Ginseng Culture,

Ginseng is largely exported from the
United States to China, where it is held in
high esteem as a curative agent, says a
writer in the Commercial Gazette. 1t
grows wild in our country from Canada to
the southern states, and west to the range
Of the Rockies
Ginseng Is a native of moist, fertile soil
In woods, where shade and damp atmos-
phere are steady conditions. 1t will not
grow In the direct rays OF the sun or in old
soil. l am transplanting the roots, plant
ing the seed ana cuitivating them with per-
feet success in the forest, where the plants
receive their natural protection by the
leaves falling from the trees on the ground,
keeping the roots from freezing in the win
ter. The leaves, while on the trees during
the summer, protect the plants from
the direct rays Of the sun. Yet claim that
ginseng can be cultivated with success In
open fields. First, by mixing wild earth
from the woods with the old soil until 1t
becomes the same as new; second, cover the
roots with leaves during the winter; third 9,
make covering over the plants in summer
that will let the rain through, giving them
a similar natural protection.
cultivate the plant from the seed three
years, the yield being at the rate of 1000
pounds dry root per acre. l cultivate the
plants from the roots / transplant from
two to four years, the gain in weight on
one pound of roots being at the rate OF ten
pounds in four years. The dried roots are
worth from So to 81 per pound in New
York city.
l fertilize my plants. but never plow
them. 1t requires but little labor to pre-
pare the ground and to cultivate the plants.
Besides. ginseng is a sure crop ind ready
sale. When l dig a crop, take off the
main root for market. and transplant the
same plant or stalk, which gives me an
other crop Of roots in three years, and a
seed crop every year.
My plants are making a good show. l

plants; some twenty-five and few thirty
leaf plants. They promise a fine seed crop
and are the admiration of all who see them.

We can suggest other combinations with
a less number of varieties that would make
you good pastures for calves and other
stock. We presume your soil Is well
drained or sufficiently dry. For winter
pasture this is essential. There must be no
possibility of standing water. A rich dry
upland is the place for winter pasture.
The ANIMALS in the above list, of course,
are only good for the first winter. After
that the perennias will be In full possession
of the soil and the pasture will not be at its
best until the second year. In the course of
few weeks we will name a number of
mixtures from whicn anybody can get

ture as well as good cow pasture and horse
pasture. You should have a few sheep at
least to run with the calves.

sippi Agricultural College which is devoted
to "Grasses and Forage Plants" adapted to
southern use.

Sowing Data by Hand.

Since the drill came Into use it has become
the fashion to SOW all grain with it. An
exception may, we think, properly be made
of oats. II the ground has been properly
fitted 1t Is almost impossible to drill oats
without covering the seed too deeply. The
oat ground ought always TO be rolled after
the crop comes up. II 1t has been drilled
this breaks down the ridges and covers the
seed deeper than ever. On the other hand,
sown carefully by hand by a good sower.
the oats can be distributed as evenly as
with adrill. After dragging the plowed
surface to level it down SOW the oats by
hand and cover with the smoothing harrow.
It will coyer them at a nearly uni>
form depth of one inch. If rain Games so as
to pack the ground. go over it with
the smoothing harrow again. Thus treated,
oats will yield as large a crop as the land is
capable of producing. The only advantage
of the grain drill for oats is that with fer
tilizer attachment commercial fertilizers
can be drilled in with the seed But oats
are grain crop SO low priced that it pays
less for extra fertilizers than any other.
Most farmers prefer to use commercial ma
nures on wheat or barley letting the oas
forage for itself on what fertility can be
developed by good preparation Of the seed
bed. II cat roots are stimulated by little
phosphate in spring, they will leave the
ground poorer for the following crop of
wheat thon it would be to postpone the
phosphating until the winter grain is sown.

Intensive Cultivation.

As the agricultural areas gradually grow
less in proportion to population, says the
Western Rural, not only must better sys-
TENS be applied, but more rhoroughness in
all departments OF land culture to obtain
the best results. This would imply smaller
farms with larger proportion of profit. A
writer upon the subject, referring particu-
larly to the south, says all over the country
we see farmers who are considering tue ad-
Visibility OF Kidding themselves OF the
large farm and its attendant cares and ex-
penses, and devoting their energies to the
better cultivation of fewer acres.
This is a move in the right direction, eS-
pecially in the older and more thickly set
tied regions OF the country. In many
places farm lands have reached value
where it is extremely difficult to make the
staple crops pay a net return an acre that
will equal the interest upon the investment.
Such branches as will give a higher res
turn an acre are being looked to, such as
gardening and fruit farming, high: GLASS
darying, etc. The only trouble with this
new movement is that some OF the men who
go into 1t think that these branches can be
conducted on the same broad lines and
principles that they have applied in the man
agement of the general farm. This is a grave
error and almost always leads to disaster. II
the farmer who is thus changing his plans
cannot make up his mind to change his
methods and practices also-in fact, to be~
gin at the beginning and study the new ag-
riculture which Is comprehended in the
phrase intensive cultivation"-he had bet
ter turn the management Of things over to
one of the new generation.

Treatment of the Grape Vine.

Vineyard work during the summer con-
sists mainly in keeping the soil well worked
and clean, summer pruning of the vine. and
fighting black rot and miEdew, says Orchard
and Garden.
What is known as summer pruning is
merely the pinching off, here and there,
of superfuous buds and shoots whilst small
and SO regulating the growth of the vine as
may be desired. AT the beginning of the
season the weaker of the swo buds that
generally start together should have been
rubbed off; the remaining ones have now
become long canes, have bloomed and have
set their fruit, two or three clusters to each
shoot We now pinch off the ends of the
young canes at two or three leaves beyond
the last cluster. This checks the growth of
the wood and causes the sap to stay and de-
velop the fruit and leaves on the shoot or
cane.
1t also develops and starts into growth
the buds at the axis # the leaves, which
are termed laterRls. These should also be
pinched off, leaving one leaf. As the bud
left on these laterals and the last one on the
main canes starts to grow, pinch them
again, two or three times If necessary
during the season. Small and imperfect
clusters of fruit should be removed and
their absence will be beneficial to the re-
mAinder

PAPER IS NEVER WASTED.
Not White Paper, at All Events What
Old Meta Are Worth.

From the Washington Star.
"There is no such thing as waste paper, ="
said the junk dealer TO Star reporter.
Hardly scrap Of white paper is ever
wasted. Every bit Oft that is thrown away
is carefully gathered up and finds its way
eventually to the mill again to be made
over.
Brown paper, however, is different.
Because it Is composed of nothing more
valuable than straw it Is mostly thrown
away and never used again. | would not
pay you rs cents for ton of it. A few
years ago old newspapers were worth 4
cents pound, being made of rags Now
they are manufactured cut of wood pulp
and straw, and their market value is only
quarter OF a cent a pound. Office paper,
such as old bills and such scraps, are worth
the same price as newspapers, while what
We call office sweepings. composed largely
OF envelopes, are quoted at 10 cents a hum
bred weight.
"The Kind OF paper for which I pay the
highest price is such stuff as ledgers with
the covers tore Off and other fine writing
paper. For that kind OF material will
give 81 25 a hundred weight. Reading
books are worth so cents per 100 pounds.
Ordinary mixed white paper has value of
15 cents 100. Old metals purchase just as
do waste paper. For old iron / pay %
cents a hundred weight and for old lead 81
cents pound by tho quantity. Old copper
Is worth cents a pound and old brass
fetches from to cents. There are people
who deal In secondhand machinery, but I
only buy it as old iron. Safes, wheels and

II the land is poor to begin with it must be

to grow the trees year by year. just as you
