Wood ashes are most suitable
fertilizer for potatoes-in fact, the
very best. After the ground is pre-
pared. furrow rather deeply; and if
YOU can distribute the ashes by
means of grain drill, using three
teeth in each open furrow where the
potatoes are to be planted, and by
stopping the others up, you. will
have the ideal method and condl-
tions. Or distribute the ashes in the
burrows and mix in the soil by rum
ming single-toothed cultivator or
some similar implement in the fur
row. If you had a modified subsoil
pillow for this purpose, it would be
most efficient in mixing the ashes
and in breaking up the hardpan so
that the feeding roots of the potato
es might go deep enough into the
soil to withstand drouth. There is
little danger ofputting on too many;
400 to 800 bushels per acre will do
no harm, if they are fairly well mix
ed with the soil 1t should be re-
membered that it is one thing to
furnish plant food for a crop and
another to get the conditions SO that
the plants may avail themselves Of
it. Nothing can go into the circula-
ton of a plant except by means OF
water; SO the conservation of moist
ure on light lands, during the hot
part of the Summer, is of prime i'm
portance The best way to conserve
water is by surface mulching with
earth. This is secured by frequent
and late level surface cultivation of
the potatoes. They are deeprooted,
and therefore the culture may be
somewhat deeper than for corn.
Whenever the ground becomes seal
ed over from the effects of heavy
rain, break the crust as soon as the
land viii work, and in any case
cultivate until late in the season
about every ten days, or even often

Canning Peas.

Green peas are readily salable at
all seasons of the year. Recently
one of the largest vessels that ever
came into Philadelphia brought
hundreds of tons of canned French"
peas from England. They do not
differ in the least from the kind
grown in this country every year
Why can not farmers grow peas in
large quantities for canning purpos-
esq BY cooperative effort an outfit
for canning peas could beintroduced
in every community, not only pro-
viding a profit to growers, but also
affording employment to many in
picking and hulling the peas.

A fault in handling farm horses,
of which not a few of us are guilty,
is to keep them idle much of the
time. If work is properly managed,
horses can be used 234 days out OF
the year. Ground can be plowed in
the Fall, fence material be hauled
in place, wood be sledded up and
gullies be filled in the Winter.
When work is SO managed, less
horses will suffice than when their
work is put into $50 days of the
year. | find that our horses work
on an average Of above $50 days Of
the year and have lasted an average
of fifteen years.

FARM Notes.



head.
Almost anything can be planted
in the garden now.
Bv manuring the land thoroughly
frequent cropping will not impover-
ish it.
Plum and cherry trees need little
pruning, the latter the least of any
variety of fruit.
With the grape the spraying
should begin as soon as the leaves
begin to develop.
Once a good start of small fruits
is secured it is easy to grow an
abundant supply.
Pear trees are inclined to grow
too close in the center and need
careful trimming out.
See that the center of the apple
tree is kept trimmed out, and that
all dead limbs are cut off.
Implements used in the orchard
should be those that will thoroughly
stir the surface and mellow the soil.
A safe rule in fruit growing is to
grow few varieties and give such
care as is necessary to grow them
we'll.
Trees will make growth of leaves
and wood on thin soil, but they
require mineral manures to perfect
good fruit.
With the grape a few strong, Wig
orous canes will bear better and
yield more fruit than large num-
Der of weak ones.
In using Paris green for spraying,
care must be taken not to make the
solution too strong; there is danger
of burning the foliage.
Thorough surface cultivation will
prevent the growth of red raspber-
ry suckers between the rows. Begin
it before they get too good a start.
Arrange so that the newly plant
ed orchard can be cultivated as
thoroughly as the corn and potatoes.
Then mulch before hot, dry wealth
er sets In.
Wood ashes are better and more
perfect fertilizer for a young orchard
than stable manure. There is no
advantage in forcing the growth of
fruit trees too rapidly.
1t is important to see that the
soil is made firm around the stems
of the newly-set trees. Otherwise
the hard winds will loosen the roots
and often blow the trees over.
An apple or cherry tree is more
valuable if it shoots out low. By
trimming from the top the lower
branches will grow out. The trim
ming can be done at any time now.
The planting of some fruit trees
every year is practice which keeps
the grower ever supplied with fruits
from fresh and vigorous trees and
also informed concerning the new
varieties.
In order to destroy the weeds
easily in the garden cultivation
must be commenced as soon as they
get fairly above ground and then be
repeated as often as new crop
starts up.
A small and frequently trans
planted tree grows more readily
than one never disturbed. Each
time the roots are disturbed there
is tendency to form fresh fibrous
roots at once.
1t is better to cut away the dead
wood from trees, even if the tree is
dis6gured, than to allow it to re-
main. This is especially true of the
peach, which thrives best with Sc
we're cutting back.
One of the best implements with
which to begin cultivation in the
garden is sharp steel rake or a
rake attachment to a garden Guilt
vator. brightly used either of these
will destroy the weeds and fine the
surface.
1t pays to rake over the lawn
carefully with a sharp steel rake.
Not only will the old leaves and
dead grass be gathered up, but the
soil will be loosened around the

HOOD CANAL, March 20, 1895.
Died at the Skokomish reservation,
March s, Andrew Johnson, aged about
forty-six years.
The middle finger on the right hand
of Mrs. David Charley was amputated
last week by DIR. E. Barry, assisted by
DR.. G. ". Kennicott 1t was injured
during the winter. after which blood
poisoning set in, causing the whole
arm to swell banly and nearly causing
the loss of life. By wise medical
treatment, however, that danger was
averted, but the finger became dead,
and forever useless, and hence was
amputated at the lowest joint, the
patient being under the influence of
ether. The wound now seems to be
doing well.
Colonel Mccormick, Indian Inspec-
tor, while here about two weeks ago,
stated plainly that he should recon-
mend the closing of the boarding
school on the reservation after the first
Of next July. Cause, citizenship, civili-
zatien, and too much white blood
among the scholars. He seemed to
think that Assistant Commissioner
Smith, who was here last summer, as
Inspector. would also favor it, and
hence that his recC mmendation would
be adopted. He would however re-
commend the establishing eff a day
school about the middle of the reser-
walton, with some rations and clothes
to be given to the scholars as an in
duCemeut TO them to attend.

gencer says was invisible at Seattle

OLYMPIA has always claimed our
oyster industry, and sealed its title by
attaching its name to all the oysters
produced in this end of the Sound,
nine-tenths of which are cultivated
and gathered within the confines of
OF Mason County. Likewise with the
logging industry, an Olym.pian CORES
pendent for the Puget Sonnd Lum
herman. claims the extensive logging
industry of Mason County; as tribu-
tary to that city. The JOURNAL has
little complaint to make over this
matter except that it would be of more
direct benefit to Shelton and Mason
County, if it were generally known
that Mason County today produces
and ships more oysters and more logs
than any other county in the state.
While the part of this product gather
in other parts of the County is gen
orally shipped to the consumer direct,
and only that produced on this bay is
handled through Shelton, still they
are tributary to the County Seat of
Mason County,-Shelton. This place
is the largest log producing town on
the Sound, and the industries of the
County are, directly and indirectly,
tributary to Shelton.
