Experiments with bordeaux mixture

ing The longer we wait the harder it
is to keep the mixture thoroughly

Market gardeners make much larger
profits out Of the turuip crop than do
farmers. The reason is that they grow
the turnip early, having it ready for use,
sweet and good by midsummer, at
which time the farmer is just ready to

Country Gentleman gives this infor-
nation concerning the cutting of sor-
ghum for feed: 1t should be nearly ripe,
as it will make richer food and cure bet
ter. 1t will head out and make "a little
seed, and this should be ripe enough to
grow before the crop is cut. a light
frost will help to cure it and will not
injure it at all. When it stands up we'll,
it can be cut with the binder and bound
i'll small handles, but should not be
shocked until the butts have dried out
well, as there is danger of its souring if
the fresh cut bundles are set on damp
earth If cut with the moving machine,
cure as you would hay and draw it in
loose. 1t may be left out in the swath
until well cured, and it is little injured
by rain as it is coarse and the water
runs through it and it soon dries. Cut
before frost if ripe enough.

Seeding with Timothy.

We have never had any experience in
sowing timothy alone, as where our
farming was done winter grain crops
generally paid both i'll grain and straw
and furnished nearly az quite as good
grass growth the following year to
mix with the straw and make it more
valuable feed There is never any fail
ure to get good timothy catch where
either rye or wheat is sown i'll Septem-
Der 1t is usual to wait until nearly
October before sowing the grass seed,
else it will crowd the grain too much
next season. If you want the grass alone,
we advise sowing it on well prepared
seed bed III August, as the seed will
start quickly, and with seven pounds Of
seed per acre the young grass will get
sufficient growth to green the surface
before cold weather comes on. Young
timothy is not easily killed. We have
seen it sown the middle of October, so
that it barely got Il roothold before the
ground froze, and yet most Of this tim
othy was uninjurod by the following
winter. A crop Of timothy alone, except
on very rich land, will run cut after
two or three years. 1t will last longer
if half seeding of clover seed is sown
with it next spring. Guilt

1t is given out as new discovery
that steam, allowed to fall to a temper
allure Of 120 degrees, will destroy in
sects. This is only repeating what was
made public by the editor OF Mcehan' S
Monthly 40 years ago, that water heat
ed to 1870 degrees was destructive Of in
sect life, without being injurious to
vegetation. The application, however,
has been found rather troublesome, ex-
cept where only few plants are to be
dipped in the water. People prefer in
secticides that may be applied by pow
ders or by spraying.

BUILDING A GLASS HOUSE.
A Fvv.tical Model For Winter Gardening.
Best Method of Heating,

The three-quarter span greenhouse,
from 16 to 20 feet wide, has been prov
ed beyond all reasonable doubt to be
the best and most practical form of
glasshouse for winter gardening. These
greenhouses are always located to run
east and west, and the long slope of
glass usually faces south, though there
are a few earnest advocates of the short
span to the south arrangement. Houses
Of this form are most economically built
i'll lengths of 100 feet on more, but may
be made as short az desired and extend
ed afterward.
The south wall is or feet high and
the north one or feet. The south
pitch of the roof should be about 80 de-
grees G inches to The fEt) which would
bring the ridge somewhat over 2 feet
high at the apex. The side benches are
each about feet wide and are placed
from IL to lS inches below the plates.
The center bench, which will vary in
width from feet in house 10 feet
wide, to 10 feet III 20 foot house, is
built up so that its southern edge is not
more than four feet from the glass. If
wider than g feet, il is best made dou-
BILE, with the north side foot or so
higher and a narrow walk between the
two parts. The walks between the mid
die bench and the north and south
benches are usually ~ inches wide.
When constructed of wood, in the
usual manner, greenhouses Of this style
can be built for SO or So per running
foot when built in 100 foot lengths
Shorter houses will cost proportionately
more per foot, as the expenditure for
ends is the same, while the available
bench room is curtailed. Hot water is
considered the best method of heating
small ranges of houses under 10000
square feet of glass. The cost, at present
rates, would be i'll the neighbOrhood of
$400 for a house 20 by 100 feet. a steam
system would cost about % per cent
less, or nearly $3.50. The old fashioned
brick fluoS are still in use by successful
greenhouse men and cost much less than
either steam or hot water in the first
instance, as two fiucS, sufficient for the
house above mentioned, may be built at
a cost not exceeding 500. Flues, how
ever, are of doubtful economy in the
long 1un as they require close atentlOn
and consume "A large quantity of high
quality coal.
All things considered, glass IA to 16
inches wide will give the best satisfac-
ton. Above IS inches wide the price
rapidly increases, and with widths less
than II inches too many sash bars are
required darloning the houses consider
ably in midwinter. What is known as
b or second quality natural gas glass
makes very satisfactory roof Double
strength glass costs about Is per cent
more than the ordinary single strength,
but is considered to be much warmer
and is less likely to be broken by acct
dent OF hailstones. Thanks are due tc
Rural New Yorker for the foregoing
practical and helpful information.

HEAVY HORSES.
A Michigan Farmer Recommends Them
Highly For Farm Work.

a
Highly For Farm Work
A Michigan correspondent of Country
Gentleman, and formerly an advocate
for medium weight horses, writes as
follows:
About five years ago l bought team
of heavy horses, weight about 1900
pounds each, moro because | could not
find what wanted i'll lighter weights
than from any good Judgment of my
own. l had not had the team a week
before their super Jrity over the other
teams on the farm was proved. They
moved off with a pillow with much less
fatigue They drew heavy loads with
far greater casc-in fact, they were
masters of the situation wherever put at
work | found that it took no more to
keep them than the lighter horses, un-
less it may be that they consume little
more hay, for they receive the same
grain ration as the others. And as for
road work, we do not need to put the
farm horses before "a carriage, and when
1T comes to taking loads to town they
walk faster than the others, besides
hauling considerably more at Il load
SO great was the change in my opin-
ion on the subject of heavy horses for
farm work that have since Lcught an
other team Of the same kind These two
teams do the hardest, heaviest work on
the farm At all times, all the heavy
blowing, which it Guild require three
lighter horses to manage
For certain kinds of work the smaller
horses are all right. For cultivating,
moving, light dragging and certain
other things on any farm they answer
every purposo, or to the small farmer
who has not work enough at any time
of the year to hurry him. He can take
his time and not rush things as they
haze to be rushed on a large farm, but
when it comes to a big days work ON
disk harrow or pillow, or where great
strength is required, give me the heavy
horses every time. \ heavy horse is not
necessarily a slow one, nor need he be an
awkward one. A horse of heavy weight
should not be so fat as to be burden to
himself either, but III good, fair condi-
ton, with no protruding bones. More
grain and less hay should be the rule on
most farms. Where the farming is eX-
tensive enough to warrant keeping two
teams let one Of them be heavy. They
will take all the heavier work off the
smaller team, and these may be used
for light road work when required.

Rhubarb plants may be safely set both
in fall and spring, but if fall set the
crowns should be well covered with
earth to prevent hcaving and exposure
of the roots during winter, for rhubarb,
though very hardy plant, will not en-
dure rapid alterations of freezing and
thawing when exposed to the air, and
is, therefore, not well adapted for very
moist soils in il cold climate. What is
wanted in rhubarb culture is an early,
rapid and vigorous leaf growth, with
the accompanying large and juicy leaf
stalks. Rural New Yorker tells that
there is nothing better than the early
application Of fermonting horse manure
for this purpose.

Augustinians, Named For the Place.
The Most Rev. Sebastian Martinelli,
who is said to have been appointed as
papal delegate to America to succeed Mgr.
Satolli, is prior general of the ancient or
der of Augustinians He is very learned
man, speaks English readily and has had
varied international experience.
Father Martinelli is an Italian, born in
Tuscany Aug 90 1913. He is the yOun-
gest of five children, of whom the late Car
dinal Martinclli was the eldest. Another
brother, Father Aurelius Martinelli, is an
Augustinan friar and director general of
the Pious union. At the age of . Sebastian
was sent to Rome, where he studied for
holy orders and became an Augustinian
when he had reached the proper age For
81 years he has lived in the Eternal City.
Most Of this time he has spent in teaching
For some years he was the superior of the
Irish Augustinian convent at Rome, where
he became so proficient in English.
He was honorcd mt an early age by places
of trust and prominence in his order and
at the general chapter in 1889 he was elect
ed prior general. 1t is related that when

Building Silos.

The essential points III building silos,
as summed up i'll bulletin on silos is
sued from the New York station, are:
To have the walls tight enough to ex-
clude air from the contents; to have
the walls not only strong, but rigid; to
have sufficient depth, 30 feet or more,
if possible. There should be not more
than about five square feet of feeding
surface III the silo for each COW. The
larger the silo the cheaper the storage
for each ton of Stage. The larger the
herd the more chcaply can silage De

When Mr.. Stewart died, the judge was
richly rewarded, for by the will he received
81, 200, 900 and was made special agent to
settle the estate Mrs. Stewart, who was
20 years old at the time, instead of giving
Judge Hilton the amount due, turned over
to him the gigantic dry goods business en-
tire, which was much more than 81, 000,-
600 She also gave him full power of at
torney to act for her in the management of
all other parts of the estate, consisting of
real estate and securities to the amount of
many millions
For many years after Judge Hilton took
control of the business it yielded great re-
turns, but these were steadily decreasing.
Since 1876 the firm has been changed eight
times, and among the partners have been
several old employees of Mr. Stewart and
the SONS of Judge Hilton About dozen
years ago Judge Hilton retired from active
membership, but Of course he has all along
stood behind the firm, settling its losses
with the Stewart millions which have
gradually passed into his hands. The bust
ness steadily shrunk, and in 1898 Judge
Hilton was called upon for $1,000, 000
Although his property was worth many
millions, he had to mortgage the old Broad
way Stewart building Hetty Green let
him have the money at 6 per cent for five
years, q triile of 1875, 600 interest, driving
the hardest bargain on record. This was

Several manufacturers Of farm nipple
meuts have made cheap corn harvesters
for doing the work by horsepower.
These are simply made i'll the form of a
sled, with large, sharp blades of steel
ON each side extending beyond the sled.
The sled is driven between the rows of
corn, with a man to drive and regulate
the cutter, while another gathers the
stalks as they are cut and dropped into
his arm. In this way two men and q
horse can cut several acres in a day.
