Buckwheat should be grown ‘n larger quantity this vear in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, mountain se: New England, and in the ions of Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and Tenneseee, where it is known to De a safe crop. It should be sown on land where other crops have failed and on old meadow and pasture lands where the yields of hay and grass promise to be small. This is the advice given by the United States Department of Agriculture to farmers in all states named, but especially to cee in New York and Pennsylvania, ere about two-thirds of the buck- wheat crop of the country is now grown. In. the more northern states, buckwheat can. be sown almost any- where without reference to elevation but farther eouth it is best adapted to the uplands and mountainous sec- tions. Buckwheat should be sown on land prepared as for corn. It is an gxcel- lent' crop to sow where corn or'some othe: has been planted but tand has not been secured. ts are obtained where the land pared. but good is plowed early and is well pre- results can be ob- tained ‘by sowing immediately after plowing and harrowing. Buckwheat is valuable ax a_human food. It is also an excellent feed for poultry. The middlings remaining as a by-product after milling are, on ac- count of their high protein content. a valuable feed for dairy cows.

Watch vour step!—G. C. White, Dalry Department, Connecticut Agricultural College WILL FORMALIN RETAIN ITS STRENGTH INDEFINITELY? Will foralin retain its etrength in: definitely” This is the question which many potato growers have been ask- ing lately. Dr. C. A. Peters of the de- partment of chemistry at Maesachu- setis agricultural college, in answer to 2 request for information from tbe Hampden county improvement leagus savs: “A formalin solution already diluted for potato treatment will mot loge its strength if kept indefinitely. A strong solution, so called 40 per cent. really never over 35 or 56 per cent. should, in my opinion. be kept corked, but I do not think its strength would change much in a few daye or even weeks. Tf you wers suspicious you AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS could increase the strength by using 10. per. cent more formalin without doing damage?” Some people say for- malin and corrosive sublimate gradu- ally lose strensth as successive bazs jof potatoes are immersed in them. The loss of strength, presumably due to absorption of the beg, is real, but slight and negligible. FERTILIZERS ESSENTIAL. Advice for the Amateyr Who Is Plant- ing a Garden. Amateur gardeners may be of the impression that it is posstble to grow g00d crops on land. without the ap- plication of fertilizer, especlally in newly-plowed land.. Such is:not . the case, however, and if any plots have been planted without ‘the application of “fertilizer, it is very essential, that proper amounts be broadcasted over the lands. It does not - necessarily follow that new land dontaine a large amount of plant food because in many cases it has been depleted in these elements which make it all the more necessary for fertilizer to be added. It is a- preferable practice to broad- cast the fertilizer when . moderate amounts. are 'being -used. When strong applications are being made it would be advisable -to broadcast bal to two-thirds before planting. and- after the seeds come up scatter the rematning fertilizer. alongside of the rows. This ‘will .give. the plants added strength and wilj make for betier utility of the plant.food ap- pHed. KEEPING SOIL. FERTILE. Persons should pay more attention to the maintenance of the organic contents of solls. Organic matter plays an important part in soil fertility. The decaying of this organic matter lib- erates large ouantities of available plant food. The food of mitrifying bactarla makes large quantities of ni- trates available for the plants, and the s0il becomes porous, absorbing and retaining more water. H Solis which have been cultivated for several years without the addition . of | organic atter in some form are rap- | {idiy becoming deficient in this mate- The Iose is more rapid in warm. dry regions than in humid sectlons, and also greater in continuous grain- farming than where a rotation which contains a grass is practiced. Chemical ~ determinations of = solls cultivated to wheat for thirty vears show that the cultivated soils have | Ioet 30.5 per cent of their nitrogen and 345 per cent of their organic matter Many other determinations show that the cultivated fislds have lost 48.5 per cent of their nitrogen and 513 per cent of their organic matter. Thess are not exceptionai cases, but two in- stances of what is happening whers the same crops are grown continuous- 1y, The - question which immediately arises is. How are we to incresse the organic comtent.of our eolls? . Manw | methods have been suggested, but ail of them have mot proved satisfactors. The use of greem-manure crops, 2p- plication of straw and other crop res- idue, and application of manure are methods used in various sections of the country. At various times 1t has been sug- gested that green manure, such == cow peas. sweet clover, or rve be plowed under to increese the organic content of the.soll. Such 2 practice has its place in agriculture, but it is not well adapted ta all sections of the country because these plants use large quantities of water in their develop- ment. SWEET CORN FOR FEEDING. In past years we have had some ex- | perience in growing sweet corn for forage purposes, the resuliz of these experiments beins mostly with hogs, writes Danle] Prowant in Farm and Fireside. The resnlts of: our experi- been such that T do.not hesitate to enca with sweet corn far hoss has been such that T do not hesitate to recommend an acre or two of sweet corn_to anyone who. expects to have 2 number of hogs to fatten during early autumn before the common fleld vari- sties are fit to feed and who will have no_cold corn with which to feed them. 1 bave found that sweet corn is rather richer in feeding valus than It s 2 ‘anyhow, and it ' corn may be ‘Also, these 4 .2 fair-sized ear which pays for’ the room they take up.. > WEANING PIGS, J 5 B 4 g .

The milk should be fed in the same ocondition at . all times—elther sweet or; sour—otherwise ‘the digestive sys- tem will be Impaired. -Usually the. pigs are large and thrifty enough to wean at the age of six to eight weeks. They should have access to green forage, such as aifal- fi, rape, clover, or sorghum, at all times, The feeding trough should al- ways be kept clean. Care’ should be taken that ths pige are not overfed. ~Overfeeding causes feverish conditions and will stunt the growth of the.pige. GREEN FOOD FOR CHICKS. It is necessary to give growing chicks green food of some kind in or- der to obtain the maximum growth which is eo essential in chick raising. For the poultry raiser who has plen- ty of land free range wiil eupply the necessary green food more economi- cally than it can be secured in any other way. -Where the range is lim- ited or when the. poultryman desires to hateh chicks very early it becomes pecessary to supply -in soms -other form the required amount of green food. This may involve some ex- pense, nevertheless - the careful man- ager will provide some sort of green feod for his growing chicke The green food which the poulitry- man will feed fo his early hatched chicks will depend tomewhat - upon the amount of time, equipmient, and number of chicks he has. Among the many green foods which are good -for the growing chicks may be mentioned swiss chard, rape. iet- tuce, cabbage, kale, mangeis, sprouted ocats, alfalfs, clover. and beet Duip. The last three mentioned can be pur- chased in drv form and then can be! soaked and used as a succulent food. | Which one of the others to use will depend upon the conditions. For the man who raises 500 chicks or more time and equipment necessary for | raising lettuce, kaie, or sprouted oats is too great, and therefore it cannot be done economical Of all_the green or succulent food for chicks perhaps mangels are the best, because they can be raised the year before and stored and when wanted can be cut up or siiced in two and hung up on nails around the house, thus glving their succulent food, by _constantly picking at the mangels. While the chicks are very younz. mangels may be used to advantage by cutting them | up in very smail pieces; thus they can learn to like .them and will eat more of_them later on. 1 For late hatched chicks green food | can_be nupplied by giving them free range in pastures or'in lots that have been sown to clover. oats, rve. or wheat—D.
