Remedy Against plnn, Knot.

The Rural New Yorker states that a
correspondent paints portions of his plum
trees on which the plum knot appears
with coal oil and that this eventually
stops the growth Of tho swelling known
as ''the knot" By taking it in time he
says that the disease does not spread and
that the knots eventually peel off, leav-
ing only scar to mark the spot. Nee
han. commenting on tho foregoing, says;
As tllis disease is caused by a minute
fungus, there can be no doubt of the ac-
curacy Of this observation. Oils of all
kinds are well known TO be fatal to all
fnngous organisms. II is more than
likely that if the plum trees were to get
painting Of pure linseed oil or any
other vegetable oil once q year they
would continue ut all times healthy.

Narragansott Turkeys.

says of the Narragansett turkey: 1t is
one of the largest and hardest of all the
breeds of turkeys. 1t is raised in the
greatest perfection in southeastern Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, a region fa-
nous for its fine poultry. Most of the
birds sold in the Boston and Providence
markets under the name of Rhode Island
turkeys, or extra No. /, are of this
breed. The farmers are careful in their
selection of their breeding stock, taking

The American Cultivator does not be-
lieve that the acid taste of the sorrel is
an indication of sourness of the soil
that can be corrected by the use of lime,
gypsum or salt, though either of them
might assist III killing sorrel by promot-
ing the growth of other and ranler
growing crops that would smother it
out. This, in fact, is the best and surest
method we know for destroying sorrel
or that other pest that grows under
similar conditions, the whiteweed or
daisy. Plow the ground when these
plants are about coming into blossom,
manure it literally and SOW or plant
with some crop that grows rapidly and
shades the ground.
Thus blowing in June and sowing
rutabagas or setting cabbages, giving
them good cultivation until their leaves
were too large to admit of so doing, then
following with winter rye and again
that with clover, would probably pre-
vent any sorrel, daisy or ragweed from
getting possession if the land were made
rich and the seed were used freely
enough, so that the crop fully occupied
the ground. The same thing might be
done with four crop rotation Of oats to
be cut green for early fodder, followed
by turnips, rye and clover. A sowing of
fodder corn in drills has also been very
successful in producing the same result
when sown thickly and kept well cult
waited.
Stable Manure After Midsummer.
What shall be done with the weekly
and monthly accumulations of manure
during and after midsummer? This is
an important question, as unquestion-
ably much fertilizing material is now
wasted. Left in the barnyard it fer
ments, and its ammonia is wasted on TIE
air. Applied to cultivated crops it dries
up and often does as much harm as
good. On fairly fertile soil thorough
tillage will develop all the fertility
needed for most crops. The lack Of ma
nure is felt most early in the season, and
then the winter made, unfermented ma
nure will do very little good.
Why not compost the summer and fall
manure, taking care to cover the pile SO
as to prevent waste of ammonia? asks
The American Cultivator. If protected
from rains after fermcnting, it will be
dry and powdery, so that it can be even
ly distributed in spring, and it will be
rich enough to make every particle show
where it is applied. If there is grass
land to be plowed next spring, let the
manure ferment slightly and apply it in
September. 1t will be washed among
the roots of the grass. and very little will
be wasted. And if quick stimulant is
needed in the spring nitrate Of soda will
answer the purpose quite - well as any
homemade manure.
