RIDGE CULTURE.

As Means of Forcing Vegetables to an
Early Maturity.
A contributor to American Gardening
furnishes this report on experiments In
ridging the soil as a means Of forcing
vegetables to an early maturity. he
writes:
began with peas. The soil was
thrown into ridges three feet apart with
an ordinary plow during the previous
autumn. As soon as the tops Of the
ridges were dry enough to work a
smoothing harrow was run over twice
and furrow four or five inches deep
made upon each ridge with a Planet Jr.
cultivator. Peas were then sown by
hand and covered by the Planet Jr., two
ridges being also worked down to o
level and planted in the same manner
the same day. The spring was very
cold, with frequent frosts until June,
but not exceptionally wet. The peas
planted on ridges were ready for pick
ing June 30, while those planted on the
''level" were not ready till June %.
The variety was First and Best. This
was in the season of 1895.
In 1895 the same experiment. was
tried, but the season was warm from
the first (only one frost during April)
and the difference In the time Of matur-
ing was only three days.
Ground for early potatoes was pre-
pared in the same manner as above de-
scribed for peas, Early Ohio being the
variety used. In the first season (1896)
they were cut down repeatedly by frost
and were failure. In 1896 Early Ohio
was planted 4 to inches deep on ridges
8 feet apart, seed pieces 10 inches apart
In the row. They were planted April
10. A weeder was run over the ground
every few days, but this merely kept
the tops Of the ridges pulverized. Two
weeks after the potatoes were planted
the spaces between the rows were filed
nearly to the top with very strong
horse manure just from the stable. Rain
soon settled this, SO we were able to
run the weeder until the vines were too
large to admit Of it. They were allowed
to get perfectly ripe before being dug.
The yield was at the rate Of 800 bushels
per acre merchantable tubers, very few
small ones and remarkably free from
scab.
EARLY Ohio planted on good land in
the ordinary manner with level culture
ripened prematurely from blight. which
prevented an accurate estimate as to
the difference in earliness. The yield
was 96 bushels per acre; many small
ones and exceedingly scabby. The seed
used was the same in both cases and
was free from scab SO far as the eye
could detect.
Experiments with sweet corn, cab
bages and tomatoes were also made
with ridge culture, and the contrast in
earliness was very marked, especially
with the sweet corn.

Bedding For Horses.

It Is q common practice for livery
men to use sawdust as bedding for
horses where that is abundant and straw
is hard to get. But if you raise grain
we should advise you to save what is
needed for bedding, no matter though
the sawdust be offered free. SaWdust
with manure makes it very hard to rot,
much more SO than is straw, though
both, being carbon, have scarcely any
manurial value Market gardeners OBJ
ject to having sawdust in manure piles,
thongh they always compost their ma
nure before using. It is better to use
either bedding as economically as posi-
bic, and without doubt long straw bed
ding can be used with less waste than
can sawdust, partly because it is less
absorptive. The exurenent, either liquid
or solid, passes through the straw with
out doing more than tiiscclor 1t. So by
shaking ont and drying the straw can
be used repeatedly until it has rotted
and broken up. The liquid manure Is
best saved, not by absorbent bedding,
but by layer Of three or four inches Of
wood loan underneath the horse OF
COW. This also is much better for horses
feet than standing on hard floors, either
of wood or concrete. A little chopped
straw lying on this Garth will prevent
the animal from being soiled with it
The earth flooring should be cleaned out
once a week. and replaced with new.
With the excremant it has absorbed 1t
will then be quits rich. but if the loan
is scarce il may be dried and used re-
peatedly until it has absorbed all it ID
capable of holding. American -Culti-
vator.
