ground and keep 1t In good filth. We
Give these preliminaries for the reason
that we believe 1t II well to know the
underlying principles in the matter in
order to 60 to work and carry them
out in practical way. First, we would
look over an old bed and see II 1t was
worth saving. II 1t u foul with June
grass, sorrel, ETC., or II the white grub
has got it, it had best be plowed up at
once, for it will cost more to care for
1t than the crop is worth. But If
bed Is worth saving, our way of treat
ing 1t is this: With pillow we turn
furrow about four inches deep, away
from the row, forming a back furrow
In the alley and leaving about foot
of row; the burrows are turned right
onto the mulch. If the weather Is dry
we follow the pillow with the cultiva-
tor; If not, we prefer leaving it for
day or so, it will cultivate much bet
ter If little dry. We cultivate several
times In row as deep as possible, in
order to stir and mix the mulch into
the soil Zine manure may be spread on
and treated the same way). After care
is to keep the bed well cultivated and
the runners off, Late in winter we
mulch between the rows .(nevcr on the
plants) with horse manure direct from
the stable; we have used COW manure,
but it isn't as satisfactory. The old
vines over the row make covering
enough for the plants. Our object In
blowing is to strengthen and narrow up
the row, break up and fine the soil
making a reservoir for the plants to
draw from another year. After re-
peatedly trying different plans, we have
come to the conclusion that this is the
most scientific and practical plan to
pursue"

Culture, Of German MIllet.

formation about the culture and the
use of German millet. l have tried to
grow it for several years, but have new
er been successful. Also please state
il it is good forage to feed to working
stock. 1t seems to be the opinian OF
several of our farmers that it has a
tendency to have a weakening effect on
the Kidneys. D. W., Rutland, Ca
Answer.-German millet should not
be sown until the weather is settled
warm. To do we'll it must be on rich
land, or be highly MANFRED. It calls
for a complete fertilizer, such as we'll
rotted barnyard manure, or highly am
nominated phosphate with good per-
centage of potash. The land should be

filth by repeated plowings and har-
rowings. Sow about three pecks OF
seed per acre, harrow In lightly and
then roll the land to firm the soil about
the seed 1t should be cut just as the
heads appear and before the seed forms
The seed develops very rapidly after
heads appear, and the cutting should
not be delayed. Ripe millet is consid-
cred unhealthy. 1t is a very rich, nu-
tritious forage; should not be fed too
freely at first, and should not form an
exclusive diet at any time.

Treating Old Strawberry Beds.

This is one of the most. If not the
most, important question that con-
fronts the strawberry grower at this
time of the year. writes o. A. Hammer
in Michigan Fruit Grower. The plants
spark OF strength into a large crop of
fruit, and their vitality must be and is
at very low ebb. Now, if we are to
bring these old devitalized plants back
into a condition of ''fruiting vigor"
again, we must go TO work and meet
old Dame Nature-head her off and
turn her into the right channel. and.
off a log. But we must first have a
clear conception of those laws working
in and controlling the life habit of the
strawberry plant. Experimenters and
close students of nature are agreed rp-
on the following: The life work Ct the
species is to propagate itself: first, by
seed (fruit), and then by division Ct the
plant (runners). OF course, plant
will make runners before fruiting, and
viii fruit after making runners-to
limited amount; and, If the conditions
were favorable, the difference might
he nearly imperceptible; and, too, vari-
sties differ in this respect, as they have
quite a diversity of habits. But, gem
orally speaking, this RUE may be con-
sidered as fundamental and depended
upon. So in handling the old bed we
must keep the fact In mind that 1t is
natural for the plant to make runners,
or divide itself into many plants, all
with badly developed. If any, fruit buds.
But II we go to work and keep off the
runners, stimulate the plant into
good. healty growth, we head of nature
and direct her from the plsut making
business into the bud making business

called 'fruiting vigoi with which 10th

ditions. So. In managing an old bed.

Horticulture



The question OF treatment for potato
bugs Is always a live one. Spraying
with Paris green is without doubt the
best method for large fields, as 1t not
only kills the bugs but protects the
vines to a great extent. Some potato
growers, however, prefer to pick on all
the bugs by hand. While this takes
great deal Of time, yet 1t is entirely
feasible. Where children can be hired
to do the work field may be soon
cleared Of the bugs.
In the selection Of seed for the next
year great care should be taken that
all Of the seed be free from any lndi-
cations of the rot. This end can be
attained II the potatoes are selected
from parts of the field where no blight
appears on the leaves. The disease IS
carried over from year to year in the
seed, and II this be carefully selected
1t would appear possible to eradicate
some of the potato diseases entirely.
The depth of eye in the potato is
sometimes of great moment, but 1t mas
it's objections as well as its advantages.
The varieties that have deep eyes are
more suitable for dry land than those
that have eyes on the surface. The
deep cavities retain the moisture, anu
this is often considerable of help. The
deep eyes are also said to indicate TO
business, while others contend that at
the same time they also Indicate
coarseness. Deep eyes protect the buds
or sprouts against accidents, and thns
they are more sure of sending out
sprouts than any others. On the other
hand, the deep-eyed potato is objected
to on account of the difficulty OF peel
ing 1t without waste. The deep eyes
compel the cutting away of much Oh the
potato to get the eyes out, as the eyes
make dark places on the potato that
appear unsightly. They are thus no
potato for MASKING, and as potatoes are
now frequently served in that way, the
objection Is permanent
1t would be interesting to know what
effect the size of the potato stalk OF
top has on the size of the potato tuber.
We generally think that a vigorous
top should produce vigorous ana
large tuber for the reason that there
is more machinery, il we may call II
that, for the elaboration of material
for the formation OF the tuber. All
Of the material that forms the
tuber has to be elaborated from
the top. If the tubers themselves
are no larger, then is the ag-
gregate of the tubers of a large plant |
greater in bulk than from small
plant? What is the observation Of the |
readers of The Farmers Review in the |
matter? 1t would be valuable fact to
slucidate, as the large tops are objec-
ionable unless they can give some good
reason for their existence. OF course
we know 1t is sometimes said that a
ield of potatoes has all run to tops,
Ind we have seen such apparent cases,
)ut we do not know that this bears at
Ill on the situation.
