Timely Thought PAYS.

To get the best results, out of agricul-
tural work of all kinds. it must be the
result of thought and a certain amount of
planning, before time for actual working
arrives No one who has had any ex-
perience need be told that some of the
best work on the farm, garden, orchard,
etc, is done in the fall and winter, and it
becomes necessary to study out in the
summer and arrive at a positive conclu-
sion exactly what one intends 10 do iu
the fall if he would have himself i'm d
good state of preparation for the work
when the time arrives for him to do IL.
From September to December much of the
most profitable work of the year is done,
or can he done by the farmer and trucker
in southern attitudes.
During the period covered by the above
months-SeptemOe to December-is the
most appropriate time for setting out
fruit and nut trees, hedge plants, straw
berry and raspberry plants, the sowing
small grain, the seeding down of new pas
lures and meadows, the planting of sew
eral of the leading vegetable grown by
market gardeners and truckers, such as
spinach, aspara gus, onions, cabbage In
fact, it is only those who understand the
value of the fall and early winter plant
ings that can make the best results in
fruit, grain and vegetable growing.
Inc harvesting OF the ta!l made crops
may cause much of this work that should
be done i'm the fall to be neglected, un-
less one does some good planning in the
summer and so manages to be prepared
to commence upon it a the earliest pos
sible moment-taking care of course not
to make a beginning too early.
BY studying the catalogues and engage
ing in the necessary correspondence now
with the parties that supply the seeds,
plants and trees, that you will need this
fall you can get just what you want in
due time for planting out all the fruit or
nut trees, small fruit plants, grapes or
strawberries, raspberries, oat and rye
seed, grass and clover and vegetable
seeds.
The morning news., 1897-08-30

What are the essentials to success in
clover culture? They are the same here
as they are in every other section of the
country. and can be briefly enumerated in
a very few lines.
1. Good seed-seed that have vitality
and that will grow when placed in the
soil
2. Soil that has the elements of fertility
in it necessary TO produce a crop.
3. Soil properly prepared with plow and
harrow
4. Sowing made at the proper time with
a proper quantity of seed sown properly
and likewise covered.
The essentials are certainly few and
are briefly stated. and we should be very
glad to have a statement from any far
mer who has essayed clover culture.
either with the red or Burr or Bokhara
or white. and has observed these condl-
tions and met with failure.
The attempt to establish clover in the
south has doubtless been frustrated in
thousands of instances altogether but il
has been the result of a violation of the
essential requirements of culture either
wholly or in part as set forth above.
Worthless seed has been the sole cause
of innumerable failures with many who
set out to demonstrate the possibility of
successful clover culture in the south.
The first failure discouraged many, and
a second attempt was not repeated The
conviction fastened upon many that 1t
was useless TO try any further 10 establish
clover on their land What might have
been a splendid success in pointing the
way 10 a higher system or farming was
nipped in the bud, as 1t were, by the mis-
fortune of having been furnished sterile
seeds. Much the larger quantity of clover
seed sold in the south have been of this
character.
Others again have perhaps sown good
seed but at an improper time. Frost
| heaved out the young plants shortly after
growth had started, and a second attempt
was not ventured upon. Seeds were not
easily procurable, perhaps as Is usually
the case in most sections of the state. The
land nicely prepared for the clover. doubt
less, was devoted to some other crop.
and the clover experiment indefinitely
postponed.
Others again sowing good seed and SOW
ing at the proper time, perhaps, allotted
land that was altogether unsuited TO the
experiment and could make only stunt
ed growth at best Failure here also dis
couraged any further attempt in clover
culture. Then again It was sometimes
the case that the experimenter thought
lessly plowed In his seed, as he would so
much rye or oats. Being covered too
deep Che bulk Of the seed an inadequate
stand resulted, and fhis was powed up
to make way for some other crop that
was regarded as more reliable.
Thus from various cause, the hearty
desire to inaugurate better system Of
farming, involving more attention to stock
and to the recuperatOn of soil that was
gradually yet steadily tending TO sterility
was foiled, and many failed to recognize
the fact that the failure was only the
legitimate result of violated laws which.

design, must always he the same TO In

Growing "PickIe, Onions.

A good many growers at the north and
west make quite a business of growing
small onions, designed exclusively for sale
to the pickle establishments Thousands
of bushels are made into pickles which
find a very large sale, either put up by
themselves or in mixture with other ma
terias.
The growing OF these small onions is a
very simple matter, and any one who de-
sires them for picking can grow them in
their own garden, whether a gallon is all
that is wanted or bushel or more.
Onions, cucumbers and artichokes are
three Vegeta bles always in demand for
pickle-making, and every farmers wife
should have more or less of all to convert
into pickles, for it is something every
one should use to some extent during the
winter and spring and early summer, as
their use is very conducive to health
White onions are the only kinds grown
for pickles, and there are several Varie-
ties that are especially adapted to the
purpose. The White Baretta, naturally
The smallest Of onions, is very generally
grown for the purpose, but the New Queen
and the White Portugal will do as well.
The main thing IS to sow them thichly,
so that only small onions can be made.
The quality of the land must regulate
the quantity of seed to be soWn. If pos
sible, select medium soil rather than the
richest. Servings can be made either
broadcast or in drills.
As a rule the drill plan is the better
Break the soil and level with harrow or
rake Then draw shallow drills with a
piece of board about an inch wide. Along
this drill SOW the seeds thicky; how thick
ly depends again upon their quality. Seeds
may be 90 per cent good, or they may not be
better than p per cent. Usually allowance
must be made for good many defective
seeds. / the fresh crop Of seeds are used
and obtained from reputable scotsman,
Il is possible that 80 per cent. will grow.
Old seeds win oftentmes give less even
than 10 per cent. OF plants. The profession
al gardener will always test his onion
seeds before planting them, in order TO
know what allowance must be made for
defective ones.
OF good seeds every square inch should
receive five OF six seeds. More than this II
OF doubtful character. Cover lightly with
a rake and roll the drills with "a roller, or
"a barrel will answer. Just enough shallow
cultivation with the hoe should be given
70 keep the grass and weeds down. This
sowing can be made any time, In March
and up TO the middle Of April, but the ear
lier the better. A maxim IN onion culture
IS 10 XIII the weeds before they come up.
Let an onion bed once get weedy In the
early stage and the undertaking to clean
IL VIII be discouraging, II not dlshearton-
ing Something Is gained usually by soak
ing the seeds twenty-four or thirty-six
hours before sowing, They should be rolled
in plaster or ashes previously 20 sowing
however, else they viii not be easily dis'ri-
Dutcd.
As soon as the tops begin 10 turn yellow
the young onion should be pulled up and
allowed TO dry In the sun. Then spread out
thlnly under shelter until arrangements
for picking is completed.
