The Subject of Subsoiling.

1t is worthy of note that long contin-
ued cultivation of land that is at all
heavy increases its compactness, and
that one of its effects is to create hard
bottom to the soil at about the usual
depth to which the plow penetrates
After some years Of plowing the tend
ency is to create hard stratum, which
prevents rainfall penetrating the subsoil
except when the soil is saturated. If
this crust be broken, there is q mani
fest advantage which will attend Its
penetration by n less amount Of rainfall
than that which produces saturation of
the soil, says the Iowa Homestead,
which adds:
A subsoil plow largely increases the
power of the land to hold water and
makes Of the subsoil reservoir from
which crops can draw at times when
the soil to the depth to which the plow
usually runs is quite dry. The sugges.
ton has been made that extensive sub.
soiling Of western lands in the arid re.
gions would, if persisted in, affect very
marked and favorable changes in the
ability to grow crops and perhaps in the
climate itself.
The weekly tribune., 1894-10-26
Selecting Seed Corn.

Indian corn is strictly an annual. Ev.
cry plant Of corn, being the product by
seed, is q new variety or subvariety,
and by selection substantially new
variety is obtained. For this reason, ex-
plains Country Gentleman, a distinct
variety may be gradually changed by
successive selection, imperceptible in
one season, but gradually effecting a
considerable deviation III character. AT
this season, when farmers are husking
or handling ears of corn, they may oc-
casionally lay aside an ear such as they
would like to raise for general crop.
They may reject all such ears as have
q broad and heavy cob that is hard to
husk or to break off, and choose the one
they sometimes see that has a small cob
at the base of the ear and is easily strip
ped of it's husk. Continuing this course,
you will in the course Of years have a
variety that is generally easy to husk.
Choose handsome, we'll rounded ears,
and you will eventually have a whole
variety with handsome, we'll rounded
ears.

News nnd Notes.

The government crop report makes
evident serious shortage in the corn
crop.
There are many complaints this year
that corn is poorly filled. This is OF
course duo to the drought.
Tho Nova Scotia apple crop promises
to be as short as that in many sections
Of the United States.
Experiments in feeding cattle fodder
affected with smut and rust at tho vari.
GUS stations does not appear to have re-
suited in any i'll effects.
Storing green forage in the silo foi
stock food is now very general prac'
tice. Even lambs may be successfully
fattened on silage by the additional uss
Of light grain ration.
One authority on feeding wheats
claims that cash wheat at 81 cents pei
bushel is equal to S1S per ton; cash
corn at 56A cents per bushel is equal tc
$40. 25 per ton; cash oats at 80 cents pei
bushel is equal to SIS. 75 per ton, while
cash barley at SO cents per bushel is
equal to $22. so per ton.

Storing Cabl,ages.

Cabbages are best kept out Of doors.
The usual plan is to dig trench wide
enough for n double or triple row Of
heads. In this trench place them with
the heads down and cover with dirt. A
plan described by Prairie Farmer con-
sists in driving forks into the ground
for a pole on which to hang the cabbage.
The heads should touch the ground. Tie
two together to hang over the stick and
then lay some brush lengthwise, o1
coarse weeds, close against the head, and
over this cover with two or three inches
Of dirt, leaving the roots exposed. The
only objection to this method is that
sometimes mice find their way to the
cabbages. By this method the cabbages
are easily reached in any weather. This
way requires no trench. 1t is surface
storage altogether. In every case the
outer leaves should be left on the heads,
and in cellar and trench as we'll as witt
those stored ON the surface should bt
pressed and confined closely. Cabbage'
should be thus cared for just before
| freezing commences in earnest. They
are the better for being left out as Ions
as possible.

MIXED MANURES.
A Celebrated English Authority's Opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.

A Celebrated English Authority's Opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.
Rural New Yorker asked the follow.
ing questions of Sir j. b. Lawes Of
Rothomsted, England: Some fertilizer
firms hold that their goods are superior
to other goods because they use nitrogen
and phosphoric acid In varied forms,
thus giving to plants the foods they need
as needed. For instance, phosphoric acid
is given In bone flour, in bone super.
phosphate and guano-no rock. Nitro
gen is given in nitrate of soda, sulphate
Of ammonia, tankage, ETC. Do you think
there is any decided advantage in this?
Would it not be as well to use fine bone,
sulphate of potash or unleached ashes or
muriate Of potash for most crops and
enough nitrate of soda to give more nj
trogen than the bone furnishes? The
question is, Would not farmers do bet
ter to buy bone -four, nitrate of soda,
etc, separately and spread themP
DR.. Lawes' reply was as follows: 81
can quite understand manure maker
preferring to sell a compound manure,
and he Is able to make largo profit.
The prices of nitrate of soda, bone flour
and rock superphosphate are well
known, and q farmer can mix them in
less cost than he can purchase the mix
ture. The same holds good in food. We
have any amount of cattle cakes in tho
market. A man goes into the market,
purchases various grains ETC., grinds
them, calls the substance cake and
charges about co or G3 per ton above
the cost Of the raw substance. To call
a thing cake does not increase its feed
ing properties.
II once wrote paper OH the subject,
pointing out that cotton cake and lin
seed cake were the refuse of the produc-
tion of oil, and that they would still be
made even if farmers did not purchase
them. So they sell exactly for the price
that farmers think it worth while to pay
for them and no more. have known
linseed cake to sell at ETA per ton, while
cotton cake would only make e5, and
now one sells for e7 and the other not
| much less.
"With reference to farmers purchas-
ing their own manure, it may be said
generally that for grain crops bone is
hardly used at all; for wheat, if autumn
sown, only nitrate of soda is used; for
| spring sown grain crops, mineral super
phosphate and nitrate of soda. Fine
ground bone is used upon some kinds of
soil for turnips, and it is also used for
pasture land. In my opinion bones act
too slowly to be used for annual crops,
but they are of great value as an ingre-
dent in compound manures for sugar
cane, etc.
1.-THE food for plants and animals is
precisely the same. For plants, what
the soil does not supply the air does sup.
ply; for animals, what plants do moi
supply the air supplies. Instead Of buy
ing meat, vegetables, milk, etc., at the
usual price, we may choose prepared
foods containing precisely the same con
stituents and pay five times as much fol
them. We pay others a profit for mix
ing foods which we are unwilling t.
mix"

Timber on Public Lands.

One of the noteworthy measures COM
ing from the committee on public lands
is the bill to prevent the free use Of
timber on public lands. The bill repeals
the acts OF 1891 regulating the cutting
of timber, and that Of 1898 governing
prosecution for violations of the law, and
provides that hereafter it shall be un-
lawful to grant permission to any per-
sons or corporations to cut timber free
of charge. Nothing in the act is to pre-
vent the secretary Of the interior from
permitting, under proper restrictions,
the use of stone and timber free to bona
fide settlers or mineral prospectors fol
firewood, fencing or building purposes.
The committee struck out the clause IT.
voking all permits already granted by
the interior department.

Here is formula for manure that
has been successfully used by New
Jersey gardener for vegetables: One
thousand pounds cottonseed meal OF
bonemeal, both costing about $50 ton;
500 pounds boneblack, costing $25 q
ton, and 500 pounds of muriate of pot
ash, costing $42 to $45 ton. This
makes one ton of first class manure,
costing about $50. This gardener says
in American Gardening: Il have had
better results from this formula thar

Cement Stable Floor.

: Coal ashes will make an excellent
material for mixing with the hydraulic
lime and sand for the concrete for a sta
BILE floor. Wood ashes will not answer
the same purpose. What is required is
something that is bulky and will fill up
with the cement, making an artificial
stone, and of such character as will
be firmly bound in stony mass that will
wear we'll. The rough porous nature Of
coal ashes is precisely what is needed
for this purpose, and thus it answers as
a substitute for gravel and broken stone.
When the concrete is laid, it should be
we'll rammed always to incorporate the
materials and make them solid and give
a. smooth surface as possible. Mont

have pair Of driving horses wish
to fit for market this winter. One of
them has extra good knee and hook ac-
tion, and the other one is just fair. Can
she be shod so az to make her an actor?
If 80, what heft Of shoes should she
wear?
In answer to Mr.. Hawley's inquiries
/ would state, first, that on general
principles it is mistake to hitch to-
gether as driving team two horses un-
equal in their action, and, second, that
no kind Of shoeing is ever likely to
transform a poor actor into good actor.
Something in the line Of shoeing can
probably be done, however, to improve
the action Of the mare, although it is
difficult to prescribe with any degree of
certainty without seeing the mare OF
her movement or even knowing her
weight OF the size Of her foot. Presum.
ing her to be a 900 pound animal with
an average sized foot, ! should recon.
mend front shoe Of from 18 to &c
ounces, with the weight we'll toward
the heels. The hind shoes should be
proportionately lighter, Of course-say,
10 to Ia ounces. After driving her q
few weeks, and if an improvement in
her action be visible, still heavier shoes
could be tried, say, up to % ounces.
/ consider that many people make the
mistake of trying to sell as team ami
mails that are not mated in their gait
or their disposition. AS case in point
q friend Of mine bought in my presence
a team Of LOO pound brown mares in
the Chicago market few weeks age
for $50. Standing still, they seemed
we'll mated, but in action the one SO fal
excelled the other that my friend decid
cd to separate the mares and offer then
singly. The result was that the action
less mare brought only $62. so, while
the other one brought sl20, or nearly
twice the price of her mate. l would
suggest to Mr.. Hawley the possibility
that if his good acting horse is properly
fitted and marketed he may bring alon,
about as much money as the pair will
if one is a "laggard. "-Waverley il

Tho Wild Lettuce.

This is weed that threatens to be-
come a serious pest. 1t has already
spread so greatly in Ohio, Iowa and H.
linois that the agricultural sections of
those states have issued bulletins warn
ing farmers of its presence and advising
them to destroy, NOW or otherwise cut
out the plants before they ripen the
seeds, which are produced in large num-
bers and are readily carried by the
winds. Cutting before the seeds form,
or, better, before it blossoms, will pre-
vent its spread. Twice cutting will be
sufficient AS the plant is either annual
or biennial, its destruction would be
easy were not its seeds carried long dis
tances by the wind. In localities where
the plant is still rare its spread can be
prevented with little effort.

IN THE POULTRY YARD.

BeIectlng Winter Layers-Dispose Of OBJ
jectionable Fowls Early as Possible.
Defects increase with age, and it is
best to dispose of all Objectionable men,
bers of the flock early in the season. Do
not keep any chickens that appear stunt
ed. They always degrade the appearance
of flock, and when once a fowl has
been stunted it is not fit for breeding
purposes, and, in fact, is not worth the
keeping Disease or tendency to dis
ease is hereditary, says Farm Stock and
Home, which furnishes these directions:
Discard all hens that show tendency
to lay on fat and retain those that under
proper feeding will convert the food in
to eggs instead of fat II part Of the
flock convert the food into fat instead of
eggs, the profit the layers might give is
eaten up by the drones. No fowl should
be retained that does not in some man.
ner add to the profit of the flock. Much
care should be observed in selecting lay
ers for breeding purposes every year, and
in short time tho entire flock will con-
sist of nothing but layers.
A good layer has a small head, a long
neck and back and wedge shaped body.
The eyes are bright, and the comb and
wattles are Of bright red. She is ener-
getic and active, starting at every sound
or motion with an elastic spring. A good
layer usually lays eggs that will hatch
well. The very fact that she is good
layer shows that she is in healthy con-
dition, the consequence being that the
greater number of the eggs will be fer
tile and the chicks strong and vigorous.
A hen is profit until she is 3 years
old. After that the number of eggs an
nually decreases, and she should not be
kept longer unless she is world beater
and perfectly healthy.
The hens that molt early should be
retained in preference to those that
molt late They will come into profit
early in winter, when eggs are at good
price. Hens that hatch and raise brood
make good winter layers The rest they
! get by incubation fits them for better
work when they start again.

Live Stock Points.

The Chicago fat stock show will be
held at Tattersalls Nov. 90 to Dec. /.
These fat stock shows ought to be made
as famous as the annual British fat
stock shows. Nobility and royalty are
proud to contribute animals to those
TLis is a vaster, greater, fatter country
than Great Britain. Our breeders can
make the Chicago fat stock shows re-
nowned the world over. They ought to
do so.
A farmer near Bloomington, Ills.
was trampled and butted to death by
bull that had been dehorned. A bull is
never safe till he is dead.
When the telegraph announced that
5000 sheep had been deliberately killed
by raiders in Colorado, eastern people
declared it was newspaper lie. Not
tho most desperate western man would
be guilty Of such savagery, they said.
But when the news was confirmed what
they said would not sound pleasant to
the ears of the men engaged in the sheep
and cattle war. One thing is certain
such disgrace ought to be stopped for
ever. 1t will be done effectually perhaps
only when the land is parceled out in
small lots to individual owners, and if
the war between the sheep and cattle
owners continues to develop such bar
barity the sooner such division takes
place the better for civilization.
At any rate, if you do not feed wheat
outright, give all your live stock lib
eral allowance of bran and shipstuff.
The National Horse Show association
will have its annual fashionable event
at Madison Square Garden, New York
oity, from Nov. 12 to II, with $50, 900
worth of premiums, mostly divided be-
tween .hackneys and trotters. This is
New York all over 1t is the narrowest,
most provincial city in the Union. The
Chicago horse show will come later and
will be held in connection with the fat
stock display from Nov. 20 to Dec. /.
It will have q greater variety of horses.
A writer in the st. Louis Journal Of
Agriculture says he believes the present
drought and low price Of wheat coming
together will prove godsend to farm
ers, for they will thereby be forced to
learn the feeding value of wheat.
