Farm Notes.

The bottom OF the straw-stack, which
often gets wet, is a source of disease and
becomes the harbOring place of insects.
For seed use sound and smooth potatoes,
allowing two good ewes to each piece.
Large pieces are better than small ones
Be careful not 10 allow a single diseased
tuber among the seed potatoes.
Level culture OF potatoes permits of the
retention of more moisture in the ground,
presenting less surface for evaporation
than hills. and the ground can also be more
easily cultivated, so as to keep the top soil
loose.
There is no sure remedy for mildew in
gooseberries. 1t may be avoided to a GER
tain extent, however, by thinning the
bushes so as to give them al oDen head,
which allows the air and sunlight to reach
the center of the bush more freely.
This is an excellent time for renewing
the pasture, or grass land, by seeding
Use a rough harrow on the bare places, if
possible, but whether the ground is dis
turbed or not, scatter grass seed, and
plenty OF it, wherever it may be needed.
Keep the stock away from the field until
the new grass gets start.
Currants have been neglected OF recent
years, owing to the ravages Of enemies,
| yet the enemies can be kept n check by
proper remedies and care. AS many as
| 1900 bushes can be planted on an acre.
and good, thrifty bush can De made to
| produce as many as five pounds of cur
rants. The soil requires being kept clean
and plenty of manure should be applied.
In western New York, where grapes are
| grown and kept until Christmas. the yield
of an acre is estimated at about four tons,
| while the cost of the labor is said to be no
| greater than for an acre OF corn. The
/ grapes, however, even when prices are
| low, give four times the profit derived
from corn. Some seasons the grape crop
brings high prices in that section. as they
usually reach the market when the main
supply is over.
A sudden change from the dry food OF
winter to green food is liable to cause the
COWS to fall off in milk, owing TO the
''scours." Where ensilage has been used
the liability is not 80 great. Young rye
and early grasses are mostly water in COM
position and are very laxative. The best
method is to allow the animals on the
early rye but a short time at first, gradu-
| ally extending the indulgence until the
risk Of bowel disorder has passed.
Every farmer knows how unsightly the
tufts of grass appear in the pasture which
have been stimulated by the droppings OF
the animals. When the COWS are on the
pasture it will pay to collect this manure
daily, or go into the fields with rake
and scatter it, This may appear ike extra
labor, but it will pay, as the manure will
confer greater benefit to the field and to
the grass. Cattle seem TO avoid these
tufts, and until the fed is plowed again
some OF the land will become poorer and
other portions richer

The Right Way 20 Plant a Tree.
TMehan's Monthly.1

II is not unusual to hear people say that
they cannot understand why trees die
under transplantin0 considering that they
give the planting the very best of care
What is considered the very beet of care
is often very bad care. 1t is amazing to
see the careful planter without experience
occasionally on his knees pressing the
earth in around the roots with l,is fingers,
for fear of crushing the tibers 1t is i'm
possible to get the earth properly packed
around roots in this way. In nurseries,
where it is presumable planting is thor
oughly understood, a man stands with a
rsmmer while one is putting in the earth,
and hammers the earth in as tightly as
though he was hammering In post. This
packs the earth in more tightly than can
be done by either feet or hands. Some
are afraid of crushing the roots with this
hammering process; but with the pressure
all around the force is directed toward
the roots and not away from them. 1t is
not necessary, however, to 90 into reasons,
as the universal experience of the nursery
Is in favor of hammering in the earth as
represented. This is the essence Of good
planting, and any other planting is de-
cidedlY bad. Trees properly planted need
no stalking. The fact that tree needs
stalking is proof that it was not properly
planted

In a few weeks onions will receive at
tention, as the crop is the first one planted
and in this section the sets are sometimes
set out in March. the principal crops being
grown from sets of last year, rather than
from seed. To produce the sets the seeds
must be planted the preceding year. Mr..
I. Greiner of La Sale, n. Y. who has con-
tributed so many valuable articles to agri-
cultural journals on onion and potato
growing. has, by experiment, learned to
produce an early crop from seed the first
year, to secure large yields, and to realize
high prices. In q recent communication
60 the Farm and FiTesids he states that he
Ehips onions TO market in crates holding
three-fourths of bushel, and receives 81
per crate. and that on the proper soil, the
use Of suitable varieties, and liberal appli-
cation of manure and fertilizers, as many
as J, 900 bushels per acre of onions may be
grown, which is very remunerative COM
pared with many other crops.
As many will be interested in his
method, it may be stated that the varie-
ties are mostly of the Prize Taker" and
spanish Kink," the "Victoria" being pre-
ierred as a white onion, which can be
marketed earlier than the Denver yell
low" grown in the old way, and other
varieties may be grown in the same way
to be marketed in the fall. Seed should
be sown as early as hOtbeds can be started,
in February or early in March, about a
pound and a half of seed being required
to grow plants enough for one acre. Sow
the seed in hotbeds In rows. an ounce and
a half of seed TO an ordinary sash, and
keep the bed clear of weeds. The young
plants are ready for the open ground when
they are of the thickness of a lead pencil.
The rows should be twelve inches apart
and the plants three inches apart IN the
rows. OF course this close planting calls
for much labor, and the transplanting Of
the young onions is also a heavy job, but
Il must not be overlooked that the labor
usually given to a crop grown from seed
IN the open ground, before the young
onions appear, IS also quite an item, as
well as the great amount of seed required,
hence the trsnsplanting in the end proves
very profitable. The crop is best culti-
waited with hand hoes and wheel hoes
Onions transplant very easily, and good
plants seldom die.
The chief point is to get the crop prop
erly ripened and cured, and, with this end
IN view, the onions should be pulled IS
soon as the tops begin to waste away. 1t
is always safer to harvest them too early
than too late. In the case OF late harvest
ing you allow more time for growth, but,
by early harvesting OF the crop there will
be better chance for the crop to cure and
become well capped over. Gather them
when perfectly dry and store on barn
floor or loft or on Slated shelves. leaving
them spread out thinly to finish curing,
then handle them over to remove the
tops, assert them, and send TO market.

Raum investigating committee today
Representative Cooper testified that
whatever his clerk, Hersey. did in re-
gard to furnishing information OBJ
tanned on congressional call slips was
without his knowledge or consent.
Mr.. Cooper charged that Commissioner
Raum knew or suspectedas long ago as
last January that Hersey was doing
! wrong, but instead OF warning Cooper,
the commissioner arranged to have Her
sey bribed and tried 10 entrap Cooper
by underhand means. Witness dis
missed Hersey as soon as he learned
what he was doing. Witness never re-
celved cent for any services growing
out of his connection with public office.
In reference TO Mr.. Maring's use Of
Cooper's slips, witness explained that
Maring in 1889 asked and received per
mission to use Cooper shame in calling
up pension cases for the soldiers in Coop
er's district only. Witness atterward
learned that Maring was abusing til:
privilege, and informed Commissioners
Tanner of the fact that he had ex-
pressly Initiated that privilege to SOL
diers Of his district.
The recklessness of Gen. Raum, Mr..
Cooper said, was shown III his submit
ting an affidavit OF David L. Git that
Commissioner Black has thrown 5000
Of witness congressional call slips in
the waste basket, when the record
showed witness did not become a con-
gresham until Gen. Black went out.
In his desire to injure witness. Commits
sioner Raum had been guilty Of
deliberate falsehood, for he
had called attention to Jerseys
having used witness name on call slips,
and said he had made no discovery that
Hersey had used any other members
very papers he filed as exhibits showed
FIVE cases in which other members
name were used. 1t had been stated,
Mr.. Cooper said, that 10000 call slips
had been printed in his name, whereas
the printer testified that only 5000 had
been printed.
