Giant Knotweed or sachaline.
IPolygonum Sachalinense.)

JPOlyROnum SaCnalln6uS6.J
This is a hardy herbaceous peren-
NAL, six to twelve feet high, with
strong, extensively creeping root
stocks. The plant is a native of an
island off the Siberian coast where it
grows along moist river banks. 1t was
introduced into England about 1870
and has been quite generally cultivated
in the botanical gardens of Europe.
At a time of great drought in France
In 1898 it was discovered that cattle
would eat the leaves and tender
branches of this plant and member
of the French Academy presented a
paper suggesting that it might prove
a valuable addition to the list of fod-
der plants. This seems to be the first
intimation that sachaline had any for
age value, but the idea was at once
taken up by others, and the hardness,
the rapid growth and other qualities
of the plant were extolled and en-
larged upon by interested parties.
Within the past year or so most eX-
travagant accounts of the value of
bachaline for forage have appeared in
American papers and seed catalogues
All who have had experience with the
plant advise caution in its introduce
ton because of its very strong, spread
ing and persistent rootstocks. A writ.

had some experience with the plan

growth of all plants, ana that
nearly all agricultural soils con-
tain a sufficient supply of all except
three of these, to be practically mex
haustible. These three are nitrogen
phosphoric acid and potash. The farm
srs of New York are already paying
annually five million dollars for these
three elements in the form of CONNER
cial fertilizers, paying IL cents per
pound for nitrogen, AZ cents pound
for phosphoric acid, and Az cents
pound for potash. Inasmuch
as two different plants do not require
elements of fertility in the same pro-
portion, a proper rotation Of crops VIII

Ing is also of the utmost Importance.
Farms in the older portions OF the
state from which the most grain mas
been sold present sad contrast TO ad-
joining farms where stock growing
or dairying has been the leading in
dustry, and upon which the products
OF the farm have been more largely
fed. 1t would seem that so
long as we can purchase bran or lin
seed meal from Minnesota and the Da-
kctas, or cotton seed products from the
south, and can get first cost or more
In the milk pail or from stock grown,
1t would be wiser for us to add this
fertility to our farms than to see 1t so
to enrich the lands of Europe. Men
still leave manure in the yard all sum-
mer to rot, knowing full well that they
are losing the use of it for year, and
that even when piled in the most ap-
proved form, it will, on the average,
lose more than half its value If al
lowed to remain there six months in
the summer season. II spread out
over the surface of the yard the loss
would be even greater. While the loss
from these piles has been ascertained
from carefully tried experiments, it
seems incomprehensible to the major
9 lty of farmers, If not really incredi-
ble.. We all recognize the difference
In strength between leached and I'M
Ieached ashes, and we might make the
same contrast between leached and I'M
leached barnyard manure. Some farm
ers have recognized these facts and
have made provisions for saving these
teachings, which are the most avail
able, if not the most valuable portion.
They have dug cellars under their sta
bles with water-tight floors. This is an
excellent place for the storage of the
manure, but the fumes arising from this
decaying vegetation fill the atmosphere
with impurities and permeate the hay
loft and the meal bin, rendering the
feed unwholesome. Covered barnyards
have been advocated by some OF our
eastern farmers, but are expensive.
Sheds large enough for a few months
accumulations might be practicable,
but as manure never gains anything
by age, except in solubility, I believe
the better way is to take it to the field
as directly from the stable as conVen-
lent and spread out at once.

Fruit Saved bv Ice.

During recent cold snap in Florida,
an orange-grower named Felt saved
his trees and fruit by spraying them
with water. When he found the Their
mometer Z degrees below the freezing
point, he took his spraying apparatus
into the grove and turned a fine mist
upon the trees, which froze as quick as
1t struck them. The mist was kept
playing upon each tree till it was COM
pletely encased in ice from the ground
up, appearing like an ice statue, so firm
that 1t could not be shaken. The wealth
did not moderate enough to thaw them
out till the fourth day, but when the
warm sun came out and caused the ice
to gradually rot and drop off, not leaf
wilted.
Commenting on this, DR.. A. M. Rag
land, the noted horticulturist of Pilot
Point, Texas, says a sleet in April,
many years ago, completely enveloped
young plums and peaches as large as
marbles, in North Texas, without in
juring either the fruit or leaves. The
coating of ice stops evaporation, and

Pruning Ounce Trees.-Quince trees
are probably less pruned than any 9TH
er variety of fruit. The habit of send
ing upward several shoots from the
same root is defended by some on the
theory that if the borer destroys one
of the shoots others will take it's place.
But it as in these neglected clumps of
trees that the borer breeds and multi
plies, until ounce growing becomes
impossible. 1t is far better to con-
fine the growth to a single stem, and
then watch for borers every June and
September, letting none escape. Many
sucker shoots will sprout up from the
roots of ounce trees confined to one
stem. These may be transplanted, and
will soon extend the ounce orchard
to as great an extent as desired. There
will be a new crop of plants two feet
or more high to be dug up and trans
planted every fall. 1t requires only
tlur to FIVE years for these young trees
to begin to bear, and every year for
the next ten succeeding will increase
the value of their crop. The ounce
tree is always inclined to grow too long
branches. The quality of its fruit will
be bettered by shortening those that
are Inclined to grow most vigorously.

The Picnic Question.

The present condition of the
picnic question is somewhat
amusing. One week ago the an
nouncement was made that the
Metropolitan band would give a
picnic and would extend invita-
tions to the Sunday-schools and
other organizations to accompany
them. Today it is very difficult
to tell whether it is the band, the
railroads, Capt. Paine, the
Meadows Land Improvement Co.,
or private individuals that is get
ting up the picnic. A great deal
is being said about the place of
holding the picnic and the best
day on which to hold it, but the
important question to decide first
is, who is getting up the picnic.
That question settled we will
then be in shape to consider time
and place. II this is a band pic
mic as has been intimated, let
that organization select their own
time and place and then let in
vited organizations either accept
or reject their invitation.
