Bronze Grass.

Bronze grass, technically called Bro
mus inermis, is proving to be a most
valuable grass for dry lands, and es-
pecially for dry hills or knobs where
other grasses will not grow. 1t Is grown
for both pasture and hay and is nutri-
tious and readily eaten by stock. 1t is
so we'll adapted to the semi-arid re-
giOns Of the West that Secretary OF Ag-
riculture Wilson purchased in eastern
Europe and Asia twelve tons of seed
which he Is distributing to the farm
ers in the dry sections of the country
On even less fertile land it will yield
more hay than timothy, and as lawn
grass it make an excellent substitute
on land so dry and poor that the finer
grasses will not grow Redtop is an ex-
cellent grass for low, wet or moist lands,
timothy and clover do well on tillable
lands, and with bronze grass for pasture
and hay on the high and dry lands, the
farmers Of Kansas will be able to util-
ize all their lands to the best advantage
in raising stock.

Air In the Soil.

The Importance of the thorough culti-
walton OF the soil is recognized by all
who experiment to an extent sufficient
to show results. Air is as necessary to
the soil as moisture, for by it's admis-
sion the chemicals of the soil are put
into active operation and brought into
condition to be made quickly available
by the growing crop. The manure, the
remains of plants and much Of the hu-
mus of the soil is converted into salt
petre, that valuable chemical. When
the soil is merely stirred with hoe or
cultivator formation Of nitrates is
promoted and an increased state of fer
tility brought about by the action Of air
on the organic matter in the soil. Cul-
tiVation on large scale, therefore, can
not fail to increase the fertility by the
admission of increased air and moisture
to the soil for the direct feeding of the
plants, as we'll as by the action on the
elements In the soil, and the destruction
of nOxious weeds which rob the culti-
waited plants Of needed food.

Celery as a Second Crop.

Following early cabbage, celery may
be grown as a second crop without any
additional preparation of the soil be-
yond smoothing it down with a harrow.
The best soil for celery is heavy, deep,
sandy loan in moist situation. The
plants should be strong, vigorous and
healthy, those which have been twice
transplanted being the best. Set the
plants five inches apart each way, which
will give them plenty Of room for
growth, press the soil down firmly about
the roots and the plant, only being sure
that the crown is not covered The self
blanching varieties are not the best to
grow for market, the half dwarf being
the most desirable, all things consid-
cred. In order to have the celery crisp
and tender blanching must be done with
earth, no matter what the variety may
be. II necessary to enrich the soil, use
stable manure in deep trenches, we'll
packed down at the bottom and the
trench filled up to the level Of the sur
rounding soil before the plants are set.

Thinning 0rapeS.

There is no fruit that gives better
illustration Of the value of thinning
than the grape, and none in which the
process so often turns the scale from
loss to profit. The work should be per-
formed early in order to secure the
best results. AS soon as the grape buds
burst into shoots the fruiting buds
viii be plainly seen, usually three buds
ON each shoot, and more on some va
Tietles that have tendency to over
bear. 1t will be easily seen which will
make the largest and best clusters, and
only these should be left to fruit. This
method Of early thinning is especially
worthy of practice on the late bearing
varieties and will result in earlier,
larger and better fruit.

Young Chicks.

Many complaints are heard at this sea-
son of the year, mainly from those who
have had their first experience with
the incubator, regarding the large pro-
portion Of the chicks Matched which die
during the first two or three weeks after
Matching. In most cases the fault is
laid to the Incubator, which is hardly
fair. The cold, wet weather has been
hard on little chicks and caused the loss
OF many Of them. Overheated brooders,
overcrowding and poor ventilation are
also responsible for many deaths among
chicks. 1t is safe to say, however, that
the main trouble is due to inherited
weakness, and when this is the case no
amount of care or attention in feeding
will overcome the trouble. Chicks will
often hatch in the incubator on time,
or little before time, and be extremely
lively for few days or even for two or
three weeks, and then suddenly die.
Chicks hatched by the old hen frequently
do the same thing. There is more in the

Handling the Bull.

AS rule the bull is as capricious as
the stallion. He must be carefully
watched, and never by chance have an
opportunityto discover his strength and
power He should be handled and cared
for by one person only, and such per-
son should be man of courage and
firmness, yet not given to brutality. A
bull may not be easily managed by ex-
treme kindness, but he certainly cannot
be properly handled with the assistance
Of a club or pitchfork. He should be
kept in a box stall and locked in, and
when in the yard should not be placed
in sight Of the cows. Have feeding ar
rangements so placed that the wants OF
the bull may be attended to without his
being able to attack the attendant, If he
were so inclined. Raise a bull Of good
breed and keep him as long as he per-
forms good service. If we'll treated he
will make very little trouble, especially
If you convince him early, by firm yet
not cruel measures, that you are master
and propose to remain so. Do not trust
him far, yet on the other hand, do not
let him see that you mistrust him.

Rlpening Cream.

The vessel should be so kept that the
cream will ripen evenly, thus avoiding
loss in Churning. The temperature
should be kept between go and go un-
til the cream is ripe, and 1t should then
be cooled before churning. Well-rip-
ened cream should be so thick that it
will run in a smooth stream like oil,
and when the paddle is dipped into 1t
and held up the cream should stick all
over it like thick coat of paint, and
churning should be continued until the
granules are the size of wheat kernels,
then draw off the buttermilk and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the churn around a few times. From
pint to a quart of water to the pound Of
butter should be used, an this water
should be at temperature of 400 to
450 in hot weather, and from 500 to 800
in winter, depending upon the solidity OF
the butter, size Of granules and warmth
Of room.

Black Knot on Plum Trees.

One Of the worst enemies to plum
trees is the black knot, which is a rough
black bunch growing on the tree. It
ia caused by an insect and destroys the
life of the tree where it grows. The
best, and in fact about the only rem
edy, Is to cut these knots out as soon
as they are discovered, and they should
be burned at once to keep 1t from
spreading to other trees. AS soon as the
young knots appear they should be cut
out clean and the wound saturated with
chloronaptholeum which can be OBJ
tanned at any drug store. This will de-
stroy the germs Of the disease and a
new growth of healthy wood will soon
cover the wound.

Food Values of Grains.

A better understanding of the value
of the several grains as food will en-
able the stockman to feed with greater
profit, just as knowledge of the chem
ical elements Of the soil will enable
the farmer to grow better crops. Beans
and peas have about "a per cent. of
albuminoids,or or double the quantity con-
tanned in wheat bran or oats; while bar
ley, InGian corn, buckwheat and rice
are almost wholly devoid of albumin
oids. Oats are strong in carbohydrates.

ing also strong in this element. Oats
contain about per cent of fats, corn
about s per cent, while wheat and peas

Plum Culture.

Mr.. J. w. Kerr, Of Maryland, has ex-
perimented extensively in plum culture.
He has from 10000 to $4,000 plum trees
and has tested all kinds and varieties,
so that his experience is valuable. He
prefers grating on peach roots and
planting deep enough so that the plum
will send out it's own roots near the
surface of the ground. He objects to the
Mariana stock as it is grown from cut
tings and will produce suckers. He finds
that the Japanese plums are not much
longer lived than the peach, that the
fruit Is generally inferior and inclined to
rot, that the European or domestic are
not sure or profitable, and that plums
Of American origin are by far the best
for this country. Among the many va
rieties of the American type he spe-
cially recommends the Whitaker, Mil
ton, Clifford and Wild Goose. AS these
are sometimes unfruitful from lack of
sufficient pollen he plants Smiley or
Newman among them as pollen pro-
ducers to fertilize the other varieties.

Rape for Poultry.

Green foods for poultry have been
frequently advised, and among them is
rape. If no preparations have yet been
made for a supply of green food for
summer use, rape should be sown at any
time up to the middle of July. Pre-
pare the ground as for root crops and
SOW the seed broadcast or In drills thir-
ty inches apart. Cover about the same
as turnip seed and cultivate until it
gets fair start 1t will grow rapidly
aud may be cutand fed to fowls, although
II sown by the drill in rows the poultry
may be turned into the patch once or
twice week. One or two pounds of
seed will SOW an acre, drilled in, and
will supply green food for large flock
of fowls until late in the fall.

Tool for Killing Weeds.

The weeds in lawns and pastures may
be easily killed by the use of the tool
commonly known as the "spud" which
is simply a steel blade two inches wide
and four inches long, resembling a
chisel. The blade is fastened to handle
Of convenient length and kept sharp.
To operate it with the least danger to
the sod, the blade should be thrust into
the sod at an angle to cut off the weed
about an inch below the crown. BY the
use Of this tool no unsightly cuts are
made in the lawn as when a hoe is used.
and If the blade is kept short a long
area can be gone over in short time.
If made of tempered steel the blade may
be Of thin material, which will cut easier
and leave fewer scars in the sod.

MOOre's Early Grape.

This excellent grape was originated
nearly thirty years ago and yet it has
not come into the general cultivation
which its merits deserve. It was one
out Of $500 seedlings planted by John
B. Moore, of Massachusetts. It pro-
duced it's first fruit in 1872 and in 1877
the Massachusetts Horticultural So
ciety awarded a prize Of $50 to Mr..
Moore for the best new Seeding grape,
Moore's Early. 1t is a black grape Of
large size, good quality and the earliest
profitable grape SO far produced. It is
hardy and a prolific bearer, ripens
week or ten days before the Concord,
and in warm location on sandy soil
will often precede the Concord by two
weeks. It's earliness, hardness, large
size and excellent quality make 1t a
very desirable grape for home use as
well as the market

Feeding UntEreshed Oats.

Oat straw has a value as food too
great to permit OF its use as bedding, If
the practice Of feeding oats unthreshed
was more general a still greater saving
would result. Cut the crop several days
before the grain ripens, which will leave
the straw in better condition, and save
loss Of the grain from the heads in
handling. If cut with a mower they
should be cut greener than when put
up in bundles. The oats may be kept in
a stack out of doors il properly pro-
tected, but it is best to put them up in
bundles and then stack them in the
barn. In feeding the coarse butt ends of
the stalks should be cut off and used for
bedding, the rest of the stalk being run
through cutter. Both horses and cat
tie seem to relish unthreshed oats, and
fed in this way the tendency on the part
Of horses to bolt the grain is overcome
and the thorough mastiCation of both
grain and straw will keep the animals
in good condition.

Wood Ashes for Orchards.

The claim has been repeatedly made
that wood ashes acted as a preventive
of the scab so destructive in apple Or
chards, and they have been used in
large quantities for this purpose. AS a
matter Of fact, wood ashes are of no
value for the purpose named, but the
disease is readily overcome by the use
Of Bordeaux mixture. Wood ashes are
valuable in apple orchards when the
season is what is known as a slow grow
ing one, in promoting the growth Of late
sorts and assisting them in reaching a
more nearly ripened condition. Wood
ashes also assist in adding high color
to the fruit and have some value as a
fertilizer.

Cotton Seed for Stock.

Those who have tried 1t say that cot
tOnseed will kill hogs in short time
where 1t is fed to them freely, and that
1t is not a desirable food for fattening
either hogs or cattle. Cottonseed meal
is sometimes used in connection with
corn for feeding cattle because of its
cheapness, but it produces soft, oily
flesh, not so firm or good in quality as
that produced by feeding corn. Oil
meal, which is the meal made from fax
seed after the oil has been pressed out,
Is a wholesome food for hogs and cat
tie when fed in connection with corn
or other ratlons

Profitable Bean Culture.

The bean crop will be likely to bring
good prices the coming fall, owing to the
demands of the army, and 1t will pay to
put in at least a small area. The gem
eral wet weather throughout the coun-
try has prevented earlier planting, but
seed may be put in up to the middle
OF July If the weather is favorable. Any
good corn land will give a good crop Of
beans, but the soil must be well har-
.TOwed and kept free of weeds. OF the
pea beans about eighteen quarts to the
acre In drills should be sown, or from
twenty to twenty-four quarts Of the

This is a Seeding gooseberry of the
English type and the Columbus as

all the merits essential to successful
growth. The plant is vigorous grower,
the foliage clean and healthy. It is ex-
Ceedingly productive,t the berries are oval

smooth skin. The berry is as large as
the English varieties and the quality is
excellent. The variety shows its strong
English blood in that during the sew
eral years 1t has been cultivated no trace
of mildew has yet been discovered. Mil
dew is the greatest enemy Of the goose
berry, and it seems almost impossible
to grow the American varieties because
of this trouble, while the English sorts
do not thrive in our climate. A grower
of repute claims to be able to overcome
mildew by the use of powdered lime
sifted over the plants early in the sea-
son. On small scale this treatment
has been found beneficial, although large
growers use solution of potassium
sulphide made by dissolving one ounce
of the poison in three gallons Of water,
The Advocate and news., 1898-07-06

and spraying the plant at intervals Of
ten days, making several applications
in all.
