Applying stable Manure.

In the application of stable manure,
says a writer in the Rural New Yorker,
have practice consider particularly
good. In preparing the ground, pillow
as soon as the previous crop-mostly
.ats-is removed. The surface is lev
eled and the manure is put on, and all
after working is done with disk har-
row. The wheat is put in with drill
with teeth well staggered to prevent
dragging the manure. In eight trials
of this method the yield of wheat has
fallen below thirty bushels per acre
only once; while once it reached thirty
seven bushels and the grass stand has
always been perfect. A strip through
field that got double, but not heavy
coat of manure was close blue grass
sod the second summer after wheat.
This year a field of alsike clover was
admired by all who saw it. A field that
has been moved four seasons has yielded
nearly twice as much hay as an adjoin-
Ing ono equal in every respect except
in regard to the preparation of the
ground and the position of the manure.

that goes winding all over creation

perhaps it could be done at very little

FARM AND GARDEN.
INSECTICIDES.

Something About Thor Value and the
Best Means of Applying.
The Western Rural gives the various
insecticides in use and recommended
more or less earnestly. The Michigan
experiment station is responsible for
the estimates of value that are given to
the insecticides named. 1t has issued
bulletin in which it gives its estimate
of the arsenites, carbolized plaster, kerr
osene emulsion, buhach or pyrethrum,
kerosene ointment and carbolic acid
emulsion. Pref. Cook says that as
London purple is much cheaper than
Paris green, costing only fifteen cents
per pound, and is just as effective in
practical use, il should always be used
when it can be had, unless on very ten
der foliage, like that of the peach, when
only Paris green should be made use of.
1t is still question if the arsenites
should be used on the peach. London
purple may be used either dry, mixed
with land plsster-one pound of the
poison to eighty or one hundred of the
plaster-or mixed with water-one
pound to two hundred gallons of water.
1t is not the strength of mixture, but
the force and thoroughness with which
1t is applied that secures success. The
water mixture, which will usually be
most satisfactory, should be kept we'll
stirred, that the heavy mineral poison
mav not settle; should never be applied
to fruit trees till the blossoms fall from
the trees.
1t should be applied to the apple trees
but once, except in case of very heavy
rains, when it should DO repeated two
Or three weeks after the first applica-
tion; should be used two or three times
st intervals Of ten days or two weeks
on the plumG, and after every heavy
rain; may be used to defend against the
potato beetle, and all leaf or bud heating
insects that defoliate our fruit trees
early in the season, and on our shade
trees for such insects at any time.
Force pumps are excellent to apply the
water mixture to potato vines and to
fruit and shade trees. BY use of a bar
rel or tank mounted high on wagon,
we can treat potato vines and low
shrubs, etc, by aid of gravity very east
ty and cheaply. 1t is too bad that our
fruit trees are so high that we can not
treat them in the same way. In the
apple orchard the use of London pur-
pie is so valuable that no one can afford
to neglect its practice. Used just after
the blossoms of the latest blooming
varieties, like tho Northern Spy, have
fallen, this substance destroys the cod
ling moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm
and several minute leaf rollers: all of
which are serious pests, and often do
great damage. Here, then, is case
where the orchardists can kill several
birds with single stone.

SWEET POTATOES,
When to Dig and Best Method of Put
ting Away for the Winter.

When to Dig and Best Method of Put
ting Away for the Winter.
Never wait to dig until frost has Bit
ten the vines. A potato that is we'll
matured and dug before frost will, il
given ordinary care, keep equal to corn.
l have often sold old potatoes in July,
and frequently throw away in October
(when cleaning out the CELLAR potatoes
as sound as are the new ones l am
about to put up. | know that many
farming frien1 Is will say-at least they
do in this section-that 'they are SO
pushed with gathering cotton they
have no time to dig before FROST" but
l find it takes me no longer to dig
potatoes before frost and save them,
than 1t does to dig them after and risk
losing them. Save what you make. Ii
possible, dig in dry time, sort Out
carefully all bruised or cut ones for i'm.
mediate use, or for the hogs and COWS,
putting the sound ones in good-sized
heaps in the patch where they were
grown, letting air and sunshine to them
freely for several days before banking
them for the winter; covering them
with the vines at night to keep of the
dew or light frosts.
Do not let them take a rain. They
should DO banked before heavy frosts
come. In handling them use boxes,
never baskets, which peel them up bad
ly. In banking well-matured potato
all that is necessary to preserve them
till potatoes come in again, is to keep
them clear of frost, rain, rogues and
moisture rising from below: to cover
them very lightly until they have gone
through their sweat, putting on more
cover as the weather grows colder. As
litter to put next to them, use what
ever comes handiest-hay, straw, fodder,
cornStalks or potato vines, about six
inches deep all over them. On top OF
this, by the time severe cold weather
sets in, put a sufficient amount of dry
earth effectually to exclude all frost. A
bundle of fodder on end and on top of
the heap, butt end down, extending
from the potatoes to the external air, is
sufficient vcntilator.-G. II. Turner, in

CHICKEN COOP.

in the illustration, by cutting board
about twenty inches long for the back
of the coop and two small pieces to tack
laths on to the front part. Have the
upper section of the back of the coop
fastened with leather hinges, so that it
may be opened at pleasure. Every one
has old barrels which are almost value
less, and the trouble and expense of
making coop of this description is so
small, that it is not worth mentioning,
while to buy the material and make a

one dollar Home and Farm.
