Still Raging.

HARBog SPRINGS, Mich, Sept 1.-The
Beaver island forest fire is still raging and
making considerable Roadway. People on
the morning boat say farmers are leaving
their fields and flocking TO St james and
the coast. The fire is raging on the high
lands. 1t is thought to have been started
by fishing party.
Between the fire and St. James Is big
swamp which, it is hoped, will check the
flames. Many thousand dollars worth of
valuable timber has already been destroy

clnders fall on the main land. and the
blaze could be seen at Cross village thirty
miles away. The forests run to ST. James
and if the fire crosses the swamp it may
burn the town.

Unless very careful provision is MAIDS
for conserving the fertility in farm ma
nures, it is far better under ordinary cir
cumetances to draw them directly from
the stables during the winter on pas
lures, meadows or fields which will be
devoted to corn the coming year. Spread
thinly from the wagon. Circumstances
and kinds Of crops raised must to linn
tied extent indicate when, where and
how to apply manures, but good rule
to keep in mind is to spread thinly and
evenly on the surface in fall and early
winter where plants are growing. This,
says Country Gentleman, is natures
method of utilizing her waste vegetable
products. The authority quoted also
says:
Tt is seldom good plan to pillow ma
nure under Immediately after it is
spread. That which is put upon the
fields in the fall will have largely lost
it's fertilizing constituents by spring.
They will then be found in the soil OF
stored up in plant roots ready for the
coming season. 1t will then do no harm
to pillow under the corpse since the spirit
has largely departed. Since all the
manure cannot be applied in the best
possible manner on account of season
and conditions, it is we'll to preserve as
far as possible that made in the latter
part Of the winter and spring until Sep
TENDER, when it will be fairly fine. 1t
can then be spread on the fresh plowed
land and narrowed in preparatory to
seeding to wheat or rye, Or it may be
spread evenly over grass lands.

Cranberries are again reported short
crop, though not as short as last year.
Reports from the principal onion grow
ing districts in the country indicato
that the crop is at least 25 per cent
larger than that of last year.
In most of the canning districts the
tomato crop was only about half the
acreage of last year and the yield only
about half as heavy. But the amount Of
stock carried over was very heavy.
The pack of canned peaches is report
ed light owing to the high prices Of
fresh fruit.
The corn crop is doubtless the largest
ever grown in view of extent of area.
The wheat product of the United
States will, it is believed. not be far
from 450, 000,00 bushels.
Tt is estimated by Ezra Meeker, the
leading grower and shipper of hops in
the state of Washington, that the crop
will not be more than half that of for
mer years.
The assistant statistician OF the de-
partment of agriculture says that the
year 1895 is noted for "a restricted area
and widespread failure of cotton and
winter wheat. joined with largely in
creased extent Of corn and potatoes. -
A Maine correspondent of The New
England Homestead writes: Cabbages

How to Irrigate.

A writer who has observed methods
in California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming,
Nebraska and other states has concluded
"a the bes9 method is the old and we'll
known one of gravitation, taking the
water from streams and conveying in
bitches to the land where it is to be
used. Subirrigation, where it is prao-
ticable, gives good results. Where water
is raised by pumping with a lift of 10
to 40 feet water wheel or turbine con
nected with centrifugal pump is cheap
est and most satisfactory, Windmills
for lifting water for the ordinary farm
er S garden or small truck farming are
desirable, provided wooden tanks are
used or the soil is such that watertight
reservoir can be built. Centrifugal
pumps, water elevators or other pumps
when driven by steam or gasoline en-
gines, horsepower OR other expensive
methods are impracticable. He tells in
The American Agriculturist that he
does not regard any method practicable
for general farming except where water
flows direct from streams in bitches at
low cost.

CONCERNING WINTER OATS.
Testimony From Various Sections Where
This Grain Has Been Tested.

Testimony From Various Sections Where
This Grain Has Been Tested.
At the south it is common practice
to sow certain class of oats in the au-
tumn, and some attempt has been made
in the north to grow winter oats. From
the Wisconsin and Michigan stations
come reports that winter oats failed to
endure the winter. Professor Henry of
the Wisconsin station is reported as say
ing that he does not believe there is any
chance whatever of the southern form
of this grain succeeding at the north,
where the climate is severe
AT the Indiana station, on about lati-
tude 401a, a good stand in the field was
entirely killed last winter when wheat
grown side of it under similar conditions
was uninjured. Mr.. E. S. Carman, edi-
tor of The Rural New Yorker, grew
winter oats from Virginia seed during
1694-5 with success in northern New
Jersey, the seed being sown Sept. Is. A
correspondent of Prairie Farmer says:
"Unquestionably winter oats are be-
ing grown successfully in southern In
diana, but there is still uncertainty as
to how they will survive the winter.
In those localities where winter oats
have not been planted it will be advisa-
BILE to go slow. Experiment on small
scale at first. It is to be hoped winter
oats may gradually become acclimated
northward, but as yet the writer knows
of no case where they have survived the
winter north of New Jersey and Cincin-
natl
American Agriculturist says that let
tiers from experiment stations in the CEN
trail west show that winter oats have
been tried but in few localities north
of the Ohio; that practically no system
attic tests have been made of them in
all that region, and that they have been
most successful in the extreme southern
portions. Much the same can be said of
winter oats in the middle and New
England states, although they are used
to some extent in southern Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland. At the Rhode Is
land experiment station, where the win
tiers are usually less severe than in al
most any other part of New England,
winter oats were sown with rye after
potatoes in 1891. They terminated we'll,
but failed to live through the winter,
not even a single stool showing green
leaf in spring, and no trials have since
been made there.
The last authority quoted calls atten-
ton to a letter from indianapolis con-
corning winter turf oats which have
been sown in that locality with success.
"They are hardy if sown early. They
root very deeply, and certainly have ad-
vantages that will interest the farmer.
They are sown in the fall when the
weather is nice, and as they ripen with
wheat, the harvesting and thrashing can
be done at the same time Their fall
pasture alone would make them exceed
ingly valuable. "

Potash For Crops,

Thomas Greinier tells in The Farm
and Fireside of his experience this year
and last, which tends to prove that
sometimes better crops do result from
the use of fertilizers rich in potash He
says:
Last year on one side of two acre
field applied muriate of potash at the
rate of perhaps $50 pounds per acre. On
the other side applied sulphate of pot
ash in the same manner. all broadcast,
after planting mixed crop-corn, po-
tatoes, beans, etc. Last year already
the crops were noticeably the best on
the portions which received the ppllca-
tions. This year the effects on the
com and potatoes are still more
marked. The center strip, which re-
ceived no potash, looks this year as if
the crops wers cut down Or dried up.

Making Cider Vinegar.

There is always good demand for
vinegar, and none is better than that
made from cider out Of rich, sweet ap
Piles. The earlier it is made the more
rapid will be the fermentation and the
quicker will come the change from al
oohol acidity. This souring is much has
tened by frequent exposure to the air,
turning the cider once day from one
vessel to another. This exposes it to the
air, and if it is done for few weeks
the vinegar will be as sour as by letting
it lie in the barrel for as many months
The early apples are often deficient in
sweetness. An addition of sugar to the
cider greatly increases the alcohol and
also the acid in it when that stage is
reached. -American Cultivator

Hay In New York State.

New York is the leading state in hay
production. In 1898 1856, 500 acres
were devoted to hay, from which 1898,
208 tons were produced, having farm
value of $50, $685. 97. In 1894 the area
was 5,297, 087 acres, showing decrease
of 566, 500 acres, while the number of
tons harvested was 6,197, 500, a de-
crease of 100, GIG tons, the farm value
of which was estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture to be $50, 868, 739,
a falling off of $22, 1919, 956.
