunities for blight to enter the plant tissues. Spraying with bordeaux-is the only temedy that is satisfactory to prevent the ravages of the beetle and the de- struction of the blight. This year bordeaux lead is prebably the - mos: economica! sprayins material that is available. Seven to eight pounds *io 50 gallons of water.are recommerded. This will prevent the blight largely. and since it contains arsenate of lead the poison for the leaf-eating insects. it willi not be necessary to use par:s green. The Jatter ' washes off easily and is very liable to burn the follage. This spraying should be repeated ev- ory” two weeks throughout the sea- =on. SEED OATS EARLY. Results at various experiment sta- tions have shown that the earlier oats arc seeded the iarger the vierd will Dbe and the less will:be: the * possi- Dility of attack from various diseases. Every farmer should make an effort to met his seed treated with formalde- hyde to prevent oat smut from de- stroying the grain and get his soil in proper-condition to.seed down im- mediately. Dus to" the shortage .of grains, it will probably be 2 wis olicy” for every farmer to raise his cats for seed. ratber than to cut them | for hay. 1f this is carried out, care ehould be taken not to rob the grass plants of ‘ excessive amount. of mois- tore. It is a’ common practice to seed with three bushels of oats _per acre when seeding with grass. - Frequent- Iy the resuits- are that whereas. o good crop of oats may be obtained 2 satisfactory stand "of clovtr is not therefore for the benefit of both the lighter eeeding in suing two busheis of oats per acre is recommended. SPRAYING NOW FOR PEACH LEAF CURL Orchardists who have been troubled with peach leaf curi and are anxious to free themseives from this disease for the coming year should start their campaign immediately. The fungus which causes the diseases lives over winter on the surface of the branches and twigs and-should be eliminated be- fore the. tips show green in the spring because as soon as the leaf buds open this’ disease works its way into the tender foliage and the damagze is done. Tt is too late to attempt any controi measures after the buds have stari®® to grow. A lime’ sulphur solution of winter sirength is the best means of combat- ifg this disease. One gallon of the lime sulphur solution and nine gallon¢ of water gives the proper mixture. Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 may be used in piace of the lime sulphur but since the latter also comtrols the San Jose scale. it is preferred. In spraving for this disease, great care must be taken that every part of the tree be wet aown. The peach leaf curl is injurious be- cause of its effect on tne foliage di ing the summer. The leaves first curl and become thick and crinkled. turn t0 a bright red or yeliow and fall from the tree. Often times the,affected tree locses ‘all its foliage by midsum- mer and_is weakened by growing new leaves. The twigs aiso are affecied by the fungus. They become sweiled and misshapen at the tips and later die off —Connectlcut Agricultural College. VARIETY OF SOY BEANS FOR CONNECTICUT.

This plact food which is used for top dressing purposes is usually very solu- ble and with a wet seagon it is likely %o be lost if the plants do not take it up immediately.
