Farm Notes

Irrigation makes surer and larger
crops.
The clover seed crop will be good;
securing it will probably pay better
than the ordinary farm crops.
Broom corn should be well seeded,
hit the fine fibre should not be scraped
from the ends Of the tips. T., =.
Put the saved garden seeds in paper
bags, after thoroughly dry, and bugs
will not break in to steal.
With harvest over, the farmer and
his teams can afford to lay oil during
this extremely hot weather.
Wheat ground should be broken sew
eral weeks before seeding, so it will
have time to settle.
Winter rye can be probably sown
any time this month; but the earlier
sown the more fall pasture will result.
The corn field that is now green with
rape makes the stock smile as it real:
ICES the feast to come after while.
How much did the garden contribute
to the support Of the family this sum-
mer?
Don't try to plow under green ma
nures Of any kind for wheat this late
in the season: The results will not be
satisfactory or profitable.
In getting your wheat ground ready
for sowing don't stop the work Of prep
aration too soon. Much depends upon
thorough cultivation.
Don't allow the farm machinery to
lie out in the sun and rain. 1t will
nav in dollars and cents to protect
them from the elements. $
Gather up all the machinery that is
vet out, and store it. There can be
no greater waste on the farm than to
allow the farm implements to remain
out in the sun and rain.
Most weeds are as exhaustive Of
available fertility in the soil as are
grain crops, and it is a mistake to
allow them to mature. Run the mower
over the stubble fields and cut down
the rank growth Of all weeds before
they, mature their seed.
THE southern COW pea Is winning
favor in the northern sta,es, and Prof.
Connell. of Texas station, thinks the
Canada field pea will as surely win ia
vor in the South. Plant in fall or
snring. with oats. Hairy vetch and
oats also make a good mixture.
The Michigan station has succeeded
with alfalfa. 1t moved it twice the
f,rst wear simply to clip the weeds be-
fore they seeded, leaving on the ground
as a mulch. In subsequent years, If
cut and raked several times each year,
the total yield being considerably more
than could be, gotten from the same
area of red clover.
The sofa bean has given great salts
faction Mt the Ohio station. 1t Is a
hardy, rapid grower. and gives a good
Weld of very rich forage. The black

beets, melons, etc, salt Il Injurious; in
some cases light application OF salt
may be beneficial, as for onions, cab
bage, celery and possibly tomatoes.
Upon stir clay lands salt at the rate OF
200 to 600 pounds broadcast, some
weeks before the sowing Of small grain
or the planting Of corn, has apparently
improved the mechanical condition Of
the soil, and has probably added to
the yield Of grain. Upon land which
wheat had usually made an over
growth Of straw, with tendency to
strawfall before ripening grain, the
writer has obtained shorter but much
sitter growth of straw, standing up
we'll until the fully matured crop was
harvested, by applying 300 pounds per
acre of penthouse refuse salt broad
cast upon the land in January.
Little or much, 1t is not advisable to
apply salt to ANIMALS at the time Of
seeding, and it should be used eau
tiously, If at all, during growth and
cultivation. A moderate dressing, 200
pounds per acre on meadow or pasture,
very early in spring, or better during
the last winter month, has upon sew
eral occasions given apparently good
results; but these were not sufficiently
marked to induce further experiments.

rhe Best Care of seed Corn.

Farmers as rule are not particular
enough in their selection and care OF
corn for seed; many practice storing
seed corn in an open corn crib before
it is thoroughly dried. The germ OF
corn being porous absorbs moisture,
and being subject to severe freezing
during winter as result, the germ Is
partially or wholly destroyed and the
chance Of its growing under the most
favorable circumstances Is very I'M
tied. When huskng, the best ears
should be saved and placed in dry
room and properly cured by fire dry
ing. Corn treated in this way Is sure
to terminate and make a vigorous
growth.-L. Staples, Kent Co., Mich.

The Cabbage Worm

The most common cabbage caterpil-
lar, according to Mississippi expert
ment station bulletin, is the larval
form Of the white butterfly SO often
seen about the plants depositing it's
eggs. Aside from this larval there are
also several others which attack the
cabbage, being the larvae of several
other species of butterflies and moths.
But while there are several species Of
caterpillars on the plant, yet the hab-
its of all are very similar, so that the
same remedies are applicable to all.
Just as soon as the worms are noticed
on the plants Paris green, either dry
or miXed with water, should be ap-
piled. In this case it is, perhaps, best
to make the application in dry form
by means of any Of the many ways for
making application. A common -four
sack will do for this purpose if moth
ing better is at hand. When applied to
the cabbage the green parts should be
diluted with about twenty parts Of
flour, the effectiveness Of the applica-
ton depending not so much on the
amount used as the evenness Of the
distribution. The green, however,
should not be applied to the plants
after they have formed heads, but
pyrethrum or insect powder should be
used instead. But the question is often
asked, "Will not the green poison the
plants and render them unfit for usey'
But the cabbage grows from within
out, and there is no danger in the use
of Paris green provided it is not ap-
piled after the heads have formed. By
the time the outer leaves are taken on
and the cabbage is ready for the table,
there is left no trace of arsenic.

uni7orm Game Laws.

The September issue OF the Western Fiald
and Stream, published at st. Paul, Mimi,
is noteworthy as presenting practicable
scheme for the protection of the game of
the country, which we are inclined to be-
lieve offers complete solution Of this much
vexed problem, and Its senior editor, Mr..
Charles Hallock, who devised and formu-
lated the scheme has also the fullest en-
,dorsement of all leading naturalists and
sportsmen who have had an opportunity to
examine 1t. Briefly, 1t contesnplates divid-
ing the entire territory of the United States,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two
concessions along the line Of the fortieth
parallel Of latitude, or near 1t, for each OF
which there shall be uniform laws and uni
form close time, the whole to be under the
police surveillance of the National Associa-
ton for the Protection Of Game and Fish
through Its multifarlous state auxillaries.
The close time for the Northern concession
will be from Jan. 1 to Sept. 1, and In the
Southern concession from Feb. l to
Sept. 1, during which no shooting shall be
allowed on any kind OF game whatever, ex-
cepting that woodcock and shore birds of
the order Limicolae may be shot In August.
The general close time for all kinds of
inland fishes, recognized as game fishes, to
extend from Oct. to June 1, excepting that
fishes Of the order Salmoncde, including
the trouts, may be caught in April and May.
These close seasons conform very nearly
to the distribution, habitat, and breeding
seasons Of the various fauna which are
sought to be protectcd; and where they do
not, especial exceptions may be made, II
deemed expedient. The laws which are to
dominate will inhcre by legislative enact
ment; uniform In all the states. and CO.
operative throughout. Emergencies and
bodily stress will always stand in plea for
exemption from penalty for violation of the
laws, when we'll proven.
Mr.. Hallock presents his arguments In
very logical and convincing manner, and he
believes that 1t cannot be long before this
salutary code will be In successful opera
ton.
Hundred Miles an Hour by Elec-
trio Car.
An electrical engineer has been ex-
hibiting in London the model of his
proposed single-rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on V-shaped trestle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
it were, runs astride on it. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels and
seats 1875 passengers with space for
their baggage. One of the difficulties
netswith in schemes for excessive high
speed travel is the tendency of the car
to run off the track. By running the
rail within the car the lateral tendency
of the train is overcome. But in this
late scheme the great difficulty seems
to be the passenger. What would hap
pen to the passenger when the train
took sharp curve while going at $50
miles an hour is not explained.

son and others created a sensation
at national headquarters in Chicago,
as no names were signed to the cir
cular, and the impression was given
out that Mr.. Cutcheon, Mr.. LAWYER
and others Of the party managers in
the state were responsible for it. The
unfortunate part Of the publication lies
in the fact that 1t Is not possible at
this late day to correct the impress

try that the party in Minnesota has
been all along a mere decoy for the
McKinleyites." Said Mr.. Holman: eff
the circular had been issued by cur
own people, as I at first supposed, 1t
would have been possible to denounce
them as traitors to the cause; but
when the authors were found to be
men who have no connection with the
party management, then no language
is strong enough to condemn their in
reference with the affairs of a party
with which they are evidently not in
sympathy" Mr.. Holman appeared to
feel deeply about the matter, and said
further:
