Subsoiling Discussed.

At the meeting of the Western New
York horticultural society Mr.. Smith
Of Syracuse said that subsoiling on clay
loans is almost indispensable, and this
not only for fruit, but also for other
crops, grains, grass, etc. 1t equalizes
the moisture in the soil. Mr. Sealey
says that ON some kinds of soil there is
no necessity of subsoiling for fruits. On
clay soils it is of great value, and per-
haps in a measure a substitute for un-
derdraining. Mr.. Smith, however, first
underdrains, then plows and subsoils
across the tile lines, in order to give the
surplus water the best chance to escape
into the drains.
Mr.. Morrill, of Michigan says that
much depends ON the balance Of the
operations. Sometimes he has noted evil
effects from deep subsoiling in tile
drained land. But usually, under good
culture, subsoiling is Of great value
Professor Roberts finds one objection to
subsoiling in its first cost. With low
prices Of crops one cannot have great
many horses working the subsoil plow.
1t is local question. Wherever subsoil-
ing will pay tile draining will pay bet
ter,

Potash Salts.

Potash salts is the general name ap-
piled to group Of substances rich in
potash that are mined about Stassfurt,
Germany. The New England Homestead
says: The cheapest form in the Ameri-
can market is kainit, finely ground,
containing about IL per cent of actual
potash combined with sulphuric acid,
so that 23 per cent of the mass is sui
phate of potash. The next cheapest form
in common use is muriate of potash,
which contains AZ to 5S per cent Of ac.
tual potash, according to grade, combin-
ed with muriatic acid or chlorine. The
highest priced potash salt for fertilizing
purposes is sulphate Of potash, con-
tanning so per cent or more of pure pot
ash united with about as much sulphur
ic acid. The sulphate appears to give
rather better results than muriate on
tobacco, potatoes, lettuce, ETC., but ON
some soils not enough to warrant the
extra cost. Potash salts are meeting a
constantly increasing sale in America,
where on most soils and for many crops
an excess of potash proves to be neces-
sary to profitable farming.

Professor Hays of the Minnesota sta.
tion is enthusiastic ON the subject Of
gasoline lgines for farm use. He has
the following to say concerning their ad-
vantages:
There is no need Of hauling lot Of
water, kindling a fire and waiting for
the engine to fire up. In summer the
water can be left in the water jacket,
while in winter only few pailfuls are
needed to fill the jacket. Comparatively
little attention is needed around the
engine while the work progresses. The
man who attends the engine can assist
around the feed grinder or thrashing
machine. Another valuable fact regard
ing gas engines is that they do not eat
oats except when in motion. Unlike
wind power, gas is always on hand
when wanted. 1t can be adapted to
more purposes than tread power because
larger sizes can be used. Instead of hav-
ing a windmill do part of the work,
tread power another and steam thrash
ing engine another, the gas engine will
fit i'll on many large farms to do the
whole work.
Professor Hays believes that gasoline
engines are going to do much of the
thrashing now being done by steam en-
gines, and that their usefulness is very
likely to be extended to the field.

THE WORKING TEAM.

Select Fast walking Horses That Match In
Strength and Size and Temperament.
A Country Gentleman correspondent,
writing ON farm teams, expresses him
self as follows:
In selecting @ team get the great pow
et combined with ambition and speed
in the walking gait Nearly all farm
work has to be done on walk. With
sufficient size and energy given would
rate teams in value for farm service in
the order of their walking speed at their
natural step. II is not the team that has
the possible speed under constant urging,
but the team with spontaneous activity.
There is nc place except plowing un-
cleared land where slow gait is desira-
BILE. 1t is much preferable to hold a team
in for this short job, if such is to be
done, to urging them on all the rest Of
the year. The natural gait of the farm
team should be not less than three miles
an hour while at their work. This not
only makes the team more profitable,
but greatly increases the service Of the
driver.
1t is important that this team be well
mated in temperament and agility. One
ambitious and one lazy horse make
most unpleasant team, They should be
about equally matched in strength also,
for there are many times when their
strength will need to be tested. l am
strongly in favor of large horses for farm
work--not the clumsy, elephantiUe type,
but large, muscular, spirited horses.
l find them among high grade Perch
erons.
When a satisfactory team is once
found, it must be kept, Then train your
team. The real value of a team can be
increased many times by proper train
ing.
A horse learns by repetition, SO there
must be q system in his training. Have
one word-and only one---for each COM
mand.

Using the Lister.

A writer in The Farm, Field and
Fireside, who uses the lister exclusively
and finds it entirely satisfactory and
better than the planters still used by
some Of his neighbors, says:
My method is to start the lister as
soon as oats are sowed and throw open
last years rows, of course leaving off
the subsoiler and dropper. Then as soon
as the ground is warm enough, which
here is about the last week in April,
commence planting. / then split the
ridges just thrown up with the snbsoiler
set deep, about three inches below the
level of the furrow made by the lister,
ard the dropper set to drop about l6
inches apart. As soon as l am through
planting commence TO drag with a
light plank drag, taking two rows at a
time and driving On the ridges. After
the first rain start the harrow and keep
il going till the corn gets too big, and
you may rest assured Of an easy time
cultivating corn if corn can be raised.

IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLIES.
Gravity Supplies From Diffsrent Sources.
Pumping Plants.

Gravity Supplies From Dinsrent Sources.
Pumping Plants.
In an exhaustive article on water sup
plies for irrigation in The Irrigation
Age the different classes Of water sup
plies are grouped in two main divi-
sions: 1. Gravity supplies. 2. Pump
ing plants. A gravity supply is any wa
ter supply which has sufficient head or
elevation to enable the water to flow
and be discharged upon the land where
it is to be used for irrigation without
the application Of power for raising it
above its level at the point of diversion.
A pumping plant for irrigation is used
only where the land to be watered lies
at such an elevation that the supply Of
water proposed for its irrigation cannot
reach it without being raised by means
of power.
Gravity supplies for irrigation come
from a number of different sources, the
principal Of which are /. Flow Of nat
ural streams. 2. Underfow of rivers
or creeks. 3. Storage reservoirs. 4.
Springs and swamp lands. 5. Artesian
wells.
Pumping plants may be erected to
pump water from any Of the above
sources when the water from them is
to be used ON lands which are higher
than can be reached by gravity flow un-
aided, but this is seldom done, as wa
ter supplies of the above character are
generally valuable on lands lying below
their level.
Pumping plants for irrigation pur-
poses are psofitably employed in raising
water from wells only, and in other
cases are very rare and exceptional, be-
ing used only where small quantity Of
water is required for land above regu-
lar gravity system, or where hydraulic
power is available MS motive power.
No inhexible statement can be made
saying that any one of the sources of
gravity supply named above is the best,
nor is it possible to arrange them in the
order in which they are to be preferred
without the addition of some qualifying
expression. 1t may be said, however,
that where a supply can be obtained by
simply diverting the water from run
ming stream which contains a sufficient
supply of unappropriated water this is
the wisest thing to be done rather than
to search for a source Of supply, which
will require considerable money for its
development.

PnnItrY NIannre,

Mix the hen droppings as soon as pro-
duced with gypsum, land plaster or dry
earth to prevent the escape of ammonia.
As rule, it dries out quickly and bs-
comes very active, soluble nitroge-
nous fertilizer. All this means that if it
is used in liberal quantities in the hill
unmixed with earth it may be so strong
in nitrogen rs to injure the young roots
when first starting Therefore it is al
ways safest to drop it in the hill and
mix it slightly with the earth. While it
requires some considerable labor to dis
tribute this valuable fertilizer in the
hill directly where the plant is to grow
very much better results will be secured
by this method than would be if the
droppings were broadoasted.

Orchard Grass WIN Glover.

Orchard grass yoes with clover much
better than timothy, though most farm
ers have got in the habit of seeding tim
0thy and clover together. The orchard
grass will not make perfect sod If
sown alone, as its habit is to grow in
punches and spread after the first year.
When sown with clover, the latter as it
dies out leayes not only room, but plant
food. which the orchard grass avails it.

"Kaffir corn will succeed wherever corn
will. and, what is more, will frequently

where corn fails Under the same con-
ditions Kaifir corn yields more of grain
aud fodder than corn has here at the

Saving Moisture In the Soil.

American Cultivator says: The best
way to save moisture in the soil is to
thoroughly underdrain it. This increases
the porosity of the soil, as the drained
land freezes more deeply than that
which is filled with water to its surface.
AS it freezes the soil expands, and this
enables it to hold more moisture. If the
soil has been drained, subsoiling, which
loosens the soil below the furrow, also
increases its ability to retain moisture.

Laying Tile.

Tile can be drawn when teams are
idle, and the work can be done by the
owner of the farm or his regular help.
If there is any doubt about the grade
and outlet, Farm and Fireside advises
the employment of surveyor. He will
establish the grade, putting pegs every
100 feet, and then there is no doubt
about the matter. With q breaking plow,
make furrow where the drain should
be, grading the bottom Of furrow as
we'll as possible. After the first rain
run the plow in the same furrow, cut
ting out the high places. This work
saves throwing out that much earth with
shovel The earth in the bottom of fur
row will not freeze hard in the winter,
and not at all if snow falls, and as other
work gives time the trenches can be
dug and the tile laid.
