Glover and Timothy Together,

This system of work fitted our cir
cumstances, with clover-timothy hay
and with barn room to accomm odate
1t. We never tried to raise clover
alone, and do not reciprocate the
sentiment of those who belittle the ex-
cellent qualities of this grass. The
two suit each other SO we'll that it
seems like criticising Mother Nature
to divorce them. Sown together
these two plants fully occupy the
ground as they grow side by side, the
timothy filling spots left vacant by the
trifolium, or deserted by it later when
its biennial mission is ended. And
when it comes to harvesting the crop
timothy acts as a go-between or nurse
in helping to cure the clover which is
difficult to handle separately. Except
to those who can control plenty of
help, haying cannot be prosecuted
under ideal conditions, so far as pre-
serving all the crop at that stage when
the chemist informs us the green crop
contains the most available nutritive
qualities. While haying may usually
begin when the crop is at or near its
best, the later cut hay may have
passed to the stage where it is less
digestible, and this is one of the un-
avoidable losses which must be met
philosophically. Farm, Stock and

APennsylvania commission, charged
with the difficult task of devising
some means whereby convict labor
can be utilized without interfering
with union labor, has found, after two
years of inquiry, nothing better, un-
der existing statute restrictions, than
the New York plan of utilizing such
labor in the making of supplies for
state institutions. The members of
the commission approve of the Euro
pean plan of making army stores and
equipments in the prisons. That plan,
of course, is not applicable in this
country, where ordinarily there is no
such demand for war material, but
Pennsylvania is supporting 80, 900 in

plies for that INDECENT army would

Sa wdust ON the Farm.

Tn many sections sawdust can be
purchased at price that makes IL
valuable in farm operations. II should
not be used on light or sandy soils,
but on clay land or on land inclined
to be wet IL will loosen up the soil as
well as enrich it. In the stock barn,
and especially with cows, sawdust is
valuable for bedding, readily absorb
ing the liquid manure aud retaining
it, so that the effect is plainly visible
when the sawdust is applied to the
soil as fertilizer. As summer
mulch for strawberry plants sawdust
is equal to anything used for that
purpose. 1t is too heavy for winter
mulch except between the rows, but
it may be used in connection with
some coarser material like leaves or
straw, and will be valuable. It must
be remembered that the value of saw
dust as fertilizer is but nominal and
its chief value, in its application to the
soil, is after it has been used in the
stable as an absorbent for the liquid
manures so often lost through care

Subsoiling has the advantage of

The interior walls of the silo should

Manure and Fertilizers.

A ton of manure with ten pounds
Of nitrogen, twelve pounds of potash
and six pounds of phosphoric acid in
it, is worth more to you in the end for
farm crops, as rule, although, per-
haps, not 80 Immediately available,
than the same number of pounds of
these ingredients in any fertilizer on
earth. This is because the manure
furnishes vegetable matter to decay
in the soil and has beneficial bac-
terial effect, neither of which you get
from commercial fertilizers.
Now, here is the substance of the
whole matter, and every honorable
agricultural paper or institute worker
or fertilizer man will agree with it
heartily. We want you to save all
your manure, and not let part of it 90
to waste and then huy back the same
ingredients You lost. We want you

on nm average. Two per cent. means,
of course, two pounds in 100 or 40 in
n ton. Figure this at IA cents. Then
figure the phosphoric acid that is
available, soluble and reverted, at
8 1-2 cents. Next the potash at 8
cents; then add 20 per cent. for mix
ing and you will have fair idea Of
what the fertilizer is worth, or rather,
what You should pay for it. Do not
let any interested party fool you into
thinking that ton OF wheat straw
will not be worth more to you in the
end, properly used on your farm, than
S2 worth of any fertilizers you can
buy. Where quick action is wanted,
OF course, you can get fertilizer that
will do better than the straw, but in
the long run you will lose by selling
straw Mt S2 and buying fertilizers with
the money. 1 would not sell it at 81
ton. The vegetable matter that the
straw adds to the soil is too valuable.

Pruning Fruit Trees.

Summer pruning tends to form fruit
buds while trimming in the spring
produces wood growth. Trim each
year, but only enough to cut out cross
branches aud water sprouts. A tree
can sometimes be induced to bear
yearly by removing half of the fruit
buds and permitting it to bear half
crop only each season. II is, how
ever, usually more practicable to allow
nature to take its course and let the
trees bear each alternate year. Let
each tree assume its individual shape
and do not try to have all look alike.

Forcing Tomatoes In Winter.

Seed for the crop was sown Sep
tember fifteen in 2 10 inch flats filled
with loan and sand in proportion Of
four to one. Professors Mason and
Hall, Bulletin 10, Kansas experiment
station. In three weeks plants were
taken from the flats and set in 2 1-2
inch pots. These were twice repotted
and finally on December 10 were set
in benches. All the vines were trained
on trellis and after the branches
were established pruning consisted in
cutting out weak foliage and occa-
sionally thinning the more vigorous
plants. When the plants we're small
the watering was done by means OF a
sprinkler, but after they were set in
the bench the ground was watered
twice week with heavy spray from
the hose. Later the soil was soaked
heavily every eighth day by flooding.
After each wetting, when the soil be-
came dry it was cultivated lightly and
leveled of. Toward the end OF the
season no cultivation was given.
The vines made vigorous growth
from the time they we're set in the
bench and considerable quantity of
the foliage had to be removed to pre-
vent shutting out the light. The fruit
season was ended about June 12. This
need not be done, for as the tomato is
a continuous bloomer, it could be
kept bearing so long as the vines can
be cared for and the fruit disposed
of. The fruit was smaller than that
grown out of doors, but still quite
fair-sized, many of the tomatoes being
three inches in diameter. They were
uniformly smooth and in good condi-
tion. BY February "a all varieties
but one gave from one to three ripe
fruit. The yield from the rows placed
nearest the glass was the least. giving
f03 against LOG pounds from the front
row or that further from the glass.
The time from the planting of the
seed until the ripening of the first
fruit is 23 weeks. About half this
time the plants grew in flats and took
up little room. The crop was allowed
to bear 8 12 months. Winter toma-
toes were novelty to most people,
and at first they were bought slowly,
but as the people became more famil-
lar with them they sold readily.
In tests made at the Geneva (N.Y.)
station in forcing tomatoes it was
found that plants trained to single
stems are more profitable than three
stem plants for winter tomatoes, the
fruits on the single stems are heavier
and greater in number, so that the
total yield per square foot Of bench is
decidedly larger. 1t was also found
that the amount Of fruit ripening dur
ing the first six weeks of fruiting is
much greater for the single plants.
Very little difference was found in the
yield of plants grown in pots from
from those grown in benches in the
single-stem tomatoes, but with the
three-stem system using the pots
seemed to be decided advantage.

The authorities of Portland, Ore, i,
believe that they have solved the
problem of economical street sprink-
ling, and the explanation of the way
they do it is q revelation of how that
far Western city is gridironed with
street railways. There are at least
thirty miles of track within the city,
as the contract for sprinkling covers
that amount of highway on which
rails are laid. Each mile of the thir-
ty is to be sprinkled once daily, Sun
days excepted, the work to be done
by the street railroad company with a
motor sprinkling cart. The city fur
nishes the water, and the railroad COM
pany distributes it for $400 month.
Not counting the cost of the water, the
expense is about Sl3 per mile per
month. That is certainly less than it
would cost the city to do the work
through its street department. The
cost per city lot of fifty feet frontage
is about seven cents a month.

The New York Tribune saws -
Amid all the talk about German in
terests at Manila, it is well to bear in
mind that there are only four German
trading-houses in that city, that there
is no direct line of vessels between
Germany and the Philippines, and
that no cargoes are ever sent from
either country to the other. The
amount of German trade must there
fore be small. 1t could not we'll be
large. The chief products of the is
lands are sugar, hemp and copra. Ev-
identity no sugar could be sent to
Germany, which is sugar-exporting
country. The hemp goes to all parts
of the world, but chiefly by way of
Great Britain. The copra is practi-
cally all taken by Great Britain and
France. The tobacco, now minor
product, goes chiefly to Spain, or did
before Admiral Dewey interiered
with the trade. 1t is one thing to
protect existing interests. 1t is an
o(her and very different thing to try

When properly fed dairy COW will
neither gain nor lose in live weight,
and under such conditions will pro-
duce the maximum quantity of milk
which her physical conformation per-
mits. and that milk will have its max
imum quality, i. e., there will be a
maximum epithelial growth.
The food which produces such re-
suits is an ideal milk ration, and the
nearest approach to it which man
possesses is a good pasture. The
moment artificial feeding begins the
conditions are altered. If an excess
of nutriment is given the tendency to
fatten will gradually outstrip the ten
dency for milk production. If a de-
ficiency of nutrimcnt be given the
body suffers first, subsequently the
quality of the milk, and. lastly, the
quantity. These results will be
most marked when there is stimuli
taneously an abundant supply of
water. If now the food be changed
there will be a corresponding change
in the quantity and quality of the
milk, but it will not be immediate.
Experiments have been made for me
under the latter conditions. The re-
suit was that the animals first utilized
the food to replenish their emaciated
bodies. The milk remained practi-
cally unaffected for from four to six
weeks. Then the food told. This
fact emphasizes one source of error in
feeding experiments-they are not
conducted on sufficiently long
period. Professor F. j. Lloyd before
