Clematis culture is profitable as a well
grown plant is beautiful and graceful and
sells at sight says the Farm and Home
They are perfectly hardy ard nearly al
ways in bloom after the middle of June
To grow thrifty. wen rooted plants stir the
surface soil frequently. Good potting soil
may be made by mixing fresh turfy loan
with a third as much well rooted manure
and as much sand. Place a crock in the
bottom of the pot and over II place a
handful of coarse potting material. Place
the rooted cutting In the pot and lay it
across the pot, 50 as to cover all OF the
stem and fill with soil Covering the stem
will induce roots to come out and make a
much stronger plant. Clematis will take
lots of water and thrive in moist at
mosphere with shade from the direct sun
light. They grow rapidly and soon show
bloom, which should be pinched off; a new
growth will at once come out and make
a much stronger plant. AS the plants as
sumo twinng size they may be trained
to sticks or twine.l,
During the winter the plants should be
given rest and kept in a cool room. A
little frost will not hurt them. Removed
to a warm room they win start up at
once. AS the plant begins to show signs of
growth shake out an inch or so of dirt
replacing il with rich soil. Bend the plants
or shoots back and forward to avoid get
ting them too tall About the time Of
showing the buds, stir the surface of the
soil and mix in table spoonful of bone
meal or any good stimulant, but not too
much of it, or too strong. Keep an inch
or two of old moss, littery manure or
something Of the kind among the pots to
absorb the moisture from watering, and
even things up a little In hot sunshine. The

Have n Roller.

Many of our readers know we are
strong believers in the value of a roller.
In fact, for the last ten or fifteen years
we have regarded it as an indispensable
implement and would attempt to do little
gardening or furrowng without one.
The Southern Planter feels the same
way about it.
In its last issue 1t says:
A word as to the use of the roller. This
IS an implement the use of which is much
neglected in the south. Every farmer
ought to have good heavy roller. 1t is
an Implement which can be easily made
at home If too costly to be bought. Its
use in the spring is of inestimable value.
Wheat and oats should always be rolled
as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry
for the work to be done without the soil
packing on the roller. 1t remedies much
of the injury done by the alternate freezes
and thaWs consolidates the soil around
the roots of the crops and enables them to
seize hold of the plant food in the soil
and to tiller out and thicken the stand.
Rolling also destroys much insect life on
the young plants and, by encouraging Wig
orous growth, makes the crop less Suscep-
tfble to damage from insects later in the
season Weak growing plants are al
WAYS those most infested by insects. All
grass land intended to be mown should
be rolled, being first run over with bush
harrow to level down and spread out the
droppings of cattle and hills thrown up
bv noles and insects. Rolling will large
ly assist in destroying grubs and insects
infesting the grass roots, and by level
ing and ting the land, make IT
much easier TO NOW and save injury to
moving machines, rakes and tedders. The
grass will also grow much more quickly
and with a denser growth. Buy a roller
or make one, and use II freely, ana as
soon as the condition of the land will al

Cultivate oats.

Daniel Prescott's method of growing
oats is unique and eminently practical.
He prepares his land that has been well
fertilized by cattle, and lays It off in rows
three feet apart. He drills his seed in
these rows, covering the oats as he would
corn. When the oats come up he plows,
hoes or harrows between the rows the
same as for. ordinary crops. For blowing
he uses a sweep or cultivatOr, and cult

keep down all weeds or grass. This cul-
tvation works the soil toward the oats
and forms a fiat bed that affords drainage
to the land. and too frequent rain is not
SO damaging to the growing crop.
The stirring of the soil causes the oats
to root deeply and prepares them to with
stand cTouth. Thus fortified the oats
ripen up with the blades all green on tho
stalk. and the oat straw makes good
forage, almost as good as hay, and the
grain is better developed and the crop is
better in every way than that grown by

limas are very desirable but there is
much difficulty in the pods setting Long
rows of very fine vines have been grown
at Lake City without producing a mess
of good beans The bush limas produce
a fine crop however.
The early preparation of the soil Is the
same as fer the low growing forms. Lay
the land off four by four or six by s X
feet, fertilize the checks thoroughly and
after the fertilizer is well Incorporated
plant the seed. Plant from one TO four
beans to the hill; vary the number OF
plants to suit the strength Of the land.
Such ordinary care as given the garden

vines begin to run they should be staked.

Celery.

During the past two years we have car
ried on experiments with celery, the Cd
ieet being to find some variety and meth
cd by which this important vegetable
could be grown in the state throughout
the year successfully. II is a well-known
fact that much of our celery comes from
Michigan, and any knowledge which
would encourage the growth of this vege-
table in the state would mean dollars kept
at home We have grown celery here both
in the spring and in the fall with fair
success, even on. rather poor, dry upland
soil The seed was Sown in trays, which
were placed in hotbed Jan. Is, and the
plants were set in the field April % for
the spring crop. The old method of keep
ing the dirt up around the plants proved
most successful The fall crop, which
was nearly all gathered last Dec. a. was
much better than the spring crop, though
If should be stated that irrigation was
used on this crop. The seed for this crop
was sown on Aug. / in trays, and COW
cred lightly with sphagnum moss until
il Terminated. The trays were kept slight
" moist after being placed in the shade.

Market Qualities of Japanese PIums

The Japanese plums as marketable
fruits SAYS the Horticultural Cleaner, are
so much superior to the Chickasaw, hor-
tulana or augustifolia type, that extern
sive planting will be sure to follow the
earlier development of the many young
orchards now being planted in Texas, and
the only draw back that seems to me to be
in the way of success, is the stock the
Japanese plum is worked upon. The Ma
rianna being the main stock used by near
ly all nurserymen is too weak and short
lived to make standard orchards upon, to
say nothing of its constitutional weakness
and predisposition to gumosis, which we
regard as a serious defect, and know well
that IL is not q good resistant against an
guillula or root knot, or root gall. Also
we are aware that the planters in Texas
do not know that these diseases are thor
oughly distributed in every section of the
state, and are to be found in the unculti-
waited portions as well as in the young or
chards. Now. we have before us a report
by one of Texas learned horticulturists
Mr. G. Onderdonk, who states that he has
found it (anguillula, ED in many sections
in his locality, and as often in unculti-
waited as in cultivated lands. Now, the
way we suggest to the planters to prevent
this pest, is to use the trees that are grown
on stock that are good resistants, and use
no peach or Mariana plum, as these
stocks will soon be attacked by the dis
ease, If ever so clean and pretty when re-
ceived. The Prunus Americana is a good
resistant and much larger growing spe-
cies, hence well adapted to making stan
dard orchards. We have had under test
the Prunus Americana, also twelve or
thirteen varieties of Prnus Trifiora, and
feel warranted in stating that our best
orchards must be made with these as
bottoms to insure longevity and vgor suf-
fcient to support the immense crops of
these varieties. To illustrate: The Japa-
nese varieties are more vigorous in growth
than the Mariana. IF no other objection
could be found, this is sufficient within
itself, as the tendency would be to dwarf
it by working il on a stock less vigorous
than the intended tree we were propagat-
ing AS we stated several years ago the
Japan varieties are destined to furnish
the best stock known to the horticultural
world.

To Keep Artichokes.

A great many farmers lose their arti-
chokes by not knowing how to keep them
after being dug. And l believe as a gem
eral thing the trouble lies in their be-
ing buried too deep or in too warm a
cellar. Care should be taken to bury them
on dry land on top of the ground Do
not dig pit for them, merely scrape out
a basin, and then heap the artichokes
not more than three inches of dirt In
this way have kept them every season
for several years Do not be afraid of
frost, it will not hurt the feeding or grow
ing qualities Most every farmer in this
section is now growing the artchoke for
hogs, and the above way is how they
keep them Van Ness.

Scratches In Horse.

T. I. M.-Will you please inform me the
simplest and best remedy for scratches in
horse. One foot is affected badly and when
he is first started limps for some little
distance then he goes all right The
stable yard was sloppy and bad for several
weeks, but the stall where he spends the
night is kept clean and bedded with straw
pine, mostly?
AS a general rule, a horse that has
scratches is almost sure to be suffering
from bad blood and indigestion, either as
cause or effect. If the bowels are not all
right, give a pint of linseed oil in the
evening and repeat the dose in the morn
ing Give a dose of Condition Powder
daily for a week or so.
Clean the feet by a good washing with
CASTLE or black carbolic soap. Dry thor
Oughly and paint with white lead. After
two or three days wash the feet again and
repeat the painting. See thatt the digestion
is made good Three, or at the furtherest,
four washings and paintings will almost
certainly effect a cure, if the cause is pure
ly local. If the blood is out of order other
treatment may be called for. You might

occasionally. to the great satisfaction of
every one of a large family. They are to
be boiled till thoroughly done, then add a
sauce or dressing of cream and bqtter, ana

nc.troring wild onions.

How can I get rid of the wild onions
which infest my pasture and ruin the but
ter and milk? l have this trouble every
spring. The Georgia commissioner of ag-
ricuIture answers the question as follows;
This inquiry comes up with unerring reg
ularity every spring. and we understand
from experience the annoyance Of having
TO throw in the Stops gallons of milk, ruin
ed by the flavor of the onions which the
cows have eaten. These plants are among
the first to appear when spring weather
begins to encow age Vegetation and for
this reason, as wen as from the fact that
cattle are fond of them. milk cows should
not be turned into pasture In which they
have gained footing The cows, so long
deprived of tender green food, will eager
1y seek out the onions and deVOur them
The only plan we know of IS to plant some
crop Of superior growth, such as cowpeas
or crimson clover which has tendency
to supercede the onion growth, and to cut
this crop before the buttons on top of
the onions have time to form. BY this
plan we accomplish a twofold purpose.
The onions are prevented from forming
additional roots, and the buttons" can
not mature to be scattered for another
crop If a cultivated crop is planted, this
will also tend to destroy the onions the
roots being plowed up during the course
of cultivation. but the process of eradi-
cation is necessarily a slow one. If either
of the above named Cor both, because a
cultivated crop may come after the Ger
man clover, is adopted, we must not ex-
pect to be at once successful When the
onions have taken possession of the land
1t may be some time before their destruc-
ton is entirely accomplished

Influenza is generally prevalent. We find
it prevailing among new horses and cat
