POULTRY POINTERS.

Damaged grain or fermented food Is
very apt to induce bowel diseases.
To fatten geese rapidly feed boiled oats
with milk two or three times a day.
From this time on through the winter
early feeding will give the best results.
Removing to warm, dry quarters will
prevent the biggest half of any disease.
1t is not bad plan to keep nonsitting
breed to lay when the sitters are Matching
On the farm especially the most money
is made in variety, keeping chickens, tur-
keys, ducks and geese.
Begin with a good breed, one that is
medium in size, good layers, excellent ia
BILE fowls and constitutionally strong.
If you will put pan of whole corn In
the oven and let 1t char, you will be hav-
ing charcoal in the best form for fowls.
While it is more trouble to dress the
fowl before sending to market, in nearly
all cases much better price can be OBJ

One advantage in keeping only one
breed of chickens on the farm Is that they
can have unlimited range and in this way
lessen the cost of Keeping

1t is well to bear in mind that I'M
blanched celery will withstand several
degrees of frost without any bad effect,
bat blanched celery is very susceptible
to frost. For this reason il should be
stored much earlier than the other,
which had better be left ont until near
Thanksgiving, or as late as possible, ac-
cording to the weather outlook. The
best time to put it in is from Oct. 90
to Nov. 90, according to latitude and
section Of country. To the foregoing
timely suggestion from correspondent
of American Gardening is added the
following from the same journal:
After testing the various methods Of
storing celery for winter use I am con-
vinoed that, for my own purpose at
least, the one / herewith describe is

together (six or seven inches apart),
and the plants about the same distance

Prepnring For Flax Growing.

Mr.. Q. r. Dodge, in his recent report
on flax culture, says that undoubtedly
in this country fall blowing will be adj
vantageous with cross blowing in the
spring. Where heavy clay loans are
chosen two plowings in the spring will
give better results than one The num-
Der of harrowings will depend wholly
upon the lumpiness of the soil, as all
clods must be broken up and soil made
fine and even. The roller should be
used to make the ground as smooth and
level as possible and to press into the
soil any small stones that may be upon
the surface. Heavy lands that from
their situation are liable to be more or
less covered with surface water during
the winter should be avoided.

SUCCESSFUL STORAGE OF CELERY.


lily manfred before planting and the
plants are kept well watered and Guilt
waited. They are given but one slight
earthing up until slight frosts set in.
Stakes are then driven in along the two
outside rows, giving the tops slight
inclination toward the central row, and
having the tops of the stakes about
level with the tops of the celery. Earth
is then banked up about two-thirds of
the heights of the plants and made firm.
A ten inch board is then set against the
stakes on each side, and the earth is
banked to level with the top of the
boards. Two more boards are nailed to-
&c her at right angles to one another,
al 4 these are placed over the top.
Some straw is placed alongside Of the
rows and is put over the boards during
a sharp freeze. In mild weather both
straw and boards are removed entirely.
This is all the protection that will be
needed until severe winter weather sets
in, when the whole bank may be COW
cred with leaves, straw and litter of any
kind. The point that appeals most
strongly to my fancy is the opportunity
of making what is essential to late keep
ing celery-viz, late growth.

One Thing and Another.

The Kansas station reports consider
able damage to alfalfa in Wallace ooun-
ty from grasshoppers. The injury is be-
ing done by the common native species,
such as the red legged and the differen-
tial locusts An interesting feature in
connection with the present attack of
grasshoppers Is the unusual prevalence
Of fungus (the empura) which is de-
stroying them in large numbers.
The American Agriculturist reports
from every part of the corn belt COM
plant that there are an unusual num-
Der Of barren stalks in every field, and
that the ear when husked is both short
and indifferently filed with grain. 1t
places the total yield now at not more
than 1850, 900, 900 to 1900, 600, 600
bushels, with a possibility of further
shrinkage as husking proceeds, these fig
ures Of course being but tentative.
1t is claimed that Australian salt
bush is valuable for forage, thriving on
land where nothing else will grow and
highly adapted to alkali soils and all
regions subject to periodical drought.
According to Idaho station expert
ments, the red wheats are least affected,
while the white varieties, notably vel
vet chaff, are most subject to rust. Poor
drainage and an excess of nitrogen in
tho soil seem also to aggravate the evil.
If soil is sour, the acid may be neu-
tralized by dressing of lime or wood
ashes. Soils from poorly drained places
frequently contain sour hutr

SOWING PASTURE IN FALL.
Successful Methods Practiced by
Leading Farmers I'm the West.

Successful Methods Practiced by
Leading Farmers In the West.
Sowing pastures in the fall is an i'm
portant matter to farmers, in connection
with which an Iowa correspondent of
The Prairie Farmer has the following
to say about successful methods prac-
ticed by many of the leading grass grow
ers in his section of the country:
We pillow the ground close and deep
and harrow and Toll it until it is thor.
oughly pulverized. We sow plenty of
seed and harrow it in. Farmers, as q
rule, do not SOW enough seed to war
rant good stand. and, as result,
many meadows and pastures are weedy.
A well sodded pasture seldom has weeds
in it. One reason why so many farmers
SOW grass seed along with wheat, oats
or rye is that they are afraid of losing
crop by sowing the grass seed alone.
We never follow this method. AS is
well known, the more rank growing
grain shades and saps the ground and
by so doing robs the young and tender
grass of the essential plant food. 1t is
the same whether the seed sown is
timothy, clover or redtop.
In all states where hardpan is found
near the surface a subsoil pillow will be
beneficial. Turn up the soil deep and it
will retain the moisture below that is
lost when only the surface is turned
under. Furnish food for the roots and
you will insure a good crop. Any one
who has worked in the soil is we'll
aware that ground once loosened up
never returns to the solid condition it
was in before it was disturbed by the
pillow or spade. l know of one field of 40
acres that was SUBSIDIZED % years ago.
This was in the center of a field of 200
acres and to this day you can see the
difference in any crop raised on that
land. AS the land is all owned by one
man and receives the same care it goes
to prove that subsoiling is beneficial to
all land underlaid with hardpan soil.
The subsoil pillow should follow the
common breaking pillow, throwing its
burrows out from the bottom of the
other furrow.
Deep plowing is just as essential in
preparing the ground for grasses as for
corn or any other crop. Too many farm
ers follow the plan of sowing grass seed
down on the hard and weedy stubble
field and expect good crop by harrow
ing it over once or twice. 1t is almost
an accident if any of the seed receives
any covering. 1t is left to sprout and
perish from the sun and wind, not to
speak of the cold of winter. This method
of sowing pasture may not apply to all
states, but I would not hesitate to try it
