The Vegetable Garden.

Arrange for a succession Of vegeta-
bles in the garden; it is just as easy to-
have them continuously as for only 4.
few weeks at the beginning Of the sea-
son. Do not put in large quantity at
q time, but make paintings every two
or three weeks from early spring till
late enough to insure. vegetables until
frost. In spite Of it's being so often
relegated to the care Of women and
children, the garden u.s. or should be,
the real backbone of the farm. It is
the principal source of supply of the,
table during the summer and fall, and
could easily be made to extend it's,
usefulness through the winter and
spring. Let your wife be it's unques-
toned superintendent, but furnish her
all the help she wants to manage it.
Do not stint cultivation. More even
than manure or soil or weather is this
to growing crops, and especially to the
small plants Of the garden. Farmers
give one hoeing or two hoeings or;
three hoeings to this crop and that crop
and the other crop; do not count yours,
but hoe every time the ground becomes
hard, after every shower, and when
ever you can borrow a half hour from
other work. It will be counted to YOU

A Potato Pest

Another potato pest is proving very
destructive in parts of New York State
and perhaps elsewhere. The bugs are
one-half to one inch long, color dead
black or dark slate, head very shiny
and small and voracious eaters. Prof
J. A. Lintner, state entomologist Of
New York, to whom we had specimens
sent, writes: This is the ash-gray
blister beetle, Macrobasis unicolor.
They are well known potato pest, al
though by no means combining their
depredations to this plant. From the
immense number in which they fire.
quently appear and their voracious
feeding, they are at times very de-
structiYe in potato fields. Their COM
ing is often quite sudden. A field may
be strongly invaded by them where
the preceding day not one could be
seen. A correspondent has stated that
'they feed together in swarms, and
seldom fly in the daytime. They will
commence to feed on one row till the
end Of the patch is reached" Paris
green is probably as good an insecti-
eide as can be used for killing them.
Pyrethrum, or insect powder, would
act more quickly, but it is more ex-
pensive. Dry lime busted over the TO-
liage would serve to protect it. They
may also be driven away, and there
ares those who would recommend the
pillow, in consideration of the service
that the aaryaes of this species and Of
other of the blister beetles render in

large extent. 1t has been noticed that

EARLY CRIMSON CLOVER.

"A Farmer Relates His Experiences
With This Variety.
Two years ago sowed crimson clo-
yer seed in August, in corn, after the
last working, and did not harrow in.
This was mistake, as the season had
been very dry. The seed failed to
terminate readily, and the plant came
up so scattering that the attempt was
a total failure. Last year I sowed on
poor land. The field was put il first
class condition by narrowing, rolling
and dragging. About fifteen pounds
of seed was put on each acre the 10Th
Of July. This was covered by the use
of light smoothing harrow. In spite
Of the long, dry fall, the plant is now
looking well. think, for those who
want to get two crops Of corn in sue
cession: from the same field, sowing
crimson clover is q great aid. Itoccu-
pies the ground during the fall, winter
and spring, and prevents the fertility
from teaching out, adds nitrogen to
the soil, and the humus returned is
worth much in conserving moisture.
am satisfied that tie decrease in the
humus accounts for the fact that the
land now suffers more from drouth
than formerly. Crimson clover is not
equal to the red variety as a general
crop in rotation, but as a catch-crop,
and for those who must raise corn con-
secutively, it is a great success. It is
more hardy during the cold season
than red clover 1t is more likely,
however, to fail during an August
drouth. grew a good crop Of COW
peas last year, and expect to increase
the acreage this season on my poorest
land. On a part of the land sown to
COW peas I will seed crimson clover in
July, and allow the peas to die down..
In the spring 1 will plow under both
crops, to act as fertilizer, and plant
to corn.
At the present " riting crimson clover
has advanced much in my estimati
It has been given two very severe
tests. The drouth of last fall was gen
eral, but the continued freezing and
thawing and the drouth which ended
May 20 were local. In spite Of all
these drawbacks the crimson clover
made good growth. It came through
the winter better than the red clover
The wheat crop here is failure, and
it is a remarkable thing that the
southern crop should excel it. There
have, however, been many failures.
Most farmers have not learned how to
Iut&in the crimson clover. At this lat
itude, 38 degrees, do not sow later
than July Is. It must also be har-
rowed, for at that season there will
not be enough moisture on the top of
the ground to start it. In the future I
will sow a little oats or COW peas for
shade, as the hot September weather
IS the greatest trial the plant has to
undergo. 1t is the finest crop the dali
ryman can get for early soiling or pas
ture. 1t comes on in time for corn to be
planted on the ground.-E. S. Hallett,

To Craze pastures too close in dry
weather kills out the grasses and lets
weeds come in.
In harvesting wheat nothing is gain
ed either in yield or in the terminating
.vigor Of the seed by allowing the grain
to become dead ripe before harvesting.
This is the conclusion of comprehen-
sive tests at the Michigan experiment
station.
Mildew and smut are among the
most common diseases Of grass. II
does not pay to spray grasses. If the
fields become badly infected, plow up
and plant to other crops. The same
treatment is the only remedy against
wire worms, white grubs, root borers,
cut worms, etc.
. Analyses of rye, wheat and CAT
straw show that a ton Of rye straw
contains ten pounds Of nitrogen, five
pounds phosphoric acid and seven
pounds Of potash, and these elements
in the fertilizer market cost $3.50. "a
ton of cat straw has fertiHzing ele-s
ments worth So. Wheat straw is worth
about the same as rye straw. Ri.
Experiments at the Michigan station
showed that grain harvested in the
milk and in the dough gave lighter
yields than when allowed to get yell
low ripe. Also, that grain cut in milk
and dough, afterWard drew additional
weight from the straw while standing
in the stack, showing that either early
cutting with a header, or threshing
early cut grain from the shock results
in considerable loss in weight

Shedding Fodder.

A correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker says: 1 have had no expert
ence with shredded fodder, but last
fall threshed my fodder, which, for
all practical purposes, amounts to the
same thing. I husked my corn by
hand then had the fodder run through
an old wheat separator. 1t was very
dry when run through, and was stored
in the NOV. It kept nice and bright,
and horses, cattle and sheep ate it
with an apparent relish. I am just
now feeding the last Of it to the
horses, giving it to them only at night.
1t is a cheap, and satisfactory feed. I
do not think shall ever feed whole
fodder another winter The threshed
fodder can be stored in about one-thlrd
the space it would occupy if left whole.
much larger portion Of it is eaten by
the stock and what is not eaten is in
a condition to make excellent bedding.
Those farmers who have not yet used
it can well afford to give it trial.

Der lf which was director in the Sea-
board Air Line, and another the presl-
dent of the trust company which is the
chief supporter and ally of the Seaboard
Air Line in Baltimore. The Seaboard Air
Line then had ample opportunity to make
the investment in the Georgia Southern

the Southern. This would have given the
Seabcard a line to Florida.
The managers of the Seaboard Air Line
will not deny that the Atlanta and Flori-

been another legitimate extension of their
line.
Up to a few months ago the Georgia
Midland was in the market for any pur-

The Southern Railway Company has
made its investments in these properties
