Adding to this the assurance that the

Nevertheless, if the Paganism of

Bagging Grapes Won't Prevent Mil
dew and Black Rot.

Bagging grapes to prevent mildew or
black rot in the vineyards of Florida is a
signal failure, saws G.. H. Wright in
Farmer and Fruit-Grower. Black rot or
mildew has not been known to iniure
vineyards in America but few years.
and now nothing but Bordeaux mixture
or its equivalent will prevent the above
disease.
-Four years ago | saw a Vineyardist bag
ging his grapes to prevent their injury by
the flea beetle. The next year | saw an
other grape-grower bagging with oil sat
urated paper for same cause as first. He,
however, was as busy in a few days re-
moving the bags as he was at first in
placing them on the lunches of grapes
The saturated oil bags made first-class
crematOry for cooking the fruit.
This season visited vineyard that had
twenty thousand paper sacks on the finest
punches to project them from black rot
and the bags were placed ON the fruit be-
fore any signs of disease had made its APP
pearance. informed the manager that
l believed it would be failure
A few days since l again visited this
vineyard and black rot was prevalent all
through the vines and nearly one fourth
the grapes had dropped off and were in
the bottom of the bags. This convinced
the manager that bagging grapes in
Florida would not prevent their being af-
fected by mildew.
While on this subject allow me to state
that my experience and observations
have led me to the positive conviction
that we must work and spray our grape
vines in Florida Systematically with
properly prepared solution of Bordeaux
mixture, beginning in March and keep it
up as often as every two weeks until,
say, May Goth, or about one month before
the fruit begins to ripen, and again spray
once in July and again in August after
the fruit is gathered. This keeps down
the disease OF black rot and makes it
much more.easy to handle the following
year.
One thing must be borne in mind, we
must prevent the disease, as no known
remedy will cure it if once it makes it's
appearance. Black rot or mildew is a
plant growth and it attacks the vines,
lateral branches, leaves and fruit. and
lowers the vitality of the vines so it will
not hold the fruit. "a word to the
wise,'' etc.

A stalk of Caasnva.

A very nutritious plant in the south
called Cassava is described in the Fruit
Grower by a writer who says stalk
planted three years ago last March on
the poor sandhills" of Winter Haven,
Fla, never fortified, only specifically
cultivated two or three times when small
never since, had spread of branches
twenty feet and height of twelve feet,
very symmetrical in form and ornamen-
tai, and when dug up few days ago gave
a mass of roots weighing between 300 and
400 pounds, crisp, succulent and sweet,
my horses eating them with relish
There were eight of these roots, huge
fellows, in length from ten to twelve feet
when ali taken out, besides a number of
small ones. The largest of the eight ran
pretty deep as it got away from the stalk
and so broke off where it was two and
one-half inches in diameter and we did
not follow it further. The part taken out
was seven feet and two inches long, nine
inches in diameter at big end and two
and one-half at small end where it

pounds, and is to be seen by the curious

Giving Horses Neaieine.

Always remember in drenching horse
that the medicine is TO be given slowly
through the mouth, says n horseman.
Pouring fluids down a horses nostrils or
pinching the throat to make him swallow
are ways in which medicines get down
the windpipe instead of going to the
stomach, and many a valuable animal has
been killed by setting up mechanical
pneumonia by getting fluids in the lungs,
when if no attempt had been made to
treat the primary disease, whatever it
may have been, often purely imaginary
the patient would undoubtedly have re-
covered itself. In fact there is nearly
always a tendency among horsemen to
thank the medicine if the horse
RECEIVERS, and blame the animal or disease
if it dies, when in many cases is the re
verse, and the horse dies it may the med
icine that killed, and if he RECEIVERS it is
often in spite of what ought to have
caused death. Horses are not made of
cast iron, and they should receive gentle
treatment on all occasions, particularly
when they are being given medicine. In
iections of warm suds often aid in re-
lieving collie, and here again care must be
taken not to injure the rectum when in
Producing the syringe. It is not uncOm-
mon to see the rectum lacerated by
the nozzle of the syringe. and it has even
been perforated Causing death) by the
end of the syringe being introduced by a
rough, careless stable man.

Scraps.

Some farmers find it very hard to be-
lieYe the chemist when he tells them that
in one ton of ordinary stable manure
there are 800 pounds of water Because
the water does not all run out, they do not
see how it can be there. Yet it is, as
can be proved by weighing the
wet manure, then drying it
perfectly, and weighing it again In
ordinary homemade bread there is nearly
81 per cent. of water. To prove this,
weigh the loaf, and then slice it up and
toast the slices brown. Put pound of
bran in three pounds Of water and leave
it overnight, or watch your wife boil a
handful of oatmeal in several times its
weight of water. You win thus get an
idea of how water slows itself away, out
of sight, and makes bulk. Sell water, but
don't buy it.
There are several ways of breaking a
kicking cow of its habit, but the one
recommended as the best by all who try
it is described as follows:
''Of course, kindness goes a good ways.
But the first thing l do when | have a
young cow that never was MIXED or one
that seems to think she is boss, is to get a
halter, tie her gently to secure place,
get a strap, place it over her back behind
the hips, bring it around just in front of
the udder buckle it quite snug, get your
stool and milk pail, sit down, draw with
both hands all the milk you want and ask
no questions if dame COW likes it or not,
for she will not be able to lift a leg TO tell
you what her sentiments are. In a few
days you can leave of applying the strap"
Experiments made show that the germs
Of roup are destroyed when brought in
contact with spirits of turpentine. Tur-
pentine, however, is a severe dose to
give, even if effectual, and if too much is
given it may do damage of itself To
properly prepare it, mix one part spirits
of turpentine, one part kerosene and three
parts glycerine in a sewing-machine oil

Turkeys are pre-eminetly a wild fowl,
and require plenty of liberty to become
profitable, says the Poultry Journal. 1t

finement as well as do other poultry, and
it is an open question whether they ever
can be confined for any length of time
without becoming sickly, diseased and
Improbable where the range is limited
The breeding of turkeys should not be
attempted on a small fruit farm, where
grapes and berries are grown they de-
stroy far more than can be realized from
them and their increase. 1t is On a grain
or grass farm where they roam around at

table when well and literally fed 1t is
great mistake to attempt to hatch them
TOO early The month of May is good
time to set their eggs. The first
batch of eggs the turkey hen lays should
be taken away and set under a hen. The
turkey hen soon goes to laying again and
she can be left to hatch those out herself,
BY this means you get two broods from
her, while if you left her to hatch out the
first LAYING, she would raise but one brood
and perhaps but few of these after trail

There is no question but that curing hay
is usually overdone, far more being in
iured from too long exposure to the rays
of the sun than is injured by securing
somewhat green. When in the beginning
of haying the grass is loaded with sap
more time is required for curing; as the
grass ripens, less and less time should be
allowed so that as much as possible of the
juices may be retained. No rule can be
given as to the time required in properly
curing hay. So much depends on condition
of grass. green or dry, light or heavy,
that good Judgment, qualified by practical
experience, is the only safe guide to fol-
low. The weather also performs an i'm
portant part, and grass cured in dry,
bracing atmosphere with unobstructed
sunlight will be ready much sooner for
the stack than if the atmosphere is some
what heavy, although the sun is shining
Just as brightly. A reasonable amount of
drying is absolutely necessary to secure
the best results, but do not overdry, and
never under any circumstances stack wet
or damp hay, for it will not only be loss
itself, but injure double the amount sur

Even though plants are grown only for
their Ieaves-such as cabbage and lettuce,
q certain amount of potash and phos-
phoric acid is essential to their normal
development, but as our correspondent
suggests, a great many farmers and gar
deners Gin Georgia as well as in Florida)
do apply these elements very promis-
cously and wastefully as a rule. Potash
is frequently applied when it is not
needed. But nearly all of the soils are
benefited byphosphoric acid (phosphate.)
We have seen kainit applied TO an inju-
rious extent and it is quite possible to
apply phosphate in the form of an acid
phosphate to an injurious extent.
Nitrate of soda furnishes only nitrogen
and on ordinary sandy soils it is rarely
out of place if applied properly at the
proper time, and as a general thing it is
better than cotton seed meal for growing
any leaf plants Used as a top dressing
after plant growth is well started it rare
ly failstO pruduce good results, used at
the rate of 80 to 200 pounds per acre.
Soil that is very rich in potash and phos-
phonic acid but destitute of nitrogen will
readily stand an application of 200 pounds
OF nitrate Of soda, but on a crop growing
after peas or clover so to IS (perhaps a
hundred) pounds of the nitrate is all-suf-
ticient usually. ,-s..... .,.-
As rule our sandy soils respond very
satisfactorily to nitrateuof soda, but it
must be used intelligently TO apply
what is not really needed is an absolute
waste, and farmer "goes it blind" when
he does not experiment with the three
valuable elements in order to find out
which is the most needed by his particular
soil. 1t is very interesting part of his
business to find out which is the most
valuable element he can use.

The Distance of Thunder.

Although lightning and thunder
occur always simultaneously, an in
terval of shorter or longer duration
is usually observed between these
two phenomena, which is due to the
fact that sound travels only at the
the rate of l,1OO feet per second,
while the passage Of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact
it is an easy matter to tell at least
approximately how many miles a
thunderstorm is away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to the second. and by counting
the pulse beats during the intervals
of the lightning and the thunder the
lapse of seconds is arrived at, and
consequently the number of feet,
which can be reduced to miles. For
example: II thirty seconds elapse be-
tween the flash of the lightning and
the crash of thunder the storm cen
ter is at distance of 1000 feet. OF
about six and a half miles. An al
most accurate calculation can be
made by using watch with q
minute dial. Louis Post Dis
