science in setting small Fru,t

With the approach of spring the work
of setting out many small plantations OF
fruit will begin. The question of dis
lance apart is vital one. We have
known men to develop great planta-
tions and after they had begun to bear
lament that they had not used more
science in setting them out 1t some
times transpires that a blackberry
patch is set SO closely that 1t becomes
almost impossible to gather the berries
or even to cultivate them, even by hand.
No specified rules can be laid down, as
the richness of the soil and thrift OF
variety will have much to do with the
method to be used. 1t is better to have
the plants too far apart than too near
together. The richer the soil the fur
Their away the plants should be set. Or
dinarily strawberry rows should be at
least three feet apart, and the plants be
half that distance apart in the row.
Blackberries, rows six or seven feet
apart and the plants half that in che
rows. Raspberries about the same. The
rows of currants aud gooseberries may
be six feet apart. and the plants three
feet apart in the rows. Grapes should
be seven to ten feet apart each way.
These figures are close enough and a
little further apart on rich ground
should give better results.

fruit Is to be built. 1t should have thick
walls. and there should be means Of
changing thu air. Then when the out
side is colder than that in the house,
1t can be brought in. The best way
to do this Is to have drafts In the roof
and In the basement, and by mechan-
ical means force the air through the
building. He uses steam power.
Prof. Bailey do not believe that
a man who grows fruit can afford to
have building of that kind: do not
believe 1t will pay. 1t is chiefly valua-
BILE to the commission man. There is
feature. however. OF cooperative
storage that l think will be of great
Importance in the future. There has
been great deal of talk about coop
erative buildings in New York. Such
buildings will be built near the rail-
roads, and when the fruit is thus all
collected, there will be buyers for It
The same thing happened in the cream
cry business in New York some year,
ago. The cooperative creamery stor-
age, combined with the cooperative
creamery, proved good thing.

Ridiculous PretensIons.

Statistics are going the rounds Of the
press showing how many eggs are laid
in the United States each year, how
many pounds of poultry are produced
and just how much it costs to keep
each hen, with good deal more oil

clined to ask these fellows to tell u
how many mites were on the roosts q
the poultry houses. and how many yer.
min were, on an average, of course, un-
der the wings of each fowl. There is
nothing like getting down to figures
you know.
What is the truth of the matter? The
truth is that all of these wise men
know nothing whatever about it. TheJ
can't guess within a hundred million
how many eggs were laid last year OF
any other year. No one knows any.

hens there are in the country or how
many eggs they lay.

as much as possible. The seed should
be planted early in the spring. The
rows may be 80 inches apart in the
field and 16 inches apart in the garden.

smutty Wbeat-Poor BIuestone.

In wheat deliveries at nearly all
points in the West this year the grain
is found to contain considerable smut.
A Manitoba dealer who has taken
good deal of time to inquire into til
cause OF this has traced 1t in almos,
every instance to the use of poor blue
stone. A very poor quality of bluestone
was introduced in the Manitoba mar
ket last year, of grayish color; it was
cheaper and great deal of it was used
and Las proved to be much inferior to
the real dark bluestone. He advised
that none but the best dark bluestone
be used. The matter has been thor
oughly tested on the experiment farm
at Brandon, and about one pound to
several bushels of seed should be used.

shape of Filled Cheese

Mr.. J. H. Monrad, well-known to
many of the readers of our dairy de-
partment, advocates plan for con-
trolling the manufacture and sale of
filled cheese, which seems to us very
reasonable. He thinks that the shape
of the filled cheese should be peculiar
to itself. 1t might, for instance, be
oval in shape, and of small enough size
that no ordinary cut from it could be
sold without revealing what the orig
inal shape of the whole cheese had
been. This would prevent both the
retail merchant and the consumer
from being cheated. Even the guest
at tP hotel or the traveller at the lunch
counter could tell at once whether or
not the cheese placed before him was
cut from cheese oval in shape or from
some other.

Sugar Beets.


For sugar beets use clay loan. The
land should be fall plowed and thor
oughly cultivated IN the spring. We
put in the seed with a hand drill, and
/ use for fertilizer only barnyard ma
nure. In cultivating l use a spring
tooth harrow drawn by two horses.
The crop is easily injured by drouth
We harvest in the latter part of Oc-
tober. I suppose the greatest reason
why sugar beets are not more widely
grown here is that there is no market
for them except to feed them to stock.
Some years ago a good many of the
farmers tried raising sugar beets for
an experiment, and they were well
pleased with the results, but the cost
Of factory was so great that they
abandoned the idea. 1t was discussed
several times in the farmers club, but
for the reason given above it was de-
cided that it would not pay the ordi-
nary farmer.
1t has been reported that company
was about to be formed to try the busi-
ness on some of the reclaimed lands
along the Saginaw river that were for
merly prairie and marsh lands. There
has been a number of very valuable
farms made by throwing up dikes and
keeping the water below the surface
by windmills. Some Of the finest cell
cry grown in this state comes from the
reclaimed lands along the Saginaw
river.-John IRE in Farmers Review.

The Bean Crop.

Beans do best on clay land. Pillow
the ground about four inches deep and
thoroughly pulverize the soil. About
the middle to the last of June is the
best time to plant in this locality. If
the beans are to be planted in rows,
they can be drilled in, one or two beans
every eight inches. If they are to be
grown in hills, have the hills eighteen
inches apart and put three beans In a
hill
We cultivate them as for corn, only
we are careful to get no dirt on the
leaves when wet. We harvest them as
soon as most of the bean pods are ripe,
pulling, and laying them on the ground
In thin piles. They should be dried as
much es possible. Perhaps 1t would
be better to put them in a shed under
cover, in thin layers. The chief trouble
with growing beans is, the early-plant-
ed are affected with the weevil and
the late ones are often damaged at har-
vest time by the fall rains.
We dispose of our crop here to To-
cal buyers, as there are not enough of
them grown to make it advisable to
seek any other mode of disposition.
When beans are being dried they
should not be placed in too large piles
Place them in layers thin enough for
the air to pass through. A shed built
for drying broom corn Is just the thing
for drying beans. A. L. Vaughan.

Professor Bailey. continuing, said: l
notice that when many people put rye
on their land, they leave 1t too long
before blowing 1t under. 1t should be
plowed under much earlier In the
spring than it generally is. Why,
sometimes when it is not plowed under
TIL late 1t does not decay at all that
season. have seen rye that was four
feet high plowed under; it was so tall
1t had to be dragged down with chain.
Now that land had better never have
had rye on it. It was not plowed till far
too late. and after the spring rains had
gone.
We have been greatly stirred up over
the subject Of cultivation, and we have
heard much on the subject Of weeds.
We should cover up our land in the

Sales of Sheep.-With the diminished
supply of sheep one might look for a
lessened total amount marketed. TIE
market has not yet responded to this
phase of the situation. The total num-
Der of sheep in the country has been
decreasing for number of years, and
the sales increasing. This bespeaks for
the business Loor condition. 1t sho VS.
that farmers are disposing of their
sheep. Taking the reports as given At
the first of the year in the Farmers Re-
view we find that for the four markets
of Chicago. Kansas City. Omaha and ST.
Louis the number marketed in 1889 was
2,641, 271: in 1880 It was 3,156, 297; In
1891, 3,057, 735: in 1892. 1910. 407; in 1893.
1903. 005; in 1894, APPS. 34s; in 1895. A.
933,532. This continued drain cannot
last much longer without producing a
marked effect on the prices paid for
first-class nation, but We suspect thst
the poorer grades will never again sell
at high price. The proper policy for
sheep-men therefore is to hold to the
best quality that can be secured.
