FARM AND GARDEN.
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.

Ehis Is Good Advice for Any Season. But
Should Be Especially Needed Now.
The prospective shortage of feed rem
ders it extremely desirable that no
product of the field he this fall allowed
to go to waste. In some sections Of the
farther West where corn and corn-fod-
der have of late years been so plentiful
as TO engender the most extravaganza
systems of management there will
doubtless be required the exercise Of
the highest wisdom and economy to
enable the stock-grower to carry his an
imals properly through the winter
months. The advisability of construct
ing silos for the better preservation of
all the nutritive matter of the drouth-
stricken corn is being seriously consid-
cred in some sections where an appeal
to such methods has heretofore not been
deemed within the range of possible
necessity; and while there will perhaps
be much difference of opinion as to the
real value of some of these more mod
ern innovations in Western farm man
agement, there can be no doubt that the
stern school of adversely through which
many farmers are now passing is bound
to enforce some lessons of economy in
relation to the outstanding of all food
products which would be brought home
in no other way.
1t may almost be said of our West
ern forage crops we have each year
either a feast or famine. When the
fields yield up their riches with a
prodigality scarcely known to any other
land, and granaries groan beneath their
overlooking loads, there is enough nu-
tritive substance lost through sheer
Indifference to tide US through these
oft-recurring seasons of partial or total
failure. But people are not apt to profit
by such experiences. Now that the
shoe has begun to pinch severely many
bewail the lack of foresight which led
them to rely too implicitly upon what
Dame Nature might have in store for
1890, but the extremes of climate to
which we are at all times subject
should by this time be we'll enough un-
derstood to induce more conservative
practices Those who have not studied
how to save when they were blessed
with an embarrassment of grain and
feed are not in very good position to
manage most judiciously in times Of
need. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
heavy rains may yet result in so gen.
erous a growth of autumn vegetation
as to provide in every locality an abun-
dance of that which for want of bet.
ter term we call ''roughness." This
secured, the conceded shortage of corn
and oats will not entail that degree OF
suffering and loss which must inevit-
ably follow, in some localities. if there
is a continuance of dry weather.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

DON'T like fruit culture, some may
say, because it is too ''puttering," as
one writer puts it. Look here, friend,
some of the brainiest men in the world
find that there is enough dignity in the
business to engage their attention.
CAN boiling water be used as rem
edy for the currant worm? asks corre-
spondent. We have seen it stated that
jarring the bushes, thus dislodging the
worms, and pouring hot water on them
on the ground is good remedy. We
again recommend white hellebore.
IT has not been long since some
OF our now most common fruits were
regarded as luxury. The demand for
them now is as for a necessity. This
is a hopeful sign. 1t indicates some
thing of prosperity for the fruit-grower
and good deal better health for the
consumer.
EVERY farmer who is the father Of
children should consider it neighborly
act to grow fruit for these children. for
you may be sure, that if the fathsr does
not do that, and his neighbor grows
fruit, the children will satisfy their
cravings at the expense Of their neigh.

gard the mounds as built for their own
young trees were girdled and the in
tended orchard destroyed. Compact,
smoothly-beaten mounds would have
saved the trees.
The same treatment may be applied
to nursery trees received from a dis
lance and heeled-in for spring setting.
AS the work is often done, the heeling-
in places the trees in great
danger, and we have some times
seen them girdled by the dozen and
upwards, by not filling in the
earth compactly in all the crevices. and
in not encircling the place which re-
ceived them with smooth sloping earth,
up which the mice refuse to ascend.
Fig. 2 represents such trees properly
taken care of and free from the danger
of mice; the mound of earth which sur
rounds the trees should be smooth and
compact on all sides.
Young orchards several years old and
firmly rooted and stiffened are some
times in danger of being girdled by mice
if standing near grass boundaries, or if
grass or weeds have been allowed par
ti.l possession. A neighbor has set out
a thousand pear trees, and they had
already begun vigorous growth. A
three-inch snow in March enabled the
mice to girdle the whole of them, which
he assured US he could have prevented
by earth mounds. He saved them all,
however, by bridging the girdled por-
lions with connecting twigs.

purposes already mentioned. If the
trees were small or like whips, these
mounds, if beaten smooth and compact
ly, would render useful assistance,
which would be still better if solid
round piece of turf capped the mound,
as represented in Fig. l. Their height
should be about ten inches, and they
could be leveled down in spring.
But the mounds may be carelessly or
imperfectly made, and do more harm
than good. An acquaintance set out a
large, young orchard. There being
some grass in the field, he attempted
to save the trees from the mice by
means of earth mounds about the base
of the stems. The earth was thrown
around them with the spade in sods
and chunks, between which there were
crevices large enough for the mice to
enter, or, if not large enough they
gnawed their way through the pieces Of
turf. These animals appeared to re-

ENEMIES OF THE POTATO.
They Are Many and One of the Worst II
Man HimSelf,

They Are Many and One of the Worst IL
Man Himself.
One could almost say that man is one
of the worst enemies of the potato. il
we may judge from the manner in which
he sometimes neglects one of his best
of vegetable friends. While it requires
a warm, rich soil, he gives it water
soaked clay bed, aud when the feeble
agement is given them to struggle
against the weeds that threaten to
choke cut the last spark OF life.
Many insects prey upon the narcotic
heritage of the potato, the most de-
structive of which is the Colorado beetle.
But with this we'll under subsection by
q fully understood plan of applying
London purple or Paris green, there re-
mains now only to develop the methods
of overcoming the blights and rots, tho
worst of which is the so-called wet rot.
This is due to the growth of a low form
of vegetation closely related to the mill
dew of the grape. 1t first appears on
the leaves as frosty patches, and from
there it grows down the stems, and
finally its slender threads reach the
tubers, causing them to rot.
From the fact that the leaves are first
attacked, and the rot works down the
stems to the potatoes. it is evident that
when the leaves and stems are dying
pren,aturely the tubers should be dug
at once. Let the potatoes dry thorough
1y in the field after digging, and store
only the sound ones in dry place with
a good circulation of air. Avoid damp,
poorly ventilated room. The vines and
all decayed tubers left in the field should
be burned.
AS preventive measures at planting
time it may be suggested that second
crop should not be grown where the pre-
vious crop failed from the rot. The seed
should be free from the trouble, and
therefore only sound potatoes are suita-
BILE for planting. Early varieties,
planted early, are most apt to escape,
for the rot does not get started usually
until midsummer. Experience has dem
onstrated that it is best to hill the po-
tatoes somewhat at the last blowing, as
many germs of the disease fall from the
leaves and are washed down to the tu-
bers with the rains.-American Agri-
culturiSt.

METHOD OF PROTECTING CULVEKTS.
The danger may be greatly obviated by
following the plan herewith illustrated.
1t consists simply in setting stout post
from two to four feet from the entrance
to the bridge, on The upstream side.
All driftwood and fiotsam, instead Of
floating down against the walls Of the
bridge, lodge against the post in mid
stream. Even should the space be.
tween the post and abutments on both
sides be filled with rubbish the mouth
of the bridge will remain unobstructed,
and the water will flow through, under
and over the obstruction with perfect
freedom.
