Farming by ELECTRICITY.

An Illinoi1 genius has patented de-
vice which will allow farmer to pillow
his field harrow it, put in the seed and,
when the crop is grown, harvest it by
electricity. The indianapolis News ex-
plains that the power is brought to the
farm from power house that serves an
entire community within radius of
ten miles from the farm. The electricity
is brought through feed wire to a wire
erected i'll the fields running ON all four
sides of the field. The farm machinery
is provided with Il trolley, which con-
sists Of a wire so arranged that it will
wind or unwind on cylinder on the
back Of the machine. The part that
touches the feed wire is not like the
street car trolley wire, but fits over the
wire and Will slide along as the ma
chine goes from one furrow to another

cutworms ate off the standard variety
and the remainder of the stalk produced
a few pods from which the dwarf va

Professor Bailey recommends "a large

that nine-tenths Of the cheese produced
in this country is made in the states Of
New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois,

How to Treat Ivy Poisoning.

A Rural New Yorker correspondent
writes; my experience with poison
ivy, poison oak and poison sumac-the
last 1 dread the most-has been very
simple. Put sweet cream ON cloth and
cover the affected part; renew as soon
as it begins to get dry. This will draw
all the poison out in IA few days, put the
skin in healing condition, and the poi
son will never return. Simple as this
remedy seems to be, it is nevertheless

ERADlcArlNe THE MOLE.
Various Ways OF Circumventing This
Small, Sly Pest.

Small, Sly Pest.
AS to how gardeners shall be entirely
rid of moles in lawns and gardens re-
mains an unsolved question Here are,
however, some helpful hints ON the sub
jcct from The American Agriculturist:
Molcs do not like to be disturbed in
their operations, and if their runways
are destroyed or closed up by tranping
the ground above the runvays they will
change their quarters. The mole goes
glong four or five times day to catch
the insects that have dropped i'll his
path. Moles live mostly on grubs and
worms, yet are fond of various forms of
vegetable matter. Those who have tried
poisoned corn say that it viii offcctual-
ly rid place of molcs. Soak the kerr
nels in arsenic water and place them in
the runways, In soil that is not too por-
Gus molcs and other vermin can some
times be drowned out much more easily
than dug out and if there is a large
supply of water this method of destroy
ing the pests may be practicable i'll al
most any soil.
What seems to bc the safest and surest
method of mole determination, in the
west at least, is the planting of castor
beans. Says a horticultural authority:
THE castor oil plant seems to be rank
poison to all the animal world; no sort
of bird, beast or creeping thing will
touch it, Even a goat will starve before
biting off leaf, and insects that will
eat every other green thing in sight pass
that by. There is hardly another in
stance III natural history of plant be
ing so universally detested by the ami
NAL world as the castor oil plant. " The
castor plant may have such effects III
the west, but in the cast similar results
are not obtainablc, us several trials have
conclusively proved But in the west
the case Of Eleanor Nj. Lucas of Cali
fcrnia speaks for Itself. She writes:
"Molcs dislike castor beans, as do
gophors, and they have both given my
garden a wide berth since castor beans
were planted, although they had pre-
viously destroyed many valuable bulbs
and plants In 1898 molcs were unusu-
ally troublesome. \ few beans were
tucked III my bulb bed, favoritc haunt
for mOles, others in the rose border,
some near the violet he'd and wherever
the pests were most troublesome. A few
mOlcs had runs here and there, and l at
once dropped bean in their path Last
year l planted only few beans to keep
them at bay, and not mole has been
seen. My moss roses were being laid in
state Of devastation by the red spider,
but since the castor vines have Overshad-
owed the bushes this tiny pest has also
absented itself; therefore / believe it
detests the castor beans as all the ami
NAL world seems to do. "

The winter storing Of onions is al
ways attcn d with more or less loss. If
not thoroughly cured when sorted, many
of the bulbs will sprout and others
will decay if they have sustained even
slight bruises III harvesting There will
be more or less shrinkage and large
percentage of the onions will be lost if
the proper care is not given to vcntila-
ton and maintaining the desired tenn
perature. For these and other reasons
most growers prefer to dispose of the
crop as soon as possible and are willing
to accept low prices rather than run the
risk of loss by storage.
1t is absolutely essential for success
full winter storing that the bulbs should
be well matured, thoroughly cured, not
bruised, and in perfectly dormant
state. Most growers prefer topping the
onions before storing. Sheep shears can
be used to advantage in this work, leav-
ing about an inch Of the onion top ex-
tending above the bulb The sorting
may also be done by hand or by means
of a screen, the rods or Stats of which
diverge, letting the bulbs fall into three
hoppers, separating the onions into three
grades Pacific Rural Press

CARE OF FARM MANURES.
How to Prevent the Loss of Valuable Fer
tilizing Materials.

liiiHing Materials.
In caring for farm manurcs the main
object is to prevent the loss of COM
pounds containing nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid In a New York station
bulletin is considered briefly some of
the ways in which this can be accom-
plished. The use of litter absorbs the
liquid manure, preserves it to some OK
tent from immediate decomposition and
also holds more or less Of the ammonia
produced by fermentation, thus prevent
ing its escape into the air
Of the materials i'll common use peat
has the largest power of absorbing and
holding liquids; peat moss comes next;
spent tan and sawdust follow; then
come straw and similar materials. 1t
has been given as a safe rule TO follow
that the litter should at least be equal
to one-third of the dry matter of the
food consumed. III addition to using lit
ter it is wise to use some other materi-
ais for absorbing and preserving the
manure. Among such materials are
gypsum Gland plastcr), kainit, acid phos-
phate, etc
Gypsum Gland plastor) has the power
of holding ammonia and rcvouting its
loss. 1t must, ioV,yyor, lie moist in or
