How to Treat Land That Cannot He Cul.
tivated to Advantage.

tivAted to Advantage.
The poor field is always the most
neglected because it will not produce as
much as one that is more fertile, the
farmer preferring to place his manure
on land from which he can secure more
direct and remunerative results, the
consequence being that one portion of
the farm becomes capable Of producing
all kinds of crops while the other por-
ton in time is abandoned as unprofita-
BILE. If such condition of affairs COM
PEELED the farmer to concentrate his
efforts on small area he would be
profted by the change, but the cultiva-
ton of less land is intended to improve
the whole instead of only portion. No
piece of land on farm should be al
lowed to deteriorate in fertility, no
matter what the system of cultivation
may be, for the concentration of the
labor and fertilizers on one portion does
not prevent the other portion from be-
ing improved.
Abandoned fields are those that are
allowed to recuperate by following.
which system is simply to leave the
land to gain fertility from the nitrogen
brought down by the rains or by the
scant heritage that thrives on poor
soils. Following was once a favoripe
method in former years. especial.
ly with those owning large
farms, for which no manure could
be provided except for only a small
portion; but with innovations on the
methods of improving lands, following
has been superseded by green manures,
the farmer preferrlng to grow some
crop at small expense, to be plowed
under, a system which, in the course OF
two or three seasons, greatly adds to
the fertility of the soil, not only from
the nitrogen added by the rains and
stored in the plants, but also by that
brought to the surface from the sub
soil through the agency of the roots.
A field that cannot be cultivated with
advantage should, first of all, receive a
dressing of lime, or, what is better.
wood ashes. If necessary commercial
fertilizers-those that will restore to
the soil the elements most needed
should be used, and the lane be gotten
in condition for grass. A WORKOUT
field will not produce crop of grass,
but with the aid of fertilizers and a
green manurial crop it may be gotten
in condition for grass in two or three
seasons. Once in grass it will be ben.
Gifted naturally by the crop itself,
when the field may then be brought
into the line of rotation with the fields
that have been under regular cultiva'
ton. In some cases lime alone will
enable field to gain in fertility, and i,
is the cheapest method to pursue The
old maxim-''put your manure on the
poorest land'-is an excellent one, bu
small field well titled and manuret
will always give the best results
though no part of the farm should be
allowed to lose fertility. Philadelphia

KEROSENE OINTMENT.
A simple Way Of Kidding All Kinds Of
Poultry Of Lice.

A Simple Way of Kidding All Kinds of
Poultry OF Lice.
Poultry keepers frequently recon-
mend kerosene ointment. AS many
readers do not know just what kerr
osene ointment is, we give the fol-
lowing from a report of the Michigan
state board of agriculture:
Kerosene ointment may be made by
simply mixing kerosene and lard or,
better, kerosene and sulphur This
ointment is excellent to rid poultry of
lice. 1t should be kept in closed can
in q poultry house, and in the summer
the roost poles should often be rubbed
with the ointment An old rubber or
leather glove makes this an easy and
not unpleasant task. After the poul-
try are on the roosts, some of this
ointment should be placed under the
, wings, about the breast and legs, once
in four or five weeks in the late sum-
mer.
If, in addition to this, we frequently
spray the house and yard when the
fowls are out with diluted crude car
ibolic acid, and whitewash the house
once a year, we shall not only have a
neat house but healthy birds, if the
Others requisites are provided. Chick.
ems ought to be very profitable adjunct
to every farm, snd will be ii the above
suggestions are carried out and the
birds well housed and fed.

may be of common 4-inch drain tile.
The fireplace for making smoke should
be at least 20 feet from the smoke

The Fall web-Morm Enemy.

Insect Life gives an account of new
web-worm enemy, the Plochionus tint
dus, which has no common name Tho
larvae of this insect were found in the
webs feeding on web-worms, and from
2to 20 were found in each web. BY July
/ the web-worms had entirely disap.
peared The same state of affairs was
observed with the second brood which
began to appear about July %
Shortly after this the adult forms OF
P'ochioass made their appearance in
the webs, laid their small white eggs
in large numbers, from which the
Larvae soon Matched and began feeding
upon the web-worms. Thirty-tw
eggs were found in portion of the
web covering single mulberry leaf.
The Larvae reached full growth in 16
days, and remained in the pupa state
from to IL days AS far as observed,
the whole life cycle of these insects
was spent in the web or upon the trees
