Double Profit in Feeding to Stock and
Using the Manure.
A. W. Cheever, editor of The New
England Farmer, in his familiar talks
to farmers, says most decidedly that he
would not advise sowing hungarian
millet to be plowed in for fertilizing q
field to be seeded to grasses in Septem-
Der, and in this connection he expresses
the following opinions:
have never had much faith in the
economy Of raising good fodder to be
plowed in to enrich land. 1t is too ex-
pensive fertilizer. 1t is be.ter to feed
it first to profitable stock aud then get
two profits, one from the animals and
another from the manure made while
feeding. A crop of millet growing
through the summer months will ex-
tract from the soil about all the availa-
BILE plant food the soil contains and can
not give 1t up to the succeeding crop till
it has itself become thoroughly decom-
posed, which will not be in season to
help the grass much this year. And il
the grass fails to get good start. sown
in September it might about as well not
have been sown at all.
Turning in green crops for manure Is
"a popular practice in sections where
wheat raising is the chief business of
the farm, and where crop of wheat
cannot be grown without manure often
er than once in two or three years. We
are being taught now that clover and
other plants producing root tubercles
are capable of gathering nitrogen from
the atmosphere, and SO by their growth
the fertility Of n soil may be actually
increased. Millet is not a member of
this class of plants and can carry to the
soil nothing of special value as fer
tilizer but what it has taken from the
soil during its period of growth. Clover,
beans and peas turned in will increase
the fertility of soils after decomposition,
but even these are worth much more
fed to stock and the manure saved to
apply to the land.
have no doubt that man could exist
on the earth without the aid of farm
stock, but at the present time and with
existing ideas and habits it is far better
to encourage the keeping of all the
pAbhthbiV otoSh u idiLl Will carry anu W
feed all the fodder grown rather than
turn it under for manure. There is a
great amount of vegetation grown that
man cannot utilize as food till it has
first been converted into animal food by
the live stock Of the country. The study
of the farmer should be how best to
utilize this material. Turning under is
not the best way.

The celery blight is prominent among
our destructive fungi. According to the
observations Of various growers the prev
alence of tho blight seems to depend
largely upon the weather, although di-
verse views upon the condition for blight
may arise from confusion of two or
more distinct kinds Of fungi. At the
New Jersey station the following fungus
diseases of the celery have been studied
by tho botanist, namely: The common
rust" or blight, as it should be called;
the celery leaf spot, new species, a
second form of leaf blight, found In the
country for the first time during the
past season in Delaware and in New
Jersey, and a bacterial disease due to a
species of bacterium. .-m- .--.
4 AS described in u special bulletin,
field experiments were made with the
celery blight, and the weekly spraying
with the ammoniacal carbonate of cop
per made the practical difference of a
S4ff crop where it was used and fail.
ure where it was not. Acting Director
Nelson believes similar treatment will
prove effective for all the diseases of the
celery, and wherever growers have had
blight or rust" they IRE encouraged TO
try tho same remedy or some other good
fungicide. The bacterial decay spreads
through the plant after it is banked or
stored, and great pains need be taken
not to let the tender heart Of the plant
become wet.
The formula of the department of az.
riculture for ammoniacal solution Of
copper carbonate is as follows: In an or.
binary water pail mix five ounces OF
. copper carbonate with enough water tc
make thick paste, Dissolve this paste
! in three pints Of strong aqua ammonia
Il then dilute TO ferty-five gallons. Ii
three pints of ammonia are not sufficient
to dissolve all the paste add enough tC
bring about the result. -.E.
