Tomatoes For Winter Forcing.

Some growers use the seed plants,
while others propagate the tops Of the
seed plants, and perhaps this is the bet
ter plan Of the two. Whichever plan is
adopted the plants should receive great
care, to prevent them from suffering in
any way, which they are very apt to do
if not looked after, because in order to
keep the plants stOcky they need to be
grown in exposed positions and not al
lowed very much pot room till they are
put into their fruiting pots, which
should be about 10 inches in diameter
According to American Gardening, pots
are better than benches for early crops,
but for later spring purposes, or sue

eight inches Of soil answer very we'll

Lorillard and Early Ruby, and some

tainly will not produce fruit so early as
either of the others, nor yet in so great

THE MODERN CORN BINDER.

Its Use and the Manner of Operating II
AS Described by American Agriculturist
The great American money crop is
corn. A loss or partial failure of a sin
gle crop amounts to calamity Ma
chinory for preparing the ground, plant
ing the seed and cultivating the grow
ing plant has been improved upon, but
the one great drawback is the lack of a
practical implement for husking stand
ing corn. This has not yet appeared.
However, the same object is being par
tally accomplished in somewhat
roundabout way by means of the corn
binder and the combined husker and
fodder shredder. All corn cannot be
husked by this plan, as it neccSsitates
cutting shocking and running the cured
fodder through the husller, but improved
corn binders have made this practice
more common than would have been
possible a few years ago. The greater
appreciation for corn fodder and its
wide use have created Il demand for
better corn harvesting machinery
Several firms have produced corn
binders which are on the market this
season. These operate Oh practically the
same principle, differing i'll details of
construction. The machine is drawn by
two horses and cuts one row at a time.
The stalks are cut off near the ground,
or about S inches above it, and carried,
st nding on end, in an upright position,
to Il modified form of the ordinary har-
vester binder and bound in bundles,
common binding Irvine being used. The
bundles are then discharged to one side,
leaving room for the machine to pass in
cutting the next row. 1t can be adjusted
to short or tall corn and tilted up on
down III order to pick up fallen or lean
ing stalks. The bundles are Shocked
much as are wheat sheaves.
Sorghum. Kafiir corn, Milo maize
and similar forage plants have beer
successfully harvested with the corr
binder. If ordinary shock corn is de
sired, begin cutting when the blades
have begun to turn, which in centra

about Sept. to 10. Place the bundles
in good sized shocks, taking care not tt

cured sufficiently, haul to the barnyarC
and run the fodder through a huske
and shredder The ears will come on

ton for stock feed.

Renewing Queens In Autumn.

A correspondent writes as follows IL
The Canadian Bee journal:
90 around just after the honey har-
vest is over and hunt up all the colonies
containing old queens, or colonies that
did not winter well or do but little for
me through the season. All such queens
l kill as soon as l can after the flow,
before the drones are all destroyed.
Just let those hives start and rear cells.
About eight days after go through and
destroy all cells where | do not wish
any queens reared Then l go to some
hive where l killed an old queen that
had previously done we'll and take out
cells and distribute them in the other
hives where | had destroyed all cells.
They will all accept them, and in few
days will have young queens and from
good stock Such queens are almost
sure to do well for one season, provid-
ing they are properly wintered. If l
wish to change the blood in few of my
colonies, | would send to some reliable
dealer and get queens and have them
ready to put right in when the other
ones Were killed My experience III su-
perseding i'll this way, and at the above
time, is this: 1t prevents the colonies
from using up lot Of stores in rearing
young bees only to die off and help to
clog up the entrance in the winter
Where there il fall flow, it would
probably be better to have young laying
queens - replace the old ones.

The farmers congress will meet at
Atlanta Oct. 1915.
According to reports from London,
England has this year the largest apple
crop that has been seen for many sea-
SONS
1t is reported that the German potato
crop is a failure.
1t is claimed that this year 5 corn crop
will be the largest ever grown in the
United States.
While the American hay crop is ex-
traordinarily short, the same is true in
England.

pensations. Corn fodder and straw will
be economical as never before.

Points In Celery Culture.

1t is we'll known that the celery plant
delights in rich and moist soil, and
those who have the opportunity to use
liquid manure in the cultivation Of this
plant have great advantage over 9TH
ers. In addition TO this. some cultivat-
Ors who grow the celery for market are
introducing water artificially, and find
it to be ii profitable practice. In this
connection Meehan's Monthly cites a
grower in Allegheny City, Pa, who has
"A supply pipe from one of the city water
mains SO arranged that at the end
where the flow commences guano or
some other artificial fertilizer can be
placed i'll the water pipes. He can get
double the crop from the same ground
as by the ordinary methods, and stalks
that bring much higher price in mar
Set.

KITCHEN AND HOUSE Stops.
Disposal by Barrel and Cart or Houa,
ID ain and Cor.pnnl.

Drain and Ccsspool.
One of the chief problems of the aver
age village or suburban resident H. the
disposal Of the ordinary kitchen and
house slops. The primitive method is t.
simply throw them out and let them 90
where they may. The result is adamp,
disease breeding spot located under Tho
very noses of the family, to generate tic
germs Of typhoid fever, malaria, flies
and host Of the other ills of the suburb
an resident. In most cases nature docs
all it can TO countcract the sins of man
kind, and these "slop holes" are usually
partially concealed and covered up with
a growth Of rank weeds, useless and un-
slightly except as they may absorb tho
disease germs or hide the mud and
filthy debris Of the Stops. Such a condi-
ton of things is simply intolerable and
should be forbidden by law.
The most common system Of dispOs
ing Of Stops is by an ordinary tile drain
running from the house sink to suDkon
barrel or bottomless cistern of brick or
stone-a cesspooL This system removes
the filth from the surface and hides it
from the sight and for time at least
from the SMELL Instead Of scattering
the wastes to the four winds Of heaven
it concentrates it in hole to ferment
and rot. The result is the deadly sewer
gas and intolerable stenches The cess
pool and drain are only tolerable when
they are thoroughly drained and trapped
and cleaned out at least twice a week.
The third and. according to a writer
in American Gardening, the only feast
BILE, healthy and convenient method of
disposing If house sewerage where there
are 10 village water and sewerage sys-
tens is to lead pipe directly from the
s:nl; to a barrel, the barrel removed by
II cart a often as may be necessary and
its contents dumped about the grape
vines, mutt trees or III times # drought
upon lie vegetable or flower garden.
. We Will assume Of course that garbage
is burned on fed to the chickens, and
that the modern earth closet is used i'll
the house 1t is really astonishing how
easily the Stops of an ordinary family
may be removed by the barrel and cart
and how completely they are dispersed
by dumping them ON the surface of the
soil 1t is probable that the Stops treated
in this way are worth, for fertilizing
purposes, all the trouble of disposing of
them.

THE SWEET POTATO CROP.
How Fancy Sweets Are stored and Sold
by New Jersey Growers.

How Fancy Sweets Are stored ana sold
by New Jersey Growers.
The best form of storehouse is one
story building with basement with
the heater in the basement An ordinary
beating stove is used. The size depends
on the size of the house. The tighter
and better built it is the less heat it
will require to heat it. The floor should
be on level with an ordinary wagon
body. This will allow unloading and
loading without any heavy lifting. The
marketable potatoes may be stored on
the first floor and the seed and feeding
potatoes in the basement Provision
should also be made III the basement for
a coal bin. The potato bins should all
have false bottoms raised two or three
set the same distance from the walls to
give free ventilation all around the po-
tatoes. 1t is better to have the bins divld-
ed by partitions every three or four feet.
This will allow the taking out small
quantity without disturbing the rest,
and will also allow filling the bins clear
to the ceiling 1t will do no harm to
have the potatoes piled seven or eight
feet deep if the filling is done carefully.
Potatoes should never be moved or
disturbed III any way unless they are to
be disposed of at once, as many will rot
in few days after being moved. The
temperature should be kept at 80 or 100
degrees while the house is being filled,
and for week or so afterward, giving
free ventilation all the time. This dries
them out quickly and carries them
through 1.-THE sweat" in a short time,
making what is called kiln dried
sweet After they are through sweat
ing, and the sprouts are just beginning
to show ON the tops Of the bins, the
temperature should be lowered to 90 OF
GO degrees and kept there. The more
even the temperature the better they
/ vii keep. Ii is not necessary to have d
/ house like the above in order to keeT
sweets successfully, however. ANY room
or cellar i'll which a dry, even temper
/ allure can be maintained Will keel
them.
Sweets sell best put up in ordinary
-four barrels, holding three bushel,
each If shipped to distant market
they should be double headed. If the
distance is not over $50 or 200 miles
burlap covers will do just as well. Ii
cold weather the barrels should be lineC
with two or three thicknesses of ole
newspapers. A small bunch Of hay OF
straw placed on top will prevent The
potatoes from being bruised i'll transit
The foregoing is from a VinelanC
On. j. grower of fancy sweets to Th'
Rural New Yorker. This grower advise
starting IA few potatoes at time at reg
liar intervals, say every other day, un
til your mark is known. Then i'll
week or two you may send a shipmen
every day, and if your stock is good an'
honestly packed you may snap your fin
gers at the fluctuations in the market.

Storing Irish Potatoes.

The conditions for keeping potatoes
are very simple. These conditions, as
briefly stated by Country Gentleman,
are "a uniform, cool temperature in "a
place that is neither too wet nor too
dry. In an ordinary cellar where the
temperature can be kept at about 40 de-
grees and where no water soaks upon
the flow, they can be stored ten feet deep
and in amy quantity. If the bottom is
damp, it should be covered with Stats
raised three or four inches. The above
statement covers all points to be OBJ
served in the construction of store
house OF keeping its contents.

CONering Ensilage.

The best covering is one that is cool
and moist willie at the same time eX
GLIDING air the best. Many have used
very successfully green or even wet
weeds and grass. This soon rots sufii-
GENTLY to form an almost impclviuus
stratum over the surface. Usually ;,boui
two feet Of tramped damp green ma
terial is used. 1t is expected of course
that this Will all rot down into a soft,
Shiny mass. If the heat is very great III
the 81 10, which it is likely to be if the
material put i'll is rather dry, this COW
ering may become fire fanged and dry
instead Of rotten. The object of using
water and trampling ensilage is to cause
a better solidification, thereby excluding
more air than if left unwet and I'M
tramped and to arrest the heating of the
material
Ensilage appears to be better if it
heats after being put in the silo but
this heating should be arrested in a
short time, or it will produce mold. As
to the quantity of water, that should
depend altogether on the character Of
the material put in. Only judgment can
direct this matter If the corn is quite
immature, there should be no occasion
for watering it. If it is mature and dry
then it would bear considerable water,
especially at the surface. There are no
exact experiments as yet which Indicate
what method should be practiced or
what material should be used in cover
ing a silo to secure best results -Coun-

Bora1 as a Fruit Preservative.

Here is what Rural New Yorker says
Of it: A boraX producer in California is
said to be experimenting with this sub
stance as a fruit preservative. The fresh
fruit is to be packed in barrels with the
powdered boraX. A shipment of cherries
packed in this way reached Chicago in
"prime condition. This is far more
honest than it is to buy . cents worth
Of borax, mix it with little salt, sugar,
etc, name it "Preservaline, and sell
Il for 30 cents, but it will not prove
profitable. Borax should not be used ON
lru.t just before it is to be eaten. While
it will undoubtedly keep the fruit in
fresh condition, it is injurious to health,
and the health boards in large cities
where fruit is sold will surely prohibit
its use.
