AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THE best cheese-malIer in the land
cannot do justice to the milk given him
for manufacture if he must make it up
in chilly apartment, where it is i'm
possible TO elevate the temperature.
Then, after the cheeses are made, to
be obliged to place them in dining
room in which the same conditions eX-
list, is another and even more serious
drawback.
ENsu.AGE may be used the next day
after it is put in the silo, if necessary.
1t will be warmer then than would be
wise to feed it to a COW, but it may be
left to cool before it is fed. 1t will,
however, gradually become more nu-
tritious as it is kept longer. Green
corn, or corn which is not more than
half-cured after having been cut and
stacked in the field, may be used for
this purpose.

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
They Are Splendid Investment and Not
an Expense.


an Expense.
The attention given by Gov. Flower
to the good roads question will lead TO
bringing this important matter before
the Legislature of the Empire state and
secure for it proper consideration. The
facts and figures advanced in support
of his arguments make the New York
executives position clear and his argu-
meut conclusive.
Gov. Flower shows that good roads
should cost no more than bad roads,
and in order to demonstrate this fully
he presents statement of the amount
of money expended annually in main
tanning the roads in fifty counties of
the state of New York, which is 50, 49,
76l. The governor shows that with
this sum of money expended for in
terest on bonds for building and main
tanning good roads there is still enough
left to provide a sinking fund with
which to eventually wipe out the
bonded indebtedness, ''The cost" says
Gov. Flower, ''of $50 miles of macadam
road in each county at $1,000 a mile
would be S1,05O, 900, the interest on
which would be St2, 900 per annum at
per cent, leaving sl2,OO year to be
applied to sinking fund" The gov
ernor then earnestly invites the at
tention of the legislature to this great
question:" and declares himself inn
pressed with its material Importance
to the interests of the whole state"
What is said of New York may be
said with added emphasis concerning
the road conditions in other states, The
amount expended in keeping up bad
roads would build and maintain good
roads. There is deep-seated prejudice
against bonded indie btedness, and this
| is the outgrowth of the era of eXtrava.
giant railroad bonuses and expensive
county courthouses. AS an opposition
to useless expenditures it is highly
commendable. But as an argument
against any sort of improvement it is
illogical and actually hurtful to the
agricultural portions of the state.
Money invested in something that is
worth all or more than is paid for it
should not be looked upon as money
foolishly expended, which brings no
permanent good results,
Money expended for good roads
would be wise investment for the
reason that it would enhance the value
of every bit of property in any given
county. Fifty cents an acre for each
acre CT land in an ordinary county
would pay for good roads for that com
ty. One dollar an acre for those lands
that are now deprecated in value and
rental would pay for roads that woulc
make them accessible. Estimating the
enhancement in value on inaccessible
farms in an ordinary county at $40 ar
acre, the increase would aggregate per
haps IS, 900, 900, while the higher renta
possible would be enough to pay out
right for good roads for the entire
county in two or three years at tht
most.
Good roads should be looked upon a.
an intelligent investment and not as al
expense. Chicago News Record.

How to Extermlnate Fiea,.

Fleas- those that infest domestic
animals are hard to get rid of after
they once get into the house in warm
weather Cats and dogs are great flea
disscminators and they should not be
allowed to come into the house in sum-
mer time. The following is recon-
mended as magic exterminator: Take
half a pound of Persian insect powder,
same quantity of finely-powdered
borax, one ounce oil of cedar, quarter
of an ounce of oil of pennyroyal, prop
erly put up by a druggist; close the
room mp tight sprinkle this powder
IN the carpet, furniture and beds, and
keep closed all day or night; then open
all windows and air thoroughly, and in
twenty-four hours there will be no
fleas, flies nor mosquitoes left The
rooms then may De swept and busted.
1t is claimed that this is also an eff
cient exterminator of reaches and wa
ter bugs. Farm and Fireside.

THE ROT OF FRUITS,

Ia, b, c, bunch of affected cherries; d, myceli-
UNI; e, fruiting tuft of fungus; (, g, affected
leaves Reproduced from Galloway's Report
were affected, in some cases totally de-
stroyed. Plums which set fruit as the
Cheney, continued to be affected dur
ing June, July and August During
May my attention was called to tree
in which the flowers were blighted.
Closer inspection showed that this
blight began in proximity to the mum
mied plums of last year. 1t very SOON
affected all of the flowers on the tree.
The mycelium or vegetative part OF
the fungus perme ates the affected por-
tons of the plant, either growing be-
tween the cell walls, in the inter-
cellular spaces or penetrating the cells
themselves, In certain places the my
celium collects in masses which break
through the epidermis giving rise TO
Che grayish white tufts so familiar to
many of you. The threads (hyph@)
bear one-celled oval spores which
terminate readily in water and moist
air, but copper salt in weak solution
prevents this process IL is sometimes
stated that the germ tubes of this fun
gus cannot penetra te the unbroken
epidernls of the peach and apple.
From observations extending over sew
eral years | am convinced the germ
tubes can do so. Insects and injuries
no doubt often give the fungus bet
ter chance to get in its work.
l'reventivcs: Two measures suggest
| themselves a, orchard hygiene; b, use
of fungicidcs. 1t is well established
fact that the spores of this fungus re-
tain their vitality for some time, and
that they are readily carried over
from season to season by means of
mummied plums, peaches and APP
pies left on or under the trees.
The case referred to above, where the
disease started from the plums on
the tree, is good evidence. DR.. Erwin
| T. Smith also cites similar case
where peach orchard in Delaware
suddenly showed the fungus. He says:
"0f hundreds of blighted stems exam
| ined in 1887, l saw none which were
not associated with rotted peaches"
Another important point to consider is
this fungus can be easily carried from
plum to peach, pear and apples or from
any one of these hosts to the plum, the
fungus of all of them being identical.
The old plums, apples, etc, should be
removed. Injuries to stored fruit avoid
cd, as these are especially liable to the
attacks of this fungus Large losses
are incurred by shipping perishable
fruit, like the peach, during warm and
moist weather. 1t is more difficult to
treat this fungus with fungicides than
bitter rot or apple scab. 1t may be
best to use ammoniacal carbonate Of
copper prepared as follows: To 3
ounces of copper car Donate add a small
amount of water; then one quart of
ammonia, This is diluted with ~
gallons of water. 1t is easily applied
with any of the knapsacl sprayers
now in the market. For two seasons
we have used the l1napsack sprayer
withgood re suits This sprayer is not
patented, and is thus cheap

Thorough Flowing Pays.

The thorough pulveriziug of the land
for corn will greatly increase the pro-
ductiveness of the stalks, yet corn is
often planted on sod land that is in a
rough condition. If corn land is plowed
during the winter, and then cross
plowed in the spring, greater supply
of plant foed will be ready for the
young plants at period when it is re-
quired the most. A fine soil gives the
young roots an opportunity to MAXI
rapid growth at the start, and as the
main point with corn crop is an early
start the thorough preparation of the
soil, by both winter and spring plow-
ing, will be found of great advantage,
especially in those sections where a
few MD days IN winter may permit Of
the use of the pillow.

FARM AND GARDEN.
TIE ROT OE ERulTS.
A Subject In Which Every Horticulturist
IL Interested,

Is Interested.
Before the Western Iowa llorti.
cultural society, Prof. Il, II. Pammcl,
of Iowa Agricultural college, said:
The subject of fruit rots is of interest
to the horticulturists, as serious losses
occur every year from it, The fungi
concerned are either parasitic or sapro-
phytic, One of the most serious is
brown rot, caused by parasitic fun
gus known as Manila fructigena, PeIs.,
and attacks variety of fruit trees.
In Iowa the plum, apple and cherry
are affected The loss caused by this
fungus is very large in all parts of the
United States especially in the peach
growing districts. So severe is it on
some late varieties of the peach that a
large percentage is affected. Every
season certain kinds of our cultivated
forms of the native plums are injured.
We have seen it on the Cheney, Chip
pcwa, De Soto, Wolf, etc. The writer
observed many cherries rotting on
trees in Dubuque in 1891. Usually this
fungus does not make its appearance
until the time of maturing of the fruit
approaches, but when the conditions
nre favorable such as warmth and
moisture it grows on the flowers, leaves
and stems. We had such an abundance
