GINSENG CULTURE.
According to a Well-Known Texan, 1t
Pays Exceedingly Well.

rays EXceeu1nSIy w ell
Low prices of farm products and kim
dred ills are having depressing effect
upon the minds of cultivators of the
soil, and thoughtful men are now more
than ever before considering how and
what crops to grow for profit.
In such trying periods, believing
that much good is sometimes accom-
plished by directing attenti on to new
channels of industry, / herewith pre-
sent some sugges tions for the benefit
of any who may feel disposed to test
them. In 1870. while living at Little
Rock, Ark, [ wrote few articles for
the local press calling attention to the
adaptation of her soil and climate to
fruit culture. I also engaged in it my
self and was the first man who ever
shipped a grape from that state to a
northern market. It is now a great
satisfaction to me to say l have lived
to see her fruit interest developed un-
til it is probably worth millions of dol
lars annually. Again, since I have
been a citizen of this state, / called at
tention TO the pecan nut in connection
with nut culture, and, aided by some
more able minds, we gave an impetus
to nut culture that will ultimately
prove of value to some people in nearly
every state in the union and to quite
a number in foreign lands.
But the object of this letter is to call
attention to ginseng culture This lit
tie plant is adapted to wider range of
soil and climate than any other one
thing l know of. It is a beautiful
plant; no prettier thing was ever put
~ Loo IN
autumn; its creamy white blossoms,
followed by spikes of fiery red seed
pods, renders it very striking thing.
Florists should all grow it as a pot
plant; it would add much beauty TO
garden border and would flourish on
the shady side of spreading rose or
! shrub, and as a field crop its capa bill
ties are simply immense. l plant one
| foot apart each way, say forty-four
thousand plants per acre, then mulch
| the entire surface to a depth of four or
| five inches and the field work is done.
l never cultivate or stir the soil in any
way At three years the plants COM
| mence to bear seed, and the older they
| get the more seed they bear; it would
pay well at present as a seed crop
| alone. The seed would fetch almost
| any price one would ask; they are
worth their weight in gold. At four
| years the roots are considered suf-
| fciently matured to dig. About TWEEN
| ty-fve we'll grown roots will make

| two dollars to three dollars and half
| per pound. In view of the fact that

man builds a single-ceiled silo six cor
nered, and puts the scantling round
the pit like hoops, locking them well
at the corners. In this case the lining
boards must go up and down, and be
iOinted with extre me care. The silage
is taken out by having manholes IN the
sides, with small doors -unhinged-
set in from the inside. The pressure
of the silage holds them securely in
place, and they are taken out as the
feeding of the silage progresses.
When the walls of the silo are finished
and painted with paint made of three
quarts of gas tar and two quarts of
gasoline we'll mixed-taking care that
no fire comes near it in mixing or ap-
plying-the floor may be made by
drawing the soil from the center of the
silo up to, and pounding down against.
the side walls until the floor is in the
form of kettle. If well pounded down
and dampened in the operation, it
makes one of the best of floors. The
double-boarded silo with a clay floor,
is the equal of any silo made for the
proper keeping of silage Two silos of
this kind built eight years ago are still
in perfect condition. They hold al
most 200 tons of silage and did not cost
$1oO They fill all the requirements of
cheap and yet durable silo. BY
double boarding the walls with tar
red paper between-and by having a
clay floor much lower in the center, the
walls are absolutely air-proof. In the
last six years | have not lost by mold
or decay 1000 pounds of silage along
walls or in the corners; and since
stopped covering and weighting the
top, and simply wet the surface, when
the heat begins to show itself, with 10
or Is pals of water evenly distributed
over the top surface, the spoiled silage
on top has shrunken to less than a
wagon boxful.-John Gould, in Orange

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

LINsEED meal made into a jelly and
added to the milk, is excellent for
calves.
WE are asked if sugar beets are as
good for mich cows as ensilage is.
Yes, perhaps better; but they are more
expensive.
Do NOT feed much cornmeal to calves,
if any. Bran, ground oats, linseed
meal, etc, are the kind of feed that
calves should have.
| IF COW closes her cud," the animal
is sick. 1t means that she has no APP
petite. Perhaps a tonic will restore
the proper condition.
WHAT shall l do for hollow horn?
asks subscriber. Improve the gem
eral condition of the COW. There is no
| such disease as hollow horn.
CoTToNsEED meal, we would say to an
inquirer, has no perceptible bad effect
on the COW, but it is claimed that it has
upon the butter, especially if too free
ly fed.
AS A safeguard against the transmits
sion of tuberculosis the majority of
Danish creamery proprietors now
sterilize the separated milk before it is
taken from the creamery.
SOMETIMES heifer does not do as
well the second year as she does the
first. There is nothing to discourage
in this condition. The third year she
will likely come out all right.
ONE of our subscribers has been feed
ing sweet milk to pigs, and thinks that
it produces diarrhua. Likely. It will
sometimes do it if large quantities are
fed. If mixed with middlings it will
prove harmless.-Farmer' Voice.

enough cold water pumped into the

when my milk is at the same tempera-
ture as the water coming from the

cannot be exercised to keep the freshly

CONSTRUCTING A SiLO.

John Gould, Ohio Authority, Submits
a Sensible Plan.
Silos are usually built in one or two
ways, either by what is known as the
-dou ble-boarded, or the single-ceiled
way, and generally in either case out
of pine lumber, as that seems to be the
handiest and least expensive, although
oak, hemlock and other woods, if
sound and free of knotholes and cracks,
may be used. Many silos are built in
some part of the barn, to cheaper
cost, because then the barn walls be-
come the outside protection and roof,
which reduces the silo to big box in
the barn, this being about as handy a
place from which to feed the stock as
can be found. In the barn the silo
needs no stone foundation. All that
is required is to dig trench the size
of the silo, large enough to receive a
10-inch square sill, and bed it in NOR
tar underneath and on the sides to
firm it. Set up the 2x6-inch studding
is inches apart from center to center,
and line up on the inside with inch
lumber, 10 inches wide, cross-locked
at the corner, and SO securely that it
will be impossible to pull apart. Cover
on the inside of this first lining with
cheap tarred paper, then run on an
other layer of the same kind of lumber;
put it on with half lap, so as to break
the Joints in the first layer, and nail
with 1od wire nails. To make sure
that the corners are tight have 3x3-
inch scantling sawed through corner
wise and nail these halves into the
corners, with a backing of paper well
painted in with gas tar
In place of two thicknesses of boards.

may be used, and the grooves filed
with paint, but in this case there must
be more studding used so as to make
the walls extra firm. Now and then a

Plant of an Editor Whose Town Suffered
from Dirty Streets.
This is the season of the year when
conventions, reunions, race meets and
summer assemblages of all kinds are
most frequent. Everybody is on his
or her vacation, and the disposition of
everyone is to 'follow the crowd" The
wisely managed cities are sure to offer
some attraction to people looking for
amusement or entertainment.
As a matter of course there is no sea-
son of the year when a valid excuse
can be offered for permitting the
streets of a town or city to present an
untidy appearance. This is doubly
true of the summer season, when every
place will be visited by greater or
less number of strangers or non-resi-
dents.
The proper sort of housekeeper al
ways has everything in the best con-
dition possible, but even the halfway
prudent one will sort of tidy things up
when she knows company is coming.
She will dust the furniture, sweep the
front stoop and, possibly, rake the
front yard. 1t is simply good policy.
She doesn't wish folks to go home and
say uncomplimentary things about
her.
The poorest kind of advertising a
town can offer is dirty, badly-made
streets. Visitors to such a place are
impressed with the thought that the
citizens have not enough regard for
the good wishes of guests to care to
favorably impress them. Poor. un-
slightly streets are blight that will
kill or retard the growth of any town,
and the place that permits them to so
remain is guilty of trying, at least, to
commit municipal suicide.
In the following clipping from one of
cur exchanges, the name of the city is
omitted for the reason that enough of
such advertising would kill the place
if it is not already dead:
II the authorities had hustled around a
week ago and cleaned the streets the thou
sands of visitors who have been in - the
past ten days would have received far better

may be canned or dried. Or if kept in
a cool place in its huslk the cherry will
keep plump and sound until December,
or later.
In growing ground cherries about
the same method is pursued as in grow
ing tomatoes. The seeds are sown in
hotbeds, and the young plants are not
taken to the garden until danger OF
frost is past. The plants are very
branching, most of the branches taking
a lateral direction, almost touching the
ground. For this reason they should
be set not less than four feet apart
each way. There is need of extra care
IN keeping down the weeds during the
first half of the season, for later on the
plants are in the way of such work.
The ground cherry is wonderfully pro
life. The first ripe ones are gathered
about the first of August. After this
the fruit may be picked every two or
three days until cut off by frost. The
fruit drops off as soon as it is ripe, SC
the most of the picking is done from
the ground. On good soil one may ex-
pect to get a bushel from Is or &C
plants, or from $50 to $50 bushels pei
acre.-American Agriculturist.

so it will give you the best service.
Allow five feet in single stalls for
horses, and three feet for cattle. The
illustrations show my original barn,
and also the remodeled and enlarged
structure. l raised the old barn on an
eight-foot stone wall on three sides of
the rectangle, then boarded, battened
and prepared the other side as shown in
the plan. 1t is very satisfactory now,
and have no doubt that many barns
in the central west can be greatly i'm
proved at comparatively small ex-
pense. Fig. is the old barn, Fig. 2 is
the same after it had been placed upon
the stone wall and remodeled, Fig. 3
is the ground plan showing the
arrangement of the stalls.
For tying cattle, 1 find a chain most
satisfactory. In my stalls / place a
2x4-inch scantling, with rounded
edges to permit the free working up
and down of the chain. One end of
this scantling is fastened to the top of
the partition and the other to top of
manger in a slanting manner. The
chain placed about this scantlirg and
the neck of the animal allows plenty

be tied. If one wish his fence wires
to be tied every six feet, begin
three feet from the post, and tie the two
top wires; then skip one space, and
fasten the next wires, and so on until
the ground is reached. The stick may
be moved over three feet, and the two
wires skipped the first time be fastened
as in cut. These tie pieces are fastened
to the wire with piece of fat steel
six inches long and one inch wide, bent
and filed hook shaped. To fasten the
top of the tie, l hang it close to the
notched stick (have the wires drawn
tight, take this piece of steel in my
right hand, hang it on the fence wire
to the right of the tie, turn it over the
fence wire until the notch in the steel
catches in the short end of the tie, and
wind it around the fence wire without
any trouble. The lower end hangs
on the other side of the lower wire.
Catch the end of the tie that hangs
below the wire IN the bend of the steel,
with the notch in the steel against the
fence wire; give the tie bend around
the wire, and finish the job the same as
for the upper end of the tie. This
makes the best and cheapest fence of

many cases we have much soil on the

PICKING THE PEARS.

No Machine Has Yet Been Invented That
SuppIants the Human Hand.
Orchardists ought to be so familiar
with the names of their pears and the
season when they are ripe that they
could not make mistakes or have neg
lects. Not a single variety of pears,
except it be the secl1el, ought to fully
ripen on the tree; that is to say, hang
on the tree until soft and fit for deS-
sert eating. The test is not difficult.
When, by gently lifting the pear, it is
free from the stem, and when the seeds
are black the fruit should be gathered.
It may not be fit for the dessert for a
month or so longer after that. No
fear need be felt that it will not color
up fine and be at it's best flavor, if,
when gathered and wrapped in a
bsingle fold of paper, it is laid in shall
low drawers or on shelves in a dark
and cool place. 1t is surprising what
a high color and what FURNISHED
gold tint it will put on, and as to fla
vor, while it does not seem to have any
at the plucking time, it will be deli
cious when handled as described.
It is also a well-known fact that
fruit, especially peaches, pears and
apples, .WnlCn mas grown on Inc SOuGn
and southwest side of a tree has
better flavor than such as has grown
in the shade on the north side of the
same tree. This is especially true of
summer or autumn fruits. Such pears
and apples as ripen late in autumn or
winter are not SO decidedly affected
In orchard work and in the hand
ling of fruit, machinery thus far has
not been able to make very great in
roads against manual labor, nor can
we see that it is very likely to. Every
individual apple or pear has place or
position on the tree peculiar to itself,
and the human hand is the best pick
er. The inventor of ''pickers" which
are effective, light and trae in work,
has so far failed in producing desir-
able article. This is to be regretted,
not because we want to displace the
hand, but because the hand cannot
reach the very finest fruits on the
trees, such as grow on the top branches
or on the outside high branches,
which will not well or securely sup
port a ladder, and cannot safely be
reached even by the little hands of chill

SIMPLE MILK COOLER.

A Leaf from the Diary of Progressive
Nebraska Farmer.
My milk cooler is box large enough
to hold all nay milk and cream cans
and butter crooks. 1t has spout down
one corner within one inch of the bot
tom, to allow the water to flow in,
thus putting the cold water in the BOT
tom of the tank. The warm water
rises to the surface and passes off
down the hose, which is hooked
up as high as you wish the
water in the vat around the cans.
When there is less milk in the cans,
lower the hose by use of the wire
chain The warm water passes off at
the top of the vat and runs out on
our garden, and is used to irrigate it.
