Manure for the Garden.

The truck gardener uses home and COM
mercial fertilizers more freely than any
other class of farmers, says the American
Cultivator One main essential for a
good crop of early and tender vegetables
is highly fertile soil, and this fertility
must be sustained throughout the year
We learn more from these truck garden
ers what a square yard of soil will yield
than from the large general farms. Gen
orally the garden is situated near a
good market, and land is so valuable that
every foot must be utilized. Land is
more valuable than manure in their case,
while on many large farms the reverse is
the case. A GOOD truck gardener will
make a half dozen acres support himself
and family in comfort, while many a
farmer falls behind every year on 50 or
100 acre farm. The difference, after all,
is largely in the methods pursued by the
two men.
The truck farmer teaches us the value
and necessity of intensive farming. Re
duce the size of the farm so that every
square yard can be thoroughly cultivated
II improves the soil as well as increasing
the yield. This is the reason why many
small kitchen gardens of farmers are
richer and more productive than the gen.
eral fields. They devote more time in its
cultivation, and incidentally increase its
fertility. Menuring a garden is not
simply applying manure, but is also stir
ring up the elements of the soil so that
they can be used as plant food The av-
erage field is allowed to grow over with
weeds at some time, and after the crop is
well under way, the soil cannot be5fertil-
led or cultivated. Owing to the absence
of air and light in il, a great deal of the
fertliGng elements naturally in the
| ground is lost to the crop.
In the market garden there is a eontin-
ual cropping and an almost uninterrupted
use of the land. One crop is gathered
and another is Immediately planted.
| More manure is used and plowed and
| narrowed in. The soil gets soft, mellow
| and warm. Weeds are kept down by the
continual cultivation, and the market
! gardener can continue to use this same
| soil year after year without its running
| out In other words this continual
! cultivation, use and manuring of the soil
is the surest way to keep it strong and
fertile.
We need plenty of available plant food
| in our soil, and it must be put there lib
orally and in the best form. But one of
the most common things is to let great
deal of this go to waste. The land is not
cultivated sufficently to make the food
available for the plants 1t conseq uently
leaks down into the subsoil in the course
of time or is wasted away Very often
our apparently infertile soils do not seem
to improve with the heavy application of
manure but when they are cultivated
continually, and crops are taken of and
others put in, the land gradually i'm
proves. This is due simply to the fact
that continual cultivation often fertiliZes
as much as the manure does.

not choose to make that equal division

Will want more of one vegetable than
another perhaps.
For convenience of getting about we
may choose to throw away the center
row for the time and count the space into
a walk or cart-way. Our own preference,
however, is to make use of the whole
tWenty-four rows and using certain mid
dies for temporary walks, p,owing them
up from time to time as new paintings
are made.
Commencing on one side of our plat we
would plant III adjoining rows the several
vegetables that would mature about the
same time from paintings made about
the same time. There are some crops
that will occupy land but ten or twelve
weeks. or even less time, but the ma jority
of those we have named require a longer
period than that.
irish potatoes, cabbage, early corn,
onions. beets and other roots planted in
February mature about the same time
and are ready to yield their space to
other crops in June or early in July, and
the gardener who understands how to
follow one crop promptly with another,
IN some instances starting one crop be-
fore the other has been taken out of the
way, can make the land produce two,
ottentimes three crops in twelve months
time.

Eulogy on the Blue Grass Girl.

Every few days some abortion of man
hood, with more brass than brains, jumps
up with an essay on girls. This abomina-
bic class of literature always begins with
a sneer and ends with kick A distinct
favor of sourness permeats it. The gen.
uine girl is absolutely unreasonable No
body understands her; she doesn't under
stand herself. She is a delightful bundle
of contradictions. AS wise as serpent,
she is as innocent as any sucking dove
She is as modest as a violet and sweet as
a barrel of molasses. She is as rosy as
winter apple and as plump as an Indian
summer partridge. She knows some
thing about the piano and lots about maxi
ing biscuit. She is tender with her
sweetheart and sets the dog on the other
fellow. She is an armful of delights, and
blessed is the youth she takes into part
nership in wearing out the sofa. She is
daisy and dumping, and in all Gods

to be named in the same breath with her.

An Insect Pest.

A destructive insect is the Heliothis
Armlgera with its various aliases; boil
worm, corn worm, tomato worm, ETC.,
while the SPHINX caterpillar is more COM
monlv designated as the tomato worm,
still the Heliothis (boll worm) does decid-
edly more damage to tomatoes than it
does and there appears toll be no remedy
AGAINST it. The SPHINX worm feeds only
IN the foliage of the tomato, as it does
upon tobacco and Irish potatoes. 1t is
quite easily detected, too, and can be cir
Cumvented. The worm OF which we are
making this note we shall continue to call
by the more common name, "boll worm"
In examining to-day our patch of
AGNES, which are just beginning to ripen
the first fruit, we find it to be the case
almost invariably that large proportion
of the largest tomatoes are ruined by this
insect on each vine, twoor three of the
finest being bored into.
EntomoligiSts are confronted with a
problem in regard to the depredations of
the boil worm that is not easy to solve.
Thus far there is no suggestion of a
remedy that can be made to protect either
corn or cotton or tomatoes. In fighting
the caterpillar itself, poison is not avail
able, and it would appear that about the
only thing that can be done that NAV
have some effect in mitigating damage is
to trap the moth that lays the egg.
The HeliOthis moth is night flyer and
unless it can be trapped or prisoned be-
fore it lays its eggs on one or the other of
the plants that it infest, there is little
or nothing that can be done to lessen the
damage. In the garden the two vegetables,
corn and tomatoes, invite the attacks of
the boil worm about the same time. If a
number of ordinary fruit jars be sus-
Tod bapp and fharp in tho nd 70
mato plants, elevating them about four
to five feet above the ground and putting
into each jar several inches of sweetened
water with little venegar in it, a goodly
number of moths NAV be exterminated,
and we believe, would have a marked
effect in lessening the injury. If all the
growers in a neighborhood would co-ope-
rate together and suspend these traps
promptly as the corn begins to form ears
and the tomatoes to set frlit, it is posi-
bic that almost complete protection might
be afforded.

than thirty-two kinds, all of which he
had discarded excepting Sharpless, Cres-
cent and Wilson. The Wilson is the most
slandered berry in existence, but it con-
tinues to lead, and will for many years be
the mainstay as a market berry. In many
localities IL turns red before it is ripe,
and in this state it is usually sent TO mar
ket. When thoroughly ripe its slightly
acid favor is very agreeable, and super
Tor to many highly praised varieties,
whose inSipid taste causes one soon TO
tire of them. The Crescent stands
neglect better than any other kind
in fact, it yields the largest crop
under the matted-bed system, but the
fruit is small and inferior in quality.
The Sharpless on strong, heavy land,
well MANFRED and kept in rows. with
runners cut and clean cultivation, eX-
ceeds all others in size, yield and quality,
remains longer in bearing, and furnish
ing berries, if perly managed, for sew
eral weeks. No matter how much the
market may be glutted they always find
a ready sale at good prices. Last season
they never brought less than 20 cents per
quart in our market, while CrescenJs and
others We're selling as low as cents,
bushels of them spelling, not even finding
sale at that price.
The thinning out should be done with
reference to the variety. The SharpleSs
does well for some in hills, but rarely in
matted rows. The Wilson does better
in Illuminated rows, while the
Crescent should be quite thick.
The raising of small fruits for the mar
ket is very nice and remunerative
business when properly managed but it
requires rare business tact and exacting
care and attention. Very few farms
make sufficient manure for over three to
five acres of SMALL fruits. After taking
two, or at the very outside three, crops
of berries from a plantation, it should be
turned under and put into something
else. No one has ever really tasted a
strawberry until he grows it himself;
berries bought in market bear about the
same relation TO a freshly-picked berry
from your bed that half-rotten apple
does to a sound, ripe one. Mr.. Hale of
Glastonbury, Conn, a recognized author
ity on small fruits, now plants in hills,
laying the ground off in check rows. I
have not tried this system, but from the
fact of Mr.. Hale's adopting it am salts
fed it will be a success.

Ranch. Where only two or three sows are
kept and they are all the hogs on the place,

she is expected TO farrow her ration

the risk of loss in almost every wayjf the

BILE pains TO look after her condition in

made, with either middling and skim
milk, or ground oats and skim milk. If
neither eff these can be secured readily

sure that it is reasonably sweet, as at no
time is it advisable 70 give SOW that is
sucking a litter Of pigs sour or fermentcd
food Keep her quiet, but give her the
bucket of slop, all she will drink, as
nearly as possible, as soon as she shows
disposition TO get up. If this is done it
will satisfy her appetite, and usually she
will lay down and be contented 1t is not
best to feed her too much or too rich food
for the first two or three days,
then richer ana more food can be
given her until she is given all that
She will eat at each meal Usu-
ally it is not good plan, and especially
so with a sow with her first litter, to
give too much range until the pigs have
learned to run about well, as she is liable
TO make them travel too much at first
When they are almost ten days old, if the
sow has been given good treatment, there
is usually very little trouble after this
time. Whatever tends to excite or fret
sow at this time is an injury to her or her
pigs, and it is best to make all Of the ar
rangements for comfort and feeding in
advance, so that for time, at least, she
can be kept as quiet as possible 1t is u
good plan to handle her so that any time
that it may be necessary to work with
her, it can be done without unnecessarily
exciting her But the least she is dis
turbed the better for her and her pigs.

if you will meet all the requirements.
B. Is it so that you can run harrow
through the middles drumming twisej
without damaging the cotton materially?
If you can do this, we would advise you
to prepare for sowing by narrowing, and
then sow the seed, making an effort to
get them in just before rain. You do
not say when you propose to sow. On a
part of your plat suppose you try some
burr clover, to see which will best suit
your land, and on an acre try sowing a
peck of rye seed, with twenty pounds of
crimson clover. The latter, as well as
the burr, is bound to prove blessing to
many southern farmers.
