Vegetables Under Glass.

Boston gardeners have for about 90
years grown lettuce for the New York
market, and even now it is probable that
more than half Of the lettuce grown near
Boston is consumed in the greaS metrop,
oils At first it was grown only in hot
beds, and gardeners seemed to think
that it could not be grown Of good quail
ity unless within o few inches of the
glass, but about 2S years ago some of
the gardeners of Newton and Belmont
began to experiment in building green
houses for growing lettuce, 1t was soon
found, however, that lettuce equally
good grew at several feet distant from
the glass, and that it was better to give
the roof more pitch in order to shed
snow and rain.
The houses now built for this purpose,
according to report made by the Mas
sachusetts horticultural society, have a
pitch of from 20 to 20 degrees, and some
of them are 400 feet long and 90 feet
wide, with ridge 90 feet above the
beds. 1t is found that these houses are
far better than hotbeds for winter grow
ing of lettuce and cucumbers, and the
increase of glass during the last five
years has been chiefly in the line of
greenhouses, while not few additional
houses have been covered with old hot
bed sashes. The permanent glass roof,
however, is preferable unless it is desired
toremove the roof during spring or sum
mer to work ON the beds, as is still prao
tised by some gardeners

AL ABOUT BARN CELLARS.
Their Advantages and Disadvantages as
Presented by Farmer Who Uses One.


Their Advantages and Disadvantages as
Presented by n Farmer Who Uses one.
There are two sides to the question,
Are barn cellars desirable? And it can
only be answered correctly by carefully
weighing the advantages and disadvan-
tages, taking into account personal cir
oumstances The principal advantage is
that by means of we'll constructed cell
lar all Of the manure, liquid as well as
solid, is saved and kept in good oondi-
tion. And when we consider the hungry
condition Of our fields, and the hundreds
Of thousands of dollars paid for CONNER
oial fertilizers, we may well ask our
selves If this great saving does not out
weigh all objections to barn cellars? An
experience of many years satisfies me
that cord of manure from a well built
cellar is worth 30 per cent more than
the same kind of manure when thrown
ont under a roof and twice as much as
the same kind and amount when exposed
to sun and rain.
The western method of hauling ma
nure as fast as it accumulates is not
practicable in Maine, and TO me is not
desirable. We must store manure some.
where several months in the year. Dur
ing seven or eight months of the year q
barn cellar may be utilized for hog pens,
and where the stock is largely horses it
is q good place for hogs, and they will
greatly improve the quality But if neat
stock is mostly kept it is too moist and
filthy for hogs, and they do not improve
the manure.
The objections to cellars are cost and
the consequent rapid decay Of the sills
and floors of tho barn. That they are in.
furious TO the health of animals and to
the hay stored in the barn are objections
Of no weight, for if they are properly
constructed and the barn floors are as
tight as they should be no vapors will
reach the animals or the hay above The
cellar is entirely unfit for tho storage OF
anything but manure. Wood decays very
rapidly, and iron rusts and soon becomes
worthless.
During winter the cellar should be
tightly closed, or the floors will be toe
cold for the animals, and then they are
not fit places for hogs or any other all
breathing animal to live in. Twenty
COWS kept in the barn through the win
ter and nights through the summer will
produce so cords of manure, richly
worth, as compared with commercial
fertilizers, $3.50 If we lose by not saw
ing the liquids and by evaporation one
half of this sum annually (and an
very sure we do), we can well afford t.

under our cattle. am not ready to Civ
up my barn cellar.
The foregoing is from q communica
tion in the Maine Farmer. A second cor
respondent calls attention to the impor
tant point of securing a good location
where proper drainage can be secured
The location has much to do with thei
success or failure.

FRENCH METHOD OF KEEPING MANURE.
ture and thus retards fermentation.
French authorities maintain that the
principal precautions necessary to pre-
vent losses Of ammonia consist simply
in regularly and properly watering the
manure with the teachings. In case of
drought, if the teachings are insufficient,
the lack should be made up with water
The need Of keeping manure moist is
especially marked in case of horse ma
nure, which is naturally dry and deoom-
poses with great rapidity. The same is
true in less degree of sheep manure.
The common and harmful fire fang
ing' is the result of an insufficient sup
ply of water and may be readily checked
by sprinkling. The sprinkling, how
ever, should be regularly done and the
heap kept in constant state of mois-
ture; otherwise the alternate wetting and
drying will result in q loss Of ammonia.
Preservation of manure in this manner
is generally practiced in Europe, and
the product obtained is highly esteemed
as fertilizer. 1t is very dark colored,
or even black, and acquires highly
offensive odor, while the straw in it
loses its consistency and becomes soft
and incoherent.
This black substance is held by GER
tain French agriculturists to possess
special value as q plant food. A method
employed in the preparation Of this well
rotted manure in France is as follows;
The manure is placed on slightly in.
olined plats Of packed earth or cement,
50 arranged that the teachings drain out
into pit from which they are pumped
up and distributed over the manure
heap. 1t is usual to provide two manure
plats so arranged that when one is full
! (when the manure is eight to ten feet
high it may be allowed to ferment un.
disturbed while the other is used. The
manure is carried from the stables tC
the top of the manure heap in wheelbar
rows over an inclined plane of boards
| Care is also taken to smooth down the
! sides of tho heap to prevent the too fret
access of air and the loss of teachings.
1t has been questioned whether the
! construction of expensive Cisterns fol
| collecting the manure teachings repayl
the cost, but it is obviously desirable
from what has been said regarding the
value Of the liquid manure and the dc
STABILITY of promoting regular and uni
form fermentation Of the manure tha
the teachings should be saved and add
ed to the manure heap by some means

1t has been reported by bulletin from
the New Jersey station that the results
of the experience of practical farmers
have established for crimson clover the
following points:
That it will grow in any part of New
Jersey, and that it is quite as hardy as
the common red variety.
That when seeded between July II
and Sep 10 it will mature from three
to four weeks earlier than red clover.
That, since it is an annual plant and
differs from other clovers in its time OF
growth and development, it cannot be
regarded as a substitute for them.
That the quality of the fodder and
hay is superior to that of red clover.

Use of CommercIaI FertIIlzers.

A New Jersey farmer, on being asked
by the author of Chemicals and Clo-
ver, " why he used so much fertilizers
replied:
Under the fertilizer system my crops,
grain, grass and potatoes, have fairly
doubled in size When | started the
heavy use of fertilizers, my father, an
old man, did not think it would pay
He thought we were putting too much
cash Into the ground. The old plan
was to apply just as much fertilizer as a
single crop could use and no more, as it
was thought that what the crop left
would be washed out and wasted. So
400 or 500 pounds per acre were all they
dared to use. My father could not see
how all the money spent for /, 900
pounds could come back. He lived long
enough, however, to SEQ such an increase
in the crops that he was convinced that
the heavy fertilizing pays, l am sure
the only way to make fertilizers pay is
to use lots of them. l do not know of a
single farmer who has worked up to
1900 pounds who would ever go back
to smaller quantity.

principal competitors of the Connecticut

and TO hold moisture in droughts. In
very dry weather water can be run into
the upper part of this system of drains
and allowed to run down through. In
hot, dry countries where few stones are
found perforated pipes are used. Mr..
w. S. Marshall Of Texas thus describes
a system in quite general use in sections
of that state.
The water is distributed by means of
pipes placed in the ground below the
reach Of the plow. These pipes may be
Of thin, perforated metal, of clay til.
ing or they may be made of cement in
a continuous line and the sides perfo-
rated at intervals to allow the water to
rhn out and soak into the soil. Subirri.
cation by this method effects q great
economy Of water All that used goes
just where it is wanted to produce the
best results. There is no baking of the
surface and comparatively little loss
from evaporation. One thousand gallons
will water properly and sufficiently as
many trees or plants by this method of
distribution as would 5000 gallons by
surface application. The windmill is
located outside of the lot. Water is con.
Quoted in an iron pipe TO the reservoir,
cypress tank with a capacity of 9, 900
gallons. This is located in the center
of the plot irrigated.
See figure, in which o represents the
tank, or reservoir, 3 3 and small
pools in which the header pipes termi-
nate, and header pipes and y y
distributing pipes Figures 5 are 4
inch header pipes made out of cement.
They connect with pools 3 3 and 4,
located near the reservoir. These pools
are common kerosene barrels The
lines are the lateral pipes. These
are % inch cement pipes and are perfor.
ated, three-sixteenth inch hole being
made every eight feet, alternately on
either side. In applying the water full
! tank is drawn into one of the pools,
whence the water runs evenly over the
| section covered by the system of pipes
| connected Herewith. AS will be seen,
| there are four sections Of pipes to cover
the whole lot. Each section covers about
an acre. The lateral pipes u = y are 16
| feet apart, are closed at one end, as are
the header pipes. There is no outlet to
the pipe except the small punotures
along the laterals. 1t will be seen that
tank of water discharged into the pool
is at once conducted evenly over the
section connected Herewith. Peach,
apricot and other fruit trees are set
along the lines of the pipes, and grape
vines between the rows. The pipes used
in this system are of cement perforated
at intervals.
Rural New Yorker believes that this
plan could be successfully worked on
small garden spots with comparatively
little expense. The late A. N. Cole, who
practiced this plan ON large scale,
constructed a series of bitches on a
rather steep hillside and filed them
with stones. These held moisture, and
in time of severe drought water could
be run i'll from hydrant.
