Level Culture for Potatoes,

Almost everybody now agrees that
level culture produces the largest and
best crops of potatoes. But it is i'm
possible to have level culture unless
the seed potatoes are planted deep
enough for the tubers to form under
the soil. The constant tendency of the
tubers is to rise as they grow. This, if
the seed has been planted only one or
two inches deep, makes it necessary to
draw dirt around the bill, making a
mound which sheds the water on
either side. This also cuts the pota-
to roots in the middle of the row. It
requires dry and rich ground to make
successful deep planting and level cul-
ture possible. But soil without stag
nant water near the surface is always
necessary for the potato crop. If the
subsoil is filled with water through
winter and spring it is impossible to
grow good potato crops on such land
the following season by any method.

FARM AND GARDEN.
cARBAGE-RooT MAGGOT,

Tho Best Method Of Fighting This
Troublesome Garden Pest.
Although called the cabbage-root
maggot, this insect will also feed on
the roots Of cauliflower, borecole, Brus-
sells sprouts, radish, collard, broccoli,
rutabaga turnip, winter cress and
hedge mustard. Many remedies have
been recommended for this pest. The
only preventive that has proved ef-
fectual on large scale is the tarred
paper disc. These discs, which should
measure three inches in diameter, are
made Of thin roofing felt, being cut by
a special tool, the dotted lines in the
diagram showing the position of the
edge Of the tool. The discs should be
placed about the plants at the time Of
transplanting. By bending the card
slightly the slit will open sufficiently to
admit the stem of the plant to the
center, after which the card should be
spread out, and the points formed by
the star-shaped cut should be pressed
snugly about the stem. It is essential
that the ground be smooth when the
cabbage plants are transplanted, and
the discs must be pressed close to
the ground, leaving no chance for the
flies to crawl under them.
As a preventive measure would only
cause the flies to abandon the cabbage

NEW BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
Better Than the One Now SO Largely
Used In This Country.

Better Than the One Now SO Largely
Used In This Country.
At meeting of the National Agri-
cultural society of France an improved
Bordeaux mixture was suggested with
the object of removing certain objec-
tions to the one now SO largely used in
this country. 1t has the advantage
over the ole mixture in being less in
furious to foliage, less liable to be
washed away by rains, and less liable
to choke the nozzle of the spraying
machine. The new formula is as fol-
lows: Quicklime, 4 pounds ounces;
OF copper, pounds ounces; water, %
gallons. The essential difference be-
tween the new andold formulas is the
presence of the molasses, which has a
greater influence than would at first be
expected. The method of mixing is to
add the molasses to thirteen gallons OF
water, then slack the lime and add
four and one-half gallons Of water to
form milk of lime. Pour this slowly
into the sweetened water, stirring
briskly in order to mix intimately.
Next, in third (wooden) vessel dis
solve the bluestone and pour this into
the previous mixture, stirring we'll.
In this blending of materials chemical
changes are taking place. When the
milk of lime and sweetened solution
are intimately mixed together. then
saccharate of lime is formed. Next,
when to this is added the solution Of
sulphate of copper, double decom-
position takes place; suphate of lime is
formed on the one hand and soluble
saccharate of copper on the other.
This saccharate of copper is only
formed in presence of an excess of lime,
and its formation is indicated by the
mixture assuming beautiful greenish
tinge. Thus the mixture is rendered
alkaline, and the acid is neutralized
by the lime.

HOW TO CUT.

or caulif1ower crops for some other
plant, the Geneva station recommends
that a direct remedy be used in con-
junction with it. Carbolic acid in the
form of an emulsion is the most FEAST
BILE. The proportions are, one pound
hard soap or one quart soft soap
dissolved in one gallon boiling water,
one pint crude carbolic acid; the
whole should be we'll churned to form
an emulsion, when thirty parts water
should be added to one of the mixture.
1t should be applied in solid stream.
When the maggots have worked their
way into the roots of the plant a short
distance the only remedy is carbon
bisulphide. This must be applied
carefully below the roots, and not on
them, as the liquid will kill all the
roots with which it comes In contact.
The requisite proportion is one tea
spoonful to each plainly. Y. World.

A New Use for Oranges.

Orange soup, indeed most of the fruit
soups are best cold, and therefore are
best suited to a hot day. To make

fruit-juice is necessary. Put over the
fire in double boiler, add to it half
cupful of graduated sugar. Moisten
two tablespoonfuls Of arrowroot with
a little cold orange-juice or with
water, and add to the hot juice. Stir
until it is perfectly smooth and begins
to thicken. Cool and add two table
spoonfuls Of curacao. the flavor OF

Causes Of Impure Milk.

The principal causes of impure milk
are: Impure air in the milking place,
bad food, foul water and filth; and as
they are all causes readily controlled,
they are inexcusable. The farmer who
exposes his cows to such conditions has
no right to complain of low prices and
lack of customers. On the contrary, he
should be fined for imperiling the pub
lie health by attempting to place on
the market a tainted article which is
liable to spread disease. If farmers
would only unite and bind themselves
to observe scrupulous cleanliness in all
the branches of milk production they
might readily double its consumption.
The ''cowy" odor and the black sedi-
ment are the greatest hindrances to
the rapid development of the industry.
