KEEP THE GROUND S STIRRED.

O-e object of cultivation, is to kill
the weeds. They draw nourishment
from the soil, absorb the moisture, and
thus rob the growing crop of both food
and drink. II isn'C best to let them get
a start; cultivate early, don't let them
get strong and defiant! They may be
uprooted and killed by the thousand
when they frs show above ground,
with the same labor that will be re
qIired to kill them by the dtz2n later
on, says the Rural New Y Jrker.
But destroying weeds is not the only
object of cultivation, though soma
farmers seem to think 80. The spring
rains have filed the ground with water
but the hot sun and wind are rapidly
driving it up, and it is passing { if into
the atmosphere again. The growing
plants need the moisture: dnn1't lee iU
ekc8pe. Shallow ard frequent Cultiva
ton with a fine tooth cultiva5or, will
keep the soil fine and loose on top, and
will prevent the evaporation of moist
ure. The past two summers here have
been exceedingly dry. Springs and
wells which had never been known to
fail have dried up. Where not cult
waited, the earth has been as dry as it
could possibly be, apparently, for many
feet below the surface; but in my gar
den and straw berry patch patch, which
1 kept well cultivated with IA tooth
cultivator, the ground was moist and
in good tilth at any time during the
season, and the crops did not suffer
from the drought. The top soil stirred
by the cultivator, was about as dry
and loose as ashes; but when one
brushed if that two inches of dry soil
or dust, he found the soil moist and
friable
One of the hardest things have had
to do is to teach my hired help to hoe
Not one in fifty understands the first
principles of proper hoeing. I set a
man last week to hoeing fl I'D of straw
berries which had lately been set. They
were set unavoidably, when the ground
was quite wet, and as a conse qIence,
it was quite hard about the plants 1
had cultivated as close to them as l
could with the cultivator, and set the
hired man to loosen the soil about the
plants, and destroy the weeds that
were j lst appearing above ground. Be-
ing busy at something else, did not
notice how he was doing his work but
when l examined it, I found that he
had hoed the earth away from the
plants, leaving the hard surface bare,
with the marks made with the spade in
setting the plants in the wet ground ex
posed. 1t would have been better not
to have hoed them at all, for the cult
vator had thrown some loose earth
about the plants which he had re
moved. BuI that is the way, find.
that great many hoe. The soil should
be loosened and made foe about the
plants, and what has been removed in
hceing out the weeds, should be re-
placed. We may almost defy the
drought, if proper attention be given
to cultivation.

l can tell your readers what will
take the grubs out of the cows backs.
Just slft strong wood ashes on them
during drizz,e. 1t will take everyone
out Snuff sprinkled down the cows
or horses backs will take the lice off
Ashes sprinkled over the Irish potatoes
or cucumber vines will drive the bugs
off. Stove ashes will do for that.

From the fourth week on the young
pigs need care on their own account, as
they want other food than that from
their dams, and, as this is the most i'm
portant and profitable period of their
lives, the attention given should not be
hindered nor slackened; and yet the
temptation is to bestow the more care
to the older hogs.

FRUIT GROWERS oRGAN!z7 z.

The fruit grover at their final see
sion in Chicago, last week, decided to
form an organization, to be called the
American Fruit Growers Union. A
plan of association was drawn up,
which includes the various State
Unions, each of which will send repre-
sentatives to the National Union. Each
State will be entitled to one Vice P tesi
dent, who may also represent the State
in the Central body. Headquarters
will be established in Chicago, as the
central point of the fruit shippers of
the c)untry. A manager will be sta
toned here, who will watch the mar
kets and send d. lily bulletiLs of the
prices and supply and demand to every
shipping point throughout the country.
THIS manager will also control the
fuL d5 of the Union, which will be de
posted in the First National Bank of
Chicago. Annual meetings will be held
at soma central point for the election
of off GERS and making of rules and
regulations to govern the Union. The
off GERS elected for the frst year are:
John D. Cunningham, President; Willis
Brown, Secretary; Executive Commit
tee, John D Cunningham, Willis Brown,
E R. Jennette, G.. II Fay, G.. W. Ben.
son, j. F. Chamblin, and W. a. Gard
ner. A Vice President was elected for
each State in the Union, and one for
British Columbia The next general
meeting will be held in Chicago the
second Tuesday in May, 1897.
