any good the light had to be hung out
side the house. If placed inside, whether
naked or protected by globe it injured
the radishes. Beet and spinach were
apparently somewhat benefited bv the
light. Caulitlowers grew taller and
made fewer and smaller heads and vio-
let's and daisies bloomed earlier in the
lighthouse. This corroborates results
obtained with other flowers in earlier
experiments. The electric light does
not appear to determine or modify the
hours of growth of lettuce and some
other plants which have been studied
in this particular. Plants which are
benefited simply grow more rapidly
during the customary periods. These
experiments have been extended over
six years and the conclusions reached
are worthy of careful attention as based
on independent scientific investigation.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Labor is money. Use no useless Ia
oor-make nc needless steps-in the
dairy work.
The oleomargarine business is being
curtailed materially,whic is good news
to the dairy.
If the COW has a sore teat, milk very
carefully and apply extract of witch
hazel.
The contented COW is the only profit
able one. The best cow in the world
will not do her best if discontinued.
The first cold nights of fall have in
iured the milk yield Of many COW
permanently until she has her next
calf.
A cow that has not bright eye is
not good dairy COW. A fool animal OF
any kind is not the best animal OF its
class.
Good corn fodder, good clover ard
good straw will make milk. The latter
must be supplemented with grain, and
the first two ought to be.
The application of dirty grease to a
cows sore feat or to the sore ON any
other animal has no sense back OF 1T.
Common grease is not healing. 1t is
more apt to act as blister.-Western

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The land for the sugar beet should
be plowed in the fall, and after plow-
ing, unless the land is very rich, apply
plenty of well-rotted manure.
The potato blight is on the increase.
Bordeaux mixture for blight and paris
green for bugs will have to be kept in
stock by the potato grower.
1t is not much trouble or expense to
construct dollhouse for forcing early
vegetables or growing vegetables in
winter. The farmer can do this.
The apple grower who does not re-
gard the apple as he would any other
crop, and furnish the trees with food,
as he does other crops, will not sue
coed.
If the farmer would go at the work
of producing early vegetables, he could
laugh at the low prices for grain, ii
they should continue. Early vegetables
always pay.
If fruit trees grow too rapidly they
will not bear well. The force goes into
the wood. When young trees grow too
rapidly, it is a good plan to put the
orchard in grass. This will check the
growth.
If house plants become frozen, dark
en- the room and sprinkle with water
from the we'll, with a few drops of
spirits of campbor in it. Keep the
temperature at As degrees for "a hours.

KITCHEN MANAGEMENT.

The great point of good management
n the kitchen is to clean things away
as you go on, and to be one day ahead
IN ordering necessaries. For instance.
take the everyday want OF tea anu
sugar. At starting, order in two pack

order in another, so you will always be
prepared for an emergency, and the

make an excavation two feet longer and
two feet wider than the box, which may
be made of inch boards. The back part
should be about 20 inches high and the
front IL or ii inches. This will give q
sloping top, which will permit the rain
TO run off. The cover may be made so it
can be pushed down or up at the own
er's will; or g stick with notches in it
at intervals will answer as well. In
this way the cover can be lifted entirely
off the bed or be raised just enough to
admit necessary air and light. By hav-
ing notched stick the cover will take
no extra room when not in use. The
hotbed may be of any size desired.
In the excavation place six or seven
inches of rich soil, and upon this the fer
menting dung until the bed is about two
feet high. On top of this place three or
four inches of pulverized soil. Put on
the frame and keep it covered until the
temperature rises to 100 degrees, then
sow the seed. Every night until dan
ger of frost is passed cover with mats
or similar protection. The bed should
be opened every day from 9 until ten
or eleven a. m. and from two to three
or four p. M, unless freezing, to let III

exceed 90 degrees or fall below 70. To
secure good, healthy plants plenty of

aid of vines and shrubs. a simple plan
is shown in the illustration. A hogs
head contains the water that is brought
to it by pipe. The sides and top are

whole. Over this, vines are trained I'M

them. 1t may be thought that this is
considerable trouble to take for a water

INTERESTING TESTS.
A Fine, Firm Seed Bed Is Preferable t,
T.OOaa Soil

A Fine, Firm Seed Bed Is Preferable to
Loose Soil.
In order to determine the effect of
compact" and loose" soil upon seed.
the horticultural students in the short
course in agriculture, Madison, Wis,
made the following experiments:
Each student used 100 white beans
divided into two equal lots. Before
planting, the volume of each lot was
determined by pouring a given amount
of water into graduated tubes, and not
ing the difference in height of the water
when the beans are added. They were
then drained and at once planted in
tin boxes with tight covers. The boxes
were filled one-third with moist garden
soil, in which the beans were mixed and
the surface covered with an inch of soil.
The same operation was performed with
the second lot, and in addition a small
block of wood was used to compress the
soil about the beans. AS each student
prepared two lots, this gave 100 cups,
which were marked with labels giving
students name and volume of beans.
The cups were then placed for "a hours
in a room in a temperature of 6S to 20
degrees. The volume of the beans OF
each lot was then determined with the
following result: The average increase
in volume of the beans in loose soil was
46 per cent, in compact soil II per
cent. Peter Henderson relates in
Gardening for Profit" an experiment
in which not one seed in 1000 of celery,
nor one in 100 of cabbage, started in
strips of loose soil, while compacted
strips gave an excellent stand. The use
of the feet or roller is based on the same
principle. In the loose soil there are
less points of contact of moist earth
with the seed, causing less water to
be absorbed, slower termination, and
an unfavorable condition for its best
development
The concensus of opinion is that a
fine, firm seed bed is preferable to
loose SOIL

Unsuccessful Spraying.

On the subject of unsuccessful spray
ing, the Missouri experiment station
bulletin says: eve sometimes hear Of
unsuccessful results from spraying, but
these experiments show, while all dis
eases cannot be Immediately and total
ly eradicated, that continued spraying
will cause the fungous diseases men
toned to grow less each year. One in
telligent fruit grower sent word to the
station that he had carefully sprayed
according to directions, but that there
was more scab on his sprayed than on
his unsprayed trees. A careful exam
ination of apples from his orchard re-
vealed the fact that they were badly
burned probably by impure chem
icals or too strong mixture), but there
was no trace of fungous disease in his
fruit

under the body of the tree, so that when
it is raised up it will settle about four
inches lower than what it stood before.
(See cut.) Then trim the tree thor
oughly, not by cutting off large limbs,
but reduce the leaf surface by cutting
away small limbs and twigs, and by TAX
ing off the ends of the longer limbs.
Then raise it into it's place and set
fence post in the ground at an angle
so that the tree will rest against the
top of it; then fill in under the roots
with sods and rich earth mixed with
manure, so as to encourage strong root
growth. In few years your trees will
be as good as before. Of course, this
only applies to trees that have roots
enough left intact to keep the tree from
withering.-Ohio Farmer.

MAKING A HOTRED.

How to Have Fresh Vegetables Almost All
the Year Around.
In many sections of the country fresh
vegetables may be had the year round if
a hotbed is constructed and properly
cared for. Such a bed may not be an
expensive one of brick or stone, COW
cred with glass, unless the owner SO de-
sires. Oiled canvas stretched over a
frame will answer the purpose nearly
as well as glass and will be far cheaper.
1t should be made a few days before
needed, so that the oil can penetrate
through and through the cloth. Lin,
seed oil is best, and may be applied by
means of common paint brush.
For the hotbed make a bed of COM
mon barnyard manure, being sure there
is no cow dung in it. Turn this over
and over two or three times at inter
walls of four or five days. Allow the
manure to ferment until smoking hot.
When the manure is thoroughly heated

Home and FOREIGN Markets.

The marketing of dairy produce is a
factor that should engage the earnest
attention of every farmer. We hear
a great deal about catching the foreign
market, but our home market is of far
greater Importance. With population
constantly increasing, under normal
conditions the demand for dairy prod
ucts will also increase. There is IA
danger that we will look at the foreign
market so much that we will forget
we have home market. Whether the
market be foreign or home, the butter
or cheese must be made knowing to
which it is going, for the same kind of
product will not always do for both =

Making Condensed Milk.

Condensed milk, which is so much
used for the food of infants, is prepared
by slowly evaporating the water OF
milk by moderate heat. There are two
varieties, the plain, which is condensed
10 about one-fourth of it's bulk and SUI
perheated, and to which no sugar is
added. and the stronger variety, which
is more condensed and to which sugar
cane is added in excess, holding about
s per cent. of sugar among it's solid in
gredients. This excess of sugar pre-
vents the decomposition of the milk
which will keep fresh for many hours
after the can has been opened. I.

APPLES FOR COWS.

They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and the rest be fed
to the COWS. Where markets are so de-
pressed as at this time it often happens
that common stock will not pay any
profit at all, while really choice fruit
will bring fair price. If, therefore we
ship only the best we have better
chance of making something on our APP
pies, and at the same time have lot OF
good feed for the cows, or, in fact, al
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
which will be found to be about ten
pounds per day for cow Apples con-
tain a greater proportion of carbo-
hydrates to protein than most feeds;
consequently they need to be supple
mented by some feed rich in protein,
such as linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran, as the
apples themselves have all the medicin-
al properties that make the linseed val
liable.
If it is possible the apples should be
run through root cutter, as there is
danger of the COWS choking themselves.
This danger is, we think, rather remote,
as we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows. and have vet to see the first cow
choke.-National Stoclman.

Sit down on the stool, after deposit
ing it at the right side of the COW, and
place the pail on the board b. This
incloses the pail between each knee and
the guard c, and thoroughly secures it
from any danger of tipping over or the
cow striking it with her feet. This plan
also allows the easy holding of the pail
between the knees, and actually rests

cows.
Adjust your stool and pail so that
each stream of milk from the teats can
be directed into the pail without undue
exertion in reaching out with the arms
or STOPPING over into an uncomfortable

are clean. Brush them off thoroughly

Disposal of By-Products.

Creamery men might well study the
question of disposing of their by-prod-
ucts in the most profitable way. None
of these now, perhaps, go to waste
entirely, but that is not exactly the
question. The question rather is, are
they being made the most of? OF course,
what constitutes making the most Of
them will depend upon the circum-
stances and surroundings of particu-
lar creamery. There are considera-
