Raleigh Finger Marks,

1t is now 800 years since Sir Walter
Raleigh lived in Ireland, but, according
to Sir John Pope of Hennessy many
traces of his residence there can still be
seen. The richly perfumed yellow wall
flowers that he brought to Ireland from
the Azores and the Affane cherry are
still found where he first planted them,
by the Blackwater.
Some cedars he brought to Cork are
to this day growing at place called
Tiyio. The four venerable yew trees, the
branches of which have twined and in
termingled into sort of summer house
thatch, are pointed out as having shell
tered Raleigh when he first smoked to-
bacco in his Youghal garden. In that
garden he also planted tobacco. A few
steps farther on, where the town wall
Of the thirteenth century surrounds the
garden of the warden s house, is the IA
nous spot where the first Irish potato
was planted by him.-Chicago Record.

Shading Alkali Lands.

The efficiency of shading alkali land
to counterfeit evaporation, the alkali
salts ascending to the surface, is strik.
ingly illustrated in the case of some
field crops which when once established
will thrive Oh fairly strong alkali soil,
provided that good, thick "stand" has
once been obtained This is notably true
of the great forage crop of the arid re-
gion, alfalfa, or lucern. Its seed is ex-
tremely sensitive to black alkali and
will decay in the ground unless protect
ed against it, But when once full
stand has been obtained the field may
endure for many years without a sign
of injury. Here two effects combine
viz, the shading, and the evaporation
through the deep roots and abundant
foliage, which alone prevents in a large
measure the ascent of the moisture to
the surface
Shallow rooted annual crops that give
but little shade, like the cereals while
measurably impeding the rise of the
salts during their growth, frequently
allow of enough rise after harvest to
prevent reseeding the following season.

Grain Versus Pasture.

It used to be common for farmers who
had fine pastures, especially on land
that was annually overfowed, to boast
that they could fatten beeves more
cheaply on grass than on grain. But
that time has passed, according to
American Cultivator, which says:
The pasture has not been wholly su-
perseded, for the farmer who has good
pasture still has the advantage, provid-
ed he supplements pasture with grain.
In spite of the fact that the pasture sup
plies food without labor, while the corn
crop, if grown and harvested as it should
be, requires much labor, the latter is
much the cheaper feed. There is COM
paratively little beef now grown which
comes from pasture alone. Even IN the
blue grass region of Kentucky western
grain is largely used to supplement- the
feed of stock which are still fattened on
pasture. There is probably no richer
grass in the world than the Kentucky
blue grass, which is, however, Identical
with the June grass in our northern
states. But for cheap nutrition, and es-
pecially for stock that is being fattened,
it is no match for Indian corn. The
grain of good corn crop has more nu-
tritive value than the grain If any OF
the smaller grains. And there is besides
a great deal of nutritive value in the
cornstalks. This is now appreciated by
western farmers more than it ever has
been before. It is the value OF corn
stalks as feed that has done as much as
anything else to make corn supersede
pasture as q means for fattening cattle.

To Fight the Cooling Moth.

The Oregon board Of horticulture
wishes to import German bird known
as the kohlmeise (Parus major), for the
purpose of fighting the codling moth.
In Germany this bird is said to be a
great insect destroyer, and some enthu-
siasrs Oh the western slope seem to
think that it will entirely take the
place of sprays and bands. Concerning
the foregoing, Rural New Yorker says:
1.-The truth seems to be that this Ger
man bird is not bit better at catching
insects than the American ehickadee.
It appears to love seeds and fruit as
we'll as it Goes insects and will attack
and kill smaller and weaker birds in a
savage manner. The results following
the introduction of the English sparrow
ought to make people thoughtful about
bringing in this new candidate for dis
favor

CULTIVATION OF CORN,
Reasons Why Shallow Culture Is Preferred
to Deep Culture.

Reasons Why Shallow Culture Is Preferred
to Deep Culture.
Every year the question, (Which is
preferable for corn, deep or shallow
pulture?'' is agitated, and each year the
advocates for shallow culture show an
increase in numbers. The Farm, Field
and Fireside has recently opened its COL
umns to this annual discussion. From
Columbia, Mo-, correspondent writes
rs follows:
Shallow culture has the preference
for these reasons: l. In the average sea-
son larger yield will be obtained. 2.
The plants are able to withstand
drought with less damage. 3. Cutting
the roots of the corn plant is avoided.
4. An acre of corn can be kept free from
weeds and properly crushed on the sur
face by surface tillage for less money and
with less effort than by deep tillage. 5.
The land is left in condition to be bet
ter protected from washing and more
easily handled the next season, or can
be sown to grass, wheat or oats very
much more conveniently than if ridged,
As will be the case in deep tillage.
A Macon farmer writes favoring a
thorough and deep preparation of the
soil previous to seeding, after which
shallow culture is advised. "It has been
demonstrated shallow blowing on lands
deeply prepared has tendency to hold
the moisture. In the south rapid Guilt
walton is required, and an implement
that cuts wide slice is used. We use a
sweep or scrape that cuts from 3 to "a
inches, that scrapes up the soil in rows
running very shallow"
An Ohio farmer says: Shallow, for
the following reasons: /. Deep cultiva-
ton cuts OF the lateral roots of the
plants and thereby weakens their growth
and lessons the crop. 2. The ridges turn
the water away from the hills when
rain does come and the hollows conduct
it away from the field, if the ground is
at all rolling, or to low places, where
it is not SO much needed, and the field
is left very rough. 8. Shallow cultiva-
ton implies that there are many teeth
or tongues to the cultivator, and these
stir the ground more, break up the clods
and crust if any much better, make a
good deal better mulch for the corn and
leave the ground smooth. Then when
rain comes it soaks in all over the sur
face and is stored up for the benefit of
the corn. 4. Shallow cultivation is east
er on man and beast and tools and can
be continued till the stalks are in tassel
with much profit.

Experiments With Wheat.

At the Kansas station subsoiling for
wheat has not benefited the yield. It
has, on the contrary, apparently reduced
the yield over that on surface plowed
ground in nearly every instance it has
been tried. AS to the time of seeding
wheat, the results of the past season S
ex Deriments confirm those of former
years. The best yields were obtained
from seedlings made about the third
week in September. 1t has been shown
that yearly application of 20 tons of
barnyard manure to the acre is decid-
eddy detrimental, in that it causes an
excessive growth of straw and failure
to develop kernel. The rotation expert
ments in which wheat is followed by
some leguminous catch crop, sown as
soon as the wheat is harvested and re-
moved or plowed under in time to again

have only just been begun, the past year
being the only season in which wheat
has been grown on this plan. The wheat
seeded on soy bean stubble gave the best
yields.
The test CT varieties is Of special in
terest the past year, in that it shows
the comparative hardness of some 90
leading varieties grown at the station
for several years. Out of the whole
number only the Turkey, Tasmanian
Red and Crimean withstood thu severe
freeze in November SO as to yield at the
rate of ten bushels or more per acre.
Wheat grown continuously without ma
nure on measured acre for II years in
succession has produced an average year.
ly yield of 10. 81 bushels. The clC } was
completely winter killed during three
of these years SO that only IA crops
were harvested, and two of them were
partly winter killed The average yield
of the IA crops harvested is %. rs bushels.
